There have been, perhaps,
more changes in the personnel
of the United States Senate this
year than have occurred dur
ing any other single year in
the history of the government.
Since the third of last March
twenty-one Senators have retired
by the expiration of terms, resig-
nation aud death. Another fea-
ture of the Senate is the unusual
number of young men and OF
men comparatively new in pub
lic life. OF the tweDty-one new
Senators who have taken their
seats in 1881. only half Q dozen
can be said to have attained
national regulations.

Sunshine and Shade.

When Peter Of Cortono was en-
gagged On a picture for the Royal
Palace of Petit, Ferdinand II. par
ticularly admired the representation
of a weeping child. ''Has your
Majesty said the painter, "a
mind to see how easily 1t is to
make this very child laugh? ?" And,
suiting the action to the word, the
artist merely depressed the corner
Of the lips and the inner extremity
of the eyebrows, when the little ur-
chin seemed in danger OF bursting
his sides with laughter. who in q
moment before seemed breaking
his heart with weeping. If this be
true in the world Of living men,
slight, very slight are the causes
that make or break the happiness
of life. The touch Of 8 brush can
dim heaven with cloud, or bright
en- the prospect of the fair horizon.

Postal Cards.

When postal cards were first is
sued, about six years ago, their
novelty provoked some fault-find-
ing, and they were made fun of as
''stingy,' shabby ''unsafe,''
etc. But they were cheap, and the
people used them, and the critics
soon followed the example of the
people. Now Gas an exchange re-
marks) the postal has only two en-
emies-the man who receives duns
on it and the manufacturers of
writing paper.
The little postal causes a de-
crease of from twelve to fifteen
million dollars every year in the
business of the writing-paper trades
in this country.
Postal cards are made at Hol-
yoke, and forty men are continu-
ally employed at their manufac-
ture. The cardboard is furnished
in packages of three thousand each,
and every sheet is made into forty
postals. Three presses are kept
going night and day. A machine
slits the sheets into strips of ten
cards each, and these in turn are
cut into single cards, and dumped
in piles of twenty-five each, when
they are packed, by girls, in paste
board boxes containing five hun
dred cards. A Government officer
is constantly on hand to see that
no pilfering of cards is done. The
Holyoke mandatory turns out
about one million cards day

The muscles of the body are
In reality machines for doing
work; and the work they do is
much greater than many people
have any idea Of. A strong man
can easily do in day as much
work as though he lifted $50 tons
a foot high. The heart itself,
the most powerful and the most
untiring of the muscles. pumps
out the blood which passes into
it with q force which appears al
most incredible. At every beat
it throws out five or six ounces
Of blood, and in twenty-four
hours from fourteen to nineteen
tons:

Advertising that Paid.

John Manning, Sheriff OF
Deadwood, D. T., was in Saint
Louis on business, and he re-
membered that the year before a
ST. Louis man Lad been up to
Deadwood apd left, owing man
several hundred dollars, which
was to be paid as soon as he got
home. Manning met the man
in st. Louis, end he said be
would hand him the money next
day. The day passed and the
money did not come, though the
man was amply able to pay.
One morning Manning inserted
a personal in one of the news
papers to the effect that If the
man who left Deadwood between
two days did not pay the money
he forgot to pay, before night,
the whole circumstance would
be published the next day. The
notice was signe d "John Man.
ming. Sheriff of Deadwood." Be-
fore 9 o'clock young man
called at Mauning's Hotel and
said he had come to pay $22 he
had borrowed to get out OF
Deadwood. Manning found ont
who the money was borrowed
from and took it to carry to the
Deadwood citizen, remarking
that he was not the man referred
to. but it was q mighty mean
Sheriff who would not carry
moaey to q friend. The next
man to call was the man he
wanted. and he paid the money
and apologized, and begged tie
Sheriff to say nothing about it.
During the day seven citizens OF
st. Louis called on. Manning and
paid him money for citizens Of
Deadwood. believing the Sheriff
had reference to them in his no.
tice; and after he had gone away
another citizen called and asked
the clerk for Manning, but. the
clerk said the other fellows had
all been there and paid up, and
this man had better keep his
money: The sheriff said he al
ways thought advertising paid.

vigorously, aud persevered until
I became sick and fell on the
floor. I have never smoked
since.
In much the same way I was
cured of hero-worship. When I
was q college youth I ventured
one day to call on . man of some
eminence, to whom I had been
introduced. He received me
with smiles aud compliments,
and as I left his presence / was
ready to proclaim him the most
gentlemanly man / had ever met
with; but after I went out, I lin
gered at the door a moment to
determine whether I should call
on another great man who lived
near, and I overheard the polite
gentleman I bad left call his SER
want, and administer to him the
most terrible scolding / ever list
ened to in my life for letting in
that stupid, iinepudent STRIPPING.
This cured me of hero.worship
and OF interviewing great men.
Since that date I have at times
gone to q distinguished mans
house with a letter Of introduc-
tiop, and turned at the door for

BAsTROT, LOUISIANA, FRIDAY OCTOBER %, 1881
An Underground Wedding.

Those who fanoysthat this age
of telephones, electric lights and
sach scientific things is barren
of romance make q decided mis-
take. A sholt time ago The
Times told of a wedding on the
summit of Pixies Peak, fourteen
thousand feet above the level OF
the sea, and now with a sense of
pleasure this journal hastens to
chronicle a similarly sentimental
occurrence nine miles under
ground. Last Wednesday morn
ing Mr.. Henry McCallister, ac-
companied By a small party, ar.
riv ed a. Cave City, Kentucky.
Country wagons were procured
at once and the gay company.
which included a Louisville ojer-
gyman as we'll as q blushing In
diana lass, drove over the hills
and dales to the mouth of nam.
moth Gave. The great hole in
the ground was bravely entered.
"Fat Mans Misery" was passed,
the bride crawling on hands and
knees along the narrow tunnel;
Green. river, with its blind fish,
was safely ferried over, and after
an underground tramp of nine
miles the spot selected for the
wedding was reached. There,
under natures glittering gems,
with darkness filling the depth
beyond and torches weirdly
lighting the immediate space,
the clergyman did his duty.
Thus during the same week
America boasts of one wedding
in mid-air and another in the
very veins of the earth. Romance
