TACT AND TALENT.-Talenti is something,
but tact is everything. Talent is serious, so
Der, grave and respectable tact is all that
and more too. 1t is not sixth sense, but it
is the life of all the FIVE. 1t is the open eye,
the quick ear, the judging taste, the keen
smell, and the, lively touch it is the inter;
prefer of al riddles-the surmounter. of all
dificulties-the remover of all obstacles. 1t
is useful in all places, aid at all times it is
useful in solitude, for it shows man into
the world it is useful in society, for it shows
him the way through the world. Talent is
power-tact is skill talent is weight-tact
is momentum talent knows what to do
tact knows how to do it; talent makes a rrsn
respectable-tact will make him respected
talent is wealth-tact is ready money. For
all practical purposes of life, tact carries it
against talent-ten to one.

A Few woRDs ON soUrEzIINa.-WhiIe

A Few WORDS ON SoUEEzING.-While
were are growing very sensible indeed in the
matter of dress, as far as boots, balmoral
skirts warm stockings and high necks, we
are degenerating in some other matters quite
as important. The corset is now necessary
part of a woman's wardrobe; and, alas I
when woman does begin to wear corsets,
she will wear them too small, and will tug
at the laces till her breath becomes short,
and feels it necessary to refrain from any
thing like acomfortable meal. We say moth
ing against a well-shaped corset worn loose,
but there lies the difficulty A loose corset
Injuries the appearance of the figure, instead
of improving it, and people wear corsets that
they may have small waists. All we can say
is, don't squeeze, whatever you do, you may
have small wists, but you are exposing your
self to dozen misfortunes which are as bad
as large waist. First, you'll surely have
dyspepsia and grow yellow and cross and
unhappy secondly, your hands will grow
red thirdly, your nose fourthly, you win
be unable to walk mile at once /; filthy,
dinner will be misery sixthly, your should
er blades will increase iri size and altitude
seventhly, your eyes viii grow weak; eighth
ly, you will break down at thirty or there
abouts, and be sickly old woman from that
time forth. If these truths do not frighten
women from tight corsets, perhaps the in
formation that gentlemen generally do not
admire what dressmakers call a ''pretty fig
ure" SO much as natural one, may have
some influence.

HOUSE.
WAsE1Serox, January 26.-Fhe HOUSE
resumed the consideration of the copstitu-
tional amendment.
Mr HARDING, of Kentucky, said that
the country had labored under the delusion
inst when slavery was abolished all cause
of strife and dissension would be removed
from it. He said that slavery was the
cause of the rebellion, although slavery was
abolished the negro came back with re-
doubled force. The Republican party had
manufactured large amount OF capital out
of the negro question, and they were still
drawing upon 1t. The fact that the question
had continued so long showed with what
care the Republican party had managed 1t.
This was the first time that political party
had undertaken TO engratt upon the Constl-
tuition of this country their own po-
liticaI dogmas, including negro suffrage

claiming that the white is a superior race,
he opposed the efforts to give the black man
a share of the Government.
Mr.. KELLY, of Pennsylvania, said, as
the gentleman charged that the laborers
whom he called negroes, have been seduced
from the border States, he wished to ask
whether their relations were not still there
in great numbers after taking out every
negro of Kentucky. =,
Mr. HARDING replied that the gentle

! than to the negro.
l Mr.. MCKEE, of Kentucky, held that a

bv those who were opposed to levying wal

troops to crush treason. Those who were i
1ayor of amending the Constitution wer

usurpation, because Representatives froI

A colloquy took place between Grider an

sentatives were not admitted?
Mr. MCKEE replied that ifpeace did ez

there should be any objection to the eonst

Mr.. STEWART said he held that the
condition of the freedmen and loyalists was
no reason for keeping the South out Of the
Union, because Congress had full power to
protect these people. There was bill now
pending for that purpose. He was IN iavor
of the measure and was in favor of the
Freedmen's bill passed yesterday. Hewsuld
say to the Democrats that they were re-
tarding reconstruction by opposition to such
measures as passed yesterday.
Mr.. SALISBURY interrupted Mr.. Ste
wart to say that he did not know a Dems-
crat in the whole length and breath Of the
land who believed in the terms Of recon-
struction.
Mr.. TRUMBULL called up the bill to
protect all persons in their civil rights and
furnish means for their Vindieation.
Mr.. McD0UGALL obtained the floor, but
gave way to Mr.. Trumbull, who moved an
executive session.
The Senate soon after adjourned.
