She was graceful, learned and elegant fine tssts

Too conscious OF her own superiority 10

encouraged the debutante into FASH

She loved learning and honored the learned. II

WASHINGTON, March t7.-The Senate
adjourned sine die to-day. The only
thing the body did was to appoint u
rowing commission, with the bigamist,
Nipple Mitchell, at its head, TO go to
Oregon and investigate whether Grover
obtained his seat by the use OF money.
Ton thousand dollars was voted for the
purpose. Il will be used TO buy free
drinks, cigars, and undoubtedly also
for additional wives for Mitchell, on the
European plan. The Democrats could
have prevented this MISUSE OF govern
ment funds, but glt.edged dignity stood
In the way OF duty. They thought that
inasmuch as Grover had asked for the
investigation, he ought to be accom-
modated, and hence they let Mitchell
get away with the swag. II the Senate
on the Democratic side had less dignity
and more nerve, the dear people who
pay tho fiddler would be better served.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.

Joe Haines was more remarkable fol
his practical jokes than for his acting
He was seized one morning by two bail
ifs for debt Of Go, as the Bishop oi
Ely was passing by in his coach.
Gentlemen" said Joe, "here's my
cousin, the Bishop of Ely, going to his
house. Let me speak to him, and he'll
pay the debt and charges"
The hailifs thought they might ven,
ture this, as they were within three OF
four yards of him.
Joe went boldly up to the coach, and
took his hat off to the Bishop. His Lord
ship ordered the coach to stop, when Joe
whispered him gently:
"My Lord, here are two men with
such great Scyn6les Of conscience that
fear they'll hang themselves"
Very well, " said the Bishop; so, call
ing the bailiffs, he said; "You two men
come to me tomorrow morning and
7OiN satisfy yON." The men bowed and
went away we'll pleased.
Early on the following day the bailiffs
expecting the debt and charges, paid a
visit to the Bishop, when, being intro.
duced, his Lordship addressed them:
"Well, my men, what are your scru>
pies :"
"Scruples /" echoed the bailihs, 1--WE
have no ScrR6GeSl We are bailiffs, my
Lord, who yesterday arrested your
cousin, Joe Haines, for a debt of E2o,
and your Lordship kindly promised to
satisfy us to day."
The Bishop, rejecting that his name
and honor would be exposed were he
not to comply paid the debt and charges.
