The influence of Senator Douglas in Illinois,
and over the men of that State, is well exem-
plified in the votes of the Illinois delegation,
on the English bill. While other anti-Le-
compton men faltered and failed in the hour
of trial, the Illinoisans, one and all, stood
firm.

THE BURNING MoUNrAN.-As is generally
known, there is a vein of coal located above
water level in the Broad Mountain, about sew
en- miles from this borough, and near Heck
scherville, which for twenty-one years has
been on fire. The vein, which contains ex-
ccllcnt white ash coal, is some forty feet in
thickness. The origin of the fire is attributed
to 4 couple of miners, who, having some work
to perform in the drift in the depth of winter,
built a fire-they being cold-in the gangway
The flames destroying the prop timbers, were
carried by a strong current, rapidly along the
passage. and the fire communicating to the
coal, all subsequent efforts to eXtinguish it
were Intellectual. The men were cut off from
escape, and were undoubtedly suffocated TO
death. Their remains were never found. a
few days since we ascended the mountain al
the spot of the fire, and were much interested
in examining the effect of the fire upon the
surface. The course of it is from west tC
| east, and where the vein is nearest the sur
face, the ground is for the space of severa
hundred feet sunken into deep pits, and while
! the stones exhibit evidence of having bcel
exposed to the action of intense heat, ever.
vestige of vegetation had been blasted. 1t i
desert track in the midst of smiling fertility
The ground in some places was almost to-
warm for the hand to rest upon it, while stean
| from water heated by the internal fire, ros
from every pore. The fire has evidently ex
tended for several hundred yards from tn,
place it originated, and finds vent and air t.
continue its progress, at the pits to which w
have alluded. A score of years has passed
still it burns, and will burn until further fue
is denied the devouring element. Thousand
of tons may yet feed the fire, before it i
checked.-PottsUiIe Journal.

ed up in the melee. Some oIe called for wat
er-water to throw on the dogs. Debby, TAX
ing the hint, ran to the kitchen, caught up
kettle of boiling water, and threw it-not on
the dogs, which had by this time got out on
the portico-but on the greater part of the
sssurprise'' or surprised party, who had been
coming up the long steps of the portico, and
who, hearing the noise of the dogs, in their
hurry to escape, particularly the ladies, had
missed 'their footing" falling, rolling and
tumbling to the ground, just in time to oreceire
the contents Of The kettle.
The scene that followed beggars description.
Suffice it to say, that what with the blows in
fiicted by Mr.. Hunter, and the scalding water
50 lavishly bestowed by Debby, not more than
half that sssurprise party returned home un-
der a week. The very mention OF sssurprisc
partly causes Nellic's nasal proturberance to
tingle.

The Tribune correspondent writes: "There
we're only seven votes cast for Douglas in
the Democratic Senatorial caucus. These
we're thrown by Shields, Stuart, Clingman,
Brown, Toombs, Green and Bigler. The de-
bate lasted fsom 10 o'clock in the morning
till late in the afternoon. treat bitterness
was manifested, and Mr.. Toombs left the
caucus whom the discussion was Mt its height.
MIR. Broderick was not invited, and Senator
Hammond and others nbsented themselves

THIRTy-FIFTH CONGRESS.

WAsniNaTok, Dec. 10.
SEEArE.-A report was received from the
Secretary of the Interior, concerning the
amount Of expenditures for the District OF
Columbia; also report from the Secretary
Of the Treasury, indorsing his acceptance
Both were laid on the table.
Monday was fixed for the Appointment OF
committees.
Considerable routine business was trans-
acted, after which the Senate, at l2} O'Clock,
adjourned till Monday.
No additional Senators were present to-
day.
Housx.-Mr. Boyse, Of s. c., asked leave
to introduce a resolution to admit Lieut..
Mowry TO the floor OF the House, ~ dele
gate from Arizona.
Mr.. Jones, OF Tenn, objected, saying that
Arizona is part Of New Mexico, and he saw
no use Of admitting two delegates from one
territory.
The House resumed the consideration Of
the Watrous impeachment case,
MIR. Billinghurst, OF Wis, favored the i'm
peacLment, and said the charges made against
Watrous were, that the judge had entered
into corrupt conspiracy for the unlawful
institution in his court Of suits in which he
was personally interested for the purpose Of
aNcStuS tHStA lUIuuNUu IVY 0uu tuU N6IulCt VI
local Texas jury. lie bad entered into .
conspiracy to deprive individuals Of their
lands by means Of forged papers. lie had
presided at the trial Of cases IN which he was
personally interested, knowing that he WAS
disqualified from so doing. lie had permit
ted to pass without rebuke, repeated illegal
acts Of officers Of his court. Mr.. Billing
hurst contended that these charges we're sus-
tanned.
Mr.. Ready, Of Tenn, said that no clamor
I or outside pressure would induce him to cast
stain on Judge Watrous by sending him to
the Senate for trial unlcrs no was satisfied
the result would establish his guilt.
/ MIR. Davis, Of Mo-, enquired whether there
was any evidence to show that Judge Wat
rous was engaged in series Of speculations
in Texas.
Mr.. Ready replied that there was not q
syllable of testimony to show that Judge
Watrous ever engaged to buy more than one
tract Of land at any time, the principal oil
which was not paid. There is proof tina,
the Judge is a poor man, and that he was led
into the purchase as u matter Of favor te
persons in Alabama who had the capital. Ii.
argued that, from the evidence, there is moth
ing to show corruption or malfeasance in Of
fee.

Ths or,r,n o. the Name .

A correspondent questions tho accuracy OF
our statement that this county Was named
for w. Z. Lee, insisting that 1t was named
In honor Of Lieutenant Lee Of the United
States Dragons, in the winter OF 1885,.
Lieut.. Lee wss at that time stationed at
Montrose, and had previously written sketch
e. OF the dragons, in which he brought the
"New Purchase" into notice. He was after
wards appointed a commissioner on the part
OF tho United States and made report fla
vorable to Iowa upon the boundary dispute
with Missouri.
We acknowledge our mistake as to the
time when the county was named, and we
know there has been general impression
that the name was given in honor of Lieut..
Lee, but we are informed by those who are
familiar with the circumstances that the Leg
islature of Wisconsin was induced to name
it in honor OF w. e. Lee, who was then
largely interested in the Half.breed Tract,
and we think that Mr.. Gillett, the brother in
law Of Lee, and DR., Galland, his agent, were
in Belmont during the session Of the Legis-
lature.
We we're not then in this region Of coun-
try, hut have derived our information from
the personal recollection OF those who were
living in this county at the time. We pre-
sumo the agitation Of the matter will draw
out the "truth Of history" to illume the
subject and settle the question for all time to
come.

kSowSo WHAT 0NE's ABouT.--aHalf the
evil in this world" saws Ruskin, in his
stones Of Venice, "comes from people not
knowing what they do like; not deliberately
settling themselves to find what they really
enjoy. All people enjoy giving away money,
for instance; they don't know that; they
rather think they Ike keeping it; and they
do keep it, under this false Impression, often
to their great discomfort. Everybody likes
to do good but not one in hundred inds

evil; yet no man ever really enjoyed doing
evil since God made the worid.n
