But tell me, general, who was that very pretty woman you kissed after'the reception the other night?” ‘The war horse pondered a moment, and ex- claimed, “Oh! I remember, but blessed if 1 know who she was.” “Did you know she was a married woman?” asked Schenck. $ “No, indeed,” said the general laughing, “and I hayen’t seen her since. You see they all stood up ‘there in line and I just waded in, but I remember the one you mean.” ‘The two Old friends tried to figure out the pedi- gree of the kissed woman, but the one only Knew that she was married, and the other that she was kissable. Finally, Gen. Schenck said, ‘Well, any- how Sherman, I admire your taste.” “Yes;” remarked Gen. Sherman with a twinkle in his eye, “she was fine, certainly. Did you notice low well she stood upon her fetiock joints? She was a fine woman.” ‘The two old iriends agreeing well upon the point, shook ‘hands and separated, “Judging trom the above the storles about Gen. Sherman’s 1g Pro- clivities are not entirely imaginary. District Government Affairs.

Mr. Townshend said that the proposition made would obtainan extended foreign market for the products of the country much more effectually than could be done by reciprocity treattes. ‘The chair sustained the point of order, and the amendment was not received.
