ONLY DROP.

Inly drop on a woman's cheek
Told the depth of sorrow there,
My drop in fathers eye
Showed his parental care;
|nly drop as dear friends part.
And they brush it quickly aside;
MY drop, but they think of it oft,
As down life's streams they glide.
|nly drop from the cloudy sky
Our thirst will oft allay;
hly q drop as we journey home
VIII stop us oft on our way;
bly, a drop in the sea of life
will turn our hearts above;
nd we all are drops in Eternity,
Filling the Ocean of Love.

From WashInGtoR.

WASHINGTON, July s.-The Senate Com
mittee on Claims has reported in favor of
allowing o. H. Cutler, of Hannibal, Ms
souri,, $4,000 for cotton belonging to him
and seized by General Grant at Lake ProVi-
dence, Louisiana, in 1868, to be used in pro-
tecting boats that ran the blockade at Vicks-
burg. Cutler asked for $4,000.
The bill providing for the elections in
Virginia, which passed the House unani-
mously this afternoon, was rendered neces.
sary, because the time fixed by the late con-
yention has gone by. The days fixed are
the twelfth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of next
month. General Stoneman and the Secre-
tary of War, as well as General Grant, had
recommended that provision be made for a
separate vote on the stringent test oath in
the new constitution, but the Reconsidera-
ton Committee did not see fit to adopt the
suggestion. An effort will be made By the
Senate to put this provision in the BILL
WAsHIEGroN, July 9.-The scene in the
Senate late this afternoon, when Reyerdy
johnson resigned, and took his leave pre-
paratory to sailing for England, was quite
touching. His last act was to carry through
bill giving $1,000 for repairing Mount YER
non, He was so much affected when he
rose to say farewell; that his colleague took
the words and read them, after which SEN
ators generally gathered around Mr.. John
son and bade him good bye.
Both Houses have passed bill appropria-
ting S47, 900 to settle up the accounts Of the
late Isaac Newton, head of the Agriculture
Bureau. He had bought seeds to this
amount in excess of his appropriation, and
one or two business firms would have been
ruined but fer the passage of this bill.

The Pre-ident comp aims to personal

There is no doubt in well informed circles
that the President discourages the third

Seymour and Blair-in his own way, now
