The proceedings of the Court OF Impeacnlnen'
were not very interesting or important to-oay' MI
stsnberv WAS unable TO attend, and his associates
were not sufficiently familiar with the character oil
the evidence vet in reserve TO warrant them In pro-
eeedipa with oral testimony. SO MIR. Curtis an
pounced. soon after the opening of the Court that
bo would consume the day in the presentation OF
documentary testimony. Previous to this, however,
some time had been spent in a repetition OF the
attempt which was made yesterday to give the Man
ayers and Counsel opportunities for speeches that
are not allowed by the existing rule. The subject
same no on q motion by Mr.. Sumner to allow such OF
the Managers and Counsel as crowded out by the
rules to print their arguments as part OF the proceed
ings Of the Court. For this Mr.. Conness moved a
substitute allowing each side four days for oratory
after the close of the testimony. Mr. Drake moved
70 postpone the whole subject indefinitely ana 'hiS
was done by 81 to Is.
The first document presented in evidence was '"o
appointment of Thomas Ewing of Ohio as secretary
Of War made by the President on the "a Oh
February. The nomination was made on that aaS'
as testified by the Presidents Secretary; but when
the Seeretarv reached the Capitol, the Senate mad
adjourned. 1t did not therefore, reach the senate
until Monday Feb q. The next document oneIeu
was the Message of the President in answer to the
Executive resolution of the 21st which pronounced
the removal of Secretary Stanton illegal and uncon-
stitutionaI This message was dated Feb "A. Mr.
Butler promptly objected to its introduction
on the ground that it was declaration
made after the crime had been committed.
He concluded by asking whether the
counsel for the President dare offer such thing IN
evidence This brought Mr.. Evarts to his feet III
abort speech. in which he sharply rebuked Mr.. But
Ter for his word dare" He said that the Preside nts
counsel might claim some superiority III law and
evidence but in the measure of daring they GER
tainly could not compete with the Managers. After
considerable debate the ChiefJustice expressed the
opinion that the message not competent evil
denee. He wOuld however submit the question
to the Senate if any Senator desired it,. No
Senator desired it. and the document was
ruled out Next the counsel presented a
long list of appointments, made during preceding
administrations without the advice and consent OF
the Senate while the Senate was in session. These
were not put In as testimony but were ordered to be
printed and laid on the desks of Senator'S The resi-
due of the DAVIS session was occupied in the intro
duction of documents of various kinds none of them
new to the public or important in their character
At haf-past three the counsel having finished the
work which they had appointed for the day, the
Court adjourned.

A FEW MAxIMs FOR YoUNu GIRLS. -
Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first brushed
and arranged your hair, and dressed
yourself neatly and completely.
Keep your clothing in perfect order.
Never let pins do duty as buttons, or
strings take the place of proper bands.
Examine every garment when it
comes from the wash, and, if necessary
mend it with neatness and precision.
Do not sew up the holes in your stock
ings, as we have seen some careless,
nntidy girls do, but take in a broad
margin around the hole, be it small or
large, with fine darning needle and
darning cotton, and cover the fracture
with an interlaced stitch, SO close as to
be strong as the body of the stocking,
and fine enough as to be ornamental.
Train yourself to useful occupation.
Remember it is wicked to waste time,
hllel DOUllIS MI DItSSlOU
of vanity and absolute Stiffness as q
habit of idleipg and never having any
thing to do.
Ii you ale in your fathers house,
take some department of household la
Dor upon yourself, and par of the
sewing, and make it your business to
attend to it. Do not let call from
this idle girl, or visit from that, or
an invitation from the other interfere
with the performance of your duty.
If you can cultivate to perfection
some art by which you can gain an in
livelihood, do it whether tb7re is ne
cessity for it or not Do it quietly, if
you will, but do it. There is no telling
when or under what circumstances you
may need it.

them into the most convenient forms,
and pass them from hand to hand. :"

friendly information of the news

sometimes tempted to regret that the

appeared in the 'folios of four pages,

not be inscribed on more durable tab

the road will add to the value of their

$500, 000 the whole of which, with the
Exception of $4,000, is said to have
been raisedVby New Jersey capitalists.

PLAIN 1T A LITTLE MORE.

The COngregdtiondiist contains the
following story: "A good minister
had long preached to u congregation
of average culture with little appar-
cnt good result. Thinking the mat
ter over, one Saturday morning, after
he had finished writing his weekly
sermon, the thought occurred to him
to 20 down stairs and read 1t to his
pious, simple-hearted domestic. Per
haps,' said he, Il shoot too high.'-
Calling her from her work, he read a
few sentences, selected as containing
the clearcst announcement of the
truth which the sermon was intended
to convey, and ask cd her, 'Doyou I'M
derstand that?' mo, SIR was the
reply. He then extemporized the
same idea i'm simpler language, and
asked her again, DO you understand
that?' a little was her answer
cd the truth of her words-'but please,
ho expounded his original idea in the
most lucid manner and with thief
est and shortest words he could think
of, when she exclaimed with great
delight-I see it all now, sir, and
llkC ~ WHY IlS NtIU UP
stairs, re-wrote his discourse as nearly
Ms possible in the same style as he had
used in his experiment, and went to
church next morning, almost trem-
bling lest his people would be dis
gusted with his preaching. To his
amazement, the very first sentences
seemed to awaken n listening, such Us
no had never before been able to Sc
cure. And, as he went on, he could
see one eye after another moistening,
until almost his whole congregation
were visibly touched rs he had never
seen them before, and as the result OF
that service more than one came 10
him 10 inquire, What must do?'-
The effect upon his own mind was
such that he changed his style ol
preaching from that time thoroughly
declaring that as for him--let Others
do what they maybe would speak
no az to be understood 6y all whom |,
was his duty to address.
