This infant now makes several

not seem to know what play means.
Her whole Thoughts are centered in

DIDN'T SERvE.-A certain Mobile
deputy is decidedly unsophisticated.
The other day he was out looking
up a jury, and came across a geutle-
man who is noted for his love OF
joking. Stopping him on the street,
he drew out his list and said: "Mr.
-, I want you to be at the court
room tomorrow to serve on special
jury"
Our friend, who has decided
disinclination to ofiiciate in that ca
pacity, drew himself up stiffly, aud
III the most dignitied mar Ter said:
care you aware, sir, thlt am
Son of Malta. ?"
The deputy with au affrightetl
look, replied:
No, sir, was not. That excuses
you, doesn't it?"
"Well," replied our friend, in the
same digniied manner, "you can
draw your own inference about that,
SIR" i.
The deputy replied: "That's all
right, sir" aud scratched our friends
name offthe list, and passed on, great
" to his relief and amusement.

THE CHOICE OF COLoRs IN DIRE

THE CHOICE OF COLoRs IN DRESS.
1T is singular but well-authenti-
Gated fact tina. one can secure great
degree Of bodily comfort, by judg-
ment in selecting the coIors Of their
clothes. Fabrics of a dark color are
notoriously more dangerous than
light ones. Black attracts more heat
than any other hue, and it has been
found by actual experiment to absorb
noxious vapors aud odors with more
avidity than any other color. Thus
physicians, who usually dress in
black, have frequently been the
mcans of spreading disease from the
rapidity with which their clothing
absorbs the dangerous exhalasions u
them. In times Of sicikaesA asd

Coal IN AMERICA.-On the author
ity of Professor II. d. Rogers, the
Illinois coal field is stated to contain
1877, 500, ,O00.0O tons. The Penn
sylvania coal-ticld contains 316, ,400,-
100000 tons. All the coal-tields of
North America 100000, 900, 900
tons. The coal-felds of Great Brit
ain contain 190.00O,000,00O tons.
The Illinois coal-telds, then, contain
four times as much as those of Penn
sylvania; nearly onc-third as much
as all those of North America and
over six times as much as the coal
fields Of Great Britain.-New York

ROLLER SKATINd.-This is an
amusement which is becoming..''all
the rage in many portions OF the
West. The skates have four small
wheels instead of runners, and are
wood instead of rubber. Persons
who have learned upon the ordinary
ice skate always experience some
difficulty in the management ofthese
skates, butafter little persevering
practice all the various movements
can be performed more gracefully
than upon the steel runners. One
agreeable feature about them is that
no swing or jerk of the body forces
them from their regular course. The
best appointed rink for the sport in
the country is at Cincinnati, where
the champion skater, Frank Swift,
is in charge of the institution, and
gives instructions without charge to
all who are dcsirous to learn the art.
Ladies and children can practice this
delightful amusement without dam
ger from contusions from falls, or
fear of a warm spell of weather put
ting an end the sport, as it does not
depend on the smiles or the frowns
of the frost king in any degree. At
the above named rink few days
since, Eugine II. S. Cair, the same
who made the hundred miles in elev-
Ell hours, last February at one of the
Western rinks, made the remarkable
time of one mile in four and a quar-
ter minutes on the rollers. We trust
to see the sport inauguaated in all
our cities.

1t being tie vote, the Chief JUS
tice voted aye, thus giving practical
effect to the position assumed by him.
as to his right to vote. The circum-
stance created some futter on the
floor, and much amusement in the
galleries. The Senate, headed by the
Chief Justice, then. about three
O'Clock retired for consultation. Soon
after, the galleries began to thin out,
members of the House gathered in
knots and INDUCED in boisterous con-
versatiOn, and the counsel for the
President consulted quietly together
One hour, two hours, three hours
passed, and still the Senators did not
return to their chamber. The few
spectators 10 the galleries dWadled
listlessly, most of the members sought
other scenes more charming, and
the general appearance Of things was
listless and uninteresting.
At last, at twenty minutes past six,
the Senate returned, and the Chief
Justice, having called the body to
order, said: The Senate has had
under consideration the question
which was discussed before it retired,
and has directed me to report the fol-
lowing rule:
Rule z. The presiding officer of
the Senate shall direct all necessary
preparations Ia the Senate Chamber,
and the presiding officer Of the Senate
shall direct all the forms Of proceed
ings when sitting for the purpose Of
trying an mpeachment, and all forms
during the trial not otherwise specially
provided for and the presiding officer
on the trial may rule on all questions
of evidence and on incidental ques-
tons, which decisions will stand as
the judgment of the Senate for deci-
sion, or he may at his option, In the
instance, submit any such question to
