The newspapers of Dakota are putting
forward distinguished members elect OF
the legislature for the two positions Of
speaker of the house and president Of
the council. This district has been
modest about presenting claims for high
places, though it possesses the material
for able presiding officers. Without
knowing that John r. Gamble cares for
the place, We suggest him as one admir-
ably fitted for the duties Of president Of
the council. He has had extensive legis.
lative experience, is man whose ability
none can question and has always been
marked lead.r In every assemblags in
which he has participated. The second
district would appreciate the honor Of
his selection.

The Chicago Tribune energetically
assails the democratic majority in the
house of representatives for refusing to
grant to Dakota the boon of statehood
aud places the act in the category OF
outrages demanding instant reparation
This is as it should be. The democratic
house deserves it. Yet We cannot for.
get that republican senate Is response
BILE for like outrage and for the most
trivial excuse that ever danced before
the anxious vision OF men in search of q
pretext. This was when the republican
senate refused to admit Dakota because
it was alleged that Yankton county had
repudiated a railroad indebtedness
Yankton county shortly afterwards
proved the falsity of the charge by
giving s04 votes. out of 82l cast, in
favor of the proposition to pay the SAID
railroad debt. This was nearly two
years ago and to this date the United
States senate has failed to give the ter.
r'tory any credit for disproving ttt
charge of reputation. So We say thai
If there is any reparation to be made fo
past wrongs it should be joint separa
tlon, the senate aud house of represen
tatiyes concurring therein and the presl
dent a1ixing his signature thereto.

Yes; that sweet by-and-by, said
Bennett. "Would not that sentiment
make good hymn, Webster ?"
Maybe it would, replied Webster,
indifferently.
Turning to his desk, Bennett wrote
the three verses of the hymn, and
handed them to Webster. When he
read them, his whole demeanor changed.
Stepping to his desk, he began to write
the notes.
Having finished them, he requested
his violin, and played the melody. In
few minutes more he had the four
parts OF the chorus jotted down. 1t
was not over thirty minutes from the
first thought of the hymn before the two
friends, and two others who had come
in in the meantime, were singing all the
parts together.
A bystander, who had been attracted
by the music, and had listened in tear
full silence, remarked, ''That hymn is
immortal"
1t is now sung in every land under the
SUN.

Personnel of Congress.

OF the &c senators who were sworn III
at the beginning of the present session
only II are new to that body. The
other IA were simply continued in the
senatorial harness by reelection. Mr..
Morrill, remains the patriarch of the SEN
ate, thoughbis colleague, Mr.. Edmunds,
looks older, and is invariably taken fol-
the Oldest member of the body. Mr..
kenna, of West Virginia, is the junior
member, and is, perhaps, the youngest
man who ever attained the dIgnified and
exalted position of senator. When
elected he was not 35 years of age. Sen
ator Anthony ranks above all others In
point of service, having now entered
upon his fifth term. Senator Edmunds
has been reelected three times, and
Messrs. Bayard, Salisbury, Ransom,
and Morrill, have each been twice re-
elected.
Kentucky furnishes more sons to the
present senate than any other state.
Eight native Kentuckians are now mem
bers of that body. Ohio comes next with
seven, while New York has six, Georgia,
Tennessee, Virginia, and Pennsylvania
each have four. Maine, Maryland, New
Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
and Virginia have native sons In the SEN
ate. Three natives of Ireland, (Messrs.
Jones, of Florida, Fair and SewelD, one
of Scotland, (Beck), and one of England,
Jones, of Nevada), are senators. Ohio
furnishes two senators for Indiana and
two for Iowa; the four gentlemen repre-
senting these states we're born In the
Buckeye state.

From a Dead Man.

Colonel Claiborne, then of the 37th Vir-
ginia regiment Confederate, deserted
by his own troops, was captured by the
famous "Stoneman brigade" and wit
messed the death Gas he supposedl at his
side of his one faithful follower, Capt.
Z. B. Roberts, whom he afterwards re-
ported to the confederate government as
having been shot dead on the battle
field. But on last Monday Col. Clai-
borne, now prosecuting attorney of the
st. Louis criminal court, was opening
his mail when he started and cried !:
T" I've got letter from the dead! /
saw this man killed at the battle of
Morehead, twenty years ago to day, and
here he is writing to me-" The letter
was from Roberts, and explained itself
as follows: 81 have been trying to find
out your address ever since the war, and
have only just succeeded. I would

TALK OF RETALIATING.
Belief that a Heavy Import Tax on
Wines will Make Them Sick.

CHICAGO, January IA large num-
Der of interviews were published this
morning upon the action of the govern
ments of Germany and France in pro-
h1biting the importation Of American
pork and the probable effect of retalia-
tory measures on the part of congress.
The importers of German and French
wines generally join in the view
that an import tax such as
would prove equivalent to the stoppage
of their importation would result in a
much stronger protest on the part of
the people of those nations than the
generality of American people have
taken in the exclusion of American
pork, as it would vitality affect more
numerous class. Anything short
of prohibitory tariff would
simply result in procuring wines
through English agents at a small
percentage of increase in price.
If 50 per gallon be added to
the tax on Rhine wine it would
drive such wines out of the mar
ket and might cause Germany and
France not to seek to keep out all ship-
ments of American pork, without MAX
ing any discrimination as to quality.

An Actors Wants.
from Wraxel's Weekly. j

One of the most entertaining men
I ever met was DIR. Veron, for some
years co-director with Duponchel, of
the French Opera, and author of that
lively work, the Bourgeois de Paris. F"
He had an inexhaustible fund of aneco-
dotes, and some of his managerial
"reminiscences were exceedingly droll.
We were once talking about the extrav-
agance of certain danseuses of the old
time, and comparing their carelessness
in money matters with the prudential
thriftness of some of their modern sue
cessors, who lived quietly and method
cally invested their earnings in the
best available securities. "Ah," said
Veron, ''they are not all of that way of
thinking, especially the young ones, who
invariably prefer the superfuous to the
necessary. Male and female, they are
all alike; and [ remember being once so
struck with the wretched appearance at
rehearsal of rather nice looking youth
that gave him piece of twenty francs,
recommending him to improve his ward
robe by the purchase OF a hat and pair
of shoes. Much obliged, he replied,
slipping the coin in his waistcoat pock-
ct, but they can wait; what I really do
want is a cane.'"

Manayunk's Sensation.
From the Philadelphia Record.1

From the Philadelphia Record.1
The small boy and female population
OF ManayUnk has been keeping steadily
within DOORS after dark for several nights
past. A mysterious Individual, who is
popularity termed the ghost, has kicked
up q veritable sensation by some strange
performances, and everybody is talking
about him. Almost every night for two
weeks the phantom has walked, and on
some nights, when he is said to have been
pursued by brave hearted and fearless
men, he has run. The favorite haunt of
the mystery is Mount Vernon, bleak
and rugged hill overlooking Nipple
Lane. Over this hill there is a path
leading to an insignificant settlement
south of Manayunk and called "Little
Germany" Parties who have travelled
this path when the shades of dusk have
fallen have been startled by unexpected
" encountering directly before them a
tall man, wrapped In an old-fashioned
cloak, wearing a SLOUGH hat, and with
his feet and legs encased IN rubber boots.
As they have approached this forbid
ding form he has noiselessly glided away
in front of them, and defed all efforts to
overtake him. OF late the so-called

young man employed in the pulp-works,

boys, armed with clubs and stones, took
up a position on MoHnt Vernon and

shown himself while they were there it
was their firm resolve to make that Iati-
tude warm for him. The sharp northern
wind which blew IN strong gusts over
the hill soon put the boys to flight.
But they have got it in for the myster.

that they have; but the opinion largely

The Sun Setting Officially.
[From the Buffalo Express.l


At Governors Island, New York, the
sun is not only made to go down with a
big bang at the nations expense, but
the operation is preceded by an astonish-
ing amount of red tape. By a regula-
ton of the war departm ent the manage
ment of the affair must be carried out
by the corporal of the guard. One cor
boral of the guard, as noon draws near,
fixes his eyes on the Western Union time
pail over in New York, which can be
discerned with the unassisted eye from
the guard house. When the ball falls
the corporal says as much to another
corporal, who instantly sets the guard
house clock. The second corporal then
tells third corporal to set all the clocks
on the island. While the third corporal
is setting all the clocks the second cor
poral hunts up the hour provided for
sunset In the almanac and writes it down
on slip of paper. A fourth corporal
carries this slip to a fifth corporal at
/ Castle William. Tie fifth corporal waits
until his clock, as corrected by the third
corporal, marks the hour designated on
the slip of paper furnished by the Sec
ond corporal, and then gives a signal to
sixth corporal, whereupon bugle is
blown, the gun discharged. and the sun
has gone down officially.
