The friends Of Woman Suffrage are
keeping the u. s. Senators busy presenting
petitions. After large number had been
presented by Senators from the several
states, Senator THURMAN, OF Ohio, arose
to present six petitions from ladies Of his
state, and said he was "induced by the
parliamentary rule which says yOu ought
net send child to nurse that cares not
for it - therefore lie wished 10 refer these
petitions to different committee from that
to which the previous ones had been pre-
s,nted Committee OF Privileges and Flee
tions), believing this committee would not
report favorably on them, and, desiring to
give the ladies' two strings to their how, y
he moved the petitions he referred to the
Committee on Public Lands.
This stirred up the visibility Of the Sen
ate, and after short discussion and the
order Of the Vice President to call the
roll for vote on the question, Scrator
THURMAN Withdrew his motion.

CANTO SIXTH.

CANl U SlAll.
Dame Straysr by the table sat,
BAthed in sweat profound:
And fourteen stNlwari knights were met,
Zach it'll his stomach sharply set,
And seated III around.
Each knight was armed with pewter pla.s
and massive w00d n spoInj
nd each one knew, that spite Of fate,
Hrs turn would come at any rate,
nj that tO0 very soon.
And for to keep these knights at work,
huge dish held the means;
Containing forty pounds oi pork,
AS good as ever hung on iork
Aud full three pecka uf beans.
Squire Strayer was the leader bold
Of all this goedly clan;
Ana De lhev young, or be they old,
In summers heat aud winters cold,
l"a'll find no better man.
Beside him sat a red I-hairsd wight,
sam Howard was his name:
BY evening beam ur morning light,
Meyer was builder Irencher knight,
Than him who bore that name.
- Then came Bill Br"adswnrd, bald Of head,
Anc lean and lank Of limb;
But strong aud stn"I Ia lie in bed.
Ani eat he'd eat his weigh 0s lead,
Nor would it injurr him.
Then HerrIekS, Merricks. eaters good,
Most lrshchanl treneher-mrn,
w nv y hTN no III but lack 0I ttOd,
Nor cared much IL twas bad nr znod,
10 that II Game o them.
Then ruse the Squire and screW'd his face,
To say a snlemn s'iTt nf grace,
But all II w"uldn't do:
The savOry sm'll "f pork aud beans,
Reeking abroad in spicy streams,
Aw"ke oi lite such glorious dreams,
His face would still unscrew
And Yet when did the smell beguis
His solemn irnwn ut1 smile,
lie would begin again;
Till uring of the vain essay,
lie gave pmmind ia accents CAV,
TO all his friends, tn ''peg away"
did command in vain
Then rushed the heroes To the Rht
Aud righ aud LETT nd lett and right,
An instant and uu high;
The massy wI"den spnnns did seem,
Adore the cIrcu nlambiHnt steam
To east h,lul transient gleam.
Then plunginR dnwu, were seen to rsam,
Aud IN the deep Ia ic
Then sturdy gllsIenlng knives wore drawn,
The pork WAS swift IN sunder sawp,
aud pieces here aud there;
And hand and elbow, chin and laws,
Ohedient to great Natures laws
Rushed 10 tie work, ard without pause,
Made present work their care
The Squire cnmm. need the glntinus Unrk
With iull three = unds of broadsde pOrk,
Ana snnn Z was very plain
That this with beans, fsur quarts or murs,
Would be To him but scaniy store,
lie musi como back again.
Hours passed away, still nnwaTd-OD-
The battle seems but just begun.
But grows more turinus still;
But welding knife aud sp on aud fork,
Each sill gets warmer in his work,
Aud strives with stronger Will,
And thus they bore the battles shock
Till very nearly four o'clock,
When, bark n shout arose
Tho enemy has gone is fed
His very last have vanished -
Thus did the battle close.
Far where nn toes are left behind,
'Tis fUOl0h sure Ia light,
However kloIious ne may find
II is To guard the right.
Thus ended the great nd stirring SCIENCES
Oi ghe furious Battle Of Fork aud Beans.
CONCLUSION.
The battles fought. the victory won,
The deeds achieved, the labor dOus
The ancient Sy bills pIophesy,
Made plain as the sun in the upper sky,
And all are happy that right has ooms.

A Thrce-Eyed Boy.

Quite wonder has lately made its APP
pearance about eight miles north of New
Bremen, in the shape of a fine boy with
three eyes and but one ear. The par
ents are young couple who came here
to reside from the eastern portion of
Anglaize county, about eleven months
ago, and have been married little more
than that period, The parents were as
founded to find on the right side of the
face an eye and an ear in their proper
natural position, and ON the left side Of
the face another eye in its natural posi-.
ton, and about an inch further around
on the left side of the head third eye,
all in perfect form. but no ear where the
ear ought to be, the place for the lief,
perfectly smooth and solid as any part
of the head. The boy is healthy, sound
and as bright boy baby as can be. The
eyes are perfect in sight and action
When the eye on the left side of the fac,
opens or shuts its twin does the same
both seeming to be controlled and oper
ated by the one set of nerves.
