The Oldest Man in America.

The Lancaster examiner says that
Peter Nassau, colored man, now resi-.
dent of Woodstock, Vermont. has reach
ed the extraordinary age of one hundred
and twenty-six years ! The fact has
been established by N. Haskell, Esq ,
town clerk Of Woodstock. who has taken
great pains in order 10 correctly trace out
Peters history. When quite young, he
came as genlleman's servant from Mar
Unique, his native place, 10 Boston, but
for many years past, Woodstock has been
his home. Peter Nassau is as well known
in Vermont as the Green Mountains
themselves. He is Of a thin, spare frame
and is nearly bald, but his skin is remar.
kably smooth and unwrinkled.l He has
no son, but seven daughters, two Of
whom yet live in Woodstock, by which
town he is supported. Go however,
where he will--and he is fond Of wander.
ing about--he always finds friends who
are glad to give him food and shelter.
His eyesight is still good, and his teeth
remarkably sound for man Of his age
He converses freely, but unlike most old
men, is not garrulous.--While he was
sitting in the office Of the Windsor House
lately, some one asked HIM how many
more winters lie expected 10 see "Ah !
said Peter. " il this yere house was offer
ed to me all fullof gold, | wouldn't 'cept
it to live my days over again" 1t is al
most certain thai Pete. Nassau is the oil
dest living man in America. p

duties Of such imported articles as are au-
thorzed by the tariff act of July 1915
should be remilted what if one fourth
should be RENTED; what If one third
should be RENTED.
The Senate then resumed the consider
alton of The House bill providing for the
settlement of the claims Of officers of the
revolutionary army.
Mr.. Pugh offered an amendment strlk.
ing out the first and second sections, and
inserting that there shall be paid to each
of the surviving soldiers embraced BY the
resolution of Congress of the % Of March

specified in the certificates issued 10 him

The Case # Mr.. Harlan.

This is a very singular case, and as
some of our readers may not understand
il, we copy the following statement from
the Boston Journal, in which the facts
are concisely set forth.
"The case Of Mr.. Harlan is decidedly
novel, and we give summary OF the
facts, which may have escaped the men,
ory Of many Of our readers. The elec-
tion for U. S. Senator in the Iowa Legis-
latufe, took place in January last. BY a
provision ofthe Constitution, that and
other offices are filed by joint conye n
tion of the two branches went into joint
convention on the 4th, for the purpose Of
electing justices of the Supreme Court
and United States Senator, and voted to
elect Supreme Judges first, and the anti
Nebraska candidates for chief and Asso-
cJate Justice, the convention adjourned to
the next day Saturday. 1t was found on
Saturday morning that The Anti-Nebras-
ka candidate for Associate Justice would
be elected on the first ballot, soms four
or five who had objected TO him having
withdrawn their objections. Thereupon
The Senate (which was controlled by the
Democrats) met at 9 O'Clock and adjourn
ed itselfto Monday, the design beng 10
prevent the meeting Of the regular joint
convention. Al 10 o'clock however. pur
suant 10 adjournment, the anti.Nebraska
senators came within the bar of the
House, and a joint convention was decIar-
ed, not without wrangling on the part OF
the Democrats of the House, who at
length withdrew with three exceptions.
The anti. Nebraska candidate for Asso-
ciate Justice was then elected and Hon.
James Harlan was chosen United. States
Senator, by majority not only of the
convention then in session, but of the
Joint convention, all told-he receiving
fifty two votes, fifty being majority OF
both Houses. His election was certified
by the officers, and commission was is
sued. On Monday, resolution was
passed in the State Senate declaring the
proceeding of the joint convention null
and void, and refusing TO allow them To
be recorded in the journal of the Senate.
A similar resolution was voted down
in the House, and The record duly made
"The question in this case, it is obvi.
Gus, is whether factious minority, after
having voted to go into joint convention
for certain purpose, and that convention
has been adjourned to a stated time, can
by adjourning The Senate, defeat the Pur'
pose ofthe majority. This question is fol
the Senate to decide, and fortunately its
decision will not affect the representative
from Iowa. The Legislature of that State
is now in session, and this time with a
clear Republican majority in both branch
es. 1t will immedially return Mr. Harlan
if his seat is declared vacant by the Sen
ate."
