DURING the latter portion OF the
hst session of Congress, Mr.. Ella OF
the Printing conimitte of the House
was charged with the investigation
of charges of fraud against the per-
SONS holding the contracts for sup
plying the Interior Department with
stationery. That investigation, in
conjunction with one similar, made
by the Retrenchment Committee, led
to the introduction OF Il joint resolu-
ton annulling the contracts which
We're held by firm doing business
in Washington. Congress adjourned,
however, without passing the resolu-
ton. Afterward, the Commissioners
of Patents made complaint TO the
Secretary Of the Interior that the
stationery and printing of his Bu
reau were of n very inferior quality,
and not what lie bargained for. The
Secretary of the Interior ordered a
Commission to examine into the
complaints, and report 10 him. Ii is
charged that the stationery contrac
tors managed To have their friends
appointed Oh the Commission, and a
report sustaining them was, Of
course, made. Instead of finding
any abuse in the quality of the sup
plies that were furnished, they as
serted that the contractors ought to
be paid for 300, 400 sheets of bond pa
per, for which they never had a con
tract, and which the Acting Com
missioner Of Patents at that time
never ordered. These contractors
furnished 300, 900 sheets last May, at
eight cents n sheet, which the COM
mittee on Printing tscertained could
he furnished al about one cent and n
half q sheet. At the rate it is now
used this was enough to last Il dozen
years. 1t would seem that Il man
fitted to examine a patent ought to
see an abuse in this if he could not
find any in their getting pay for
- 900 or SSsodD worth Of goods ia
about one month, where The men
" ho kept an account of all recei ved
for more than three-auarters OF the
time didn' receive 500 worth, and
nobody can find who got the rest
/ The report made by the Printing
Committee in .Jaly last show ed that
a large sum had been paid for blank
books, So large as to astonish the
present Commissioned of Patents,
and he set about Ia see who had re-
ceivei them. He found six index
books had been charged al 50
apiece, and that six had been re-
ceiVet not worth seventyfiye cents
apiece. He found 4t caveat book =
charged at more tlIan So apiece,
when there couldn't be ten found in
the office, and they not worth hall
the price charged. He also disco v
cred that the Patent Office Wa pay
ing : Ia per ! 600 for patent cards,
worth about 81, and So for card TAGS
worth about -, aud that 80, GOO had
been paid FOR, of which only 5o,Usi
could he accounted for as having
| been received. Brown MANILA en-
/ velopes, the Committee found, were
costing ! Is per Thousand, which,
witt, printing added, probably cost
- n Thousand, and while o,tFNi
F, were paid for, the Patent eifice re
Z ported only io, ,opi a. having been re-
/ ceived.s They found also ) l-io Il thou
sand We're paid for patent heads
which, are now costing bnt S2J per
! thousand. There were - 600 charg-
ed and paid for, but not halt the
number could be accounted for n

\ representative, in his maiden
speech on the fioor of Congress-, in re-
ply to an opponent, by his telling
hits, witty speeches and puns, kept
the House in = roar Of laughter for
nearly an hour aud a half, closing
mid quite a demonstration Of appro-
batiou, and a. he thought with sue
cess. What Was his astonishment
after having received coDgratula-
tt,us of several friends at the close OF
the days proceedings, to be greeted
by MIR. Benton who, taking him
aside, said
"S'r l have heard your speeeh. l
have been here many years Thii il
your first session. Will YOU permit
me to give you "a bit of advice ?''
''Certainly, sir,n was the reply. II
shall feel honored by your courte-
Sy.H f
"Well, sir,n said Mr.. Benton
''your speech WAS exceedingly bril-
liant ii sparkled il was funny
they laughed most heartily at it
but never DO such a thing here
again, if you wish To advance as q
statesman and politician.
''What :" said the astonished dis
putant, never make speech ?''
"No. sir, not that, but don't max {
people laugh, ~ replied Benton.
Not make people laugh, Mr.. Ben
ton! Why, it requires some genius
to make a witty speech
''True, sir, but the public has a
poor appreciation of genius. You
must gain a reputation for wisdom
not wit. You can gain a reputation
tor wisdom inCongress by not speak
ing single word during the ses.

GA reputation for wisdom ~
Certainly. Sit still and look wise
Mankind is prone to reverence the
solemn ass ,,'S
There was a deal of truth in olo
Toms assertion, as the gentleman
he gave the advice afterwards learn
ed, for he was many years after the
leader of his party in the United
States Senate, though one of the
most quiet and unassuming mem
bers of that august body.
