The deadlock continues in the

The deadlock continues in the
Senate.
The Senate was called together
in extra session by the, President
the 4th of March for the purpose OF
acting upon Presidential nomina-
tions. Counting Malone as Dem
ocrat the Democrats had majority.
But Malone proved not to be
Democrat; he joined the Repnbli-
cans, which made q tie-38 to 36-
Vice. President Arthur having the
casting vote. Instead Of acting on
the Presidents nominations, the
Republicans set about Immediately
80 reorganize the committees, to
which the Democrats made very
little objection. They shen at
tempted to remove the Clerk and
Sergeant alarms; but the Demo
Gratis resisted this. And for abont
eight weeks the Senate has been
fighting over this question. On
the surface this appears like a very
small proceeding; but there is q
great deal involved in it. The Re-
publicans' can didates for Clerk and
for Sergeant-at-Arms are Gorham
and Riddleberger, both special
friends of Mahone. With these
| positions they could exercise a
strong influence upon the next
State election in Virginia, and that
is the reason the Republicans are
so anxious to get thera in, and the
Democrats to keep them out. The
Democrats have got the best of it
so far, and they declare that they
will fight it out on this line if il
takes till December. They are
ready at sll times to 60 into execu
tive session and to act upon the
Presidents nominations, of which
there are over two hundred now
pending.
It is very probable that the Re
publican members will yield before
another week has passed.

Who Should Bow First?

Who should bow first? Some author
tiles insist that a gentleman should not
bow to lady until she bows to him.
The auth~r of the American Code of
Manners says that this is all wrong.
GA gentleman should always bow first
to lady, no matter whether she returns
or not If he sees by her face that she
does not wish to return it, he can re-
frain from bowling the next time" This
is ON the ground that "a lady. particu-
larly an elderly lady or society leader.
perhaps, has so many acquaintances that
she does not remember all the Young
men who have been presented" This.
however, does not seem to settle the
question conclusively, for it may be that
the young man has quite as many ac-
quaintances As the lady, even ii an
elderly one. He may himself, too. very
likely he a society leader In fact. very
large number of the leaders of society
at the present time are of what Womb
have been considered fifty years ago a
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES age. Our own
opinion Is, and 1T has been arrived at af-
Ter reflection, that both persons should
bow simultaneously. Perhaps in the
case of very near-sighted persons "a little
latitude might be given, providing the
fact of myopia can be clearly proved by
medical evidence. There is. however
always danger in these exceptions to 80
cial rules, and, therefore, it NAV be
safer for near-sighted persons to bow in
all cases OF doubt, accustoming them
selves to do this with uniform courtesy
whether they are themselves recognized
OF not.

A Great Railway Enterprise.

1t is not improbable that in these days
of great ventures and gigantic industrial
enterprises the Sahara Railway may ell
gage the attention of the enthusiastic
capitalists of Paris, and the money be
provided for the work. 1t is reasonably
certain that o railway would more speed
lily civilize the country than an army OF
occupation, and the display OF such con-
fidence in the resources Of the great con-
tinent would largely tend to draw thither
European settlers in sufficient numbers to
insure rapid development.
Soudan is well watered and fertile
region supporting native population
estimated at $4,000, 600. It's trade is now
conducted by caravans across the desert
The substitution of the railway for this
primitive method of transportation, Is,
according to French engineers who have
examined the country, not so difficult as
it would seem at first view. The desert
tract to he traversed is about 1900 miles
wide. An arid waste where no rain ever
falls, and where for very long distances
there is not q drop of water to be found
upon the surface, presents obstacles both
to construction and maintenance, but
they are not so formidable as the crossing
of lofty mountain chains. The route
through Africa lies along extensive table
lands, and through broad valleys, with
no very high ridges to cross. Our Union
and Central Pacific Railways had des-
ert of equal magnitude to traverse, be-
sides climbing over two great mountain
ranges. From Sherman to the summit
of the Sierras is sterile waste that will
never he inhabited by civilized people.
The Utah oasis, Salt Lake City, is the
only inhabitable spot of any magnitude.
Where the camel bears his load the loco
motive can surely follow.
Even under the adverse circumstances
the Soudanese carry on quite large
commerce with the Mediterranean coast.
Caravans of 10000 camels leave Oran
yearly laden with dates, returning with
barley grown in Algeria. The entire
country along the Niger seems to be des-
titute of salt, and as many as 100, 900
camel loads are carried there annually
from the Sahara SaliDes.
The country is well adapted for the
growth of cotton, indigo, rice, sugar,
coffee and tobacco, and would afford n
good marketfor the sale of manufactured
goods of MI descriptions 1t is estimated
that GO, 900 Europeans scattered through
Soudan would soon train the inhabitants
to agricultural pursuits, and develop
trade of immense proportions New
