AMUSING Incidcnf-Ihe same Old CONAN in
cldent occurred at the great Wing catherine at
liamllton, on Saturday last, that created a vast
dea! OF amusement. AS one of the declarations
from aneighboring township was entering the town
IN long procession, bearing various banners,
embems and devices, and singing Wing songs in
the spirit of 1910, cluster of Locoocos standing
among the Wings were busy in making remarks
upon the approaching multitude. ..See," said one
oil The liocos, "there comes Whiggery with its
banners. clap-traps and humbugs, and should mt
wonder If they had the same old Coon they had
here in the Convention of 1870"
By filis time the van of the procession beoan
passing the group. A long string of horsenen,
SIX or eight abreast, each one bearing some appro-
pirate banner. Next came car on which num-
Der oil blacksmiihs were at work, and bearinp VA.
rious enbems Of their trade. Then came anoth-
or car bearing parcel Of shoemakers and also
having appropriate banners and devices Next
came large car of Log Cabin boys bearing va
rious embems of husbandry, and particularly a
representation of humble life in the ..Slashes of
Hanover" In the midst OF the car was a saDlin
OF kentucky oak, on which was perched noble
looking Coon, having label Immediately above
his head, In large letters, 9TH f. SAME OLD
COONn'
Soon after this was discovered, one or the
Wings roared out, "1Here comes the same old
Com sure enough!''
The Loco who had before prophecied that it
would come, appeared to he struck with utter dis
may, and with an agonized countenance, exclain-
eed, 1.-THE same old coon, ] swear" and turning to
MS Loco companions said, 'come boys, let's 90
home, we're beat now-nothino can stand a.
galnst Wing songs and Coons.''

merrlment from the Wings that made the welkin

Ter position at the next session for earv action
than il they had passed the House and been laid
aside In the Senate for want Of time to act on

iu,ons have also been passed and the general re-
SUIT OF comparison is. that this Congress has !
made more reports, passed more public laws, and !
done more important business, than any CONGRESS-
which ever convened since the formation of The
government
Inc Editors draw comparison between the
ume required to mature bills, &c. in the British
IdriaI"ent and Congress, which shows that the
average IS twice as much in the former, as in the
latter body. The Editors notice-the fact that du
ring tue present session, two very important bills
have been passed, which always require great
deal OF time, viz: The Appor,ionment Bill and
the Tariff Bill. They might also have added TWO
others OF great importance, and which required
much Time to mature, TO wit: the Remedial Jus
lice Bill, and the Election Bill. They state
the fact that the Appor,ionmcnt bills OF 1901,
1911, 1892, and 1882, occupied the House an
average Of Just thirty days each. Tho fact is de-
from the data given, that more bust
ness has been performed at late session of Con-
gress In proportion to the time occupied, than at
any session since the Government was estab-
lished.

of hoarseness. cough until, despairing Of the
sufliciency Of " Pease's Hoarhound Candy" and
common remedies, was induced to make a trial OF

cause Of relief from the hoarsencss and slight cough
