Little Nelly. while at the seashore with
her mother was very fond of making calls
upon some ladies in a neighboring cottage,
and the frequency with which she would
bring home little presents of cards and pic
lures, etc, led her mother to fear that she

Even the aisles of the galleries and the

On the floor there was an air Of relief
at the approaching close of the session

long prayer, included not only the Gus
tomary officers OF the government, the
President and Vice President, and Sena-
tors, but even the Senate pages aud the
venerable Isaac Bassett, in his appeal
for grace.
All political differences and party
chickering's were laid aside for the time
being, and those who few weeks ago
were hurting bitter anathemas at each
other were to-day laughing and joking
in the triendliest possible manner.
A message was received from the
House Immediately after the reading OF
yesterdays journal, and then Mr.. RAN
som offered the customary resolution
for the appointment Of q committee OF
the Senate to act with similar COM

No other business of any Importance

cess was taken.
The recess was continued until Q

clared the Senate adjourned sine die,
