It will be seen that he pays a sort of loft handed compliment to the Democratic sido. IIe says: "Tho Houso is divided so evenly politically that for the first time in a great many years the co:ntro aisle separatto; tho two parties exactly. Usually, from tc(e inequality of the pat ty forces, une sido has had to inti udo to a greater or less extent upon tho other's seats. But nw the right is all Domocratic and the lof t all tepublican. There are 302 se.ts altoguther, giving 151 to each party As there are only 203 mem.. bors, all told, as the Democratic ma jurity is so sma1ll, this oven parti tion was easily cfactod. With all the State and the eight Territorial dele *ates accouimoda(:ted with pla es, and with the Speaker in his clh ir, there romaim but two unoccupiod seats on the itoor of the House.

It takes one hundred officers, at ain expense of $150,000, to keep the Senate comfortable every year. Tilden is not anxious about Ohio this fall. He doesn't bot, anyhow, on a State that has a cipher on each ond(. It shocks the. Republicans to see how greedy the Democrats are for oflice. It shocks them a good deal more to give up their fat berths. Congressman Lutrell, of Califor, nia, says he is certain that the Democrats in that State "will run their own ticket, and elect, it too." Alex. Stephens says "the Forty fifth Congress adjourned in deeper disgrace than any Congress in the history of the Government." Alex.'s supply of Liver Invigorator must have inn out.

Remark by the Memphis Ava lunJche; "If there is a man in the bounds of our Confederacy who has over soared a higher rocket and como down a flatter stick than Jefferson Davis, we are open to conviction." The stalwart Republicans must be feeling dreadfully since Blaine wont over to Virginia and fraterniz ed with the "Confederate Briga diet ,," and claim-d Virgini., as his stvpmother. It will take Billy Cirindler six weaks to recover. When a Republican becomes lon g-faced, and talks about "vital Republican principles" --being in jeoLrrdy, he means that his chances for getting victuals on the of ice b.lding brigade are sensibly dimin ished by the advancilig front of the Democracy. Local elections.were hId indeli forni on fiiiday'6f lasfveek. The Workmgmen oleoted the mayor and two councilmen in Oakland. the Citizens securing five councilmen. The Republicans c'trried Sacramen to, and the Citizens Salina. The Globe.J)emocrat publishes the sentiments and preferences of members of the Legislatures of Kansas, Wiseons,in and Arkansas on t. ho Presidential question. Grant is ducidedly the strongest man among the Republicans, but the Democrats are divided between Tilden, Thur. i;an and Hendricks, with perhaps a ntjorit.y in fa'vor of Tilden. MX. Smalley. who has been trav eling extensively in the South, wries to, i he New York Tribune that ninmstentlhs of the Southern J)eimocrats prefer Bayard for Preai +e-it ; but they want a. man who can carty New York. It is the judg mnent of inmy of ' the most astute and ardent Denocrats in Now York that Senator Jayard is the one man who is certain to carry that State, if noinated. There is nothing that seems to harrowv the Congressional soul and 1: icerate Congressional heartstrings so much as a statement of the sta-, tionery steal indulged in. Gentle. mien who( sit in th)e gorgeous halls of the Federal Caipitol dislike to be reminded of this little affair. It annoys themn. It is so troublesome to explain to those sturdy 01ld farm ers, who w~ip)o their spectacles with a red band:amua, and study over tl e items carefully. It would be pos1itively dreadful if public indig nation should break out as it did over the sahiry grab. A woian in a Kansas Pacific Railroad car sat facing a man who, with one eye at le ist, seemed to be st,uing fixedly at her-' She became indignant, and said, "Whby do you look at me so, sir 1" HIe said that he was not aware of having done so, but she insisted. "I beg your pardon, madam, but it's this eye, is it not 'U" li'fting his finger to his feft optic. "Yes, sir, it's that eye." "WVell,. madam, that eye won't do you any harm. It's a glass eye, mnadam-only a glass eye. -I hope you'll excuse it, But, uponmy soul, I'm not surprised that even a glass eye should be interested in so pretty a woman." The explanation and the compliment combined- to put the woman into a-good humor. The Chicago poorhouse became such a resort for the county ofUciale, for whose benenit the superintendent gave elaborate dinners whenever called on to .do so, that the super. visors have passed, not without stronlg opposition, a resolution for bidding Inybody .but paispers ad omnloyes to eat .d drink in the ins .sffu&&a * THE THIRTY-FOURTH YEAR.
