A Strange Character.

The Wadhington correspondent of tn,
Cincinnati Commercial furnishes the follow.
ing:
| remember one old woman, she must bs
| dead now who fused to sit near the report
ers' gallery. in corner, all day long. with
her knitting. She must have been nearly
| seventy Years old, for she was gray and
wrinkled and bent with age. and her voice
was shrill and piping. Her dress wss al
ways the seme-a dress of dark WOODEN
stuff, and bonnet of black silk, something
between hood and sunbonnet. For many
years that old lady occupied that seat. She
was never seen in another. She come long
beiore-house assembled, and remained until
it adjourned. Nothing was known of her.
She paid no attention to anything but her
knitting and the proceedings of the house.
She was the great mystery nobody knew
er nobody, could tel! Syfre -.he came
frem. what her name "as.s nor where she
went to. 1t was only known she was never
absent from that seat during the sessions of
the House. Every day found her in the
sane place.
1t made no diffeaence whethor the mud
OF fall and spring were knee deep; i, mat
tered not if the wind blew the snow of the
whites in biting eddies about the ears Of
out door folks; it availed not if the session
was delayed long in tropical summer. when
the galleries we're like immense bake ovens,
sparkling and swapping with heat--nothing
kept her away. She came as regularly as
the hour of twelve on the big clock in front
of the Speaker, and abe always had. or at
least appeared to have, the same work.
This was counted little strange: for she
tOiled most misunderstanding, it is
true. now and then for a second, to bend
over the railing when any exciting OCCUR
renee was taking place.
What was most peculiar in this strange
woman, she seemed to take the deepest in
terest in the proceeding. and she wetched
them with the intelligence which denoted
her thorough understanding of what was
occurring. She would frequently break out
with such exclamations a., "Good for you."
That's right" That's a lie.""Oh. YOU
are very sharp" Il hope he'll carry it,"
etc. The stranger sitting near would turn
aud look the old woman in the face for a
moment, but she was uumoced, paying no
attention. but continuing her knitting. She
did not seem to have deranged mind, but
single circumstance led many to believe
that her mind was somewhat unsteady.
Whenever vote in the house was taken
vira roce. she would cry out as 'oud as any
of them, aye" and when the Speaker
called tor the negative vote she would an
swer in thu same manner, no" She voted
on both sides of every question. and never
lodged. being somewhat in advantage of
a good many OF the members in this respect
This strange woman disappeared from her
accustomed place in the gallery about two
years ago. She departed as quietly and
as she came nobody knows
from whence she came, or whittier she has
gone. She is probably among the dead, for

said to be neither novel nor difficult. The
fact is that about two ounces of powder are

in. When the gun is fred all the poVdcr is
ignited. and the fash. smoke and report are
orthodox, but the ball receives propulsion
only from the small quantity Of powder be-
