Mr.. STEVENS (Thaddeus of War aaws).-Mr.
Speaker, all shall attempt on this occasion is to
place before the House distinctly, and hope
intelliglbly, the true meaning of the proposition
submitted. 1t is true we have been informed by
''the man at the other end of the Avenue" who
keeps stand, that if trade is abolished here, it
must increase there, as visitors to the nations
capital, as well as members, find it cheaper to
buy cakes and candies through tue day and pay
for lodgings, than to take up with regular board
at the present prices at the Hotels.

The House then took vote on the amend
ment in its original form and as amended by Mr.
Eldridge, and With Mr.. Raymonds objections
embodied in it, and carried it by two.thirds
vote, so that it was not necessary to refer it to
the 'man at the other end of the avenue"

MI Series Editor-Dear Sir:-Going up Ches-
nut street the other evening, l stopped into
basement Concert Saloon, and found abasement
all around Gf you think this pun can be i'm
proved, please do it). waited through two or
three songs, when my curiosity was excited by
their customs. But as / am reckoned O poet in
our town, will put my musings into verse.
MUSINGS IN CONCERT SALOON.
By a Young Man from The Country.
When man sticks hat on the back of his head,
Tell me, o Editor why do they roar
And. then, when he pushes it forward instead,
Why do they scream twice as loud as before?
When an elderly gentleman rumples his hair,
Why do they all go delirious as we'll?
When he uses a handkerchief out of repair,
Why do they why do they why DO they yell
When vulgar virago is singing her song,
Why must she offer herself as q wife?
Why give applause about ten minutes long,
When she says this is the ''happiest hour" of
her life,
What does singer intend to imply
BY "Whack fol the larity larity layW
What can he hope to convey to me by
Singing Rum ti-id-ity, id-ity 2" eh?
Yours out of the Saloon, TOMATO.
