The opening day was a comparatively

closed the fact that it ie composed of
rather am unusually fine body of men,
graced by a nnmber of old Tanafrfaf
faces whom the fortunes of politics bad

they had once retired. Abram S. Hew¬

has become histeric. Only a few' fe4t in

The Speaker-elect, Gen. Kiefer, is
like GarfieM, a self-made man. He fit¬
ted himself for the higher duties of life
while working on a farm and acquired
an education by dint of bard labor" arid
bard study, but had scarcely broke begun his
career vyhon the robelfiori out.

given him a good standing of in the House.
The feeling that, booauee j.ho eleva¬
tion of a citizen of the east to the Pres¬
idency the Speakership ought to go
west, contributed largely to Gan. Kfiif
or’a eelcctioD. He started with mjich
more strength than any other candidate,,
and, therefore, it was natural for the
western members to rally around him
when it Cfqne to a choice between an
eastern uud western man. Gen. Koifor

is termed' the “stalwarts.” bap as his,

Lovers of the delicious bivalve will
be disappnimdd to know that the crop
of the lower peninsula ha* been mate¬
rially sheeted by the recent dry spoil.
While fair oysters are gathered a Cris
field and the shipments froru this point
are extensive the crop elsewhere is very
poor. When tho supply of fresh water
from tile streams emptying into the bays
in which the oysters grow is Vmali as
during the present fall tho bivalves
fculfer greatly becoming *o salty iu il'.t
Besides vor a* to be in a degree unpal.itaSlo.
this they Ho not appear to
thrive and are rarely found in a well
fattened condition. At the fisheries
this serious impediment to growth is
partially repaired by the uee ef artificial
weans iu the shape of “monitors or fiats.
The oysters are taken from the rock in
their present unprofitable condition,
epread upon these Uau aud taken to
fresh water and suuk. Here they re¬
main several days iu these feeding
grounds. When raised to the surface
they are found to be fat palatablo and
ready‘for snipmeut. Another ingenious
plan to briug fullness to the most dys¬
peptic looking of the crop ie upon baing
shucked ta place them in a barrel with
I twonty .fivo pounds of ice. The barrol
can be fastened tightly and put upon
tho cars. Tho ice iu tho barrol will
last for several days and by the tinje
the AVe8tern dealer gots his consign¬
ment tho lean aud hungry bivalve will
have consumed tho ice and built upon
this sustenance a full smooth aad nu¬
tritious mouthful. The present rains
are expected to havo a marked effect
upon the oyster and materially reduce
the prevailing higher prices.— Philadel

How Daniel Webster Proposed.
In old times it was tho fashion for a
suitor to go down pn his knees to a lady
when he ask her to become his wife
which with very stout gentlemen was an
uncomfortable proceeding. The way
in which Dauiel Webster proposed to
V, teber was more modern being
at -inoih»r i-vus-vug^ lover noat tie andj>o«tie. was' Like
many once
ing a »kein of thread or wool which the
lady had been unraveling. “Gracia,’
said he, “we have been untieing knots;
let us see if we cannot tie one which
will not nntie in a life-titdfe.’ With a
piece of tape he fastened the half of a
true lover's kndt; Miss Fletcher perfect¬
ed it aud a kiss put the eeal to the sym¬
bolical bargain.
The Cotton Crop.
The New Orleans Democrat of tho 2d
inst, publishes special telegrams from
all portions of the cotton country giv¬
ing the latest news of condition of tho
crop*. The reports from Alabama show
a decrease in the crop of twenty per¬
cent. as compared with that of last
year. In Arkansas the entire crop is
gathered and will range from forty to
fitty per cent, below that of last year.
Jn Georgia the crop will bo generally
one-third short, except around Colum¬
bia where the yield is better than last
season. Parishes in Louisiana .show a
great difference iu yield Morehouse
not raiaiug onesthird of a crop while
St. Landry has nearly an average yield.
The yield for Mississippi is about sixty
tlino per cent.—somewhat less tbau was
anticipated. In Tennesseo tho crop
will be about forty per cent, of that of
last year. The Texas crop will be half
an average one.
Somo people in a Georgia town
struck a square solution of the Mormon
problem m putting a stop to the elo¬
quence of the Utah missionaries, by
firing upon them at Brooks Mills. No
one was hurt but the missionaries mado
tracks for tho border. This stopped
tho work of the saints in Georgia.
Probably the guns were not loaded
with anything but powder and and the papor noise
but the sight of the gnn will
was terrible. They never come
back.
They wero sitting together Sunday
evening with an album between them
when*he pleasantly asked, "‘how would
you like to have mother live with yon?”
In just three seconds he had his hat
half way down over hi6 face and was
ooitiug through the gate.
There have boen many defltfitions

most eaapeatie is that given by a young
lady? “A geptfoma^, she “IS a hu¬
