THE SENATE, up to Friday when it adjourn-
ed over to Monday, had been engaged in a de-
bate upon motion to print an extra num-
Der Of the Presidents Message, in which
slavery and. the course of the two opposing
parties was the only theme. The debate had
not terminated at the adjournment.
The HOUSE, had during the same time done
nothing but discuss the admission of Whit
field to his seat as the Kansas delegate But
the whole routine Of Legislature tactics had
not been exhausted, and his friends were
struggling to protract the contest in hopes Of
accessions to their strength by the arrival of
absentees.
The last vote, which vas refusal to lay
the motion for reconsideration of the vote
rejecting him. on the table, exhibited major
ity Of three for sustaining him. He will prob
ably be admitted to his seat The matter was
deferred by consent of both parties, till Tues
day. The only thing that had been accom-
plished during the week was the drawing of
seats by the members. The Presidents mes
sage had not been read in the House, and no
action had on it. The House adjourned from
Friday till Monday Members exhibit a con-
ciliatory and courteous spirit, and good hu
NOR is manifested in all that is said and done
on both sides.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:


That the Turner Bund (Association, which
now has over ninety branch societies in all
parts Of the United States, originated in this
city The original society was composed Of
thirteen members, who on Nov. 2lSt. 1913,
adopted a constitution, and united themselves
together for physical and mental improvement.
This little society proposed to effect the de-
sired objects by gymnastic exercises, lectures,
music and the cultivation Of all the arts and
sciences 1t took for its motto, "Fresch. frel,
froeich from,'' Frank, free cheerful and pi-
GUS" The members we're ed heated, energetic
men, and their associations grew rapidly. 1t
started a newspaper to advocate its measures,
and welcoming men Of all religious opinions
to its ranks and its pursuits. soon extended
to other cities. In 1919 the general Bund
was formed, and this adopted the newspaper
as its organ, and removed its publication office
to New York, where it remained until recent
tly. The Turner Societies now number about
5000 members; among whom are lSraelteS,
Lutherans, Catholics and skeptics. Each
member must attend the gymnastc exercises
twice a week, or give valid excuse for not
doing so; and must also attend the business
meetings and scientific lectures held on one
might Of every week.
The lectures are delivered by members Of
the Society or others, and are upon historical,
scientific, philosophical, artistic or mathemat-
ical topics. The Cincinnati Society now num-
bers about 500 members, and has near three
hundred boys as pupils. 1t owns the hall in
which its meetings are held, and is in a very
prosperous condition. Many of the members
are highly educated men. and particular at
tenton is paid TO the moral character Of APP
plicants for membership.
! The association in Evansville numbers, we
are told. over 800 members, and is in a very
fouriShng condition. 1t must have a power
ful influence upon the moral and intellectual
character Of its members; and if we Judge
/ from the number of papers and periodicals ta-
ken by them, its influence must be favorable
as 4 stimulus to mental culture. 1t is truth
no way fattering to the pride Of our Ameri-
can population, that the Germans in this vi
entity contribute more to the support Of the
press than the native population, and are as
far as newspapers are concerned, the greatest
readers. They pay more to the revenues of
the post office than our American citizens. If
the Turner Bund were not so exclusive, and
could be more Americanized in spirit and OBJ
jects, all would rejoice in its prosperity and
influence.

The City OF SUEz--An Egyptian traveller
made a visit to Suez to see the city that will
soon be the terminus of the railroad, and also
of the much talked Of canal, which is to unite
the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. He says
if the canal shall be built, this place will be-
come great depot for the riches of the In
dies and the manufactures and productions of
China, with those of Europe.
The first impressions of the city, made his
heart ache, because with the exception of the
English hotel and the house of the English
vce-consul and two or three others. he trem-
bled in contemplating the rest, which seemed
ready to fall and bury. him in their ruins
Besides, in passing along the principal street,
he encountered "a mountain Of bales and hills
of merchandise thrown up like barbados
by the merchants, which prevented the pass
age of men and carriages. The only water for
drinking, which is sold in Suez, is exceedingly
brackish, and induces diarrhoea in times when
the cholera prevails; the water is therefore
not only unpleasant to the taste, but perilouS
to health and life. Provisions of every kind
are excessively dear, because all must be
brought from Cairo. .
The health of Suez had suffered severely

the city. An intelligent and philanthropic
Italian physician had endured all manner of
insults and injuries by his efforts to remove
them out of the city: "for the people wished
to live with the dead in family state" The
brave Doctor, however, withstood all assaults,
and at last prevailed.
The correspondent went to see the ''wells
of Noses" ten miles beyond Suez, which are
reported to have sprung from the rock Moses
smote. The sight of water gushing out in the
desert was beautiful; but he felt panied and
ashamed to see the land around uncultivatcd
and abandoned, which might be made gar
den. The telegraph is in operation from Al
exandria to Cairo, thence to Sucz. There are
some difference Of opinion in regard to the
practicability Of Ship canal across the 18th
mus, but N. Lesseps, the French Engineer
is confident Of success. The work on it was
to commence in November last

ENGLISH IGNoRANCE.-A correspondent Of
the National Intelligencer, at London, says
itis very amusing to witness the excitement
respecting the result of your Presidential
election which has just taken place, and the
ignorance which abounds respecting the
mode of conducting it. We met with a cler-
gyman of the Established Church the other
day-a young man full OF academic honors
from ,Oxford-who. did not seem to be pre-
viousIy aware that such things as State Gov
eminent existed, and could not be made to
understand the difference between their func-
tons and those of the Federal Government;
and we were lately asked by public official,
gentleman of education, who and what
were the Senators of the United States what
were their duties, and whether they were not
elected for life!

The HOOP NUIsANcE.-"Since the gigantic
growth of the ladies, dresses, the traffic in the
streets has been considerably impeded. To
remedy this inconvenience which passes all
conception, the Project of Paris has determn-
ed on the following regulations the fu-
ture, the ladies are to walk on one side of the
street, the gentlemen on the other. The
right. as a matter of graciousness, is to be
awarded to the former (though, in the strict
measurement of the truth, they little deserve
it. } and the left to the latter. Plates have al
ready been painted with the Inscriptions
lies danes droite," and Lies messicurs
gauche," and these are stuck up along the
boulevards and all the large thoroughfares.'-

A FUG1rGvE CAPTURED.-Such scenes as
the following were familiar ten and twenty
years ago on the Ohio. At Portsmouth, on
Sunday last the sound of baying hounds was
heard over the kentucky hills opposite our
city, and soon fine deer was seen to ascend
from the southern side of the bluffs and
plunge down the hill side and took to the riy-
er, followed closely by hounds" two legged
and four legged. At the rivers brink the
dogs checked up, while the poor Fugitive"
boldly struck out for the Ohio shore, lined al
ready by hundreds OF spectators, aud psomis-
ing but a poor choice between land and water.
Pursuers Immediately showed out from both
shores in skiffS; and for few minutes the
contest between Ohio and Kentucky was very
exciting. Meantime the poor deer strove to
keep its head above the water, and eagerly
padded on until approached and picked up by
the kcntuckians.

BENT SHIP KNEEs-The process of bend
ing timber by steam is becoming an extensive
business at the East. Several large and ele-
CANT ships have been turned out this season
n New York, whose timbers have been shap.
ed by steaming, and in point of model,
strength and finish excel any others built by
the aame men. Ship builders are convinced,
is said of the superiority Of bent knees
In strength and finish, they are claimed to be
ar superior to the natural knees generally
used, both arms being alike, and of full width.
The lastenings are better distributed and they
require much less labor IN fitting them for
their places. The thorough steaming they
undergo before bending, expels the sap and
seasons them in short time. Consequently
it is expected they will be more durable than
any others, especially as they are made from
the best timber, and sawed to dimensions. 1t
is thought this species of bent timber will be
adopted by the navy.

KANsAs.-A statement has been published
by seventy or eighty Free State men, in Kan
sas, declaring that the administration of the
Kansas aid fund, has been a fraud and an i'm
position upon the contributors and emigrants.
Very little of the large amounts said to have
been contributed, have ever been seen in Kan
sas. The promises made to emigrants at
home, have not been fulfilled in Kansas; the
most destitute and worthy free State squat
ters, who have lost all they possessed, in the
war of the factions-have been turned away
naked and destitute by the agents Of the en-
grant Aid Association, while funds were album
dant in the same hands for land speculations
The signers Of this address append to their
names, the state and county from which they
emigrated, and they appear, all but five or six
to be from Free States. They advise emil
grants to have nothing to do with Aid So
ceties--but to rely On their own strength and
resources.

A Most unvarrantable intrusion.

While the family OLA friend on Second
street, were following their usual quiet do
mestic avocations on Saturday morning, they
heard distant rumble, then startling shock,
and sudden crash as if the whole house was
falling from its foundations about their heads
Rushing in CONSERVATION into the hall, there
lay upon his back, frantic horse, with his
head, neck, fore shoulders and legs within the
house, and his mate PROSTATE on the side
walk beside him. They were two fine young
animals, belonging to the team of orr friends
the MesSrs. Cooks Express wagon, that had
taken fright few squares distant while the
driver had left them for a moment, and start
ing in mad career, and acquiring such mo-
mentum of speed that in attempting to turn
corner, they shot diagonally across the
street, and dashed headlong through the front
door Of the corner house. with such force that
one of the animals was thrown almost bodily
into the hall, and the other striking the side
Of the building and Earring its brick walls as
if they were struck by a cannon shot
The front door was burst from its fastenings
and hinges and flew in fragments over young
lady who was at the moment engaged in the
entry and who narrowly escaped a death
blow from the protruding hoofs of the inva-
ding animal. The shock and fright to the
family was like the appalling explosion Of a
steam boiler, or the CONSERVATION of an earth
quake on quiet day. On clearing away the
wreck, it was found the chief damage had been
sustained by the door. The horses were, mi
raculousIy, unhurt, and the only inconveni-
enee that followed was, that our friend was
compelled--ather against his will-to keep
"open doors to all" Tor one day.
