A Wisconsin paper states that "because Sveunev had the best ol an argument be£ora a "debating society, he was stabbed .ek-veji times with a jack-knile." It appears Kenney got the worst of it, too.

A strange innovation upon ordinary funorals was recently made at Hartford, Conn. A vwtijj woman had died, and her rclations, instead of following the usual custom of shrouding and laying her in a coffin, dressed her as she had been dressed in life, and laid her on a sofa amid flowers. She lay thus for ton days, and then was buried.
Tho following is a specimen extract from a very able and exhaustive article on the "Finite and Intinite," in a Chicago quarterly: "What is present is, therefore, Otherness in general, or a universal Being-for-Othor, which, because it is a .single Being for Other, is more properly jBo'ing-for-Ono.

As an illustration of the fraternal tenderness of tlie latter, it is related that ho was afraid "that a battle would have to be lbught on Prince Albert's aocount, as he could not be removed." Tho rail Mall Gazette thinks it would be "impossible to imagine a finer example of sweet fraternal
solicitude than this readiness to sacrifice for tho sake of an invalid's repose not only ihe lives of a few hundred, or perhaps thousand Frenchmen (for that would have been a small matter), but even the lives of his own soldiers." ,^.f
Signor Blitz, while traveling on thebars, oneo stopped at a station where an applel»oy entered the train.

"If that is the kind of fruit you Bell, I'll take another," said Britzf whieh he did, and lo there was another Inside it. Blitz, assumiug great excitement, then asked the boy what ne would tako tor the whole basket of apples, saying it would be a grand speculation. But the lad refused to sell even at five cents apiece,
And on leaving the station, Blitz saw him aeated by the wall, cutting open his unsold Apple*, In a vain search for silver half dollars.

Davis & Co., and will carry on the business after the mi.st approved style. The new firm retains the services of Mr. H. "H. James, the prescription clerk under the management of PI. A. Davis & Co., which is a start in the right diection, as Mr. J. is a genial and courteous gentleman, and understands his business.
Tin? Criminal Court, Hon. T. B. Long presiding, convened yesterday afternoon pursuant to forenoon's adjournment, but no business of general importance and interest was transacted.
This' morning the Court convened, pursuant to last evening's adjournment, and the Court pronounced sentence upon Win. Stump and Curtis Erwin. convicted of btirglary, assigning each of the offenders to the penitentiary for two years, after which the court adjourned unti Monday morning next.
THE COOPERS' BALL, at Pence's Hall, last evening, was a most enjoyable and pleasant affair. Of the many entertainments of (his kind, given this season, we think we arejustifled in saying that there have been none of which it can more truthfully be said that all enjoyed themselves in the highest degree. Toute's excellent Quadrille Band was on hand as usual, upon such occasions in^this city, and furnished the music in a most acceptable manner.
STATE TREASURER, General Xathan Kimball, turned over that office to his successor, James B. Ryan, yesterday morning. During the last four years General Kimball strictly accounted for every cent of State funds, and handed in the handsome sum of §17,000,000 during that period of time. Mr. Ryan, who takes his place, is a Democrat of the first water, but is a man of splendid business capacity and experience, and has a character for integrity that is above reproach, and it is universally conceded that he will till the oflice in the most acceptable and worthy manner.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF JURYMEN.—A Juryman, in the case of the State vs. Anna Boyle, who was tried a few days since on the charge of grand larceny, was challenged after the usiial form, preceding the case, and was asked by Prosecutor Davis whether or not he lenew anything of the case. He answered that hedid not, and was permitted to serve on the Jury in the trial of the case. It is now alleged that he did know all about it, and for reasons best known to himself, was anxious to be one of the jury that should try it, for the purpose of having her acquitted or "hang the jury." Instead of the woman being sent to the penitentiary, we understand she was sentenced to the county jail for two years. The juryman, whose name, we believe, is Elliott, and who resides somewhere in the conn try gpxt far from this city, has been indicted for perjury by the Grand Jury, which, if the above facts be true, is serving him right.
"CARRYIRG THE W'VR INTO AFRICA." —A free fight took place this morning at the Magnolia Saloon, between a young man from the country and two white men of this city, backed up by three or four of the "brawny sons of Africa."
The difficulty was brought about, as such difficulties usually are, through gambling and whisky. It appears that the young man from the country was playing "poker" with one of the whites for the drinks, the white aforesaid having already drank too much, accused him of stealing and throwing cards under the table, whereupon the game changed to one of "poking" each other's physiognomies, cxne other wliito and a houseful of African allies going for the countryman in a manner that was frightful to see one of them using a "sling shot," brusing hisviefh^s head up in a most shocking maimer.
The parties are all np before the Mayor, where a/ coufiultutipn is being held to decide how much they shall contribute to the city cotters. What the result will be, your deponent sayeth not at this writing, for reason that he knoweth not.

"TRICKS TIIAT ARE VAIN."—For a young man to think he does himself credit by hanging around theater doors, smoking bad cigars and paying for expensive oyster-suppers, in order to be called "liberal" by a clique of youth, as soft in brain as himself.
For a lady to be annoyed because gentlemen do not give her the best half of the street, and the nicest seat in the omnibus. She should remember that these conventional courtesies are not her right farther than they choose to concede them.
For an unfledged elgsrk to think lie must buy extravagant gloves and cravat for every festive occasion, because Jones, whose father is worth $80,000, does so. The best way of proving his manhood would be to'let such things alone—selfdenial is better than a fortune.
For a girl to think she is establishing her character as a young lady of fashion bv allowing her mother to toil through ail the drudgery of the house, and theu investing her money in gaudj brooches and artificial flowers.
For a man to suppose himself a gentleman because he touches his Hat to a party of splendidly dressed ladies, while he scorns to extend a helping hand to the old washer-woman struggling across the street.

Feb. 11.—Little else is

Mr. Clark, of Texas, presented a telegram fropa the Governor of Texas, with a copy of joint resolution of tbe Legislature asking tor Government aid to build a Southern Pacific Bailroad.
Mr. Starkweather, from the Committee of Naval Affairs, reported a bill to permit W. H. Hanscom, late naval constructor in the Navy, to withdraw his resignation, which was accepted oh the 5th of January, 1866, and be reinstated iu office.
Mr. Banks said that the Secretary had doubts as to his authority,1'and therefore wanted actiou of Congress in the matter. As to the charges against Hanscom, they were trumped up and sent to the House by Admiral Porter. He declared Hanscom bore as honorable a reputation as any man iu Massachusetts, and that in the opinion of the people of the country Hanscom was as superior in point of reputation to Admiral Porter as the Apostle John to the traitor Judas. (Laughter.) Even if the charges against Hanscotn were true, that he had received remuneration for giving men employment in the Charleston navy yard, (and they were as false as hell,) his character would still be better then that of those officers of the Navy who had compounded the felony and let him unpunished. He denounced it as an infamous proceeding on the part of high officialsof the Navy Department, to come to the House and say that they had detected a man in a fraud which should have sent him to jail, and bad let him go, in order that they might get his place for one of their friends. Referring to the intimidation of naval officers by the Department, he said that he had heard within the last two days of scores of naval engineers haviug said that the Tennessee, now on her way to SanDomiBgo or some other place, was not seaworthy, and that they were unwilling to risk their lives on her. He did not understand that any engineer of the Navy had said to Mr, Wade, or President White, or Dr. Howe, If you take a voyage on that vessel you do it at the risk of your lives.

and he thereby lost his place and his standing in the Department. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, closed the discussion in a speech which was very severe on Admiral Porter. But little of what he said, however, reached the reporters in an intelligible shape, as members gathered around Butler's desk, intercepting sight and sound.
The bill passed, yeas 144, nays 67, and the House, at 4:40, adjourned.
SOME husbands, it must be admitted, are exceedingly moderate in their little indignations. Thus, on tbe trial in San Francisco, of Oliver Dale, for enticing awray the wife of one J. A. Bergner, the injured hubantfs, being upon the stand, testified as follows: "I came in at times and found his (Dale's) arms around my wife's neck, he kissing her, and using endearing language to her I did not wish to lay hands on him, but I did not think it quitfe proper." It is very little to be wondered at that a wife should run away from such a husband as that, however reprehensible the flight. The gentleman's views of what is not "quite proper" dogreatcredit to his moderation.
