I sat in the Senate gallery the | other day ant listened, tor quitean heu:, to the petitions of numerous | well meaning citizen in numerous States, asking for prohibition in the District of Columbia. uot be surprised to bear some day, that the lost Tribes of Israel have } united in a petition requesting or demanding cougre sional interfer- nei the same direction. The petition factories of the great north, vast and west seem to be doing a P Osperous business. The manag- ersof them however will not accom- plish anything in their zeal to reform the wicked people of the District of Columbia. As neither the Republican or the Democratic party will have anything to do with the sentimental cranks who are bawling for probibition without knowing the reason why, Prohibi- tion doesn’t prohibit the intemper- ance of this cranky crazy movement is the worst feature about it. - Weil the white newspaper editors and corre- pondents have lied then) selves as hoarse as Perry Carson found himself alter the convention, about what did, or did not take place at Willard Hall. Two of the most skilful liars who have yet dis- tinguished themselves, are the fel lows who furnished the Boston Goze and Chicago Heratp witb elaborate reports of the sayings and doings of our local statesmen, their rep.tts are each one part truth and | vine parts lie. These brilliant quill drivers should each be presented with leather medals for their pro- ficiency as strugglers with the truth. Fred D son is nen committal as | to his preference at Chicago.

Bruce. mpkins, canse the cheif feature of these gatherings consists in old time games, such as “I am in the ring,” | *Pound-hunting, the thimble,” ete. Ata very recent gathering of this sort, I was made the victim of a designing maiden with the mumps aud a wart on her nose, who got chucked in the well and who per. sisted in having me to take her out. Tam not fond of gum sucking, but on this occasion I was compelled to waive my objections and sail in. The maiden saluted me with a bang in the mouth that sounded like a distant clap of thunder, which re sulted in leaving me in the same well. I selected for my deliverer a young damsel considerably darker than magujfied midnight, whom I discovered had made a study of the oscillatory art by the way she sa- luted me. It was a thing of beauty and of joy forever; she pressed her speaking trumpet against my lips with a degree of earnestness simply astonishing and [ heard her heart beat while she was in the act of relieving me from a watery grave, metiphorically speaking. Then Mr. Jobhnsing, a broad shouldered, slab-sided gentleman with a cone sbaped head and a voice like Ba- | shans bull, or Perry Carsoun’s, after | prevented men from catching cold, found himself the sole occupant of the well and he changed the game for one vith less water im it called = “pounds’? There is considerable animation and life jabout the game ot “pounds”. Each player is numbered from 1 to 10 or more; if a player is caught “napping,” he is required to pay a sion of all articles forfeited ; when all have paid their forfeit the lead- his assistant takes charge of the goods which can only be redeemed in the manner prescribed by the leader. Tue following is the meth- | od: ‘‘Heavy heavy hangs over your | head,” sings the assistant, holding | up a bandkerehiet or any other article ; “fine or super fine” asks the leader, “super fine” answers the assistant, or ‘‘fine” whichever suits fancy—the lady or geneleman own- ing the handkerchief or kmife can redeem it by saying five words of courtship and teu words of matri mony, and kissing Mr. or Miss ten or a dozeu times: The lady or gentleman advances to the ceutre of the room, smniles, looks all around them and then picks out some poor devil of a man or angelic woman to aid them in redeeming their effects from the pound. The gum sacking is enjoyed with a relish, and a fellow imagines that it isthe fourth of July trom the noise made by the osuc'atory exer- cises. This is called fan by the participants and is highly enjoyed by them. I fail to see where the fun comesin however. It is not exacily my idea of fun. This indiscriminate kissing of people with stagnant breaths end repulsive countenances at social gathering is becomlng to be a great nuisance and it canuot be abolished too soon. Tuere are hundreds of other ways to enjoy one’s self with- | out resort to these old time gamer. | Tuis kissing business is dangerous to health; a lady may haye the gout in the month, or corns or some other contagious affection,—she selects some poor devil of a man to kiss her and the result is that he dies. Shute off this mortal therefrom. {say gum sucking be- coil puts on immortality and a wooden overcoat. There is death in ‘the kiss honies ; don’t kiss. Senator Sawyer tells me that the educational bill will pass, —good, that if he had been chairman of the last National Republican Commit- tee, Blaine would have been Presi- dent. (good he wasn’t) That he thinks Sherman hasa reasonable and hopeful chance of winning and that ne will work for him, if he is nominated that he will be 72 years of age next September and is get- ting tired of polities and that he might bave been chairman of the National Committee if he had want- ed it; but itis too much bother and annoyance to a man of his age. Lamar’s confirmation will not affect the Republican party, it would have, if he had been nomi- nated by a republican president. The Democratic party will be re- sponsible for any capers Lamar cuts, and not the Republican party. He thinks Lamar will disappoint his enemies and make a pretty decent judge, that he realizes that he is being closely watched and will therefore be careful to do noth- ing torouse the ire of those who opposed his confirmation. H Sherman is a good man and in his judgement would make a first rate President. The nomination of Blaine would be suicidal to the party unless it came to him unani- mously, which will hardly be lixe- ly,” uncle Philetus bas-a long head, *-lemme” tell you. — THEY SAY THAT Douglass ’round him Drew his cloak folded his Arms and thus he spoke :— “Gentlemen this is disgracefal This is treachery.” The last remark was caused by Carson’s tailure to deliver the goods as he promised if he found he couldn’t get thar himself. Carsons promises are like pie crust, they not only break but go into thin air. The latter was in bad form and gave the whole scheme away. Silence is golden speech is sil- | vern and cold type are—buh! more treacherous words they stay so long. It isn’t such an easy matter tor the kid gloved element to corrol| the voters as they imagine. | After all the people rule, it may | be boisterously tis true but they | rule. Schemes on paper dont always | come just so, they sometimes mis- carry. The people like leaders who are| not above them. | Yeu cannot deceive a’ body of | illiterate men with oily plausible | talk. They want to see your “Wuks.” | Not a few political architects and | builders got tossed and fell with a heavy sickening thad from their own structures While the conven tion kept on sawing wood. Fhe editor of the Advocate is | mortified he has been dead long enough to petrify. | | The prophets are working their | jaws with religious desperation. The vile and venal George 0. | Jones and his Euglish American | dish rag the Times of New York, | bave neither of them any more show in the Republiean party than | a bob tailed bull in fly tims, and | that its criticism of the late eonven- tion gives strength to the cause, The story of the fox and grapes | is applicable to some disappointed | politicians. Davis’ signature is not necessi-| ry to the credentials of the regu—| lar delegates. | Had Mr, Douglass been elected | there would not have been oceasion | for an indignation meeting, al-| tho: gh he would have been elected by a“mob” where the ‘respecta- ble colored people” absent ?—| Grapes. Milton M. Hollanu is as honest as the sun. than .spoken Gleason, Hayden and Carson were at the Capital Tuesday seek- ing advice. Nominate Sherman and win. Nominate Sherman as he is the stron est man in the republican party. The admission of any delega tion at Chicago from this city, other than the Shellabarger, means that the republicans idea of a fair count and free ballot in the south 1s alla blind. A member of the national repub- lican committee cannot himself be | @ party to corruption. Hayden is a bad jocky he fail- ed to ride two horses at the same time going in opposite directions. Major W. C. Cox could not be bribed. Carson’s and Gleasons Creden- tials are signed by the delegates that were thrown out of the regu- lar convention. Who gave Davis authority to sign bogus credentials. Davis of course belongs to Blaine, but Blaine will get left on this deal. The Negro is opposed to Blaine, because Blaine is opposed to bim. The south will never forget the defeat of the Force Bill, Public Printer Benedict honest man. Carson went to Judge Shellabar- ger and informed him that he was not elected. The Judge informed him that Chicago was the place to settle it. Perry has cheek and great gall, Perry should call ou Mr. Dyson and give him the same racket. Geo. Boston should take a back seat.

Baroum, in an address to business men at Bridgeport, Conn., said: “You do not, any of you, advertise enough. You ought to use printer’s ink every day. You are asleep and want your business te run itself. Stand- ing advertisements in a paper com- mand confidence. The man who for a year lives in one community and leads a reputable life, even though he be of moderate ability, will grow in coufidence and esteem of his fellows. On the same prin- ciple a newspaper advertisement becomes familiar in the eyes of the reader. It may be seldom read, still it makes the name and business of the man familiar and its presence in the columns of a paper inspires confidence in the stability of bis enterprise.” =o VICK’S FLORAL GUIDE.
