Another subject of conversation here dur
ing the past week was the action of Clerk
Adams III making up the roll of the House
of Representatives. Clerk Adams is not as
well known to your readers as Cronin. He
should be. The work he is doing is simi-
lar to that accomplished by Cronin in one
respect. He is notoriety's last darling. 1t
seems but yesterday when he was an oh
Scure Kentucky countrymau, wandering
through the painless blue grass meadows
of his native State. Thus, when the "ti-
dial wave " of 1874 swept over the country
he launched his political boat in the waters,
and striking fair wind and lucky current,
he was carried pellmell along, and at last
eddied into the Clerk S chair of the House
of Representatives, whore he has been an
chored ever since to the prejudice of the
best interests of the country and national
legislature. He has made himself q com
mittee of one, with full power to organize
the House according to his idea of how the
thing should be done. As a self-consti-
tuted committee he has already begun to
exercise some arbitrary authority which
must necessarily receive the censure of the
House and the Condemnation of all right
thinking people. "Sich is life" Whittier
are we drifting, and what has become of

SOCIETY IN NORFOLK,

pleasant. There are many clever and
beautiful women, but from what | learned
| was forcibly reminded of the old saying
that marriage is the chief aim, hope and
desire of woman," for there are damsels
in the Atlantic city whose imaginations
ale completely enthralled by the gallant
sons of Neptune. A citizens coat stands
nowhere. To many a naval officer is the
very summit of their hopes and desire.
a choice morsel Of gossip obtained here
is. that certain ship stationed at
the Navy Yard, commanded by unmarried
officers, who found themselves SO entangled
10y engagements, promises and betrothals,
that IN their despair they petitioned the
Secretary OF the Navy to order them to
the coast of Africa. 1t was DONE and at
