President Benjamin Wade, Vice Andrew
acknowledgements TO Provide Him
Cabinet.
1t seems to be settled that Acdrew Johnson's
trial for impeachment is to be pushed through
to conclusion-that he intends to fight 1t out,
having no notion of Withdrawing from she
field in the face Of the enemy. 1t appears,
moreover, that q venerable law Of Congress
on the subject forbids his resignation after his
impeachment but still, II against the tribunal
before which he is to be tried Mr.. Johnson
were to send in his protest and resignation, on
the ground that said tribunal has already pro-
nounced Judgment in his case, there can be no
doubt that Senate and House would drop the
prosecution, and be thankful for getting rid Of
him 30 cheaply. He would thus be free to
take the field against them in the Presidential
canvass, and his name and his cause would be
a tower of strength to all the opposition ele-
ments Of the country. But as the accused is
understood to have determined upon fighting
the enemy in their stronghold, instead of
fighting them in the field before the people, the
argument may be dropped
Meantime, the prospect that "Old Ben
Wade," President pro tenn. of the Senate, may
become President Of the United States for
month or two, has started among the hungry and
aspiring managers Of the radical camp some
thing like scramble for the honors and emolu-
ments of the Cabinet. We understand upon
this head that if "Old Thad Stevens" had the
physical strength required he would probably
be put at the head of the Treasury that the
friends of Horace Greeley are drumming in his
behalf for the Post Office Department; that
ment of the Interior that Senator Anthony,
who has seen good deal Of "life on the ocean
wave" at Newport, is up for the Navy, but
that Marshal o. Roberts. Of New York, is more
likely to get it; that General Ben Butler, on
the strength Of his military achievements at
Big Bethel, Dutch Gap, Fort Fisher, and in
that famous bottle in which he was corked up
at Bermuda Hundred, aspires to the place Of
Stanton in the War Office, "by and with the
advice and consent Of the Senate !" and that
Bingham, Boutwell,, Chandler and a host OF
others, in and out of Congress, are snuffng
about for the fat places under the approa ching
radical dispensation of Old Mr.. Wade. Sumner
will probably be his Secretary Of State, and
that extraordinary man in jurisprudence, John
Underwood, of Virginia, may turn up as the
Attorney General. But these are visions and
calculations somewhat after the fashion of
those of the maid of the milking pail, and in
the same way they may all be spoiled. There
is high authority for the opinion that these
hungry patriots cannot cook their rabbit
before they catch him.

Chief Justice Chase ON the Impeachment.
The Senate was yesterday morning startled
httle by communication from Chief
Justice Chase, giving his opinions as to the
mode OF procedure in the organization of the
Senate for the trial OF President johnson.
The organization, he thinks, must be that Of a
court, and that the court should be organized
under its own rules as a court, before the pre-
sentation formally of the articles Of impeach-
ment from the House, and that the President
should be summoned to appear by an order Of
the court. The letter was referred to the select
committee from which the rules already
adopted by the Senate had been reported.
ham, the House Of Representatives, as COM
mittee of the whole, with its committee Of
managers in front and officiating, proceeded to
the Senate and presented the articles Of i'm
parchment as passed by the House, so that we
conclude the suggestions of the Chief Justice
came in too late. The Senate, therefore, not
as court, but as the Senate with the Chief
Justice presiding, will conduct this trial.
The constitution says" The Senate shall
have the sole power to try all impeach-
ments. When sitting for that purpose
they shall be on oath or affirmation. When
the President Of the United States is tried the
Chief Justice shall preside, and no person shall
be convicted without the concurrence Of two
thTds of the members present" The rules,
thea, for the conduct Of this trial are left to
the Senate, and the Senate in this case having
previously determined not to be subjected to
the rules of criminal court the Chief Justice
will have to submit Had he been day or
two earlier he might have gained his point,
and some advantages to the accused in larger
privileges Of argument

HoNoRs TO ONE OF THE RorHscHrLDs.-The
advent of Disraeli to power seems to be exer-
cising @ reflex influence on his countrymen.
Disraeli, though Christian, is yet in many
respects in perfect sympathy with the outcast
descendants Of the house of Israel 1t is
therefore noteworthy circumstance that at
this particular time, when converted Jew has
become the Premier of Great Britain, an un-
converted Jew should be singled out for royal
favor It is no doubt Disrael's doings for he
is now, in virtue Of his position, the principal
adviser of her Majesty. 1t will be strange
will 1t MOTTO see a Jew, an unconverted
Jew, in the English House Of Lords. What
will the Peers Of England say to such o revo-
luton? What will say my Lord of Canterbury
and the rest Of the Bench Of Bishops? Disraeli,
we fear, will be found a dangerous friend and
protector to the exclusive orders in English
society. Mephistophelcs is dangerous neigh
bor.

A Coop BnLI--Mr. Quinn's bill to prevent
distractions to travel by displacement Of the
snow on railroad tracks in New York city was
ordered to third reading in the Assembly on
Tuesday. II is good bill. The suppression
Of this formidable evil of street distractions is
already the object Of laws which need only to
be rigidly enforced to be as efficient as they
are good. But Mr.. Quinn's bill has this
peculiar advantage, that the Street Commis-
soner is specially authorized and directed by
it, for the purpose Of carrying out its pro-
visions, to appoint suitable person, who shall
be known as Superintendent of Railroads. 1t
is possible, indeed, that Street Commissioner
and Superintendent Of Railroads may both
be as neglectful Of their duties as q New York
Street Commissioner alone Is traditionally held
to be. In that case two instead of one would
be paid for leaving undonc what they ought to
do Nevertheless, the chances would be twice
as favorable for the work being done. There
really can be no reason why the streets Of New
York should not bo as promptly and as thor
oughly cleanscd, even in the sevcrest winter
weather, as those of Paris and St Petersburg.

PooR KING GEORGE OF HANovER.-C cunt
Bismarck goes on with his work. A despatch
from Berlin informs US that instructions have
been given to coufscate the estates Of George,
ex-King OF Hanover. When we remember that
these estates have, since the days of the First
George up until The time OF Victoria, belonged
to The reigning family of England, we are ena-
bled to understand how bold and decided Is
the present policy Of Prussia. The house Of
Brunswick has been proud in its day. The
house of Brandenburg, in destroying it, is only,
consciously or unconsciously, the agent of de-
mocracy. The master which II now serves viii
destroy 1t in turn. The English government
knows this and wisely keeps silence.

sounding words which moved MIN because
they were unintelligible. The following
is an illustration of how much mystery
has to do with producing an effect:
An "ould counthryman, Tom Douo-

Murphy, heard the doctors talking OF

Committing the Scriptures to Memory.

When James Brainerd Taylor was pur-
suing his studies preparatory to entering
the University, he made it rule to COM
NIT some portion of the Scriptures to
memory every night before retiring to
rest. When he was examined for hcen-
sure, one who was present said of him,
Il never heard any man quote the sacred
Scriptures with such huency, for the con-
frmation of his doctrinal views, as the
questions were successfully proposed to
him"
When he came to die, the precious
truths of the Bible, long before committed
to memory, came forth, and stood about
him as old friends and welcome comfort
ers. They spoke to his fainting soul
and gave him refreshment and strength,
when human help and solace were vain.
When suffering acute pains, the repetition
or remembrance of these precious words
quoted his spirit, and gave him strength
to endure. And when human speech
could no longer reach his ear, and the
voice of love had lost its charm, these
faithful and true sayings did not lose
their power; but to the very last, the
Word of God was his shield and buckler,
making him stronger than the strong man
armed, and giving him the victory over
death and the grave. 1t has been the
practice of many of the saints of. God to
commit daily some passage of the Scrip
lures. We wish it could be said of all.
Nothing so quickly and so easily fur
nishes the Christian unto every good
work, and arms him so thoroughly for
his conflicts with sin and the world. A
memory richly stored with the thoughts
of God and themes of revelation, and
heart filed with the spirit aud power of
heavenly truth, will prove the surest de-
fence against evil, and the richest source
of comfort in the day of temptation and
trial, and in the hour of death.

Where are my Father and Mother.

A few years ago, in one of the beauti-
full islands of Micronesia, young girl
was sitting at the feet of a missionary.
A little time before that she was a wild,
rude creature. as all the heather children
around her were; wearing almost no
clothes, and likely to grow up corrupt
and vicious woman, like the other natives
of the island. But the missionaries who
had come there to live had taken her in
to their family. There she had learned
some thing about God, and she tried to
pray to Him. She had put on American
clothes, and at the time of which. | speak,
she was helping the Missionary to turn
the Gospel of Mark into the language
of the islanders. At last they came to
passage which said something about
believing in Christ. She stopped mo-
ment, seemed to be thinking very hard
about something, and then looked up into
her teachers face and said: Missionary,
what is it to believe in Jesus?" He had
tried to explain it to her before, and now
he tried again. At last she seemed to
understand it, and to receive it into her
heart as if it were meant for her. But
Just as she was beginning to feel glad
that Jesus had forgiven her sins and was
her Saviour, very sad thought came to
her, and she looked up into the teacher 5
face again and said; Missionary, where
are my father and mother? Why did
YOU not come and tell US this before 2"
Her father and mother had died before
the missionary came, without ever hear
ing of Jesus or the way of salvation.-
Then l felt, said the missionary, ''as
the tears rolled down my cheeks, that If
could only speak to the Christians and
the Sabbath Schools of my own native
land, would tell them to make haste
and send out missionaries as fast as they
could: for thousands and millions of
heather fathers and mothers, and boys
and girls too are passing away every
year without so much as knowing that
Jesus died to save them"

Philosophy of Health.

'Bread and BUTTER are the only articles of
food of which We never tire for day, from early
childhood to extreme old age. pound of
finely sifted Indian corn meal contains three
times as much meat as one pound of butchers
roast beef and if the whole product of the grain,
bran and all, were made into bread, fifteen per
cent. more of nutriment would be added. I'm.
fortunately the bran, the coarsest part is thrown
away; the very part which gives soundness to
the teeth, and strength to the bones, and vigor
to the brain. Five hundred pounds of fine -four
give to the body thirty pounds of the bony ele
ment; while the same quantity of bran gives one
hundred and twenty-five pounds! This bone is
cline" the phosphate lime, the indispensable
element of health to the whole human body,
from the want of the natural supply of which
multitudes of persons go into a general de-
cline
But swallowing "phosphates" in the shape of
powders or in syrups, to cure these "declines,"
has little or no virtue. The articles contained
in these ''phosphates'' must pass through ma

ula;ions, in alembics specially prepared by Al
mighty power and skill in order to inpart their
peculiar virtues TO the human frame. In palmer
phrase, the shortest, safest, and most infallible
method of giving strength to the body, bone, and
brain, thereby arresting disease, and building up
the constitution, is to eat and digest more bread
made out Of the whole grain, whether of wheat,
corn, rye, or oats. But we must get an appetite
for eating more, and power of digesting more
Not by the artificial and lazy method of drinking
bitters and taking tonics, but by moderate, con-
tinued, and remunerative muscular exercise in
the open air every day, rain or shine.
And that we may eat the more of it, the bread
must be good and cheap and healthful; and that
which combines these three qualities to greater
extent than any other known on the face of the
globe so far as we know, is made thus: To two
quarts of Indian corn meal add one pint of
bread sponge; water sufficient to wet the whole
add one half pint of -four and a teaspoonful of
salt. Let it rise, then knead well, unsparingy

Cure for a Cold in the Head.

DR.. Paillon, of France, announces what
he considers to be new method of cur
ing a cold in the head. 1t consists in
inbaling through the nose the emanations
of ammonia contained in smelling bot
tie. If the sense of smell is completely
obliterated, the bottle should be kept un-
der the nose until the pungency of the
volatile alkali is felt. The bottle is then
removed, but only to be re-applied after
a minute; the second application, how
ever, should not be long, that the patient
may bear it. This easy operation being
repeated seven or eight times in the
course of five minutes, but always very
rapidly, except the first time, the noStrlls
become free, the sense Of smell is re-
stored, and the secretion of the irritating
mucus is stopped. This remedy is said
to be peculiarly advantageous to singers.
