While tho Senate were sitting all
night over the admission OF Kellogg
and Butler, the same Senators who dis
graced themselves on the night OF the
silver bill vote were in an even worse
condition, il possible. When the final
vote was taken, one of them, an old
and extremely digniied Senator, whose
fidelity 10 the resolutions OF '9S was
never questioned, aud whose Democ-
racy was Unborn, was obliged 10 notify
the Senate that his colleague was pair.
ed, and be did so twice. When his col.
leagues name was called he arose with
difficulty, and the following dialogue
occurred:

"You're wrong ;" "Blaine would vote

tor became confused, and regarded the
Senators around him with profound
contempt, and remarked
"Eh2 min yer own b~uzzness."
But he commenced again:

which the distinguished Senator re-
SPonded:
"Nounce It yourself, then"
After the roll.call was completed,
and other Senator'S we're announcing

Senator got up again aud went through
a similar performance, rather more In.
coherently than before, aud other dis.
tinguisbed Senators stood around, and

A HORRIBLE story 10 going the
rounds about the pPima donna, Clara
Louise Kellogg. Il 10 said that when
Strakoseh was negotiating With knight
Aston, the tenor, the latter observed
that be would be willing, nay delight
Cd, 70 obtain such an engagement, but
that be could not undertake to sing
with Miss Kellogg. He explained that
bic stomach was highly sensitive, and
that q Whit Of onions would have the
same effect upon him as an able.bOdled
case Of sea-slckness. He observed,
further, that Miss Kellogg moved 10
On atmosphere Of 0niOns-that when
she opened her rosy lips-Pineaud,
hPst qualily-to MARBLE her moving
song Of love, there iS . wave
Of onions projected from those
rosy lips before which the
stomach of Knight Aston would
be turned into 3 raging heavIng
sea. he mildly suggested that the re.
lalions between the tenor and the
prima donna are peculiar. They are
expected 10 be constantly embracing
and singing down each others threats,
and that this intimate association be-
tween bis stomach and Miss Kellogg'G
onion.laden breath was utterly out Of
the question. He could not think Of II
he couldn't indeed. 1t seems that az.
ter delivering himself Of these senti-
menis, Mr.. Aston prudently took the
arst steamer for Europe, where be may
rejoice in immunity from the gentle
KelloRR's wrath, and miss the waiting
odors Of her song as well.-[New Or
