"If Them'S Bees"

SWEETHEART. AND. I .WIFE.
BY HUGH F. OLIVER.

My lovo, my love was like star
That glowed upon the Evenings brow
But God be thanked, no moro from far
Her blessed beams are falling now.
From far, from far away, she's como,
By sweetest wishes borne along;
And nov. she shines within my home,
Amid the breath of holy song.
To God be praise for every ray
No moro from far, o not from far,
On life's perplexed, weary way.
Forever shines my love-bright Star!

The Mistress Of the Late Car.

The death of the Gar leaves the
Princess Dolgorouki with cheerless
prospect. Although married to him
shortly after the decease of the Ena-
press. the Russian people have never
ceased to regard her as. merely the
Emperor's mistress, and have never
been reconciled to the marriage. fPEe
Czarewitch, who now comes 10 the
throne, cannot recognize her, and the
party that followed her while the
Emperor lived will not sacrifice them
selves To- her, interest. j Everything
considered she is the most scrsly bee
reft woman ID inn Russia: The great
prize she, sought ! for, Through long
years has been snatched from her
almost; az soon as she obtained it.
Obscur;iy or worse must now be her
lot. No creature more wretchea than
a mistress when hes royal lover is no
more. In the case of the Princess
Dolsorouki there will be few to pity.
She met the Emperor in the house OF
her sister in Naples many years ago
| saw he was charmed with her, and
with coolical oulation, followedup her
advantage, fshamelessly yielding her
womanly honor, breaking the heart
of lawful wife by riding through

About the Supreme Court.


IT'S RECENT ORGANIzATIOR-THE NEW sEs-
SION, &C.
It has rarely been the case that session of
Congress or of either House thsreof began the
same day as the first meetingsof the Supreme
Court after the summer vacation. This occurred
yesterday and many went to, the Supreme Court
chamber to see Justice Matthews, the most re-
Gently appointed member. take his seat in the
court Tor the first time. Az he took the oath on
May 18th he did not go through with that cere-
mony again OF course. He entered with the
other Justices at IL o'clock and took the chair at
tne END OF the row on the left at the chief JUS
tice. Justice Harlan up to last winter was the
junior justice by date of commission, but there
are now two more recently appointed Justice
WOODS and Matthews. Since the adjournment
OF the court, owing to the death of Justice Cliff
iord, Justice Miller has become, BY priority of
commission, the senior Justice and takes prece-
dence OF all save the chief Justice
AS the chief justice got a new satin gown for
tne lasC inauguration (hesays he gets new one
only whenever ne is about to swear In new
fIesiueht) a9d Justice Harlan also bought new
one last spring, and those of Justices Woods and
MattneWs are also new of course, (Justice Mat
tneWS wore MS for the first time yesterday
there prooaoIy never were so many new gowns
worn IN the supreme Court at the same time.
me materlai OF these gowns is an excellent
quality OF satin de Lyon, except that OF the
cnlei Justice, which Is satin de Chine. None OF
the other Justices are privileged to wear satin of
that grade, for as is well known satin de Lyon
Is merely q satin finished silk

Democratic Senators Caucussine,

THE CONFERENCE TO-DAY AND YESTERDAY
The democratic Senators met in caucus at the
Capitol this morning, at 10 o'clock, and re-
manned in session about an hour The COM
mittee appointed at the caucus yesterday even
ing to examine the credentials of the three new
Senators reported that they had found nothing
on which to base objections to the admission of
the new Senators on the p1inad fdcie evidence of
their credentials. Their report was promptly
adopted by the caucus, which soon afterwards
adjourned. The caucus last evening selected l..
@. c. Washington as their candidate for
secretary.
THE SECRETARYSHIP QUESTION.
The democratic Senators met in caucus again
this afternoon to further discuss the advisablity
of going into the election of q secretary now.
Some of the democrats insist that it is as much
the duty Of the party to proceed now with
the election of secretary as it was to elect a
President pro tenn. The caucus, which met at
1:30 m, had this question under consideration,
and also the question as to whether or not COM
mittees should be formed at this session. Sena-
tor Edmunds proposed that the committees be
reformed as they were last session, except that
Mr.. Bayard should I'LL vacancies. The demo-
Gratis insist upon half the committees and will
probably determine % demand that much.

The Gossip .AhOat.

CABINET RECONSTRUCTION AND THE LIKE.
Amid the gossip and rumors afloat the best
information is that there will be reconstruc
ton of the Cabinet this week. Attorney Gen.
eral MacVeagh is pressing to be relieved, and
Secretary Window has asked for an early &C.
ceptance of his resignation, SO that he may not
be embarrassed as a candidate for the Senate
before the Minnesota legislature. oThe Presi.
dent, it is believed, has acceptsd Mr.. WindOm's
resignation, to take effect upon the qualification
of his successor In view Of the fact that this
will necessitate change in part OF the Cabinet
the statement is made that the President is pre-.
pairing his Cabinet as q whole and will send it in
to the Senate this week.
There is an impression that Judge Folger, OF
New York, is to be Secretary of the Treasury.
This is conclusion jumped at. because, as a
second choice, ex-senator Conklng and Gen.
Arthur recommended him for the position to
the late President Garfield last spring.
A delegation is here from Wisconsin urging
ex-senator Howe for Cabinet place. This
delegation, which includes the two Senators,
called on the President last night in Mr.. HOwe's
interest, but it is understood that the President
said nothing which committed him to the selec-
tion of Mr.. Howe, who wants to be Attorney
General. The belief is that Secretary Lincoln
will either be retained as Secretary of War or
will be given first-class foreign mission. Sec
retaries Kirkwood and Hunt, according to
various rumOrs, are to be provided for in like
manner.
Secretary Blaine's friends say he will not ac-
cept mission abroad; that he wants to devote
some time to attending to long neglected pri-
vate interests and then take @ rest.
Gen. Grant has again recommended Gen.
Rufus ingalls, for quartermaster general Of the
army.
Attorney General MacVeagh will return to
Philadelphia as the counsel Of the Pennsylvania
railroad company. He has recommended Benz.
Harris Brewster, of Philadelphia, as his sue
cessOr.
Ex-senator Conkling returned to New York
late yesterday afternoon. He is in poor health.
Ex-senator FentOn, one of the leading lights
in the liberal movement in 1872, is in the city an
anxious locker ON.
A rumor is afioat that Secretary Window. On
the Sd of March, wrote letter to the late Presi-
dent somewhat on terms very much the same
with that of Secretary Blaine. which has been
made public, and that member Of the so-called
"chum" Cabinet has the original.

The Three New Senators Sworn In.

The Three New Senators Sworn In.
Immediately after the reading Of the journal,
Mr. Edmunds, rising to q question of the highest
privilege, moved that the oath of Office be ad-
ministered to Nelson w. Aldrich, Senator r-elect
from the state of Rhode Island. There being no
objection, the motion was agreed to and Mr..
Aldrich sworn in. Mr.. Edmunds then made a
similar motion in the cases of the Senators-elect
from New York
Mr.. Mcpherson interposed and stated that he
desired to present a petition pending that
from certain members Of the New York legisla-
ture, alleging certain reasons why Messrs.
Lapham and Miller were not entitled to seats in
the Senate. With regard to those allegations
he knew nothing. He did not present the petit
ton with any desire to delay action upon the
petition and would refer it at the proper time to
the appropriate committee.
Mr.. Edmunds said that as the petition referred
to the propriety ef swearing in the new Senator's
ception at the present time.
The petition was received and laid upon the
table, and the oath of Office administered to the
Senators from New York
committee, consisting Of Messrs. PendletOn
and Anthonv. was appointed by the presiding
officer to wait upon the President and inform
him that the Senate was ready to receive any
communication he might please to send to
them.
Then. at 1915 pm. the Senate took a recess
for half an hour.
After the recess Mr.. Edmunds offered a reso-
| luton declaring that the standing committees
OF the Senate as they were constituted at the
close Of the last session Of the Senate be con-
tinued for the present session, and authorizing
the President pro te,n to I'LL any vacancies
which may exist therein.
Mr.. Harris asked that the resolution lie over
fOr one day under the rule. SO ordered
The committee appointed to wait upon the
President reported that it had performed its
duty, and that the President had stated that he
would communicate in writing with the Senate
tomorrow.
The Senate then at 1880 adjourned.
