THE SENATE GALLERIES ON THE 3d." Agate. y
the radical correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette, writing from Washington on the 23d,
says:
In the galleries we have the same full.dress
opera look as heretofore. The seats are comfort
ably flled-not crowded-fye-sixths of the occu.
psnts being ladies'. The diplomatic gallery il
scarcely full. The ladies OF the legations how.
ever, are out in force; more than one supplied
with magazine or novel over which to while
away the tediam of the spectacle and at least
one-a sweet-faced English girl-providently fur.
nlshed with crochet work. through which she
plies her industrious needles. The male attend
ants are mostly the young attaches and secretaries
IN elaborate merning suits and immauulate kids:
tDough oDe can make out the sprightly little
figure OF the Greek minister, and, on the hizhsr
bench, the Marquis de Chambrun. For the rest.
we have the wives and daughters of C0ngressmen.
with their friends, sprinkling of the Washington
society. and few other people of note. Il il 10

audience. One misses Mrs. Senator Wade. who
has gone on visit to Chic. Mrs. Sprague con.

most conspicuous member OF it Is the much noted
Belle BOYD. Just behind her, by some curious
clspensstion. Is seated young Edwin stanton. the
son OF the secretary whose retention has led to

A FATAL SPREE AMONG OFFIcERs.-The Law.
renee (ksnsas) Republican publishes the follow
ing communication
In the winter of 1854 / was stationed at Vicks-
burg, Mississippi. While there the officers were
Idle, and drank, as usual great deal of bad
hquor. One night, when on one of our protracted
sprees, in a hall on Washington street. Captain
Jessup and Captain Sholes thought they would
play william Tell" Shoes measured oil ten
PAGES, planting himself against the WALL telling
Jessup to shoot at tin cup which be placed upon
ms mead. Jessup was known as the best pistol
shot in the regiment, but demonstrated little
against running such great risk of his life, bat
was prevailed upon by Sholes to try his skill He
hred, and just as he pulled the trigger ShoIes
raised up little and the ball penetrated his fore
head, killing him instantly. / knew Jessup for
more than year afterward. He was almost
raying maniac, to think he had killed his best
friend, all for nothing else than having TOO much
whisky aboard.D

named M, whom he had known in
the provincial thesters. He told NJ
B. he came from abroad he had be-
longed TO company whose msnager
had proved bankrupt, and LEFT them in
the deepest misery. NJ. B received
his old acquaintance kindly, procured
him lodgings and meals in a boarding
house, NJ. - guaranteeing the pay
ment of the bill. Moreover, he put him
into relations with several actors, who
did all they cou'd to help him. One day
M entered his benefsetor's lodgings,
and gaily informed him he had con-
tracted q lucrative engagement with q
BRUSSELS theater, had received advances,
and wished to give a breakfast TO several
friends. He gave NJ B. rendezvous,
at 10 O'Clock the next morning, Galerie
d'Orleans, Palsis Royal. NJ. b waited
an hour, M did not come, and he re-
turned home. His porter gave him this
letter as he entered the house "Whst

Szs zsskers Outdone,

A few days since a gentleman. found
himself on the Orleans railway in 8
carriage with six smokers, ell pufflng
away. he said nothing until the train
started, when he drew out OF his pocket e
vial, which he uncorked. Instantly the
carriage was filed with horrible odor,
half ammoniscal and half sulphurous.
Ali the smokers cried: do cork that
vial; you suffooste Us I" He replied:
Beg your pardon, gentlemen, but as
you did not ask my permission when you
lighted your pipes, which suffocate me,
did not think 1t necessary to
TO ask your permission when l
resorted to this antidote against tobacco
smoke" The smokers said nothing for
Ave minutes, when they sii gasped they
reslly were suffocated y 4" If we extin-
guish our pipes, will you cork that vial ? 4"
4" Certainly" The pipes we're at once
put out. ..

Rev. NJ Breck, OF Delaware, animRd-
had been gotten up in New York, and
sown broadcast throughout the country,
aad slgned by many persons without
fully cOmprehending their Importance.
Rev. s. 2. Tying, Jr., was present on
the floor OF the convention in earnest
consultation with several delegates.
Rev. Or. Adsnle, of Wisconsin, took
the floor on the subject Of the canon pro-
posed by Judge Cunningham. He said
when the question was detailed, the
house wanted to debate the matter with
all due regard for the distinctive rites Of
both the law and high church branch
OF the EpiscOpslian Church. The me-
MORALS and the proposed amendment to
the canon were referred to the Commit
tee on Csnons.
Rev. James A. Harold offered another
resolution instructiDg the Committee on
CanODs to consider the subject of q de-
psrture from the established usage By
emitting any portion of the services al
ready prescribed. L sferred.
The Rev. DR.. Cowper Meade, of Con-
necticut, got the floor and moved:
WHEREAS, The restoration of the
unity OF the Church Is an object of vast
Importance, as without unity it will be
impossible for her perfectly to fulfill her
mission TO the world; and,
WHEREAS, Ia the opinion OF many
the signs of the times Indicate there is y
strong and increasing tendency among
the churches of the various denomina-
tions OF Christians in ChristeDdom, to
see such unity restored therefore
ReseiUcd, That the House OF Bishops
