Poor Philip was taken considerably aback
by q new member he invited to his house
to an entertainment he gave to Wilkie Col
Inns. The Hon. Lycurgus Leatherlungs,
from the Mill Creek bottoms Of Pennsyl-
wanna, had been to dinner-party ct Welck-
er's, and was considerably sprung when
he reached Mr.. Philips palatial residence.
A few glasses Of choice old wine there COM
pleted his utter ruin. When he was pre-
scented to the celebrated English novelist be
seized his hand, and, holding it firmly but
affectionately, he gazed with intense earn
estness in the face Of the novelist. At last,
finding words, he said:

AT this stunning information Wilkie
Collins put all his strength into frantic
endeavor to escape. This, however, only
resulted in the newly-made member Of
Congress throwing his arms around ths
neck of the novelist and kissing him or
the end of his intellectual nose. The
spectacles disappeared in the struggle, ani
the entire force Of the festive throng was
brought to bear to throw poor sMilky'
into the committee Of the whole.
Next day, on Mr.. Philip proposing to es
cort his distinguished guest to the Capitol
that he might see the Senate and House o

and said, with shudder:

The way of reform is not, however,
through the preparation of worthless jobs,
and the pampering of the few for whom
public employment may be found at the
expense of the many, who have to take
care of themselves. 1t is the cultivation
of the sham workingman by the impover-
ishment of the real workingman to which
we object !; and we feel sure that in the
long run the men and women who will
work, will be advanced and improve them
selves by a strictadherencet to sound princi-
pies, and intelligent attention to the irrepeal-
able laws Of public and political economy.

Current talk Of large farmers has
brought Tuscarawas county, Ohio, leisure
" to the front with Mr.. Elijah Meese, age
65, weight 400 pounds. He seems to be
constitutionally opposed to moving, having
occupied bis present home since 1881. He
is conspicuous person in all the public
assemblages to which he lends his presence,
and is looked up to by his neighbors,
who regard him as very good farmer,
though rather slow. As to his habits, he
never touches the flowing bowl, but he is
an inveterate smoker in winter, and he
chews tobacco all the year round.

THE New York Tribune assumes that
what it calls the limitation of currency
has resulted in Imitation Of prices" This
is absurd. The gold premium is now con-
siderably lower than it was before the in
crease of the amount Of paper money. tits
therefore ridiculously untenable to say
that prices are initiated" Indeed the ex-
cellence of the paper currency is such that
t'has been boarded just as though it were
gold. The increase Of its quantity, there
fore, has not resulted in the increase Of
the amount in circulation. And yet this is
arbitrarily denounced as Imitation. p
