Baby has been here, Il seems,
Baby Annie on the wing
In my little library,
Plundering and reveling.
Annie dear, the darling witch
Sec how innocent she looks
But she hes q world of wiies
When she gets among my books
Half the time own she seems
Less being than a star:
Then again cry, MY books;
Annie, what a 70 nc you arel"
- No, no :" papn cries in vain;
Down the dainty volumes come;
Papa, hero you are no king,
am queen In baby dom.
Stately johnson lies In grief
Under laughing Rabelais;
Emerson is fiat for once;
Heine's thumbing Thackeray.
Whittier, o poet rarel
Thou hast many pages less,
But II all were gone but one,
That would hold and charm or bless
Baby with the double crown,
And the laughter haunted eyes,
Papa's aanctum, volume-strewn,
IL to thee Paradisel
forgive thee when feel
Breath and lips upon me pressed
Sweet as any allen air,
Blown from harbors Of the blest
Papa" something whispers me,
Better every laden shelf
Empticd by her baby hands
Than the house all to thyself"

machine she had purchased, giving as
reason that her husband had gone off and
married another woman and brought her
home, thus increasing the family expenses
to such an extent as to render it impossi-
BILE to pay the usual installment at the

The committee appointed u11sr SIN
uer's resolution TO Investigate the sale
OF arms to France, was packed in the
interest of the administration A Wash
ington special says the extraordinary
spectacle was witnessed Of Senators
electioneering, in the distribution Of
carefully-preparei ballots for the select
committee to investigate the sale OF
arms to France. So partisan and dis
graceful an exhibition excited surprise,
for it developed the fact that the sup
porters of the administration had re-
sorted to a secret ballot in open session,
and in violation Of uniform practice
OF the Senate, to prevent Senator Schurz
from having place on the committee,
and this, too, in the face Of the fact that
no longer ago than Friday list Of the
committee was submitted by Mr.. Came
ron and laid aside for future adoption
Mr.. Trumbull commented on the sud
denness Of this proceeding, but failed to
effect change. 1t was evident that il
was all preconcerted, for, the moment il
was decided to elect the committee by
secret ballot, two or three administra
ton Senators commenced to distribute
carefully prepared tickets, aud the re
suit was committee thoroughly in con
souance with the administration, except
possibly, General Logan.

uARpRR,h WEEKLY.

Harper's Weekly is vile sheet, politi-
cally. It's last number contains a pic
ture implying libel on Sumner and
Schurz. Mr.. Summers resolution of in
on;ry concerning the sale Of arms to
France, is the provocation. The resolu-
ton simply proposes an inquiry by the
Senate into all sales Of ordnance stores
made by the government of the United
States during the war between France
aud Germany; to ascertain the persons
10 whom such sales were made, the CIR
cnmstances under which they were made,
and the real parties in interest, and the
sums respectively paid and received by
the real parties" For this, paper that
commands great means and enjoys a
wide circulation, libels them in form
tue most effective that can be resorted
10. Cannot Senator Of the United
States rise to the dignity Of his position
and perform bis duty to the country
without subjecting himself to pictorial
libels? Must his free soul be intimida-
