A contest was made in regard to w. J.
Cowing, the representative from Virginia.
1t was shown, however, that he was APP
pointed by the late National Convention,
had attended all the meetings of the COM

appointed by any less authority than a

A motion was made by Governor Ward,
chairman, to change the name from Ma.
tional Republican to National Union Con-
vention. This proposition was opposed BY
Horace Greeley, who said that change Of
name would operate disastrously to the
party. 1t was understood to have elnana-

BARRIERS will have to look out for their bus
mess, as the inroads machinery is making are
rapid The adaptation of machinery to the
act of brushing hair was chronicled some
time since, but Dublin barber has improved
on the idea SO far, that he has machine in
operation for cutting hair. A notice of the
working of the machine declares that the
sensations produced by its revolutions
around the head are said to be very agreea-
ble We think, however, that to nervous
person the apprehensions for the safety of
the ears and nose would be anything but
agreeable, notwithstanding the fact, an
nounced by the inventor, that /" the operator,
by turning screw, can adjust the cutting
blade SO as to take off just the quantity Of
hair desired"

A CENTENARIAN AND COMPANION OF THE
POET BURNs.-It may not he generally
known, says the Ardrossan Herald, that there
lives at Whiting bay, Island of Arran, CEN
tenarian who was companion of Robert
Burns. His name Is Ebenezer Baillie, and
he is native of Dalrymple, near Ayr. He
was bern 7th May 1857, thus making him
one hundred years and FIVE months Old
When boy was at school and slept in the
same bed with the poet; his brother tailor
also made clothes for him, and the two
amused themselves writing verses together.
Ebenezer came to Arran eighty years ago as
weaver, but farined little. and in sum-
mer employed himself at the herring fishing.
He worked at the weaving till he was nine
ty yeras of age. For the last six years he has
mostly been confined to bed, but the other

Senator Drake of Missouri has published
an able vindication of Radicalisni, in the
form of letter to the Hon. Reverdy John
son, reviewing the relations of the conquer
ed States to the Federal government, and
showing both the justice and the expediency
of the plan adopted by Congress for their
restoration. At the close he offers this cold
comfort to the Democrats who are rejoicing
over the result of the recent elections:
"The net Democratic gain in the recent
elections, so far as national politics are con-
cerned, is one United States Senator. At
this rate, with but eleven Democrats and
Johnsonites now in the Senate to start with,
how many years will it take to overthrow
the Republican ascendency there9 More.

time, what becomes of reconstruction It
marches straight on to completion under the
acts of Congress as they are, negro suffrage
and all. There is not a Republican Senator
who would dare-even if be wished to
vote for their repeal or for any retrograde
movement from the positions they have ta
ken in them. The recent elections, there
fore, have no solid comfort for you, nor do

anywhere. Men who stand up for principle
as they do, are not dismayed or disconnected
by casual and temporary reverses, but rather
spurred to more resolute battle for the right y

The Stepmother of Abraham Lincoln still
lives near Pennington, Coles County, Illinois,
in a onestory log cabin containing two
rooms. Aunt Sally Lincoln, as the villagers
call her, is now eighty years old, and very
feeble. Sheis a plain unsophisticated old la
day with frank, open countenance, a warm
heart, full of kindness towards Others, tall
and slender and in many respects, very
much like the President enough so to be
his own mother. And as he was but nine
years OF age at the time of her marriage
with his father, it is not improbable that she
had much to do in forming his character.-
She still speaks Of Abraham as her a good
boy" and praises his obedience. She saws
Abraham and his stepmother never quarrel
led but once, and that you know, is . good

is rudely carved only the enitials :. T. L." 9

At German weddings they have basket
of blossoms in which two sprigs of myrtle
are hidden. The two hands which find
these sprigs are to join in the next marriage
