TnriDAV, May 4. Senator McMil
lan, from the committee on commerce,
reported favorably on the bill to exempt
all vessels engaged in the navigation of
the Mississippi and its tributaries above
Xew Orleans from entrances and clear
ancesreferred. The impeachment trial
was resumed. Mr. IMair, for the re
spondent opened the argument on the
question of jurisdiction, quoting at
length from the IJlount case. He denied
the power of the Senate to try, on ar
ticles of impeachment, a nrivate citizen,
lie contended that soveral Tinted States
Judges hail resigned, and impeachment
proceedings against them stopjied.
Manager Lord replied to the argument
of Mr. lilair. He asserted that the Sen
ate had jurisdiction in the case, and in
support of his position cited numerous
legal authorities. "When Mr. Lord con
cluded, the Senate, sitting as a court,
adjourned. Legislative business was
resumed, ami the Senate soon adjourned.
The House went into committee of
" he whole on the postotlice appropria
tion bill. Ilcmarks were made bv Messrs.
Vance, of North Carolina, Holman and
others, and the committee rose. The bill

I'm pay. May :,. The House resolu
tion for adjourning to attend the Cen
tennial opening was adopted. The im
peachment trial was resumed. Mr. Car
penter began the argument for the
respondent, Belknap, on the question of
jurisdiction. He claimed that articles of
impeachment could not be entertained
against a private citi.en in any case
whatever, read from the debates of the
constitutional conention, and argued
that the men who framed the constitu
tion never had the slightest idea that
anvbodv but a public officer could be
impeached. He was followed by Mr.
Knott for the managers, who held that
the real question was whether they ex
creted the functions devolved on them
as the highest court known to our gov
ernment" bv irtue of constitutional
1 tower, or merely at the will and pleas
ure of the accused. There was nothing
in the constitution which limited the
power of the House of Uepresentatives
to prefer, or the Senate to try. articles of
impeachment to the time during which
the party accused shall lemaiu in office,
or at anv other time whatever. He said
that the'verv moment the impeachable
offence was 'committed the guilty party
become liable to impeachment, and there
w;is not a word in am of the provisions
of the constitution relieving him from
that liabiHtv upon the termination of
his office, whether by resignation or
otherwise. Senate sitting as a court of
impeachment, adjourned, and resumed
legislative business. After referring
several House bills to the appropriate
committees, the Senate went into execu
tive session, and soon after adjourned.

SATtiMAV. May 0. The considera
tion of the impeachment articles was
resumed. Senator Conkling submitted
the following questions to the managers:
1 if two persons guilty of crime in
office cease to be officers at the same
time, one bv removal, the other by re
signation, is one rather than the other
subject to impeachment afterward?
2 Is a private citizen liable to impeach
ment under the constitution of the
United Mates, and if his having previ

Anglo-Saxon Weddings
Not till the ninth or tenth century did
women ootain lue privilege oi cuoosinx
or refusing their husbands. Often they
were betrothed, t he bridesgroom's pledge
of marriage being accompanied by a
"security," or "wed," hence comes the
word. Part of the wed always consisted
of a ring, placed upon the maid's right
hand, and there religiously kept until
transferred to the other hand at the
later nuptials. Then, also, were repeated
the marriage vows and other ceremo
nies, out of which those now prevailing
have grown. The bride was taken "for
fairer, for fouler, for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer." and promised to
"buxom and bonny" to her future hus
band. At the final ceremony the bride
groom puts tne ring on eacn oi me
bride's left-hand lingers in turn, saying
at the first, "In the name of the Father,"
at the second. "In the name of the Son,"
at the third, "In the name of the Holy
Ghost," at the fourth, "Amen." Then
also the father gave to the new son one
of his daughter's shoes, in token of the
transferor authority which he effected,
and the bride was at once made to feel
the change by a tap or a blow on the
head, given with the shoe. The hus
band, on his part, took an oath to use
his wife well. If he failed to do so, she
might leave him, but by the law he was
allowed considerable license. He was
bound in honor "to bestow on his wife
and his apprentices moderate instiga
tion." We have nothing to show the
exact amount of castigation held mod
erate by the Anglo-Saxons; but one old
Welsh law decided that three blows with
a broomstick on "any part of the person,
except the head," is a fair allowance, and
another provides that the stick be no
longer than one husband's arm, nor
thicker than his middle linger. Prior
to the seventh century a wife might at
any lime be repudiated on proof of her
being either barren, deformed, silly,
passionate, luxurious, rude, habitually
drunk, gluttonous, very garrulous, quar
relsome or abusive.
Strength of Character.
Strength of character consists of two
things power of will and power of
self-restraint. It requires two things,
therefore, for its existence strong feel
ings and strong command over them.
Now it is here that we make a great
mistake; we mistake strong feelings for
strong character. A man who bears all
before him, before whose frown donies
ics tremble, and whose bursts of fury
make the children of the household
quake because he has his will obeyed,
and his own way in all things, we call
him a strong man. The truth is. that is
the weak man; it is his passions that
are strong; he that is mastered by them
is weak. You must measure the
strength of the man by the power of the
feelings he subdues, not by the power of
those which subdue him. And hence
composure is very often the highest
result of strength. Did we never see a
man receive a ilngrant insult, and only
grow a little pale, and then reply
quietly? That is a man spiritually
strong. Or did we never see a man in
anguish stand as if carved out of solid
rock, mastering himself? Or on bear
ing a hopeless daily trial remain silent,
and tell the world what cankered his
home peace? That is strength. He
who, with strong passions, remains
chaste; he who keenly sensitive, with
many powers of indignation in him, can
be provoked and yet restrain himself
and forgive-these are the strong men, the
spiritual heroes. Hec. F. W.Robertson.
All the ends of human felicity are
secured without revenge, for without it
we are permitted to restore ourselves,
and, therefore, it is against natural
reason to do an evil that no way co-operates
the proper and perfective end of
human nature; and he is a miserable
person whose good is the evil of his
neighbor; and he that revenges in many
cases does worse than he that did the
injury in all cases as bad. Jeremv
Taylor.

In the course of house-buildinr ex
cavations made in the vicinity of
two lake-dwellings between Anvurmier
and Colombian. Swit7crland. there was
opened to view a chamber whose con
tents proved to be a burial place of the
lake-dwellers. Within the chamber,
which was supported by upright stones,
there were found ten or fifteen human
skeletons, the skulls collected in one
corner, and the other remains in the
centre. With them there were entombed
a bear's tooth, a wolfs tooth, a small,
smooth bone dish, two hatchets of ser
pentine stone, a bronze needle, a small
copper ring, and four small bronze
bracelets. The discovery of this grave
which is supposed to be a family tomb
of a date between the Stone and Rronze
Ages is particularly interesting as af
fording needed light upon the question
of how the lake-dwellers disposed of
their dead.
Freezing Pl.at .VmIom.
The apparent phenomenon of plants
surviving after their juices have been
frozen has excited much research for an
explanation among botanists. The prob
lem has not yet been satisfactorily
solved, but some interesting testimony
in the case has been elicited through the
experiments of Mr. Tiffard, which are
published in an English exchange. Some
juice of a cabbage-leaf, mingled with
water, was placed in a bottle and sub
jected to a low temperature, along with
a second bottle containing pure water.
The latter fluid froze, but the mixture
of cabbage-juice and water resisted con
gelation. This result goes to show that
the juice3 of plants do not freeze in
temperatures whicli congeal water, their
chemical constituents giving them a
power to resist the ordinary effects of
cold. Where the frost does destroy veg
etable life, the process is in accordance
with the common law by which frozen
liquids expand and disrupt the surround
ing tissues, causing disintegration and
death.
Vegetable Ivory.
The demand for the ivory-nut luis so
increased in the German market that its
price has nearly doubled within a short
time. The nut is the fruit of one of the
most beautiful of all the palms. The
tree (Phytelephas Macroearjw) is a
native of South America, particularly
of the Andean plains of Peru, and of
the shores of the river Magdalena. The
stem of the tree is short, and lies pros
trate on the ground ; but from its crown
arises a tuft of light-green, pinnated
leaves, of magnificent size and beauty.
They are described as resembling im
mense ostrich-plumes, rising to the
stately height of ao or 40 feet. The
fruit, which is as large as a cocoanut,
consists of an aggregation of leathery
drupes, each containing four triangular
nuts, nearly as large as a hen's egg. The
kernels of these nuts, when ripe, so com
pletely simulate ivory in color and
consistency that they have been adapted
to many uses formerly monopolized by
the animal product Many articles man
ufactured from the ivory-nut so re
semble those made of true ivory as to
deceive the best judges.

Several papers, detailing explorations
in the mounds in and around New
Madrid, have been read at late meetings
of the Academy of Sciences at St Louis.
Prof. Conant who has recently made a
visit to a locality some miles from New
Madrid, and there examined several
mounds, related that in one instance, in
addition to the skulls of the true mound
builders which were found in the centre
of the structure, two crania were dis
covered on the edge of the mound which
belonged to a widely different race.
"The exceedingly-low, retreating fore
head indicated a much lower grade of
organism; yet the remains had been
buried after the mound-builder fashion
with a jug on each side of the head."
The Professor also gave an account of
an examination of a' burial-mound at
New Madrid, which was situated in a
space of about 50 acres, inclosed with
earthern walls. Something like 1,000
skeletons have already been exhumed
in this enclosure; and, in most cases,
thin pieces of pottery have been found
buried with each skeleton. Among the
articles of pottery recovered were ves
sels a foot in diameter, and with walls
so thin that they could not be safely
moved when filled with water. So great
a difference was observed in the preser
vation of the skeletons that Prof. Conant
was induced to believe the mound had
heenln usa for a Inntr nrind an a hnrial

A Koanihig Letter.
We have tieen shown a letter, ad
dressed from London to a lady at Sutter
Creek, whicli has taken twenty-three
years to reach its destination. The let
ter concerns the disposal of about f 15,
000 worth of property in England, and
hence the authorities have put them
selves to more than ordinary trouble to
see that it fell into the hands of the
party to whom it was addressed. It
bears the date of April, 18W, and has
circumnavigated the globe twice. It
has sought its owner in Sydney, Austra
lia, on two different occasions, and fail
ing in its mission to the Southern Cross,
it fell into the London dead-letter office,
where it remained for five years. At
last it was forwarded to Sutter Creek,
and was perused by the rightful party
nearly a quarter of a century after it
was penned. In the protracted interval
that elapsed between its penning and
delivery, the estate to which it related
was wasted by costly litigation, and is
now scarcely worth the trouble of going

of skill of all nations
will afford to you unalloyed pleasure, as
well :is icld to von a ."a!-uible practi
cal knowledge of so many of the re
markable results of the wonderful skill
existing in enlightened communities.
One hundred years ago our country
w:is new, and but partially sett led. Our
necessities have compelled us to ehielly
exiend our means and time in felling
forests, sul Killing prairies, building dwel
lings, factories, shijis, docks, ware
houses, roads, canals, machinery, etc.,
etc. Most of our schools, churches,
libraries, and asylums have leen estal
lished within a hundred years.
Burthened by these" great primal
works of necessity, which could not be
delayed, we vet have done what this ex
hibition will show in the direction of
rivaling other and more advanced na
tions in law, medicine and theologv, in
science, literature, philosophy and the
line arts. Whilst proud of what we have
done, we regret that we have not done
more. Our achievements have been
great enough, however, to make it easy
for our people to acknowledge su'ierior
merit wherever found.
And now, fellow-citizens. I hoj a
careful examination of what is to be
exhibited, will not onlv inspire you with
a profound respect -for the skill and
taste of our friends from other nations,
but also satisfy you with the attain
ments made by our own people during
the past one hundred years.
I invoke your generous co-operation
with the worthy Commissioners to secure
a brilliant success to this International
Exhibition, and to make the stay of our
foreign visitors, to whom we extend a
hearty welcome, both profitable and
pleasant to thern.
I declare the International Exhibition
now ojen.
At the conclusion of the President's
speech the flag on the main building
was raised, salutes were fired, bells rung.
the "Hallelujah Chorus" was sung, and
chimes commenced ringing various
national airs. A procession then moved
through the various buildings, amid the j
ringing of bells, liooming of cannon
and the music of bands in all direc
tions. At night the city was illuminated
on a grand scale, the old Suite House
building being then the great center of
attraction. Calcium lights were thrown
upon the historical building, and every
thing was as brilliant a in the day time.
The illumination was continued until
midnight. -JW111,
