4 Strange PrcSenIiment.

On the morning of the day before his
death, it is said, the late Marshall jew
ell awoke from sound sleep and at
once asked what was the matter at the
home of VIM. f. Dodge. \ telegram
had Just been received by Mr.. JEWELS
family announcing the death of Mr..
Dodge, but it was not thought best to
let Mr.. Jewell know it, so he was told
that all was well there. He would not
believe them. Something had hap
pened, he said: some great atlliction
had Overtaken the family. Insisting
upon this, and refusing to accept his
tamily,s denials, he ut length induced
them to telegraph to New York to see
what was the matter. But Mrs. jew
ell so worded the telegram as to in
Struct those who received it to answer
that everything was all right. When
that answer came they told Mr.. Jewell,
who refused to believe it, and asked to
see the message itself. This request
being granted, and having the ocular
proof before his eyes, in the shape of
an unmistakabIe telegraph message, he
obviously remarked "Well, it does
seem to be so but it is very strange !;
know there is something the matter,
that something serious has happened
in Mr.. DOdge's house in New York"
And that impression he retained, until
soon afterward, he, too, ended his
earthly life New York Tribune.

smoking in Congress.

Rev DR. X. L. Stanton in New York Evangelist /
But about manners. Go into either
branch of Congress and watch things
for an hour. Enter the chamber of the
House. The first thing that greets YOU
is the smoking nuisance If You take
Il vote of your senses, Il majority will
decide the question. You see it, you
smell it, You taste it, You touch it, and
you even hear it i'll the explosion of the
match which lights the cigar. See the
VI. &. from Kansas, clergyman and
the son of clergyman, sitting at his
desk or walking the aisle, smoking and
putting. And why should not he. Il
young member, smoke, when older
members (and scores of them) indulge
the habit while engaged in the bust
ness of the House.
1t would he bad enough if this habit
and its vile effects were confined to the
House floor, but as the smoke curls up
To the gallery it meets the senses of
ladies and gentlemen. Many of them
are offended at it; some through dis
gust that VI. C.S, who are supposed to

looked in upon Congress OF as "a pos

1t was not always 50. OF this | am
quite sure. My habit OF close observa-
ton of men and things, and my knowl-
edge of Washington life for more than
"a quarter of century, enables me to
assert positively that smoking by mem
bers of Congress in either branch while
in session is an innovation which has
crept in of late years. For few years
past have been very little in Wash

the new code of manners was estab

hearts.
