Tales of the Lobby.

The palny days of the Washing
ton lobby, when Bill King and Sam
Ward ruled with high hand, have
gone. The only prospect for re-
turn of something like those times
is in bitter fight being had over
the various canal projects before
Congress. The lobby is on hands,
though, and Congressman has to
fairly fight his way out of the main
entrance down through the crowd of
men who lie in wait for a victim,
like Sehus at railroad depot. But
the lobbyists don't seem to have any
money. They are heavy on prom
ises and have plenty of chin, but no
tin. Bob Ingersoll is the boss of the
third house this year, and he is as
slick and shrewd in his manipula-
tions as he is wicked. Conkling de-
tests Ingersoll, but other Senators,
who should know better, Jump ev-
cry time he snaps his fingers. He
is retained in no particular interest,
but is on hand for every job that
promises dollar. John Roach's

THE DREAMS OF YOUTH.

built Inc a vessel long years ago,
And fitted it out like the galleys Of old
Its sails were as white as the fresh-fallen
snow,
And its bows were resplendent with Grim
son and gold
Its bulwarlss were firm, and its mast strong
and tail,
And gay colored pennon on high was
spread
The beauty Of Youth lent charm to il all
And an image of hope was its proud figuie-
head
launched i; one morn in the spring Of
the year,
When the breezes were low, and the sun
beams were bright;
And l, in the pride OF my youth, had no
fear,
of the strength OF the wares, or the gloom
Of the night,
So dreamed of the riches my galley would
bring.
From the lands where 40 bark had been
ever before.
Bu, the summer passed by, and spring wore
round 10 spring,
And my vessel returned not, alas, to the
shore
At lcas,h ono darl, autumn it came back
me,
But its nas;s were all broken, its bows
were bare:
lis bulwarss were covered with growth of
the sea,
And the figure of hope was 20 longer
there,
While it brought me for freight the drift
of the wave,
The sea foam and weeds that had lain in
it long;
And mournfally sighed as | gazed on
the grave,
OF the dreams that were bright when life's
heartbeat was strong.
