Just before the expiration ot his term Mr. Davis resigned the Presi !ency ot the Senate, and Geo. F. Ed- munds, Senator from Vermont, was elected as his successor, Mr. Ed- munds’ Senatorial term not expiring until 1887. This procedure was nec- essary in order that the Presidency ot the Senate should not be vacant dur- ing the interium between the forty- seventh and forty-eigth Congresses. Had Mr. Davis not resigned, the ex- Viration of his senatorial term would have left the country without a legal sccessor to President Arthur in case the latter had died before the Senate of the Forty-eighth Congress had elected a presiding officer pro fem. Mr. Edmunds theretore was _prac- tically made Vice-President of the United States, and will 1emain such until the present Senate elects a suc- cessor. It is now well-known 1n official circles that Senator Edmunds does not wish to continue in his present position as presiding officer of the Senate, it being his desire to accom- pany his tamily to the Bermudas tor the health of his wife. ‘The Repub- hean majority have therefore indicat- ed a disposition to choose the sub- ject of our illustration, as Mr. Ed- mund’s successor, and this event | Seemed only to await the recovery ot | Senator Anthony from his late l- ness and his appearance upon the Hoor of the Senate. | SENATOR ANTHONY'S RECORD. Henry B. Anthony, of Providence, Rhode Island, was born in Covent- ry, that State, April rst, 1815, of Quaker ancestry. He graduated at Brown Unversity in 1833, and in 1838 he assumed the editorial charge of the Providence’ Journal, which he retained unul called toa scat in | the United States Senate. He was elected Governor of his'native State in 1849, was re-elected in 1550, and thereafter declined to accept the can- didacy for another term. He was elected to the United States Senate as a Union Republi- | can, to succeed Philip Allen, Dem- ocrat, and toook his seat in 1859, his term expiring in 1865. During this term he served as chairman ot the Committee on Printing. Mr. An- thony has been returned as his ewn successor each expiring term ever since, his present term ending March grd, 1889. He was elected Presi- | dent of the Senate ro fem March agrd, 1869, and was re-clected March roth, 1871. Senator Anthony was a member of | the National Committee, appointed te accompany the remains ot Presi- dant Lincoln to IIhnois, and was one ot the Senators designated by the nate to attend the tuneral of Gen- are any fires to be built let your wife | and the hired girl do it. It will give | them a fine appetite for breakfast. | Sedalia Democrat: tis said that Dr. A. H. John, formerly editor of the Kirksville Democrat, will shortly be married to Mrs. N. J. Frary, of Chicago. The bride}is his divor- ced wife, who marricd again and whose husband is dead. Holden Exterfrise: | Complaint | has been made to us, and with abun- dant cause, of the way ladies are grossly insulted by course hoodlums on the streets after night. Some measures should be taken by the | Marshal to bring these brutes to ac- count for their vulgarity. Nevada Democrat: The Rich Hill and Butler papers are likely to have as lively a row over the col- lapse of Walnut as they aid’over its | location, but they are almost a unit in one thing—the condemnation ot Nichols and Pace. These are the gentlemen they seem to think most! to blame. Nevada Jazz: Peter Gilstrap, who lives near Clinton, met with a painful accident Thursday morning. The Advocate says he was engaged in removing caps from empty car- tridges, and some how got hold of aloaded one, and in working the cap out the cartridge exploded 1n his hand. mangling it in a terrible way. | His hand will probably haye to be | amputated. s t Appleton Journza/: The Journal isreliably informed that efforts are now being made to form a company in this city for the purpose of imaug- urating a market forthe sale of thoroughbred stock. As we under- stand trom a gentleman that will be largely interested in the business, the company will be composed of un- limited capital and the sales will be held twice a year. Lamar Democrat: From tne | Bates County Democrat, we learn } that Walnut 1s not so badly crippled }as we had supposed. With the com- | pletion of the road already graded | and the two are pointing in the gen- eral direction of Walnut from Balti- | more, there is a fair chance yet for | Walnut to become the leading city in the Southwest. As an evidence that the breeding of Shorthorn cattle 1s a profitable business, the Plattsburg Democrat says: James T. Phelps bought a shorthorn cow, Moss Rose toth, for $300. Her first calf was a_ heifer, and it was the only heifer calf she brought him until the last one he got trom her. From this one cow and her produce he !ast Tuesday sol.i at public sale $4,000 worth of cattle, and had previously sold $3,000 worth at private sale, making $7,000 real- ized from the investment of $300 in| thirteen years. Harnsonville Democrat: Last December a man named Walmsley, went into Frank Beeler’s store at Pleasant Hill and asked tosee some rings. He selected two, stating he wanted to show them to another per- son and would return in a tew min- utes and pay for the one selected. That was the last seer of him until last Tuesday, when he came back to Pleasant Hill and was immediately arrested for obtaining goods under false pretenses. He plead gui'ty and was fined $40; mm default of | payment ot which he was brought | here Tuesday evening and put in jan.
