fhe Massachusetts, Senatorial Va
cancy.

Dispatches and letters have been re-
ceived here from Massachusetts, indica-
ting that the Legislature will continue
to vote daily for Senator, but that there
is no likelihood of arriving at choice.
It is stated that there is an expectation,
if not a tacit understanding, that no
choice will be made by the Legislature,
and that body will adjourn, leaving va
cant the unexpired term of Senator
Sumner. As the vacancy occurred while
the Legislature was in session, the Gov
ernor can have no chance to appoint a
successor, as would have been his duty
in the event of the death of Mr.. Sum-
ner during the vacation of the Legisla-
ture. If the above expectation should
be realized, it is predicted that the live
lest and hottest personal political con-
test ever known in Massachusetts, will
ensue this summer, as there will be in
volyed not only the Governorship, but a
new Legislature witch will have to
elect United States Senator for the
long term, six years from the 4th of next
March

The word lady is compounded of two
Saxon words, leaf or lcf, signifying a
loaf Of bread, and dian, to give, or to
serve. In olden times it was customary
for those families whom God had bless
ed with affiuence to give away regular
ly portion of bread or other food to
poor families in their respective perish
es and neighborhoods, and on such oc-
casions the "lady" or mistress of the
household distributed the daily or week.
ly dole. Hence she was called the 'laf-
dy" or the "bread giver," and it is prob
able from this hospitable custom
that to this day English ladies carve and
serve the meat at their own tables.
