SOUTH DAKorA's sENAToRsHIP.
Melville Likely to be Dropped by the
Republicans.

PIERRE, s. D.. Feb. Tin the United
States senatorship contest there was but
one ballot to-day, the twenty-seventh. The
result was: Moody %, Tripp 20, Campbell
Al, Melville 28, Mellette 5, Clarke 6, the
balance scattering. The number necessary
for choice is e. The falling Off in Mel
ville's vote apparently indicates that the re-
publicans will not give him their full support
and that he will be dropped. 1t would also
seem that Moody cannot recover his lost
strength. Mellette is generally considered
the strongest republican, but. SO far, it is
said, he had been holding back. A rumor
was In circulation to-rfsht that the dead
lock will be broken Tuesday.

"With My Body l Thee Worship"

When the wedding service of the Church
of England was adopted for use in this coun-
try the adoring sentiment in the above line
was dropped out of it, the Protestant Episco-
pal church retaining the word "obey" in the
woman's VOW. Now, it is easy to see that
there was no great risk in the promise to
obey man who had just pledged himself to
"endow" his wife with all" his worldly
goods" and also to worship her. The atti-
tude of possessing all that the poor fellow
owned, and of having him besides in the at
titude of Alteration" might be supposed 10
be fully the equivalent and balance to the
word 'obeY." As it now stands the promise
to obey is only balanced by the equally
neglected promise to give the vile all that the
man owns
Neither is carried out, although the last
one is frequently made sound, for the first
time, by the husbands last will and tesla
ment- If he does not live up to his bridal
promises he frequently dies down to them
Taken as traditions that convey the sentiment
of an entire union of interests, obligations,
and desires, the whole service should be re-
stored, if poetry is to rule. Taken as the
common sense contract solemnized in the
midst of the most sacred surroundings, the
word "obey" ought to go out promptly, since
the correspondingly worshipful words of the
old service were dropped out long ago.

Note OF Explanation.

Riding out one day, Franklin passed
farmer sitting listlessly by the roadside, his
chin on his hand, and his elbow on his knee.
Taking this for fit of laziness, Franklin
drew rain to expostulate, but the first glance
at the mans face excited his plying interest.
Inquiry brought out sad story of failures
in regard to land, implements, and livestock.
The details convinced the doctor of the mans
industry, but seemed to throw doubt on his
intelligence.
Have you read any of my books, my
frend2" said he. 81 am DR.. franklin"
At this name the man looked up eagerly,
but the next moment relapsed into his firm
er apathy, as if completely heart-broken.
"Oh, yes, DOCTOR" he replied, I've read
your almanacs-Pve worked by em and slept
upon 'em-I and my wife and all my boys
But don't see the good of it; none of your
sayings have come true"
MOP" exclaimed franklin; "now which
do you mean in particular ?"
"Why, don't you remember, doctor, where
you say, "A light hand makes a heavy
pocket HE who runs in youth may lie
down in age Industry must prosper and
all that? Now here ! have been sinking deeper
and deeper instead of getting on, work as I
would"
"Humph!" rejoined Franklin; "it strikes
me, my friend, that where l say, Industry
must prosper there is note at the bottom
to explain"
"a mole don't recollect any notes."
"Then it is very likely your copy is an i'm
perfect one many of my first editions were
so tomorrow I'll send you a proper one l
have at home, and if you will take the trou-
BILE TO look over it you will find under the
line Industry must prosper note which
throws further light on the subject"
The doctor then rode on. The next morn
ing packet was brought 10 the farmers door
containing the almanac as promised, and
after thumbing few pages he found the line,
and beneath it an explanatory note-for
twenty dollars on the Philadelphia Bauk.

The Peck Over Bank.

Did you ever hear of the Peck Over bank
There is a peculiar story connected with the
title of the institution. The Peck Over bank,
which at the time of the South Sea trouble
had another name, was located on Lombard
street. London. 1t was conservative insti-
tuition, as it is now, and when the bubble
burst nobly withstood the run upon its re.
sources. When every claimant had been
been paid in full the crshier found that he had
a quantity of specie still on hand. He was
an enterprising fellow and saw chance for
an advertisement. He procured peck mea-
sure, and filling it up with golden guineas
placed it in the window of the bank to notify
passers by that that institution, at least, was
all right.
When the directors met the next morning
they showed their appreciation of the CASH
ier's idea by promptly changing the name of
the bank to the "Peck Over Bank" which
title it bears to this day.
