CURIOUS FA (JTS CONCERNING OUR GOVERNMENT. The first session of the first Congress •held in the city of New York, on March 4th, 1789. Of the twenty-six Senators only eight appeared and took their seats 'that day. There being no quorum, the Senate adjourned from day today, until March 11, when only the samo members being present, it was agreed that a circular should Iw written to the absent 'members, requesting their immediate attendance. No additional members put in their appearance on the next day (March 12) and the members present, ad journed from day to day until Wednesday, (March 18th) when no additional members appearing it was agreed that another circular should lie written, particularly desiring their attendance, in order to form a quorum. So it appears that for two weeks only eight Senators were present and eighteen absent. But on the next day, Win, Patterson, a Sena tor from New Jersey, appeared and took Lis seat. On the 20th of March no ad ditional member appeared. On the 21st,

Richard Basset, from Delaware appeared and took his seat. There being no quorum yet the members present adjourned from day to day until March 28, when Jonathan Elmer, from New Jorsey, appeared and took his seat. No other meml)er appearing, an adjourn merit toovc place from day to day until April 0, when Richard Henry Lee, of Virginia, then ap]earit)g, took his seat, this consistuting a quorum. So we find that thirty-throe days elapsed before before a sufficient number of members •appeared, to constitute a quorum—thus indicating either a grlat want of confidence in the new government or a remarkable lack of greed for the honors and emoluments of office, greatly in •contrast with our modern politicians and statesmen.

Our fathers were perplexed and divided in rogard to tho stylo or title to be bestowed upon the President and Vieo President of the United States Accordingly on April &J, 1789, a committee was appointed by the Senate to consider and report upon this subject They reported on May 8, in favor of the title of "His Excellency." This was voted down, and anew committee was appointed.

The Committe reported "That in the opinion of tho Committee, it will be proper to address the President: His Highnexa, the President of the. United of America, and Protector of Their Lib erties. This report was postponed, and the following resolve was agreed upon "From a deoent respect for the opinion and practice of civilized nations, whether under moiiarchial or republi van forms of government, whose custom is to annex titles of respectability to tho office of their chief magistrate and that on intercourse with foreign nations, a duo respect for the majesty of the peo-

finzarded

lo

of tho United States may not be by any appearance of singularity, the Senate ha* been induced to be of opinion that it would bo proper to annex a respectable title to tho office of President of tho United States but the Senate, desirous of preserving harmony with the House of Representatives, whore the practice lately observed in presenting an address to the President was without the addition of titles, think it proper, for tho present, to act in conformity with the practice of that House: therefore, "Rosolved, That the present address be 7b the President of the. United StaU'8."

This resolution passed, and hero the subject appears to have been dropped. It has been asserted that Washington himself was desirous of the title of His Highnes.1. But this statement needs continuation, and Is probably untrue..

This proposed title seems to us, uow, decidedly ridiculous. But in matters of this kind, everything depends upon custom. Even in this generation we are absurd ainj ridiculous enough to apply the title of "His Excellency" to the Governor, and "Hon," to every man who has held an office, from a member of Congress down to a representative in She State Tx^gislature. •Immediately after tho first President was sworn into office, the Chancellor proclaimed: "Long live George Washington, President of the United States!"

If theee incidents savor somewhat of the ceremonies and usages of monarchy, tit ahonld be remembered that our fathers kad then but recently emetged from a •monarchial form of government, and tfcat they and their ancestors had been 4oyal subjects of the kings of Great Britain, and ours, being the first experiment of Republican government, in •tnodera times, on a large scale, It was not to be expected that everything should be immediately accommodated to the new order of things.

Times change, and we change with ibem. "His Highness, James D. Williams," Governor of Indiana, would .now sound funny but it would not have •appeared strange in 17SP.

TKRKK HAUTE, APRIL 1, 1882

LONGFELLOW'S FIRST POEM. When Longfellow was nine years old, his teacher wanted him to write a composition. Little Henry, like all children, shrank from the undertaking. His teaeher said: "You can write words, can you not?" "Yes," was the reply. "Then you can put words together?" "Yes, sir." "Then," said the teacher, "you may take your slate and go out behind the school-house, and tfcere you can find something to write about, and then you can tell what it is, what it is for, and what is to be done with it, and that will be a composition."

Henry took bis slate and went out He went behind Mr. Finney's barn, which chanced to be near, and* seeing a fine turnip growing up, he thought he knew what that was, what it was for and what would be done with it.

A half-hour bad been allowed Henry for his first undertaking in writin compositions. In a half-hour he carrie in his work, all accomplished, and the teacher is said to have been affected almost to tears when he saw what little Henry had done in that short time

MR. FINNKY'S TURNIP.

Mr. Finney had a turnip, And it grew, and it grew Lnd it grew behind the barn,

And the turnip did no harm.

And it grew, and it grew. Till it could grow no taller Then Mr. Finney took it up

And put it in the cellar.

There it lay, there it lay, Till it began to rot Jim utxau iwu When his daughter Susie washed it,

And she put It in the pot.

Then she boiled it, and boiled it, As long as she was able Then his daughter Lizzie took it,

And she put it on the table.

Mr. Finney and his wife Both sat down to sup And they ate, and they ate,

Until they ate the turnip up.

BARNUM AND HIS CIRCUS. Gath. I thought it looked like second childhood last night, when I took my children to Barn urn's circus on the opening night, to see there Grant, and Conklin, and Sickles, all sitting together an looking at the horses, while everyone of them was an inferior personage in the eves of those ten to fifteen thousand people, to old Barnuin himself who stepped into the ring, aftor a grand barebacked act, with his head of curly hair growing floury with time, and thanked the audience "for the patronage he had received from them for forty years. What politician has lasted like old Barnum And he is not morf of a humbug than most of them. It s- iMued to me, however, that while the old *i had enjoyed so much favor, he had ..ui much improved the circus. I missed the ginger-bread, the pop-corn and the lemonade of a former day, and also, I fear, some of the stomach which made them so good. The female performers haye improved in almost every department, while the male eques trians have altogether fallen off. In stead of the athletic riders, like Melville and Robinson, who used to make the circus an almost gladiatorial arena, we now have pretty girls in tights, jumping from the roof into netting, or lifting up tables with their teeth.

LIBEL SUITS. St. Louis Post-Dispntcli.

Most people bring libel suits against newspapers when laboring under excite inent and when they conceive tho idea that the public is expecting them to do something by way of vindicating themselves. Many persons smarting under a sense of inquiry, are persuaded to enter suits by barratrous shysters who eithor want to see their names in print or who are driven by hunger and want to jein in a scheme which can but be classed as indirect blackmail. Two-thirds of these libel suits are taken by the so-called lawyers on contingency. That is to say they divide the proceeds of the hunt with tho injured plaintiff. It is gralify-

ing to know that out of every hundred .... ... f.r Kb tag one hundred dollars in the shape of judgment are divided between the legal hyeanas and their patrons. The fact seems to be pretty well understood now, and libel suits are net as fashionable as thoy were a few years ago

thousand dollars worth of fibel suits brought against the press not more than

A BIT OF PATHOS.

The New York correspondent of the Syracuse Journal tells a pretty little story:

A pretty and pathetic incident has been related to me of a little fellow from one of our charitable institutions who was boing taken to aNew Jersey farm, by an agent, the owner of the farm having had the boy "bound" to them for a number of years. The agent noticed that the boy kept placing his right hand inside of his jacket on the left side, aud occasionally would furtively peep within with a tender look. At last he said, "What have you got in there, my little friend?" "Oh, nothing, sir" he replied, "only a bit of my mother's dress, which I've sewed in my coat it was the dress she had on when she died, and now it kind o' comforts me to touch it.

COSTENTENUS' RIVAL. Now York Special. Irene Woodward is tho name of a tattooed woman who made her first appearance on Monday morning at a museum, here. She is nineteen years old, and has hever been exhibited before. She says that she spent most of her life liv ing in a settler's wagon with her father tattooed a spot on her arm. The pro gress was painful, but she liked the resuit so well that she urged him to tattoo her more. During the next six years in his idle momenta he tattooed her entire body with skill and taste. There are representations of Insects, animals, men and women, flags, shields, mottoes, and many other things.'

LITTLE THINGS FROMNA TURK'S BOOK. "Books are a wonderful help," says Bill Nye, "but a man ought not to be satisfied to go through life and be always •n the borrow from other people's brains. He ought to find out some taings himself ana leave* little to posterity in payment for all that he has learned from others. Few book-learned people know that when a horse crops grass he eats back to him, but a cow eats outward from her because she has no front teeth in her upper jaw and has to gum it that some kinds of snakes lay eggs and some don't, but give birth to their young that a cane gets its fall growth in a Tear, whet hent is large or small, and the limb of a tree never gets auy higher from the ground, no matter how nigh the tree grsws. These facts I have learned from studying nature."

STAGE FRIGHT.

HOW SOME LECTURERS FEEL BEFORE THEIR AUDIENCES.

W. A. Croffut in Detroit Poet. I went the other evening and caught Robert T. Burdette of the Burlington Hawkeyein the ante-room at Chickering Hall just before going upon the stage with his funny lecture. *, A—h!" he exclaimed with a tremulous snspiration.

Well, but I'm glad you've come! Now talk to me! Talk to me!" and he continued walking up and down the floor, after shaking hands. "What's the matter What ails you What do you mean I said. "Are you rehearsing? Have I interrupted you? Do you want to be alone?" "No! No! he exclaimed, eagerly walking up to me. "Don't leave me. Don't go away." "What on earth is the matter?" I asked. "Scared he said, with a querulous laugh. Then I laughed. "You don't believe me It's true though I'm afraid to go on the stage." "Pshaw, man!" I said. "Why, you are joking. You have lectured *for years." "Yes—seventy-five times this winter— but it doesn't make any difference. I have to go through this absurd experience every time. There's no getting used to it." "How does it make you feel?" "Feel? Light as a cork! If I was outside I could ny right over this building! Honestly and sincerely, if I knew I had got to die to-night I should] pray that the Lord would take me just before I went on the stage." "Many have this same experience. That's some satisfaction," I suggested, "if misery loves company." "Yes," he said "I tola Beecher about my troubles, and he said 'I can tell you one thing for your consolation you'll never get over it! I suffer every "time I go before an audience, and am afraid of my own congregation.' But his experience doesn't give me much comfort." "Does your fear vanish when you get. on the stage?" "No. It lasts some time, usually. 1 poke around the audience for a familiar face, and when I find a friend I lecture rightat him and don't notice anybody else. Gough tells me that he does the same thing. He says he often finds himself talking to some sympathetic and responsive little group in one comer, telling bis stories to them alone as if they were in a little room together."

He looked at his watch. "It's most time to go on the stage. If it was respectable, I'd run away. The notion of feigning sickness often comes over me as it does over school-boys who want to play hookey. Are you my jailor looking up at a gentleman in a swallow-tail who seemed waiting for him

"Yes you have four minutes vet.' get a reprieve asked the "Can't I culprit forcing a grim smile. "Not this eveniug. Any other evening. You remind me gf Theodore Tilton. When he appeared here, though he had lectured five hundred times, he was so frightened that we couldn't get him on the stage for a long while, The hall filled up. The'audience clamored. And he, hesitating to faco them, walked up and down this room, deaf to our entreaties, 'washing his hands with invisible soap in imperceptible water. Finally we got him through that door at half past eight."

I told Burdette that Wendell Philips assured me once that he had bad similar experience then I skipped around into the orchestra. The funny man came on the stage, began in a tremulous voice, and his troubled eye wandered over tho great audience till it found friends, with whom he quietly settled down and made himself at home.

HOW TER A NNO YING. When one is invited out to a hearty dinner, how very annoying to feel such dyspeptic s.ymptoms as retastingof the food, belching, heat in the stomach, heartburn, etc. If thus afflicted, your digestive organs are weak. Nothing assists nature so effectively in giving tone and strength to the stomach, liver, and bowels, as that Queen of all Vegetable Tonics, Dr. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla.^It is a certain cure for all kinds of dyspepsia. It also cures nervous weakness. It is kind and friendly to the brain. It makes good flesh and blood. It cures hysteria, nervous ex citability, wasting of the muscles, and expels all blood impurities. For brainworkers it is especially beneficial it checks all tendency to insanity.

"How is your son coming on "Oh, I am having a power of trouble with him." "What's the matter now "Well, you know I couldn't send him to school, because, thanks to Gov. Roberts, there are no free schools, and I could not afford to send him to a private school." "Yes, I know that iS so." "Well, I sent him away from Galveston, out to the frontier, and as luck would have it, he was convicted of horse stealing, and got five years in the penitentiary." "That was bad." "No, it wasn't, for you see at the penitentiary he could learn a trade and become a useful citizen.'' "Well, that's good." "No, it isn't, for Gov. Roberts has pardoned him out on account of his youth and ignorance."

A NEW WAY TO COLLECT OLD DEBTS. Brooklyn Eagle. "I suppose I might as well destroy this," said the tailor, disconsolately, to his wife, taking Bp a bill due him from one of thedeacons of the church to which they belonged. "Not a bit of it," replied his wife. "Give it to me."

The next Sunday morning, when the plate was passed for subscriptions to pay off the floating debt, she dropped the bill in it, and before th9 middle of the week It was paid. "Marriage is a lottery," remarked the happy tailor, as he pocketed the money, "But I advise every man to take the chances."

EMBRACING A SPIRIT FORM. OPENING THE CAR WINDOW.

MRS. HULL'S.

N. Y. San.

"You may quote me as saying that I saw the pretended materializing medium, Mrs. Hull, exposed as a fraud on Sunday night last," said the theatrical manager, J. H. McVicker, yesterday, when a Sun reporter asked his version of an occurrence that has created a good deal of remark among believers in^spiritualism. "The way it occurred was this," continued Mr. McVicker. "A company gathered at a private house by invitation to see some marvelous materializing phenomena to be producedby Mrs. Hull, who has been for some time astonishing many visitors at the house of Mr. Hatch, in Astoria. The only gentlemen visitors present were Mr. J. B. Sammis, Secretary of the Rubber Cushion Axle Company, Dr. Collins, and myself. There were eleven ladies. Most of the party were spiritualists, and believers in materializing manifestations. I was invited by Mr. Sammis, and, so far as I know, there was no intention to attempt any exposure. Mrs. Hull was accompanied by her husband, a very geutlemanly person. I ara free to say that I had not much faith in Mrs. Hull's ability to produce materialized spirits. "The SQance was held at the house of a lady who was not suspected of any collusion. The spectators sat in a'front parlor, andacurtain was stretched across a doorway leading to a small back room in which was a lounge. It was pretended that Mrs. Hull would lie on this lounge while the materialized spirits appeared outside the curtain. When the so-oalled spirit forms appeared in the doorway they pulled aside the curtains and fixed them carefully back, so that the spectators could see a form on the lounge. The light in our room was rather bright, but in the back room, where the lounge was, the light was rather dim. "This made me suspicious from the first. I was satisfied not only that the form on the sofa was not that of Mrs.

Hull, but I also distinctly recognized Mrs. Hull's features in the so-called 'spirit forms.' But I did not wish to make a scene, so I said and did nothing. The alleged spirits beckoned the various members of the party to approach, and asked whether they recognized any relatives. If the spectator asked, 'Is it mother?' or 'Is it aunt?' the spirit always said 'Yes.' One young girl said she recognized the spirit of her mother. She was permitted to give the spirit form an affectionate embrace. I was myself called up, but could not recognize the spirit. All the materialized forms were those of females. A ladv present said she recognized one of the materialized forms as that of Mrs. Hull with a sot of false teeth taken out. Some of us noted a suspicious reappearance of the same pieces of illusion worked with cretonne that partly concealed the face. Others noted that the gloves and other attachments of the different spirits were similar."

Finally one of the spirits beckoned to Dr. Collins, who was sitting in the most distaut part of the room. What followed the appearance of Dr. Collins is related by Mr. Sammis as follows: ""The medium made no objection to our sitting quite near aud approaching the spirit. Dr. Collins advanced closely as others had dono. When he got near enough to see, he became satisfied that the 'spirit' was Mrs. Hull. He reached out his arm to embrace the spirit, and as soon as he got a firm hold of her waist, he whirled ner out into the middle of the room amid the astonished spectators. Mrs. Hull screamed, and^her husband, who had been sitting beside the curtains, apparently taking no part in the performance, suddenly sprang forward and grappled with Dr. Collins, seeking to release Mrs. Hull. But the Doctor is a strong young fellow and held on until the lights were turned up. 'You don't understand the laws governing these things,' shouted Mr. Hull, as hepeppered the Doctor. 'We understand that this Is a fraud,' replied the Doctor, holding Mrs. Hull tight in one arm while ho defended him

self as well as he could with the other. The struggle was brief, and Mrs. Hull soon got free and ran for her quarters behind the curtains. But I intercepted her, and called upon some of the ladies to go and see what was on the lounge. They did so, and found that instead of Mrs. Hull, there was a neat dummy made of the blankets supplied to her to prevent her from catching cold while she was in her alleged trance. There also they found a large part of the spirits, including the illusion veil, the cretonne, and other faflailiar attachments. The exposure was perfect, and from beginning to end Mrs. Hull had nothing to say. She was pale, nervous, and frightened. Mr. Huil was panting and excited, and vigorously insisted that the company did not know the laws governing this*thing.'£Mrs. Hull is about for-ty-eight years Wd, of medium height and slight build, and has dark eyes and a pale face. She has become noted for her materializations, and held many seances at Astoria. Some of her exhibitions were given before Henry Ward Beecher. She is apparently in ill health, and, after the exposure, was the picture of desolation and despair."

HOW HE GOT EVEN. New York Star.

Noticing a very respectable looking man at one of the down-town restaurants deliberately put a napkin in his pocket the other day, I asked the proprietor if many of his customers unconsciously did such things. "No, not many/'said he, "I do it myself, though, sometimes, and every week some customer brings back a napkin unconsciously carried off in that way. But I have an old customer who unconsciously selects a napkin that isn't marked if he can find one, and unconsciously puts it in his pocket when he goes away and he is a rich man, too." "But why don't you speak to him about it said 'I. "That would make him mad, and he never would come here again. The way I manage it Is to unconsciously add ten cents to his check."

"SIMPLY WONDERFUL." The following is 'an extract from a letter received July 6th, 1880, from which it will be seen that Compound Oxygen did a work which, to use the patient's own language, fan "simply wonderful!"

THE EXPERIENCE A GALLANT MAN GOES THROUGH IN THE EFFORT.

Bnrdette, in Burlington Hawkeye. Maybe a man feels happy and proud and flattered and envied and blessed among men when he sees a pretty girl trying to raise a window on a railway car, and he jumps up and gets in ahead of the other boys ana says, "Allow me?" oh, so courteously, and she says, "Oh, if you please I would be so glad and the other male passengers turn green with envy, and he leans over the back of the seat and tackles the window in a knowing way with one hand, if peradventure be may toss it airily with a sim-

le turn of the wrist, but it kind of on, and he takes hold with both hands, but it sort of doesn't let go to any alarming extent, and then he pounds it with his fist, but it only seems to settle a "little closer into place," and then he comes around and sne gets out of tho seat to give him a fair chance, and he grapples that window and bows up his back and tugs and pulls and sweats and grunts and strains, and his bat falls off, and his suspender buttons fetch loose, and his vest buckle parts, and his face

jets red, and his feet slip, and people and irreverent young men in romote seats grunt and groan overv time he lifts and cry out, "Now, then, all together," as if in mockery, aud ho bursts his collar at the forward button, and the pretty young lady, vexed at having been made so conspicuous, says in her iciest manner, "Oh, never mind, thank you it doesn't make any difference," and then calmly goes away and sits down in another seat, and that wearied man gathers himself together and reads a book upside down—oh, doesn't he feel good, just? Maybe he isn't happy, but if you think he isn't, don't be fool enough to extend any of your sympathy. He doesn't want it.

DIDN'T BLAME HIS BOY. N. Y. Star. Last Summer there was a queer story about town, of the young sou of an old New York merchant, who, being sent to Europe to break up his courtship of an actress, took the actress along with him and married her in London. When the happy pair returned, tho son was sorry for what he had aone, and the father undertook to get him a divorce. Perhaps were served, evidence collected, and the suit is now pending. The other night the actress in the case was playing at Booth's Theater. The old merchant lives close by. After fuming and fretting for an hour or so, he suddenly took his nat and went into the theater to see what kind of a looking woman was his daughter-in-law of whom he was trying to rid himself As ho took his seat the actress, displaying a trim figure and a neat pair of ankles, was looking up lovingly into the face of her stage hero. The "old man sat through the act, and then, as he passed me going out, I heard him mutter to himself: "Well, well, I don't blame the boy any more. That woman .would charm an obelisk, let alone a green-horn like my Joe."

FULL OF KINDNESS. Washington letter. A remarkable colored man in Wash ington is Wormley, theproprietor of the hotel of that name, which is acknowl edged to be the bost kept houso in the city. Of Mr. Wormley, to bis honor be it told, that if the members of his formor master's family would have allowed it his house and* his purse were theirs. The first use he made of his prosperity was to bring bis old mistress to his fine hotel and to give her the best room in it, and, on hearing that a granddaughter of his master was in Washington in a government office, ho wont to her, invited her to make his house her home, and when she told him she could not accept that, be proposed that she should pay him what she would havo to pay a boarding house and take tho best his house afforded. "Don't you know,'' she answered, "that if it were known that I lived at Wormley'.s it would bo said that my property was a pretense and I should lose my office in a week And if 1 explained how I live*.] there nobody would believo that so much disinterestedness existed in the world."

HO WALL IGA TORS EA T.

An alligators throat is an animated sewer. Everything which lodges in his open mouth goes down. He is a lazy dog, and, instead of hunting for something to eat, he lets bis victuals hunt for him. That is, he lies with his great mouth open, apparently dead, like the 'possum. Soon a bug crawls into it, then a fly, then several gnats and a colony of mosquitoes. The alligator don't close his mouth yet. He is waiting for a whole drove of things. He does his eating by wholesale. A litfrle later a lizard will cool himself under the shade of the upper jaw. Then a few frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes. Then more mosquitoes and guats light on tho frogs. Finally a whole village of insects and reptiles settle down for an afternoon picnic. Then, all at once, thero is an earthquake. The big jaw falls, the alligator blinks one eye, gulps down the entire menagerie, and opens bis great front door again for more visitore.*"

MR. WALKKR MCPHKRSON, Springfield, Mass., writes: "I have been peculiarly unfortunate in life. My guardian robbed me of the fortune left me by ray father, and at the age of twenty I found myself poor in puise and poor in health. I married a young girl whose health soon broke down from overwork and household cares. Oar six children gave her great trouble and were very puny and mckly. My doctors bills were larger than both grocery and dry goods bills together. Last year I brought home a ~bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters foe my wife. She used it and gave it to the children, I also nsed it myself. Never did I imagine such a miraculous change from ill-health to perfect health possible. I think each bottle troely worth its weight in gold."
