Grave Senatorial Proceedings.
sEDss STATEsMAN--I came into posses
sion to-day Of what John Paul would de-
nominate q ''recondite joke" upon mem
Der OF the House of Representatives. Y ou
will remember that on the 9Th inst, at IL
O'clock, forenoon, both branches of the
Legislature adjourned over the 9th. In the
afternoon, q number of the friends and
constituents Of the member referred to.
were in the city, the most OF them for the
first time, and, of course, were desirous of
investigating the mysteries of the State
House. In response to the interrogatory
whether the Senate was in session. the
member, laboring under that Impression,
replied in the affirmative. Whereupon he
led the way to the Senate Chamber. His
impressions were at first the same as his
friends, that the Senate was in session, al
though the 'sphix'' of the presiding '.ossi-
fer, !" as well as the most of the ssgrave and
reverends." was decidedly unfamiliar
After listening moment, Mr.. - discOv-
cred his mistake, but kept his own coun-
sci. The Wool Growers Association was
In session in the chamber at the time. and
some very dignified and venerable sheep
raiser was discussing the foot-rot, and the
most approved. style Of curing it; how
there should be lime and acetate of lead,
and sundry other medicaments used, as
we'll as to keep the patients on short pas
ture during the treatment, No sooner had
he taken his seat, than dapper little fel-
low took the floor, and dissented most de-
cidedly from the gentlelnau's conclusion,
and entered into general and detailed ac-
count of the probable causes and Inevitable
results of the foot-rot, and the necessity of
a general aud Immediate siadghterof the
tainted innocents, in which views he was
by a number Of very -determin-
ed looking gentlemen. Mr.. --'s con-
stituents did not relish such high handed
proceedings on the part of the Sem

erously anxious to organize a Cruz

rural constituents, and sig
nifying desire TO ascend to- the dome of
the Capitol, their ''member'' was only too
glad to lead them from the Wool Growers
Convention, which his friends firmly be-
lieve to this day to have been the Senate
Of Ohio engaged in high handed usurpa-
tions unworthy its dignity. t..-..,,. ~. III

me the joke Il over Something mildly

asmuch as his constituents did not know
that, he had uuwittingly made a mistake
when he took them to the Senate Chamber.

2 MoNEY GETTING Some people think
that It Is necessary, to be mean and miser-
~ in order to become wealthy. There
never was greater mistake. Amy man of
common Intelligence may be prosperous if
he chooses to labor diligently and faith
fully in a calling which he thoroughly un-
derstands.: OF course, prudence is indis-
pensable to success prudence, mind, not
niggardly meanpess. The man, who COM
withlittIe or nothing, has resolv-
ed to iise, must also resolve to sacrifice
nothing to appearance, He cannot gain
Dne true friend, nor obtain any popularity
that will be really useful to him in his eff
forts to achieve independence, by endeav-
oring to seem to have that which he has
not. The world is shrewder than Preten-
sion supposes It to be. 1t is curious world
looks sharply into peoples private affairs,
and If an Individual makes show beyond
his means, soon discovers and distrusts
him. No one who has fortune to make,
or who desires to receive even a moder ate
can afford to incur the worlds
distrust. Therefore, if you are at the foot
Of the ladder and want to mount 60 up in
your workday guise, and don't affect pur-
pie and fine linen. n f.7.s..sy,g.,.e ..,sis.4
