Here is something about the great sea serpent —half and
halt, as indeed the serpent itself seems to he; half sea
weed, and the other half all in your eye:
S ed tempua receasit and this was all over
Cum ilia successit another gay rover;
Nam cum navigarct in his own cutter
Portentum apparel which made them all flutter.
pat horidus anguia which they behold
Haud dubio aanguie within them ran cold,
Tigintapedea his head was upraised,
Et corporia aede i io secret was placed.
Sic serpens manebout so says the same joker
Et aese ferebat as stiff as a poker;
Tero in fricabat against the old light house,
Et sese liberabat ol scaly detritus.
Nunc plumbo percussit thinking he hath him,
Et serpens ezsiluit full thirty fathom,
Exsiluit mare with pain and affright,
Conatus abnarc as fast as he might.
Neque ilia secuti; no nothing so rash,
Terrore sunt muti, he makes such a splash;
Sed nunc adierunt the place to inspect,
Et squamus videruet. the which they collect.

Ad locum accedat, they’ll show him the scales;
Quas, sols trophaa, tney brought to the shore,
Et causa eat ea they couldn't get more.
people have ceased to marry and it
being customary to form “matrimonial alliances,” Susan
Jane writes to inquire il euch an alliance is to be conside
red offensive or defensive. She is answered, “Offensive
when misfortune or difficulty is to be encountered and ov
ercome; defensive, when sorrow or sickness assails; and
expensive according to the number ol youthful parties ta
ken into the concern.”
In the good old town of Milford, Connecticut, where
the elm trees are covered with moss, or something like it,
and the people are so quiet and stay-at>homeaiive that
some of them have never been out of the town, since they
were born into it. there lives a diy, sly old Justice of the
Peace, named Higgins, who will have a joke when he
can, even when dealing out justice according to his no
tions of right and wrong—for it’s little of law that Squire
Higgins knows. The other day a loafer was tried before
him, and bonds were required for his appearance before
the next county court.
“Who is your bond?” demanded Higgins of the culprit.
“1 am,sir,” said loafer No. 2, Stepping out from the
crowd, and looking enough like the prisoner to be bis
brother.
Higgins, the Justice, eyed him a second or so, and thun
dered out, -‘We did’nt ask for vaga bond, it’s another ar
tide we want; you won’t answer at all; you can go.”
He went; and loafer No. 1 went to jail.
Don’t you want to buy a Cooler? —The Pee iDee (S. C.)
Herald, of the 16th ult., is responsible for£the following
good one:]
It is perfectly refreshing at this lime to have a good joke.
When the freshet has done its work, the peach crop failed,
the “Bullace” vines cut down to make hoops, and no
prospect of corn, a good joke is perfectly relished. Some
few days ago, as the train on the Cheraw ,and Darlington
Railroad was coming up, and making time in 2:40 style,
an old negro was seen on the track waving his hands as
it’ in great distress. The obliging conductor put down the
brakes, turned off steam and stopped the train; the passen
gers were on the alert, and the engineers and firemen the
personification of curiosity, when the old negro walked up
wirh an air as if he had done the road a great favor, and
with a self-gratified look, said, “Ma-aster, don’t you want
to buy a cooler I" t
The Senate of the United States.
On entering the Senate chamber, the first person
disclosed to the view is the Hon. Jesse D. Bright
of Indiana, the President of the Senate. He was
elected to this position at the death of Vice-Presi
dent King, and held it uninterruptedly until a few
weeks betore the close of the last session, when he
resigned it for the purpose of going to Indiana to
attend to the chances of his re-election to the Sen
ate. He was succeeded in the chair, for the re
mainder of the session, by Senator Mason of Vir
ginia.
Mr. Bright is a large, dark, atrabilislooking man
—with dark skia and black hair—about forty-five
years of age, and weighing perhaps two hundred
and twenty-five pounds. A service in the Indiana
Senate (of which he was also the presiding offi
cer) for several years, so commended him to his
party that he was elected to tl.e Senate of the
United States to supply the vacancy created by the
expiration of Mr. Hannegan’s term of service.
He is, by long odds, the best presiding officer I
ever saw, over any deliberate assembly. The rules
of the Senate he has committed to memory, and he
is far more familiar even with the ordinary usages
of the body than many a Senator of double his leg
islative experience. Questions of order are always
decided by him with the utmost promptness ; and
always correctly. In a two years’ observation in
the Senate I do not recollect ever to have seen one
of his decisions overruled.
An incident occurred at the beginning of the
first session of the last Congress wh ch will illus
trate his familiarity with the rules, and with par
liamentary law. The Senate had determined, on a
certain day, to go into the election of Printer—
and the contest was an animated one between Ni
cholson, the editor of the Union (who was the ad
ministration candidate) and Beverly Tueker the
late Printer and editor of the Sentinel. When the
ballots were counted by the President of the Sen
ate there were two blanks, which he counted in
making up the aggregate, and which consequently
required one more vote to elect Nicholson than if
the blanks had not been counted. After two or
three ineffectual ballots—Nicholson having come
within one of an election—Mr. Vulee, of Florida,
who was warmly interested in Nicholson’s success,
rose and protested against the blank ballots, saying
it was a violation of the rules of the Senate. In
support of this he commenced reading a rule sus
taining him in the clearest manner. Bright, quick
ly but quietly, remarked, “Will the Senator please
state whether that is a rule of the Senate or of the
House of Representatives It turned out that it
teas a rule of the House —and Yulee had to take
his seat, utterly confounded.
The only time he ever descended to the floor to
engage in debate w as in the support of the Thomp
son claim—the recent payment of which by Mr.
Secretary Cobb, after being disallowed by Mr.Guth
rip, has caused such a stir among the Democracy.
Thompson was a citizen of Indiana, and as such
had a claim on Bright’s services, independent of the
personal friendship that existed between them. He
had become involved in a difficulty with Manyper.-
ny, the Commissioner of Indian affairs, growing
out of this claim, which had become violently per
sonal. Manypenny was a citizen of Ohio, and
was sustained in the Senate by Pugh of that State.
Every day, for nearly a week, Bright and Pugh
had it, nip and tuck, in the Senate; but Bright fin
ally triumphed. ‘The Senate passed favorably on
the claim, but Mr: Guthrie still refused to pay it.
Thompson was about to sue Guthrie in the Feder
al Court, when the new administration came into
poi er, and the claim was allowed by Mr. Cobb.
Mr. Bright, as a presiding officer, was remarka
bly patient and strictly impartial. I have seen him
sit for hours in the hot summer days of 1856, list
ening to the prosaic dullness of Stuart or Bayard,
or the interminable harangues of old Gen. Cass.
It was seldonrhe ever vacated the chair, but when
he did, he always selected oue of three or fonr
Senators to supply it. These were Weller of Cal
ifornia, or Clay of Alabama, or Foote of Vermont,
or Stuart. I suspect he often selected Stuart to
keep him from boring the Senate with his speech
es.
He is a man of warm friendships and bitter hat
reds. In Indiana a political rivalry has existed
for several years between him and Gov. Wright;
but Bright has always triumphed. He is said to
be immensely rich, which goes a long way with po
liticians in these degenerate days, and if the Union
hang togelher four years longer, and the Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency be taken from
the Northwest, Bright will in all probability be the
man.
In my next I will pay my respects to the Sena
tors on the floor, beginning with Brigadier General
Wilson of Massachusetts. Essex.

For Picking Cotton in the Field.
r PHXS valuable machine second only to the invention o

change in the method ot gathering cotton from the field.
Ii will do the vrerk of Iron* tiiree to five haed.s in picking
Cotton from the etalk and is eminently a labor saving ma
chine. Its benefit to lue planter is incalculable. Jt picks the
Cotton clean and free from trash, loaves :t in excellent con*
dition for Ginning—obviating the necessity of exposing the
hands to heavy dew’i,rait:? aud cold—and horn the rapid
ity of its work, will enable li*e planter to prepare hid crop
tor market at an early day, leaving him time for the im
provement of his land, houses, enciosurea and general ar
rangement ofthe plantation.
It is light, weighing about eight pounds, i* suspended by
a strap over the shoulders, and is operated by means? oi a
crank turned by the hand or tiagere. The simplicity of
his machine ia its leading feature—it is not liable to get out
of order, and any negro of ordinary capacity incompetent
to use it. One harvester with proper care will last a series
of years.

Dr. Cavanaugh—Dear Sir: 1 wish hereby to make
known to the aSlictcd that I have been troubled with the
Piles for twenty years or upwards, and at times most se
verely. And during a recent and most painful attack, a
friend procured a box of your Salve and asked me to give
it a trial. I did so. Not,however, with tbe exudation
of benefit!it,” my disease,for truly, I have tried so many
applications I had lost confidence in all. But in making
use of your Salve, I soon found that it was doing rne
good; arid really it is incredible to myselt, that with only
about two weeks use of your Salt e, I am, as far as I can
judge, a well man.
I most cheerfully make this statement, believing it is due
both to yourself and such as may be afflicted with this \
most trying and painful disease. Ido not hesitate to say
that I consider your preparation an invaluable remedy so j
thu Piles. Most sincerely yours.
