quantity is alarming. OF these tIiir-
ty-threc are senators, and one hun

eighty, or about two-ilnr,;s of The

composed of two-thirds negroes il
something of Il novelty. ltis certain

there are bat eight Democrats. AID in

good specimen OF the typical steam

AFTER PRAYER,
during the delivery of which there
was a sort OF calm, business broke
out in vigorous styl'. From two TO
five were upon the floor at once,
gesiiculating wildly aud talking in
tongues. l could not catch
the drift of the argument, and it is
if the participants knew
themselves. Que black and consump-
tive-iooking youth, whose strength
Cf voice contrasted strongly with his

floor with vigor of purpose worthy
OF more important cause. liz the
general food of voices and roar of
surrounding tongues, could distin-
guish or recognize, as it were, frag-
