The Senate cloak-rooms are the
recesses where the Senators hang their
hats and coats and relax their dignity.
There is a cloak-room on each side Of
the Senate, extending from the main
or south entrance round to the side
entrances on the east and west respec-
lively. The one on the Republican
side is reserved for Republican Sena-
tors; that on the Democratic side for
the Democrats. Each Senator has a
peg, underneath which bis name is in
scribed, and on which he hangs his
coat and hat. The Senator's right
and title to the peg marked in his
name is regarded as perfect and de-
scends to his successors. Nothing but
Senatorial wraps ever adorn these pegs.
1t would be violent infraction oil
Senatorial dignity for any outsider Ia
use one of these pegs. The rights Of
Republican Senators are confined 70
the Republican cloak-room, on the
east side, and those Of Democrats Il
the Democratic cloak.room on the
west side Of the chamber.

Bua FROM Che Queens wreath.

An occasional correspondent writes
as follows to the London Globe: "As
one Of the committee | attended the
funeral of President Garfield in the
capitol at Washington. On the head
Of the coffin was a wreath Of flowers,
placed there by the British Minister
by command Of the Queen. As the
coffin was removed from the rotunda
to the hearsc, at the close of the cere-
monies, a bud from the Queen's
wreath dropped of, and high officer
Of the government took it home TO his
wife, who was confined to sick bed,
and put it in a glass upon a
table by her side, an informed
her that there was a bud from
the wreath sent by order of the Queen,
The next morning the bud opened,
and disclosed in the center of the
flower beautiful white dove. As the
invalid looked upon this, to her mi
raculOus manifesta.ion-for she never
before had seen o flower of the Holy
Spirit, (prestera elata) and did no
know ofits existence--she exclaimed tC
her husband that it was revelation
to her that she was going to recover
and she began to mend from that mo.
ment, and in short time was perfect
! ly well. So, you see, the Queen no
ouly did to our nation a very graciou
act, but by the reflective influence o
this flower upon the mind of a sicl
| lady, restored her to health"

The death, near Malvern Fill, w.,
Of Nathan Enroughty, is likely to re-
vive the question, often discussed, but
never satisfactorily answered, why the
name Of numerous family should
have been, for at least a century, uni
yersally spelled Enroughty and uni
versally pronounced Darby. The
members Of the family themselves fol-
low this strange perversion, always
writing their name one way aud pro.
nouncing it the other, but can give no
explanation OF its origin. Nathan
Enroughty, who just died at great
age-irom ninety to a hundred years
was a soldier in the war Of 1872 and q
pensioner of the government. He was
famous, even beyond middle life, fol
his strength, activity and endurance
and it is said that no prudent mar
ever ventured to try conclusions will

DECISION AGAINST THE CITY judge
Keith i'll the Circuit Court for Alexandria
county, rendered decision this morning
IN the case of the City Council of Aiexan.
dria VS.. the Board of Supervisors of Alex
andria county, which was suit brought by
the city against the county for the support
OF Joseph Jacobs, paupcr sent to the city
aims house i'll March, 1870, by l.. w. Crock
er appointed overseer of poor for the coun-
ty by Gen. Schofeld. Jacobs was main
tanned III the aims house until his death in
April 1882 for which the city claimed 81 $40.
This claim was resisted by the county upon
the grounds that Croker was not in fact or
III law an overseer Of the poor. and if he
was such overseer he had no lawful auth
GRITTY to contract for the support of the poor
outside OF the county, and that there is no
common law liability upon a county, for
the support Of it's poor upon which IL
promise to pay for such support might be
implied, and that the city having allowed
Jacobs to remain in the aims house for ten
years without making any claim upon the
county was guilty of gross achcs. This
claim was presented TO the Board of Super
visors in 1880 and was rejected: The city
appealed from this decision to the County
Court which affirmed the action Of the Board
aud thereupon the city appealed to the Cir
cut Court which also decided in favor OF
the county and against the city. X. KEN

said, claims that he was not paid for the
scow, and yesterday came to this CITY, and
with some friends boarded the steamer Eir-
slnia and proceeded to the opposite side OF
the river, where the scow was lying taking
on load of wood, with the intention OF
taking possession of her. Before the party
left this city on the Virginia they were
warned that they would have trouble, but
said they did not care and would take the
scow nolens volens. When the Virginia
came alongside of the scow, several of the
party stepped aboard of the latter, when it
Is said, Capt. Beach emerged from his cabin
armed with shot gun and axe, which, to-
sether with the persuasive powers of Capt.

s:eow; so the party returned to this city
This morning, after getting lost in the fog,
Capt. Beach brought the scow to the wharf
here, and a compromise, it is said, was eff
lected by which the scow was sold to an.
other party, and Capt. Beach paid small
sum for his rights and interest in her.
