Tlie the executive of the state of West Virginia hat not certi fi d the election of Faulkner under the s ati. as required by act of congress, 2. For the reasons set out in the brief of D.i'ikl S. Lucas, a copy of which accom-panh-d the protest. 3. Because Charles J. Faulkner was, at the time and date of h;- alleged clectiou, on the 5th of May, 17, ju le of the Thirteenth judicial k-ti ict of West Virginia, and therefore ineligible to the ofilce of senator. The protest was laid on the table and o.'dercd printed in the record. The ceremony of administering the oaths to the newly elected senators was then proceeded with, such senators being called in parties of four, and in alpha betical order. At the suggestion of Mr Vest, the priviliges of the floor were given to Mr. Faulkner pending the decision of the contest. Mr. Harris presented a memorial for a constitutional amendment prohibiting t;sc manufacture, sale, importation, ex portation or transportation ol alcoholic drinks in th? United States. Mr. Hoar presented a memorial of F. Wiut:r and uthers in n spect t the seat of Seaator Turpie of Indiana, and moved it -s reference to the committee on privi leges and elections. So ordered. Resolutions were adopted to inform the house that a quorum of the senate had assembled, aud for the appointment of a committee of two senators to join a like committee of the house and inform the president that quorums of both hcuse-i h id assembled, and congress was rea ly to receive any communication he might be pleased to make. Messrs. Morrill and Morgan were ap point d such committee '-n the part of the senate. Adjourned. II. Reed by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois. The vote resulted as follows: Total number votes cast 313: of which Carlisle received 103: Reed 148, and Rrumm, of Pennsyl vania, 3. Of the four Independent, Anderson, of Iowa, voted for Carlisle, Nicholls, of North Carolina, and Smith, of Wisconsin, for Rruium. While Hop kins of Virginia did not vote. The clerk there jpon declared Carlisle duly elected speaker, and he was escorted to the ppeaker'a desk by Messrs Cox and Reed, amid loud applause. The oath of office having been administered by Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, the speaker rap ped the house to order and made a speech. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Cox, Randall and Cannon, was appointed to wait upon the president and announce to him that the house was organized and ready to receive any communication he should sco fit to make. Then the members were requested to retire behind the semi-circle of desks and the lottery for seats was beguu.

The physicians thero rely chiefly on hatha and massage thouo in Juarienbad chiefly on drinking the waters and on exercue, with the baths as supple mentary. At Ail you arrange beforehand at what hour you will take your morning bath, and you may make this as late as you choose. When the hour arrives, you hear heavy and regular footfalls in the corridor, and something is set down in front of your door. It is not your coffin, though it sounds as if it might be. The maid knocks: "The chaise a porteur is ready for madame." You rise drowsily to your feet. Jeanne puts on your flannel wrapper you go into the hall and step into the sedan chair and two bear ers lift it by its long poles and trot away down stairs with you and along the street, thronged with other such curtairvxi chairs, till you come to the bathing establishment nay, till you get into the very room whero your bath waits. There, only, is too choir set down. Then two women take off your wrapper and 6eat you on a stool of repent ance, and one douches yoq from one side, the other from the other side; and both kneed and pound you, until they, at least, are in a fine glow. This performance lasts for nearly half an hour. Then you are wrapped in blankets, arms and all. till you look and feel like a mummy you are lifted into the sedac chair the concealing curtains are drawn around you, and the two men bear you back again to your own chamber. 1 his time they carry you Into tho room they set down the chair beside the bed they lift you tenderly out and lay you on your couch as if you were a helpless infant; then they go away, and Jeanne covers you care fully and leaves you to swelter in your blank ets for twenty - minutes or more. After this she comes in, bringing a sort of portable stove with her. She takes you out of ' bed; he extracts delightfully hot linen from the littlo oven of tho aforesaid stove and rubs you dry; then she puts on your dressing gown, also well heated, and leaves you, com fortable to the last degree, while she goes for your morning coffee, This Is literally all that i3 required tf you by way of ''cure," No ono tells you to swallow vilely tastiDg waters no one exhorts you to walk no one interferes with what you shall eat or drink you have been bathed and kneaded, and you may pass the rest of the day as you please. Your Figaro and your morning coffee while away an hour of it. Then you dress aj your leisure. You wander about the littk town, Jf it is pool, or you saunter into the easino and read tho papers or write your let ters, you buy some tempting tnflo at one of tho shops or you get a novel at the very good circulating library and sit in the shade and read it. Jyouiire Chandle Moulioa in New York Mail and Express, Unearthing Burled Walnut Timber. The historic earthquake of 1614 effected many changes in the earth's surface in this part of the country, Reelsfoot lake, the pop lar resort of duck hunters and fishermen, was formed by the earthquake. A most peculiar resalt happened when the lake was made by the depression of land. The region was cov ered with an abundant growth of fine wal nut timber, much of which was buried under 1 the surface of the water. In due tune tlm j ber speculators made their appearanc and ' cleared away all the walnut forests, convert j irg tho trees into provitable lumber. I No one thought of the immense quantities . of walnut timber imbedded in the mud of ! Keelsfoot lake until a short time ago, when a ; shrewd speculator thought that a fortune was awaiting the man who could recover the buried treasure. He formed a yqmpjsnjp--: which built dredging boats and placed them j on the lake. The result was that valuable timber deposits were recovered in large quan tities, and the work is going on yet. The company is getting rich, and, has not bah? gx? )iautid the buried walnut trees, "fhe tiai ber is sold to lumbermen at high prices, in of a superior quality of walnut, the trees being large and sound. The timber lies in the loose mud under tb.3 shallow water, and Is not difficult to drag ashore. It has been, protcctmj for years ffom the eorroding influ; j- feces pj (he air, and has coyer rotted.

WAHniNOTo.v, Uec. u. A very impor tant decision and one likely to be f.ir reacliing in its consequences was rend r ed in the supreme court yesterday in the so-called Kansas prohibition cases of Mugler against the Stete of Kansas and the State of Kansas against Zeibold and others. The judgment of thu cour was pronounced in a long and elaborate opin ion by Juntice Harlan, who said: The general question in each cae i't whether the prohibition statutes of K:m bus are in conflict with that clause of I he fourteenth amendment which provides that "No state shall make or enf rce uny law which shall abridge the privileges, or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor thall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property with out due process of law." i he argument made in support of th first branch of this proposition, briefly stated, is: That 111 implied compact between the state and a citizen certain rights are preserved by the " latter wl ich are guaranteed by constitutional provis ion, and with which the state cannot in terfere: that aroonjj those rights is that of manufacturing for one's own use, either food or drink. The proposition and ar gument made in support equally concede that the right to manufacture drink for one's personal use is subject to the condi tion that such manufacture docs not en danger or affect the rights of others. If such manufacture does prejudicially af fect the rights and intt rest of the com munity, it follows from the very premises stated by counsel, that a society has l ow er to protect itself by legislation against the injurious consequoces of that husintsr. As was said in Mum vs. Illingeis, while the power docs not exist with tha whole people to controle rights that are purley aud exclusively private, the government may require each citizen so to conduct himself and so use Lia own property as not to unnecessarily injure another. But by whom or by what authority is it to be determined whether the manufacture of a particular urticle of drink, cither for general use or for the personal use of the maker, will injuriously affect the public. Under our system that power is lodged with the legislative branch of the government. It belongs to that depart ment to exert what are known as the po lice powers of the state. There is no justification for holding that the state under the guise m; rely of police regula tions is aiming to deprive a citizen of his constitutional rights, for wc cannot shut out of view the fact, within the knowl edge of all, that public health, public morals and public safety may be endang ered by the general use of intoxicating drinks, nor can we ignore the fact estab lished uy statistics, accessible to every one, that the disorder, pauperism and crime prevalent In the eountry are in large measure directlv traceable to this evil. The state of Kansas had a right to prohibit the liquor ttaffice. It did not therehy take away the property of the brewers. It simply abated a nuis ance. The property is not taken away fro.m its owners. They are only proh Ditea irom using 11 lor the B-oeci&c pur pose which the legislature declared to be injurious to the comiumltv, U L !i U U FROM ''$.-,,. Miss o FROM ii.

Behrepd'a Sermon 91abimar, For a number of years J continued to reed half of my sermons and to prepare the other half without use of the pen. But my written and speaking styles were out of harmony. J found myself living a double mental life. My preaching lacked uniformity and the indi viduality which grows out ex the use. el s single method. So I abandoned, hctix methods and adopted the thiid?thai of preparing s careful brief, mastering its contents without special attention to the language ana then freely reproducing it in speech and. without the use of a note. This has been toy habit for over fifteen years, and I am sure that tea me it is tho best. The written preparation ordinarily amounts to about 2,000 words, one-third of a fully tet itfcea discourse. The thought is put as compactly as possible, pnd with special regard to clearness and precision. No elaboration, either of argument or of imagery, is attempted at the time of compo citi,on; this is left to the subsequent review, to which an hour or an hour and a half is given immediately preceding the service, aed very much is left to the frivriun of thought which an active, ai?M retentive audience al ways excites. -'J.'
