MARRIAGE.-The following is trans
lation from German paper. The SEN
tlment is good, and we give it for the
benefit of our young English readers:
Marriages are usually contracted to
crafty one of three desires, viz: Love,
fortune or position.
The man who marries for love, takes
a wife; who marries for fortune, takes
mistress; who marries for position
takes lady. He is loved by his wife
regarded by his mistress; tolerated by
his lady. He has wife for himself; a
mistress for his household; lady for
the world and society.
His wife will take care OF his house
hold; his mistress of his house; his
lady of his appearance. If he is sick,
his wife will take care of him; his mis-
tress will visit him; his lady enquire
after his health. He takes walk with
his wife; ride with his mistress goes
to party with his lady. His wife will
share his grief his mistress his money
his lady his debts. If he dies, his wife
will weep; his mistress lament; and
his lady wear mourning.

The boy lay in his little bed,
Though oft his mother Called
"Get up! Come down to breakfast. Fred"
"Get up!' his father bawled.
Yet quiet and serene he lay,
AS though he heard them not,
Opossum did the youngster play,
Though things were getting hot.
The time passed on-he did not start!
But took another nap;
His father up the stairs did dart,
And gave his door rap.
He cried aloud, "say, Freddie. say!
Why don't you leave your bed!'
But silently young Freddie lay,
AS though he were quite dead.
"Speak, Freddie" once again, he cried;
For must soon be gone,
And-but lusty snore replied
PAS patience nearly gone.
Up to his face quick ran the blood,
He tore his auburn hair,
A moment at the doorway stood
In still, yet deep despair.
And shouted again, with thunderous knock,
"Young scoundrel, do you hear?"
While in the hall loud licked the clock.
That grated on his ear.
With angry push he opened the door;
And slammed it to again;
With noisy strides across the floor,
To the bed he walked amain,
Then came sound like threshing wheat,
Or butcher rendering steak;
Hear scream! hear means! hear scamperin
feet
All, Freddie is awake.
A ringing bell a mothers call,
Nay sometimes rouse lad;
But the only sure thing. after all,
Is father when he's mad.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON Jan. 24.-Thc Democratic minority
of the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions has completed its report on the Bulcr-COrbin
contest. After giving brief history of the case,
the minority says that i'll considering tins petition
the facts which have been presented to the COM
mittcc are precisely the same which presented
ON the former consideration of the case
Not a new fact has been presented nor
offered TO be presented, and not an
old fact has been Withdrawn modified, nor offered
TO be withdrawn or modified. The petition now be-
fore the committee it says, is sheer, naked
nropositiOn that The Senate at subse-
ouept session shall revolt the identical
questions, facts and issues on which the Senate
voted and decided at former session. Without go
no into tedious and unnecessary review OF the au-
thOries and cases TO be found 1.-THE books the MIN
ority deems it sufficient TO say that no demand like
that contained in the petition of Mr.Corbn was ever
granted by the Senate nor by any legislative
body. If on the forme hearing, 1t continues,
Mr. COrbin had been denied the privilege
of introducing material facts which he offered to
nrodnce. or If he had presented material facts
now which were then unknown, or If all the
facts and questions of law now known and
sented, the minority would not undertake To say
that his petition for rehcaring ought
not in Justice and right to be heard gfayey and con-
sdcred on the merits. But, as Mr. Corbn himself has
suggested no new facts or questions OF law are pre-
sented and the minority does not regard his petition
for another vote as entitled to further consider
alton.
There is no controversy, say the Democrats be-
tween the contestants about the facts AMI the onl
question presented is of law The only real ques-
ton is whether the House of Representatives, OF the
! Legislature which elected Mr.. Corbn was q legal
House or legal quOram OF House. under the Con-

off the discussion The question which elected so
mich debate was not whether the Brazilian subsidy
should be granted not whether the ranking PRIV
ilege should be restored, but whether the House
had treated tho Senate with proper dignity IN re-
fusing TO consider the amendments, and IN case
that treatment was unparliamentaTy what ought TO
be done about il.
There were two leading opinions expressed. The
ono expressed by Mr.. ConklinG and the Republicans
generally was to adopt Mr.. Fcrry's resolution, to
authorize new conference to consider the matter
and to ignore the slight the House had put upon
the Senate in not even considering the action Oh
that body. The other, supported by Mr.. Thurman
and the Democrats, was to authorize or instruct the
conferees on the part of the Senate 10 rccede from
one or more of the obnoxious amendments. The
debate which followed had largely TO do with precc-
dents and the construction to be put upon rules of
procedure which have obtained between the houses
from the foundation of the Government. Mr.
Humans motion that the Committee of Confer
ence which might be chosen on the part OF the Sen
ate should be instructed by that body 10 fake GER
tain action, drew from Mr.. Coukling cauStic
reondcr to the effect that TO instruct inii, 1air
and free conference contradiction oil terms
aud was only to be characterized as the most uttcr
nonsense. Mr.. Thurman understood the word non
sense to apply to his proposition and then NJ.
Conkling made an elaborate explanation. III Whirl
he diSclalmcd any intention 10 undelrate the souHu-
ness of his friends views.
Tie debate became quite general, AMI was re-
licved by several brisk passages at arms between
the cOmhatants. At length OH motion oi MI ia,
munds, the matter Was referred TO SPECIAL
committee.
