thing more material, self conscious, if not
selfish, than Its fines, paragraphs, could not

IL also an occasion for " society,""
MY dear, do you know that Senator
- Is going to make a speech on the
hottentot question? You must 90. Every
body will be therew cried Mrs. Gush TO
Mrs Mush.
Whereupon both ladies take out their
best eonnets and freshest gloves, essay their
fur-lIned mantles, and proceed ip court at
tire to wrestle with the doorkeeper Of the
Senate gallery for a seat. Many other
Mrs Gushes and Mrs Mu.hes do likewise :;
30 many, indeed, that hundreds go away
without getting . seat, or even a glance at
the great defender Of the HottentOts, with
IN. He meanwhile il having the best of
times, posing himself before galleries, piled
chiefly with lovely women, amid the autter
OF fans, the fragrance Of flowers, the subtle
incense of sdmiring attention. What if he
does behold just before him the back of his
enemy, and in the distance a dim consult
uency, and the menace of induring fact
striking out Of the past All the same this
moment he has his say, his audience, his
occasion, and the hope born Of it shining
on his future.
This is shout the way it was when Mr..
Bl'ine spoke in the Senate last Wednesday.
The audience was just what the Capitol
dwayD brings forth. No amount of stress
or struggle could make the galleries
large enough to hold it therefore, with
many cries OF discontenf, it filtered back
into the corridors and STREETS. 1t was
expected that Thurman would answer
Blaine, that Lamar would re-enforce Thur
man, that great and irrepressible "row
would fill the Senate, and iced the galleries
With inexPrsssible delight Ther.fo the
House OF Representatives OVERLOOKED the
Moor OF the Senate, and the galleries were
packed With fair partisans Of the North
and the South and OF the several senator's
The average women is always . partisan.
II nature did not make her one, the limita-
tiops Of her life and her scope Of vision do.
Thus no senator il 40 forlornly lone that
come one woman does not send flowers to
his desk or applaud him from the gallery
when he speaks in the Senate Some have
hosn of enthusiastic followers, whose devo.
ton is never silent on gallery or street. Mrs
Gush and Mrs. Much never fail to be pre-
sent. and irrepres-ibie. l am not sure
whether it was Mrs Gush or Mrs. Mush
Who, at the closed of Mr.. Blsine's quota
