Yesterday afternoon, says the Washington
Post Of the 9th inst, while thousands of peo-
pie were enjoying the jokes and antics of
the clowns in Forepaugh's circus, an event
occurred in one of the cages that was as
unexpected as ii is unusual In a cage were
a lion and tigress, separated from each other
by an iron grating The tigress gave birth
to a cub, upon seeing which the lion, with
his eyes sparkling fire, made spring for the
grating and in few seconds had the cub in
his paws. He devoured him with great relish,
while the Mother with evident distress pic
tured in her counteuance, and resting in a
couchant position, saw her offspring furnish
dainty meal for his royal majesty. The
keeper was attracted by the noise Of the
tragedy, but arrived only in time to see the
infant destroyed.

So long as the Republican Senators adhere
to their purpose of choosing new subordi-
nate officers at this session of the Senate, the
fight now in progress will continue.
So long as the fight goes on the public
business will be ignored. There can be no
combinations of Presidential appointments
without executive sessions, and executive
sessions, the Republicans say, they will not
permit. ~
For the delay the Republicans will be held
responsible to the country. They are the
majority. The Democrats-the minority
have nothing to do with it, and cannot be
held accountable for anything. They choose
70 demand that the new Republican officers
shall not be installed before December-the
proper time-and TO suggest that the Senate
dispose Of its executive business and adjourn
as soon as possible. They have the right to
make both the demand and the suggestion:
and the negative power to enforce the de-
mand.
Let the performance go on, ii such is the
fiat The Democrats will hold out, of course.
They have nothing to lose, and fight for
aprinciple to gain. The Republicans will
do as they please. They have bargain to
ratify and everything to answer for.

THE YEAR.

The Egyptians, it is said, were the
first who fixed the length of the year.
The Roman year was introduced by
Romulus, 739 B. c., and it was cor
rected by Numa. 713 B. c., and again
by Julius Caesar, As B. c., who fixed
the solar year as being 365 days and
six hours. This was denominated the
Julian Style, and prevailed generally
throughout the Christian world till the
time of Pope Gregory XIII. The cal
endar of Julius Caesar was defective in
this particular, that the solar year con-
sisted of 365 days. five hours and forty
nine minutes, and not of 365edays, six
hours. This difference at the time of
Gregory XIII. had amounted to ten en-
tire days. To obViate this-error Greg
ory. ordained in 1882 that that year
should consist of 365 days only ); and
in 1851 it was ordered to be so used in
England and the next year eleven days
were left out, the Sd of September, 1862,
being reckoned as the l4th, so as to
make it agree with the Gregory calendar.
The Russians still adhere to the Julian
calendar Called now, Old Stgte). which
is twelve days behind the reckoning Of
the Gregorian. aaI e.- :e -

SUNLIGHT.

The sun. if you will only open your
house to him, is faithful physician,
who will be pretty constant in attend-
ance, and who will send in no bills.
Many years ago glass was something of
luxury, but now we can all have good
sized windows, and plenty of them. at
moderate cost, and there is no excuse
for making mere loopholes, through
which the sun can cast but half an eye,
and from which one can gain only mar
row glimpses of the beautiful outer
world. 4'l l'a375 1A.'3 'd
If bay windows are too expensive, a
very desirable substitute can be had by
placing two ordinary sized windows side
by side with a capacious ledge at the
bottom for seats or for plants. A room
with window like this cannot fail to
be CHEEKY, and its effect in simple cot
tage house IS quite sumptuous. I mere
likewise in its favor the fact that it is
less exposed than the deep bay window
to outer heat and cold.
In kitchen or ID a child's bedroom,
or in an attic where the walls are low,
two half-windows set side by side and
made to slide or open on hinges, admit
broad. generous light. and give an
apartment a pretty and pleasing rustic
air ...,
Let the builder endeavor to have all
rooms in daily use, especially bed
rooms and sitting rooms, well lighted
by the sun. "To sleep on unsunned
beds in unsunned chambers. and to work
day after day in unsunned rooms, is the
unrepented sin of half the nation" vig-
orously afirms prominent writer. But
this should not be said of that part of
the nation living in the country far from
those towering brick walls whose steps
take hold on basement kitchens. and in
whose depressing shadows many lives
must necessarily be spent In the coun'
try. with whole sky to draw from, let
there be light! If any rooms in. the
house must look solely to the north for
illumination, let them be the parlor and
the spare chamber. People who come
and 90 can be cheerful for while in a
north-windowed apartment, but the con-
slant dwellers in house need its sun

Mr.. Lincoln remained in active prac-
tice at the bar until his nomination for
the Presidency in 1860. His reputa-
tion as lawyer and advocate was ris-
ing higher and higher. He had large
practice on the circuit all over the GEN.
trail part of this State, and be was en-
ployed in most Of the important cases in
the Federal and Supreme Courts. He
went on special retainers all over Illi-
nois, and occasionally to St. Louis, Gin
cinnati, and Indiana. His law argu-
ments addressed to the judges were al
ways clear, vigorous and logical seek
ing to convince rather Dy the app1Ica-
ton of principle. than by the citation of
authorities and cases. On the whole, l
always thought him relatively stronger
before jury than with the court. He
was quick and accurate reader of char
acter, and understood, almost intuitive-
lY, the jury, witnesses, parties, and
judges, and how best to address, con-
vince, and influence them. He had a
power of conciliating and impressing
everyone in his favor. A stranger COM
ing into court. not knowing him, or
anything about his case. listening to
Lincoln a few moments, would find
himself involuntarily on his side, and
wishing him success. His manner was
so candid, so direct, the spectator was
impressed that be was seeking only
truth and justice. He excelled all |
ever heard in the statement of his case.
However complicated, he would olsen
tangle it, and present the turning point
in way so simple and clear that all
could understand. Indeed, his state
ment often rendered argument unnec-
essary. and often the Court would stop
him and say, "If that is the case, we
will hear tbe other side" He had, in
the highest possible degree, the art Of
persuasion and the power of conviction.
His illustrations were often quaint and
homely, but always clear and apt, and
generally conclusive. He never miss
tated evidence, but stated clearly, and
met fairly and squarely his opponents
case. His wit and humor, and mex.
haustible stores of anecdote, always te
the point, added immensely to his pow
er as a jury advocate.

In summertime how fair it showed!-
My garden by the village road.
When fiery stalks of blossom glowed.
And roses softly blushed;
With azure spires. and garlands white,
Pale heliotrope, the suns delight.
And odors that perfumed the night
Where'er the south wind rushed.
There solemn purple pansIes stood.
Gay tulips red with floral blood.
And wild things fresh from field and wood,
Alive with dainty grace.
Deep heaven-blue bells Of columbine,
The darkly mystic passion-vine.
And clematis, that loves to twine.
Bedecked that happy place. @
Beneath the strong uncouded blaze
Oflong and feryent summer days g.
Their colors smote the passing gaze.
And dazzled every eye. EFt skE|
Their cups of scented honey-dew
Charmed all the bees that Ger them flew,
And butterflies of radieut hue
Paused as they foated by.
Now falls cloud of sailing snow,
The bitter winds Of winter blow.
No blossom dares its cup to show -
Earth folds them in her breast;
A shroud of white. a virgin pail,
Is slowly. softly, hiding an;
In vain shall any sweet wind call
To break their silent rest.
Ny garden is a vanished dream,
Dead in the waning moons cold beam,
Clear icicles above it gleam; E
And yeti know not how
My flowers will hear the dropping rain
When spring reneweth hill and plain,
And then it shall be mine again:
1t is Gods garden now.
