Kx-Sunator M ihono, of Virginia,
scored another failure this week
Ho sent out invitations for a mini
bur of Southern republicans to im ct
in conference here, his object being
to get himself endorsed for a posi
tion in HarriHou's cabinet. When
tho conference met it was soon learn
ed that about three fourtliH of them
wero bitterly opposed to the little
ex-boss, nnd it was nil that he nnd
his friends could do to prevent them
from endorsing soino other fellew.
A joint resolution re-nflirining tlio
Monroe dootrinu" in connection
with the building of tlio Pan una ca
nal, has been iutro bicod in the Sen
ate. In view of tho report that the
French Govern men t would under
take to compluto the Pinanu canal,
such a resolution was neodo I, and
tho sooner it iu unanimously passed
the better.
Huiiator Call presented an iinuionsn
petition from residents of Florida
asking for tho institution nn 1 main-
tainanco in that state of a Federal
system of quarantine, Ho also made
a Htrong argument iu favor of such n
system.
Kx-Sunator Warner Miller seems
to be getttng nlannod nbout his
chanco of getting into II irrison's cab
iriet. Ho wan here this week, con
ferring with his friend iu order to
get them to bring their inlluenea lo
boar on Senator Q'lay, who is said to
favor Piatt, in order t have him ro-
main neutral during his visit to Har
rison, wiiat succoas no met wnii
nobody knows, as Quay ono of the
fow men who do not announce bo-
foroliand what they intend doing.
There is n belief hero, however, that
Quay will impress upon Hirrison the
necessity of providing for Piatt, un
less ho wants to get a little tiibto of
the Garliold Colliding businoss.
A curious thing happono 1 hero last
week in connection with tho Union
licilio Hiilro'id bill, Mr Ingalls hav

right of way, to the exclusion of ev
erything else alter the tan I)' bill is
disposed of. ('. P. Huntington,
president of the Central a. id South
ern Pacific, railroads, came hero nnd
held a consultation with certain Sen
ators, whom rumor says he controls.
The nest day Senator Mitchell, of
Oregon, introduced a bill which is
particularly favorable to tlio Central
and Southern roads. And now some
people arc uncharitable enough to
say that Mr Huntington wrote tho
bill which Senator Mitchell introduc

h.'mM or i . nit it.
A fast young man decided to make
to a young lady a foimal offer of his
hand and heart all he was worth
hoping for a cordial reception. Put
he was a cautious young man, nnd
felt Ins way by putting a few quest ions
to her.
Did she lovo him well enough to
livo in a cottage with him Was she
a good cook? Did she think it a wife's
duty to mako home happy 1 Would
she consult his tastes and wishes con
cerning her associates and pursuits
in life? Was she economical 1 Could
she make her own clothes? etc.
The young lady said that before
she answered his questions sho would
asMiro him of some negr.tivo virtues
sho possessed. Sho never drank,
smoked nor chewed ; never owed a
bill to her laundress or tailor : nevvr
stayed out all night playing biiliirds;
never lounged on the street corners
and o;;li d giddy j,'irls ; never " stood
in" with the boys for cigars nnd wii o
suppers.
" Now," said she, rising indignantly,
" 1 am assured, by lho who know,

ffB MAY KT CANADA YET.
Tlio Aiiiiexalli.il Question l.ooiiilnir l'i
Over 'I lien.
Slowly, but bitioly. publio interest
from ono end of tho Dominion to tho
other is being aroused over the talk
of annexing Canada to the United
States. Ten years ago the proposi
tion would have been regarded as
treasonable here, but there has been
a marked change even il the past
twelve months. The unntxntion
question promises to dwarf all other
political matters. It is practically
the sole topic of conversation on tho
streets, while the newspapers are do
voting a great doul of attention to
tho subject.
The movement will meet with the
greatett favor in tho maritime prov
inojs of Ontario nnd Manitoba. Que
bee, though populated by French
Canadians, will be the greatest oppo
nent of the scheme. This is attribu
table to the conservatism of the Hu
man Catholic church, which claims
to enjoy the greatest liberties grant
ed at the French conquest The Pro
testants of Ontario very largely ts
ponso tho cause, while another cle
ment of the same reliirion will op
pose it, owing to the sympathy of the
Canadian Irish (JatuolicH, wuo, in
large numbers, hate Pritish institu
tions. Touo.nto, Ost , Oct. 5 Mr; Bras
ilia Winian, whose announcement to
tho Canadian press last Saturday
that ho was informed that tho Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations
wero considering a proposition for
tho annexation of Canada created
such a Hatter, says that the informa
tion came to him from such nn un
doubted sourco and was doomed by
him of such importance that ho con
sidered it his his duty to soud the
dispatch.
Mr. Winuin also makes public a
letter he received from John Sherman
in which the Senator writes:
"Your opinions are certainly cnti
tied to great weight, and will receive
full consideration. My own opinion
has been for luauy yearn that political
union between the United States aud
Canada was inevitable, and that
statesmen and patriots ought to look
to bringing this nbout peacefully up
on terms of perfect equality, nnd so
as to promote (he interests of both
countries. As to commercial union,
I s(;o no practical way to bring t
about. Wo will havo ainplo timo to
think of this, as the subject matter
will not iiL'ain bo bronirht up in the
Senate until next session."
Ho admitted that Senate commit
tees were discussing a scheme for
tho annexation of Canada, nnd said it
would bo only n question of time whon
it must become a part of the United
States.
Dili Electoral System.
Tho Marshall Messenger, ono of
the brightest among tho local news
papers of Texas, takes strong ground
against the proposition to abolish the
electoral college and allow tho people
to vote direct for president. "Such
n change," insists tho Messenger,
"would mean the complete destine
tion of our present form of govern
ment and the building up on its ruins
a vast, centralism. Stales would bo
converted into arbitrary divisions with
no more sovereignty than counties,
Washington would be the center of
all power, like tho city of Mexico or
Paris. State legislatures would not
long-bo permitted. In fine, such a
change would make the foundation
of a despotism nnd wo would have a
republic merely in name." Evident
ly the Messenger labors under a mis
apprehension with regard to the pro
visions contained ill the proposition to
chnngo the National election machiu-
mi I 1 lt
erv. Tlio cliangcs proposed, as illus
trated recently by Mr. Carlisle, need
not and would not in any way interfere
with State lines. Each State would
cast its vote precisely as it does at
present, the different being that the
popular voto would bo apportioned
as cast between the difference candi-
laies. These returns would be sent
to Washington and consolidated, nnd
the candidate fer president having the
greatest number ol votes would be de-
cl ro 1 elec'od. There could be no more
centralism in this than there is iu the
present system, and far less oppor
tunity for fraud. The incentive to
buy States would begone. Besides,
the new system vonld in every elec
tion have the effect to place in the
presidential chair tho choice ot the
people. The uecessitv which gives
rise to the electoral college as at pres
ent operated has passed away with
the building of railroads ond tele
graph lines, and there is no apparent
good reason for longer clinging to
what might pertinently bo termed a
useless tradition. On the contrary,
if th' csrcneo of p puhir government
is to be feiind, ns claimed, in the
pmieiple that the majority shall rule,
the chanco mg-j.-sted should be

Senator Palmer is writing a novel
Cliinpso Ca.ro of tlio Body.
Tho Chinese feel tho utmost repugnance
to any mutilation of tho body, not on ac
count of tho pain or tlio four of death,
but beciuiso of the sentiment that It is a
man's duty to keep intact, us far ns ho
can, tho body which his pnronts havo be
queathed to him. It forms part of that
system of filial piety which is tho or
thodox religion of China, nnd has ha-.l its
slmro in producing the Chinese dislike of
wars and revolutions. Patiently and un
complainingly ns most Chineso will k
through a surgical operation, It is well
known that tliey strongly object to am
putation, nnd it' is often diiiicult to iu
duco tliein to submit ' to it. They in
variably nslc for tho severed limb, which
thev either keep in a box, to bo buried

they eat it. This hitter method has tho
