6y Acting Secretary Hartley, in relation to
the SEVENTEEN section of the act Of Con-

L. Thomas, Jr, collector of the port Of

him to the department, calling attention to
the fact that the compliance with the re-

munication Of the twenty sixth Of August
last, relative to the substitution Of globe
light for torch light upon sailing vessels;
tuition is admissible under section seventy,

You will perceive that the solicitor is of
the opinion that a globe light may be sub

ever the proper officer shall be satisfied
that the use Of the latter would endanger
the vessel, and that the former would sub
stantially fulfill the purpose of the act. In
this opinion the department cOncurs.

Indianapolis) at four dollars per day, and
finally reached The sublime elevation in
Congress perhaps that he made a speech on
the Alabama claims When he became a
great man. gorgeous women floated in the
atmosphere about him: and the pith of the
poem is that he was faithful to his plain

girlish beauty was gone. fried out of her as
it were in a terrible kitchen fire, and
dissipated in washtubs. and the care of
several babies. This ideal politician evil
IDENTIFY must have been a very remarkable
az well as commendable person. If the
poem proves success, it may help the

for great American statesmen to be true to
their ignorant and not beautiful wives. We
would, however, advise ladies who are
attached matrimonially to rising statesmen,
to accompany their husbands as much as
possible in their wanderings, that they may
