SENATOR NYE OF NRvADA.-One Of the great
requisites of Congressional influence is the
gift of repartee Unless a member or Senator
is ready with retort, and has the happy
faculty for extemporaneous debate, he stands
no chance of coping with his fellows. The
success of nearly all our parliamentary giants
is due to the bitter witticisms and appropriate
responses which they always have ready. One
of the youngest, and at the same time most
influential members of the United States
Senate is Hon. James w. Nye, of Nevada. His
tongue is two-edged sword, and when he
once gets on his feet he sweeps everything be-
fore him. AS an instance of what may be
considered retorts worthy even of John Ran
dolph, we quote from the debate of yesterday
on the subject of oOnfrmations:A
Mr.. Nye spoke at length defending the recent
rejection of able Generals for political reasons.
Mr. Dooittle inquired why some were con-
hrmed and others rejected =?
Mr.. Nye replied that the question was asked
centuries ago, Why one was taken and another
left ? and IL had never been answered. He
would say to the Senator that those confirmed
were In luck, and those rejected were not In
luck.
Mr. Doolittle inquired why the majority con-
hrmed the Generals, and took off the heads of
the little ones?
Mr. Nye replied the soldiers mostly are killed
In battles, not the Generals.
Such points as these, thrown off in a running
debate, and evidently impromptu, show
powers of repartee which will yet place the
Nevada Senator in the first rank of our Con-
gressonal leaders.

The Adjournment of the Senate.

The Adjournment of the Senate.
WE'RE it not that the debate in'Athe Senate on
the motion to adjourn on Tuesday next deve-
loped the fact that the resolution had no real
meaning, we should be most emphatically
opposed to its adoption. The explanations
given by the Senators who voted in the afir-
native prove however, that in fixing the ter
mination of the session, they do not mean to
indicate that the session will terminate on that
day. II would seem that the only object in
the action of that body is to hurry up the
nominations which are to be sent in. AS,
however, the President can read the debates
as well as any citizen, and can see that If he
refuses to hurry, the session will con-
tinue, we cannot see clearly what good is to
come from the adoption of the day. We no ID
that in the present crisis of the country it is
the duty of the Senate to continue in session
until all its duty be performed, and that duty
consists in rejecting every nominee for office
who is not stern radical. tits clearly wrong
for them to pass the Tenure of Office bill,
and then adjourn, and leave some Of the
Offices vacant, to the detriment of the revenue.
In passing that bill they have assumed re-
sponsibility. and ii would be cowardice to
shirk IL in order to return few weeks earlier
TO the quiet Of private life.

1t is the vital principle of the Pine Tree OBJ
tanned by peculiar process in the distillation
of the tar, by which its highest medical proper
ties are retained.
1t is the only safe and reliable remedy which
has ever been prepared from the juice Of the
Pine Tree.
1t invigorates the digestive organs and re.
stores the appetite
1t strengthens the debilitated system
1t tpurihes and enriches the blood and expels
from the system the corruption which scrorula
breeds on the lungs.
1t dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops
the air passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating 10
each diseased part, relieving pain and subduing
Inflammation.
II is the result of years of study and expert
ment, and it is offered to the afflicted with the
positive assurance of its power TO cure, If the
patient has not too long delayed resort TO the
means Of cure,

ture In the United States.

Louisa Muhlbach, the celebrated
German novelist, intends ma king a
lecturing tour through the United
States. She win be accompanied on
the occasion by her younger dangh=
ter, girl Of fourteen. Her elder
daughter, very pretty young lady OF
=eighteen, is an actress In the Royal
Theatre of Cassel. Louisa Muhlbach,
or rather Clara Mundt, the former
name being her nom de pl1nae,is now
fifty-three years old, and a lady OF
considerable ensbonpoiRt. In 1867 the
King of Prussia presented her with
the large gold medal usually given to
authors and artists of the highest
merit. He did so. doubtless, to ex-
press his satisfaction at the beautiful
monuments which Louisa Mulhbach
had erected in her works to the men,
ory of his mother, Queen Louisa of
Prussia. The King told Mrs. Mundt
on giving her the medal, which was
fxed in a handsome gold bracelet, he
hoped she would wear it on all festive
occasions When the authoress of
Louisa of Prussia" and Fred
erick the Great and his Court, tried
to put on the bracelet, she found it
was too small for her arm.

A letter gives the following details
of the assassination of Lopez, who
betrayed Maximilian: aaad MAJ &
arrived here to-day, and, learned
the startling news of the assassipation
of the traitor Lopez. The particu-
lars of the assassination are as fol-
lows: Lopez was standiag at ? hotel
in Puebla, where his wife spurned
him from her presence. Early one
morning a Mexican arrived, and
familiarIzed himself with an ostler in
livery stable adjoining the hotel.
Gen. Miguel Lopez was inquired for,
but, not being in. the stranger was
told that the General would be at
dinner. Before the dinner hour
Lopez returned, and was pointed out
to the stranger, who made special
note of his man. When dinner was
called Lopez and his assassin occu
pied opposite seats at the table; after
some minutes, during which time the
stranger called for aud drank glass
of wine, he deliberately rose, drew a
concealed knife. and sprang upon
Lopez, and stabbed him nine times.
The stranger then took his hat. and
as he started to leave. said: This
is the way all traitors should be paid" !
No one interfered or prevented the
from leaving.

Two years ago this place inherited

THE OLD ARM CHAIR. - The
American rocking chair is physiolog-
ically an abomination, but certainly a
comfortable thing to have in the
house." Here is what Henry Ward
Beecher says about it in = Norwood"
But if once you sat down in il, the
illusory notion of luxury vanished.
1t was wooden throughout. Only if
some one was sick in the house was
there cushion in it. Its joints by
long use had formed complaining
habit, and you might in any part. of
the house know whether the rocking
chair was in active use. We are
obliged to say that it was q treacher-
GUS chair. The rockers had been
curved to such lines, that if you ven
tured beyond very gentle motion the
chair would give a backward lurch, as
if going over, and there are few things
more unsatisfactory to a sober minded
person, careful of appearances, than
to be carried over backward in the
midst of quiet conversation. 1t is
true that the chair never did go over
The shape of the rocker was such
that when the victim had spread his
arms and flirted his legs into the air,
in an involuntary effort at equilibrium,
the chair stopped and set itself firmly,
as if it had been blocked, returning
again to its normal state only upon a
violent effort Of its occupant. The
neighbors were aware of this propen-
sity and avoided the chair. Strangers
usually had an experience with it.

hundredth time, reassuring them

The SANDWICH IsLANDs.-A San
Francisco paper, in speaking of the
reported Negotiations for the acouisi-
ton Of the Sandwich Island. by the
United States. makes these int resting
statements IL regard to the CONNER
cial value and importance ,of the is
lands "a
The latest data at hand show that
there are thirty three sugar planta-
tlons at theislands, involving capt.
tai OF 100000. and monthly out
lay of aboat $50,000.a The gield of
rice last year was shout one million
pounds; Of cotton, eighty thousand
pounds. The orange crop was a par
tial failura, and only about two hun
dred and City thousand oranges were
exported. The coffee crop. on ac-
count of q blight, was also light. ufk
The imports in 1866 were of the
value OF 81 ,993, ,821,s an increase of
1850 OYER the previous year. The
heaglest TEN was cotton goods, valued
at $z37. .0VOb OF these imports, $753,
GzzfTere from the United States. And
1t may Pc noted that, with all the
drawbacks mentioned, the trade of
the Islands has been increasing with
TINS country. while Eitfhas fallen koff
with other countries. 81 in s9ns.izD
8, We know of no new exigency in
the affairs of the Islands which make
the suocess of these negotiations "a
foregone conclusion. But thestime is
coming when some change, such as
has beensuggested, will be inevitable.
The future has no doubt been fore
cast and it may be that this is the
most favorable juncture for such a
movement. The Islands are the West
Indies of the Pacific coast. IF they
should come underE our jurisdiction
by purchase. a new and prosperous
State would soon be added to the
Union.'' xEssas1 .SS~ 'NSTT
