A HARD BED TO FILL.-The iuni

A HARD BED TO FILL.-The junior
editor of the Gallattin - is noted
for his modestv. When school boys he
and the writer were inseparable COM
panions, probably because We both stood
in such holy awe of 1.-The gals" A pair
of mischievous black ewes would stam-
pede us quicker than a "big dog" One
day Bob" was sent to neighbor Shaw $
to inquire about some straw for filling
beds, and of course the writer went
with him. Mr.. Shaw was the father of
six hateful girls that had rather laugh
at fellow than not, and when We ar
rived they were all seated at dinner. /
lodged behind the corner while Bob
edged carefully in at the door, and with
a scared look stammered, ''Mr. Straw.
can you let me have enough Shaw to
fill nv bed !" "Well, R" said the
old gentleman, glancing around the cir
Gle of astonished faces, Il suppose so;
here are six, beside the old woman; bu.
I'd rather you'd leave her if the girls
will he enough. Take them all and
God bless YOU" Perfect shrieks of
laughter went up from those mean
things. and R took to his heels,
followed by the writer and cries from
the old man to come back and he'd
throw in the old woman too"

Phillips his audience by closing his own
address before 80 and went himself to
Mr.. Phillips lecture, the whole audience
going with him. So Mr.. Phillips opened
his discourse with some compliments to
Mr.. Clay, acknowledging the kindness
all the more because, he said, it was
known how widely they differed, and he
referred to the fact that Mr.. Clay had
said that il q contest should arise be.
tween the whites and negroes, his own
part would be taken with the whites.
The audience then gave three cheers for
Mr.. Clay. 'WelP said Mr.. Phillips, this
then seems reckoned the roll-call on that
side-the distinguished Senator aTd the
white population of the States.' The au.
siience instantly repeated their cheers.
Mr.. Phillips thought himself in a bad
plight for the beginning. of his speech.
but recovered himself by saying: well.

side. Thomas Jefferson says that in the

Capital Notes..

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The House
Military Committee has amended the
bill for Major N. II. McLean's restora-
ton, so as to allow the President to eth
er reappoint him, or reappoint and re-
tire him.
The action Of the House on the Tariff
Bill creates general surprise, and it is
believed by many that the bill will be
passed as amended by the Senate, with
: little effort at defeat. 1t is estimated
that the bill will realize about $50, ,000, GOO
annually.
There will probably be no action on the
mint question, at least not sas to loca-
tion. That a branch mint will be estab-
lished in the West there is little doubt,
however, and it is believed Cincinnati
has the best prospects of any the cities
seeking it.

The organs OF the Bonapartists are in
dignant at the passage by the Assembly,
yesterday, Of Walton's amendment to the
Senate bill.
In the Assembly the Senate bill was
considered in detail, and passed, clause
by clause. The following are its main
features: 1t apportions the number OF
Senators to each Department. The
Seine and Nord have five each, and the
others four, three or two, according to
the population. The Senator'S are to be
elected by Colleges composed OF Depu-
ties of the ssembly, Councils General,
Councillors from Advertisements, Dele
gates from municipalities. Senators
representing Departments and Colonies
are to sit nine years. One-third of their
number must be elected every three
years.
Those chosen by the Assembly are ir-
removable. Vacancies by death, resig-
nation, or other cause before the eXpira-
ton Of the term are to be filed by the
Senate itself. The Senate, equally with
the Chamber Of Deputies, is authorized
to initiate laws. Financial bills, how
ever, must first pass the Deputies. The
Senate may become high court Of JUS
tice to try the President Of the Republic
or his Ministers, or any person accused
of conspiring against the State. The
first Senate shall be elected one month
before the dissolution OF the Assembly,
and commence its duties on the day the
Assembly separates. Clause five, relat'
ing to the appointment of seventy-tive
Senators by the Assembly, was not final
ly adopted.
The bill was fought at every step by
the Bonapartists, and amendment aftel
