Impeachment. Senator Henderson was examined by the Impeachment Managers on the 20th. He said the Missouri delegation called on him, and urged impeachment from a party point of view. He rejected this view and informed them that his duties were judicial, and not political. Sonic fad ing arose, when, under the excitement of the moment, Mr. Henderson said he would resign his seat. Upon retlcction he concluded this course would le wholly inadmissible, and he so informed the members. He said he did not believe the int labors intended corruptly to influence his vote. He thought they had taken a false and erroneous view of the subject, and were at first disposed to pursue it with too much zeal. lie was asked about dining with the Chief Justice, and said he was the only one of the fourteen Senators reported who really dined with him on the occasion mentioned. He had no communication with the Chief Justice with reference to the reported new party, nor had the Chief Justice ever attempted to influence his mind on the subject of impeachment, nor did he believe that the Chief Justice tried to influence the mind of any Senator. In relation to the Cabinet changes, he said, in his judgment, too mnch of the controversy between Mr. Johnson and Congress srirings from the advice of an incompetent Cabinet, and that the selection of more able and less selfish men from either or both the parties would tend to give peace to the country and restore confidence to business. He stated that no assurance of any character what ever had been made directly, or indirectly to him by the President, or to any one else, so far as he knew, and if they had been made, they could have no influence on Ids judgment. After giving his evidence, he protested against the right of the committee to examine him in matters relating to Senators, and said he would not attend again until he had laid the case before the Senate. The Managers continued their investigations on the 22d. The witnesses in attendance were S. S. Cox, General Thonias Ewing, Jr., Perry Fuller, John Henderson, and several other Indian agents, Samuel Ward, Mr. Leggett and Treasurer Spinner. Reports of the testimony were very incomplete. The Managers are very reticent, and most that was known had been collected from witnesses. Senator Pomeroy denies the authoi ihip of a letter heretofore produced and sworn to before the Managers, 'purporting to have been written by himself The following is the letter : " I will in good faith carry out any arrangement made with my brother-in-law, V uns Gaylord, to which I am a party. Edmund Cooper had testified before the Managers that he had been approached by a person, acting in the name of Senator Pomeroy, proposing for forty thousand dollars to control enough Republican votes to secure acquittal. The person to whom Cooper referred in his testimony as the one who read the letter purporting to come from Pomeroy was a Mr. Leggett, of Washington. On the 22d he appeared before the Manageis and swore that to his knowledge Mr. Pomeroy had never written or authorized such a letter, aud further, that he (Leggett) had never read such a letter to Cooper. Among the witnesses examined by the Impeachment Managers on the 23d were Thurlow Weed, Collector Smvthe and Sheridan Shook, of New York, and John E. Rish y, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue. But little could be learned as to the nature of thj evidence elicited. One dispatch says th inquiry was principally directed to the end of finding out how money may have lieen raised for the President's defense. The Impeachment Managers made quite a lengthy report to the House on the 2"th. which they announced was only partial, being intended to show the necessity of bringing 31 r. Woolley before the House for contempt They stated that they had very important evidence which they did not communicate. A Washington special says it does not seem that the Managers have yet L en able to trace the plot directly through to its successful result, but only to show that every energy to corrupt men was enlisted in it, with what result the country can judge. In the Impeachment Court, on the 2Cth, a motion was made and carried that the Senate proceed to vote on the second article. The vote stood, guilty, 35 ; not guilty, 19. A vote was had on the third article, with like result, when the Court adjourned riiie die. QUASSIE 8 Til 1ST. Dear Urannie k with as no longer!

For Oranaie this all would not do; Till she palled at John's sleeve in the twilight To be certain before he had gone ; And he smiled a" he heard the old question " Are you sure they are meetin'-folks, John?' When Minnie came home from the city. And left heart and hapuuaess there, I saw her cloe kneeling by Qnaala, With the dear wrinkled hands on her hair; And amid the lew ob of the maiden Came softly the tremulous tone " De wasn't like meetin'-folks, Minnie ; Dear child, you arc better alone." And now from the corner we miss her ; We hear that reminder ao more ; But still, anforgotten, the echo Cames back from that far-away shore ; Till Sophistry slinks in the comer. Though Charity sweet has her due. Yet me feel. If we want to meet Grannie, 'Twere best to be meetin'-folks, too. Entertaining a Russian Nobleman awaree. Some time last fall a stranger applied to a certain lady, who keeps a boarding house in this city, for board. He was a foreigner, and his manner and eonversatioa bespoke him to be a gentleman. The lady took him as a boarder, and he remained with her until the month of April last. While boarding at her house, he became acquainted with a Inker's daughter, to whom, in due time, he was betrothed. He was unremitting in his attentions to his affianced, and " all went merry as a marriage belL" One fine day last month if there was such a day he announced to his landlady that he was about leaving the city, and to her profound astonishment informed her that he was a Russian nobleman, and showed her papers and passport verifying his statement. He told her that he was compelled, several years ago, to fly his native land, to escape the consequence of the displeasure of the Czar, which displeasure ne naa mcurrea lor some supposed political ofTense ; that he had just received a letter from his father, a high dignitary of the empire, informing him that the Czar had pardoned him, and that he must return immediately. The Count, for such he is, bade adieu to the baker's daughter, and departed, assuring her that he should return again and claim her as his bride. Scte Hai en Jenrnd. Little RoorE.

Hazen," in the L'hicatjoem, savs there are some things a man can t do, as follows : Some woman, in a suiltlen burst of ingenuousness, has acknowledged that there arc some things a woman can't do, and expresses unbounded admiration for the men who do these things so deftly. Well, what if they can do two or three things better than a woman? I, for one, am not going into ecstaeies over them, nor will 1 make a standing exclamation point of myself because they can "do up" bundle and curry an umbrella. Woman can do a hundred things that they can't, but they never think of making a great fuss over it. One thing a man can't do is to own up frankly that he can't do everything better than a woman can. Another thing he can't do is, to carry " the baby.' I've tried them, and 1 know. You just take one a baby, I mean and "do it up " in blankets and shawls, all snug and nice, and give it to Joseph to carry; and while you are putting on your sneque and hat, just keep your eye on the baby, and you will sei an ominous squirming in the bundle, and hear certain half-suiothcred but to you well-understood sounds. Upon investigation, you will find the baby very red in the face, and its heels where its head ought to be. You take it and shake it up a little, give it a soft pat here and there, and restore it to him "right side up." Will he acknowledge it was his fault? Will he confess he don't know how to carry the baby Not a bit of it. He will insis"t that you gave it to him wrong side up, or that it was the proper mode of carrying a baby. Thirdly, as our parson used to say, about the time "that he ouirht to have said " seventeenthlv and lastly" he can't hook up a L. h 's dress ; at least he couldn't years ago, when ladies wore them hooked up in Um back. There were always three or four hooks and eyes tliat I couldn't reach, and times without number I've called upon " my John" to hook them. The good, clumsy fellow would fumble away with fingers that were all thumbs, while he grew red in the face with his efforts to make the" plagued things hitch, giving you Let me think ! What else is there that ue can't do He can't make tatting, or crotchet : he can't wear crinoline, nor manage two yards of trail ; he can't wear a " love of a bonnet," or a balmoral boot : and last, and best of all. he can't say " no!" to r.n offer of marriage, and that's the blessedest privilege we women have.

After music by a band in attendance, Gen. Grant appeared upon the steps, i accompanied by Gov. lioutwell, wlio made i a brief congratulatory address, alluding to the General's past services in the war, , and the farther services which they now required of him in peace. He said he would be supported by those whom he had t conducted victoriously through the greatest civil war of our tunes, and with honorable except ions, opposed by the same persons and principles which had been battling against the life of the nation. The General responded as follows : " Gentlemen Being entirely unaccustomed to public speaking, and without the f desire to cultivate that power laughter, 1 it is impossible for mc to find appropriate . language to thank you for this demonstration. AU that I can say is, that to what ever position 1 may be called by your will, 1 shall endeavor to discharge its duties with fidelity and honesty of purpose. Of ay rectitude in the performance of public duties, you will have to judge for yourI selves by my record before you." Three cheers were then given for Gen. I Grant. Hundreds of the crowd then entered the house and eoncriituhitexl the gentleman, The procesdo then moved to the resi- ; dcnce 0f Speaker CoUkx falls having ma(jc for him, he appeared at the door of his residence, and was introduced' to the crowd by Representative Pike of, Maine, and spoke as follows: "My Fiuknos I thank you with all the emotions of a grateful heart for this nattering manifestation of your confidence ! and regard.

History records, to lü'i lnimoriai nonor oi our organization, that it saved the nation, and emancipated a race. We struck the fetters from the limbs of the slave, and lifted millions into the glorious sunlight of liberty. We placed the emancipated slave on his feet as a man, and put into his right had the ballot to protect his manhood and his rights. We staked our political existence on the reconstruction of the revolted States, on the sure and eternal corner-stone of loyalty, and we shall triumph. I know there is no holiday contest before us, but with energy and real, with the principles that humanity will prove, and that I Delieve that God will bless, wc shall go through the contest conquering and to conquer, and on the 4th day of March next, the people's chainhub peoples votes

Never trust a man whose stomach is out of order take no stock in him whose bowels is unsound. Intelleck is nothin ; heart is nothin, onless there's a stumick under them on wich to build.

To the naked eye he win a splendid specimen, and he came tip t the stand so gallant that, notwithstanding he carried in hin hand a Mlver pitcher wich the niggers uv Cineiumiti give hiui for defendin a fugitive from Kentucky, our people duicred him vociliTous.

Our folks looked disappointed, but it wuz too lale to oliangc. A loose, two-sided wrapjicr was thrown over him.

The Art of Making Money. A sensible writer says: Of all the : rts that have ever interested hn Bitjrj this i-, the one which nine-tenths of the civilized world most desire to understand and practice. Lectures have been delivered upon it by practical men ; but it is not on record that the people w h listened to then ever made as much by the lesson they received as they paid for the tickets of adodasloeL The truth is, that to call money making an art is a mistake. To make money on anything like a grand scale ret pj in s a special faculty or a combination of facultio, with which not one man in a thousand is en dewed. Whoever has this (pialiricati n can make I fortune, though he may possess but the rudiments of an education ; whoever lacks it will probably fail to do so, though his mind is a store-house of learning. What people mistakenly call the art of money-making i- ifanpll jth application of an innate knowledge of human nature to pecuniary purposes" This inlwirn faculty of reading the brain, and of the understanding how to make the most of the perusal, is a great gift, ami Bftaj be turned to account in nobler ways, perhaps, thaa ss a means of reaping golden harvests. The manner of the direction depends apea the other faculties. If its poaseaBOV loves riches more than fame, it will make him rich; it' fame more than wealth, it will make him famous.
