The Senior S. .Senator.
Wash. Cor. N. Y. Tribune.
An intimate personal friend ot Sen
ator Anthony visited Washington re
cently. He Miid thut the senator was
looking forward with some impatience
to the reassembling of congress, when
lie hopes to he able again to take, his
se 't in the senate chamber, where for a
quarter ofacntut v ]u- has been a fa
milinr figure. "I want to go to Wash
ington ami die in the harness," it is
.-aid, h.ts been a frequent remark of Mr
Anthony since he rallied frojnjhis severe
illness of last summer.
"While Senator Anthony is likely to
die suddenly any day." said his friend,
'"it is fairly probable that his desire to
come to Washington and enter formally
upon his fifth term of service will be
yratiticd. His friends ail hope and he
seems to expect it. There is no man in
the senate now who was a member of it
when he was sworn, March 4, IS.V.t, and
of eiudit senators who bet/an their tirst
term of service on that day, IIB and \Vii
lard Sanlsbury, of Delaware, are the

James Chestnut, jr., of South Carolina,
who are both living, were sworn in on
the same day, but Toornbs had served
one term of six- years and Chestnut had
already served one year under au ap
pointment from the trovernor of South
Carolina. Judah P. Benjamin also is. vet
living, and he began a new term in the
senate. March 4, ls."ii, hut was not sworn
until the following day. He was tirst

Mr. W. D. liow.dlf, while visiting Bal

a
reporter
who interpreted his views regarding

lows "In many respects ws excel the
I'inghsh in periodical literature. Our il
histiatioMs are of a much liner quality.
The short stories, which are features of
our monthly publications, have few
counterparts in Kr,gland. 1 think that

severed for him, and writes a thrilling
valedictory, half a column long, which
lends as follows: "Kindred spirits an*

Chief Justice Beglie,

failed to find a murderer guilty "On
I your conscience will rest the stigma of
returning such a disgraceful verdict, and
one at variance vith the evidence
on
which you have sworn to find the guilt
or innocence of the prisoner. Many
repetitions of such conduct as yours wdl
make trial by jury
a
horrible farce, and
the citvof Yict na, which you inhabit,
i a nest of immoral ty and crime, encour
i aged by the immunity from the law
which criminals will receive from the

verdict asyuurx.
Go I have t.olhim: more to say to \ou."
To the prisoner, who committed the
murder wit Ii a saud-hair, he then said:
I "You are discharged go and sand-bag

enty cents a month is allowed for her
wu-hing, and she receives Jive per cent,
upon a i purchases she makes. She is
required to give ne month's notice .be
fore leaving her place, l'ne law also re
quires that each servant Keep a book for
recommendations, in which, upon her
leaving her place, her mistress is com
pelled In state the cause and the girl's

The question ot \vh u i-ec of pins
has often been mooted but oe\er an-'

that an article of everyday use which is
manufactured in nunior*us quantities
should disappear in equal proportion.
It is estimated thai no less than ."ib,0!K)(
pins are daiiv manulactured in Eng
land and Dublin, and that out of this
number 37,"on.nod are produced in Bir
mingham alone, thus leaving i: ,0uo.niK
for the production of Dublin, Stroud and
London. The weight oi wire, both iron
and brass, co.'sumed for tins purpose
is l.'J7,"d-2 tons every year.
Chicago divorces have been universal
ly considered easy of attainment, but it
appears that in Switzerland, among the
lower elasess, a custom pre\aiis that
Hirows Chicago into the shade. There
young people marry with the distinct
undej-landing that if they do not iike
each other thev will separate. If, at
the end of the year, they shall mutually
declare before a court that they do not
wish to remain married any longer, be
cause of imcompatibility of tempera
ment, they get a divorce. Hymen's
chains are looselv worn in Sw itzei land.
