IT it notable fact that Washburn has
taken his man, Charley johnson, with him
to spend the winter in Washington. John
son was the secretary of Washburn's COM
mittee in 1878, and through him large
portion of the bribery was committed which
gave Washburn his seat Transplanting
this go-between corruptionist to Washing
ton gives color to the report that Washburn
proposes to try to use money in Congress to
retain his purchased seat. Washburn Ger.
tainly has no honest motive in taking Char
Icy johnson to Washington with him. 1t
looks as though he was alarmed and en-
couraged by his successful use of money in
Minnesota, is inclined to continue the

Mr.. WArTERsoN says that Grant did not re-

with the General, for offering to lead 1901 600
stalwart Democrats to Washington to seat Til

Henry, between the imperturbable puffs Of his
cigar, if he had ever heard of Fort Lafayette.-

If Grant made such remark he would no

evidently forgotten that the days when men

in the quasi endorsement given to the banks

4 Matrimonial Mash and a Ministerial
Clash.
La Crosse Democrat
On Wednesday evening DR.. L. NJ. A. Roy,
of St. Paul, was united in marriage to Mrs.
Flora Simonton, by Rev. Father Sohwebach,
of st. Mary's church. The ceremony took
place at the residence of the BRIDES father,
Mr.. Andrew Quinn, on Fifth street. Owing
to slight misunderstanding or rather over
sight on the part of the high contracting
parties, circumstance happened which but
for the good sense of all concerned might
have seriously marred the pleasures of the
occasion. Mr.. Quinn naturally took upon
himself the not very arduous task of secdfe
ing the services of minister to tie the
knot, kiss the bride and pocket the fee. Fol-
lowing his inclinations he waited on Rev.
Garrette and requested him to show up at the
appointed time. Meantime DR.. Roy arrived
from st. Paul, and more as means of sat-
isfying the wishes of his relatives, who are
devout Catholics, than for any personal in
terest or choice in the matter, he proceeded
to engage the Rev. Father Schwebach to
of6ciate. At the appointed time the priest
and the protestant met beneath the parental
roof of the bride elect. Now Mr.. Quinn is
neither skeptic nor bigot, but q sort Of
an equipoised betwixity, and he concluded
that the doctor should have his way in the
matter. He waited on Brother Garrette,
and volunteered to enlist the services of Mrs.
Quinn and get married himself if it would
serve to relieve that gentleman from the
embarrassment of his situation. Nothing
of the kind was required, however, and in
the joyfulness of the occasion, all religious
distinctions were forgotten and the affair
terminated with hearty Godspeed to the
bride and groom from all present, as they
took their departure on the 1890 train for
their st. Paul home. - '.'.a -z...9=r,

A Fable.
THE HEAD AND THE MEMBERS.

Once upon time a dissentioH
arose between the several members
of the body. It originated in the
Rig Toe. 1t complained of corn,
that kept up a continual ache, in
season and out of season. The dis
turbance spread to the other toes,
and finally to the foot, which be-
came 80 extremely sensitive as to
feel every chill that pervaded the
atmosphere. Then the ANGLES and
Knees became affected, and real or
imaginary rheumatic pains assailed
the very bones and marrow of their
existence.
A caucus of the members of the
body was now held, to determine,
if possible, the cause of the difficult
ty. At this the Big Toe presided,
and listened patiently to all the ar
guments pro and con. After much
discussion in was decided that the
Head was to blame for all the
pains and disorders of the physical
system. Had it not carried itself
aloft and looked down upon the
other members? Had it not issued
unchallenged its lordly edicts for
the preservation OF the body, and
was it not solely responsible for the
fungus growth that panied and har-
raised Big Toe? Indeed was it not
highly probable that the corn was
but an emmissary from the Head 10
reduce to still further humiliation,
one who had hitherto occupied his
humble sphere in life patiently and
satisfactorily? 1t was indeed plain
that the Head was setting up the
airs of the autocrat, and might at
any time declare its independence of
the body, or still worse, assume all
the responsibilities of the animal
functions, and reduce the members
to absolute degradation. Little Toe
thereupon made a motion, which
was seconded by the Leg, to there
after dispense with the use of the
Head, and the Arm, after putting the
question, by graceful gesture, de-
clared it carried.
So the Head, which had been q
silent spectator Of. the strife, bowed
low in deep humiliation and was
Silent, while the body pursued it's
course without volition, or control
ing force. The way being rough,
and the body without Eyes, or Eahi
or Brain, to guide it's conrso, sooh
fell into a ditch, and for the want of
volition, lay prone in the dust. How
long it thus remained the chronicler
does not state, but when vsnomous
insects and Shiny reptiles began to
crawl over the flesh, the members
were sorely alarmed. Another cau-
Gus was held. Aid was sought.
Each member tried with might and
main to resurrect the body, but it
still lay covered with the ooze Of the
soil. At last, when all effort seemed
vain. the despised and condemned
Head came to the rescue. "Arise!"
it said, and the life-blood again
danced through its customary chan
nels, the Brain telegraphed the
watchword to each station, and the
body arose, and order and harmony
was restored to the physical struct-
ure. The Head again assumes its
allotted functions. only remarking
by way of exhortation, Remember,
when you build up, do not pull down.
Let us each fill the station nature
has assigned to us and continually
bear in mind that we are mutually
dependent upon each other"
