THE MARCH OF REVOLUTION.

The Democratic majority of the House of
Representatives is just now presenting n
very singular spectacle. 1t has been for
two days iilbustering to prevent progress
with the public business. The majority of
no other Congress since the establishment
of this Government has even been known to
resort to such desperate tricks and perform
ances rs characterize the present Congress.
Nearly every move and attitude on their
part appeals to be strongly marked with
revolution, and the belief is obtaining in n
remarkable degree that it turks every
where with so much strength that it is an
irrepressible factor in every movement
which the majority makes. The attempts
to uuseat WAsHBURN and KELLOGG
are as revolutionary as the firing
upon Sumter, only in diff
fercnt shape. So, also, was the attempt
to capture the State of Maine by fraud, as
well as the stealing of States in the South
by bulldozing, fraudulent voting and the
counting out of honest majorities. All
these things are in the interest of revolu-
ton, aud the end is not yet. The culmina-
tion will come during the next Presidential
election, and the people are preparing lorit.

peculiarly the case in the Senate of the

half a dozen, and perhaps more, of these
Senators have fastened their own sons, to
say nothing of their other relations, upon

the blessed baby, but the mothcr-in.law,
three aunts and male cousin; also three
of the female neighbors. The baby was ly-
ing in its mothers lap with its eyes closed
and breathing hard. As it was of the mas
culine gender, this was indicative of its be-
ing regular snOrer when it grew to be q
man, So our candidate thought as he en-
tered the room, and, without ado, kissed
the baby, exclaiming, "Whnt a lovely child !"
There was little shrek or two, then a
giggle, and the candidate left but before he
had closed the door behind him he heard
one of the females exclaiming: "If that
darned fool is going to kiss all the babies
around here Wen have the measles in
every family" But the gubernatorial as
pirant kissed no more; he had heard enough,
and his family physician consulted with
him daily for one month subsequently.
