they ware sitting in silence ong evening,

excitement—he showed them a news-

been obliged to put inte Pitchton

was still a chance. These news was
almost more difficult to bear than the
previous disappointment; but Alice
rose quietly and packed her trunk,
though several times the throbbing of

another journy had to be performed

in the bay?”
She heard the answer, “Yes, yonder
she lies in the roads.” The words rang
in her ears, and she fainted away.

overlooks the sea.

was that Alice looked most ermmestly,

promised not to sail while the other re-

Lowen sank the sem; the shadows
grew longer; the clouds became flushed’
with rosy light ; then their colors be-

somber gray ; the ships were less le

in the hall she would turn sucdenly to
the door, then quickly look seaward
again. —Thus she sat when the shades

after eight o'clock. this evening, a
young woman named Annie O'Neil

of the White House, running towards
the private apartment of the President,

the Senate was in the House to enforces
this ruling of the Senate, and the
House was there to speak and act for
itself and in behalf of its own views.
So soon as Wade declared that the tel-
lers must read the total vote, General
Butler rose to a point of order, that
the House had decided that the vote of
Georgia should not be counted, and he
asked the Chair to pass wpon that point
of order, and direct that the Senate re-
