DEFEAT OF THE ELECTION BILL
On Friday of last week the Louisiana
Election Bill was before the United
States Senate. Before the bill was
finally voted upon an amendment was
adopted retaining the Kellogg govern
ment in power during the election. The
The bill as originally reported, restored
the old (Warmoth) government to pow
er, until the election would be over.
Mr.. Carpenter, the author of the bill,
changed his views so far as to vote for
the amendment. When the bill was
put to a vote, it was tabled or defeated.
The next day reconsideration was
moved, and. the motion to reconsider
was tabled-which killed the bill with
that Congress. This leaves the State
government in statu quo. The Kellogg
government is recognized by the Pres
ident and his cabinet, and will be sus-
tanned, if necessary, by the military
power Of the United States; ana it is
pronounced the legal government by the
State Supreme Court. RmnPou stand
point, we can see no. clid9tges' that may
occur, except such as may be effected
by compromise.

A MERMAID.-The Los Angeles En-
press says that a genuine mermaid Is
now on exhibition in that place, having
been caught in the Pacific a few weeks
since, and embalmed by a physician of
San Diego. 1t is thus described:
The eyes, in large sockets, were prick
ed to let out the water in the embalm-
ing process. The month is very broad,
with twenty-eight curved and singular
~ shaped teeth. The nose is a combi-
nation Of the Roman aud the snub.
The brow is heavily indented with
heavy brain lobes; long and broad ears
adOrn the queer-lOoking head, and
short, woolly hair covers the head and
sides of the face. The cerebel1um and
Adams apple are very prominent. The
arms are long and terminate in long
claws, consisting of four fingers and q
thumb, with the sharpest of nails,
There are eleven ribs extending around
the body and meeting at the breast.
Here the fshy portion Of the thing be-
gins. It is covered with scales, the
spine having the dorsal fin, and the fish
continuing in the usual development to
the tip of the tail.

The India Medical Gazette reports
some cases of smallpox cured by ex-
ternal application of carbolic acid.
The persons concerned were very reluct-
ant to submit to the treatment, but af-
ter one or two cures with the acid, and
one or two deaths without it the reluc-
lance vanished and now the carbolic
acid is reported to be in great demand.
The acid was applied to the face and
hands, and next day the eruptions were
found to have scabbed and dried up.
The cures were affected in a few days.

Henry WARD BEEOHER, 10 his ale Coiieee
rourse of lectures on Preaching (now attracting

Most reyiyalisls that have known are men
with immense bellies and immense chests anu
BIZ under heads. They are men that carry
pro., deal of personal magnetism with tneni'
..an,uon, magnetism, too, and they have

This Enlightened Age. >

A'S n We.
say it to myself in meekest awe
OF progress, electricity, and steam,
OF this almighty age-this liberal age
That has no time to breathe, or think, O,
dream;
ask it Of myself, with batcd breath,
Casting iurtive glance about the hail.
Our fathers, were their times so pe,y dark
We're they benighted heathens after all?
Had they not their Calico Newton too
And men as great, though not Stephenson
Had they not passabe scholars in fair Greece,
Who traced the paths we deign to walk upon :?
Had they not poets in those dismal days
Homer aud Shakespeare, and few between
Had they not rulers O their barbarous states,
Who scattered laws for our wise hands 70
CLEAN?
Had they not painters, who knew how to
paint
Raphael, to take an instance as we,
With q, ar four hundred years of light the less?
Is Phidias matched in our great century?
And architects? Sure Egypt and old Rome,
And ruined Athens tell Of fair reputes
The Pyramids, and temples Of the Greeks
May vie with our town-has and Institutes
Their marble Venice, with ber dapplcd tints,
Their grey old minister's, strong as chiscled
rocks,
Their Tyroieau castles, lifted high,
May outast all our brck-and mortar blocks.
Aud were there not refnemeuts in those days, |
Aud elegant uXurles Of domestic lie?
read The answer ln the precious things
Whereof these clustering cabinets are rife.
What can we show so beautiful in art?
What new Of ours can match their Wondrous
old
This fragile porcelain-this Venetian glass
This delicate necklace Of Etruscan gold?
And was there not religion, when the Church
Was one-a common mother-loved and
feared?
When naughty souls rejoced to bear her yok,-
When all those grand monastic piles were
reared?
Aud were there not some preachers -Chrysos-
toms,
Whose golden words still liuger like chime
Ot falling echoes in lone Alpine glens,
Amongst the sonorous voices Of our time?
And soldiers-heroes Do we shame theu.
much2
Havo NO. 49, - davS of
yore!
Are they moro Jealous for their manhood now
DO they respect and honor women more
Are they more noble than those good OLD
knights,
Who scorned to strike foe, save IN the face
Who recouked gold as drosS to gallant. deeds,
And counted death far happier than disgrace!
Is life more grand with us, who bask at ease'
And count that only excellent which pays,
Than twas to the stout hearts that wore the
steel
In those dark, turbulent, fearless lighting
days?
