An English opinion of the United
States Senate.


The American senate was founded
for a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. aeheck
upon hasty action Of Representatives
to control the executive authority OF
the president, and To uphold the
right OF individual states belonging
10 the federation: in other words,
to protect local interests against I'M
due encroachments from the impe-
rial power. The house Of representa-
tiyes was to represent the Union; the
senate the states composing that
Union. Senators hold their seats Tor
six years representative only for
two. One-third of The senate how
ever, is renewed every two years.
Mr.. Gladstone has described the
American constitution - master
pieceOf human wisdom. Its franz
ers certainly achieved one signal
success they devised "A second
chamber, at once popular and eff
was designed. The senate has fre-
quently thwarted the action of the
house of Representatives yet no
cry has ever been raised against its
privileges, and no American has
ever dreamed of abOlishing it. The
same can hardly be said of any sem
ate in the old world.
The United States senate may be
called the model upper house
France with all the political genius
of her sons, has never been able to
create an assembly possessed of the
like prestige and popularity. The
second republic contented itself with
a single national assembly. Napo-
leon III. re-established dual leg
islature, his senate being construct
ed on the simplest Of all possible
plans. 1t consisted of one hundred
and fifty members, named for life
by the emperor, at his own discre-
tion. Cardinals, marshals, and adj
mirals were also er-o6iciO senators.
As the pope cOnfers the red hat, the
curious spectacle was then presented
of members Of a national legislature
appointed by froeign prince.

The washingtons.

The singular interest which centered in
Brington, Norhamptonshire. England,
some twenty years ago, as the early
home of the emigrant brothers, sons of
Lawrence Washington, has materially di-
minished by the fact brought to light by
Col. Chester, of America, that the long
accepted theory of the emigrants was
erroneous. Col Chester, whose great
work on the Registers OF Westminster
Abbey" is gift of permanent value to
the English nation, and who, by his in
yestigations of the genealogies of the
middle and professional classes has
placed himself above all English rivals,
has shown conclusively that the John
and Lawrence Washington who were
supposed to be identical with the emf
grants of those names really died in
England, so that the first American
Washlngtons, if of this family, must
have been sons of some other of the
numerous brothers whese children have
not yet been ascertained. Though in
possession of many particulars which
point to solution of the question, he
maintains resolute silence till he can
speak the final word. But mean while,
we inger presistently amid the pleasant
scenes in Northamptonshire, where the
name of Washington first came into pro-
minence, and where those who bore it
seem not to have been unworthy of the
honor of being forefsthers of the illus
trious President.

Comets and Bald Heads.

Wriggles haG some teeth pulled, lately,
and took cold in his jaw, which swelled
Until Il looked like prize watermelon.
He poulticed 1t and bandaged it, all to no
purpose, and walked the floor several
nights with it, quoting choice extracts
from Bob lngersoll's lectures, but all with
out effect; it kept swelling. The other
morning he remarked 20 his wife that he'd
give $50 to any one who would hit him q
tremendous thump on it suddenly without
expecting it, to see if il wouldn't burst the
swelling. The dear woman, smiling TO
herself, went and gathered bootjack, and
stepping up quietly behind the old man as
he was trying TO strain some coffee through
his teeth, lovingly inquired:
''Where does 1t pain you most, Wrigl"
''Oh, Lori right here" replied he, as he
turned his jaw up and pointed to the pro-
tuberance.
Taking step back the dear woman
aised the boot jack on high and hit him q
regular bungstarter right in the centre of
the calamity, and smilingly stepped back
to await results The old mans knees
flew to his chin as be shut up like patent
rat trap, and with hollow gloan he rolled
off the chair on 10 the floor. But he was
up in momeut, and as he danced the
can-can, with original variations, his wife
smllingly asked;
''Did 1t relieve you, dearl'
And as he tried to howl out an answer,
old Mrs Pry, who had just dropped in,
beat hasty retreat. And new the whole
neighborhood has 1t that Wnggles has got

The following contribution to the litera-
ture of the prevention of drowning by
floating is made by Prof. Joseph LIE Conte
Berkeley, CAL: The cases of persons who
can really float are of two kinds, viz "a
Those who are very fat, and (2) slender
persons with very small bones and proper
tionally very large lungs. The latter is
my case. l never knew a heavy, m,,scu-
lar, large-boned man without e1cess of fat
who could float. Such men make power
ful swimmers, but are less easy and grace
full in the water than those who are slen-
der.
