WoMAN's AFFEcTIoNs.-W Washington Irving
wrote: As the dove will clap its wings to
its sides and cover and conceal the arrow
that is preying on its vitals, so it is the
nature of woman to hide from the world
the pangs Of wounded affection. With her
the desire of the heart has failed. The
great charm of existence is at an end.
She neglects all the cheerful exercises that
gladden. the spirits, quicken the pulse and
send the tide of life in healthful currents,
through the veins. Her rest is broken. the
sweet refreshment of sleep is poisoned by
melancholy dreams, "dry sorrow drinks
her BLOOD" and her feeble frame sinks
under the last external assailant. Look
for her after little while and you fint
friendship weeping over her untimely
grave, wondering that one who had Sc
lately glowed with all the radience o
health and beauty should now be brough
down to darkness and the worm" Yol

no one knows the mental malady that pre-
viously sapped her strength and made he

Accident in Mt. Holly.

A Mr.. Dawley, wife and daughter, met
with an accident on their way home from
Ludlow, when crossing the railroad near
the summit station, by some strange freak
or short turn with the horse, the sleigh was
tipped over, throwing Mr.. and Mrs D.,
out, injuring them slightly about the head,
but it is thought not serious. The horse
then somewhat frightened and at liberty,
started with more speed to reach home, but
fortunately our station agent, who is al
ways at his station, stopped the horse, then
ran to see If any one was injured. He
found Mr.. D. lying in an inSensible condi-
ton, carried him to the depot where he
soon came to his senses and inquired what
had happened. Mrs. d. was able to care
for herself, aud after getting some refresh
ments went rejoicing on their journey to
their home in BOwlville. The daughter

Objections offered to Louisiana.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
A special TO the Troy Times says the
joint convention re-asssmbled at exactly
II o'clock. There was a very full attend
ance, the galleries being especially crowded
as 1t was expected that there would be a
very exciting debate when the two houses
separated. The decision Of the trlbun.l in
the Louisiana case, covering four pages of
foolscap, was then read. Upon the con-
clusion of the reading the vice president
called for objections TO the decision when
Messrs. Randall and Gibson Of Louisiana
sent a formal objection to the desk. Jt
was signed by large number Of demo-
cratic senators and representatives and was
read by the clerk of the house,
PLAYING TIE DILAToRY GAME.
An hour was required to read the protest
TO the counting of Louisiana. AT the end
of that time the great majority of demo-
cratic members who had not signed their
names came to the clerks desk to do 1t.
RElTkRATlNd THEIR PkOIESIbs
II was 1915 o'clock before the demo-
cratic representatives had concluded sign
ing their names to the main protest. That
done, the additional protests were filed, re-
iterating the formal objection already
made. One OF these were signed by
Thompson of Massachusetts, and another
was signed by the thirteen members who
voted in the caucus Saturday to filibuster 10
March 4, to defeat the presidential count.
FILIBUsTERINo MOTION.
AT one o'clock the senate Withdrew from
the joint convention, and after prayer and
the reading OF the journal, Fernando
Wood, leader of the filibustering party,
moved tina. the house take recess until to-
morrow at ten o'clock a. m.
TIE FIRE EATERS VICTORIOUS.
The recess until tomorrow was ordered
by vote Of 140 yeas to 100 nays. The
democratic leaders say this does not indi-
cate an intention to fillibuster, but Is tenn
porary concession to the tire eating element
of the party. Another democratic caucus
was Immediately called to meet this after
noon. An attempt will undoubtedly be
made to reconsider the action Of the caucus
on Saturday.
DEMOCRATS PLEADING AN HONEST PURPOSE.
The democrats say that one purpose of
the recess was to enable the new counsel
to more thoroughly prepsre the Oregon
case, as there has been change of counsel.
Another reason was that there might be a
fuller representation than there was at
the caucus Saturday night. On all hands
it 10 denied that permanent flhbusterng is
contemplated. Some democrats have a
forlorn hope that there may be republican
opposition in the senate TO accepting the
decision of the tribunal.
