MRS. MARY A. LIyERMuRg, OF
Illinois, one of the leading ladies
in the woman suffrage convention
at Cleveland, last week, in the
course of a speech before that body,
told how:
When engaged in hospital work
during the war she needed the sig
nature of the Governor Of the State
OF Illinois to some document, and
after going to several places could
not find him. Finally the hackman
said he could find him, and took
her to q liquor saloon. He went
In aud found the Governor, but told
Mrs. LivermOre that she must go
in for he could not come out. She
went in, and there, behind a green
screen, that too many persons
might not see him, she found the
Governor of the State Of Illinois all
in a heap, dead drunk. Sensation ]
Afterwards We sent him to COu-
gress as q Senator for six years.
More sensational AT a later stage
she needed the signature Of another
officer at the seat Of war, and could
not find him because he was of on
one of his sprees. Afterwards VIC
made that man the President of
the United States. Violent sensa-
ton.

We clip the following notice Of a
speech made by our eloquent friend,
Mr.. Frank Packard, city clerk Of
Vicksburg, at the opening Of q new
wharf boat at that city By Messrs.
Carroll, Green u Co. We Ore glad
10 learn that ct least the Vicksburg
Herald has = proper appreciation Of
the remarkable genius Of Mr.. Pack
ard, and II is TO be hoped that the
time IL not far distant when the cisi-
zens Of the chill city, generally, win
come to q proper acknowledgment
OF the inestimable genius Of this
modest but gifted young man.
"After which repeated calls were
made for Frank Packard, the city
clerk. The native modesty Of this
gentleman almost deprived the as
semblage Of hearing the glowing,
eloquent and beautiful sentiments
which he was finally induced 10 ut-
ter. While we were intensely de-
lighted with the speeches Of the
other gentlemen, we are constrained
to say, IN ell good feeling to them,
that they were exCelled by Mr..
Packard.

desire to effect q very slight transformation,
substitute hat with long dropping feather
for the stiff little cap, and throw the cloak

The snow storm of the season, a small affair
compared. with the successful and numerous
ones OF last winter, has visited lis, and left be-
hind it the first permanent slei2hin9 Of the year.
At this louged Tor contamination, the hearts of
the owners of horses and seighs rebound with
delight, and merrily sound the bells on all the
thoroughfares, and especially on the Brighton
road. where perfect carnival reigns. For
pedestrians, the ice and snow which fondly
cling to many of the sidewalks are not so pro-
pitious nor productive Of enjoyment. 1t is a
humiliation which lothing else approaches, to
measure cne's length upon the sidewalk; one
looks wildly and furtiveiy about to see if any
eyes saw the downfall, and then rushes from the
dismal scene of action. Woe to the improyi-
dent soul who boldly declares that he has not
fallen this winter; he will in the next breath be
a PROSTATE illustration of the trite warning that
pride shall have fall.

situated at tile corner Of Brookine street and
Warren Avenue, but the main part is not
yet ready for occupancy, the vestry is at pres
ent used, and commodious as it is, is hardly
large enough to accommodate the congrega-
ton. The services are of the simplest kind,
with congregational singing CT the old aud
well known hymn tunes, and an entire absence
of formalty and rituasm. The simple earn
est manner Of the preacher, and the discourses
which he delivers, at once so practical and yet
so spiritual, are appreciated and responded to
BY q most attentive and devout audience, who
could not if they would, fail to be touched
and interested by the manner and matter Of
the services.

says that Senator Morgan, in his contest with
Fenton, paid as high as $4,000 apiece for many
votes. The whole number of votes received
by him was forty and if all were paid for at
the price named, they cost him just 100000.
But the country at large will have to pay the
bill eventually. The new Senator will soon
