Horace Greeley,s Grave.


On tbe crest Of Locust Hill, in
Greenwood Cemetery, is the grave OF
Horace Greeley. still unmarked, and
apparently uncared far. There is no
mound over it. the line between
the new laid sod and the old only
distinguishes it from the rest OF
the bill. An iron park stool has
been placed at the foot of the
grave, and small Fourth of July flag
and the old cane Of the great editor
are byit At the head Of the grave
are the remains of floral offerings and
another faded flag. The spot is. diff
cult to find, and the only information
that laborers can give is that Mr. Gree
ley's grave is over by the fountain
somewhere. IF the trifies that mark
it were removed, the exact spot of the
grave would soon become obliterafed

Weights Of Boys and Girls.

Upon an average, boys at birth weigh
little more and girls little less than
pounds. For the first twelve years
the two sexes continue nearly equal in
weight, but beyond that age the boys
acquire a decided preponderance.
Young men of 20 average l3J pounds
each, while young women average 10
pounds each. Men reach their heav
lest when about 10 years of age, when
their average weight will be about | 10
pounds; but women slowly increase
IN weight until 30 years of age, when
their average weight will be 100.
Taking the men aud women together,
their weight at full growth will then
average from los to $50, and women
from 50 to 100. The average weight
OF humanity all over the world, taking
all ages and conditions, working men
and women and persons without occu-
patton. black and white, boys. girls
and babies, is very nearly 100 pounds
ayoirdupois weight.

How the Senate will Stand.

While the party in power will no
longer WELD its compact and trium-
plant majority Of two-thirds III the
Senate, it will unquestionably hold,
until 1876, large majority in that
body. Giving to the Democrats every
State which has pronounced in their
favor in the recent elections, there are
still not enough of these States chOOs-
ing. Senators the coming winter TO
change the majority in the Senate. In
thatbody, as il stands ut present. the
Republicans have fifty votes, the Dem
ocrats twenty, and the Liberal Repub
licans three, while there is one vacancy
in the representation from Louisiana.
The Republican majority is, therefore,
at present, twenty-seven, IN Senate
consisting of seventy-three members.
The Republican States that have gone
Democratic, and have elected or will
elect during the coming winter, Sena-
tors of that faith. are Connecticut, In
diana, Missouri, New York. Pennsyl-
vania, Tennessee. Texas, Virginia and
West Virginia. To these must be ad-
ded Louisiana, and possibly Michigan.
Adding these ten votes 10 the present
Democratic and Liberal Republican
ones, we have total opposition vote
in the Forty-fourth Congress of y,
after dedueting one Liberal Republic
can vote in Nebraska, which will elect
an orthodox Republican 10 the Senate
ia place of Upton. The Republican
strength in the next Senate will prob
ably be n, possibly one less. which
will give them - majority of II in
place of their present one of % This
majority. although not great, is sufic-
lent for all practical party purposes
and it cannot be disturbed before the

third of the Senate viii go out, and

Feather Beds and Lightning.

A general impression prevails that
feather-beds are non-conductors of
electricity. Our old friend, DIR. w. b.
Wood, bears testimony to the fact that
they are certainly protection. Many
wears ago, and when he resided in
North Carolina, his dwelling though
apparently protected by Lightning rods,
was truck by lightning aud the house
was literally torn to atoms. The charge
ofelectricity passed down a chimneynet
protected By rod, aud passed into the
rooms and tore bedsteads TO pieces on
which members of the family were re-
clining on feather beds, and not an in-
mate of the room in which the charge
PISSED was hurt or even shocked
Those not on beds and remote from
the part Of the house thatwas stricken
were severely shocked. 7 So it seems
our scientists are right in asserting the
nou-conducting and safe properties Of
feather-beds in an electrical storm

GENUS rushes Ike whirlwind-
talent marches like cavalcade of
heavy and heavy horses-clever-
ness skins like swallow in the sum
mer evening, with sharp, shrill note
and sudden turning. The man of
genius dwells with men and nature;
the man of talent in his study, but the
clever man dances here, there and
everywhere, ike butterfly in hurri-
cane, striking everything and enjoy
ing nothing, but too light to be dashed
to pieces. The man of talent will at
tack theories, the clever man will as
sail the individual and SANDER private
character. The man of genius despi-
ses both; he heeds none, he fears
none, he hives in himself, shrouded in
the consciousness of his own strength;
he interieres with none, and walks
forth an example that eagles fly alone
they are but sheep that herd to-
gether.' 1t is true. that should a
poisonous worm cross his path he may
tread it under his foot; bat he will not,
can not attack the privacy of another.
Clever men write verses, men of talent
write prose, but the man of genius
writes poetry.
