THE NEXT SENATE.-The United States
Senate consists now of thirty-nine Republi-
cans, thirty-six democrats and one independ-
ent-David Davis, of Illinois. This makes
total of seventy-six Senators. Three Re
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sargent, Mitchell and
Matthews-have already seen democratic
successor selected. Senators Dorsey, Spencer,
Conover and Patterson will also certainly
be succeeded by democrats; and these
changes, if none others occurred, would
leave the next Senate with thirty-two Re.
publicans, forty-three democrats and one in
dependent. Connecticut has elected Re.
publican Legislature, which gives Repub-
lican in place of Senator Barnum; Pennsyl-
vania has gone Republican, which means
that Senator Don Cameron will be reelected.
No other changes are probable, and the next
Senate will therefore stand democrats,
forty-two; Republicans, thirty-three; and
independent, one,

INEXPENSIVE BURIALs.-The New York
Christian Secretary has practical note on
Christian burial. 1t says 1--WE have seen
it stated that the town of Somers, n. Y.
takes upon itself the responsibility of all
burials within its limits, without regard u
the circumstances of theperson To be buried
Rich and poor, high and low, are treated
alike in the matter, and for -four dollars
sexton, hearse, and grave are supplied to all
alike; so that for twenty years or more
every burial in the town has been performed
by the town ut that cost 10 those able t.
pay" The Secretary thinks that this plan
with some notifications, could be copied
extensively with great advantage.

Effects of Tobacco.

The senior physician to the Metropolitan Free
Hospital, in London, writes as follows - can
testify, from long observation, that the chronic
use Of tobacco, in any form, is a very prevalent
cause of debility and manifold diseases. lake,
first of all. the sense of sight. One OF our most
celebrated London o~pthalmic surgeons tells me
that he is continually consulted by young gentle
men for weakness of vision, caused by smoking I;
and | myself have, in many cases, seen the pro-
longed use of tobacco, especially when 1t IS
cheWed. cause the total loss Of sight. Then
take the circulatory system, and we find smokers
subiect to palpitation Of the heart, and lar less
able to bear up against extremes of heat and cold
than they were before making use OF tobacco.
The use of tobacco is apt to cause a relaxation
of the muscles of the back of the mouth. and
duskv discoloration of the fauces, with hoarseness
from congestion of the vocal cords. The over
whelming majority of cases OF cancer OF the lip
are found in men who smoke, and cancer OF the
tongue has often been said to be caused by the
irritation of the fumes of the pipe or cigar.
Great smokers lose, TO some extent, their yIvaclty,
j. e., thew are less vital than they used to be,
and less easily moved by a slight Z stimuli
which might be pleasurable to non-smokers.
They are VIGOROUSLY dyspeptic. L need hardly
refer, indeed, to such a well-known fact. Ihey
are subject to constipation and malaIse; ana
when deprived of their stimulus are more mlser-
able, perhaps, than even drinkers. L must take
the liberty to protest against a custom which has
been i~nveighed against by Brodie, COPELAND.

LYNCH LAW AT SAMoA.-By the arrival of the
cutter Vincent We (FDi Times, December LIST. y
have later news from Samoa. She brought no
mail with her, but we CLEAN that rather exciting
events have been taking place there. 1t appears
that a man named Corcoran murdered a man of
the name of Fox, and that the murderer has
been lynched. From what we can gather it
seems that the victim and his murderer were
drinking together at the bar of an hotel, both
men leaning over the bar. While in this
position, C%0rcoran, without any alteration or
words lat least at this time stabbed Fox in the
groin. The wound proving fatal, Corcoran, an
American, engaged in boating pursuits and of
unenviable character, was arrested by the Ameri-
can Consul, tried before American citizens, found
guilty, and sentenced to be r~elegated to America
to undergo final trial there on the capital charge.
The murderer was then removed to the American
schooner Ada May, then lying in Apia harbor,
bound for San Francisco. We suppose that send
ing to America did not meet the commission of
an unprovoked and cold-blooded murder in a
community which has no law for its protection,
for we learn that a public meeting was held, with
a Mr.. Pritchard presiding, the outcome of which
was a resolution deciding that the murderer
should be executed forthwith. The same evening,
two boatloads of men, bent on speedy retribu-
ton, went on board the schooner Ada May. and
secured Corcoran, brought him on shore and in
formed him that the sentence of the meeting was
that he was to be hung to a tree for twelve
hours. The Rev. DR.. Turner, the resident mis-
sionary, was sent for, and after a few prayers, the
unfortunate man was run up with a double block
and tackle to a cocoanut tree this was repeated
twice, and then the culprit hung for twelve
hours, death being, however, almost instantane-
Ous.

Austin ReUeiM \ prominent citizen, who
numbers many years of married life, was recent
ly seized with a desire to look over his old love-
letters-mementos which had lain at the bottom
of a trunk and had been all but forgotten during
the years that have passed since he plighted his
troth at the altar to the enc whose hand had
written them. He took the letters from their
seclusion with the intention of reading them all
there were about two hundred--hut he only
read two of them. As he finished the second
letter his wife came into the room, and to her
he said My dear, did you ever hear that a
man undergoes an entire change once in every

mentioned, but did not believe it applied to him,
as he had always been the same old two-and-six
