The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Commonwealth says:
Although the colored Senator repre-
sents the same state which Jefferson Da
Wis represented before the war, yet it IS
not possible for him to occupy exactly the
same seat which the great rebel sat in;
for that was destroyed the first year Of
the rebellion. A gentleman now in this
city inform me that he was in the Sen
ate chamber one day, in April, 1861.
soon after the arrival of Col. Jones's
regiment, the Massachusetts Sixth, which
had run the gauntlet of the rebel Mt
tack at Baltimore on the 10Th of that
month, and heard some Of the soldiers
vociferously inquire which chair had
been occupied by JEFF. Davis; and, it
when was pointed out to them, he saw
them smash it into kindling-wood. The
soldiers used to while away part of the
time by holding mock sessions, putting
a wig into the chair of the presiding of
ficer, ststioning soldiers as deorkeepers,
introducing bills, orders, reports, ETC.,
and making burlesque speeches. They
had pretty good time of it,

A Satisfactory Financial Transaction.

A singular financial transaction occurr-
ed in one of the dock Offices n day or
two since. By some means or other it
happened that the office boy owed one of
the clerks three cents, and the cashier
owed the Office boy two cents. One day
last week the Office boy, having cent IN
his pocket, concluded to diminish his
debt. and therefore handed the nickle
over to the clerk, who, in turn, paid half
his debt by giving the coin to the cashier.
The latter handed the cent back to the
Office boy, remarking, snow l only owe
you one cent" The office boy again
passed the cent TO the clerk, who passed
it TO the cashier, who passed it back to
the office boy, ard the latter individual
squared all accounts by paying it to the
clerk, there by discharging his entire
debt. Thus it may be seen how great
is the benefit to be derived from a single
cent if only expended judiciOusIy.-Buf

Rev. William Norton, of England
spent twenty years of time and labor, lat
cost to himself of over $5,O00) in trans
latiug the New Testament into the Span
ish language. To his sound scholarship
indefatigable exertions, and liberal spirit,
is attributed translation which has no
superior in any language. 1t is marked
by strict fidelity to the original, and is
pronounced by critics to be work of ex-
cellence" Mr.. Norton presented his
translation to the American Bible Union,
which society has published it, and it is
now given to the common people in Mad
rid every day of the week. "On the very
spot where lie the remains Of $4,000
martyrs who suffered during the time of
the Spanish Inquisition, christian man
stands with one Of the Gospels in his
hands and offers it for half penny
Hundreds are disposed of in few hours"
The same translation is widely cir culated
in Mexico, where seven Baptist churches
have been organized within few months
over the year past.
Three months ago there were in Mad
rid, Spain, only few Baptists without
any organic union. Now there are two
Baptist Churches, with total member
ship, at last accounts, of Sc. The coven-
ant adopted by the frst Of these churches,
