Why Sir. Eaton 1. Uuhnnpy.

WASHINGTON, January 1.-Some new
cases OF radical discomfort with Speaker
Carlisle's committees have been discovered.
Eaton, Of Connecticut, for instance, is re-
ported TO be very much dissatisfied with
his assignment as chairman OF the commit.
lee on tho Election Of President. This com.
mittee, properly considered, ought to be
the mos. important in the House. It was
created Immediately after the presidential
complication OF 1876, aud it was hoped thst
before another presidential election it
would have Devised some plan which
would prevent the recurrence OF The dau-
gers Of that period. But the committee
has not been abba 10 accomplish anything,
and it is regarded as minor committee.
Mr.. Eaton, having been Il U. S. Sena.
tor, expected much mere important posi-.
ton; but he was q very earneBt advocate OF
Randall, and in the campaign declared
that Carlisles tariff policy would ruin the
prospects OF the Democratic party. 1t is
to Eaton that the statement is attributed,
I'VE have elected Speaker, and Lost the
presidency" This assignment Of Eaton
is therefore regarded as a punishment.

WASHINGTON, d. G., January l.-There

going to be beaten again in their efforts TO

They are goingat it in the old way--with a
lobby-and the sane tactics that sounded
the war cry against them in the Senate last
Congress will probably defeat them this
time. They are, to be sure, employing a
little higher talent as lobbyists than last
year, but ,hs fact that they are lobbying
ior their bill with experienced men viii
probably beat il. II they coula be content
to let the bill 80 before Congress on i0
merits, with ie% juIicious friends from
the whisky producing States on the floor of
the House aud Senate to explain its merits
and engineer it-over the dangerous shoals,
the chances are that it would ppss. But

Of the bill change to raise the cry Of

by tho newspapers generally. It is now
several months since that publication.

How Little Germnu Geta AWAY with

How Llttle Germhn Geta away With
Twenty Cigars II Day.
srmSGrfELD, O., January IA German
boy years ofage lives with his father who
keepB saloon on East Main street. Yes.
terday the little fellow was seen putting
away at a huge black cigar, with all the
nonchalance OF the most habitual smoker.
The little boys father, John Spaugan.
berger, seemed proud OF his sons accom-
plishment, and stated the following story:
when the boy was m infant IA months
old, a cigar WAS given him in fun by one OF
the customers in the saloon. Instead o.
growing sick and dropping il, the little
fellow seemed to enjoy il, smoking it 10 the
very end. From that first cigar bis taste
for smoking commenced. The taste SEEM
cd TO take such hold on his baby's appe.
tite, that he WAS soon smoking ono cigar
alter another until he reached the appHll-
ing number Of twenty per day. Though
we could see no evil eliec. from the uss Of
the weed, We grew alarmed and called u
physician, who made minute examina.
tiou, and, finding no evil results from the
nee oi the tobacco, told US that the habit
would do the child no harm. Reassurtd
by this statement, we allowed free rein 10
our child's appetite. and he has been
habitual smoker from lat day 10 this"
The boy is now in kilt suits and will be
years old Oh the eth Of next February.
His habit attracts unhounded amusement
and admiration from the patrons OF his
fathers saloon, and many are the cigars
which fall to his ahare from customere, who
desire to see him smoke. For the past few
months he has only averaged from ten to
twelve cigars per day, and smokes slower,
aud seema to enjoy it hugely. His broth:
ers and sisters show not the least disposl.
ton toward tobacco, ug. 50'r ].

CiSclSsArI, O., January t.-fiaifa dozen
muscular fellows in chains were waiting
to-day at the Grand Central Passenger Sta.
ton for the train for the North. They had
been convicted OF Ku.klux outragea In
Georgia, and were bound for the Auburn
IN. Y. )penitentiary. The principal one Of
the group, ]. NJ. yarbrough, was approach
and asked 1.-The had any objections to talk.
Ing to u newspaper man. Not a bit"
said he. II amt ashamed Of what I've
done, and would like to tell It 30 you peo.
pie up here may understand the case. You
zee the bill against us said 'Ku.kluxin,'
but It was nothing OF the kind. One night
my brother and some neighbors' boys were
out on the road going home With the girls.
They met a young mulatto named Cad
Bush, who brushed against the eirl. Neil
WAS with them,and Neil asked what he did
that for. The nigger got sassy said he was q
taxpayer, worked on the roads, and had a
right TO walk on 'em. The boys went that
night with their hickories and dressed him
up right smart-no light dressin', but one
he could remember-and all on account OF
the girl, and not on account oi politics, as
they tried to make out.
"After that an old niger, relative Of
Bush, said he was going TO kill me on
sight, and the night OF July q we started
out 10 hunt him, and went frst to the
cabin Of man named Cook, whar We
knew he hung out most oil the time. We
knocked on edoor and Cook says, who's
tharT told him we had nothin' against
him, but we just wanted to see il 80 and so
war in thar, and he said, NO. We said,
That's all right, but Just open the door ana
lot us see.' lie wouldn't do II, 80 We
opened up for him and gave him nine
licks. Then we went over to Barry Sau.
delson's, who refused to open the door.
We pried on' the fss!enin's and Barry
rushed out with an ak. We. didn't know
it WAS him, and one OF our boys shot at
him several iimea, and finally hit him, and
that's what We call ku K!uxin', and that's
all we're here ior."
"What would you have done if you had
found your man ?"
"Well, reckon we'd thrasled him
good. We wouldn't killed him. We
never kill anybody, but Wa do lick niger
once in while unless they walk the line
pretty Straight. 1 don't think I'll lick an
Dther one il ever get out. Itse1pensive.
