senate at Washington. The demo
cratic senators. in caucus, decided to
resist, by all the parliamentary means

pending resolution by which the re-
publicans seek to obtain the immediate
control of the senate offices. They
state that when night comes they will
leave Il of their number, sufficient to
call the yeas and nays, and the others
viii go home to rest. The republicans
after ascertaining that the democrats
mean to continue determined fight,
will detail reliefs. The contest prom
ises to be one OF the most determined
which has ever occurred between par
ties in the senate Cameron Pa has
given notice on the floor that the re-
publicans intend to fight to the bitter
end.

Lemons as Syst m Regulator

The way to get the better ola bilious
system without blue pill or quInine is
to take the juice of one, two or three
or more lemons, as the appetite Graves,
in as much ice water as makes it pleas
ant to drink without sugar, before GO
ing to bed In the morning on rising
or at least half an hour before break
fast, take the juice of one lemon
in goblet of water. This will clear
the system of humors and bile, with
mild efficacy, without any of the weak
ening effects of calomel or Congress
water People should not irritate the
stomach by eating lemons clear; the
powerful acid of the juice, which is al
most corrosive. infallibly PROD uces in
fammati0n after a while, but properly
diluted, so that it does not draw or
burn the throat, it does its full medical
work without harm, and when the
stomach is clear of food, has abundant
opportunity to work on the system
thoroughly.
