How CoNGREss TREATS THE NEaRoRs.
In another part of the gallery, our rural
friend notices crowd of coiored people
all to themselves. He is surprised at
this, for at the headquarters of no dig
tlnction on account of race or color or
previous condition, he expected to see
the races mixed up in due harmonious
mass, as an example for the wicked
Southern States. He is panied to see
colorcd people themselves, here even
under the wings of the American eagle
and over the bald heads of the Congress.
men who have talked so long and 80
loudly about the beauty and advisabi!ity
OF us all dwelling together as brethren,
without distinction Of race or color. A
long, distance away from his oolored
brothers, he sees quite q collection of
ladies', and he musters up courage to ask
OF the man who sits next to him who
those ladies are. The man opens his
eyes and says they are mostly the wives
anu daughters of Congressman, who
come to look down upon their gigantic
protectors below, and see what part they
play in tho mighty war. Our friend
answers, that if such be the case. he ia
panied to notice considerable distinc.
ton of color, and wonders why there
should be 80 much difference between
theory aud practice. His neighbor smiles
and replies, "Oh, these Congressman
talk like philosophers and aot like men. /"

The Misunderstanding between Prus-

an ignoble origin. A tavern brawl is a
Trivial thing to cause trouble between
two great nations, aud such is said to
have been at the bottom of the matter.
1t appears that seven or eight Prussian
officers, being in coffee house at Rio
DC Janeiro, got into quarrel with some
Brazllians. Hard words arose. general
light ensued, and the Prussinns, having
elected their opponents, went to work
and smashed everything in the house.
While this pastime was in progress, the
police arrived. Most unfortunately, the
Prnssians resisted the officers of the law,
more lighting took place, wounds we're
given on both sides, and finally the bel
llgerent Foreigners were captured and
taken to prison. Among them is said
to be near relative of Prince Bismarck,
and the whole business looks very dish.
greeable. A diplomatic correspondence
has been exchanged, and the prisoner,
have been set at liborty. But the report
from Hamburg, that German squadron
was under orders to fit out ut KEEL anu
sail for brazilian waters seems to bo con-
trmed, and it is not impossible that Sc
rious complications will arise from m
absurdly Insignificant occnsion.
