Sence tho November elections I hev
BIN spendin the heft NV my time in
Washinton. find melankoly pleasl
ure in ling'rin' round the scene NV so
many Demokratic triumphs. Here it
wuz that Brooks, the heFoe, bludgeoned.
Sumner here it %u8 that Calhoon &
Yancey and Breckinridge achieved their
glory and renown. Besides, its the cas-
lest place to dodge "a board bill in the
yoOnited States. There's so many Con-,
gressmen here who resemble me, that 1
hev no difficulty in passin' for one, two
thirds NV the time. n

South Karliny. The Ginral is here on
the same hisness most NV the Southern
men hev in this classic city; that up

koored, and wuz gittin ready to 90
home and accept the nominnShen for
Congress in. his deestrick.
The Gfnral wuz gloomy. Things
didn't SCOT him, he observed, and he
wuz afeerd that the country VIM on the
high road toIrooin. He he'd bin absent
from the yoonited States suthin over
four yeers, wich time he had spent in
the southern Confederacy. When he
went out the, stopshuel, DimocriSy
