Sarah Bernhardt BUrIes.
Gued.

The Vienna people r enjoy
ing a parody called Sarah ct Bern
hardt,in which the famous French
woman is burlesqued to perfection.
Gallmeyer, who is stout as Sarah
is thin, initiates all her faults and
affectations, and excites the most
uprOarious laughter. Sarah's lit
tie trick of exposing he pretty slip
per and still prettier silk stocking,
in the moment of ner greatest az
Ony in Camille, is copied by Gall
meyer, who shows her plump foot
at the proper moment. Even the
ovations which Gallmeyer re-
ceives are parodies of those made
in honor of Sarah. On the last ev-
ening the trenchwoman had re-
ceived a Tyre made Of flowers
which, like Sappho, she held in
her hands. A similar Tyre, but
two yards high, was presented to
Fraulien Gallmeyer who, with
this monstrOus thing in her hands,
affected the same pose that Sarah
had taken with her little Tyre.

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.

The first session of the Forty-sev-
enth Congress commenced on Mon
day. The Republicans organized
the House in accordance with the
caucus programme of the Saturday
previous, when Gen. Kiefer, Of Ohio,
received the caucus nomination on
the sixteenth ballot. Edward Nc
Pherson, of Pennsylvania, was elect
ed Clerk; Col. Geo. w. Booker, Of
Vermont, Sergeant-at-Arms; Walter
2. Brownlow, of Tennessee, Door
keeper; Captain Harry Sherwood,
of Michigan, Postmaster; and Rev.
Frederick d. Power, of Washing
ton Chaplain.
The Democrats voted for Randall
for Speaker, and the Greenbackers
voted for the following named gen
tlemen, who had been nominated by
a caucus held the previous Saturday:
Hon. Nicholas Ford, of Missouri, for
Speaker; Hon. Gilbert DE La Matyr,
of Indiana, for Clerk of the House,;
Lee Crandall, of Washington, ID. c.,
for Sergeant. alarms; IL. Martin
Williams, of Missouri, for Door
keeper; and w. G. Moore, of Penn
sylvania, for postmaster.
Among the various bills introduced
in the Senate at its session on Mon
day, was n for establishing def
mite regulations for the counting of
the electoral vote. This bill should
be pressed until some sound lsgisla-
ton is had that will prevent a re-
currence of the perils of 1861.
Another important matter claim
ing the attention of the present
Congress is the definite settlement
of the questions in relation to the
incumbency of the presidential Of
flee 10y the Vice-President in the
event of the inability of the Presi-
dent. The case of the illness of the
late President Garfield indicated the
Indebtedness of the constitutional
provisions on this point. 1t is neces-
sary for Congress to prescribe by law
what shall constitute inability Of the
President, and thus leave no room
to question the right of the Vice
President to assume the executive
chair under certain circumstances
and conditions.

THE GUITEAU TRIAL is rapidly
coming to a close. The defense
closed its evidence on Tuesday, with
the condition that Mr.. Scoville
should have the privilege of placing
in evidence a series of written ans
wers by President Arthua to written
questions. The President will not
be summoned to the witness stand.
Guiteau became angry with Scoville
for the manner in which he was con-
Quoting the case, and took it into
his own hands, after berating him as
a BOBBY. The court refused to issue
subp9nas for Grant, Conkling and
Jewell, and at this Guiteau became
very angry and noted an exception.
1t is thought the trial will last about
two weeks longer.
