OUIt 'POSSUM HUNT.
B. G. MIL.DHED IN nOME AND FAKM.
Supper was just over, and the bevy
of gay pirls had adjourned to the bal
cony, laurhing and chatting, as a
crowd wf girls will do under event'
most tryinjr circumstances; but to-nif t
was as lovely as a dream, with a big
full moon Hooding the world in a glory
of mellow radiance, and the south wind
was sweet with the fragrance of au
tumn. "What a jewel of a night!" exclaim
ed the restless Kate. "How I wish we
had something to do something out of
the common run, you know, girls; in
fact, something just a trifle awful
for," she continued musingly, "Eve
played 'Miss Harrison1 till I'm a per
fect lightning rod, and goodness!
what's troubling the hounds to-night?
Will you listen to that yell?"
"They're thinking of a hunt," ex
plained lone "Whenever they group
themselves together and howl and
whine so, it's a certain indication; not
one of them but knows it's an elegant
night"
"Olt!" screamed Kate, it's an idea
after ni- own heart; I'll thank you all
to deatli if j-ou'll go 'possum hunting
with me. Oh, do do say yes!" plead
ed the extravagant girl in her winsome
Irish way.
"Glorious! glorious!' cried Mamie
and Belle. "Oh, lone can't we?"
"Why, I guess so, you fooli-h chil
dren," smiled that youngs lady in her
dark grand way." "However, I'm not
sure. I'll go and see Tom-Bob about
the horses."
"That's a darling lone!" railed Kate.
"Go and see Tom-Bob, and get him in a
good humor before you ask him; if you
on't he will swear every mother's colt
of 'cm are in the" creek pasture,and they
might as well be in Halifax. Promise
that oracle anything, give him anything,
lone give him 'tally,'" continued the
wild girl, laugh'ng softly.
"Kate!" reprovingly, from the gentle
Mamie, "your propensity for slang "
"Oh, hang my propensity! I tell you,
Mamie, this 'possuni hunt is of more
dreadful importance to me right now
than even book of etiquette on the
American continent."
"I believe you," sighed the little sis
ter. "But girls, 3 ou do wrong to laugh
at Kate so much; she is getting dread
ful." But no one could help laughing at the
redoubtable Kate, and we all laughed
anew as she replied solemnly, "Don't
you get sarcastic, Mamie; please to re
member I was born dieadful."
"And pray, what does Tom-Bob say?"
I asked, discerning lone in the shadow
of the doorway.
"Well," she answered. ("Thank
goodness," from Kate,) "he says there
is not a horse in the stable, except
Dixie."
"Spirit of truth!" cried Kate, grasp
ing her shoulders. "You did not talk
to iiim right. "What did you say to the
little rascal? What did you promise
him? Wlnjre is he? Bet you fifty dol
lars I can get him!"
"But really, Kate." said one, holding
her. back, "he is perfectry correct; Ire
member now, the horses were carried to
the plantation this morning. The
mules "
"Ah! bless the mules! the darlings!
they'll do just as well. They' re the
pride of my existence, and no one wag-
ever afraid to ride a good gentle family.
mule, you Know, looking meaningly at
the timid Mamie, who was already sigh
ing for the pretty brown pony. And,
besidesj if any oue is ashamed, it's night
and moonlight, like charity, covers a
multitude of sins. The mules will look
as fine as horses. What about saddles,
lone?"
"Only two," said lone. "So there it
is again."
"Well, I'm sure I don't care for one
stall, if you'll let me have your Mexi
can bridle, lone. Give Mamie and Belle
the saddles, and we three will go unin
cumbered, and you go and inform the
oracle that we want four mules.and Dix
ie for yourself, as no one else wishes to
contend with that imp of Satan. Tell
Tom-Bob we'll take 'em half-and-half
that is, half saddled, half otherwise.
Now girls, lets get our wrap on, and hie
aay to the stables."
We wero soon there, congregated
amid the barking of hounds and snort
ing of mules in all stages of decoration.
Ione's splendid black horse stood aside,
pawing viciously; and, as Tom-Bob, in
a general grin of delight, led forward
"Old Rock," all gaily decked in the fan
ciful toggery of the Mexican bridle, I
could not repress a smile, myself. Ma
mie has an idea that everything in the
animal order is wild, until it has been
proven to her ladyship that it is too old
to move. So she begged Kate to be very
careful about mounting that big mule;
he looked so awful large and strong, she
just knew he would take the bit right
between his teeth and run like liht
rung. ''Tor shame, Mamie! ' indignantly re
plied Kate. "Thi mule hasn't had a
tooth in his head in ten years. He's fif
ty years if he's a day."
"I don't care; 1 wouldn't risk his
gums," insisted Mamie.
"I know it," assented the elder sister;
"but you waltz on with your ancient
rat Til paddle my own mule!" And
she did.
We all got started finally, lone grace
fully sitting her fiery bareback steed.
Belle and 1 each clinging to the respec
tive backbones of two seemingly very
kindly disposed mules, while Mamie
was securely fixed upon a diminutive
animal that Kate said strong circum
stantial evidence pointed to as belong
ing to the race of males fashioned in the
days of Abraham; and Tom-Bob ran on
ahead with the hounds, all frantic in
their supreme delight. .
"Tom-Bob, the oracle," rried Kate,
"if you please, where hideth the poor
'possum you seek this night to disturb?"
"Right down here, ftfis Kate, in de
hollpw dis swamp where de spring
branch is, you know, and de big pop
lar." "Yes, to be sure," answered she, with
afgrimace. "I only hope this antiqua
ted hat rack hello! Bob-Tom, pull
down the bars, you monkey!"
"'Scuse me, Miss Kate, I thought for
sho' "
"Yes, you thought I was on a horse;
but I'll have Tou to know this .mule is
past the jumping age."
"Yes'm, but I thought as how you
would make him."
"Oli! go to Guinea. Bob-Tom."
"Yes'm," agreed that accommodat
ing individual.
Down the hill we plunged through
the rank grass, wet with the falling
dew, and the rapid footfalls of the eager
hounds, as they sniffed the damp night
air, was pleasing in the extreme; and
we began to be just a little excited. As
we neared the "big poplar," Bob-Tom
warned us to "look jut Ring would
have him up d'rectly," for which Kate
gravely thanked him. Sure enough, the
next moment almost, there was a stifled
cry from the dog, then another and an
other, till every dog joined in, and made
the night musical. The oracle yelled
till I feared he would injure himself;
then, to Mamie's horror, Kate took up
the refrain and encouraged the running
pack vigor msry. Mamie expostulated,
but Lady Kate informed her that she
'would holler as much as she pleased,
and she'didn't care a racket what any
said so there!" And urging forward
her reluctant steed, she joined in the
chase.
About this time a startled scream
from Belle reached me, and I reigned in
my Belcephalus to discover what had
hurt her, and to my dismay discovered
her all in a demoralized heap in.the tall
grass. "Here I am, if jou can't find
me. I lost my grip on Sambo's back
bone, and I think my neck is broken
if it is not, my back certainly is; and
my heart ditto, for how am I ever to re
mount that disconsolate animal?" That
was the question, I was prone to admit;
but finally she found a stump, and after
much coaxing, persuaded him near
enough to mount him, and we took a
short cut over the hill to join the others.-
The hounds had lost the track and
were hunting rapidly and almost quietly
when we reached them, and Kate was
forlorn, but -Tom-Bob sissured her they
would find him presently. After ashort
while, a prolonged whine from 'Ring
brought even dog to the spot, and Tom
Bob delightedly informed us he (mean
ing the unfortunate 'possum) was
"treed," and forthwith proceeded to
the honored locality.
"Dat 'possum," lomarked the irre
pressible small boy, "must be a natural
fool to go up a tree; mout know I sar
tain togit'im. Dar'tis now," musingly;
"if he aint picked out a tarnil dark
place, which, bressdcLord! is de very
ting he has gone and done. Down
Ring! off Mac! Now, Miss Kate, what
is I to do?"
"What's up?" queried she in response,
not having heard his soliloquy.
"Why, den, de 'possum is up one of
dese trees, an' it am so confounded dark
I can't tell one from which. I wants a
light to shine dat 'possum's eyes."
"All right," said she, uncovering her
silken red head, and ridinsr under the
trees. "Now watch out for him, Bob
Tom." ' 'My eje, Miss Kate, but 3011 am a
good "un," grinned that ball of dark
ness, is he swung himself with cat-like
agility into the tree; "Des j'ou hold on,
Miss Kate, an' I'll have dat 'possutn or
bust, now in half a minute."
"All right; but let me know, before
you drop him to terra fr?:a," com
manded Kate.
A moment more and a sound of con
fused scuffling reached us from the
tree.
"Have you gothim, Tom-Bob?" called
Kate, eagerly.
"You bet I have; right by the tail!
Look out. Miss Kate; here he conies to
tumbly-fiimbly. O Lord!" And down
came the little grizzled scamp, and
Tom-Bob after him, all in a crash and
such a confusion! Such a yelling from
the boy, and such a yelping from the
hounds, and such a racket generally, I
never encountered. Kate was fairly
wild with excitement
"Oh, Tom," she screamed, "take
him away; tlipy"!! tear him all to gibht!
Just look at Mac and Charlie; they are
swallowing him whole! R.r goodness
sake, bring him here!"
"'Possum tough as whit leather.
Dese dogs is b:rely tetched him," said
Tom, as he rescued the little muddy
thing of fur, and stretched him out at
full length and viewed him meditatively.
"Why, the poor little rabbit is dead,
poor thing! It's no 'possum at all
only a dear little rabbit," exclaimed
Mamie, just becoming fully alive to the
situation. "Oh! its entirely, perfectly
dead! Ain't it awful, girls?"
"It's enough to bring tears to the
eyes of a tar baby," assented Miss
Kate, gravely. "But think of it, Ma
mie, 'a dear little rabbit' indeed! You
're a dear little simpleton a consum
mate goose, I must say. Pray, who
has ever seen a rabbit with such a
tail?"
"Oh, yes!" murmured the subdued
"infant,' as Kate called her. 'To be
sure. I had not considered that."
"I guess not," emphatically, from
the terrible Kate.
"Well, and whatae Mac and Charlie
after now?" asked lone, as a fresh
chorus came up from the ditch beyond.
"After something else, I 'spose, Miss
'Ona. Maybe another 'possum. Leni
megosee," responded Bob-Tom; and
trotted off, while Kate volunteered to
keep guard over the deceased "var
mint." The dogs were rather quiet, except
for an occasional cry from the vivacious
Mac. We were all getting a little tired
and sleepy; sitting perfectly still and
quiet, when a stifled scream from Kate
aroused us with a vengeance. "Truth
crushed to earth will rise again! Ye
godb! look at that 'possum!" and to
our utter dismay and perfect astonish
ment, the bead-eyed little wretch gath
ered himself together and made off with
startling alacrity. We yelled and
screamed for the dogs and Tom-Bob;
we did everything possible in the way
of noise and girls; but in spite of it all,
that ridiculous 'possum waddled through
a clump of bushes and was lost to our
sight forever.
Bob-Tom and the hounds finally ap
peared on the scene, the former perfect
lv disrated at our recent performance;
.ic "i nought anybody knowed a 'possum
b'tter"n that; anybody what had any
fotchin up at all, sho'ly knowed a 'pos
sriu was a mighty 'ceivin critter and
'ud bear watclnn' all de time."
"Yes, Bob-Tom," answered the con
trite Kate; "but Tve never had any
'fotchin up,' more's the pity, and I real
ly thought he was stone dead and cold.
But ''twas ever thus from childhood's
hour.' Let's go home; it must be near
ly day, and it's certainly no use to look
for tnat 'possum now, as by this time
he is certainly going through the next
county.
"It's no more dan 10 o'clock, but I
'grees wid you 'bout not huntin' for dat
'possum no more. Don't 'zerve to hab
'ina, dat's a fact," in a lower tone.
Suiting action to word, he called Mac
and Charlie and started home, the other
dogs following their leaders; and we five
disconsolate girls faced about, and paced
slowly after a weary, a wiser, if not a
better party.
The Death or Calhoun.
February Atlantic
An unpublished letter from Mr. R.
M. T. Hunter, a Virginia senator, gives
some interesting facts concerning Mr.
Calhoun's last moments, and the views
at that time of the southern magnates.
"Mr. Calhoun's death," wrote Mr.
Hunter, "was eminently simple, calm,
and unaffected no display or preten
sion, nothing for stage effect He knew
that his mortal sickness was upon him,
but he did not expect to die so soon.
The evening before his death he had his
mail read to him, commented upon
some of the letters, and directed his
son to clear up his table, as was his
wont every night In the night, when
he found lie was dying, he directed his
son to pack up his papers and watch,
and to give his pencil to his son Andrew.
When speech left him he still showed
consciousness by signs; and, beckoning
to his son, squeezed his hand and ex
pired, without pain and without fear.
He had always said to me previously
and to others through his sickness that
he had no apprehensions of deatli; that
it was an event in relation to which he
felt that he had no right to entertain a
wish. He was a man of few quota
tions, but one which he often used to
me was that there was 'the same Provi
dence on the fatal as the natal hour.'
He was not consulted as to his birth,
nor did he believe that his wishes ought
to weigh or even exist as to his death:
such I supnose to have been his mean
ing. He had a greater faith in his ab
stractions, one and all, than any other
man I ever saw, and this was his ab
straction (as I think) about death."
"But," Mr. Hunter went On to say,
"you must not whisper it to any one:
I believe that he died under the firm
impression that the south was 'betrayed'
and gone. Indeed, he told me it was
'betrayed' the last time I ever saw him.
Do not mention this, however. One of
the last things he ever said to Judge
Butler was, 'Don't despond, judge; nev
er despond!' And if we mean to fight
the battle we must not despond; or, if
we do, we must not let the people see
it until all is manifestly useless. Clay's
course and Foote's eternal talk about
compromise have done more to let down
the tone of southern feeling than every
thing else put together. Had Clay not
taken the course lie did, and had Foote
and every other southern man forborne
to press compromises on those who
talked of nothing of the sort themselves,
we might have gotten. I think, a fair
compromise: say, the line of 36.30
through to the Pacific, with a recogni
tion of slavery south of that line. Such,
at least, is my opinion. Buchanan
would have been willing to agree to
this, I believe, and I think I
know others in the north who would
have agreed to the same. The north
would not have severed the Union
sooner than to submit to such a propo
sition." Mr. Calhoun's death elicited glowing
eulogies in both houses of congress, but
the most impressive was that of Henry
Claj. Evidently standing on the brink
of his own grave, he went on to say,
"I was his senior, Mr. President, in
years in nothing else. According to
the course of nature, I ought to have
preceded him. It has been decreed
otherwise; but I know that I shall linger
hen only a short time, and shall sono
follow him."
President Taylor.
February Atlant c.
General Taylor was elected president
as an "available" candidate. The
whigs, in nominating him rather than
Webster or Clay, surrendered their
good repute of fidelity, threw off all
pretense of principle, and supported
the htro of Buena Vista "as the only
means" so said Mr. Winthrop "of
averting the present policy of the coun
try." His defeated competitors for the
nomination were naturally much cha
grined, for their ambition had not been
weakened by age, or disheartened by
defeit, while their credulity had only
been increased with their years. Mr.
Clay had confidently expected to be
nominated until the result came upon
him like a clap of thunder in a clear
sky; and he not only denounced the
action of the convention, butwassevere
in his criticisms upon his former lieu
tenant, John J. Crittendon, for what he
had done to bring it about Mr. Web
ster was equally forcible in his denun
ciation of treacherous friends at the
convention, and, while his pecuniary
necessities forced him to accept a con
siderable sum of money from the whig
state committee of Massachusetts, in
payment for one of his oracular speech
es advocating the election of Talor, he
did not hesitate to say that there was
"no man more firmly of opinion that
such a nomination was not fit to be
made."
General Taylor was, of all the men
who have filled the presidential chair
by the choice of the people, the one
least competent to perform its duties.
He had been placed before his country
men as a candidate in spite of his re
peated avowals of incapacity, inex
perience, and repugnance to all civil
duties. Although sixty-four years of
age, he had never exercised the right
of suffrage, and he was well aware that
he was elected because of his military
prowess. But no sooner did he learn
that he had. been choseu than he dis
played, the same invincible courage,
practical sense, and indomitaole energy
of purpose in the discharge of his new
and arduous civil duties which had
characterized his military career.
The personal appearance of Gen.
Taylor, as he read his inaugural ad
dress from a platform erected in front
of the eastern portico of the capitol,
was not imposing. His figure was
somewhat portly, and his legs were
short; his thin, gray hair was unbrush
ed; his whiskers were of the military
cut then prescribed; his features were
weather-bronzed and care-furrowed;
and he read almost inaudibly. It was
evident, however, that he was a popu
lar favorite, and when he had concluded,
the vociferous cheering of the assem
bled thousands was echoed by the firing
of cannon and the music of the bands.
The inaugural message showed that
General Taylor regarded the union as
in danger, and that he intended to use
every possible exertion for its preserva
tion. Mr. Calhoun had requested,
through Mr. Clayton, that nothing
should be said in the inaugural on this
subject, which had prompted the addi
tion of a paragraph, in which the in
coming president declared that a disso
lution of the union would be the great
est of calamities, and went on to say,
"Whatever dangers may threaten it, I
shall stand by it, and maintain it in its
integrity, to the full extent of the obli
gations imposed and the power con
ferred upon mc by the constitution."

Frank's Movements.
The battles of the Valley of Mexico
had been fought and the army once
more had a season of rest Recruits,
however, continued to arrive at Vera
Cruz, and Camp Washington, outside of
the city walls, was formed, under the
command of Major Pitcher, an amiable
gentleman and good officer. Mr. Laws
was the assistant adjutant general. Our
mess was composed of some wild spirits
from the south and west, aud many a
prank was played on the moonlight
nights beside the gulf. Among other
splendid fellows long gone to their rest
was Lieutenant Mac . We subal
terns were drilled every morning, but
poor Mac, who had a defective memory,
never could retain enough tactics in his
mind to enable him to give a proper com
mand when the occasion required it
He had a good first sergeant, however,
one whose long service had made him
familiar with the execution of every or
der, and Mac habitually depended on
him to be, prompted. Upon one occa
sion, as the companies were, marching
out to evening parade and were forming
"on the right by file into line," Mac
suddenly forgot the 'command, and to
his discomfiture his first sergeant was
on the sick report. Here was a dilem
ma, and there was but a moment or two
to spare. Glancing hastily at the lead
ing files he uttered the following singu
lar command, which caused a roar of
laughter from all who heard it: "Do as
the rest do, march!"
This was almost equal to a German
recruit's reply to the gallant Wynkoop,
of the Second Pennsjivania volunteers.
He was making the grand rounds at
midnight on the march to the City of
Mexico, when he came upon -the post of
weary Teuton who was anxiously count
ing the hours, waiting to be relieved.
"Who comes der?" shouted the sentinel
in stentorian tones, bringing his musket
to a charge. "The grand rounds," was
the reply. "Oh! the grant .rounts,"
was the quick and impatient rejoinder,
"I tort it was de rcleef."
In our mess we had a handsome boy,
about twenty years of age, who waited
on table, brushed clothes, etc. His
name was Frank, and his obliging dis
position and general intelligence made
him many friends. One day the men
were playing ball on the parade-ground,
and Lieutenant S , of Louisiana, was
watching the sport, when I observed
him suddenly give a singular start.
"Did you notice," he remarked hur
riedly, "how Frank attempted to catch
the ball?"
"No, I did not," I replied, "was there
anything peculiar about it?"
"Rather," he answered, thoughtfully.
"Something very peculiar very. A
man would have involuntarily raised his
hands, but Frank acted as women do
that is, he used the same motion a wo
man would use to catch a thing in her
dress or apron. What if he should turn
out to be a woman? Do you know I
have been thinking lately that his
smoot h face, rich color and the soft lan
guor of his ees are something strange
For a man to possess."
"Suspicious?" I replied. "I'd ven
ture none but yourself ever got such an
idea Besides he's quite young."
"The surgeon thinks pretty much as
I do," replied S , as he walked to
where Captain Campbell, of Georgia,
was standing.
A little later the surgeon and few oth
ers were in the mess tent and Frank
was ordered to appear and requested by
the surgeon to strip. He, or rather she,
became deadly pale, and pleaded to be
excused. Again the order was repeated,
when, finding it no longer possible to
conceal the truth, Frances confessed her
sex. Her husband was a soldier in the
command, and she was compelled to
assume her proper garb, and, in consid
eration of her excellent behavior, she
was consigned to the company of her
husband as a laundress, which enabled
her to draw rations. She pleaded hard
to he allowed to wear soldier's clothing
until we arrived at the end of our
march, but Major Bainbridge, who had
assumed command, was inexorable, and
Frank was compelled to dress as a wo
man. Progress in India.
Missionary Herald.
Mr. Winsor. writing from Siroor,
In-
dia, says:
"The interest we are having in one of
our villages surpasses all I have pre
viously witnessed. The gospel of Christ
is really taking hold of Mie people, and
man, I trust, will soon be numbered
among those who are renewed in heart
and fife. The work the teacher has
done in Ranjangar has been owned and
blest of God. The people have allowed
the teacher's little boy to carry off and
break up some of their idols. When
thej began to remonstrate, the teacher
said: 'If they are gods, aud my boy
carries them off, they will either take
care of themselves, or punish him for
his attempt to despoil them.' The peo
ple were content to wait the issue, and
the effect ou them was most wonderful.
They have completely lost all confidence
in their idols, and have ceased to bow
to the feet of their hitherto respected re
ligious teacher. 1 have baptized one of
tltese men, and his wife is to be baptized
soon."
"A darker day is before this people
than ever befell them during the long,
long famine. Three months have weary
eyes and hearts been look:ng and
hopiug for rain; three months and not
even a shower sufficient to make grass
grow. There is not a blade of green
grass to be seen, so to speak, not a sin
gle crop this season, so far, and another
famine more dreadful than the previous
one stares these people in the face. This
distress is more especially local. At
Satara and Sholapur it ma not be so;
but here it is worse than Before."
Three weeks later than the date of the
previous letter, Mr. Winsor writes:
"Thanks be unto God, the heavens
drop down fatness. When the last hope
was just falling into despair the waters
of heaven descended. Rain has fullen
in rich abundance; the whole face of na
ture, and man's too, has become a ra
diant smile. Your hearts will unite in
praising God for his mere to us.
"I went again to Ranjangar last Fri
day, and, beyond all my expectations, I
came away bringing their god with me.
Yes, two images of the god Ganpatti
and three images of their Nundi Biles.
Before these images these people have
bowed for generations, but now, in the
presence of each other, they put them
into my hands, and they are with me
now to be brought to America when we
come."
Taking Cold.
This vague "household word" indi
cates one or more of a long, varied train
of unpleasant affections, nearly always
traceable to one or the other of only two
causes; sudden change of temperature
and unequal distribution of temperature.
No extremes of heat or cold can alone
effect this result; persons frozen to death
do not "take cold" during the process.
But if a part of the body be rapidly
cooled, as by evaporation from a wet
article of clothing, or by sitting in a
draught of air, the rest of the body Re
maining at an ordinary temperature; or
if the temperature of the whole be sud
denly changed by going out into a warm
room, there is much liability of trouble.
There is an old saying "when the air
comes through a hole, say your prayers
to save your soul;" and I should think,
almost any one could get "a cold" with
a spoonful of water, or the wrist held to
a key hole. Singular as it may seem,
sudden warming, when cold, is more
dangerous than the reverse. Everyone
has noticed how soon the handkerchief
is required on entering a heated room
on a cold day. Frost bite is an extreme
illustration of this. As the Irishman
said, on picking himself up, it was not
the fall, but stepping so quickly that
hurt him. It is not the lowering of the
temperature to the freezing point, but
its subsequent elevation that devitalizes
the tissue. This is why rubbing with
snow, or bathing with cold waterTis re
quired to restore safely a frozen part;
the arrested circulation must be very
fradually restored, or inilamation, per
aps mortification, ensues. ' General
precautions against tnkinjr cold are al
most self-evident in the light There is
ordinarily little, if any, danger to be
apprehended from wet clothes so Ion
mg
as exercise is kept up, for the "glow
about compensates for the extra cooling
by evaporation. Nor is a complete
drenching more likely to be injurious
than wetting of one part But never
sit still wet, and in changing rub the
body dry. There is a general tendency,
springing from fatigue, indolence and
indifference, to neglect damp feet; that
is to say, to dry them by the fire; but
this process is tedious and uncertain. I
would say especially, off with muddy
boots and sodden socks at once dry
stockings and slippers, afterahunt,may
make just the difference of your being
able to go out again or never. Take
care never to check perspiration; during
this process the body may be in a some
what critical condition, aud a sudden
arrest of the function may result disas
trously even fatally. )ne part of the
business of perspiration is to equalize
bodily temperature, and it must not be
interfered with.
She had Business with Congress.
Wash! gton Post.
"Where's congress? I'm looking for
congress," said -a tall, one-ejed woman,
peering through .pne of the doors of the
house of representatives, the other
morning. "Is that fellow with a bald
head congress?
"What do you want with congress,
anyhow?" demanded a deputy door
keeper, gruffly. "Hold on, you can't
go in there?"
"I come from Bucks county, Pa., to
see congress, and if you've got it on
draught anywhere around here, I want
some. What's the reason I can't go in
there?"
"Cause you can't. Nobody allowed
here but memoers."
"That red-headed man with a squint
a member?"
"No; he's one of the member's secre
taries. He has a right on the floor."
"Is that lop-sided chap with a wig
one of the secretaries?"
"No; he's a friend of a member. Had
a pass."
"What's that bare-legged
boy
falling
over the back of a chair?
Has he
got
any friends?"
"He's one of the pages."
"Who's that red-nosed artist with a
sore-ear? Did he have a pass?"
"That's a messenger. He don't need
a pass."
"What's that fellow with his legs on
a desk? Is he one of the bosses?"
"He's one of the clerks."
"Any of them fellows pay any taxes?"
"I think not. Don't know," said the
doorkeeper indifferently.
"Now, young feller, you want to hunt
for room to stand in while I bust through
this door. Don't fool with me, or your
friends will think 3-011' ve been doing
business with a steam grindstone. I pay
taxes on three acres and eight pigs up
in Bucks county, and I'mgoingthrough
this 'ere congress like a contribution
box through a congregation. You just
crawl out of sight, if you don't want
3our spine to change places with the
next township. Where's the congress
from Bucks county? Show me the
Bucks county congress, and if he don't
get a bill through this town to send that
hare-lipped old sky-rocket, who wants
to foreclose a mortgage on my place, to
the penitentiary, he'll wish he'd been
born a tree and cut down and burned
up when he was young. Point out the
congress f 1 om Bucks county before I
have you inside out, to see how you're
put together. Tell me I can't go in
among a lot of clerks, and passes, and
pages! If there's a square foot of con
gress left by the time I reach it, it'll
wish it was covered with hair that
conies out without hurting."
They induced her to leave by telling
her that the member "from Bucks
county" held its session in the patent
office, and she departed, threatening to
get the bill disposing of her mortgage
through before she left town, or make
the Bucks county member think a
"cider barrel had busted under him just
as a shot-tower fell on top of him,"
The authorities of the postoffice in

"I have no patience with a man who
can't remember a thing longer than it's
being told him," exclaimed Jones, im
patiently. "Now, I can carry a thing
in my mind a month, if need be.
"You're a lucky dog, Jones," remarked
Pendegrast, quickly; "is isn't everybody
has so much room in his mind, you
know."
The great sorrows of life are either a

"What do you know about St. Ja
cobs Oil?" said one of our oldest sub
scribers. This sos a fair question and
we answer, that we are reliably inform
ed that a gentleman of this city who
has suffered untold agony, and spent a
mint of money to get relief from-Rheu-matism,
in desperation bought some and
tried it, and declares that it is the btst
remedy for Rheumatism he ever heard
of.
It is when our budding hopes are

might have borne had they flourished.
ETOSStY TOUE.
Keokuk Constitution.
A man, or even a piece of machinery,
that does its work right every time, is,
we think, very correctly judged "valu
able." And certainly none the less valu
able is any article designed to relieve the
ills of mankind, and wnich does so every
time. Messrs Jones, Cook & Co., Bay
State Brewery, Boston, Mass., write:
We have used St. Jabobs Oil among our
men and find that it helps them "every
time." We therefore heartily recdm
mend it as a pain-healing liniment
Vever put much confidence in such as
put no confidence in others. A man
prone to suspect evil is mostly looking
out for what he sees in himself.
With a view of approximately ascer
tiining how long after death phosphorus
can be detected in cases of poisoning,
Dr. L. Medicus killed a hen with that
substance. Twenty-three days after
ward the fowl was dissected. The di
gestive organs were observed to be quite
luminous, and the presence of phos
phorus was easily detected.

A Bad Thing on Yessels.
"This sudden close of navigation is a
bad thing on vessels out," remarked an
old sail-loft man at Detroit, recently,
"bu'tldont expect our lake marine will
ever see another such time as in 1843. I
was sailing in the Albatross then, and
within twenty-four hours Lake Huron
froze six inches thick. On the morning
of November 10th it was as warm as
June. Next day we were fast in the ice
under the lee of an island, 100 miles
from the main land."
"What was the name of that island?"
asked a man who was chewing crackers
behind the stove.
"Gentlemen," said the saloonkeeper,
"this sail-loft man is a person of truth,
and I hope there will be no further in
terruptions." "There we were, fast as a rock, and
the weather growing colder all the
time," continued the narrator. "At the
eno of the next four days the ice around
us was twenty-two inrjhes thick."
"Who measured it?" queried an old
man with a frost bitten ear.
"Gentlemen, if there is any man here
who doesn't believe that ice was twenty-two
inches thick, out he goes!" ex
claimed the saloonist as he struck his fist
down.
"At the end of five days we hadn't a
scrap of provisions left There were
seven men of us, and starvation stared
us in the face. TA e fried and ate our
boot legs, and made soup of the mate's
fnr hat, aud scraped along for three or
four days, and then we drew lots to see
who should die. It fell on the cook."
"Was he a nigger?" asked the man
over a barrel.
"Gentlemen, we must have order
here!" shouted the owner of the pice
"I was selected to kill him,"" sadfjjt
continued the sail-loft man. "I put him
to sleep with morphine and then sawed'
hi? head off. He lasted us just three
davs."
The intellect of man sits visibly en
throned upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only, as God
revealed himself to the prophets of old
in the still, small voice from the burn
ng bush.
