1t is noteworthy that of the three score men
who have served fourteen years or longer in
the Senate seventeen hailed from the six New
England States. 1t is also somewhat remark
able that the present contains not only the
man of longest service in the history of that
body, but another, who will beat the record
made by Mr.. Benton if lives less than a year
longer. Mr.. Morrill, has been reelected from
enough to eclipse Mr.. Bentons achievement
II he does DO this it will be somewhat remark
able in the annals of public life, as Mr.. Morrill,
did not enter the Senate until he was 81 wears
old, whereas Mr. Benton was under 40 when
he began his Senatorial career There is q lit
tie good-natured rivalry between Senators
record. The Ohio Senator has the advantage
of two years longer service, but Mr.. Morrill,
has been continuously In the Senate, while
Mr.. Sherman's service was broken by his four
years in the treasury.

PRIDE MUS HAVE A FALL.

She was tall and fair and twenty,
Her papa had rocks In plenty,
And she dreamed this little universe
Was hers by right of birth.
She was saucy to her mother,
Domineered her elder brother.
And her bearing indicated
That she thought she owned the earth.
But she found herself mistaken,
And her faith was rudely shaken
When she tried to ride her wheel across
A little streak of mud.
And the way that wheel impacted her,
And the ground rose up and smacked her,
Was caution TO this Boston maid
Who boosted Pilgrim hood.

RECRUITING FOR THE NAVY.

1t is estimated that about 1000 men will have
to be added to the navy in the next two years
in order to furnish crews for the new vessels
that will be ready for service in that time
These must be provided by Congress- as the
limited number allowed by law has been
almost filed, and the manning OF the Puritan
will exhaust the available forces. The best
plan to provide men for the navy would be by
