The President and the Senate.
Within thirty days of the opening of the
present session of Congress, the President
will, under the statute, submit to the Sen
ate Il large number of nominations. These
will be of two classes. Where they are
made to fill vacancies caused by DEATH
resignation or expiration of commission,
the Senate may be expected to give prompt
confirmation in every case where the
nominee is known to possess capability
and fitness for the position named. But
where vacancies caused by suspension are
to be filled, the reasons for such suspen-
sion become naturally and fairly a subject
of inquiry on the part of the Senate, as
well as the character and fitness of the
nominee. Every case will stand on its
merits. An officer suspended upon
charges, Will have chance to be heard be-
fore some committee, in his own defence,
and the Senate will satisfy itself that the
charges are sustained before it will con
sent to the removal and it will also re-
quire that the new appointee shall not be
open to the same or equally valid charges
before it confirms him. This is Il clear
duty which the Senators cannot afford to
shirk. The speeches reported to have
been made in the Republican caucus
of the Senate, indicate that they do not
intend to shirk it. Gen. Logan said that
he should not vote to confirm nominations
made by IA Democratic President which
would not pass muster if made by Il Re
publican President. Senator Edmunds
said he had been represented by the news
papers as getting ready for fierce fight
with the administration. He had no per
sonal fights to make with the President
and agreed with Gen. Logan in the view
that each appointment should be consld
cred upon its merits in the same manner
and as fairly as if it came from the hand,
of a Republican President. Where there
had been sham civi. service appointment
and where men had been removed upon
false charges, or where improper charac
tiers had been given place in the public
service, Mr.. Edmunds thought the Senate
should expose and denounce them. These
declarations are in entire harmony will
previous expressions of his views. Othel
Senators, including Senators Sherman
Frye, COnger and others took the sam,
ground. There will be no factious o.
partisan opposition to the President. Blu
being part of the appointing power
since Its consent is necessary to a per
manent appointment the Senate propose
to perform its duty intelligently and faith
fully. Each case will stand upon its mer
its and must have merits to stand on
And in the inquiries likely to follow il
the course of this business, we may get
little clearer definition of the term ''otfen
sive partisanship' than has yet beer
given.

Shall the Girl whistle I

The question is now asked why q
girl may not whistle quite as much Is
a boy. This is followed by the Ques.
ton Why a boy should be allowed to
whistle at all To some people, even
if they be fond of other kinds Of mu-
sic, the whistle Of boy Is al abomi.
nation. AS to the idea Of girl
whistling, it Is too hoydenish for them
to conceive of it, Comparatively few
girls whistle. They have heard their
brothers told that whistling Is rude
and vulgar and coarse. They have
naturally thought that if it was thus
for the boys it must be quite as bad
for themselves
As whistlers the boys have general
IL done themselves and their art such
injustice that whistling, as q means Of
agreeable music, has not commended
itself either 4 their parents or their
sisters A boy practices whistling,
not as musical accomplishment, but
for the most part simply as means
of making noise. In this he rem
ders himself disagreeable, for noise
without music is seldom considered
lovely. The refinement oi the GIRLS
generally greater than that Of the
boy. She studies the art Of making
herself agreeable, while her brother
impudently expresses his lack of care
as to whether he Is agreeable Or not.
The girl stops before learuing to
whistle, and asks whether OF not her
whistling will make company desira-
BILE. Having an idea that it will not,
she refrains.
The injustice which most boys have
done to themselves Id the manner of
whistling, aud which they have also
ia consequence done the girls, il that
they have whistled badly. Often
there is no more tune in their whistle
than il they were whistIing to call i
lost or missing dog. This kind Of
whistling is not worth imitatingseith-
er by his sister or bis grandmother
IF the girl engages in it she merely
makes herself disagreeabIe On the
other hand, if whistler Of either sex
whistle good tune in o graceful man
ner the result may be pleasant enough.
The whistling machinery is suscepti-
BILE Of culture to q high degree. -
Those who have doubts as to this
will be convinced on hearing q train
ed class of whistlers, either boys Or
girls. There arc many organ-pipes
which are not nearly as musical as D
well-executed human whistle. Ifthe
girl will whistle well, let her whistle
with the largest liberty she chooses
to enjoy There is nothing very de-
moralizing about it-Ex

Culture ami Happiness.

Now life is not only what we make
it, but is very largely, what we think
it is. If we hold before oursolf con-
stantly, some dreary might have been,
If we think it is, in some unexplaina-
bic way, finer and more exalted to set
ourselves to q minor key Of some mis-.
erere, we may become in reality very
unhappy. There is no law unfortu-
nately against peoples making them
selves wretched. Schopenhaue's Che.
ory is that culture makes unhappi.
ness; that the more cultivated Is an
Individual the more sensitive IL BE to
physical discomfort or mental troubles,
and that he is thereby a being formed
to be Jared upon at every turn It
is very possible that the old adage
about a little learning applies to this
case. a superficial culture doubtless
increases ones sensibilitics ii various
ways without producing d corres
ponding resource, but the deeper
culture supplies these and enables IT'S
possessor to bear thousand trials Of
to discover means to surmonnt them
as may be, of which the more ignor-
ant Individual would never have
dreamed.

Nicaragua Canal.

Engineer Menocal, of the United
States navy, has made his report on
the Nicaragua canal route, in which
he presents the results OF the recent
expedition of which he was the chief.
The proposed route runs from Grey
town, on the Caribbean sea, to Brlto
on the Pacific, a distance of 1898
miles. OF excavated canal there will
be necessary but about thirty mine
miles, natural waterways making up
the remainder of the route. In view
of the lessons taught by the Suez ca
na i IS thought IT. ddysan y to saag
thus to obviate delays to navigation.
Thirty-two vessels will be able to pass
the canal daily, or a total annual
tonnage of 2O,44O.OOO. The estima-
ted total cost, including contingent
of 25 per cent, is $64, ,O43, ,697.

him as the request came from the
prince he must consider it a command
and to do his best. Mccullough, brac-
ing himself, recited the poem with
great effect, bringing tears to the eyes
OF those present. The. princess Of
Wales, who during the recitation was
sitting by the piano, rose and going
over to where McC Tough was, sho Ok
him warmly by the hand and said,
with her eyes filled with tears, "You

compliment pleased John very much,
and he often referred to it.

A New Metal.

Anew metal, or composition Of
metals, is now largely used in Great
Britain and Ireland. 1t is called py-
ro-silver. It is mainly intended to
supersede the steel table knife, and in
fact, Danish it from use, as the silver
has to q large extent the steel fork.
1t does away with ordinary knife
cleaning; it does not retain the flavor
OF what it may cut; is not stained by
the acid of fruit or vinegar; looks like
q silver knife; matches the erforks;
lasts as long, and sharpens on steel
as an ordinary knife. They are said
to be largely in use III wealthy families
and hotels. The price, with best AZ
rican ivory handles, is about SIT per
dozen; dessert knives, about sig.
Here is achance for our Yankee cut-
lers to introduce a new article IN that

CAPT. MARVIN'S W00ING.
from the New York Sun.
The curious minded used some years
ago to search for the quaint in
scription that could be traced upon q
mouldy stone in the ancient burying
ground in old Lyme Regis, known in
these later years as Lyme. The mem
orial, when found, could be deciphered
thus:
This Deacon, aged 68, Isfreed on earth from
serving;
May for q crown no longer wait; Lyme's
Captain Renold Marvin.
Yet, according to the tale that
mothers told daughters for many
years more than hundred, Capt.
Marvin found a crown whose gentle,
blue-eyed wearer ruled him and his
imperious will with the peaceful
.sceptre of love; and this is the tradi-
,tion:
There were the sounds of breaking
branches and the tread of feet that
seemed heavily weighted, one after
moon Of early September in the year
100. These noises seemed to be caused
bysome one laboring severely justwith-
In the wilderness that stretched far
back, into Connecticut colony from the
shore Of the Sound. The man who
heard these ominous sounds peeped
cautiously around for an instant, and
then stared with wonder upon what
was revealed to him. He saw coming
from the woods another man, half
carrying on his shoulders, half-dragg--
ging, and straining at every muscle
with the weight, a great black thing
that seemed the full size of a we'll
grown OK.
'eHs Renold," said the man, land
he hath bear" Then he went up to
the hunter.

brute that has given us so much con
ecern. 'Tis q monster. y .
The hunter loosed his hold, and
painting with his exertion, seated him
self upon a stone. He was a young
man. and though the blood OF the
beast had stained his face so that the
color almost masked his countenance,
yet the dark and resotute eyes, the
firm set jaw, and the defiant manner
sof the man, exhausted as he was,
caused the othersto look with admira-
tion upon him rather than upon his
prize: &
