Regular correspondence }

| Irregular correspondence
| WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. 81, 1882.
Nearly two months have elapsed since the
opening of the 47th Congress, and, while over
two thousand bills have been introduced 10
obllvion), and much work accomplished in
committee, but little legislative work has been
completed The fertilization bill has been
passed by the house, and bill for the relief OF
the widow Of Abraham Lincoln has been pass
ed by both the house and the senate. The
tariff question has been discussed to a limited
extent in the senate, and a bill, referring the
subject OF revision to special committee, has
been passed, but the indications are that the
house will not pass the bill referring tle tariff
question to special committee outsid6Vf con-
gress. The opponents of the bill IN the house
argue that a reference of this subject to com.
mltec would be productive of great amount,
of trouble and delay. The report OF the spec
ial committee could not be made before next
January, or only two months before the legal
termination of the 47th congress, on the 4th of
March, 1888 The present congress, would,
therefore, have only two months to consider
the matter; two months are, necessarily, so
crowded with work on appropriation bills,
that 1t is frequently the custom to hold night
and Sunday sessions during the final days Of
the short term The subject will be discussed
this week in the house, bu, 1t cannot be tore
told how it will DC settled.
a., 10 tl,.,,,
cancy on the Supreme Bench will be sent to
the senate early this week. Judge Blatchford,
of New York, and Judge Cooley, of Michigan,
are both mentioned for the place, as is also
the present secretary of the navy, Judge Hunt
The last named gentleman is urged by his
friends because OF his acquaintance with the
Spanish and French laws that prevailed in
Louisiana and New Mexico IN the early his.
tory of those states and territories and still
has much to do with the tenure and transfer
of landed property. There are two Justices on
the Supreme Bench who came nomnally from
the south, but Justice Harlan is from the least
lucky; and Justice Woods, although residing
in Georgia at the time OF his appointment, Isl
really from OHIO
1t is still believed by many here that ex-Sen.
ator Sergeant will be made secretary of the in.
terror, but the friends Of the present secretary
insist that he can retain the place il he wishes
to do so.
1t is evident that Mr. Blame although mol
longer an active participant in either the leg
lslatlve or executive branches of the govern
ment, Is by no means out of politics. He has
published long vlndication of his South
American policy, and, after comparing it with
that which has been adopted by the present
secretary OF state a majority of Americans, II
think, will be disposed TO agree that Mr..
Blaine had adopted the more manly and justat
titude that a powerful nation should assume
between conquered and dlspolled people and
the rapacious victors.

THE SAND MAN.

There's funny old fellow, 90 I heard say,
Who comes along At the close Of day.
With . big. big bag on his shoulders hung,
And shadow mantle about him hung.
Nov the funniest part Of the story, dears,
IL this that nobody ever hears
The old mans footsteps, so quiet is he,
And his queer old self nobody can see.
Bat what do you think he comes TO do,
o little ones, gray.eycd, brown-eyed or biue'
lie sprinkles sand on your eyelids white
As soon as It's time TO say good night,
And the dear little eyes. 50 heavy they grow
They droop and at last close tight, you must know
And, wrapping his mantle around you fast,
lie carries you oi 10 dream at last.
Would you know the name Of this wonderful man
Ask nurse to tell you II she can.
Long ago, my darlings. when I, like you,
Was golden haired child, with eyes Of blue,
lie came TO me with the twilight gray
And made me weary at last Of play,
Just ~ he comes 20 my own little one
Even now. when the long. long day is done.

THE UGLIEsT MAN.

In describing the appearance of the
counsel in the Star route cases, now on
trial in Washington, the correspondent
OF the Courier /oHynai says of the At
torncy-General Blu, the head and front
Of the trial, and the queerest. most in
describahle individual you will NEE;
within years trial is Benjamin II.
Brewster, the brusqued and burned At
,orney General. His whole face from
lis eyes down is cicatrix. He was hor-
ribly burned when five-year-o child
in attempting TO rescue his little sister
from the flames, and he is as hideously
ugly Is any ''false face" or caricature
you ever rested your eyes upon. He is
the observer of all observers. His cos
tune contributes TO the curiousness of
the character before you. He appears
in court dressed in patent leather pumps,
with white gaiter tops and straps, laven-
der pants, a double breasted buff vest, 4
turtle green ca,away coat, blue. white
dotted silk scarf, diamond pin and tall,
pointed collar, the ends of which pro-
ject out and upward like sleigh-runners.
Instead of cuffs he wears lace ruiiies
about his soft, small white hands. Each
hand supported handsome rings. Atiny
gold watch chain sweeps around in a
crescent across his waistcoat front, and
he dries his weeping eyes with snow
white lace kerchief. His tall, old fash
ioned, yellowish beaver hat, has fur on
it longer than that of maltese cat. He
drives around in a white and yellow
coach, emblazoned with his coat of arms.
These and a bunch of other eccentrici-
ties and idiosyncracies make up one OF

Attorney-G General OF the United States.
He is OF good height, witha well poised
and phrenologically-rounded head. His
arguments are as clean cut and trenchani
as the cicle OF a Damascus blade in a
giants hand. His language is chas,e
and clear, and cuts to the marrow. His
"insulting" ugliness reminds me Of 4
speech Tom Marshall made, when under
the influence of liquor, to man whose
wife he disliked. Said the Woodford
orator: "Bill, your wife is a id ugly
woman" "well, replied Bill, flushing
up, "that is her privilege" eyes,
replied Tom, 'but she abuses the privi'
lege." And it looks that way in Brews
ter's case. He is said, however, to bs
a charming man in conversation and il
the social circle.
