SUMNER IN THE SENATE CHAMBER.-
Away back On the highest row, as we
used to call it at country school" a
portly, suave, but reserved gentleman is
busily writing. He looks like some Eng
lishman strayed into the midst of these
lank and nervous Americans. But he Is,
despite that the most thorough Ameri-
can in the United States Senate. Such
hosts of papers as constantly come to
him, to be read, endorsed, or thrown
asidel And the cards hutter in to him
like snow birds around large crumb.
If he rises to speak, he hasat least TWEEN
ty things TO discharge from consideration !;
II he has an argument to make, he cries
out, thunderously brief, in hoarse bass
voice, and hurries to get down again at
work. No airs, no petulance, no anxiety
to attract attention the Senate's father,
dignifed as patriarch, polished as
Gladstone, humane as Bright, fearless as
Theirs; in the full stature and perfect
manhood and craftsmanship Charles
Sumner-Cor. Springfield Republican.

President Grant has nominated Gov.
Curtin of Pennsylvania as minister to
Russia. This is another nomination well
deserved. Gov. Curtin contributed large
ly in the work of that brilliant campaign
of 1860, which first elected Abraham
Lincoln, being elected governor of his
State that year and reelected in 1868,
and added greatly to his own fame and
that of his State, by his earnest efforts
and thorough patriotism during the war.

1t is with no small amount of pleasure

1t is with no small amount of pleasure
that we notice the nomination of John
Jay of New York, by President Grant,
as minister to Austria. Mr., Jay was one
of the early champions of anti-slavery
and freedom. and held out faithful unto
the end. He was manager Of the young
mems anti-slapery society ia 1884, and
during all this period, when anti-slavery
men were so bitterly hunted and revled
in both north and south, he stood by his
faith. He it was who finally carried the
admission of the colored church of St.
Phillips in the Episcopal convention of
the Diocese of New York, after strug-
gle Of nine years. To those especially,
who sympathized with the anti-slavery
movement of that period, it is highly
gratifying to see such men appreciated
by the present administration.

The ILLUSTRATED CHRISTIAN. This
Is the title Of comparatively new or
young periodical, and as indicated by
its title, is an illustrated weekly paper,
and non-sectarian in character. In each
issue it gives portraits Of eminent divines,
and also other miscellaneous illustra-
tions of general interest. In the relig-
ious field, we always receive "non-sec-
tartan" announcement with favor, but our
observation has been that most of them
are quite as partizan in their field of la
Dor, as any other class. The copy be-
fore us, however, (No. II of the second
volume,) is entirely free from any such
faint, and seems TO be conducted in the
true Spirit of Christian union, and must
have an elevating and harmonious influ-
ence. Its contributors consist of persons
and clergymen Indifferent denominations,
and we heartily commend it as n very
desirable periodical to every family in
our land. Address, ID. A. Alden & Co.

A Young man fell dead in the
whirl of German waltz, at Chicago,

as the liieless body dropped on the

warning the jewellers had that death was
Among them.

Society is considering the feasibility oil

The language Of nature and expert

enjoy the pleasures of food, the beauties
of landscape, the joys Of companion
ship, the riches of literature, or the hon
ors of station ard renown, must preserve
their health. The effect of foul, injuri-
Gus food, entering the stomach, is to de-
range the digestive organs and produce
headache, loss Of appetite, unretreshing
sleep, low spirits, feverish burnings, etc,

AK uNNArunAL soN.-A ease Of un.

AN UNNATUBAL SOMA case OF I'M
filial brutality has come to our notice OF
so outrageous character, that we regret
tobe compelled to chronicle it. Ayoung
man has been living with his wife and
mother on Orange street for some time
past, His mother, an old woman de-
pendant on her son for support, has been
sick for several weeks with an inward
cancer Of an aggravated character. Her
son, finding that his mother was net like
ly to get well for some time, night before
last, in company with his wife, left the
house, taking stoves, chairs, and in fact
every article Of furniture except the bed
on which his mother was lying. 1t is
said that he even attempted to take the
bed, but was kept from this act of cruel
ty by the other occupants of the house.
Thus the woman was left helpless with
out food or fuel, while her son took up
his abode with his wiie's mother on Pleas
ant Street. Some of the neighbors have
reported the matter to the Mayor, but
probably no legal case can be made out
against the brute = Taunton Gazette.

The Spirit of Kentucky.

A private letter to the editor OF the
NeV York Tribune, casually gives the
following illustrations of the secesh and
pro-slavery spirit, which still prevails in
that State:
Many professed Christians, it appears
to me, are entire strangers to the true
spirit of Christianity. To show the ami
mus of some, l will say that | have heard
Church member say that " | have been
made so mad at seeing the negro chill
dren passing on the streets with books in
their hands, going to school, that have
felt that | could take the books from them
and beat them 10 pieces on their faces.
This specimen was Missionary Bap-
tist) A short time previous to the cleo
ton, in an adjoining country, | was ask
ed by a gentleman at his fireside how |
| thought the election would go. re-
piled that l thought Grant would be
elected The responsefrom the husband
was, / am afraid So From the wife il
was, If he is hope another Wilkes
Booth will arise The conversation
turning upon the negroes, she said, They
ought all to be killed off, And this wo
man is a member of that order who, il
this and some other States, contend that
all their Churches shall be known as Ih,
Christian Church, thus claiming for theil
denomination the distinctive name o
Christian. Such utterances frequently
emanate from both men and women O.
all professions and of no profession, bu
all embraced in the great Democratic
party. Yet, Notwithstanding, it is plair
to be seen that many who have beer
warm, active sympathizers with the Reb
els are now expressing satisfaction-som
even gratitude-that Slavery is abolish
ed, and say that they would not reinstat
it if they could do SO by wave of tn
hand. But others, again, feel that lit
has been stripped of all that is of an
worth, and think the necessity of person
al exertion-doing ones own chores, c
drudgery-is intolerable, and ought no
cannot be endured by any one possessin
a moiety of self-respect."
