During religious services at Barnum's the
other day, two negroes who were sitting on a
fence heard the singing of a snake, as they
termed it. Shouting was going on at the

Senator Trumbulps Two Troubles.

Lecture of x-Sergeant-at-Arms French.
Lyman Trumbull was another great law
yer, and good deal of a statesman. Like
Fessenden, a DICTATOR rather than an orator.
A sharp man, distinguished by great acute
ness of discrimination and accuracy of state
ment and of judgment. Not as strong man
as Fessenden, but in many traits like him.
There was time, while Mr.. Trumbull was
chairman of the Senate committe on Judi
cary that Benjamin Butler was chairman
OF the judiciary committee of the House
1t was during this period that delegation
from one of the Southern States visited
Washington with desire to secure the i'm
parchment and removal OF the federal judge
of their State. They interviewed Mr.. Butler
as to the probability of carrying such a
measure through that session. Il don't
know" was Mr., Buffers reply. II am chair
man of the judiciary committee of the
House. The necessary action can be had
here. But Lyman Trumbull is chairman of
the Senate committee, and Judge Trumbull
is troubled with TWO things-the dyspepsia,
which makes him miserable, and con-
science, which makes rim uncertain" In
these modern times there may be many
others besides General Butler who would
sneer at Senator for being caught in Wash
ington with a conscience, but there must be
left some of the old-fashoned people who, in
their simplicity, would honor the man all
the same,

Apropos of royalty, good deal OF curios-
ity is aroused by the promise of an early
publication of THE Life of Queen Victo-
rla," by Sarah Tytler and Ronald Cover, the
latter noble author acting as editor Of the
book. The illness of the Queen has revived
the report of her probable abdication in
favor of the Prince of Wales. Many persons
who enjoy the privilege of knowing person
ally the monarch and the heir to the throne
predict that the Queens will be the longer
life of the two. No person, it is said, who
has passed through the dangerous stages OF
typhoid fever is ever properly afterward out
OF danger, the system being invariably left
weak and tenseless." The Prince of Wales
himself knows this we'll enough. No man Is
more careful in regulating his health. AL
though he attends many public dinners, he
eats but little and drinks less. As rule, he
dimes in the middle of the day, principally
off chop and glass of sherry. At night
whenever he leaves public entertainment
he is careful to wrap himself up, and avoids
running all risks of cold. Indeed, the care
tul man" of the popular comic song himself
is not more careful than the heir to the
English throne.

An American Worth in Boston.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
About fifteen or twenty years ago young
lad whose body had grown so fast that as yet
he was hardly able to handle it with grace
left Auburn. and got place at Jordan &
Marsh's in Boston. In course of time this
young man took to the hat and bonnet and
dress department, developing for gowns a
talent that would have been somewhat re-
markable in the right sex, but which was
simply prodigious in the male sex, The
young man was sent to Paris to study gowns.
He did eminent service for mis- employers,
On one of his visits to the French capital,
Worth, noticing the young Americans tai
ent, said to him: "Why are you at work for
a small salary when you can go it alone on
your own hook and be richP' Worth said,
II will help you" The young man returned
to Boston, and in due season went into bus
mess for himself. He took chambers on
Washington street, employed workmen and
cutters, visited Paris twice yearly, studied
style, slept style, ate and drank style. Year
after year his business has increased and
now he is one of the forehanded. His gowns
are bewitching; his prices are aristocratic;
and now all Beacon street falls down and
worships, saying: "Give me IS gowns, or
l perish" All which shows that to do one
thing better than it has been done is fortune
especially if that one thing be gowns.

The Civil Service Reform.

The triumph of the Reform is a
wonderful tribute to the power and
usefulness of the Independent move
ment in the several States. The ma
chine politicians are willing that the
voter should talk as much as he will,
provided he will only come up to the
polls on the appointed day, and vote
the regular ticket" 1t is the boiling
at the polls that tells. A few months
ago, Civil Service Reform seemed out
of sight. No prominent politician ad-
vocsted it. But the November voting
wrought wonders. The bill went
through both Houses almost unop-
posed. 1t is thing worth remember
ing.
We do not suppose that the Bill is
perfect. But it is q step in the right
direction. And it is moral judgment
put on record.
We believe that as soon as the Of
fees are taken out of politics, there
will be such clearing of the atmos-
phere that every body will wonder that
we ever endured any other state OF
things.
The thanks of the country are due to
Senator Pendleton, who introduced
the bill, and not less to Senator Haw.

A Novel Bill.

Senator Cooper introduced, by re-
quest, novel measure into the Legis-
lature last week, providing for the
levying of a poll tax Of 81 80, on each
elector, the same to be remitted if the
elector votes If he fails to vote then
he mast pay the tax. 1t is argued in
favor Of the measure that it would
secure full vote at every election,
that it would prevent the use Of m oney
at elections for corrupt proposes under
the guise of getting out full vote. -
Every voter would understand that if
he neglected to perform his duty as a
citizen by not voting, he would have
to pay for his lack Of patriotism. Gov.
Butler, Of Massachusetts. In bis inaug-
ural address recommends the enact,
ment of similar law in that State.

A Prayer Causes a Sensation.

In opening the session of the House
at Harrisburg, last Wednesday morn
ing, Chapla lain Elliott, a Methodist
clergyman recently of Lebanon, took
occasion to use the following language:
We thank Thee that, in health and
strength for duty. we are privileged to
assembly in this house this morning,
and that Thy mercy and peace are
manifested to this Commonwealth in
the Inauguration of a citizen coming
in his simplicity to preside over the
State and its destinies. We thank
Thee that we assembled yesterday, and
that we assemble to-day, without fear
of destru ction from instruments of
death, but that the citizen, confident of
his security, assembled with his fellow
citizens to engage in the solemn and
impressive ceremonies which were so
successfully and triumphantly complet-
ed. We thank Thee, God. that the
citizen now is in the ascendant, and
that no longer we feel the influence of
the military, and of war and death.
Be pleased, Oh, God, to bless us and
our Nation, and grant that the citizen
may hold his position in the civil sell
vice of this Nation for many years to
come, and that peace and prosperity
may attend us in all things. to the
honor of Thy name and the religion of
Lord Jesus Christ
