aenale co,nmIt.ee ClerE..

" HhELISoy jan ", 1867,
Editors TlteIligeaecr:
The following sweet and truthful
morsel Is copied from the Clarksburr
Conservative of the 18th inst:
To-day, the Senate distinguished it.
SELF by adopting the resolution author
tzinG tho several committees OF the
senate to employ three clerks at three
ooIihrs per day. Under the arlstocratic
government of Old Virginia. yery few,
OF the committees had any clerks. and
We believe none OF the committees of
Congress have more than one. 'Our
thriving new State being II touch above
those vulgar machines, hRI TO have
three clerks for each committee, at AN
expense ot$0,OO II day each. Who cares
the country is rich, and the people pay
the expense"
The editor of the Conservative. who
was so-called "major" in the rebel
army, is hard pressed for a lie when he
manufactures one SO bare-faced Us the
above. There is not a word of truth
IN the extract. The Senate did nothing
OF the kind. It has fourteen standing
committees, and it authorized the APP
Pointment OF three clerks for all the
committees, which would be four and
IL halt committees for each clerk The
exact difference between the truth and
Mhst the rebel major says is this:
Eourteen committees multiplied by
three committee clerks would give ~
clerks, and II clerks multiplied by
$500 would give SS7S.OO. as the daily
expense of the Senate for committee
clerks. The truth is that expense is
Just $500 per day. Therefore the differ
ence is $685. per day. =
''Maior" Cooper had better try again
Suppose he let his readers Know tbe
truth about the matter. But will W.
ger any reasonable sum that he won't
correct this baSe faIsehood. He needs
such hSpocritical stuH to make his
TsaaeTs appropriately "conservativo."
They become radical as thew get liUbt
but all such as Major Cooper 'siove
darkness rather than. lights because his
deeds are evil"
Yours truly, f.

Inhabitants Of the Human

An English authority says

An English authority says
1t is a notorious fact that numerous
parasites do crawl over our surface, burrow
under our skin, nestle in our entrails, and
rot and propagate their species in every
corner of our frame. Nearly a score of
animals belonging to the interior of the
human body have been already discover
ed and described, and scarcely a tissue or
an organ but is occasionally prOfaned by
their inrOads. Each, also, has its favOrite
or its special dOmicile. One species of
strangle chooses the heart for its dwelling
place, another inhahits the arteries, a third
the kidneys. Mpriads of minute worms
lie cOiled up in the voluntary muscles, or
in the arcOla tissues that connect the
deshy fibers. The guinea worm and the
clique bore through the skin and reside
in the adjacent verticular membrane
Hyidatids invest various parts of the body,
but especially the liver and the brain. n
little fluke, in general appearance like a
founder, lives STEPPED in gall in the bill

off your nose what is vulgurly called a

the hair fOllicles-it is ten to one that you
will find in that small sebaciOus cylinder
several animalcUl9, exhibiting under the
microscope a curious and complicated
structure. Even the eye has its living
inmates. With this knowledge Of our
it matters but little how
many entozoe we consume so long as we
do not see them; it is nothing more than
all ages have done before US. We might
with as much propriety refuse to drink
water, which, however pure, is fairly alive
with animalculae, as to refuse to eat meat
because it exhibits (under the microscopy

ChignOns.
The Pail Mall Gazette says =:

The Pail Mall Gazette says:
When did the word chignon come
into French and into English? The
article itself was used in much earlier
days than our own, but then had a
different name. "3Tundus MuIiebris," :"
in 1890, describes the affair exactly ::
Behind the noidle every baggage
Wears bundle ehouz, in English cabbage.
It would be mOnstrOus to say that
all the young ladies who stick knobs
behind their nOddles are baggages,
but we submit that cHOur is the very
word for the said knobs. Only if the
reintrOducer of head cabbages had
called them chOur, what girl would
have worn them? None. Therefore,
let US who want to send chignOns af-
ter crinOlines regularly call these bun
dies cabbages, and they'll succeed
MIR. Fairholt's definition of the ChOUT
is "the great round boss, or bundle
of hair, worn at the back of the head,
and resembling a cabbage, from
whence the French gave it that
name" Gotgrave in 1911, translates
"chignon," "the chyne, or chyne-
peece, of the necke; also, a knot or
kurre in a peece of wood or tymber."
