The Pretticst Thing [ Ever Heard

A Good elder, whose mind was al
most totally abs 'rb ed in making money
K was reclaimed from the habit of slceping
! in church as follows;
- The preacher had tried many WAYS to
get the attention of elder A., but every
!; effort seemed to be of no avail. He
q would occupy seat very close to the
. pulpit, throw his head back on the bench
and'take nap as long as the sermon.
This cold Indifference greatly annoyed
the wakeful portion Of the congregation
and more especially the preacher. Know
ing the elders great propensity for mon
ey, the preacher pinned bright green
back dollar to the bottom of his notes,
and before advancing ia his discourse
he raised his notes ia full view of his
now half asleep hearer, and soon got his
entire attention. During the sermon
the preacher kept his notes in his left
nand with the bottom or dollar eide
turned toward the elder, who was now
all attention. The services ended, and
aa usual some asked Brother A. how he
liked the serman. Says he. 1t was tho
prettiest thing 1 ever (saw) heard.'-

The Fate of Carpenters Bill.

The Louisville Courier-Jouy7,al, an intel
ligent Democratic paper, contains in its
issue of the twenty-frst the following well
grounded opinion Of it's Washington cores
pendent as to the final disposition of Car
penter's Louisiana bill:
The probability is that on the motion to
lay the bill on the table there will be q de
cided majority in the affirmative. The
negative vote will comprise all the Demo
cratic and Liberal Republican Senators, and
one or two Republicans besides Mr.. Car
penter; but these will hardly be enough to
prevent the bill being tabled. If, however,
the motion to lay on the table should fail,
vote will be had on Mr.. Bayard's amend
ment recognizing McEnery as the lawful
Governor of Louisiana. This will receive
the Democratic vote, and probably also the
Liberal Republicans; but both combined
would not avail. No administration Sena.
tors vote can be expected for the amend
ment. AS to the Carpenter. bill, should it
come to vote, it is probable that it will re-
ceive the votes of Messrs. Stevenson, Nc
Creery, Cooper, Bogy, Davis, Johnston,
Ransom, MerrimOn, Gordon, Norwood and
all Democrats; Of Messrs.
Schurz, Upton and Fenton, Liberals, and
IF Carpenter, Logan, and some other Re-
Dablicans. Messrs Bayard, Thurman and
he mass of the Republican Senators are
tginst the bill.

warnings were telegraphed to the threat

action by the inhabitants as their Judgment
and knowledge of the danger seemed to
Justify. The system of reports established
by the chief signal officer two years ago, by
which each important city on the principal
Western rivers is notified daily of the stage
of water at the other river towns with which
it has business connections, has grown
steadily in favor and popularity by furnish

trustworthy data tor their guidance in
making shipments. Sufficient experience
appears to have been ALREADY obtained by
the Signal Office to justify it in issuing
river probabilities and warnings, which will
doubtless prove as beneficial to river inter-
ests as the weather probabilities and eau
tionary signals have been to our ocean and
lake commerce during the past three years.
