In beth branches Of the Legislature there 10
. good working Democratic majority. This
decides the fate Of Ben. Wade. He goes 10
the U. s. Senate no more. This, also, de-
tcfmines the important fact that George b.

seat. That is indeed glorious eonsuHma

neghbor, and wish we could sympathizs
with him, but alas! such gross material
natures ~ ours can't aspire 10 such heights
as.true sympathy with him. We can only
consider how he must suffer in that finely
strung organic stior Of his. All!
We eanaot believe that Mr.. Parker knew
that our dear neighbor was present on the
unfortunate occasion 90 often referred to,

not only proverbial but patent; one needs

he is 90 modest that his necessary contac,
