The Senate on Combinations.

Speaking of the treatment Of appoint
ments, "by and with the advice of the
Senate" the New York Times says:
1.-THE Senate seems to have neither prin.
ciple, consistency or system of any kind in
its action. The first point aimed at seems
to be to let every Senator crafty any per-
sonal spite he may have against any nomi-
nee; and the next is to let them all crafty
their general spite against the President.
Their first impulse always is to reject any
man whom the President may nominate, and
generally they do it,"

debility. The blood taken from the animal
is received in cup, and treated to the tenn
peraturc Of sand bath. The patient, after
swallowing It, may take spoonful Of cherry
brandy or sherry wine. Another writer says
that he has often directed, in cases Of dia
betes and great exhaustion ofthe system, the
blood Of a calf to be taken at the moment OIL
its escape from the bleeding animal, and also
chickens blood of the same warmth; or after
it has coagulated it may be cooked with
broth and favored with salt and spices.
