THE IMPEACHMENT.
Those who visit the Senate galleries
during the Belknap impeachment trial,
under the impression that they will
witness q solemn, awe.inspiring core
monial, will be sorely disappointed =
Although an impeachment trial by the
Senate Is Of rarc occurrence, IL is not
too much to say that popular curiosity
in the present case has, to great OK
tent, been appeased. SO thick and
fast have developments Of Radical ras-
cality occurred since the incoming of
the Democratic House, that public at
tention has been continually diverted
to tho moro hcinous misdcods Of subor-
dinatc officials in other spheres; and
the burly blonde, Bclknap, has come
TO be looked upon rs a thief Of low de-
gree, after all. On the first and second
days Of the trial, the galleries were
packed, mainly with ladies; (curious
creatures y but, thereafter, the attend
ancc began to tall Off and, on the lst
inst, scarcely two hundred and fifty
persons were present 10 listen TO the
arguments Of the counsel and mana
gers in regard TO which side should bc

closing the discussion on the question
of jurisdiction. Undoubtedly, how
ever, when the trial begins in earnest,
IL It ever begins at all, the attendance
will be materially increased. But the

Mr.. Edwards, OF the House, has introdu ed
u bill to restore to Jackson parish three mile
of the territory taken from that parish to
form tho parish OF Lincoln. This would
make tsse township limo upon which the rail-
road survey. 'npss the northern boundary OF
Jackson. aud woas NleaSa still over four
townships originally In J.ckson a. u par,
OF Lincoln.
Tho bill will doubtless fail to become a
law. even though 1t should pass the House.
Col. Greone, in the Senate, will, of conrse
go dead against it, notwithstanding he was
chiefly instrumental in tho emasculation OF
Jackson, and his influence will prevent its
passage. But something should be done to
right the wrongs OF Jackson. Give Il moro
territory; or abolish the parish altogether
AS 1t stands, 1t il no longer Jackson parish,
but a skeleton.

The Western Farmers Almanac.

It is claimed that the Western Farmers
Almanac, published by John P. Morton &
Co., Louisville, Ky, for forty-nine years,
has reached circulation of one hundred
thousand copies. This is certainly very
remarkable, but whom we como to think
about it it seems to have boon brought
about in a natural way. Jim Fisk used to
say, "Gf you have got good thing, put all
the money in it and all the men on it will
bear, and tho American people will buy it,"
This is what its pu blishers did every year
with the Western Farmers Almanac, SO
That it grew to DO u standard authority.
This year tho prophet Tice makes up its
weather notices, and there are Il great many
highly interesting and practical articles on
such subjects as Jersey cattle and short:
horns, btttter- making, the culture OF small
fruits. tobacco culture, manures, Patrons OF
Hnsbandry, cooperative trade, weather
forecasts; domestic recipes, ETC., together
with the usual budget Of anecdotes. Every
body ought to keep this reliable old almanac
hanging up by the mantel-piece for refer
ence. It's price is only ton cents.
