Josh Billings on Whistlings.

hav spent great deal of time searching,
and sum money, tew find out who was the
first wisSer, but up to now | am just as much
uncivilzed on the subject as [ was.
| kan tell who played on the fust juice harp,
and who beat the fust tin pan, and know the
year the harp Of a thousand strings was dis
covered in, but when whissling was an infant,
ls as hard for me to say as my prayers in low
dutch.
Whissling is wind instrument, and is had
by puckering up the mouth, and blowing
through the hole.
Thar ant no tune on the whole earth but
that kan be played on this instrument, and
that celebrated Old tune, Yankeedoode, has
been almost wished to death.
Great thinkers are not apt to be good whiss-
lers, in fakt, when man kant think of moth
ing he begins to whistle.
We seldom see a raskal who is good whiss-
Ter. Thar is CRATE deal ov honor bright in a
sharp, puckered whissel.
Good whlssers are skarSe, 75 years ago they
was plenty, but the desire to get rich, or to
hold offs, has took the pucker out of honest
and cheerful amusement.
If had boy who couldn't whissel, don't
want to be understood that should be at
liberty to give the boy up for lost but would
much rather he would kno how to whsle fust
rate than to kno how to play second rate
game Ov cards.
wouldn't forse boy ov mine to WHSLE
again his natural inclinashuns
Wimmen, as kind, or in lump, are poor
whisslers. | dom know how found this out, i,
but am glad ov it, it is a good deal like krow-
ing in hen.
[ have often heard hens tri to crow, never
! knu one to do herself Justice
A rooster can krow well, and hen can kluck
|; well, and say let each of them stick to their
| trade.
Klucking is just as necessary in this world
as growing, espeshily if it is well did
But want 1t well understood that am the
last man on rekord who would refuse a woman
2 a chance to whissel if she was certain she had
; the right to pucker for it.
Q Sum people always whissel where thars
i danger they do this to keep the fraid out Of
y them. When was boy always konsidered
: whisSling the next best thing tn a candle tu go
n down ceer with in mite time
| don't want any better evidence of the gen.
t eral honesty thar is in whisse than the fakt
n that thar aint nothing which a dog will answer
y quicker than the whissel of his master, and
p dogs are as good judges ov honesty as emmy
t kritters that live.
n 1t is hard work to phool a dog once, and
: next to impossible tu phool him the second
: time.
n amt afraid tu trust any man for small
n amo unit who is good whistler.
y | wouldn't want tu sell him farm on kredit
:, for | should expect tu have tu take the farm
d back after awhile and remove the mortgage
st misef.
.e You cant whissel the mortgage oph from q
Is farm.
'r A fust rate whistler is like a middling siz
ed fiddler, good for nothing else, and tn,
whissing may keep man from getting lone
l. some it wont keep him from getting ragged.

BEHIND TIE SCENES IN CONGRESS.
John w. Forney, in his last article on Anec,
dotcs of Public Men," gives an inside view of
held with closed DOORS and after all have re-
tired from the chamber except the Senator'S,
the clerk, etc, viz:
" wish | could tell you all that transpires
when the doors of the Senate are shut and the
spectators and newspaper men driven out, but
as my obligations to keep the secret did not
terminate with my resignation as secretary Of
the Senate, | can only talk to you of the man
ners Of that highly respectable cOnclave. The
first thing is the utter abandon Of the Senators.
! They have no audience to look down upon and
listen to them. They have no gentlemen with
the lightning pen to telegraph them to differ
ent points. They are not called upon to face
and to fear their constituency. Bound togeth
er by solemn cOnvenant not to reveal what
tranSpires, they do exactly what pleases them
most must say, with my frequent opportuni
ties of observation, | have seen few who ever
overpassed the courteSies and propreties. All
are easier and more familiar than when under
the universal eye of a suspicious people. Those
who smoke, smoke those who like to be comfort
able take off their coats; but there is no sucl
thing as dissipation, at least inside the cham
ber. Debate is made free because there il
nobody to take it down, and the alterations
common in the open Senate are not uncommon
between those walls and yet the perfect famil
iarity of the Senators and the absence of al
restraint contribute to the adjustment Of ever!
dispute, however violent.

BARONESS BURDETT- Courts dispatch
from London announced that Miss Angela
Georgiana Burdett-COutts has accepted peer
age. Miss COutts, now 81 years of age, is the
youngest Of four daughters of Sir Francis Bur
dett, who married Sophia, the daughter of
Thomas Coutts, the famous banker, and sister
of the Marchioness of Butte and Countess of
Guildford. Mr.. Coutts left all his fortune
some $4,000, ,000-to his widow, who had
been at one time Miss Harriet Mellon, the ac-
tress. She married the Duke of St. Albans in
1927, and figures as the fat and good natured
Duchess in the very gossipy chronicles of the
time. Dying in 1887, the fortune of her hus-
band reverted to his family by her will. She
made Miss Angela Georgiana Burdett, the
daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, her sole heir
ess, with the condition that she should assume
the name of her grandfather. She never mar
ried, though an alliance was at one time un-
dersood to be on the tapis between herself and
one of the Scotch Hamiltons, who was ac-
counted one of the handsomest young noble
men Of the day. 1t was said that the young
gentleman Withdrew. Miss Coutts has devot-
ed her fortune to fostering the Establishment,
and to other works Of religion and charity
endowing churches, supporting foreign mis-
sionary establishments, improving schools, and
withdrawing Magdalens from their sin.
