fsiuTHEifS SENATORS. j Group of Thera a Sscn Through Gain s spectacles. fjrrcspondcnce of the Cincinnati En quirer. COCKRELl.. Edmunds to"k the seat in a few minutes, bald -headed and of a pe coliar cranial formation- certainlv rjyt ot lofty and god-like shape, but rather on the line of Calvin, or some of the mart vr twister tw o or three hundred years ajjo. Thus he has ,'eea compared to St. Tcrome, some what because he looks like a certain picture of St. Jerome, but more be r . i cause he is or that old tneoiogicai cyjjc and has been preverted into politics and statesmanship, rather than oc cupying his normal place in polem - ,V and hair-splitting. However, he is a clean, experienced, accom plished man. and it is little of a re flection upon him that every body calls Cockrell ot Missouri the Ed munds of the Democratic side. I looked down at Cockrell, who seem ed tcbe a substantial farmer with a respectful countenance, but not much apparent magnificent in bis endowment, ana saia i: iiy you call him the Edmunds ot the Senate?". ,i "Because," said the young tutor, "he is always on the watch lest some fob or bill should go through." V ., ' - ' , RIDDLEBERGER. . j.The first : man 1 observed was young Riddleberger, from Virginia. I had expected to see for him a very tall and middle-aged, slab-sided, swinging-armed man. On the con tra I beheld a genteel, rather blushing young man, lithe than tall, sophomoric, and somewhat hand some, dressed in a neat suit ot black, and who might have passed for the son ot some other Senator. Said I: "That is the man who fought a duel some time ago while running for office?" "Yes." said my instructor, "he did snap cap or something of that kind with a political opponent. Thev say he is a tine speaker on the stump ; but he is going to have hard work here to get in his stump orato ry. They all subside after they reach the Senate, becaue there is so little ot the contagion of genius in this body that after a time a kind ot cool chill falls over them, the result of their own mediocrity, like skim med milk on a freezing day." MAHOSE. Then came in Mahone, a kind ot a queer, gray weasel of a man with the suggestion of a skeleton about him and a borrowed beard; some such a man as the Fly ing Dutch man might have mustered in his wizard crew under the orders to sail on forever. His eves were without cither enjoyment or repose, but seemed to be on the watch like some of the smaller quadrupeds which are born bid and seem to gei ;iy their intancv. This little forked witch of a man glided to his seat as if he were about to Take command ot the Flying Dutchman and steer on for another century. I looked at him with a sort ot shudder, and it seemed a "romance of many hun dred years ago, since he had com manded a great division of the rebel army and been -suggested by Gen. Lee to succeed in its command. Mimrg" butler.

It is always agreeble to discover in one's opponents good, natural and human traits, and on such men as this future ot the South must hang. Mv recollection is that Mr. Butler, even under the carpet bag rule in South Carolina, was a rather reciprocal man. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. ! at par. That is a long step towards j prosperity.

About the best way to tell real from the imitation sealskin sacque is to have your neighbor s wife buy one. Your wife well tell you all about it the first day. A fashion magazine has an article on ''What will the coming girl wear?" If the article refers to the servant girl of the future she will probably wear the best the land af fords. Francis Parkman, ths historian, says that two-thirds ot the few hun dred women who want the ballot in Massachusetts have a standing quar rel with the Almighty for not mak ing them men. Statistics fnvosce. From the Pall Mall Gazette. A French philosopher has been collecting the statistics ot divorce and lecturing-on the theories with which they supply him. The re sults art interesting, a.id in some re spects singular. Some well worn theories are quite upset by his tacts and figures. Taking a fixed stand ard of 1,000 marriages, the philoso pher distributes all countries into three groups group A, where the divorces average from 1 to 5 in the 1, 000; group B, where they run from 6 to 10; group C, where m a thousand marriages there are from 11 to 28 divorces. It is strange to find among the first class the Italians, thf Unvinr.s And the Scotch. It seems the only point in common among nationalities otherwise so op posed. The Swedes, the orweg ians, the Dutch and the Hungarians are in the second class, while the third includes most other European neoples. The philosopher insists tnnt the laws of a country have no influence on these results. Norway and Denmark have the same lawsy and Norway is moral and Denmark is loose. Switzerland is one repub lic, but in the canton of Lucerne there is scarcely ever a divorce, and in Appenzell there are a great many. In Catholic countries, as a rule. there are many. Much depends on profession. Artists and men ot let ARE AIN'T EI- I will pay the highest market price In. Spot Oali, For Hides. Furs, Wool, Pelts, Feathers, Beeswax and Rags.
