The Way They DO in Congress.


On Saturday when "Big English "
saw that it was going to be a lonesome
day for the boot. blacks, he set his head
to work to devise something to break
the monotony. About 10 o'clock he
got a number of boys into the alley be-
tween the Postoflice and organized the
"Forty- y-Fifth Congress" " Big English
is regular reader of the daily papers,
and he is great organizer. 1t took him
but fifteen minutes to get the " House "
and "Senate" running so smoothly that
lawyers and others looked down from
the windows with great interest.
"Who's liar?' yelled white headed
boy as he jumped up.
ooh, dry up" shouted Sixth Ward
Tom.
"Put him out-he was in the rebel
armyW called boy from Grand River
avenue.
"Some one clubbed my dog fifteen
years ago, and can never forgive him, "
hovled Strawberry Bob.
"Git out the records and less see who
was loyal" put in Kings boy.
"Big English" raped on his box to
restore order, but King Tommy threw
up his hat and yelled 81 moves for the
aizes and the nozes."
He can't gag me-" shouted lathy
boy from Windsor.
"Less have a salary grab" piped a
Congress street boy.
"The peepul won't stand" whooped
another.
"Hain't we the peepul?" demanded a
boy on the railing.
"Are we one country" asked the
Speaker as he rose up.
4" are, but you hain't" yelled Nickty
Nick.
doesn't one flag float for us all"
continued the Speaker,
"It does about tax Iime," screamed
cross-eyed youth from Sprngwells.
Somebody kicked the honorable
Speaker. He then struck the honorable
gentleman from Wisconsin, smashed at
the honorable gentleman from Georgia,
and his hair stood up and coat tails
stood cut. When the row had quieted
down the honorable Speaker remarked {:
"It was pretty good for the first time,
though you didn't abuse each other
enough"

Newspaper Libel Suits.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch referring
to the dismissal of the $25, 700 suit in
stituted against it by Madame Carlotta
Patti, for alleged defamation of char
acter, truthfully'says:
Now that the suit is ended, and the
course of this paper is viudicated 10 the
uttermost, the Post Dispatch is willing
to acknowledge that the original publi-
cation of the article, from the Leaven.
worth Times was a mistake, and had
Madame Patti, instead of rushing into
useless litigation, requested correction,
it would have been made at once. She
chose, however, to seek redress else
where, and forced fight upon this
paper which was taken up most unwil-
lingly. Strictly and only as a measure
of self-defence were the Leavenworth
deposition taken, and the facts proved 10
be as published. No reputable news
paper will permit an injustice to be
done to anyone in its columns, and If
the persons who find themselves ag-
grieved would state their wrongs frankly
to the newspaper which they imagine il
trying to injure them, the utmost pos
sible reparation would invariably be
made. In majority of cases the dam
age suits for libel have degeperated into
legalized blackmail; and those wbo In
agine themselves injured by neyspaper
will find themselves better Oh, both In
honor and money, II they accept volun-
tary correction before they rush to the
courts for vindicatiou.

The Young Lady Who Didn't Like John
Gilpin.

from Mr.. James payn's "Sham Admiration in Lcra-
tuIe," in the Nineteenth Ccnimy.l
"Until Caldecotts charming illustra-
ti0ns of it made me laugh so much" "
said a young lady to me the other day,
81 confess though | know it's very
stupid of mel never saw much fun in
John Gilpin." She evidently expected
a reproof, and when | whispered in her
ear, "Nor J." her lovely features as
sumed look of positive enfranchise-
ment. "But am | rightY she inquired.
"You are certainly right, my dear young
lady," said ] "not to pretend admiration
where you don't feel it; as to liking
John Gilpin, that is matter of taste.
1t has, of course, simplicity to recon-
mend it; but in my own case, though
Pm fond of fun, it has never evoked a
smile. 1t has always seemed to me like
one of Mr.. Joe Miller's stories put into
tedious verse;" really almost thought
land hoped) that that young lady would
have kissed me. "Papa always says it
is free country" she exclaimed, "but
| never felt it to be the case before this
moment" For years this beautiful
and accomplished creature had locked
this awful secret in her innocent breast
that she didn't see much fun in John
Gilpin. "You have given me courage" ]"
she said, "to confess something else.
Mr.. Caldecott has Just been illustrating
in the same charming manner Gold
smiths Elegy on Mad Dogs, and-I'm
very sorry--but never laughed at that
before, either. | have pretended to
laugh, you know" she added, hastily
and apologetically, Hundreds of times"
81 don't doubt it," / replied; "this is
not such Il free country as your father
supposes." "But am | ght?" 81 say
nothing about right" l answered, "ex-
cept that everybody has right to his
own opinion. For my part, however, l
think the Mad Dog better than John
Gilpin only because it is shorter"
Whether was wrong or right III the
matter is of no consequence, even to my
SELF the affection and gratitude of that
lung creature would more than repay
me for much greater mistake, if mis-
take it il. She protests that | have
iioui Inv
since talked to me about all sorts of au-
thors, from Sir Philip Sidney to Wash
ington Irving, in way that would make
some peoples blood run cold; but it
has no such effect upon me-quite the
reverse. OF Irving she naively remarks
that his strokes of humor seem to her
to owe much of their success to the
rarity of their occurrence; the flashes
of fun are spread over pages of dullness,
which enhance them, just as dark
night is propitious to fireworks, or the
atmosphere Of the House of Commons,
or court of law, to joke. She is often
in error, no doubt, but how bright and
wholesome such talk is, as compared
with the platitudes and common places
which one hears on all sides in connec-
ton with literature!

Social Errors.

A correspondent writing in the Sunny
South, OF Atlanta, Ga, says: We press
our friends TO come to zee us; we en-.
treat them to remain longer, and we are
vexed in our hearts if they take us at
our word. 1t has become a matter OF
course to invite people whom you do
not want and tc beg them to stay when
you are anxious to have them go. One
should think twice before accepting
hospitality, and should always be care,
fui not to wear out his welcome. IT
seems an intuitive social law to wei.
come the coming and speed the parting
guest. No host or hostess likes the
visitor, however pleasant, who makes
the time of his stay linked sweetness
long drawn out. Yet we find plenty OF
people, otherwise sensible, who commit
this error. A few instances come To
our pens end this moment. A young
lady we knew very well was visiting
some friends in town, and on leaving
invited two of her girl companions tc
accompany her home. At the train
they were joined by two young gentle
men who came to say goodbye and tc
see them off. In the warmth and
thoughtlessness of her heart, the girl
invited them also to pay her visit
and to the surprise of all the invitation
was accepted. The train moved of
with the entire party; the young gen
tlemen saying they would return by the
next down train. One of them did
the other stayed at the farmhouse sew
eral days. The weather was bitterly
cold, servants were few ard the heads
of the house were old people, one of
them an invalid. 1t was no great mat
ter of regret to any one when at last he
announced his intention of going. The
carriage was ordered TO drive him the
twelve miles of miserable muddy road
that lay between the farmhouse and
the station; he said goodbye and drove
away. The yonng ladies cheerfully
dressed themselves to receive other
company when, rs they sat by the fire,
they heard the sound of wheels, and
presently who should walk in but the
two weeks bore. He came in bowling
and blushed cOnfusedly as he saw the
cold, surprised looks of the young
ladies. One would think this would
have shown him he had worn out his
welcome, but be taxed the hospitality
of the farmhouse another week.
More discerning and sensible was a
girl friend of mine who was visiting
elegant friends in the city. They were
very kind and attentive, and at the
expiration cf her visit they pressed her
so warmly to remain longer that she
consented; but no sooner had she so
decided, then her sensitive perception
felt change in the social thermometer.
Hospitality fell below blood heat-the
warmth of goodwill diminished; so she
quietly packed her trunk that night,
ordered carriage next morning, beg
ged her friends not to consider her vacil'
lating, and IN spite of their protesta-
tions, bade them an aflectionate good
bye, and departed. The little expert.
ence taught her lesson and went to
the formation of firm character.
