Congressional PrintIn e Office.

s.Gaih," in one of his intei esting let
ters to the Chicago Tribune, has this 10
say of that peculiar institution of tne
Government, known as the Congress
sional Printing Office, audits influence
on Washington journalism. But how
could Congressmen get their speeches
printed in pamphlet form TO be distli.
buted if this institution were dis
turbed: ,l..
The history of public Institutions is
small beginnings, perseverance, audac-
ity, finally respectabiliiy, and at last
Immortality.
Not many years ago, a lobbyist and
printer, by the name OF Wehdell, built
a large. brick house here, expecting to
control the printing of the Official party
organ, and incidentally IN get binding
folding, and SO forth, from Democrat
ic Administration. Little by little that
cffice has crept along, seizing this per-
quisite and that, until it has become a
vast department, with architectural
pretenSiOnS, crammed with presses,
densely inhabited by men and women,
and finally it has plucked the debates
of Congress out of the time-honored es-
tablishment of the GiO6e, and, in order
to have reason for never surrender
ing those debates, the Superintendent
bought 81, 900 pounds of type, so that
he can say triumphantly, ''lf you take
these debates away from me you will
lose this type metal" Now the frank
ing privilege is demanded anew as a
mainstay of this printing office; but
the Government, in making the
change, has lost control of the stereo-
type plates of all the former Congress
es, and this vast printing house, which
has no equal in the world, controls the
Typographical Association of the cap
ital, where the rates of composition are
higher than elsewhere in the country;
and it would be possible for this print
ing Office to make the publication of an
opposition journal impossible at the
most vital spot where the Government
should be challenged.

"Mr. JC ues, of Wooster street. is a

harmless as a corpse. TIE other night

her just to expires his Indignation AT

and then put his head under the clothes
and pretended that he wanted To steer

him a minute peace, anu he hLally
thought he b ad better get up and see
about it. BE said he wasn't AFRAID oil
any living robber, but he did object to
having his spinal vertebr3 land bare.
Mr.. Jones got up and hunted for ii
match. First he ran his head against
the edge of the closet GOOr, and then he
knocked the clock off the mantelpiece,
and when it burst open on his bare feet
and filed his legs full of bits of glass
and sharp-pointed wheels, he simply
said something about Helen somebo-
dy- his wife didn't bear the last name
and asked Mrs. Jones whether she
would never make up her mind to
leave the matches where he could get
at them, or whether she would prefer
to see him cut to pieces and made a
mangled corpse. Finally, he found
the matches, and after trying in vain
to light six of them he got one to light
at last. Before he could find the lamp
he dropped the match, aud it lit sec
ond time. In fact it lit on his bare
foot. Mrs. Jones told him that as a
church member he ought to be astam-
ed OF himself, and what would the in
nocent children. think if they could
hear him? At last he managed 10 get
the lamp lit, and found that the cat
was sleeping serenely at Mrs. Jones
feet, and that her purring had beer
mistaken by that lady for the breath
ing of whole gang of robbers. Mr..
Jones sat on the side of the bed and
talked to Mrs. Jones in kind and
lChristian way about that cat and those
matches and that clock and that clos

down to the drug store and bought ar

YOETRY:
-cuE GUESTS OF NIGHT.
BY BArARD TAYLOR.

BY RA1ARD TAAbohs
/ ride in gloomy land,
I travel a ghostly shore
Shadows on either hand,
Darkens behind and before
Wells of the summer night
Dusking the woods / know;
A whisper haunts the height,
And The rivulet croons below.
waft from the roadside bank
Tells where the wild-rose mods;
rhe hoIloys are heavy and dienk
with the steam of the golden-rods;
Incense of Night and Death,
Odors of Life and Day,
Meet aud mix in breath,
Drug me, and lapse away.
l. it the hand of the Past,
Stretched forth from its open tomb,
Or spell from thy glamoury cast,
O mellow and mystic gloom!
All, within I have part,
All that was loss or gam,
SIips from the clasping heart,
Breaks from the grasping brain.
Lo. what is left? / am bare
AS a newborn soul, Il am naught
NV deeds are as dust in the air,
MY words are as ghosts of thought.
I ride through the night alone,
Detached from the life that seemed
And the best have felt or known
Is less than the least L dreamed.
But the Night, like Agrippa's grass,
Now, as Iquestion it, clears;
Over its vacancy pass
The shapes of the crowded years;
Meanest or most august,
Hated or loved, see
The dead that have long been dust,
The living, SO dead to me.
Place in the worlds applause?
Nay, there is nothing there!
Strength from unyieiding laws?
A gleam, and the glass is bare.
The lines of life in song?
Faint runes on the rock of time?
see buta feFna4ess throng
OF shadows that fall or climb. ,,
What else?. Am I then despoiled
OF the garments wOve and wore?
Have l SO refraiEed and tniled,
To find there is naught in store?
have loved, II love! Behold,
How the steady pictures rise!
And the shadows are pierced with go
From the stars of immortal eyes.
Nearest or most remote,
But dearest, hath none delayed;
Aud the spirit of kisses float ia
Ger the lips that never fade.
The Night each guest denies
OF the hand or naughty brain,
But the love that were, arise;
And the loves that are, remain.

week, in this state, one at jacksonville ana
the other at Fairbury. Both were congress
ional conventions of delegates from the lar

the respective districts, and the objec, OF bo.h
was TO make arrangements for calling nomin-
ating conventions 10 present candidates to be
supported by the Reformers or anti-nonopo-
lists foy congress. At both resolutions were
adopted endorsing the action of the Decatur
convention last fall, and both appointed Con

THE LEGISLATURE.

While the Legislature is still unablc to make
up its mind to adjourn, the members are evi
IDENTITY feeling the spring fever and resolutions
to adjourn sine die receive more respectful
hearing of late. 1t begins to look as If the
Legislature might yet adjourn before congress
If all the members were like Mr. Green, OF
10 Davess county, they would adjourn sooner
for that gentleman, having been absent some
four weeks, refused to receive his per diem fol-
the lost time.
The bus ness Of the Legislature is almost
exclusively confined to the consideration OF
the bills revising the statutes. The work is a
tedious one, and much of it supcrtluous, for
it Is quite as likely that the statutas rs q
whole will be no better after than they were
before the revision, though they may be
brought into a more ineligible, condensed
form.

relation to the supreme court, the clause to
consolidate the court was again adopted on

SUMNER.

Since the funeral of Henry Clay, Washing

been given, brought him their homage. The
proceedings, by special request we're confined
to the simplest burial service, at the conclu'
sion of which the remains were placed on
hoard the train To be taken TO Boston. They
rested at night ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in
New, York, and on Saturday were conveyed
to Boston, accompanied by committee OF
each house of Congress, lialithe population
of Boston seemed to have turned out to meet
the remains az they arrived in that city, aud
business for the entire day was virtually suS
pended The remains wcr" conveyed to the
State House, where they lay in state from
morning until o'clock IN the afternoon
While there an autopsy was had, witnessed by
dozen of the leading medical men of the
city. The autopsy cmphatically confirms the
previous diagnosis of DR.. Drown-Scquard, and
showed that the cause of Mr. Summers death
was angina pcctoris. AS stated, there was
nothing abnormal about the brain, and there
was no trace of the wound infected upon Mr.
Summers head years ago.
From the State House, II p. NJ, the re-
mains were borne amid great pomp by an in

dent Wilson, Governor Washburn, the city
authorities, and band of 40 musicians to
Kings Chapel where the burial service OF
