Under the constitution it requires a
joint resolution of both houses to adjourn
the legislature. As there is no house re
cognized by the senate, the question
arises, "how will it adjourn?" As long
as it is not getting paid the country will
not bother itself about it, in fact, will be
highly pleased if it continues tokeep Joe
and Jonathan at Salem. One would
think they would get tired of staying so
near the pen.

A recent traveler in London states
that in the douse of Fagin, of Dickens
fame, the kitchen yet remains precisely
as used by the celebrated Jew, The
rocm in which he taught "Oliver Twist"
and his friendsto piny the "little game"
in which the "Merry old Gentleman" so
delighted, has been somewhat altered by
more recent occupants. One great
charm of Dickens' books lies in tbe fact
that most of the houses in which the
scenes he so vividly portrays were enact
ed, are still standing, many of them just
as they were originally built, and can be
readily found by the tourist along Fleet
street.
Tbe President's Daily ltwutlne.
Ex-President Harriscn has written of
"A Day With the President at His
Desk" for tbe March Ladies Home Jour
nal. The article is said to be singularly
interesting in tbe detail with which it
describes the wearisome routine of the
president. It is said that General liar
rieon, in this article, has delivered him
self with great directnees and vigor, rel
ative to tbe annoyances that are visited
upon a chief executive by persistent
office-seekers, and he suggests a unique
plan by which the president's burdens
in that directions could be greatly light
ened, and he be enabled to devote more
attention to more important matters.
A feature of the article that will have a
timely interest to those ambitious to
serve the country under the incoming
administration, describes very fully how
the president makes appointments to
office. "A Day With the President at
His Desk" is unique in being the first
time that the daily life of the president
has been described by one who filled the
exalted office. Articles upon the social
and domestic life of the president by
General Harrison will follow in success
ive issues of the Journal.

"A most enjoyable entertainment was
given by the Harvard c)ub for which
Miss Eflio Elaine Hext whose powers
as an'tixpressionist are well known was
secured as the special attraction.
"The Chariot Race," "Tho First Quar

That entertainment at the M. E.
church tonight, will be a success. Par
rott has had his cake up at the electric
light plant for two days, and this morn
ing Mr. Biggs was in the back room of
the land office splitting biscuits with the
government ax, preparatory to introduc
ing the ham. The clam chowder is al
ready getting clammy, and everything
is arranged for the occasion. To the
young ladies we desire to state that if
they will eat u piece of cake and put an
other piece under their pillows to sleep j
on, they will see their future husband
about midnight, riding a green horee
with red eyes. The horse will have a
tail like an alligator and a mane made
out of fourteen yards of red calico. The
future husband can be recognized by his
plug hat, red flannel bloomers and pink
umbrella. If they eat two pieces, they
will see anything there is to he seen. A
pint of pepsin will prove a useful
antiseptic.
