WEDN ESDAY, JAN. II, 1875.


The past week has been busy one
In the Legislatures of several states
with the question of Uuited States
Senators. In New York, Senator Fen
ton, Liberal Republican, is succeeded
by Francis Herman, a prominent law
yer of Utica, aud Bourbon Democrat
of the deepest dye. Michigan has
overthrow Zachariah Chandler, latter
an eighteen years career In the United
States Senate, and be is succeeded by
Judge Christiancy, of the Michigan
Supreme Court. Judge Chrisiiancy's
election was effected by combination
of the dissatisfied Republicans and Dem
ocrats, notwithstanding the new Sena-
or's Republicanism, is vouched for,
and he will ever be found true to the
party interests. In Missouri, Senator
Carl Schurz has found the political
grave he assisted SO materially In Dig
ging for himself General Cockrell. a
Confederate General in the late rebel
lion. has carried off the Senatorial prize.
In this manner have the Democrats of
Missouri repaid Senator Schurz for the
part he has played for several years
past in endeavering to break up the
Republican party, and add to the sue
cess of the Democrats. Senator Tip
ton, of Nebraska, is succeeded in the
United States Senate by exGo, ernor
Paddock, sound Republican. Joseph
Mcdonald, after protracted struggle,
was elected United States Senator in
Indiana. Mcdonald was one of the most
virulent copperheads during the War,
and is specimen of the kind of men

days of reform Henry DAVIS was
elected Senator from Massachusetts, aud
wears the mantle of Senator Sumner.
Maine reelected Senator Hamlin to

No SENATOR CHosEN.-A ballot
has been taken in each House this
morning, and it is now certain that
there will be no Senator elected TO-DAY.
Mr.. Carpenter had Is votes in the
Senate and 46 in the Assembly--a
majority in neither House. He re-
ceived 50 votes--precisely the same
number which be received in the Re-
publican caucus on Friday night. It
now looks as though no Senator would
be chosen at this session, for reither
the Democrats nor the two divisions
of the Republican party are likely to
yield their favorites.- Wisconsin Jan.

Canon Charles Kingsley.

Last sumner Canon Kingsley visit

Unlike many other Englishmen, he

PRECEDENTS.

The Democrats all over the country
seem terribly exercised over military
interference in the Louisiana Legisla-
ture, and throw up their hands in holy
horror, as if it was an unbeard ofthing.
Franklin Pierce, a Democratic Presi-
dent. used the United States military
forces in the streets of Boston, to arrest
a negro who had fed from slavery
James Buchanan, Democratic Presi
deot, dispersed Legislature in Kansas
with United States troops; General
Mcclellan broke up legislature in
Maryland with the United States army
This action of Mcclellan was subse-
quently Endorsed by the Democrats OF
the country, when he was their candi-
date for the Presidency in 1864. AS
far back as Jackson time, a United
States Judge was arrested by the mill
tary, by the order Of "Old Hickory
and what democrat has aught to say
against this Democratic precedent?
These are hard nuts for the Democrats
to crack, and only show how ridicu-
lous they make themselves in creaing
such a fuss over the military interior
ence In Louisiana.

His face is deeply chiseled by the
burrowing hand of time. His eyes
are slightly bleary cheek bones stood
out as prominent as those of Sioux
chief. Iron-gray W.iske rs, short and
s5ubby, closely trimmed down from the
base OF his jaw-bone, grow upon his
thin neck. His dark hair is yet a
dark iron grey, and is worn quite long.
1t is comhed well forward and hangs
down in front Of his ears. A well
worn beaver set well back upon
his head; bright scarlet COM
forter;a grey tweed light oyercoat,
and dark suit Of underclothing made
up the general articles of his attire.
He looks like whimsical, fussy old
man and little like the hero of the

ing the Presidential campaign of 1856
always represented him with long curls,
in the garb Of a Western fIontiersman.

Suppose a Case.

"LET us suppose CASE said Uncle
Peleg to little group. Suppose two
boys live in houses just alike, and
dress just alike, and go to the same
school; so, if you wanted to, you
couldn't tell which was the best OIL
Suppose they keep right along together
till they're twelve years old, and help
each other so they'll be sure to keep even
all the time.
"Well, suppose after while one BOY
finds new friend that tells him he's tied
to his mothers apron-strings, and he
never'll be IA man till he can do as he's "a
mind to without asking anybody. Girls
ought to be at home evenings and behave
themselves; but it's different with boys,
this new friend says. Suppose, now this
had bow, who wants the other to be just us
had rs he is. pulls piece of tobacco out
of his pocket and tells our boy he must
learn to chew the stuff before he'll ever be
of any account and then they try 1t together
till somebody's awful, sick. But suppose
that somebody made up his mind to keep
on trying, and, after IA while his mouth
gets so case-hardened he don't know to
bacco from sugar plums.
"Now, suppose our boy grows saucy to
his mother-just as he would OF course
and bimeby he takes glass of liquor to
keep the tobacco company-and well
matched company they be, too. Then he
smokes and swears, and swaggers ana
staggers till you couldn't tell where ne
started from If he earns any money, he
spends it as fast as he gets it, and growsto
be such dirty fellow l wonder any nice,
clean girl will have him near her.

&" Moderately-GOOd Steppers."

A.GooD joke is told of wealthy New
Yorker, with an eye fora good horse, who,
shortly after betaking himself to his sum-
mer residence on Long Island, in April
last, was sitting on his piazza one fine
morning, and noticing II pair of fine
steppers that were being driven on the
road in front of his house. The team con-
sisted of bay and gray mare, and the
driver was an unassuming, quiet, we'll
behaved young man. The New Yorker
noticed them again on the following day,
and was more impressed with their fine
style and graceful step, and he decided at
once to buy them. Accordingly, on the
next day he stationed himself at his gate,
and when the team came jogging by he
signaled the driver to stop. "That's a
pretty fair team you drive" says he.
Yes, they are moderately good steppers,' y
was the response. Are they for sale ~
asked the New Yorker. - Well, yes;
would sell them," was the rather hesita-
ing reply. "Send them along down the
road and back, SO that l can see how they
move" says the New Yorker. Up and
down they were sent a few times, and at
length the gentleman seemed satisfied, and
signaled The driver to pull up. Il like
them,'' said he, pretty well, and Will buy
them if the price is not too hi what do
you ask for them?' Sixty five thousand
dollars was the reply, very coolly given.
The gentleman opened his eyes and mouth
in establishment, and Charley Green drove
off with Lulu and Fleety Golddust at a
9 :25 gait, leaving the old gentleman to
wonder at the high price of good, fair
roadsters.-Spirit Of the Times.

Now, suppose this other boy that lived
in a house just like his, stuck fast to his
mother, and thought he'd see what kind
of man he'd make that way Suppose
he didn't swear, nor smoke, nor chew to-
bacco, nor drink liquor Suppose when
he earned money he spent for something
he needed, or else saved it for a rainy day.
and when lie was twcnty-onc he looked
about IL clean as one of you girls. Sup
pose, now, these two boys live To be thirty
years old, which do you think will be
most of man -
THE one that minded his mother and
didn't get dirty replied little Sue, who
had listened so intently that she did not
notice the boy, who retreated further and
further from Uncle Peleg while the "sup
pose WAS being told.
" That's right, my dear; and suppose
there's one here that's got started wrong,
the best thing he can do is to go home,
wash his mouth, and do as near as he can
as his mother wants him to. Good moth
ers are the best friends boys or girls can ever
have."-YOuth's temperance Banner.

Correct Speaking.

WHAT is it to speak correctly? 1t is to
accustom yourselves to speak and write
accurately, having especial care 70 use no
language or utter no statement that is not
elegant and strictly truthful. Avoid the
use of slang words and phrases. They are
odious, and no amount of personal grace
in the speaker can compensate for the dis
agreeable effect that the use of slang has
upon the nearer. When once this habit OF
using these "pet" phrases has been formed
it is almost impossible to eradicate it.
Youth is the best time to acquire correct
language. 1t does not require wealth; the
poorest can obtain this faculty. And how
BY using the language of books-in other
words that which one reads; form the
taste from the best speakers and writers !;
treasure up choice phrases and accustom
ones self to their use. But do not fall
into the opposite error of selecting only
that which is pompous and high sound
ing. for that will make one ridiculous.
But choose that language which is terse,
expressive and clear; and the habit of cor
rect speaking soon becomes fixed and
makes it a pleasure to listen to you.-
