Young Hen in Congress.

Tie present House contains
an uuusaaHy large number Of
yoang ters. The palm IL this
direction is carried off by Rich
ard G. Frost, Of St. Lonis, who
only completed his 28th year last
month, and who first ran for
Congress in 1876, failing Of an
election then, when he was under
twenty-five. Taylor of the First
Tennessee District, the young
lawyer who has the reputation
of having fddIed his way into
the House, carrying Republi-
can District by sheer folce Of
popularity among the noun
taineers of East Tennessee, will
not be thirty until next July, and
Acklen, Of Louisiana, is only u
couple of months his senior,
while Speer, of Georgia, is out
little over thirty-one. Frost is a
very boyish- looking fellow in the
light business suit which he
usually wears, and it would not
be at all strange if he is some
times mis- AIKEN for one Of the
pages by a colleague, as lie not
unfrequently is by spectators.
6peer looks SO young that no.
body who should see him outside
his seat would suppose he Was
member of Congress. Indeed,
little incident which occurred
in a horse-car going up Capitol
Hill, recently, shows that not all
his fellow members yet Know him
as a laW-maker. A scholarly
representiye from Ohio, Of nearly
twice his years, fell into CONVEX
sation with him, but they had
not talked long before The Vest
erner, apparently suspectinc that
he was being interviewed "nnbe-
knownst," remarked inquiripg',,
"You're a journalist, aren't YOU ?"
His surprise may be imagined
when theyouug man replied: mo

Drawing StraWs for a Girl.

A correspondent writing9.from
Waco, Texas. relates the follow
ing peculiar incident Two
young men i'll the western part
of this county, enamored of the
same young lady, who seemed
to look with equal favor on both,
resolved to settle.their claim to
her by fighting duel. Al SUI
rise, with their seconds all heav-
lily armed with six shooters, they
met on the bank Of The creek.
The principals were placed, but
the seconds got together and
proposed that instead Of fighting
they draw straws for the girl, the
loser to leave the country. L
was agreed to. and the fortunate
lover was married last night.

Grant. On the Monday follow
inc the General'a arrival here it
will be remembered that Nc
Vicker's Theater was beautifully
decorated in honor of Grants
visit to the opera. The private
box the OF Manager was set apart
for the distinguished guest, and
connecting herewith was smok-
ing room where between the acts
the General enjoyed his fayorlte
cigar. The opera was Max
Maretzek's new production Of
"Sleepy Hollow" and as it was
the Initial performance all con-
cerned We're particularly anxious
for its success. When the opera
was partially over, and while
Grant was putting away in the
smoking room waiting for the
rise Of the curtain, McVicker
thought he would get an express
sion of opinion from his guest
regarding the merits of the pro-
duction. 'sHe seems to talk easy
enough" said Mack to himself,
"I'll see what he thinks of the
piece, anyway" So in his quiet
way he sauntered up to Grant
and said:
General, how do you like the
opera?"
"Grant slowly took his cigar
from his mouth and blew away a
cloud Of smoke. "Well," he re-
piled, slowly, ''if that fellow gets
the girl and the two thousand
dollars it is all right"
Il was satisfied" says Nc

kept the run Of the story, but /
