REA a A a ‘ YOUTHFUL SENATORS. How the Pages Took Advantage of an Emty Senate Chamber. During the ceremony of unveiling the Marshall statue last Saturday af- ternoon, says the Washington corres- pondent of the Syracuse Standard, while the senators were absent the senate, the pages had a lark. The boys are sharp observers of the great men with whom they are thiown in daily contact, andsoon de- tect the peculiar hobby each senator has. As soon as the senators were fairly out of the room the boys pre— pared for sport. One long, lank, red-haired stripling, by unanimous consent. ‘‘ ’cause he’s got the most gall,’’ as one urchin said, took the seat of the presiding officer, and in M-. Edmunds’ most austere manner sharply called the meeting to order. The boys heartily entered into the humor of the occasion. They drop- ped into the seats near the presiding officer. ‘‘Mr. President.’’ yelled half a dozen voices. ‘*Now you tel- lows just shut yer clack,’’ returned the president. ‘Do yer think this a democratic caucus? Now what do you want?’’ he continued, address- ing one. “1 want to talk,’’ he promptly re- sponded. **Well, go ahead.”’ *‘Now, Mr. President,’ continued the youthful statesman, throwing himselt into Senator Dawes’ favor- tte attitude and imitating his peculiar intonation, ‘*what this country ought to do is to go tor them Injuns. Why, Mr. President, just look at ’em. Gaze upon the wild sons of the west who come here on their trips to. the Great;F ather—an ignorant lot, whose chief pleasure consists in tomahawk- ing the teachers we send out to in— struct them. What should be done! Why, make ‘em learn. Turn the army into a regiment ot teachers. , Force arithmetic into their thick skulls at the pomt of the bayo- grand net.”’ “Well, what does the member propose !’’ asked one ot the senators ot an hour impatiently, fearing that his chances to hold forth were being forth were being lessened by the prolixity of others. ‘Appropriate fitty millions for the Purpose of compulsorily educating the reaskins,”’ replied the supposed Mr. Dawes. ‘That will solve the Anjun question.’’ The proposition was received with boistous applause. “Say; Mr. President,” shouted one who could be easily recognized as Senator Logan’s counterfeit pre- sentment by his proposition. ‘I motion to appropriate five hundred imullions to pay the expenses of a commission to mvestigate the true condition of the American nigger and ascertain thé progress he has made since the war.”’ ‘I hope the gentlemani will notin- sist on the motion,” remarked a po- lite page blandly, “because I was going to appoint a committee con- sisting of true and faithful republi- cans to investigate the Danville out- rages.”” -‘Hello, Sherman!” cried One who from his lack of respect was undoubtedly a democrat. “Talso hope the gentleman will not insist on his motion. tor it#is cleary unconstitutional,’* Piped a voice in the rear of the chamber. The lads broke into a loud laugh. recognizing Senator Jones’ carica- ture, and immediately got into an excited constitutional discussion, ““Legan’’ holding that his scheme was clearly constitutional, remarking that he “shad looked up them points and he seen they wasn’t no good.”’ But others, seeing there was little chance of ‘getting their work in’’ unless order was restored, insisted on the sentor’s “drying up.’” Then followed a number of ndiculous mo- tlens-—to put cigarettes on the free list, to tax Pig-iron $loo a ton, to declare women eligible to the presi- dency. The boys kept up their sport until it was announced the sen- ators were returning, when “they scattered.

Life in a Monastery From the St. James Gazette. The Irish vice-chancellor issumed to-day in Dublin, the hearing of a remarkable case, in which some in- teresting disclosures were made as to life ina monastery. The plaintiff, Tames Magrath, formerly a lay broth- in the monastery at Mount Melleray, near cappoquin, proceeds against his brother, John to set aside a deed ef June 5th 1879, which, he alleges, was obtained by fraud and undue The plaintiff, by the deed, was means. assigned his property, which considerable, to his brother, and then entered the monastery and remained The rules of the Feeding Corn in Summer.
