with the people who are to sit as judges
upon your acts. You have undertaken
to unseat u man in this body. But you
will deny that you have undertaken the
iob-you have simply undertaken to
investigate the case of a Senator on this
floor; that has been decided by the
highest tribunal that could act on his
position. Sir, there are twelve Senators
on that side of this house that every
man on this side believes have poorer
titles to their seats than the honorable
Senator from Louisiana has TO his. BY
fraud and violence you occupy your
seats. Now show us the road how to
vacate seats in this body il you dare.
Mr.. Eaton called Mr.. Chandler TO
order, but the Chair held that he was
in order.
Mr.. Chandler resumed as follows: |
think every Senator on this side of the
Chamber believes that there are twelve
Senators on that side who hold their
titles to their seats upon a simmer,
poorer basis than my honored friend
from Louisiana. That is what | in
tended to state that it was our belief
and il was my belief that their seats
were obtained and held by fraud and
violence. That is what | now say. But,
Mr. President, did not rise to discuss
this question. l simply rose to say to
the other side, you have your day in
court; make the most of it. Your time is
short. The people of the North have
taken this question in hand, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from one
end of this land to the other, the people
are aroused and alarmed at the state
ments that have been made and the
actions that have been taken in this
Senate Chamber and in the other House
within the last sixty days. Let me say
to you, gentlemen on the other side of
the Chamber, Meme, meme, tekeI up
hGrSin' is written all over your brows.

A Toothache Saint.

In the Roman Calendar the patron
saint of those afflicted with toothache
is found in st. Apollonia. She is
specially invoked by racked sufferers,
according to Bishop Jewel; and the
Fantastic of Idolatrie," printed in
Foxes "Acts and Monuments, has
To Saynt Syth for my purse;
Saynt Love saue my horse;
For my teth to Saynt Apolyne.
In the Royal Library at Stockholm is
preserved a manuscript charm for
toothache, consisting of Latin PRAYER
to this saint. At Bonn -the-Rhine a
tooth, said to have been one of hers, is
shown in glass case in the church on
the saints day, and is devoutly kissed
i. G., the case containing the tooth,
not the precious relic itself-by people
of both sexes, as a preventive against
toothache. One of the most popular
charms against the complaint consists
in carrying the following form of words
somewhere about the person: "Ass
SAINT Peter sat at the geats of Jerusalm
our Blessed Lord and Sevour Jesus
Crist passed by and sead, What Eleth
thee hee sead Lord my Teeth ecketh
hee sead arise ane follow me and thy
Teeth shall never FAKE Eny moor
Fiat+ FiattFiat." This is transcript
of n Lancashire version, and should be
worn inside the vest or stays over the
left breast. Under slightly differing
forms this charm is very common
throughout England, Scotland, and
Ireland. Two copies are preserved in
the Edinburgh Museum which were
worn as late as 1855 and 1869. Another
form of written charm was given up by
young woman at Chelsea to the late
Cardinal Weld. 1t was carefully sealed,
the penalty for opening it being the re-
turn of the toothache, and consisted of
the words:
Good devil, cure her,
And take her for your palms.
A cure the girl would probably dislike
at the cost. Bishop Hall, in his char
acter of Virtues and ViceS, says of the
superstitious man: He wears Par
aclesian characters for the toothache."

The decision of Judge Dundy, at Omaha, in
the Standing Bear hdbcdS corpus case, in which
he virtually declares the Indians citizens, with

Secretary Sherman, In response to a letter
addressed by Secretary Schurz, inquiring
what amount of funds can be made available
monthly for the payment of arrears due upon
pensions allowed prior to Jan. 25, 1879, states
that, including the amount already paid,
81, SOC, 600 will be available prior TO July 1st,
and S2,000,000 monthly thereafter. At this
rate nearly the whole of the next fiscal year
will be required to complete the payment of
these arrears. The Commissioner of Pensions,
in view of this, has issued a circular letter,
saying comparatively small number OF cases
only can be adjusted monthly, and, therefore,
some delay may occur in the settlement Of
claims.

LET THE BEDS BE AIRED.

1t is bad plan to "make up" the beds
Immediately after breakfast The sleeping
apartments in the house should be aired
every day. Beds should be opened every
morning to the sun, and to the atmosphere.
Do not be in too much haste to get the
chamber in order. Let the sheets and
blankets be spread over separate chairs,
the mattresses lifted apart, and the pure
morning air be allowed to get into every
nook and Granny of the room, before the
beds are made. Better endure little de-
lay in getting the house in order, than loss
of health.

secondly. that h0 should be protected from his
accomplices. Both conditions were granted:
upon which Michnilow unburdened his soul,
denouncing Turikow and disclosing the latter's
place OF solourn-Geneva. He further declared
that he had been drawn into the conspiracy by
