TIE UNITED STATES SENATE, after
n heated debate, refused to confirm
Mr.. Hayes appointments for Now
York, which would havo superseded
two Of Conkling's friends. Five
Democrats voted with Conkling,
whilo half q dozen Republicans and
tho rest Of tho Democrats present
favored Hayes. Conkllng carried
his point by seven majority. This
is bad blow to tho President,
and he is represented us being worry
angry. 1t is not easy to see, how~
over, how ho can help himself. Had
ho thrown his influence in favor of
seating Butler and Spof1'ord, he
would now havo been ablo 60 ride

Rcsolyed, That the delegation of

Rcsolrctl, That The action Of the

The Priest and the Surgeon.

French surgeon, telydeceased, who was
brusque and unpublished, found, on en-
tering his house one day, an old priest
who had been long waiting his return.
"What do you want of me ?"
al want you to look at this" meekIy
rejoined the priest, taking off an old
wooden cravat, which revealed on the
nape of his neck a hideous tumer.
"You'1l have to die with that" re-
marked the surgeon.

the priest, replacing his cravat, "and

A FEW days since a man in Newport,
r. l., while opening ~quahaugs, found in
one of them a black, lustrous substance
about the size of and resembling the
button from a ladv's boot. He took il
to w or more jewellers, who PRONOUNCED
it to be worthless but not discouraged.
he took 1t to another, who wrote to
prominent jewellers of New York, de
scribing it, and in reply he was requested
to forward it by mail for inspection.
This was done, and the result is a cbeck
for $50 has been received for it. If
proved to be a "black pearl" and its
value would have been considerably
greater but for its being scratched by
the knife in opening the quahaug shell.

stonewaII Jackson.s Religion.

| Col. Kyd Douglas in the Philadelphia Times
The press have done much to give
the public a false impression of the
religious side of Jackson's character.
He was a member of the Presbyte-
rian church, a strictly Christian, lib
eral gentleman. But he was neither
bigot nor Pharisee. He held his
own devotions in secret. lie made
no parade of his religion, nor pressed
his creed upon any one he was not
CrOmwellian in this regard he be-
lieved other paths led to heaven just
as surely as the one he was travel
ing. On his staff were the sons of
clergymen of the Episcopal, Re-
formed and Presbyterian churches,
and some Others who were very
much in the dark as to their relig-
ious faith. The fact is, this Presby-
terian Elder, as he is sometimes
called, became such by marriage.
The first prayers said over him were
those of his pious Methodist moth
er-although it appears i'm his youth
he was not more pious than the av-
erage young men When in MeXi-
co he was nearly persuaded to be
ROmanist. He afterwards was a
member of the Episcopal church,
and finally settled down in the Pres
byterian church, to which his wife
belonged. When the Louisiana
brigade applied for a chaplain, he
recommended that a priest be sent
them, because a large majority We're
Roman Catholics. His own devOut-
ness was illustrated by the purity of
his life, not by professions, and his
simplicity was well known to his
troops. He often attended their
services and prayer-meetings, night
or day, and kneeling i'm the midst
of the same SCARED veterans he had
led in SO many battles, he led them
in prayer to the Lord of Hosts.
When he was thus in camp all noise
was hushed; dropping their cards
and all other amusements, old men
and young gathered around him,
standing and kneeling with uncOv-
cred heads in sacred silence. A
thousand hands would have been
raised to smite the impious wretch
who dared to scoff when Stonewall
Jackson prayed.

SEATED on the extreme end Of a

ct was boy who seemed to have
made up his mind that life was a
sham and happiness myth. He
was solemnly and intently gazing
at a collection of four cabbage-heads,
six beets, peck of onions and three
cucumbers, when along came a
young man and asked: "What ails
you ?'' "Struck ~ was the solemn
answer. . Have eh? How'd you
come out?', 81 was working for
dad at fifty cents a day." sadly ex-
planned the boy on the bench, 81
was the only hand, and thought If
/ struck for dollar day he'd have
to shut up shop and be busted or
come to my terms" And did il
turn out that.way ?'' querried the
other. "Not quite. The old man
didn't seem a bit terror-stricken,
but he bounced me through a win
dow and hired another boy to do my
work at three shillings a day"
What are you going to do about
it" "Wen, / s'pose PIl:have to go
around telling the boys that capital
has ground me into dust" was the
fearful reply.
