then he ever knew os heretofore. Sen.
ators hsd been enjoying themselves
this fine weather, going to theatres at
night as some of the liners do, and
| others going to horse races. This de-
lay in the South Carolina case was q
reproach to the American senate.
Mr.. Wadleigh, of New Hampshire,
| chairman OF the commits g on privils.
ges and elections, figured that Ii was
not question of privilege to move to
discharge the committee rom further
consideration Of the crede itials on one
claiming to haye been elected senator.
No members Of the com nittee, who
knew what the work had been, would
stand up in the senate and say the
COMMITTEES had been guilty of tardi-
ness. While the senator from Ohio
Mr.. Thurman) was attending horse
races
Mr.. Thurmsn-Yes; l was one Of

Mr.. Wadleigh, resnming--and thea,
tree. the committee on privileges and
elections was hard at work.
Mr.. Thurman--Ifthe committee had
made q report In this case, / would
have been attending to it instead of
the horse races.
Mr. Wadleigh, continuing his re-
marks, said: The cases of kellogg
and Spofford were first taken up by
the committee, and they did not think
it would be proper to lay aside these
cases, and take up another. In his own
opinion this was done to take his case,
from the committee was caused by the
fact that the work of the committee
on the Spoford-Kellogg case was
nearly closed. In one or two days the
committee would be prepared TO de-
eide that case. Upon the republican
side Of the chamber senators supposed
the Butler case would be examined
into and reported upon by the COM
mittee, and not senator had pre-
pared himsetf to discuss IL in senate,
having relied upon the committee to
present the whole case. Hence the
motion Of the senator from Ohio, (Mr.
Thurman was unjust to the republi-
can senators. The committee on
privileges aud elections had shown no
desire TO delay, and he hoped they
would be allowed to report upon this
case, or ut least time should be given
for senators on his side of the cham
ber to prepare themselves for the dis
cnssious. He felt it to be his duty to
object to the consideration of the res
oiution to-day.
The matter, after long discussion,
went over.

CnIliYate the Memory.

Sir Arthur Helps, in his " Life and LII
bors of Thomas Brassey,' the great Eng
lish contractor, urges that in youth
great pains should be taken 10 cultivate
the services Of that most admirable friend
and servant, the memory lie makes the
observation that all men who have great
powers Of mcLtal calculation, or who show
great readiness in speech or action have
made ita practice to rely on memory alone.
They have never condescended to what
Sir Arthur calls " that weak practice of
making many notes"
Among he examples which lie adduces
in favor Of his suggestion is that Of the
late Lord Lyndhurst and the late Baron
Rothschld. Lord Lyndhurst, when one
of the most successful lawyers mt the Eng
lish bar, or while discharglng the arduous
duties of Lord Chancellor, did not indulg ge
in much writing to aid his memory. Baron
Rothschild, though At the head OF Il bank
ing house whose transactions belted the
world, did not rely upon notes on written
materials of any kind He expected his
memory TO do its proper work, and he
never discouraged it by making maHy
notes.
Another example, more favorable TO
Mr.. Helps position than the two he AL.
dutes, is that of Mr.. Hudson, formerly the
managing editor of the New Yorl1Herald.
For years he carried the whole editorial
business Of that journal in his head. For
years he never lost his hold of detail,
never forgot suggestion, or lost sight of
an opportunity, and they came to him by
the hundreds. One day he made note.
From that time his memory began to de-
sert him, and he was soon compelled to
rely wholly upon his note book.
The late Justice Sprague, Of the United
States District Court of Massachusetts,
was another striking example of the SER
vice which memory will do Tor the man
who trusts it. Owing to weakness OF the
eyes, he could neither read nor write Yet
he would sit for days hearing testimony
listening to the long arguments of counsel
and when he came TO charge the Jury it
would appear that not Il detail of the evil
denee or II suggestion of the arguments
had been forgotten.
The suggestion Of Sir Arthur is one
which should be needed by all who would
educate themselves to good Trustworthy
intellectual work.-YO Youths Companion.

crawl out on the solid ice. He had on his
skates, new ones, which had been too
tempting to be carried home in his hand.
although the station master had warned
him we'll
q shall love God as long as I live.
Billy" said Doe, quite solemnly, then.
But Billy was too cold to think much
about thankfuness. He only answered
her shveringly . | thought you'd come,
you blessed old girlr'
And then Doc wrapped her shawl
around him, thinking that it was like one
of Aunt Katy's hygienic baths if he only
had something dry and warm around his
feet. But he hadn't, and she and Billv
clasped hands and started, swiftly rs DOS
sibIe over the way by which he had come,
back to the little station.
The station master was there, sitting bv
a great fire in his rusty old red stove,
reading the P0ineer Press, while he
smoked his pipe. This burly, brusque
man never had been known to take his
hat oft, except at funerals. But he took
1t OIL now after lis sening to the story of
TINS adventure, and made little bow, and
said, with queer wavering in his voice.
Missile, you're true blue. And we'll
name this station after you-' LITTLE
TRuE BLUE.'n
Doe dldn make any sort Of theatrical
demonstrations. She Just sat there quiet
Iy waiting for Billy, while he CHANGED his
wet clothes for dry ones in the station
masters private room. But it did make
her eyes shine, to think Of that station
really being named after her, and she had
always liked to hear people called true
blue"
True Blue 1t sounded so staunch and
soIdierly and true and that certainly was
much prettier than to have called the
place Dorcastown or ThatchervlIe.
Billy had come home on the cars that
evening, with box full Of nice things to
Surprise the folks" There was fan
nels, and shoes, and apples, and colored
crayons, and drawing paper, and dear
little sealskn cap for Doc, and sugar
enough to make beautiful cake regularly
every Saturday, and there were two bar
res Of flour still upon the way. Besides
all this, Billy had brought enough money
~ ~ NiAS NOA@SAl CRAGtlltlb 5LGtl LIiIS. anu
that is just what he intended to do.
Of course they couldn't carry the box
that night but hurried home along the IA
mllliar road around the lake.
Nobody had missed Doc. But Murray
had actually done it-he had poked his
elbow through the paper partition into
the milk pan.
And you may be sure that one of the
air-castles which were built while Billy
and Doc warmed their toes by good fire
in the kitchen stove, consisted of Home
with at least one good solid wall running
through it. They thought there might be
some poetry in living up here among the
free-blowing north winds if one only had
the right sort Of 4 Home.--Urs. Lucja

FRAGMENTS OF LIvEs.-Ihese frag-
ments Of lives, how they strew our dai-
ly path on every side. Not house dc
we enter not a company do we mix with
but we more than guess-aGe kn0U-that
these our friends, men and women, who
90 about the world doing their work, and
taking their pleasure therein, all carry
about them Il secret burden of bitter dis
appointments, vanished hopes, unfnlfilled
ambitions, lost loves. Probably every one
of them, when his or her smiling face
vanishes from the circle, will change it
into another,-serious, anxious, sad
happy if it be only sad, with no mingling
Of either bit erness or badness. That
complete felicity which the young be-
lieve in, and expect almost as u matter Of
certainty to come, never does come. Soon
or late, we have to make up our minds 10
do without it, to take up the fragments Of
our blessings, thankful that we have what
we have and are what we are; above all,
that we have our own burdens to bear, and
not our neighbor's But, whatever it is,
we must bear it alone and this gathering
up of fragments, which am so earnestly
advising, is also a thing which must be
done alone.-M5sS M4liect.

QUESTIONINC:S.

"hy do the children leave us, o our Father
Ihe little children Graded on our breasts
why do our doves lyupward in the morning
While other birdlings sleep within the nest?
Can it be tue that music up in heaven
IA sweeter when their voices join the hymnq
Is richer light to realms of glory given
For that which fading left our homes so dim ?
And can the angels who, all day, are giving
Care to the lambs within the Shepherds fold,
Need as mother needs amid her grievng,
The little ones at night to clasp and hold?
When shall we see again the precious faces
Thatgave our homes such sunshine when they
smiled?
Oh, what shall I'LL the hearts sad vacant places,
Or hush the tones that plead, "Gve back my
child?'
Why must we listen vainly ior the patler
OF little feet at morning on the stair?
And miss the merry sound of childish laughter,
Or genter tones saying the evening prayer?
Why vainly long for kisses, falling purely
From lips that said their good night at our knees
Oh, lie who made the mo ther-heart hath surely
No chiding in His own for thoughts like these.
Fen this how cln we know-Ells hand hath smit
ten
In wrath or mercy? Only lie can tell.
Perhaps in some sweet day there may be written
Upon our hearts this record, Z" 1t is WE'LL
Perhaps the broken harps that thrill and qulver
Through all the night under the hand of pain,
May in the morning Of a glad forever
Wake meath God's touch to melody again.

A plant supposed to be new, has been
found in Nicaragua, which, if what is said
Of it is true, is great vegetable curiosity.
1t has been named Phytolacca Electrical.
1t is said to possess very pronounced elee-
ro-magnetic properties. The hand is SEN
sibly beuumbed upon touching the shrub,
and the magnetic influence is felt at dis
tance Of seven or eight feet. The mag
netic needle is sensiby perturbated, be-
coming more and more so until it reaches
the centre of the shrub, when the disturb
ance is transformed into rapid gyratory
movement. The intensity of the phenom-
enon varies with the hours of the day, and
at.uight it is hardly perceptible. It at.
tains its maximum about two P. NJ. In
stormy weather the energy Of the action
is augmented. No insects or birds have

THE LAST DRAFT FOR MILITIA IN ENG
LAND.-In 1881 William LOVett was with
his wife settled in pleasant home they
had taken some pride in making their
environment as beautiful as taste and
skill with moderate means could secure
for them. Mr.. Lovett had with his own
hand made the furniture Of his home, ac-
cording to the taste of himself and his
young wife One day he learned that a
Young man of his acquaintance had been
drawn for service in the militia, and that
though he had found an abIe-bodied sub
stitute, it was refused, money payment
instead being demanded. His attention
was thus drawn to the injustice by which
the young man was periodically 1eeced or
frightened in this way, and he wrote let
ter to publication known as Carpenters
Political Letters, advising the men so
drawn to refuse either to serve or to pay
on the ground THAT they had neither
voice or vote in making the laws; that as
their labor their only property, was not
protected, they should not be called upon
to arm for the protection Of other proper
ty; and us they had no enemies except
those who enslaved them, they were not
disposed to take up arms against their
friends and brothers" After giving this
advice to his fellow-artisans, William
L0vett was speedily supplied with an OPP
portunity of showing whether he had the
courage of his opinions. With suspicious
promptness his own name was drawn for
the militia, and with equal promptness he
refused to serve, to pay or furnish substi-
tute. The constables at once entered his
house-their plans had evidently been
premranged-and stripped it Of its furni-
ture, of everything. However, there was
considerable excitement about the matter
and it was not deemed by the authorities
prudent that the articles seized should be
at once submitted for public sale in the
usual way; so the little all Of the Lovetts,
incucing that priced furniture which he
hadmade with his own hands, was stored
away for sometime in IN auction mart
and then sold rs property seized for
taxes" But he was more than repaid for
his loss. He petitoned the House Of Com
mons; debate ensued, in which the mill
tia system was strongly condemned by
many eminent men; puplic opinion was
fairly aroused, and did the rest: and so
Lovett's property was the only property
that had 10 be seized to bring on an im-
portant reform and no drawing for the
militia has ever occurred from that day to
his.-H D. ConUGy, IN Harper's Naga-

ARE THE SPARRows LEAVING Cs?-
Careful observers in this city and its
immediate neighborhood are impressed
with the belief that the English sparrows,
about which the authorities have been so
solcitOus in recent years, are leaving for
parts unknown. Whether their migration
is owing To- lack Of food since the recent
continuous snowlalls, to the prosecutions
of the butcher bird, or TO the sea blasts
that prevail so near the coast are ques-
tions that are difficult to settle. But the
sparrOws have certainly deserted the pub
lie grounds, and comparatively few are
seen about residences where the occupants
make IL paactice Of feeding them, A
resident of Cambridge, who has had
leisure to watch the birds, and has kept
food for them on his premises, ever since
| the first snow fell, observed falling Oft
/ of the attendance upon his daily collation.,
| during the last week. and on Sunday, he
/ had, so fur as he observed. but one par
tuker of his bounty. He and others, also
noticed, in the time, large gatherings and
noisy twitters Of the sparrOws in several
sections Of the city. which generally ter
minated by . high soaring Of the hocks,
and their disappearance in the west. Con-
frmation of this movement is given by
/ the wood-lnen Of Weston, Lincoln and
contiguous towns, who report large collec-
tions of strange birds, not snow-birds, in
the depths of the forests, where loosely

A TERRIBLE RtDE.-We have often
heard how persons who were trying to
steal their way over the Union and Cen
tIal Pacific Railroads had secreted them
selves on brakebars. under the ears, in the
firrboxes and boilers of new engines, and
in other perlOus positions, but the eXper-
ence of II man who was recently attempt
ing to dcadhead his way from the East to
this state eclipses anything Of the kind
that has ever come to our knowledge. 1t
seems that he boarded tram ut Omaha,
and after having been elected from several
trains he succeeded in getting to Green
River, in Wyoming Territory. Here the
train-men became more vlIllanL and the
man saw that he would have 10 find n very
secure hiding-place. Accordingly, while
the train men were busilv engaged, he
crawled into the tirehox OF stationary
engine that was standing on Il HAT car, and
which was going through to san Francis
co. Soon after the train started some one,
purposey or not we do not know, shut the
engine door, and the man was i prisoner.
The man ; position was Il terrible one.
He could not set down and could scarcely
turn around, and in this way he rode for
four days and nights, without mouthful
of food or drink, excepting few crackers
he had in his pockets When The train ar
rived at Verdi, Nevada, distance of near
ly nine hundred miles from Green River,
the man managed to attract the attention
of the conductor by scratching on the in
side of the engine with bis .inger-nals.
He was liberated from his awful situation
and was almost dead with cold and hun.
ger and from remaining so long in 4 erlmp-
ed position. lie was properly cared for at
Verdi, and at last accounts he was in o fair
way to recover. 1t is safe to conjecture
that he will walk after this rather than at
tempt to beat his way over railroad--
