vulgar scene in the play, and it is to be
hoped that Mr. Sargent will change the
name Of the comedy and proceed to succeed
with that rapidity which his merit de-
serves. .: H.
Heard at the Bismarck End.
The telephone between Bismarck and
Washington worked better last Saturday
and the following was heard at the Bis
marck end, the dashes representing the
Washington end of the conversation:
Yes, this is Bismarck.
,Whats Washingtone All right, go
ahead.
Yes, tell us about Bragg's prospects.
Why, for the postmastership, of course.
Yes!
Yes!! Name was sent up last Monday!
Go ahead.
What did you say about Slattery? Good
man, of course he's good
Oh; that wa. Kelly talking over the st.
Paul wire, was it?
Well, 60 ahead, Washington.
Bragg's name was taken to the presidents
desk; you say?
Great heavens! You don't say Covered
with Halleran petitions, eh?
Well, swear.
Balm? Yes, Balm is his name.
Bain's papers piled on top of them and
What?
Aha! Carlisle talking with the president
and Balm stock raising.
Don't know what the matter is; why?
You got a telegram from Bragg, you
say?
Dated where?
All, yes; Sterling.
I might have known, of course. He went
to Sterling this evening. Said he was 60
ing to look at his farm.
Yes, he's pretty sly. His opponents are
all at home and dare not telegraph from
here.
What's that he makes mistake in?
In stating that he is cousin to General
Bragg of Wisconsin? Why, didn't the gen.
eral say ne loved Cleveland for the enemies
he had made?
That's just the trouble? How do you ex
plain it.?
Oh, 1 see Every time Bragg's name is
mentioned the president tries to make ar
enemy. Ha, ha, ha-
What?
Yes, indeed, that is serious joke.
How was he dressed?
Yes; Was his right shoulder higher than
the left?
Little palmer, please.
Said the candidates were all recruits
That must be Denny Hannifin. What is
he doing?
Says, the president isn't playing cards to
suit him? Yes, that's Denny.
Colonel Thompson, eh? What is he
doing.
Good for the colonel. Well, the colone
was always popular among the ladies.
Impossible!
Several of the senators jealous because
the colonel is a favorite among their wives
you say.
What? Holy smoke! Send the colonel
home. Surely, you must be mistaken
Tell him his friends will never believe the
report and are ready to welcome him home.
Well, goodnight
What's that? A human phenomenon in
the city? Who says he's from Dakota
What do you mean?
He can't get up the white house stairs !
Come now; no "joshing." Explain.
Slips and slides to the bottom, whenever
he attempts to climb? That's strange
can't you catch him and help him?
Slides through your hands having a
pretty hard time of it, is he?
Indeed? Says his name is Maratta ?
Perhaps you are right.
Good night. Call us up if postmaster is
appointed! Ta-ta.
