POLITICAL GOSSIP,


WHAT HENRY wATTERsoN SAYS.
Correspondence of the Louisville Courier
JourRal.l
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 1T.-You have been
told that the coming together of Congress, after
the extraordinary political revolution which
closed the autumn campaign with old-fash-
Toned Democratic "ground-sWell," has revealed
most complacent disposition among the COM
batsnts either side OF the recent line Of battle
In this you have not been misadvised. The vic
tors carry themselves as the Lord would have
the Christian who has struck oil; the Ysnquished,
instead of wasting their time with loud lament
ing look about Wistfully though furtively for the
metaphoricsl soft place referred to in Timothy,
'tull Of balm and wild honey and consolation for
the erring soul" Even the corpses, OF which
there are enough to torganize q small amateur
churchyard, are not so offensive as they might be
THE REPUBLICANS.
Butler, to begin with, takes his defeat in
grim, halEsilent way-said to be his most dan
gerous notwithstanding, with an ironical effort
at sang froid that at least two beings were made
happy thereby-his wife and Thompson's wife.
Negley is dumb. Dawes is too busy handling his
Senatorial canvass to be much moved by other
considerations. Garfield is yet uncovered from
| the shock and surprise of a narrow escape, and,
therefore, is not very active that thus far, he
remains one Of the gentlemen who devoted his
whole time to the good work of blessing God that
he was not as other men. HaWley's turn is yet
to come round with the coming OF the spring. 1t
is cheering to- note that the defeat of Phelps, of
New Jersey by only four votes, creates almost
as much regret among the Democrats as among
the Republicans. One Of the youngest members
of the House, he has displayed, in a single ses-
sion, not merely brilliant talents and culture
which have brought him to a first place in the
front rank, but an independent character and in
telligence almost unknown to the partisan poll
tics Of America.
ON THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE
the prospect is not much liveIier. Fernando Wood
is engineering his way towards the Speakership
with the cool skill Of a veteran. Beck is in the
ring, like a great prize-fger as he is, but over
jealous for the party Of which ne is the recog-
nized leader in the lower House, disposed to be
wary and to go slow. Sam Cox is as irrepressibIe
as ever. "Put me down for five minutes" he
writes to the Speaker, who is arranging the days
list Of those who are to have the floor; "put me
down for five minutes" and Blaine wickedly re-
plies, Il wish l could put you down for two
minutes and half" ClRrkson Potter is prepar-
ing constitutional amendment which will make
its mark, and Lamar is going to tell the story Of
Mississippi when the Eicksburg Investigators
make their report. But, far as new issues, or
the revival Of old issues, or the Introduction Of
anything mis:hievous and picturesque, the first
week Of the session gives out no sign.

DEATH OF Mrs. WlEsEL.--Her many
friends in this city will be deeply pain
ed to bear OF the death Of Mrs. Mary
Wiesel, widow Of the lameDted Doctor
Wiesel OF this city. This sad event
occurred on Saturday night at the resl'
deuce OF her late husbands father in
Cumberland, Nd. She died OF puerperaI
lever, and leaves a child, a doubIy or
phaned girl, about four weeks old.
Mrs. Wiesel was fit companion Tor
her husband. and was beloved by all
who knew her with an affection scarce
" lsss than that that was so uDlver-
sally felt for the Doctor.
The members OF the Wesel
Musical Institute o! this city made
arrangements few weeks ago for pre-
senlug to her testimonial OF their
regard for her and for him whose name
che so worthily bore, little dreaming Of
this new bereavement Her separa-
ration from her husband has been very
brief, and we doubt not that their re-
union has been joyful. Lovely were
they in their lives and in their death

A FIsHKRMAN's OurrIr.-Ons who

A FIsHRRMAN's OuTFIT.-One who
has had much experience in angling
says the best policy is to secure the best
possible outfit. Cheap tackle is an
abominatiop, as thousands who have
been persuaded to try it have learned to
their sorrow. The best is always the
cheapest, a. it is always the most salts
factory. Low priced lines not only lack
the requisite strength, but they are lla"
BILE to "kjuk," and if not unwieldy in
size do not possess the requisite
strength. Good lines are expensive
but properly cared for they will last a
long time. The same advice applies to
hooks. While there 10 great diversity
OF opinion amongst anglers in regard to
shape, there ia none when quality 10
talked OF. Some give the preference to
The Kirby, others to the Limerick
others still to the Virginia and Penn
sylvsnia, but all maintain that the
English hooks, in point OF material,
excel all others.
In relation to rods much could be
said. A natural, nicely balanced bsm-
boo for ordinary fishing is oil thai any
one could desire. Art has not improv-
ed greatly upon it, but then it is un
wieldy about the house, aud not just
the thing for a person to carry through
the streets or introduce into passenger
cars. A joined rod therefore becomes
indispensable to comfort aud convent
euce; and OF these the name is legion
and the prices as varied as the styles
A good rod is 3 treasure, a poor one
an absolute nuisance. 10 getting an
outfit, therefore, let good rod be the
frat desiderstum. Such an article IL
