The reconstructed State Of Georgia has
elected seven United States Senators, and
not one of them is admitted. First there
were A. H. Stephens and H. V. johnson,
elected by the Andy Johnson reconstruc-
ton. These were refused admission on &C.
count of prejudice still lingering against
them for their course during the secession
dispute. The reconstructed Legislature that
elected them was reconstructed out again.
Then a reconstructed loyal Legislature
elected Miller and Hill. Then the Legisla-
ture fell from loyal grace and elected the
colored members; for this proof that the
State was unregenerate Congress refused ad.
mission to these Senators. Then Congress
and the army reconstructed the Legislature
in the color of loyalty, and it elected three
other Senators-Blodgett,F arrow and White.
ly-whO, with the two last elected before
are awaiting admission. And now the Sen
ate has decided that none shall be admitted
till another popular election has been held.
OF course the new Legislature will not re-
elect any of the other elected ones. They
have expended their stock in trade. So the
eighth and ninth Senators elect will apply in
their turn. BY this time the business of
running for Senator in Georgia must be es-
teemed an uncertain one. Cincinnati Co.

A little romance of a sprained ankle comes
to us from st. Louis, in which young clerk,
young lady school-teacher, and dog, are
the leading features. The clerk and the
school-teacher, it appears from previous
confederation of circumstances, had fallen
desperately in love. One evening as the
couple were proceeding to church, fero-
cions dog jumped over fence aud "went
for the lady. Here was chance for chiv.
airy. and the young man CALAMITY improved
it. Throwing himself in front of his fair
one he gave the attacking monster blow
which sent him flying with yelps of igno-
minious defeat; but in the very moment of
victory the young man fell and sprained his
ankle. II was now the turn for womanly
heroism to display itself. The school
teacher WAS a girl with no nonsense about
her. She. at once ordered hack, helped
her lover il, accompanied him to his room,
bathed and dressed his ankle, watched
over Lin all night, and naturally enough
went for friend and minister next day, and
married her man in the evening. What
could be more satisfactory termination Of
the story than this

The ST. Joseph Union gives the following:
A Portland (Oregon) hotel keeper was VIC
timized not long since in the folio wing man.
ner: A. 3. went to him and engaged board
for week, at ten dollars per week. Now
said A. B., Il may be absent occasionally :;
what deduction will you make for that? q
Fifty cents meal and fifty cents lodg-
ing replied the landlord. Time wore on,
and A. Il. was sometimes there and some
times not. After while, the landlord pre-
sented bill for three weeks board thirty
dollars. In short time A. B. appeared with
a counter bill for deduction for meals and
lodgings missed. Meals eaten, three, one
dollar and half; lodging. seven, three dol
lars and half; meals missed, sixty, thirty
dollars; lodgings missed, fourteen, seven
dollars; balance IN favor of A. B., twelve dol
lars. The landlord, of course, was little
astonished ut the result of the reckoning,
and. therefore, said not word, for the best
reason that he could not think of anything
that could do justice to the subject. Where
upon A. b., to relieve the landlords perplex.
ity. remarked with cool urbanity !" Well,
never mind the twelve dollars; FL take that
out 10 board" The landlord could not see
how to keep even with such boarder. and
30 the connection between him and A. B., as
landlord and boarder, came to an end.
