strong feeling of resentment and revolt
against Speaker Keifer's committee assign
ments has developed since Congress resumed
its sessions A Republican member is report
ed as saying "The speakers appointments
have demoralized the party, and 1 fear we
shall have serious trouble. The important
committees, as now constituted, do not have
the confidence of the House, and everything
will have to be fought out over again on the
floor. Here we are at a disadvantage, for the
Democrats are exceptionally strong in this
Congress in debaters." In the light of these
facts the representative felt that little would
be done by Congress this winter.

Gen. Grants letter to President Arthur on
the Fitz John Porter case, briefly mentioned
last week, is a straightforward statement to
the effect that he has recently become econ
WINGED that Porter rendered faithful, efficient
and intelligent service" and that for the past
10 years he has been doing gallant and eff
ficient soldier great injustice in thought and
sometimes in speech. He now asks the Pres
ident to review the case with view to the
reversal of sentence, or, if he cannot himself
afford the time, that he will turn the matter
over to Attorney General Brewster for his ex-
animation and opinion. Fitz John Porter
was cashiered by a court martial nineteen
years ago on charges of having disobeyed the
orders of his superior, Gen. Pope, and
failed to do his duty at the second battle of
Bull Run. Since that time Gen. Porter and
his friends have been untiring in their efforts
to have the sentence removed. The present
movement will be stoutly opposed in Con-
gress by men who firmly believe in Porter's
guilt.

The message of Gov. Cameron of Virginia
shows the long stride which has been made in
the Old Dominion within tw enty years. Vir-
ginia is no longer bigger than the whole Unit
ed States, but the Union is recognized as en-
braciDg Virginia. The governor points with
pride to the fact that recent events in his
state have given an emphatic impulse to a lib
beral impulse tn roughout the land, and sees
the dawn of a new era in the fact that the
president in his annual message found no oc-
casion to allude to sectional differences. In
concluding, Gov. Cameron says
To-day Virginia stands before the world
Offering all the blessings of free citizenship,
of absolute freedom in politics and religion, to
those who may seek her borders, appealing
for harmonious ssterhood of states in which
sectionalism shall be unknown, and in each
of which shall be illustrated spirit of Amer
icanism broad as the limits of the continent"

the following imaginary scene:

Mr.. Moon taside)-He should have said,
at you can, will you tell me ?" aloud. }
Sir, the road does not go anywhere-it re-
mains always here.
Traveler-Pardon me. l should have
said, "Where does this road lead %
Mr.. Moon-To lead, sir, is to go before
to guide wide Webster. Worcester and

cannot go before you.
Traveler-I perceive, sir, you are precise.

Traveler-Excuse me, my time ia limited.

Mr.. Moon-Your query is wanting in
precision. Where you arrive will depend
principally on the duration of your pro-
gression.
Traveller (Gttr a pauSe)-Supposing l
should walk upon this road at rate OF,
say, four miles per hour, during, let us
suppose, two hours, what are the various
places through or near which my walk will
bring me?
Mr.. Moon-This is very painful. There
are no less than seven mistakes of the
most glaring kind in the sentence you
have just spoken. Your use OF the word

the word once, you should not have used

the Latin word per, when 'sin an would

of Udrious PLACES. But the word various,
so used, is quite unmeaning. If it we've
not redundant it would be incorrect, for
the word various implies that the OBJ

each other. Now, the places through
which you have to pass may, for aught you
| know, be precisely alike. Further, you
! should not have said "my walk" but

LIKE THE IVY.

Trus love is like the ivy bold,
That clings each day with firmer hold
That groweth on through good and ill,
And mid the tempest clingeth still,
What though the wall on which it climbs
Have lost the grace of former times,
Will then the ivy lose its hold
Forget the sunny days of old?
Nay, rather will it closer cling
With loving clasp, remembering
That it had hardly lived d: all
Without the kindly shelt'ring waN.>
True love is like the ivy bold, -
That clings each day with firmer hold
That groweth on through good and i'll,
And mid the tempest clingeth still
True love is like the ivy green,
That neer forgetteth what hath been,
And so, till life itself be gone,
Until the end it clingeth on.
What though the tree where it may cling
Shall hardly know another spring?
What though its boughs be dead and bare
The twining ivy climbeth there,
And clasps it with firmer hold,
With stronger love than that OF old,
And lends it grace il never had
When time was young and life was glad.
True love is like the ivy green,
That ne'er forgetteth what hath been,
And so, till life itself be gone,
Until the end it clingeth on.
