FoRNEY's Washington Chronicle,
whose editor is supposed to be in the
confidence of the leading Republic
cans, says in Z, dOuble-leaded article
of the 25th: "President Hayes, it is
said, is awakened to the Importance
of the occasion, and manifests an
earnest disposition to do all in his
power to aid the Republican party
in securing unity of action in the
Sena!e, notwithstanding the fact
that this feeling was not reciprocal
ted among many leading Senators,
who showed very little desire for
harmony"

Observation-Disclosures.
why Blaine and C0mkling Didm't
speak During Eleven Years
whitening Sarcasm Dur
ing Debate in the

From a debate in the house in
1866: Mr.. COnkling desired to add
that no commission, papers or au-
thOrity whatever was Issued to him,
except the letter of retainer which
had been read. If the member
from Maine had the least idea how
profoundly Indifferent to him his
opinion was on the subject he had
been discussing or any other subject,
he thought he would take the trouble
to express it. He apolOgized to the
house for the length of time he had
occupied in consequence of being
drawn into the matter by an inter
ruptiOn which he had before de-
nouneed to be ungentlemanly and
impertinent, and having nothing
whatever to do with the matter.
Mr.. Blaine said he knew that this
was what they called down east
drumming emptyings." The gentle
man from New York could not get
off on the technical pretense that he
did not hold a commission as judge
advocate. Many an officer had led
a brigade, a division or corps, with
no more of a commission than such
one as the gentleman from New
York held. AS to the gentleman
cruel sarcasm, Mr.. Blaine continued,
l hope he will let me escape his dis
dain. His lordly pompOsity, his
majestic overtOwering, his turkey
gobbler strutting, have been SO
crushing to myself, aud to all MEM
bers of the house, that know it was
an act Of the greatest temerity on
my part to venture on provoking
them. But / know who was re-
spOnsible for it all. / know for the
last five weeks an extra strut has
seized the gentleman. 1t is not his
fault-it is the fault Ofanother. That
gifted and satirical man, Theodore
Tilton, of the New York Independ-
emf, was over here spending some
weeks and writing home letters, in
which, among some serious things,
he put some iocoSe things, among
the crueleSt of which was that the
mantle of the late Winter Davis had
fallen on the member from New
York. He (ConkIing) took it as
serious, and has since strutted more
than usual. Well, the resemblance
is great-as striking as Hyperion to
a satyT, Thersites to Hercules, mud
to marble, dung-hill to diamond,
a singed cat to Bengal tiger, a Whin-
ing puppy to roaring lion. Shade
of the mighty Davis, forgive the al
most PROCLAMATION of that jocOse sa-
tire!

mR. EDITOR CALLED UPON.
Sad Fate of "A COmpOSitOr and a
Proof Reader-A Tale with
n Moral.

PROOF Aca0eF-A AaHe Win
IA Moral.
A Boston exchange tells us that a
Western editor wrote the following
innocent paragraph for his paper
"FrOm the sample trunks in the
Railways of the hotels, we should
Judge the drummers from New York
houses have arrived in town"
When he returned from dinner the
grinning office boy announced to him
that four gentlemen were waiting to
see him.
"Where are they ~ asked the
quill driver.
"Well," said the imp, ''they've
been smoking in the composing
room till the compositOrs have
sneezed all the type ont of their
sticks, N they've sent me out six
times for beer, N now they're play
in draw poker with the foreman on
the imposing stone"
every well ," said the editor, bring
ing a large club in the corner more
into view, replacing the paper cutter
with bowie knife, and half open
ing a drawer in which reposed re-
VOlVer, "ShOW 'em in"
Four gentlemen in very plain suits,
with very large diamond pins and
very loud watch chains, with lock-
cts at the end as big as dollars, en-
tered, the foremost laying a card on
the desk inscribed:
"SHARP, CHISEL & Co.,
No 1901, Beekman Street, n. v,
Hardware and Cutlery"
in small letters, and
"Presented by GEO, GOUGEr"
In very large ones, asked: "Are you
the editOr?"
The journalist looked at the party
quietly, as if calculating the cost of
their grave clothes, and answered,
"Iere is a little paragraph about
commercial Travellers" said Mr..
GOuge, pulling a paper from his
pocket, (which me and my friends,
who are members of the Temple Of
Honor, and belong to the Young
Mems Christian Association of New
York, would like explained"
The miserable man took the paper
mechanically and gazed at his para
graph, which the cOmpOsitOr had set
as follows:
ssFrom the simple DRINKS in the
hellways of hotels, we should judge
the drunkards from New York
houses have arrived in town."
Quietly taking up his revolver the
editor strobe upstairs. Two sharp
reports and heavy falls were heard,
and the journalist returned 4 t.
pleasantly remarked to his visitors:
Gentlemen, there are not many
entertainments in this town now,
but a proof reader and o0mpoSitQr
are to be buried tomorrow, and if
you care for that sort Of thing, should
be pleased to see you at the funeral"
And he went down to write an
obituary notice, while that night
through the cold and heavy mist,
four gentlemen bought railway tick
cts for Chicago.

cheering. Now, if never, was the
bloody chasm bridgcd and the unhap-
Py memories of the war buried in
utter oblivion. Some of the more
susceptible gentlemen were affected
10 tears during this thrilling episode.
'Ihc festivities were then resumed and
light.
This was, indeed, gratifying
spcc'aclc--thc reconciliation Of the
North and South a cr years of bitter
est hostility. And to think that Il
little champagne did it. How much
better had this device been tried at al
earlier stage. If, for instance, the
three thousand million dollars wasted
in the war had been invested in a
thousand million bottles Of cham
payne; or better, thrcc-fourths in
champagne, and the balance in ginger
ale for the rcd-ribbon tcetotalcrs.
Sectional issues would have been over
Whclmcd in that sparkling torrent as
Clarence was drowned in the butt Of
Nlalmscy wine. When Blaine and
BLACKBURN shake hands, the average
statesmen can afford TO embrace. We
only hope that the army, and the three
coordinate branches Of government,
including the "Tourth estate" that re-
ported the proceedings, and the
disciple Of Mclpomcnc, in whose honor
the champagne flowed, were not
borne by policemen to the bosoms Of
their respective families in the gray
dawn, to the mclodious notes of owe
wont go home till morning" And
what is more to the purpose, we trust
that Senator Blaine's champagne sat
kindly on his stomach, SO that he will
have no trace Of headache when he
makes that promised speech on the
South Carolina and Louisiana cleo
tions.
