The spologists of the ::ssalary swim

Ter and General Banks, that "Con-
gressmen' cannot live in Washingto ton
in style worthy their ofticiafstations

sufficient TO clothe and feed themselves

fore they reached their long arms
into Uncle Sans strong box and

commenced on the 2nd of December

adjourned from the 22nd of DeceIn-
Der TO the 9th of January, which in

the actual number of days was reduc-

average number of hours they were

The doubtful counties are Clermont,

have elected Republicans it will give
that party fifty-two straight members,
with three independent Republicans,
viz; Root. OF Erie; Barnetts, of Preb-
lie, and Chaplin. of Washington, MAX
ing a total of 55. If the Democrats
are successful in the three doubtful
counties they will have a total of for
ty-nine straight Democrats, leaving
the balance of power in the hands OF
the Liberal Republicans. Presuning,
however, the Republicans to have car
ried the three close counties, they
have total of fiity-five members, in

The following tale of how the
hired men got even with chAnticlesr
for being too early q riser. is thu,
graphically told by the Columbus
No, Herald: Capt Vandivsr, OF
this county, who, by the way, is
quite string farmer, recently hired
three young men to work on his
farm. He told each man that he
must be up in the morning by the
first growing of the cock. He had .
faithful old rooster who never tailed
to crow At the earliest dawn, and it
was agreed all round that his first
notes should be the signal for the
boys to Dc up and about the duties
of the day. Monday morning came,
and the captain awoke, rs usual, be-
tore day, and listened long and pa
tisntly for ohanticlser 20 "sing his
earliest grssting,' but he sang not.
Day began to dawn and the old
hsns were singing in the barn yard,
but no growing was heard on the
farm. By and by the sun arose and
sent his frat and brig test rays
through the captains window. The
captain again Awoks from his second
snooE7, aud, Sssing the sunshine on
the floor, sprang from his bed with
the exclamation, what in the ID
is the matter with that chicken p
From the bedroom of the boys came
three shores, loud and long draw
out. "The d." says the captain,

What in The mischief can be ths
matter with my old rooster ?" Put
ting on his clothes, he fastened to
the hen houss-all the chickens had
flown the roost, save the chan ticleer
who sat with drOopsd wings and
head between his fcst-1ast asleep
The boys had chloroformed him.

THE FIRST STEP.


TWsstmiPSter Review for October
Fsrty years ago, In one OF the
academies near Boston, a number of
girls went along with set Of tksir
School boy friends in the entire pre-
paration for Harvard University
The girls knew mathematics and
Greek ss vsllAs the boys diu, and
formed plau Of going to the unlvsr-
sity with then. We cannot say
whether tao plan grew out of keen
zeAt for knowledge, or cut Of an un-
willingness to break off the very
pleasant companionMhip probably

there could be much objection TO

had wanted to go or had been fitted
to go. They proposed TO live at
home, 40 thNrs would be no difficulty

However as their request was new,
it Occurred to them that little dl-
PlOmacy night be required in pre-
aenting it, 50 they deputel the m OSt
prudent of the party to do the talk
ing, and imposed strict silence upon
the youngsss and most impulSive
one, from whom we have the story.
The girl called upon old President
Quincy, told him what they had
dsus in their studies, that had passed
the examinations with the boys, and
wished to be admitted to the un liver.
sity. President Quincy listened to
their story, and svIncsd 80 much
admiration for their work and aims
that they Al first felt sure of success.
But he seemed slow in coming t.
the point. He talked of the newness
and difficulties of the scheme, and
propose other opportunities Of study
for them, till st length this youngest
one, forgetting in her impatisuee her
promise to keep silent, said i: "Well
President Quincy, you teel sure the
trustees will let IA come, don't you p
"Oh, by no MEANS" was the reply
"this is = place only for men," The
girl of sixteen burst into tears, and

One of the Seven W. nders Of the
world was the wall and hanging
gardens of Babylon. This ancient
city Was built on square plain, sur
rounded by walls three hundred
and fifty feet high. This wall was
elghty-scven feet hick on tho top.
at regular distances from each other,
were tao + uudred and fifty towers /;
outside the wall was a very deep
ditch, constantly ke pit fall OF water.
On The top of the walls was a row
ct houses on each sldc and room
tor two cbariots abreast in he mid.
de The King of Babylon caused
the hanging gardens to be built for
his Queen. The gardens were four
hundred feet long on each side, and
rose by terraces 20 the height of the
walls of the city. This enormous
pile was sustained by arches placed
one upon the her. On tho top OF
the arches wer~ laid large fat stones
then layer Of EDS mixed with
Oitumen. On this were lain two
rows of brick and plaster, then a
layer Of sheets Of lead. and upon
this the mold was passed. This
mod was 80 deep that tho largest
trees could take firm root. In the
upper terra G was sort of engine or
pump, which drew the water FROM
the river below, aud thus watercd
the gardens.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN THURSDAY, APRIL "a 1873 -.

tanned that court as the supreme resort
and arbiter of all State questions The
doctrine Of State rights was, that the
States themselves, as equal soverelgns,
had the right to decide in the last resort
on all questions affecting their power, as
well as on the mode and measure of re-
dress. This doctrine seems now formally
surrendered, and the rights of the States
depend on the decree Of court. 70
render this consequence indisputable we
have but to ask, is that Fright whose
exercise depends on the will OF another !:
This acknowledgment of paramount
power in the federal courts to decide on
questions involving the exercise or reser-
walton of power by the States eliminates
the last difference of principle between
those who accept the construction put
upon the federal constitution by the issues
and results of the civil war, and those
who, under the elastic appellatlon OF
Democrats, resist the Republican construc-
ton. Let it be noted that the decisions
Of the Supreme Court are tie law of the
land, and that the court is the admitted
expounder of the rights Of the States.
What triumph for Daniel Webster: We
should like some spiritualist to inquire
what Mr. Hayne thinks Of this surrender.

man may be permitted to leave his plow
