The galleries of the Senate were
crowded to-day, and considerable time
was consumed on the proposition to
swear in Mr.. Blair, appointed senator
by the Governor OF New Hampshire.
IL will be remembered that this ques-
ton was discussed at length by the
Senate four years ago, and that 1t was
decided in favor OF the Governors APP
pointec. Mr.. Bell. The trouble growsout
OF the fact that while the term OF New
HAMPSHIRE senator expires on the 4th
Of March the Legislature that elects his
successor does not meet until June.
Senator Vest wanted the matter TO so
OYER until tomorrow. II went over by
unanimous consent. Senator van
Wyck made his promised speech on
the land grant Of "the Backbone rali-
road and attacked the late Admins
tra,ion for its course in regard TO It.
While he was speaking number ofiead-
ing representatives. occupied seats on tue
floor Of the senate, and Senator Teller,
who was intended to be the special
victim of the Nebraska senator, be-
cause he. as Secretary Of the INTERIOR
ISSUED the lsnd-patents to thus corpora
ton, listened most attentlyely to every
word uttered by his assistant. The
Nebraska senator was equally ss severe
on the late Attorney-Gcnerai. ana
frequently alluded to Messrs. Goaid
and Huntingdon. Senator Teller, 10 re-
ply, spoke Of the resolution Of Nr. Van
Wick Is unsenatoriaI and disconrte-
GUS. He accused that senator OF con
tinuaIly posing rs friend Of the down.

ments of the early Christians of the
millenarians and of the ascetic school.
The corruptions of the world by which
they were surrounded filed them with
horror. They longed for the kingdom of
God, for justice to reign universally, and
for the perfect happiness of the unfaith-
tul but how is this to be established?
By the end of the world; that is to say,
bya cosmic revolution, when fire from
heaven is to descend and purify all things.
AS these archaeological hopes failed to be
realized, and the world continued as per-
yerted as heretofore, but one course was
lett open to those persons who longed for
purity and holiness, to flee to the desert
and cry out with Hamlet, "To a nunnery,
to nunnery" This was the feeling
which peopled the Thebaides in the first
centuries after Christ, and later on the
converts and monasteries, especially as
the year 1000 approached, which was con-
sidered to be the date of the long expected
end of the world.-The Con,tomparary

Samuel BOwles as Editor Of the Spring.
field 'sRepublican."
From George S. Merriam's "Study in
Independent Journalism" in the Octo-
Der Century, we quote the following:
"The faculty in which he first showed
eminence was skill in gathering news.
Said MIR. Bryan, who was added to the
papers force in 1852: He and 1 would
60 into little restaurant on Sanford
street, and one and another would drop
In and exchange few words, and while
we We're eating our lunch he would pick
up half column of news Said friend
IN nelghboring town: L would meet
MIN on the street, we would chat a few
minutes about the events of the day, and
next morning would find in the paper
everything had told him. In the politi-
cal conventions which he attended and
reported, he was in his native element.
He button-holed every body, and offended
nobody; found out the designs of every
clique, the doings of every secret caucus,
got at the plans of the leaders, the tenn
per of the crowd, sensed the whole situa-
ton; and the next mornings Republican
gave better idea of the convention to
those who had stayed at home than many
of its participants had gained. These re-
porting expeditions were full of education
to him. His mode of growth was by
absorption. Other people were to him
sponges out of which he deity squeezed
whatever knowledge they could yield.
cit was commonly said that to seek
redress from the Republican did more
harm than good. This trait was partly
due to deliberate unwillingness to weaken
the papers authority by admission of
error. But it was probably more due to
personal idiosyncrasy. In many ways
a most generous man, Mr.. Bowles
always hated to admit that he
had been in the wrong. Sometimes
he did it = not often = in private
life; but in his paper never, when he
could help it. We sometimes discussed
this said DIR. Holland, and once he
said: 81 sympathize with the Boston
editor, to whom a man came with the
complaint, Your paper says that 1 hang
ed myself, and 1 want you to take it
back No. said the editor, we're not
in the habit of doing that, but we will
say that the rope broke and you es-
capedp"'
"But it must be said that this fault lies
at the door of a good many papers besides
the Republican. 1t is characteristic sin
of journaiisn-one of the vices of ire
sponsible power"
