The New Senate.
The new United States Senate now in
session under tho President's pi.iohitii a
tion, consists ul forty-four RopnblioiiH
and twontjf-cilit DemocrAta mi 1 Lib
erals, with two unlecidcl seals one
irom Alabama and one from Louisiana.
M'Millan and Pinchbeck nro the con
testants for the Louisiana scat, one hav
ing been chosen by the Kclloiz Legis
lature and the other by the Wartuoth
'body. Roth claim to be Republican",
although the former was chosen by a
Democratic body. Spencer and Sykes
both claim irom Alabama. Spencer was
re-elected by one branch of the Legis
lature and Sykes by the other. The
former has the certilcate of election ;
the latter is a Deinocnrat. Since the
union of the two Legislative bodies
there hn been no ck ctlon. An attempt
to go into an elec'.ion was defeated by
the refusal of tho presiding officer of the
House to entertain a motion for that
purpose. A suit has been brought in
the United States Court on the ground
that the election was defeated be a con
spiracy. Harrisburah Telegraph.

patch,
A VERY escch'tit idea was broached
iu the Senate yesterday, to wit, that the
Committee on Elections he instructed.! to
devise a plan tor the election of Pie.-i-dent
and Vice President simpler and
more satisfactory thau that at present
io vogue, aud also fir the e iii.-'i'n: i m of
a tribunal to deteniiiue co'jtc-tol e'ec
ti'ini. The fact has been long recog
nized that the existing sys'oui of choos
ing our executive officers is clumsy", and
liable under certain ciroum.siauccj to
serious derangements. There ought t.i
be no serious difficulty in devising ri;e
better suited to the necessities of the
case. As for the tribunal to deterui'ue
contested elections, it is surely a consum
mation devoutly to be wished lor. At
present, these jo before Congress and
consume a great deal of its time and at
tention, and frequently deei-i m i when
arrived at bear unmistakable evidence of
having beeu influence! by prejudice.
A retrospective review of ths proceed
ings in tho divers Senatorial and oilier
contests during the lale s.-ijn of Con
gress, and of the fcc-blcuo of the con
clusions delivered iu most instances,
will show how much belter it would be
to have one Court, fair aud imartial to
decide upon such issues. Besides i-eeur-ing
guarantee of more correct determi
nations, it would relieve Congress from
tho tedious pioeess of investigation
which heretofore haj greatly liamperel
that body. Httkburgh Dispatch.
A highly iuteresting ecti;t of history
has recently come to light in ru'iitieo to
.Mr. Liacolu. Upon the auhorily (o
we are reformed) of one of tho early set
tlers of Illiuois, .Mr. Dixon, the founder
of the city of Dixon, Leo county, it is
stated that about the year, while
Gen. Z. Taylor, afterward president of
the Uuited States, wus in commuud of
the fort at Dixon's Perry, nair where
Dison now stauds, Jefferson Davis, who
was a lieutenant ia the Uoitcd States
svevice (tt that lime, and serving under
Gen. Taylor, administered the oath to
Abraham Lincoln, then a captaiu in the
volunteer militia of this State. It i.s
also stated upon the same authority that
Gen. Robert Anderson, of Purt Sumpter
fame, was a lieutenant and prcseut ut the
.iaie.

Vv'Kelip tliu following' from - uu
ex-
change !
")ne ninn with tiny trade in wn th a
thousand without ami A return t t tie oM
plan of apprenticing boys to it-mlee is being
advocated. The hosjs of young men in
every large city who apply fr employ
ment ntd tail t n pet it, fm the reiisoe that
they cannot tmtliliilly aHiiiii ihiil they are
cducHrd or cspecilly fitted for any iiiirli
' ular !sincss. constitute n potent argument
iu I'uvor of reform. t inier the apprenl ice
system we should linve fewer ignorant ui
oliiiinc null incompetent Iiuiiics ucit. A
trade is liulf a man's fo.tuuo.
There is a volume of wholesome truth
in it. It presents in a iinltOiell the gnat
evil of the time. 11 iw many thousand
of young men are there, now idle ia our
gctat cities, in our towns and villnccs.
who profess to be seeking work, yet who
avoid the foundry, tho ninehine whop,
the shop of the builder, and every other
place whcic useful trades are taught and
practised, as they would avoid a pestil
ence Theyseek only such employments
as promise little work and large pay.
With tho most f our young men the
learning a trade is not ''respectable."
And who is to Harm for this sentiment
so universal among our youth ? It is the
parents, it is society so called. Society
is understood to taboo the mechanic aud
woikiug man, and hence it is believed
that theie is no road to respectability
through the mechanics' chop.
No greater or more fatal mistake- was
ever made. No system ot education was
ever so false and dangerous as that
which inculcates the idei that labor is a
bad
of dishonor, or that the laboring I
man is uot the peer of the most exaultcd
iu tho land.
The workshop is the best and the
surest road to usefulness and to i'vitune.
It lies directly in the path of honor and
distinction and wealth. It is the best
theatre now offered for the most perfect
development of the man of genius aud of
talent. There is no place where the man
of education can demonstrate his capac
ity for usfuluess, better than in the ma-
j ehaine shop and nuiidst tho stenm aud
machinery ol our great manufactories.
It is, above all others, the p'ace for the
young man who iv.illy wants to work and
w in his way to wc-ahh and to be houorcd
mid honorable position among his fellow
men ' We need not go beyond our own
city, to find examples which any young
man however distinguished his family or
illustorous his linage, may well emulate.
These men a'e the great builders of the
d-y. They vreate wealth, ao i illustrate
ire beauty and the power of labor. And
the cjuntiy points to them withpii.le
The front rank in the irraud army of
pro'.:re-s is accorded to them ami. to mot)

is not due so much to he water used iu
inixiii: the plaster, .i-. to the water ot
hydiatiou ol the lime, liberated by the
action ol carbonic acid, Tho action ol
the unall quantity prei-eut in the normal
ntmorphore, would, however, lie so slow,
that, no injurous tfl'tols could result.
But as soon as the r.fouis become tonan.-
'ted, the1 large amount of c iromiic' acid
given off in respiration citned such rapid
displacement of water, aud with it other
matter indicated by llie peculiar odors
that unpleasant aud inj t.ioui lesults
may follow. Treatment ol the rooms
with caibonio ucid, before occupying
them suggests itself, atou'ie, as a means
of rendciing them rapidly- teuautable.
Although, bv Chlculation it w.mid re
quire carbonic acid f rom the combustion
of about 320 pounds of coal, to displace

room of about 1,500 square feet of sur
face, in practice the consumption, iu a
suitable way, ol about five pounds of
charcoal per day, for days, tu tho roor.i,
would answer, because the interior por
tions arc protected Irom rapid actiou of
carbouic acid, as aoou as a lajer of about
one-teuth of au iuch has beu acted on.
This is proved by the fact that Prof.
Fuchs has detected caustic lime iu
walls centuries old.
A Man's Way and a Woman's
Way When a woman has a hen U

hoops with both hands, aud shakes then)
quietly towaods the delinquent, and says,
'iMiew there. the lieu takes one look
at tho object to convince herself that
it's a woman, and theu stalks majesti
cally iuto the coop in perfect disgust of
the sex. A n;au don't do that way.
He goes out of doors and says, "It is
singular nobody "in this house eau drive
a Leu but myself," and, picking up a
sliek of wood, hurls it at ll.c otiending
biped, and observes, "(Jet in there, you
thief." The hen immediatly looses her
reason, and dashes to the opposite cud ol
the yard. The man straighway dashes
alter her. She comes back again with
her head down, her wiugs out, end fol
lowed by au aiortment ol stove wood,
Iruit caus aud coal clinkers, with a much
pulling aud very mad man in tho rear.
1 lieu she tkims up on the ttoop, and
under the bru. and over a leuee or two,
and around the house, and back ugaiu to
the coop, all the while talking us only an
excited hen can talk, and till the while

The covered bridge over the old canal
had to bo passe i, and s Tom caught
siht of i.s shelter, a new idea made his
eyes twinkle. Turning to the impatient
couple, he remarked that he "guessed
they bad letter stop iu out of this awful

and ho could do it just as well thero ns
elsewhere." Tho amorous ones agreed
to this, and there, in the old bridge and
the dusk of evening, under tho pattering
rain, amid a group of curious ones who
all knew the tricks of the old joker,
these two were pronounced husband and
wife. In all tho records of strange
marriages in strange places thie oue
must stand without a parallel.
"Us Boys." The interrogated style
of lecturing or public speaking is not
