LITTLE RoCK. Ark, Jan. 19.-The contest
for the United States senatorship to succeed
j. David Walker, whose term expires March
4, is at fever heat. Messrs. Nshback, Mena-
field and Duval are practically out Of the race,
and the fight is between Congressman James
X. Jones, PondeSter Dunn and ex-Gov
Joseph H. Berry, who have secured rooms at
the Capital hotel, where they are receiving
their friends. The arrival to-day of infu-
entail politicians from different parts of the
state to champion the cause of their candi-
dates has somewhat changed the supposed
complexion of the first ballot, and
a prediction as to the result
is not ventured. Ex-State Land
Commissioner Campbell and other promi-
nent men from Northeast Arkansas have
established headquarters at the principal
hotels TO advance the interests of Dunn
John A. Williams, leading Republican,
and j. P. Jones, leading colored man from
the Second district, are here for the purpose
of manipulating the Republican and colored
vote. i. is reported that both will support
Berry. The twenty members Of the legisla-
ture belonging to the order of the Brothe re
of Freedom are holding a secret caucus to-
night. 1t is intimated that If they agree and
unite. Jones will receive their votes. Bal
loting commences at the morning session
tomorrow. Sixty votes are majority.

Those interested in the capital removal APP
pear confident that they can pass the removal
bill at any time desired, while those opposed
are equally confident the measure will not
become a law, and are prepared to delay, if
not defeat it, by ilibustering, and seem to
rely upon the governor, who is said to believe
the capitol removal scheme will seriously in
terfere with legislation. Indications are
that the removal matter will not be rushed
and that the work of the session will be COM
pleted without serious embarrassment, even
If the bill is finally passed. Bismarck pro-
poses to issue bonds to purchase lots for
county purposes, sufficient to pas the unpaid
obligations in connection with the capitol
construction, and thus remove one cause for
opposition to the capital location.
Mr. Williams presented memorial to the
house for the division of Dakota, which was
accompanied by petition from 800 citizens
OF Bismarck, asking its passage.

The Social Centre.

Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press
1t is quietly said that Mrs. Berry's house
will be Id ore than ever a social centre In the
incoming administration. Her parlors were
illuminated on the evening Of the Democra-
tic jubilee, and her Albany sntecedents and
popularity make this iDimation not i'm proba-
bic. The groups Of distinguished men In her
drawing room last evening seemed a fore
Swallowing of this importance. Gen. sheri-
dan, the Russian, French and Spanish min
listers, Lawyer Merrick and Mr.. Barrett, chief
of arrangements for the inaugural pageant,
were few of the number specially observed
among the larger circle of conventional So
ciety men. Nine. De Strive, the leading
feminine force in diplomatic circles, accom-
panied her husband, wearing a silver-gray
brocade. relieved with rich laces. She has
always an interested circle about her ana is
one Of the strongest and finest characters
that have ever adorned diplomatic life at our
capital. q quartet OF Albany ladies who are
spoken Of as likely to be much at Washing
ton in the near future are Mrs. Erastus Corn
ing, Mrs. Robert Lennox Banks, formerly
the widow OF Mr. Ed Corning; Mrs. J. V. L.

Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-The Democratic
members Of the legislature held q caucus to-
night to nominate a candidate for United
States senator. Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees,
was nominated by acclamation and rising
vote. The following resolution was intro
duced by Senator Magee and adopted in a
similar manner:
Resolved. That the Democratic members of
the general assembly Of Indiana unanimously
represent to President elect Cleyeland that
the national esteem in which Hon. Jos. E.
Mcdonald is held is an esteem founded upon
character and ability and his political SER
vices indicate him as proper and safe coun-
sellor to the chief executive of the nation.
And they assure the president elect that the
selection of Mr.. Mcdonald as one Of his con-
stitutional advisers would be exceedingly
gratifying, not only to the Democracy of In
diana, but to the people of the state gener-
ally.
The Republican members of the general
assembly held caucus tonight and decided
to cast their votes for ex-Gov. A. G. Porter
for United States senator. The vote will be
purely complimentary, as the Democrats
have large majority on joint ballot.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 19.-There is no
change in the senatorial prospects at Sacra-
mento. The Republicans hold their first
caucus tomorrow evening. No one believes
1t will result in choice. There is only one
point on which all seem agreed. That is
that, after the preliminary formalities of
placing Sargent Perkins and Others in caucus
nomination, the Republicans will formally
tender the nomination to Stanford. Should
the latter not receive The nomination, the
surprise both in and out of the Legislature
will be greater than il he does. The vote on
joint ballot takes place January %.

during and after the war. When Grant be-
came president, Webster was assigned, with
Horace Porter and Babcock, to duty at the
White House. He didn't like the duties Of
clerk at the executive mansion, and resigned
from the army to take the Office Of register of
wills here, which be supposed was life Of

be, and Garfield moved him out

the presidents veto Of the Porter reinstate-
ement bill was based in which the view
taken by the attorney generals controverted.
This review was prepared for Porter by
Bulitt, prominent attorney of Philadelphia.
The resolution was referred to the military
affairs committee, and will probably be re-
ported back to the house favorably within a
few days. Gen. Slocum has prepared a list
Of forty cases occurring within the past ten
years in which the executive has, upon direc-
ton of congress, reinstated officers In the
army, In four of which cases the reinstate-
ment was made by President Arthur, This
list Gen. Slocum will present to the house
when occasion offers.

This. however. is while the bah,

without clothing, among the reindeer

amuses itself with anything it can lny

You doubtless think little Boreas

so. For his wsnter home is built of

but during the greater part of the year
It IS so cold that the snow will not melt
even when the Esquimaux burn fires in
their stone lamps inside these snow
houses; so by closely regulating the
amount of the fire, they can Just keep
the snow from melting. In short, It
must always be cold enough in their
home to freeze.
so you can see that the little Esoui-
maux can not have such very nice
time, and you can't see how in the
world he can be almost naked nearly all
day long when it is so cold. But such
Is the fact.
Yet in spite of all this, the little fell

to the cold, and has great fun frolick-

playing with his toys; and when have
told you some other stories about the

When the water commences drop

soaks up the water just like a sponge
until it becomes full; and then she re-
moves it and puts on another, as soon
as it commences to drip again. Some
times she will forget to remove it, and
when it gets soaked and heavy with
water and warm enough to lose its
