A HANDsOME PLACE.

IT is certainly pleasure to find a
place of business where comfort and re-
| finement are combined to render it at
| tractive. A. p. ball and J NJ. Stones,
managers of Southern agencies OF the
I Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine for
A. Sumner, fully understand and appre-
ciate the value ofappearances, and have
recently refitted and refurDished their
Sewing Machine Rooms, No. 256 Second
street, in a style of Deatness and ele-
gance not surpassed by any like estab-
| lishment in the country. The ceiling
and walls have been newly and hand
somely re-decOrated, the floors re-car-
peted and every improvement made
that taste could suggest or money pur-
chase. 1t is a treat now to walk through
the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine
/ Rooms, to experiment with one of the
new improved Wheeler & Wilson Ma
chimes, which everybody should know
Is the favorite sewing machine with all
ladies of taste and judgment. 1t is need
less TO rehearse the many excellent quail
ities of the Wheeler & Wilson Machine.
Almost every lady in the country is fa-
miliar with its merits, and it is well
| known fact that this machine stands at
the head of all competitors. A. Sum-
uer, through his agents, Messrs. Hall 4
Stone, also offers to the public the eele-
brated Smith American Organ, some
very fine specimens of which are on ex-
hibition at No. 256 Second street. They
also have for sale at the same place ].
P. Hale & Co.'s splendid pianO-fortes,
which have become deservedly popular
with all who have tested their merits.
We would respectfully refer all persons
in search of a piano, organ or sewing-ma-
chine to the Wheeler x Wilson Agency,
No. 256 Second street, where parties can
purchase on satisfactory terms such as
will enable anyone to become the owner

Mr. Potter, reverting to the two pre-
| cedents cited by Mr.. Poland to-day, re
marked that though the persons whC
were referred TO were expelled for act!
committed before their election, yet they
had been indicted for them during tn,
sitting Of Parliament.
Mr. Farnsworth then rose anC
proceeded 10 make an argument
in favor Of the accused and against the
conclusions of the select committee
What he asked was a statement of the
committee as against Ames-first that
he bribed his friends; second, that they
did not know they were bribed; anC
third, that they were not affected by the
bribery.
The debate was continued in thi:
style until the adjournment for recess al
half past five O'Clock, the result being
; that the farther consideration of the
question of expulsion was postponed

The word "quiz,n to make fun of, OF
poke fun at a person, was the coinage oi
a theatrical manager in Dublin, who, al
drinking party with his friends on
Saturday night, when the conversation
turned upon the subject of words, offered
{ bet the wine that he could, then and
there, coin a word that would be in the
mouths Of Dublin next day. The bet
being taken, and the party dispersed,
the manager called up his call-bOys and
runners, gave them pieces Of chalk and
ordered them to run all over the city,
chalking the word "quiz' on every door,
shutter and fence they came TO. This
was done, and, as a matter OF course,
the new word was in everybody's mouth
the next day. The manager won his bet,
aud his word is now in all respectable
dictionaries.
The slang expression for death, "kick-
ing the bucket" had its origin from one
BOlsover, who, in England, a great
while ago, committed suicide by stand
ing on bucket till be kicked the buck
et from under him.
The word bumper meaning a full
drink when friends are drinking, Is q
corruption Of the toast offered in French
~ NAlE NtfCt MAtli tut TtllBlOD
was in the ascendant in England, al
bon 0ere.
To 'tdun,n to press for money due,
comes from oneJoeDunn,a a famous bailifl
Of Lincoln, In England, during the reign
Of Henry VII. he was 80 uncommonly
successful In collecting money, that
when a man refused TO pay, the creditor
was asked why he didn't Dunn him.
"Humbugp is q corruption Of the Irish
words uiH bog, pronounced OOmbug,
signifying soft copper, or pewter, oI
brass, OF worthless money, such as was
made by James II, at the Dublin mint
twenty shillings Of which was worth
only two pence sterling. At first applied
10 worthless coin, the word became the
general title Of anything false or coun-
terfeit-
The sign "yiz," signifying to-wit, OF

but the third letter was not originally 2;
il was the mark used in medicine for q
drahm, which, in writing, very much
resembles z, and In viz was simply used
as a mark or sign Of abbreviation.
