One of the last as well as one of the
neatest hits made by Gen. Butler, just
before the close of the last session in
Congress, occurred during the famous
deadlock fight on the Civil Rights
Bill. The question OF adjournment was
under consideration, and Gen. Butler
had stepped over to Mr.. Randall's
desk for a private consultation. Butler
favored a Sunday session. Randall OPP
posed.

Senator Eaton. of Coz. necticu,. is tn

Senator Eaton, of Connecticut, is the
boldest advocate of State Rights the
country has seen the war. II appears
that his family is pretty well indoctri-
mated wit h his sentiments. The fol-
lowing anecdote, related by the Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Globe, is quite to the point: An anus
ing incident occurred the other day.
Mrs. Gen. Gordon, the charming wife
of Senator Gordon, of Georgia, was sit
ting in the Senate gallery with Mrs.
Eaton, the wife of the new Senator
from Connecticut. By birth and edu-
cation, Mrs Gordon is an aristocrat,
brought up with as strong perjudices
against social equality with blacks as
any one could be. Turning her head,
she saw Fred. Douglass in the gallery,
quite near her. Thinking Mrs. Eaton
would like to see so celebrated man,
she said to her: Fred. Douglass is sit
ting directly behind you!' Good gra-
cious you can't mean it here in the
Senator'S gallery p responded the hor-
rified Connecticut lady. 'Why not p

Beauty of JeWesses.

1t is related that Chateaubriand, on
returning from his Eastern travels,
was asked if he could assign reason
why the wenCn OF the Jewish race
were so much handsomer than the
men, when he gave the following:
"Jewesses, he said, shave escaped
the curse which niighted upon their
husbands, fathers, and sons. Not
Jewfss WAS to be seen among the crowd
of priests and rabble who insulted the
Son of God, scourged Him, crowned
Him with thOrns, and subjected Him
to infamy and the agony of the cross.
The women of Jutiea believed i'm the
Saviour, and assisted and soothed Him
under affirtion. 4 woman of Betha-
ny pOure,i on His head precious oipt-
ment, which she kept i'm alabaster va
ses. The sinner anOinted His feet with
perfumed Oil, and wiped them with
her hair. Christ, on His part, extend
ed mercy to the Jewesses. He raised
from the dead the son of the widow of
Main, and Marta's brother, Lazarus.
He cured SjnCn's motherin-laW and
the woman who touched His garment.
To the Samaritan woman He was
spring OF living water, and compass
sionate Judge To the woman of adulte-
ry. The daughters of Jerusalem wept
over Hin; the holy women accompa-
MED Him to Calvary-brought Him
balm and spices-weeping, saw Him
at the sepulchre. "WOman! why
weepest thou?" His first appearance
after the Resurrection was to Mary
Magdalen. He said to her, 'Mary!'
At the sound of His voice Mary Mag
delen's eyes were opened, and she
ansW cred, Master! The reflection of
some beautiful ray must have rested ON
the brow Of Jewesses."
