WALKER AND KENNA.

HENRY :. WALKER isa candidate for

while JoHN r. KESNN is candidate tor
the regular Democratic nomination for
the same office. Here isone OF WALEER's
digs at KESNA. When the campaign
opens we expect to print some hand
some compliments paid by KESNA To
wAIKER. This won't be a one-sided
fight by any means:
The impression that Congress has al.
iourned is not correct. 10 grew out OF
the fact that Mr.. Kenna returned from
Washington last Friday. Many persons,
suppOsing that a pattern statesman
would not be absent from his post oil
duty while his pay was running on, un-
less seriously i'll, jumped 10 the eOnclu-
sion that Congressional labOrs were
over COR the season. The great legisla-
tive body of the Nation is still in session,
laundering along a. well ~ II can, al
though i'm the absence OF ITS chiei orna-
ment its work doesn't amount To much.
liz seems that a number OF candidates

Senate and COngresS-mcet Monday al
Lincoln &. H., to appoint delegates to
the various nominating conventions
about to be held. IL was impossible Tor
these gentlemen to get along without
Mr.. Kenna's valuable presence and as
sistance, and so he Was compelled reiuct-
antly to wrench himself away from his
work in Washington, to give the odd ma
chine lust one turn IN Lincoln His
paw as Congressman runs on all the
same, but ii gentlemsn's services IN
Congress are worth SIC a day, Sundays
excluded, who would ask him
10 arrange a county conven-
ton for any less, especially when he has
10 ride all day Sunday to get there. Let
no man say this electioneering business
is running into Sabbath breaking. IL
ones OK or ass be found in a pat Il 70
lawful to help him out on the sabbath,
and there is a growing impression that
the Gibson pit falls are troubling kenna
stock a good deal.
To return to the point: The presence
OF our rising young statesman Is due not
10 the fact Of a Congressional adjourn
ment. but to the still more important
fact that the county conventions are
getting in their work, and that Gibson
Is getting very hot in the collar.

King Theebau's Expected Heir.

Extensive preparations are being made
at the palace in Mandalay, Burmah, in
prospect of a coming event, viz the
confinement of King Theebau's head
queen, the Soo-pyah-lat. The Poongees
PRIESTS, Poopaks or astrologers, Baydin
Sayas or fortune tellers, have been duly
consulted, and they have all unanimously
came to the conclusive prediction that
the newcomer will be royal son, and
Theebau has declared that he shall be
the royal heir-apparent to the throne of
the King of the Rising Sun, Lord of the
White Elephant, the Golden Umbrella,
etc.
1t is reported that the cradle which
has j ust been completed, cost the State
nearly two laos of rupees ($lO0,000).
The cradle was first framed with mango
wood and encased with sheet gold inside
and outside. Over this is ornamented
gold work, set with precious stones of
all kinds-diamonds, rubies, sapphires,
emeralds, etc. and the work is said to
be very superior, as it is turned out by
the best of first-class soldsmiths of
Upper Burmah. The arrangements for
fitting up the cradle are as follows: 4
soft bed or cushion covered with green
silk velvetand the sides with embroidered
work. This is the manner in which the
cradle was to be fixed and how worked.
A thick iron rod has been fixed across
the room some twelve feet above the
floor, and the cradle is suspended by
means of golden cords, made of golden
wire, for the purpose of swinging and
to work backward and forward, like
punkahs in your part of the world.
The King objected to the old method
of having the royal cradle pulled by
parcel of old women, so the mechanical
and engineering elements of his king
dom were called into requisition, and
one of the italian mechanics has invented
wind-up machine by which the cradle
can be set going, once wound up for
day or night, or until further orders, to
the great delight of the King. The
royal babe is to be nursed and brought
up in the English style, and for this pur-
pose the sum of 5000 rupees was given
to one of the Sisters of the Convent here
to purchase complete outfit, and it is
said that the Sister has faithfully exc
cuted the order, and the paraphernalia
for the youth has been deposited in good
time. The King and Queen are said to
abhor the sight of Europeans, and of the
English particularly, and yet the forego
ing preparations are after the European
fashion.

Her sharply sculptured lips have just

that we seem to see them move with the

ity OF the pity which is marked so dis.
tinctly in the eyes and lips is in keeping
with the deep sympathy of that WOMAN
hood which, although it has ripened, is
incomplete. This incompleteness, or
rather this mental expectancy and in
sutiiciency of self, is impressed by ma
ture on the sumptuous loneliness OF the
lady, and appears in the suppressed
languor of her broad eyelids, in
the personalities of passion rem
dered plain in the morbidezza
of her marble-like checks, which
have been refined in form and blanched
in tint by the urgency of unprotected

stands unrivaIled. learned at the
American consulate in this city that
glass of the largest size plates and
other descriptions were hitherto exported
to the United States in large quantities
from the manufactures Of Charleroi.
But during the last few years this trade
has been gradually diminished, until now
the expectation has dwindled to zero
On further inquiry | was told at the
consulate that the chief cause of this
diminution was the manufacture of plate
glass in the United States that the
progress in the production of this article
had been very great of late, and the
Belgians are beginning to fear that the
"quick witted Americans" will soon be
sending plate glass to sell in the shops

Embalming the Dead.

Mr.. Kreisman, United States Consul.
General at Berlin, in his dispatch to the
State Department dated October 80,
1879, communicates a description of a
newly discovered process for the preser-
walton of dead bodies. The inventor or
discoverer had secured a patent for the
process, but the German Government,
attaching great Importance to the inven-
ton, induced the patentee to abandon
his patent. Thereupon the Government
made public, through the press, full
description of the process. The liquid
used is prepared as follows: In 5000
grammes of boiling water are dissolved
100 grammes of alum, % grammes of
cooking salt, II grammes saltpetre, 60
grammes potash, and 10 grammes ar
senic acid. The solution is then allowed
to cool and filter To 10 litres of this
neutral, colorless. odorless liquid, 4
litres glycerine and litre mettrylic al
cohol are to be added. The process of
preserving OIL embalming dead bodies
by means of this liquid consists,
as a rule, in saturating and
impregnating those bodies with it.
From | J to 5 litres of the liquid are used
for body, according to its size. The
bodies prepared by this process are said
to retain their form, color and ilexibility
Even after a period of years such dead
bodies may be dissected for purposes of
science and criminal Jurisprudence. De-
cay and the offensive smell of decay are
completely prevented. Upol incision
the muscular flesh shows the same ap-
pearance as in the case of fresh dead
body. Preparations made of the several
parts, such as natural skeletons, lungs,
entrails, etc, retain their softness and
pliability.

Venetian Marriages.

The Venetians have had practical
and strictly business-ike way of arrang-
ing marriages from the earliest times.
The shrewdest provision has always
been made for the good Of the State,
private and public interest being con-
suited the small matter of the affec-
tions has been left to the chances of asso-
citation, and it does seem that Venetian
society has ever dealt severely with hus-
bands or wives whom incompatibilities
forced to seek consolation outside of
matrimony. Herodious relates that the
Illyrian Veneti sell their daughters at
auction to the highest bidder; and, the
fair being thus comfortably placed in
life, the hard-favored were given to
whomsoever would take them, with such
dover as might be considered reasona-
BILE compensation. The auction was
discontinued in Christian times,
but marriage contracts still par
took of the form of public and
half-mercantile transaction. At CON-
paratively late period Venetian fathers
went with their daughters to a great an
nual matrimonial fair at San Pietro of
CASTILLO Cilvolo, and the youth Of the
lagoons repaired thither to choose wives
from the number of maidens. These
were all dressed in white, with hair loose
about their neck, and each bore her little
dover in a little box slung over her
shoulder by a ribbon. 1t is supposed
that there was commonly an understand
ing between each damsel and some youth
in the crowd. As soon as all had paired
off, the Bishop gave them sermon and
his benedictlon, and the young men
gathered up their brides and boxes and
went away welded. This going to San
Pietros, selecting wife and marrying
her on the spot, out of hand, could only
have been the contrivance of straight
forward practical race. Among the
common people betrothals were
damaged with even greater ease
and dispatch till very late day in
history, and in the record of a certain
trial which took place in l443 there is
AIN account of one of these brief and I'M
ceremonious courtships. Donna Catar-
ussa, who gives evidence, and whom l
take to have been a worthless, idle Cos
sip, was one day sitting at her door
when Pietro of Trento passed selling
brooms, and said to her:
"Madonna, give me some nice girl to
be my wife.
AS Donna Catarussa thought at once
of u suitable match, she said
"In faith of God, I know one for you.
Come again tomorrow"
So then both met next day, and the
woman chosen by Donna Catarnssa was
asked:
"Wouldst thou like to have Pietro for
thy husband, as God commands the Holy
Church ?"

And Pietro being asked the like ques-
ton, answered:
"Why, yes, certainly"
And they went off and had the wed
