General Hancock will be in Washington on the 4th of March. It is reported that Hayes goes out of office worth $1,000,000 a sort of National Bank. South Carolina will realize about $30,000 O00 this year from her surplus rice and cotton. The Wisconsin Legislature having determined to pell correctly, has purchased 400 unabridged Webster's dictionaries. Tnr. probability is that Hayes, having four days to serve in March, will draw a month's salary in advance. Sherman ehould watch liini. Friday, hangman's day, is also inauguration day. Does the fact account for larlield'a declaration that he "feels like a man going to prison?" It is generally conceded that Mitchell of Pennsylvania, the newly elected Senator, don't amount to much and that Cameron will own him if he is worth purchasing. Perc, with ali her mountains of gold and ilver, is out of coin. Her paper money is difficult to pass at $11 for $1. Jay Gould could make it pay by taking a few millions to that war-cursed land. It is wonderfully funny to see Indianapolis Republicans go into conniption fits over the Dorsey dodge. Who carried Indiana is still in doubt. One thing is certain Dorsey has got away with the glory. Tur total value ot export of breadstuff from the United States for the month of January 1S31, was $14,032,832, and for the seven montha ended January, 1961, $166.319,5b0, against $174, 108,815 for a corresponding period in l&SQ Ti:k total value ot provision?, tallow and dairy products exported from the United States for the month of January, 1SS1, amounted to $15,218,007, and for the seven months ended January, 181, $21,108,165, against ?14,CÖ5,731 for a corresponding period In 10. The Illinois State Senate has passed a compulsory education bill. Children between the ages of eight and twelve years are to go to school twelve weeks every year, unless physically disqualified, or are attending private schools where the same elementary branches are taught as in the Fablic Schools. Illinois wants to revive deer hunting. The following notable words were used by Senator Carpenter before the Electoral Commission of 1877: I do not appear for Mr. Tilden, but for 10.000 lend voten of the State of Louisiana, who. without accusation or proof. Indictment or trial, notice or hearing, have been disfranchised by lour villains Incorjiorated in perpetual succession, whore our cial Utle is the returning Board of Louisiana. They are well worth repeating and reinenberin; They should have annihilated the pretensions of Mr. Hayes there and then A story comes from Western Kansas of a woman and an infant child rescued in the nick of time from death by freezing. A woman, whose hn.land was eick, visited ihe town of Ro-jedale to collect some money. JShe. was delayed and belated, but started for her home. On her way she was overtaken ty a snow-storm. Fhe wrapped her infant child f nugly and struggled on through the blinding nnw. Night overtook her. She raw a light in the distance, and with all her e trength sought to reach it. but her feet became numb with cold and her child became burdensome. She struggled on until she was completely overcome with weariness and fell unconscious. In this Condition she was soon discovered by the man whose house she was endeavoring to Teach. When consciousness was restored, ahe described the . herniations attending freezing to death as follows: Tbounaiidj of colored lLchu danced before her -s?yes; the roaf of a thout.d caauon was resound

ing in her ears, and her feet tingled as if a million needle points were sticking into them as she walkeL Then a feeling of drowsiness came over her. A delightful feeling of lassitude ensued a freedom from all earthly care and woe. Her babe was wann, and light as a feather in her arms. The air was redolent with the breath of epriug; a delightful melody resounded iu her ears. She sank to rest on downy pillows, w ith the many cold red lights dancing before her in resplendent beauty, and knew nothing more until she was brought to her seuse. We have accounts of how feels to be drowned and hanged, but lo freeze we think is preferable. Those who contemplate suicide might do well to pay some attention to the freezing method.

ANTI-MONOPOLY. . The question is, who rules the people or the monopolies? It is not an idle question ; it is not the buncomh of political demagogues, and the discussions upon the subject are not the idle harangues of ttolitical harlequins. The question is put by considerate men, who desire the welfare of the country. It is discussed by men of thought of ripe intellects and of large abilities who, rising above partisan politics, sjeak for the people. At an anti-monopoly meeting, held some days ago at Cooper Institute, New York, Hon. Jeremiah S. Ilack, of Pennsylvania, delivered an address, the key-note of which was the legal and constitutional aspect of the transportation question. He considered at length the relations of corporations to the public. He declared "that the course of these institutions had been steady toward complete monopoly. Their ultimatedeoigns were fraught with the greatest dancer to the State, and unless legislation t-hould step in and aid the oppressed, the whole machinery of the Government would be thrown into the hands of monopolists." "These men," said the sqeaker, "are not now satisfied with their possessions; they w ill still continue to water their stocks, to absorb tho property of others, and tax the producers at their own aprice; and by the consolidation of railroads, the union of telegraph line., the subversion of the laws and the insecurity of given corjorate properties, by their refusal to recognize the rights of the minority of shareholders, they have set at defiance the rightot of the public and individuals, prevented beneficial competition, ami trampled upon the spirit of the i "onstitution and laws of their country." Headvocated that railroad men thould be turned out of office under the Government, and their duties compelled, as well as rights observed, through the interposition of the law. The constitutional methods by which the eople might be protected in their rights were discusned, and authorities quoted to demonstrate that the remedy lay in the hands of the public itself. It was shown that by the power of their wealth the railroads had obtained a large share of control of the Supreme and State Courts and various legislative bodies, and that Judge" were elected and Representatives Feinted with special reference to their fitness for :id unci ng the interests of the corporations they represented. The railroads were rapidly a.ssuminiraii influence disproportionate to the relative ! position they occupied toward oilier Indies, j The character and extent of Mich laws j which should be enacted was explained and j heir adoption strongly recommended. The meeting adopted declaring "that it is citizens everywhere to monopoly league, and a resolution the duty of organize antictnleavor to pecure among others the follow ing specific I 1 a . - , v . II! T ' 1 . ! reruns: i) j.aws compelling x ryn-poi lation and Telegraph Companies to base their charges on risk and cost of services. ( -) Laws to prevent pooling and combination-. (Ö )Laws to prevent discriminations againt any c lass of citizens on the public highways. (I) Courts to give effect to the law placed on the statute book. (.") Laws to 'make it the official duty by officers to defend t itiens against corporate injustice. () I.aw to pre vent public taxation to pay dividend on National stock. (7) I.aws against bribery. , (S) Laws to regulate the commerce of several States, and (0), a liberal policy toward the water ways. It was resolved that indeciulent journals should bo encouraged, and that the bread, meat and fuel of the masses should not be taxed to pay dividends on the fictitious cosLs of construction." Senator Windom, of Minnesota, is not less emphatic than Judge 151ack in his opposition to monopolies. He . was not present at the meeting, but lie addressed by letter in which he treated at length of the abuses which exist in the management of rail wavs and telfiminhs. nml , laid much stress on the danger of a single man controlling the educational power of the press by the ownership of telegraphs, and strongly advocated postal telegraph, and gov ernmental restraint to be exercised over the increase of corporate powers. "Without such restraint," the letter read, "what is to fix the limit of exaction of the eorjorate power on the people ? What is there to hinder these men fruni depressing or inflating the value of ail kinds of property to tuit th ir caprice or avurice ? What shall Ik said of free people who will submit without pro test to be bound hand and foot'."" Is it not well, under such circumstances, for Legislatures to note with special care what is going on within the States under their control. The States arc as a general thing the birthplaces of corporations. It is the le gislatures that give them their owcr, which when not properly guarded, becomes a jvositive and always a growing evil.. 'Whcn men ieek to point the moral of corporate greed and high-handed plundering of the masses, the tenure of English land by a few- thousand well-born idlers out of thirty-five millions of people, is pointed at," pays the Philadelphia Times, "as the unbearable crime class legislation. It is true that the history of a peo ple in slavery to laws themselves had. and have little or no handiwork in framing, comes to its utmost aggravation'in Kngland and Ireland. It is true that every guinea that goes into the pocket ot. my lord, represents the toil of a dozen families; that while a few thousand men born to make laws revel in a luxury and splendor com p red lo which the wildest dreams of oriental opulence Is but the tawdry grandeur of a backwoods stage banquet, the millions are legislated into deeper and deeper poverty only relieved by the late promise of betterment in the election of the Radicals to Parliament. The English maseea" have been realizing their condition for ä half century. First, through ajit&tvon .verging at times ion insurrection, they have been seeking means to manumit themselves! JJut

the power of corporate slave-holders is like the slave power tenacious, aggressive, impregnable to ordinary onslaught It is time for the men who hope to live by their toil, whether it be in the ordinary walks of life or the more intricate callings of industry, to stop and think of the conditionof things their passive attitude is helping to establish. It will be an evil day for this country, with its boundless resources ready for exploitation by capital and labor harmoniously, because justly employed, when the distrust of the

wape-tnaker shall make his skill, his brawn and Iiis brain not only uselew to capital but determinedly hostile." To this end events are now tending, and unless there is a radical etiange In legislation tlte time is not distant, when, if the question is asked who rules, tin reply will be the monopolists. THE NEXT 8ENATZ. The question v ho will organize the nest Senate is a matter of no little concern just now. It is understood that .nator David Davis will act with the Democratic party, but the course that Senator Mahone. w ill pursue is not so well defined. The death of Senator Carpenter, of Wisconsin, whose place will not be fdled until some dayt subsequent to the .th of March, would tieem to settle the question independent of the course Senator Mahone may determine upon. Previous to his death the roll stood as follows: ALABAMA. I 4 ISSI.-HIFI'I. W. John T. Morgan. lOs7. .1. Z. tteorpe, I). ls". James L. Puyu. 1. lss; I.. n.i Lamar, J). ARKANXAH. j M1SSOI RI. lss;?.

We shall see. BONDS AND BANKERS. The United States Congress has certain great interests committed to its care, among which few are of graver importance than those which relate to finance. Just now money is a drug in 41 of the great centers ot wealth. Profitable employment can not be found for it. It is idle in bank vaults. It is earning its owners no regular incomes. The United SnUes owes a large debt, upon which it is paying a higher rate of interest than is necessary. To refund this debt at a low rate of interest is demanded by every consideration of economy and National pro-pcrity. The subject has been thoroughly discussed in Congress. The refunding measure has not been hastily rushed along. Kvery interest has been heard. And now what do we see? The National Ranks protesting. More: We see them threatening. We see them demanding of the President a veto. Why? Recause they oontend that to refund the National debt at a low rate of interest a rate which will save the country from $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year will operate against the profits of tie National Ranks. The action of some of the banks is referred to by 'the Globe-Democrat a follows: " The country was chocked and alarmed yesterday morning on learning that as many as three National Pank Presidents in New York hadgot mad over the passage of the 3 per cent- bill In the Semite, and bad decided to withdraw their circulation and cease to run bank of isue. The manner in which this astounding news was given to the country was calculated to shock and to alarm a peace-loving and timid Kation such as we are, and one whose security and happiness depend so largely on the good nature of National Bank President The patrons of the ticker were the first to hear the direful news. It was incorporated into the afternoon inesase of the Associated i'ress, repeated in ihe Wall fdrcei afternoon report, and full prominence was given to it in the uight message, and also la the fin&ncLd'report sent to all the papers from New York. While the refunding bill was pending before the? Senate and before the House, these irate hawkers had ample opportunity tobe heard; but their views are not regarded of sufficient Importance to change the course o legislation. Senator Hereford, in discussing the refunding bill, -aid: j W hat argument lias been iuduced before this body to MiUfy our luinds that the debt can not be refunded at 3 per cent. 7 The Committee on Finance tell us that certain bankers went before that Committee and the Secretary of the Treasury weut before that Coram it tec, and we have his examination betöre it here in print, and he informed them that it could, not be done. But what docs hUtory teach usT A fow years ago this same secretary went before that same Committee, and these same bankers ;wcat before that same Committee, and told them that if we passed the silver bill resumption, was a matter of impossibility; but we did not heed that SocreUry of th Treasury nor those bankers and bankers' clerks who went before them, and we did pass the silver MIL and the Secretary of tre Treasury hJmsclf afterward admitted that Lc was wrong and that Congress was right; that the passage of the silver bill, so fur from impeding or Injuring the resumption of ppecie payments, aided and abetted It, as I, with other gentlemen, had the houot on this Moor to täte that it would do. We saw what M. opinion was worth tben, and what the cpinion &f these banker and these bank

ers' clerks was worth. Furthermore, this same Secretary of the Treasury, the same bankers and bankers' clerks, went before that Committee and told them that we could not' refund onr indebtedness at 4 per cent. We did not heed their adrice then, and we did fund at 4 per cent., and our

bonds were sold with greater rapidity than any that ever had preceded them ; so much so that it astonished the Secretary himajlf and astonished the monetary world. Those 4 per cents, that he aud thoee hankers s id could not be Hunted at par are to-day worth 14 per cent, premium. The bill has passed the Senate, notwithstanding Ihe advice and protests of bankers, and now hey threaten the country w ith dire calamities. They will retire their circulation; they will create a financial and commercial panic; they will cause failure and bankruptcy. There are more than 2,000 National Ranks. They control large sums of money; they have served a useful purpose; but they were not created to run the Government, to dictate its policy, to control legislation or purchase a Presidential veto; and since some of them have made threats, which they vill doubtless carry into execution, they advertise the fact that it is about tim toc,urb them and, it necessary, annihilate them. The country is in no mood to quietly eubmit to bank dictation. This bank movement will not influence Congress, nor is it likely to obtain a veto from Haye. The refiu.idjng bill w ill pass and the bonds will le sold, the country will be benefitted, ami all the more if the National Ranks conclude to stop business. THE MUTUAL, LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ITS STATEMENT. Elsewhere will be found in this issue or the Sentinel the tabular statement of the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company for the year ending December .'1, 1S0. There are special reasons why the present published statement of this Company will be of interest to holders of life insurance in general, as well as to those contemplating investment in life insurance. The assets are of a magnitude not easy to comprehend, ag gregating '91,7.'jr."s(;, a pum nearly twofold greater than the second largest Company in America. This vast sum is placed in mort gages secured by real estate, nearly -is4.000,00J; in United Ktaj.es and other bonds, nj -wardof$l,000,0tMand in loans n collaterals, more than $7,000,000, which, with the Company's own real estate, cash in banks and Trust Companies, at interest, form the grand total stated above. Death claims paid during lsso amount to $l."-24,447; matured endowments, $1,J13,711 ; dividends to jolicy holders, .3,L!.,7.')i: surrendered xlicies and additions, $.1,M1X,777 a total returned to policy holders during the year o' $1.1,10,091. The present worth of the Company's liabilities that is, a sum which at a fix od rat; of interest is sufficient to pay tliera at maturity is, on the 4 per cent, basis, $s,C42.."71. Thenurpluson the same basis is j 1,0-11.767; on the New York standard of 4!-J percent., the surplus exceeds .ll,0ijj, 000, an important gain over the previous year. In 1979 the Mutual Life entered upon a new departure which at the time excited widespread discussion and awakened apprehensions of danger on the part of many of its supporters and policy holders. The Company that year put into effect a reduction of 13 per cent, on the price -at which life insurance had previously been sold. They encountered harsh criticism from without, and organized opposition from within. The statement for 1SS0 justifies so far the reputation of its management for eminent capacity. The business of the Company increases, and its surplus increases. Certainly nothing further need be said in vindication of the integrity of this great Company under a test which no other Life Comjiany world undertake, nor in behalt ot the executives who reduce the cost of life insurance to the public, and at the same time leave unimpaired the jerfeet security of the policy holder. A California woman sued the (ircen Mountain ( told Mining Company to recover, &0,G00 for the loss of her husband, who was killed while in the employ of the Company. The Jury gave her $,000. The defendants moved for a new trial because the Judge in structed the Jury that they could consider J not only the pecuniary Iops to the plaintiff, but the injury sustained by her m the loss of her husband's society. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which said: We think that the socihI and domestic relations of the parties, their kindly demeanor toward each other, the society, were parts of "all thecircum stnnoea of the case" for the Jury to take into consideration in estimating hat damages would le Just, from a pecuniary point of view, especially ns tlierc is nothing in the case to t-liow that the Jury were Instructed that they might give damages by way of solace. The California ideals a good one, and ought to be universally adopted. This tiling of estimating a man, a husband, a father, who in all the relations of life is regarded as an honorable citizen, as the value of a horse or a mule might be estimated, is not enough, and the Supreme Court of California hit the nail on the head when it gave value to the "society" phase of the subject. The census shows that for every 100,000 males there are W,519 femcles. The facts and figures are opposed to polygamy. PERSONAL. Penator Hpmvnds is confined to his house with a severe cold. The Pyraccse Journal thinks that l"residcnt Hayes leaven off like an unfinished novel. General Sam Cary has turned evangelist and hopes to rival Moody. His present field of labor is Tennessee. Chief Justice Folger, cf New York, wlui, it is said, will go into the Garfield Cabinet, is sixty.three years Id. Lawrence Barrett and his wife will spend the summer in Germany, where their children are being educated. Petitions to General Garfield. aklng him not to have wine in the White House, are circulating by the hundreds. The wife of Judge Clifford Is said to have oged so fast since the affliction of her husband that her friends scarcely knew her. Representative Bocae, of Wisconsin, is the only member of the House of Representatives who wears a bine coat and brass buttons. At the solicitation of Republican leaders in Whconsin who are opposed to Cameron and Keycs, riou. Luther S Dixon, who was Chief Justice of that State for f. f teeu years, has indicated his readiness to serve as United States Senator. The other day a jolly-looking, gentleman came out on the platform of a coach at Mentor and cried out to the cro'd in front of the station: "Tell me which one of you is Garfield; I want to sec him." Mr. G. n. Walker, one of the editors of the Clcveiand Herald, was pointed to as the President elect, and the gentleman took off his

hat and bowed low. while the great crowd of passengers waved their handkerchiefs and cheered the bluthlng editor. Secretary Gorr"s wife and two daughters arrived in Washington a few days ago, fresh from Europe, where the young ladles have been studying. Goedon, of Georgia, who left the United States fenate to becooie attorney for the Louisville and Nashville road, has gone into railroading on his owu hook. The Astorsown !200.000.W3 worth of city property of New York and their announcement of a 1 percent, advance, in rents May 1 has set the f-hlou for all landlords. It is suited that Mr. Colfax was asked recently what he would no if he were to be orTered a place In the President's Cabinet. Schuyler replied, "Well, I should smile," and suited theaction to the word In tae old familiar way. Jacob OrEtr.E, who died at Naperville. i:l.,a few days ago, was reputed to be the posscor of considerable money.

Plain e jeaks most kindly of the Southern people, so one of his liemoeratlo friends tells James 1U Randall, author of "My Maryland," and means to yis'n theSmthern cities. His evident intention, " says Mr. Itansdall, "is to cast off the garments of a servile partisanship and attract the partial eye of all the States." Ax Illinois preacher who was recently commenting ou Sara Kernhardt. havinu exhausted his fund of reproach, charged her with extravagance. "Recause," said he, "I see in a new spa per that as an artist she does not like to draw less than a tl.000 house. Why. my friends, Krother Jack"on will draw you a tine one that will only cost $'M." The Albany Times says: "The Republicans are .-Udiiiing every nerve to prevent the passage of the apportionment bill by filibustering. They would like to have the matter go over to the next Congress, so that they could give full seoje to their gerrymandering propensities. They are of opinion that by such means they could gain at least twenty members more than they are equitably entitled to. Rut it is to be nojKxi that their game will be foiled." The Cincinnati Commercial says that the latest Cabinet slate at Washington is IUatne, for Secretary of State; Morton or Kolger, for Treasurer; Senutor Kirkwood. of Iowa, for the Interior Department: Robert Lincoln. War Dei-artment: exSenator Sargent, of California, for Secretary of War: Foster, for Postmaster General; anil Wayne MeVeagh. of Pennsylvania, for Attorney general. The question is how nearly this corre.-pondM to the Mentor slate. Pu s IX. was one of the simplest of men, and the directions iu his will for his burial are singularly characteristic. These provisions said: "My liody after my death shall be interred in the Church of St. Lorenzo, under the little vault which is near the stone known as 'the gridiron,' which still preserves the traces ot the blood shed by the illustrious Invite at his martyrdom. The cost of the nionui.i'.-lil must not be over. 400' crowns" (Alout Caklyll's rich humor and stsriling paradoxes were the great charm of hin talk, though Luttrell once remarked that it would be curious to ee how it would go down if he spoke Knglish and attended to conventional rules and manners. He onre at a largo party addressed a distinguished man of letters hi these words: "What you have been saying is tho weariest trash under the sun. It sickens the heart of mon to listen to ye."

Her dress Is of ruby velvet; in one hand she has a loose " uuch of tea roses, and w ith the other hand she holds baek the heavy folds of her train; a lender chain of gold, with jendent cameo medallion of President Hayes, is her only jewelry. The iosition is graceful, the surroundings appropriate, and the face, with its firm, sweet womanliness, will charm visitors long after the loved Lucy Webb has passed away from earth, when her geutlenesx, conscientiousness and rare tact will be things of memory, or liutfer like legends in the midst of the coming years. Mas. Hayes will Like Mrs. GarrMd and the venerable mother of the General with her to the I'apitol on Inaguratiou day. The presence of the latter Judy will bean unique feature of a Presidential inauguration. It tells well for American institutions when the widowed mother who saw her boy go out in the uncleared forest to cut wood at twenty. five cents a cord, and bring back his bard earnings to lay in her toll-worn hand, can live to see hLs exaltation to the Chief Magistracy. The rmetioti is being raised w hether any Jprevlous Inauguration has been witnessed by the President's mother. Mrs. Grant, mother of the General, is still living, but was she present at either inauguration? The mother of Washington was living, though in age and feebleue. John I. Mitchell, tho new Senator-elect from Pennsylvania, is about five feet ten inches high and rather stout. His face is round mid full and always wears an expression of good nature. He wears chin w hiskers, which are light in color, has a handjome mouth, and he will' )e known as one of the good-looking Senators. He is a fair speaker, and though he would not be called aa orator, he always speaks to the point. At times, as on one occasion when he had a wordy encounter w ith speaker Patterson, wheu a Member of the Legislature, he shows that he has great force of ex pres. sion. Among his friends Mr. Mitchell is not regarded as a hard worker. Indeed, he Is said to incline rather to indolence. He has the habi of running his hands through his hair, which give his head' a bushy appearance. The Chicago Times says; "There has been a good deal of criUwIsm, in a partisan sptrit. of General Hancock's acceptance of an invitation to 'assist' at the inauguration. Why should he not do so? No particular reusou has been stated, but it teems to hare been in the minds of some of his too anxious partisan friends that there would be something improper something in the nature of a sacrifice of his personal dignity as the citizen whom the country decided aol to appoint to that offiee la attending the installation of hl. uccessful rlvaL This view of the matter was extremely fin lea L It was taken, manifestly, from the standpoint of partylsmwherethe PrcIdent is seen only In the character of a party chief and distributor cf spoils to .those w ho heljed to place him in that position. By a recent expression of his ideas on the subject, it Is plain to see that Geucral Hancock Is able to see tho matter from a more elevated standpoint. . 'The Senate and the House of Representatives,' constituting the representative

assembly, not of a party, but of the whole Ameticau people, 'have declared him Garfield to be the President,' said Geaeral Hancock; 'such being the case. It is proper that any person who U a resident of this country should attend the Inauguration. It seems right to me. Of courts in this matter the merits or demerits of parties are not in question.'" A little anecdote of Mr. Carlyle describe him as looking at Holman Hunt's picture of "Christ in the Temple." He admired the faces of the doctors of the law, but added, "I dislike ail pictures of Christ; you will find that men never thought of painting Christ till they had begun to loe the impression of Him in their hearts." A tender little trait of Dieken is mentioned In a story of the rehearsal of an adaptation of the "Christmas Carol." In order to make Tiny Tim -a pretty child-more effective. Mr. Stirling ha ordered a set of iroim and bandages f,r tne suppoed wc ik leg. "No, Stirling, no," said Dickens, "this won't do: remeiabt r how painful It would be to many of the audience having crippled children." A CLEYEi.A.vfi dis'jatch asserts that Garfield's memorandum look contains only thirteen names from which to select a Cabinet. A Washington telegram states that thus far only Blame and Allison are certain of portfolios. It is said that the public have overlooked one element that is sure to Je recognized in the Cabinet the Union Army. Ceneral James B. Reaver, of Pennsylvania, is named as the representative of the crippled veterans. John Jacob Astor is the only applicant for the mis.sion to Paris or Rerlin. LaI'Y Florence Ihme, the clever young English woman who has leen seat to the Transvaal as war correspondent by the Morning Post of I.011don, is said to be slightly eccentric and a lover ot her own way. She is a famous horsewoman, and when on long journeys always puts away her

side-saddle and rides in masculine fashion. Queen Victoria, w ho is deeply devoted to the conventional, once severely rebuked I.ady Florence forappearlng at a Court drawing-room without th? required plume and lappets. The young lady has never appeared at Court since, it is naid. Carlyle ordered that his funeral should 1 a strictly private one, and bis wishes were obeyed. His plain eofiin was inscribed simply with his name and the dates of his birth and death. On it were laid wreaths of white flowers. In profound silence the i-othn w as lowered by relatives only. Into the grave, within a stone' throw of the houe at Etrlefechan wherein its inmate first saw the Ifght. It was a dull day, and the snow lay iu the Churchyard. The people of the country side assembled quietly about the place, and for an hour before the buriai the village 111 tolled slowly and sadly. Mrs. Lily Lanütp.y w ith face iu repo.se is rather a line-looking woman, with heavy features and a larirc mouth but not remarkable at all. P.ut when she begins to talk and lecoines animatedthen the features of this Galatea grow radiant, her eyes tlash. the heavy look disappears, half a dozeu bewitching dimples come and go and the large mouth smiles in exquisite curves. Mr. Ijtngtryis an Irishman whose f.ither and grandfather sent ships 1-etween Liverpool and IVlfast since a hundred years ago. Mr. Langtry inherited their fortune and was brought up to no profession. The Nashville American says: "We certainly wish that our Republican friends may have a pleasant time at the inauguration, and that nothing may martheircnjoyiuent or rutUethe feathers of harmony. At the same time we are not without capacity for enjoying a little confusion if they Insist on embroiltug themseves. They have not hesitated fifteen years after the War to declare that a mau who was a Confederate is unfit to ajappear in inaugural procession, and when men thus make ave of themselves the sensible world. Republican and Democratic, will not feel any sympathy with ihem if they get into water so hot as to scald the hair ort' the entire occasion. It is strange how Impossible it appears to be to get up anything in thiscouutry without having the fools and idiots excessively represented." The Sentinel wonders whether Longstreet or Mosby would be welcome at the inaugural. No where is etiquette more rigidly otiserved than In the old United States Senate Chamber, w hich is now the gloomy United States Supreme Court Chamber. Its frigid solemnity, it was once remarked, was suflicient to give a jiolar learthe ague. Alter Justice Walte had assumed the gown th is strictness became even more rigid than liefore. An attorney presuming to address the Court while wearing his overcoat was rebuked for his disregard of the dignity of the Court. This system did not please Senator Carjenter, and he once took a method to express his contempt for sucn conventionality that, for audacity, exceeds anything on record. Appearing in the Chamber to deliver an argument, he arose, seemingly to i address the Court, but, hesitating, he advanced into the august presence of the mighty nine nad, addressing the Chief Justice, requested him in tke blandest manner to hand him a pinch of snuff from the imifl-tox which lay on the elevated desk before him. Before the Chief Justice could recover from his surprise he was holding the snuffbox extended toward the complacent Carix-nter, while a suppressed titter ran through the asem-j blyand a smile rippled over the solemn countenances of more than one of the Justices on the Bench. "Thank you, Judge," said Carpenter, und then he proceeded w ilh his argument. ORITl'AUY. senator mitt carpkxtkk This distinguished Seuator died yesUTday mornlug in the city of Washington. A short time ago he had an attack of pueumonia, from w hich he had almost recovered, w hen, from an imprudent exjosure very recently, he suffered a relapse, w ith the fatal result as stated. He had aNo been suffering from Bright's disease of the kidney f for several years. Mr. Carpenter was born in Vermont in lsli. After spending a few years at W est Point and afterward a brief iieriod iu the study of law with the distinguished Rufus Choate, he removed West to Milw aukee and began the career of a very brilliant, successful lawyer. He was elected a United States Senator from Wioconsin in 1 '.', serving one term. He was defeated for a second term but afterward, four years later, he was auuin returned to the Senate. He had nearly finished two years of his lust term at the time of his death. Mr. Carpenter w as one of the moid brilliant lawyers of the many distinguished ones of Ihe United States Senate. One of his grandest efforts w as In defence of the claims of Tilden and Hendricks lefore the Klectoral Commission. The excoriation he gave the scoundrelly Returning Boards of the Son t hern States w ill ever he reracmticred tojiie honor and glory. Although a Republican of the extreme stalwart school, he did not ail to emphasize the rascalities of those v. ho were chief Pi counting Mr. Hayes into the iTesidency, although he might have contented hhelf and tatisfied these whom he represented with a merely legal presentation of his side of the case, which wa done very exhaustively. The Senate adjourned yesterday after brief appropriate action regar ling Mr. Carpenter's death. At Milwaukee the Senator's home his death created profound sorrow, and was the one topic of conversation there yesterday among all classes. A night dispatch indicates that the Senator's remains will be cremated. He leaves a life insurance policy of $-"0.000. Albutuenuriau This is the technical name given by physicians to Bright's Disease. It is a wasting or consumption of the kidneys, and physicians dread it. But, notwithstanding this, sufferers from Bright's Disease, and kidney, bladder, liver and 'urinary complaints need not despair.
