SENATE.

The Twenty session of the Min
nesota Senate convened yesterday at II
o'clock, noon, it being the first session of
the legislature under the amendment to
the constitution providing for biennial
sessions. The Senate this year is cOmpos-
ed of ten Democrats, thirty Republicans
and one Greenbacker. Ofcourse the offic-
ers are all Republicans. There are many
faces to be recognized which are familiar
to legislative halls, either at the session
Immediately preceding the present one
or at some earlier session. The Senators
are chiefly men in middle life, with a
small admixture of younger blood which
will probably enliven the deliberations of
that body and impart an air of more Wig
or and enterprise than was manifest at
the election of officers. The election of
officers was chiefly conspicuous for the
general apathy of the Senators and
the candidates themselves. Even
Gen. Jepnison marched up
and took possession of his
prize without the slightest mark of en-
thusiasm or qualification upon his usually
mobile cOuntenance. The same may be
said with reference to all the officers
elected, and when the chaplain was NOM
mated, so little did anyone seem to care
whether chaplain was elected or not;
that after time the lieutenant governor
announced that Senator Castles motion
to elect Rev. Robert Smith chaplain of
the Senate would be taken as the sense of
the Senate unless objections were made,
thus leaving Rev Smith no nearer an
election than before the motion was
made Notwithstanding the air of lazi-
ness that seemed to cling to all the Sena-
tors, it is a body of men of natural good
sense and fair amount of cultivation
and refinement, in whose hands the in
terests of the State may reposc with a
large degree of confidence. The Senate
concluded it's organization and appointed
the usual committee to wait upon the
governor and inform him of the fact, and
Senator White has the honor of introduce
ing the first bill of the session. About
the close of the session it was informally
announced that the governor would de-
liver his biennial message at IL O'Clock
on Thursday.

THE CHRIsTIANCY SCANDAL.
Publication of Mrs. Christiancy's Letters
to the Man Giro With Her ExpIana-
ton of the Compromising Documents

Publication of Mrs. Christiancy's Letters
to the Man Giro With Her ExpIana-
ton of the Compromising Documents.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Thc Washington
local papers, this morning, published under
the New York telegraph heading series Of
letters purporting to have been written last
spring and summer by Mrs. Christiancy to
Edcl Berto Giro, whose name is coupled with
hers in the Christiancy divorce proceedings.
These letters are of a very loving character and
contain numerous appeals to Giro to come for
ward and testify for her protection against
the charges made by Mr. Christiancy's coun.
sci in regard to their alleged i'm
proper intimacy. Accompanying the
letters are also several written to
II Mr.. Jackson, whom she implores
as friend of Giro to exert his influence 10
induce Giro to come forward and aid the wo-
man he had compromised from the consc-
quenccs of what she terms ~ thoughtlcss but
great impudcnce."
This evenings Star publishes an interview
with Mrs. Christiancy, in which she gives her
explanation of these letters and the history Of
her acquaintance with Giro. She says among
other things, that she declined many written
requests of Giro to be permitted to come to
see her at Washington, but finally went with
the railroad depot on his arrival
from New York on the strength Of the asscr-
ton on his part, that he was about to visit
Peru, and that knowing there was much talk
about her there, he wished to hear her side of
the story to defend her. She says she didn't
accompany him to the hotel, but subsequent
ly she and her lady friend dined with him at
restaurant. The next afternoon ut her moth
er's house he urged her TO obtain a divorce
and marry him, but she declined. He came
back late in the afternoon and told her
there had been woman with
him at the hotel that after
noon, that some one had said it was Mrs.
Christiancy. That Mr.. Christiancy and his
friends were prosecuting her, and she must
marry him. She replied that Mr. Christiancy
and his friends might drive her to death, but
they couldn't make her marry him, and she
never would. He then left but returned in
the evening and threatened her that if she
didn't marry him he would say she was the
woman Of the St.James and ruin her. Being again
refused he swore vengeance upon her for hav-.
ing scorned him and finally became so violent
that to pacify him she said she woull marry
him.
Mrs. Christancy further informed the Star
reporter that Giro then returned To New York,
and she then wrote him retracting her prom
Use. He persisted in claiming its fulilment,
and some time afterwards she learned
that Mr.. ChristaDcy's counsel intended to
institute divorce proceedings against her on
the ground Of improper intimacy with Giro.
She took the advice of friends and wrote him
the series Of letters now published merely as
means, by pretending to be in love with him,
to avert his carrying into effect the threats
which nc had made in Washington, and 10 in
ducc him 10 give a truthful testimony for her
protection.

fused to hear The petition sent in asking
for the place for Il ''man and brother. !"
and though three members declare they

HOUSE.

The organization of legislative body
is always tedious process, and yesterday
was no exception to the rule in the House.
Upwards of an hour was consumed in
swearing in the members, and another
half hour was occupied in ratifying the
Republican caucus nominations for Of
fcers. The speech Of Mr.. Fletcher ON as
suming the speakership had one great
merit-brevity 1t was wholly nOn-com-
initial. The usual objection was made to
the election of chaplain, but as the law
requires such an officer he was elected. A
few resolutions and motions of no special
interest were acted on, and an adjourn
ment had till 10 o'clock this morning
The personnel of the House is better
than that of its immediate predecessor.
For the most part the members appear
intelligent and wide-awake men who
come with a determination to do the
work allotted them in an expeditions,
business like manner There are few
exceptions among them, and some two or
three who seem determined to make a
noise during the session though possessed
of very little powder to burn. These will
get their eye-tecth cut before long, how
ever, and will probably subsidc before the
session is half over.
Active work will not commence before
next week. The governors message will
not be read till Thursday, and it is doubt
full if the committees can be formed be-
fore Monday next.

The Poetry of Farming,

It is in strict accordance with the ma
ture of things that Will Carleton, who
has written such sweet ballads of farms,
farm life and families, never owned a
farm, never lived on one, and never had
any wife or family. No man who ever
lived and worked on farm could ex-
tract poetry from breaking your back
with scythe, wearing out your running
gear behind pillow, breaking unruly
steers, milking dirty cows with the mer-
curry below zero, picking dead sheep in
winter, and sleeping in the barn in sum
mer to get rid of the mosquitoes. There
is no poetry about it. I'll leave that to
any farmer. The only people who can
get poetry out of farm life are those who
never saw it, and the imagination of
such would extract an epic from the life
of a car driver
