a Biz Fight Over Small Spoils.
Homer's epic describing the Bat
tie of the Frogs and the Mice has
heretofore been considered the
most successful blending of the
ridiculous and the sublime; but a
far more fruitful and appropriate
subject for such composition may
be found in the contest now being
waged in the United States Senate.
Called together on the 4th Of March
last in extra session by the Presl-
dent for the purpose of acting upon
his nominations, it has wasted near
-ly the whole time from then till
now in fighting over the spoils Of a
few petty Offices. To decide who
shall be Clerk Of the Senate, Door,
keeper and Sergeant alarms is
entailing upon the country the
heavy expense of long extra ses.

sional animosity existing between
the two sections of the country,
while the coul try at large is no
more concerned as to the politics

than it would be in the election OF
a Mayor of Boston or Chief OF
Police of Chicago. The Republi'
cans, with a majority Of one, refuse
TO go into executive session for the
purpose of acting on the nomlna'

for the Republicans to throw out
the Democratic Clerk, &C., and cut
them off from their pay between

principle involved in the matter.

in it; then why should the Demo

The Columbia and Lexington
WateE Power Company

Raised in Columbia during the
ten days in which books were open
ed there subscriptions to the amount
Of S125,000. The eagerness with
which the bonds are taken puts the
success of the enterprise beyond
doubt, and the Columbia Canal,
which has been the subject Of so
much speculation and legislation,
bids fair to amount to something
practical and valuable at last. The
water power of the canal is i'm
mense, and when fully developed,
as it will be in time, will make Col
.umbia Q second Lowell, and will
prove a great benefit to the State
at large. It is gratifying to know
that the enterprise is now in the
hands and under the control Of
home people, and it will be mat
ter of still greater qualification if
the enterprise can be carried to a
successful issue by the means of
home capital. Books of subscrip
tion have been opened in the va
rious towns and cities of the State
SO as to give all citizens an oppor-
tunity to invest in the enterprise.

| am no prudc, says a writer at Flor

the ladies are going beyond the bound

them naked and not ashamed of it. The
modern ballroom offers simply an eX-
hibition of ladies' limbs. Formerly,
when lady was of so generous u dis
position rs to be anxious to expose her
charms to general observation, oil she
could do was to cut her dress lower
than that of her neighbours but now
she is enabled to 60 beyond this: She
can dispense altogether with sleeves,
and exhibit to the admiring gaze of all
men the vaccination marks of her in
fancy. In addition to this, and her
very low, tight dress, very much tied
back, and which impedes the freedom
of her movements and defines the shape
of her lower limbs as closely as q
bathing-dress, she has to drag behind
her long train of drapery, and runs
the risk of coming to grief with her
light-heeled boots, The question now
seems to be among the fair sex as to
