First Dny.

Calm and diRnitied as natural philoso-
pliers, the senators of the third legislative
assembly carried out the prearranged pro.
gram in manner that was truly crafty
ing. Scarce a ripple marred the smooth
course of events or gave token of any
smOthered volcanoes as the "grave and
reverend seign0rs" moved and nominated
and voted and got squared away for action.
Doubtless there be dig guns to be fired and
storms to toss the smooth waters as the
days roll by, but the uninitiated observer
of the first days proceedings would little
suspect it.

session held last summer, set a rolling the
