WON ""C, o'yoaFN OCeT ana go 10 Lne
Baltimore laces. We hope this week
they'll edo suthin." Those who bet on
| Ten Brock, came back dead-broke. The
| old member has chosen his desk. recon-
mended every mothers son of 'em for pa
| ges, paired his nails, and calmly surveys
the House with ''Now bring on your Chor-
penning claim and appropriation bill.'
SOME PIIooL writer has written all over
the country that the picture of Mr.. Lin
coin, and others were removed from the
library of the Agricultural Departments
by female clerkess of rebel proclivitics
It's Il derned no! They We're taken down
to have their faces washed and the walls
cleaned. Mr.. Lincoln's picture was not
disturbed. After the faces of Sherman,
Grant, and Fisk were rubbed well, they
were replaced and if their public records
| could be as easily cleaned and their lives
as well purified the country at large
would breathe much freer.
SITTING BULL
after sitting down on the Commission.
said his great father at Washington, was
a great fraud, and he was going to stick
by his mother the Queen. Take him, Vic,
old gal, we don't want any prodigal son
in Our'n. Doctor BLISS of our city is
waving the bloody shirt encouragement of
to the Radical party; he says Morton is
somewhat better. This Bliss full episode
causeth the Rad to invest ten cents, in
another "bccr." TWEED is becoming so
good in his new home that he writes to a
friend here, favoring civil service reform.
There now, Mr. Hayes you have stand
off for Roscoe Conkling.
OLD p,-ARALYT1C MoRToS's
vacant chair still remains in the Senate,
whilst the withered legs, chuckle head,
bull-neck, double barrelcd dog kennel
nose, tigerish mouth and blacking brush
nustnrhe that formerly occupied it, wres
ties will grim death. He was the ac-
kn"wlcdged strongest man OH the Radi-
cal side, their Moses in troubled times,
and his absence is i, big gap in the Radi-
cal ranks that they can ne'er replace.
The blac kened trown. and brutal energy,
which has deticd "old Grim" so long, will
never again revisit tie Senate, at least
with the SAME. impei.iosity and ferocious-
uess. hilst Morton aimed to be the
wasnl hearted, inpulsive and witty
rhaG Stevens OF the Senate, he fell far
short OF lis mark, being rs cold as an ice
hcra. with Il head that would take a
Whole Army of Surgeons to cram joke
in, and Il heart impaSsivc to the suppica
ti"ns of the oppressed.
THE GAY SEASON
is upon lis, Judging from the titled
people that have come among us. The
Ebbtt House rotunda, is nightly filled
with KnOtt's of Statesmen, wrestling ov
or Mr.. Hayes policy. The hell-boy scoots
around with tightening velocity on the
quirire for that quarter. whilst the hack
man Oh the outside bellows to the exiting
member, "IIere's your old driver, Colonel
The tonsorc vigilant, scented and smil-
ing calls to each unshavcn face that pas
ses, Walk right in Judge! yer mex" The
sidewalk in front of Willard's, at 10 a. m.
is strewn with punches Of Generals, Com
,nodore's and Admirals, fringing the pave
ment with big sunfiower-like faces, the
buds on their noses, out rivalling the car
mine Geranium, as the crowds of Treasu- |
nv clerks hasten from their boarding |
houses to their place of daily strife. These |
90 and more come whilst the Congress |
sional band plays, and the Elephant goes |
around gathering more big bugs, with |
which to fill up the vacancy. Verify we
are big people! "RoBERTs" the social
ed firSt-cass riter-ess for our Don Piatt's |
sCapital," says, if the Senate wants in |
formation rs to her alledged corruption |
and rascally stea!ings in the "Limburger"
Department of Carl Schurz's, she'll just |
ring her little Bell and inform them. All |
right Bobbie, now who'll Storm" on her |
next. Stand up gentlemen of the Senate
and let's have both sides, for Bell-ringing |
by one department produces growth in the |
pump-kin seed bureau of she Agricultural |
Depot.
THE CHILL BLAINE
of the former Sunstroke-ex-Speake now |
convalescing in Our city, was caused by |
daughter smearing her face not with |
paint but, paper gun-wad. The slight |
accident to the young lady. we hope will
no,, disfigure her heretofore lovliness, and !
we most cheerfully accord to Miss Blaine
her usual place among our Washington
Graces, "Come love, comew whilst our
Pennsylvania avenue is dashingly resplen-
