4 STRIKING CONTRAST.
Entering the United States serst- sns
the houss of Lords


When q senator is elected I'D fhe
United States he sends bis creden-
tials on in advance. They are pre-
sented by his colleague, read from
the desk and filed in the secretary's
office unless some objection is
raised, when they are sent to the
committee on privileges and elec-
tions for examination. When a SEN
ator elect appears he steps quietly
up to the clerks desk, escorted b.
his colleague, takes an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States and is then led to desk on
the outer row, which bis colleague
bas selected for him, where he re-
ceives the congratulations of his
friends and introductions to the
senators who care to make his ac-
quaintance. He looks as wise as
may be and waits for adjournment,
when he goes to the secretary's of
fee, writes his autograph in a big
red book for the use of the cashier
and draws his mileage.
In the English house of lords tie
proceedings are very different. 4

making low bows to the empty
throne and to the presiding officer,
who is the lord high chancellor,
from different parts of the gilded
chamber, to which that imposing
person gravely responds. When the
new peer reaches the throne he
kneels reverently and places upon
the empty chair, where his majesty
ought to be sitting, the patent of
nobility he has received from his
sovereign. He is then led to the
woolsack, where the lord chancellor
administers to him the oath. His
sponsors next lead him to the pror.
er bench, where he takes his seat
for a moment. Then all three rise
and bow three times at the vacaut
throne and three times to the pre-
siding officer. The lord high chan
cellor then leaves the woolsack and
comes down to shake hands with the
new peer and welcome him to the
house. The other peers come also
and tender their congratulations.
