[Jfrw York Sun.p The elections of this year pretty clearly foreshadow the political changes of the Senate of the next ilongrcss. The Senate consist of seventy-six members. In the present Senate there are forty- three Democrats, including David Davis, and thirty-three llepublicana. T|i«> fy- .good -bis aseanmew:—'Sntnome mer have a majority of ten. The terms ave a majority of ten of twoniy-Sva Senators tyive on ilm 4th of March,TtiST. Of tjiese fourteen are Democrats and eleven are Republi cans. Eight of tho Democrats are from tho South and six are from the North— namely, Eaton, of Connecticut; Kerman, of New York; Randolph, of New Jer sey. Wallace, of renn^ylrama; Thair- man, of Ohio, aud McDonald, of In diana. The successors of the eight Southern Senators will probably be Democrats, though there is a hare possibly of a change in one or two instances. The re cent elections show that the six Nor thern Seuators above named will have to give way to Republicans, excepting perhaps Mr. McDonald. Among the eleven Republicans whose terms expired with this Congress is Mr. Bruce, the colored Senator from Mississippi. He is sure to be succeeded by a Democrat, while the seats of the other ten arc certain to be filled by Re publicans. Taking tbs foregoing facts for the basis of our calculation, the next Senate wid bo composed of thirty-eight Demo crats, cone*tsg Judge Davis as a Dem ocrat, and thirty -eight Republicans—a tie. If Mr. McDonald should be sue-' needed by a Democrat, and there should be no s’ip in the South, then the 8eu ate would stand thus: thirty nine Dem ocrats and thiity-seven Republicans. Pretty Vt omea. Is it not a strange fact, that uot more than a dozen masculines will ever agree as regards heruty in women, and that we have no standard to mark this ex cellence; form or figure are not cvciitk- fined, much less the facial features— neither the hand witli its soft pressure, nor the foot, whether large or small, forming a requisite. Nor the eye, the ■window of tho soul, whether it be Hack, nut brown, melting blue, or • intelligent grey. ’ The beauty of.women consists in more than n fine complexion, or stylish dress, for either of these may be possessed by a most hateful virago. The tact ol making themselves agreeable, is, tho bas : s of beauty’s structure; lire hoatt culture must be real, no counterfeit, or it will not bear washing, and it is even so much preferable to that of the hesd. A selfish woman is not long cared for by any one, and although much has been written by talented writers on “beautv of face,” beauty of character will lost, nnd, in the end, be found far more de sirub'e; it will brighten homes, under clouds, and be a continuous sunshine to husbands and children.—Home Circle. The Loudoa correspondent of the Puicinnsti Rnquirer tells the following •lory. The moral will bo obvious to. those who have anything’to •a§:To Paris, last 8ummer,J saw a friand of mine, who had just come over, usings pen of pdculhtr construct iuu, designed with special reference to ifceeo untidy peveons who, like myself, ink their Hu ger* when they write. Now, ipy ffieud is a man whoso hands arc os white, as lilies, with finger nails like rosebuds in tint—noticeable bands, even remark able,, considering that he is an cldeily man, and who occasionally helps with the lighter work on his farm in Nebi-as- ka. Cstcltli im inking h is fiftgerq 1 “Why, where did you get that nice pen?” I asked him, a vista of bli.«.fijh exemption from on uninked middle finger opening on my joyogs, expectant mind. *r •Tn Omaha,” he answered. t *It's the nicest things I used to ink my lingers before I got it 1” ’ inked Hiis flngew ? That was enough for 1 me. I got the name of the murchai.t from whom be bought the pen, tho price of -it; and in- ulosing^tho money, I seat.from Paris to Omaha for tho pen. By the last steamer it came to me. The stationer at , Omaha ffii out of them, but lie seat to Sioux City, to the man that advertises them, for another lot. And now hero is where the laugh comes in. The pens are an English in vention, and tons of them can be had in London, if desired. At tho stationer's, next door, I could have g</t what I had sent after to Sioux City. But how could I know that ? I dealt with the man that advertised. — ——•—— 1 I-1 ■HII^ Yrr- ^ - IIw-w Chawdler Fleeted Iflayes. j [Pbllidelphift Prc«.] - Hhi second service was after the Presidential election of 187G, when, as Chairman of the National Republican Committee, he announced to the people the election of President Hayes by the majority of one vote in the Electoral College* To maintain tha.t majority it was r.cccjsary to hold thd'votes of Florida, Louisana, Diegan and South. Carolina, in alt of which States there were early indications of tftuble. Sena tor Chandler assumed the task of making tw employment of persons to enter the necessary prepare the required proofs and general ly to protect the interest of thft Republi can party in those States and in the Electorial Commission. These expenses he mot out of his private funds, and it U undeistood that the cost of attorneys and agents and their necessary expenses invoved art outlay of over $U),OOl), for which he did not receive reimburse ment. . I-Vcemiin, the Advcatlef. la. dieted. The grand jury of Barnstable county has indicted Charles Freeman for mur der in the first degree. Freeman is the man who took his little child's life in a fit of religious frenzy. He had been foremost among the adventisra of Pocas- set. During the night of the 1st of May he awoke his wife and told her that he had been called upon to otfer a great sacrifice. He had been told to offer up his little daughter Edith, a pretty child of five years, lie got a knife, slipped up to the couch on which she was lying asleep. Ho hoped that the Lord would stay his hand, but He did not, and Freeman raised the knife and plunged it into the sleeping child's side. Edith gave one groan and died. Freeman and his wife were arrested and lodged in jail. They expected tliat little Ed th would be raised from the dead on tho thiid day ami were sorely disap. pointed. The jury did not indict Mrir Freeman. NEW Y •t A D VERTt&LMEXTS. FfIty)J)AMlSH, (formerly of Barnwell.) /‘FRED L. PINK HAM. B AMISH <& PINKS!

Man loves the mysterious. -A doud less sky, aud the full blown rose leave hint untouched; but the violet which hides its blushing beauties behind the hush, an4 the moon when emergning from behind a cloud, arc to him saarecs of inspiration and of pleasure. Modesty is to merit what shade is to a figure in painting—it gives boldness and promi nence. Nothing adds more to female beauty than modesty. It sheds around the countenance a halo of light which is borrowed from yirttie. Botanists havo given the rosy hue which tinges the cup of the while rose the name of ‘‘maiden blush.” This pure and delicate hue is the only paint Christian virtue should use. It is the richest ornament.. A wonan without modesty is like a faded flower diffusing no unwholesome odor, which the prudent gardener will throw from him. Her destiny is melancholy, lor it terminates in shame aud repent ance. Beauty passee like (lie flower of the al’>e, which bldoms and dies in a lew hours; bat modesty gives the female chimu which supply (he place of the transitoryTrcslucM of youth. Uud Ulna There. The impudence of some men is very great. They have tho faculty of intrud ing into alt sorts of company, and, with a kind of devil-may-care air, doing and sayiag just what they please. But one of the men came to grief a few days since. Riding. in a New Orleans street car, ho raw seated , before him a dark, Spanish'looking beauty, whom he be came very solicitous to know. -As there watt very few present, he volunteered to address her : ‘•Madam.” he sail, ‘T trust you will- pardon the impertinenoe of my saying so loan cutireftranger, but you resemble a sister of mine greatly,” “Indeed 1” ‘•Yes—almost ber exact counterpart.” “Was your sister a mulatress?” “Ob. no I” “Well, I am i" The gentleman had no more to say ; the conversation dropped.
