v- 1t has been rumored, for some time past,
that Senator Copkling was about to withdraw
from the United States Senate. As be will soon
be on speaking terms with none of the Senators,
his withdrawal will become almost matter of
necessity. Any Senator who dares to take issue
with him, incurs his mortal hatred. Blaine
foored him in debate when they were both
members of the House, and be has not spoken to
Blaine since. Morton faxed him in the Compro-
mise debate, which SO badly buckeyed him that
he does not speak to Morton. At this rate, he
will soon be 90 exclusive that when he wants o
little company, he will have to hire brass band
to play for him, as he did at Cincinnati. Per-
haps if he would resign, and let a real ravenous
Democrat he sent to gil his place, it would not
be half as bad for the Republican party as Q cold
biooded, dissatisfied egotist, nursing his spite,
and watching for an opportunity for revenge.

u The most amusing part of the late Senate
rial contest, the conduct of the little wheel
barrow load of Democrats who happen to be
members. They imagined that they held the
key to the result, and that the Republicans could
not agree upon man, but that their little squad
could dictate the Senator at last. They there
fore resolved to vote solidly and steadily for a
man of their own. Occasionally two or three
would Hy the track, and vote for a Republican,
whereupou party leaders from Atchison and 9th
er parts of the State would hasten to Topeka, to
get them back into the traces. 1t went on thus
until the Republicans got tired of fooling, and
resolved to have an election, when that squad of
Democrats didn't amount to as much as a sand
burr on the tail of q rambunctious bull.

II Godey's Ladys Book for February 10 very
complete and successful number. Its fashion
plates are unequalled in number and beauty. It
adds music to engravings. and poetry to fiction,
and gives its fiction an antiquarian and patriot
ic charm, well as that variety and sprightli-
ness which are needed to translate instant into
permanent pie asure. The practical department.
devoted to feminine work and household duties,
has been commended by such long success that
any change is near an impossibility; and the
Armchair, attractive enough to solace more
years and cares than the book ever knew, is re-
plete with excellences that have the spirit of
youth and the judgment of age. No other work
has ever catered for female taste fraction of

management when it turns its near Centennial

CHRIST SHOWED AsIDE.-Jesus Christ once said,
dit is easier for camel to go through the eye Of
Q needle, than for rich man to enter the King
dom of Heaven Many persons suppose this
law 10 still in force True, it has never been To-
gally repealed, bnt it is a dead letter. Ii is
only necessary for the rich man to pension some
avaricious preacher, and he will, when the rich
man dies, shove Christ aside, and set the rich
man down in the midst Of Paradise. Commodore
Vanderbilt recently died. He had lived q wick
ed, grssping, hard hearted life. So that he got
money, he didn't care how it came He gambled
in stocks, crushing the fortunes of others to in
crease bis own. He was reckless Of the life and
health of the public, 50 that the monopoies
which he controlled made money. He rarely
performed disinterested public or charitable
act. He was a desperate blasphemer, aud main
tained his selfshness to the last. But, fortunate
", he left the Rev. DIR. Deems a little legacy of
$4,000. Henry Ward Beecher, with all his faults,
has way Of hitting the truth squarely on the
head. In . sermon, he gave an opinion as to tho
road Vanderbilt had Travelled, after he left this
life, according to the guide post set up by Christ
This brought up DR.. Deems, in all the power of
his indignation and so, 1000, who, in his next
mon, stuck his fangs through Beecher's bootleg,
berated him sadly, and asserted, (the declaration
of Christ to the contrary Notwithstanding that
Vanderbilt had gone to Heaven. But if he has,
what is the use Of Hellf None at all; except
for poor people, who have no legaciss to leave.
For few thousand dollars, any wealthy hog can
suborn some reverend hypocrite to bulldoze him
into Heaven, in spite of Christ. II he could,
he would pull Christ out, to get reserved
seat for the rich robber who LEFT him legacy.

Blue" by Lucia Chase Bell, stirring Minneso-
Ia winter story. Mr.. Vim. NJ. F. Round follows
with "Child Marian Abroad" in which Marian
has very funny experience in trying to see
Queen Victoria. Mrs. whitons exquisite poem,
"A Little Child's Fancies" is exquistely illns-
trated by full-page drawing from the pencil of
Miss L. e. Humphrey. There are many other

sy and Bossy are ''truly" girls, the little daugh-
ters of "truly" minister and everything told in

article by Mrs. Fannie Roper Feudge, "My Visit
to the Birth place of the Samese Twins" The
serials, "Qunnebasset Girls" by Sophie May,

SLIGHTLY IN ERRoR.-We think Web. Wilder,
of the St. Joseph Herald is slghtly mistaken in
stating the position Of Mr.. Plumb on the Lane
question. He says Plumb was Anti-Lane and .
friend to Gov. Robinson, in the early days of the
State, but that Notwithstanding this. Gov. Rob
inson voted against him for Senator. We per-
sonally know that Plumb considered Lane o
fraud of the first water, bat he carried this
into open action. In politics, he never concern
ed himself about Lane, and never let his private
sentiments interfere with expedieucy. He never
fought Lane, and accepted any advantage that
might come from the Lane party. He was q
member of the Legislature that impeached Gov.
Robinson; voted for the impeachment, and was
placed at the head of the committee selected by
the House to conduct the prosecution.
And this reminds rs of an error which we find
in Wilders Annals. Hnot mistake there, then
the Journals of the House for 1862 are false. 1t
is stated in the Annals that the House voted
unanimously in favor of the impeachment of
voted distinctly and emphatically No upon the
resolution, and if the Journals do not show it,
they do not show the truth. The five negative
votes were given by Ed. Russell and ourself, of
this County; Dickinson, of Wyandotte; Mar
cell, of Franklin; and either Wells, of Pottawst-
tonne, or Rip Van Winkie, of Atchison, we forget
which, as We have not got the Journals. There
were originally twelve outspoken Anti-Lane
members of the House; but when Sid. Clarke
succeeded in ousting old Judge Smith from his
seat some of them lost backbone.
