The roll-call of the new Senate is worth a little study. All the letters of the alphabet are represented in the seventy-three names constituting the list save six,—viz: Q., U., V., X., ¥. and Z. E., the letter which comes much oftener in use than any other in the construction of the English lan: , has enly two representatives on the \—vig: Messrs. Edmunds and Saton,—while no less than seven names (eight, counting the Vice President.) commence with W., a letter that stands to E. in every day use as 1 to 8 or 9. The letter ortenest repeated in the list is C., which has ten re; atatives, the next in order being M., with nine. Following these, in numerical succession, comes W., with seven, as siated above; then B. and S., with six each; H., with five; D. and J.,eact with four; A., F. and R.,with three; E.) K. and P., with two. (unless Pinehback should finally be declared pure metal, and admitted, which would give the P’s three,) a L., N., v. ard T. with one each. The Macs have three representatives,—viz: McUCreery, McDonald and McMillan. The familiar names of Jones and Johnson are each repeated—one of the latter, however, having a¢. Neither Camo- ron, Ferry or Morrill are at all common names, yet, curiously enough, eath is dupti- cated on the list. On the other hand, the old and wiely known firm of Smith, Brown, Jones & Robinson has nobody to represent its numerous progeny on the floor, except the two Joneses, unless Senator Robertson may also be considered as belonging to it, which is doubtful, owing to the defect in spelling bis name. A good deal of sport has been made one. way and another over the obituary verses which find their way (at regular advertising rates) into the columns of certain news- papers, notably in Philadelphia and Balti- more. This is not tobe wondered at, con- sidering what absurdly conceived and wretchedly expressed stail the most of it is. Yet some of the noblest poctry that ever was ¥ritten, and some that will last as long as the language, is clegaie in racter. What for ix e, could be finer than ‘rai Johnson's’ famous tribute to the Counte Pembroke: & mother siain another ‘air, and wise,and good ax she, Time shall throw his dart at thee i this, like Niobe, Shall turn marble and become Both her mourner and her toi), Or could anything be more exquisitely beautiful and tender than the good Bishop of Chichester’s ‘Exequy on the Death of a Beau- tiful Wife,’ written more than two hundred years ago: “Sleep on. my love. in thy cold bed, Never to be disgnieted, My last ‘Good Night:’ thon wilt not wake TiN I thy fate shail overtake; i © crief, or sickness must Marry my body to that dist It so innch loves, and fill the room My heart keeps empty in thy tomb. ‘Stay for me there: I will not ‘To meet thee in that hollow alo; And think not much of my delay, 1am already on the way; And follow thee with all the «peed Desire can make or sorrows breed, Each minute is a short degree, And every hour a step toward thee. “At night, when I betake to reat, Next morn I rise nearer my west Of life, almost by eight hour's sail, Than when sleep breathed his drowsy gale. ate If it be true, as has been stated, that Lieut Hoxie gave orders some time ago that the street name labels in the corner gas lamps should be put right side up and proper side foremost, his directions have been most wo- fully disregarded. They are still in such « condition of irregularity and vonfu: make the whole town liabl drunkenness in the not somebody—Gen . the Commissioners, Lieut. Hoxie, the contractor or the lamp washers, or some other authority or subordinate—kindly see thai they are put torights, and at once? As they sta: they are disereditable alt around. ‘The telegraph hastened to State jast week that the Cheyennes, under Stoue Cul!, six- teen hundred strong, had come in to the Cheyenne Agency to surrender, and had agreed to go into camp, attend daily roll call, ete. Considering the severity of the winter, it is surprising that they haye not done these things long ago. And the fact that they have not is suggestive. These win- ter surrenders don't count for much with the noble red man. They hold good no longer than until the grass is green on the plains, when the war path may again be taken with advantay Only suminer surrenders mean good faith and a friendly disposition on the part of an Indian, and these, alas! never come, or very rarely. The suggestion made in this column several Weeks ago to the effect that the notion and fancy goods dealers should be turned out of the capitol has been acted upon, so far as clearing out the old hall of the House is con- cerned. This is very good, so far as it goes. But it does not go farenough. The whole gang should be banished from the building, or, at the very least, relegated to the base- ment, where the restaurants are quite con- tent tobe. The latter are necessary, doubt- less, for the comfort and convenience of Rep- resentatives and Senators, rather than for the benefit of the general public, and are therefore allowable; but to grant to others the special privilege of carrying on private business in the capitol, rent, light and fuel free, at once belitties so noble an edifice and injures other dealers the’same class of goods throughout thecity. It is to be hoped that the next Congress will break up the abuse. Much impatience was manifested at the opera last week towards the nice-looking young men in ulster overcoats who disturbed the audience by jumping up and hurrying out just before the curtain dropped on the last scene éach evening. This feeling, which reached an outward and unmistakable ex- pression of displeasure at times, seemed natural enough at fifst thought; but it is quite certain that no gnch sentiment would be entertained, much less exhibited, if the matter were fully understood, as if ought io be, by the whole audience. The simple truth is that all these young men are private coachmen and footmen, and they are obliged to get outside in advance of the audience in order to have the Carriages and wraps of their masters and taistresses ready by the time réAch the outer door.

Mr. Murray, thé ‘Apostle of the Adirondacks,’ is doubtless one of the best posted men in the country in regard to the topography and beauties of that attractive region, but he seems tobe strangely ignorant concerning the other mountain localities in SS) nening Star. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1875. TWO CENTS. of the continent, reaching an elevation of 6,782 feet, or 439 feet yes than Mt. Wash- i 1,265 feet Mt. Marey, the ide of the Adirondacks. Dr. Murray shoald post himself up on elevations before he comes so faraway from Boston again to talk about mountains. ate The author of the ‘Strangeér’s Note Book’ in the New York Sun, whose criticisms on Boston and Boston peopte, by the way, fairly stood that city on its head, does not seem to be very favorably impressed with the gov ernment art treasures in and about the national capitol,—nor, indeed. with the capi- tol, itself, for that matter. He recards the 's bronze doors at the east entrance of the rotunda the only really tine work of art outside the building. Of the pictures, he considers Trumbult's, in the rotunda, as the most valuable, on account of the historical material they contain, while searcely more than two or three of the rest are worth the space they occupy, nor one-fourth of the enormous sums paid for them. Kaufmann's ‘Columbus before the Council of Sala- manca,’—which, unfortunately, the govern- ment, does not own—he pronounces certainly the best of all the pictures that are now to be seen within the walls of the capitol. Bier- stadt’s Lepeawrn ined in the chamber of the House are snubbed entirely, although Schef- fer’s Lafayette, close alongside, is referre:t to. Nor is any allusion made to Moran's ‘Yellowstone’ ‘and ‘Colorado.’ the govern- ment’s latest acquisitions in the way of art, although it is likely that, on account of the obscure place in which they are bung, they were not seen by the writer. Two EXRcUTIONS IN MARYLAND—Gal- lows Preparations in Harford and Talbot Coun- ties—On Friday next, March 12, there will be two exections in Maryland of colored men for the murder of white women. Prepara- tions are being made by the sheriif of Talbot county for the execution at Easton, on Fri- day next, of George Wheeler, colored, for the murder of a middle white woman named Margaret A. Whitman, ped 8, 1874. He is attended by a clergyman of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, and says he is pre- pared to die. Tue prisoner is about 23 years of age. The necessary arrangements are_ being made also at Belair, Md., by Sheriff Jarrett, of Harford county, for the execution en Fri- day next, March 12th, of Joshua Griffin, col- ored, for the murder of Miss Susan Taylor, near Perrymansville, on the 12th of October last. The Harford Demoerat says: The place selected is near Belair, on the almshouse farm. The execution ‘will be as private as possible. .A piece of ground thirty-two feet square will be inclosed by a high and strong board fence, and within this the gallows will be erected.’ No person will be admitted within the enclosure but. officers of the law and representatives of the press. The con- demned man has until quite recently mani- fested the utmost indifference to his fate. Now, however, he appears to realize his posi- tion, and is very much depressed in spirits. He listens with increased interest to the counsel of the various ministers of the gos- pel who visit him from time to time, endeay- oring to assist him in preparing for death. His chief spiritual adviser is Rev. David Baker, of the Colored Presbyterian Church, who visits him nearly every day, and who will probably attend him in bis last mo- ments on earth. Wo Cavcur Tom BaLLarp?—The de- teetives are wrangling over the $5,000 reward offered by the government for the arrest of Tom Ballard, who was recently sentenced in this city to 30 years’ imprisonment for coun- terfeiting. Messrs. Reynolds, Dickerson, aut Henderson, of Buffalo, demand the money. on the ground that they were the first to asce.tain that the Ballard =. and that they were ich the secret’ service officers re- es information which led to the arrest. Officer Perkins, who was sent from Wash- ington to work up the ease for the govern- ment, claims that he, and his men are cn- titled to the money, as they found Tom Bal- lard, the Buffalo officers having found only Ben and George Ballard. There is some trouble with the plates aod dies taken with the Ballards. The plates, made for counter- feiting United States money, legally belong- ing to the government; but it cannot claim the plates for making Canadian counterfeits. These Messrs. Dickerson and Reynolds claim for the Canadian government, which it is said, will pay liberally for them. There is no means of knowing what the government Will do in the matter, and it is believed that it will take some time todecide the matter.— Albany Times, 4th. FREIGHTS TO CUMBERLAND.—We hear thata car-ioad of merchandise was brouglit to this city —— from the east on the Pennsylvania road. “When it was hauled up to the Baltimore and Ohio depot that com- = y’s officers would not allow it to be un- leci_ there, and it had to be taken to 2 siding in the upper part of the ote involving cartage, charges, ete., the Pennsylvania com. pany not having a ofits own. Thurs- day, however, chronicled a itive con. cession by the Baltimore and io r ailroad on Cumberland freights, a reduction having been made on the fi: class—which includes groceries, etc.—front thirty to eighteen cents, or forty per cent. This reduction is denomi- nated “special,” whieh means, outside of road lings, temporary. We hope it will be —— like the coal tariff! —Cumberiand Yews, March 5 CHANDLER ON THE Reciprocity TRea- Ty.—Some Bay city, Michigan, ‘ties who were bound to fight the reciprocity treaty to the death and after, forwarded another re- monstrance inst it a few days ago to Senator Chandler, and received the following acknowledgment: Gentlemen: Yours of the 18th instant has been received. The reciprocity treaty with Canada is, I am happy to say, as dead as Julius Cesar. There is no need of pousing water on a drowned mouse. Very truly, yours, Z. CHANDLER. THE CuRAN WAR.—The news from the Cinco Villas is decidedly unfavorable to the continuance of Spanish power. The govern- ment keeps silent in regard to the progress of the war, and silence means defeat. So far as at present known the destruction of sugar es- tates by the troops of Gomez has been enor- mous, and the crop is very likely to be com- paratively small, as the destruction con- Unues.
