Now that it has become Known that Mr.
Speaker Randall had selected General Hunton
fur the Craftsmanship of the Committee OF the
House of Repre- ssntatves on the District OF
Columbia, and was only prevented from ap'
pointing him by reason of tho urgent protests
of the Washiugtooians who charged him With
being an agent of the District Ring, it is but
reasonable to suppose that the reports extern
sively circulated throughout the district, that
he was debarred from the prominent places 10
which he was justly entitled because he voted
for MI. Goode for Speaker, will lose some, at
least, of it's effect especially when it is rcmem'
bered that his support Of Mr.. Goodo was so
lukewarm, and was attended win such explain
atoms that it was rather disadvantage.

RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENT.-The
Secretary of the Treasury has instructed u s.
assistant treasurers that they can pay ont stand.
ard silver dollars to all parties wishing to dis
burse them on government pay rolls. He has
also notified national bank depostsries that
standard silver dollars will be cent them free of
charge, to be paid out in lieu of one md two
dollar bills. It ia believed that large amount
of silver dollars will be used for the movement
of crops this season, and that this taken in con-
nection with the importation of gold from
Europe. which is predicted will commence
earlier in the year than usual. will entirely
wipe out the present low premium on gold and
give the country practical specie resumption.

FUN AT A WEDDING.-We remem-
Der attending wedding where the
brides refinement was tuned to SO
high pitch that when the minister
propounded the usual question, "will
you take this man to be your hus-
band ?'' etc, she meel5ly replied, ~
yoaS please" Only two months later,
upon being questioned whether she
was happy, the answer came: "4ou
bet I am" Such are the sad cha nges
brought on by married life !! Who
has not known the young bride, SO
delicate, 50 fraif and angelic that she
was hardly able to Gift her eye
brows, but who, in the brief period
of one year, had acquired the power
and art of propelling u ten-pound
dat-iron towards her husban d's head
with a velocity and painful accuracy
only equaled by his skill in lodging
it. For just such "mishaps" as are
caused by hat-irons, as well as for all
