A STRIKING CONTRAST.
Entering the United States sensts and
the House Of Lords.

When q senator is elected in the
United States he sends his creden-
tials on in advance. They are pro
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 cleo
tons for examination. When sen
ator elect appears he steps quietly
up to the clerk desk, escorted by
his colleague, takes an oath to sap
port the constitution Of the United
States and is then led to a desk On
the outer row, which bis colleagIe
bas selected for him, where he re-
ceives the congratulations of hls
friends and introductions to the
senators who care TO make his ar
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 big
red book for the use of the cashier
and draws his mileage.
In the English house of lords the
proceedings are very different. A
newly created peer enters that his
toric chamber in a robe of scarlet
velvet trimmed with ermine, at
tended by two fellow peers, who act
as his sponsors and escorted by the
black rod, as the sergeant-at-arms
Is known, and the garter king at

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 10 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 prop
! er bench, where he takes his, seat
for moment. Then all three rise
and bow three times at the vacant
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
