A YOUNG man in Jefferson county
who had won the affections of a
young lady, in defiance of the par
ents' will, adopted a summary means,
the other day, to obtain the object of
his hearts choice. Procuring Ii
cense and the services of the neces-
sary legal authority, he shouldered
his rife and marched boldly TO the
abode of the young lady's pa
rents. Meeting the father in the
yard, he proceeded in as few words
as possible to state the military
necessity" which would render an
appeal to arms necessary. He then
called the young lady to his side
and the twain were united under the
very eyes of the impatient and un.
willing witnesses. Let us hope that
the armistice thus vigorously en-.
forced may lead to treaty of peace,
which in good time will be duly rat
flied by the high non-contracting
parties.

IT is really too bad that when our
Legislature wanted to make a "mash"

and nobody know where they were!

The following verse contains every
letter in the alphabet:

Except with zeal we strive to win,
Gods Just and holy love,
We cannot conquer strife and sin,
Nor walk with him above.
A greater curiosity, however, is
the following, which contains every
letter except e, the character most
frequently used:
A jovial swain may rack his brain,
And tax his fancy's might,
To quiz, in vain, for It's most plain
That what say is right.

IT is again proposed to create
a high military Office to tempt
Grant from the Presidential prize.
1t IS thought that if made Captain
General, with lifelong pay and big
allowance, he may be induced to
step down, unless indeed he may
think the Office of President will be
continued to him indefinitely, or
that the proffered military bride may
be attainable after third term.

The Next Senate.

The elections OF this year pretty
clearly fore ,hllow the po,it.'.
changes in the Senate Of the Il :,
Congress. The Senate COZ ;ists %
seventy-six members. In the pcJ-
sent Senate there are forty-th''f
Democrats, including David Dav;s
and thirty-three Republicans. Tie
former have majority Of ten. Tie
terms Of twenty-five Senators expire
on the ith of March. 1851. OF these.
fourteen are Democrats and eleven
are Republicans. Eight of The Dem
ocrats are from the South and six
from the North namely, Eaton of
Connecticut, Herman of New York,
Randolph Of Nm Jersey, Wallace
of Pennsylvania, Thurman Of Ohio,
and Mcdonald Of Indiana.
The Successors Of the eight South
ern Senators will probably be Dem
ocrI;s, Though there is "a bare posi-
bilIty of change in one Or two in
Stances. The recent elections show
that the six Northern Senators above
named viii have 10 give way to Re-
publicanS, excepting perhaps Mr..
Nc onald.
Among the eleven Republicans
whose terms expire with this Con.
gre,s is Mr. Bruce, the colored Sen
ator from Mississippi. He is sure to
lie succec ded by Democrat, while
the seats of the other ten are GER
tain to he filled by Republicans.
Taking the foregoing facts for the
basis of this calculation, the next
Senate will be composed of thirty
eight Democrats, counting Judge
Davis as a Democrat. and thirty
eight Rerublicans-a tie. If Mr..
Mcdonald should be succeeded by a
Democrat, and there should he no
slip in the South, then the Senate
would stand thirty-nine Democrats

II is the firm conviction Ct rejecting
people that it would be one of the
most dangerous ,teps that could be
taken by any national Organization

free institutions and to The liberties

this feeling, that N my Republicans,
while taking an active ralt i'll the
recent ovations to tie Cx-PIcsidyLt,
object to his nomination for the
Presidency and would not vote for
him if lie should become the candi-
date OF their party.

y BILLIARD tournament recently
held in New York was conducted
under rules which made the game
practically new one. Experts had
become SO proficient at rail-nursing
that, with view of diminishing
large runs aud forcing experts to
play more around the table, these
rules were adopted: A line is drawn
across each corner of the table, and
within the four triangles thus formed
it is permitted to make only one car
ON without sending one of the OBJ
ject balls outside of the triangle.
The games consisted of 800 points
and the prizes, five in number, as-
gregated $4,000 in value.

by usage.
To illustrate the objects sought to
be attained, in a wider sense, we
have but to call to mind the futile
cfioits OF some college bred men to
place their knowledge to practical
account. The disastrous failures
which have resulted, indicate that
something more than book-knowl-
edge is needed TO successfully wage
the battle OF life. We observe men
