The Senior Member.

The oldest member Of the United
States Senate is Simon Cameron, OF
Pennsylvania, who first took his seat In
1845. His service, however, has beer
rather fitful, and amounts altogether to
only seventeen years while Mr.. Ham
lin, of Maine, whose first entry upon
Senatorial life was in 184S, has seen
twenty one years of work upon the floor
and four years additional in the chair as
Vice President. Mr.. Anthony, of
Rhode Island, comes next, having en-
tered the Senate in 1859, and had con-
tinuous service of almost seventeen
years. Messrs. Lot M. Morrill,, now
Secretary of the Treasury; Sherman, of
Ohio, and Howe, of Wisconsin, entered
the Senate together in 1861.

James Gordon bennett, of the New York
"HeraId., PubIisly CowhLied.

James Gordon bennett, OF the New York
"Hersld,' Publicly CowhLded.
New York (Jan. % Cor. Chicago Tribunel
James Gordon Bennett was horse
whipped this morning by the brother of
Miss Nav. Bennett was to have been
married the day after Christmas. He
did not appear. A new arrangement
was made, to-day being fixed upon for
the ceremony, at which Cardinal Nc
CIoskey was to officiate.
Everything was in readiness and the
couple were to sail Immediately for Eu-
rope in the Russia. Again the groom
failed to appear. When the hour was
SO long past that it became evident that
Bennett meant to play truant, Fred.
May started forth to avenge the insult
offered his sister. He went to the
Union Club House, at Fifth avenue and
Twenty first street, and met Bennett or
the sidewalk.
Without word May drew a rawhideand
struck Bennett three blows, making cuts
on his nose and above both eyes. The
two men clenched, and were separated
by some of the members Of the club,
who took Bennett inside.
May walked down to his home on
Nineteenth street.
The affair has created large excite
ment. Bennett will challenge May.
Dueling men are discussing the point
whether, under the Southern code, q
challenge from cowhided man is 10 be
accepted, and favor the defamation by
May of any proposal from Bennett.
This is the first time Bennett has been
thus attacked. The fact is recalled that
his father was horsewhipped three times,
and that once Tom Hamblin, of the
Bowery Theater, held the elder Ben.
nett's mouth open and spat in it.
There are different stories about the
engagement and proposed marriage.
Benefits friends claim that the match
was broken off some days since, and that
no day was fixed for the marriage.
Friends of the May family assert tc
the contrary, and charge that Bennett
went on a spree Tuesday night, and was
so drunk that he was obliged to remain
in bed till IL o'clock this morning,
whereas he should have been married
and on his way to the steamship before
that time.

command at that city, and through Mr..
Sohleicher, of Texas, have laid their grievances
before Secretary Fish, urging the interposition
OF the United States Government to protect
their property.
The horrors Of Ashtabula do not appear to
be fully revealed. The investigation shows a
startling discrepancy between the estimates of
passengers and of railroad officials as to the
number Of people on the train. Some passen-
gers place it as between 200 and 800, while the
railroad men, who ought to be the better
judges, fix the number at less than $50.
Another revelation il that passengers were
robbed, II is stated that 81 900 was taken from
one corpse, and that living men struggling
away from the wreck were met by thieves and
forced to give up their valuables.
Another ocean disaster, happily resulting il
small loss Of life, Is reported. The French

other people on board, some 200 in number
were rescued by the life-saving crew stationed
near the scene Of the accident.
Still another ocean disaster is reported. TIL,
steamer Montgomery, plying between Havana
and New York, collided with the steamship
Seminole off Cape May, N. j., and sunk in 81
minutes. Four passengers and nine Of the ere,

Gov. Grover, of Oregon, in his testimony
before the Senate Committee ON Privileges
and Elections, stated that, in giving a certif-
cate to Cronin "a an elector, he acted in con-
formity with the constitution and the best
legal authority he could procure. He received
a letter from Judge Hoadley, Of Cincinnati, in
which four authorities relating TO cases Of in
eligibility Of persons to Office were cited. 1t was
a three-psge letter, and was received at the ex-
ecutive Office about u week before the witness
rendered his decision in the case of Watts.
He received a telegram from ex-senator Gwn,
stating that certain prominent legal gentlemen
thought Watts Ineligible, and he wanted to
know by what time the question had to be set
tied. Abram Il. Hewitt OF New York, sent
witness a communication in which two decis-
ions in Indiana, one in Maryland, and one in
Pennsylvania, were cited ss being applicable
in Watts case. Manton Marble Of New York,

case, and witness answered that he then had
the case under consideration.

Innocence Mt Home.

Mark Twain looks like anything but q
humorist. Two deep wrinkles between
his eyebrows mar O face otherwise as
fresh and fair as boys. His slight
figure, his nervous way of twitching his
hands and stroking his mustache, sug-
gests a modest clerk or an overworked
bookkeeper. He rarely laughs, at least
openly, although his friends say he con-
stantly grins internally at the funny
people ana situations that force them
selves on his busy in.-Harttord
Letter.

Red Noses.

According to an English authority,
redness of the nose in both sexes is pro-
duced by inattention to the common
rules for preserving health. With men,
the bottle is the predisposing cause;
with women, and especially the young,
tight lacing. An unnatural pressure on
the waist and chest obstructs the circu-
lation, and causes stagnation of the
blood in that prominent and important
feature, the nose. Constantly cold feet
is another cause.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chicago
Inter Ocean gives curious theory re.
garding the cause of the catastrophe at
Ashtabula. He argues that the peculiar
condition of the atmosphere contributed
largely to the accident, and that under
certain atmospheric conditions great
care should be exercised in throwing
enormous weights on iron structures.
