An exchange remarks that the Con.
gress Of the United States lie being con-
verted into mere aggregation OF in.
vestigating committees. ''There ia a
custom-house investigating committee
now sitting in New York. A New Or
leans investigating committee from
Washington is at the Crescent City. The
committee OF the District OF Columbia
has just been constituted nn investigat.
ing committee to inquire into the con-
duct of affairs under the new Territorial
Government. The Committee on Com
meroe has also been made on 'investigat-
ing committee, to examine the charges
against the quarantine officers OF Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Garrett Davis row insists
on committee to investigate President

committees is black spot upon the
record of the Radical party which cannot
be removed.

III his lecture on Artcmus Ward, Mark

Iu his lecture on Artcmus Ward, Mark
Twain tells the following:
When Artemus was very young, he and
companion got hold OF apack of cards,
and learned to play eucbre. Artemus
was perfectly fascinated with the game,
and played it as often as he had an op.
portunity; but it had to be done on the
ally, and he had to hide his cards from his
parents. So, when he was looking out
for place to hide them, the boys thought
the safest place where they could put the
cards vas IN tho pocket Of the minister's
black gown, under the very @gis of the
church. don't know what mgis means,
but it's good word, and suppose it's
all right. Well, the old minister was
called to baptize convert, and as he
went down into the water wearing q
gown, the cards began to come up to the
surface and float of. The boys, who
we're on the bank Watching, though in
great fear, kept their eyes on the cards.
AS it happened. there came up first two
bowers and three aces. Of course the
boys were thrashed, and an old aunt of
Artcmus' proceeded to lecture him on
the enormity Of the crime. why"
said she, s'just imagine how the poor
man must have felt when he saw the
cards coming up! Ishould have thought
he would have tainted. and I don't see
how ho got ont" "Well." said Artc.
muo, II don't SEQ how he could help
going out on such hand"
