United States until the new President was
elected and inaugurated on the following
4th of March.
The Senate being divided into three
classes, one-third of the Senators retiring
every second 4th Of March, that body is
deemed to be always organized; and hence
it is that its officers are not elected for q
stated period, but qualified until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified. The
members of the House of Representatives
are elected every two years, and hence,
on the 4th Of March every second year,
on the adjournment of the House, the
term of Office of each member expires, and
the term of the new members commences.
The term of Office of Speaker of the
House of Representatives dies with the
Congress that elect the incumbent; while
for the purpose of organizing the next
House, the Clerk and other officers hold
over, the election of their successors be-
ing the first thing in order after the choice
of Speaker.
MORE THAN ONE DAYS ABsRNoR OF THE
PRESIDENT PRO T1lRoRR vAcATEs THE
OFFICE.
The President pro tempore OF the Sem
ate must not only be member of that
body. but must be strict in his attendance.
In January, 1857, the Hon. Jesse d.
Bright, then Senator from Indiana, exer-
cised the duties of the office in the place
of Vice President William r. King, who
died without ever assuming the chair Of
the Senate. Mr. Bright having occasion
to visit Indiana, wrote note to the Hon.
James NJ. Mason, of Virginia, asking him
to preside in bis stead. The letter was
read and Mr.. Mason presided. During
the day, Mr.. Oass, of Michigan, rose and
stated that as Mr.. Bright would be absent
several days, and having no right to de-
signate member to perform the duties of
the chair beyond one day, he would move
on the next day to go into an election,
which he accordingly did, and Mr.. Mason
was elected and served until at the next
session his successor was elected. The
decision that the President pro tempore
cannot vacate the chair beyond one day
without losing his Office, is thus settled by
the Senate

Coal MINES NEAR ST. LOUISA re-
cent visitor to the great coal field on the
Illinois side of the Mississippi, opposite st.
Louis, has given to the Oil Register glow
ing account of the mineral treasure there.
The coal treasures which underlie SO large
apart Of Southern Illinois seem to display
their best veins near that city. There are
fifty workable mines, nearly all of them in
operation, and near the line of the railroad
between St. Louis and Belleville. The
mines of st. Clair county give to the mar
ket nearly SOC, 900 tons Of coal, worth, in
the total aggregate, not less than 81, 1885,
500, and yielding to the road clear profit
of $219, 900.

them When watch or purse is found on a
body for which reward has not been offered
they are, as rule, poclzeted and their late
owner put back into the river, that he may be
picked up by the police or some brother pro-
fessional. That the men following this loath-
some calling are callous, hard, and brutal is a
matter OF course that they should long for a
crop of well-dressed, richly appointed suicides
as eagerly as the sportsman does for a good
bag is not wonderful; and that they are as I'M
scrupulous in their dealings with the dead as
they are persevering in their efforts to capture
them may be taken as inevitable. The strange
and repugnant calling once known and real
lied, the character OF its professors may be
easily conceived. t.s9 sr1sst- ~ 81
= OF course, the Thames police take prompt
charge of all the bodies they see, but tile range
of their duties is wide, the number of boats
and men told off 10 prescribed number of
river comparatively small, and the result is a
not improbable opening for the lighterlnan,
who, half thief, half body-srateiier, turns his
attention and, ,devotes his nights to looking up
and down the river for corpses. A short time
back one of the best known Of these fellows
was seen about about 2 A. NJ, pulling stealth
ly in shore, with. what seemed in the dense
mist and darkness to be a passenger or fellow
laborer sitting in the stern. Something in the
uncOuth swinging to and fro of the latter ex-
cited the suspicion of the police-boat on duty,
land, fearing that a helpless drunkard had fall
EN- into evil hands, and would be robbed and
maltreated, the lighteman was hailed and. or
dered to pull to. 1twas then seen that the man
E supposed tobe drunk was dead The gear ordi-
narily used for towing the subjects from where
found to the nearest wharf in the same
parish was out OF order, and the lighterman
had in consequence colmly reared the corpse
up with its back to the rudder, and in such an
n
dead touched each time the former bent for
ward to his oar. Only astiff 'un, master, Pm
taking up to Rothcrhithe, was sulkily given in

six Best Shade Trees (Decidnoual
The inquiry is often made of us-.sWlsich are
the best hali-dozen shade trees ?ahIt is said
that one man praises this tree, another that,
and another that; which do long experience
and observation prove to be the best? An
important question, which the writer will try
to answer. ,ass,8e'a8 iss al9mlaGe8
1. The White Elm UE,aus Americaaa)-
Some persons would, perhaps, give this post Of
honor to the Sugar Maple; but we think that
all things considered, it belongs to the Elm
Nor do we forget the merits OF other species of
this tree. The Dutch cork bark elm isyery
hardy, luxuriant in foliage, and rapid-in
growth, but it lacks the loftiness and graceful
dignity OF our native tree The English elm,
in its several varieties is very fine, and so is
the Scotch; whoever has room for an ass0ft-
ment, should include these But the noble
native tree must bear away the palm. 1t
grows in nearly every part OF the country, and
is easily transplanted, and grows rapidly
2. The Sugar Maple Acer Saccbarilstna) l..
Not lower than the second place, surely, must
we put this tree. 1t is sober matter-of-fac
tree, with none of the graceful poetry of the
elm; its branches do not droOp and sway
and float about with the caressing wind. 1t
has round, bushy head, makes dense shade
and has breadth and massiyeness of foliage
persons insist that the Scarlet tiosce4sn1 tAcer4
Titbrusn,) is most ornamental Every treelov1
er delights to see its gay red TUFTS opening I'M
early Spring, before a single leaf appears on
any tree, and when the only signs OF revivingl
vegetation are the adventurous catkins on the
willows and poplars. Then, too, 1t grows rap
idly and grows everywhere. And it has a.
certain freedom and play Of the leaves which
we do not find in the other species. Others
stand up. for the White leaned Maple (Acer
dasycagpusa,) which differs from the scarlet
chiefly in having pale flowers, and silvery
! under-suriace to the leaves. The. .BlGcE; 1fu-
pie (Aeer aigra1n,) is faEorite with some pei
sons. 1t differs from the rock maple chiefly
in its larger and more leathery leaves; the
bark is also darker. Nor must we failsfo COM
mend the NoraUdy species, which has singular
ly fine foliage, hanging In dark, rich Masses
But for general planting, the old Sugar Manle
stands at the head. Its leaves open early in
the Spring, they are of "a dark, healthy green
in midsummer, and in the Autumn take on
all the rich shades of gold, scarlet and erim-
son.
