a Matter of cards.

Tho attention OF the Doorkeeper Of the
House has been called to practice OF his sub
ordinates, who carry cards to the Members
from callers, which Is very wrong, says the
Washington correspondent OF tho Arkansas
gazette. Strangers, upon advancing to any OF
the i've entrances 20 the floor of the House
observe placards stating that cards are written
ut the stand near the north entrance. When the
dOorkeeper is requested to call q Member, he
asks the caller for his card. In most In
stances he or che has. no card, and is con
strained to take the advice OF the placard, aud
go to the professional card-writer and pay fol
having card written. This is inconvenient
and necessitates an outlay Of from TO 2J
cents.
Strangers coming here and desiring to cali
their Members Of Congress from their seats
continues the correspondent, should not sufrel
the imposition OF requiring card. The name
is SUFFICIENT ana only portion OF the as
sistant doorkeepers are such blockheads as u
require cards. The keepers of the north dool
to The House do not require cards, and under
stand their business.
Some OF the assistants at the doors OF thu
Senate ask for card when Senator is called
for. Those at the ladies' waiting-room do, al
though It is altogether red-tape and super
fluous. The matter is to DO inquired into.

WeIcomInr the New year.

As the clocks struck twelve last night the
nre-alarm bell rang out, and eight aud then
i've strokes were sounded as welcome to the
new year 50.
greeted the new year with the melody OF the
"oxford Changes and old Hundred" Then
followed "Adeste Fldelis," "Joy to the World,
"CorOnation," "Sweet By-aud-Dy," "Robin
Affair."" "Potpourri," "Grandfather's Clock"
"Star spangled Banner," "Amerlca," swat
Till the Clouds Roll By" "Long Ago." 'Auld
Lang Syne," and "Old Hundred"
The stean.whistles screached shrllly, horns
were blown and guns were fired and shouting
could be heard all over the city.
Al the Methodist churches and In many
homes the new year was welcomed with
prayer and praise.
AT Hamline, Mount Vernon, Metropolitan,
Wesley, Waugh, Douglas, Foundry, John Yves
ley and Union churches the watch eetings
were impressive and beautiful. Appropriate
sermons were delivered and services OF
prayer and music were held.

THE KELLOGG ELECTION.

The Washington correspondent OF the Phila.
dolphin Times says, In special dispatch to
that Journals
"a scrap OF the. unwritten history OF the late
National Republican Convention has been
gathered from responsible sources, which goes
10 show how true the old adage Is that the
best laid plans OF mice and men Oft gang
aglee. IL appears that when the friends OF
the New Orleans Exposition were here about a
year ago asking for million dollars to help
that enterprise along they entered Into an ar
rangement with the President 10 the ef1oct
that II he would urge Republican support OF
the appropriation In tho Senate the exposition
committee would guarantee him solid dele
CATION TO Chicago. IL is known that the Presi-
dent strongly urged the appropriation. Tue
Republicans, as rule, voted for 1t, and the
appropriation was made.
"When the convention met and the canvass
Ing began the Arthur men, VINO mad been
counting on the solid vote of Louisiana, dis
covered that Kellogg had gone over TO the
Blaine camp, taking a few delegates with him.
The Presidents friends, falling TO win him
leans, reminding him OF the terms of the
Washington agreement, aeking what Kellogg
performances meant and wanting 10 know
why the terms were not carried out Burke
convention, notifying him that II he did not
stand by the agreement and support Arthur's
nomination tho committee would see that he
was not returned to Congress. Kellogg 70.
sisted all appeals and made split In the del
egatlOn in favor Of Blaine. When the election
came, as the country knows, Kellogg was de
feated. Burke and his friends thus gave the
President O guarantee OF their sincerity and
Interests OF his constituency.
"It ie claimed that In stalking his chances Of
future preferment on Blaine, under the cir
cumstances, Kellogg has finally terminated

bag brothers at last functus of1lclo,'

"Tbree wives 10 one Hnsband.'

The New York Star says Of "Three Wives to
one Husband" which Will be presented next
week at Albaugh'e:
''The new piece presented at the Union
Square Theatre last night Is an adaptation OF
q French farce-comedy which has met with
great popularity at the Cluney Theatre, Paris
In its English dress 1t is Ingeniously funny,
albeit the limits OF propriety are occasionally
exceeded, Tho first and second acts are par
ticularly clever, but the third falls somewhat
flat-possibly because that which goes before
eXhausts the font ofhumor from which the au.
thor has got his inspiration. The audience
was largo in numbers and boisterOu5 in point
OF mirth. The various complications and the
comic situations TO which they led up were
greeted with shouts OF laughter, And yet the
cause OF the merrimont was usually Of such a
frothy and frivolous character that the spec
tators fell a.wonderlng, In the entT'dCteS, why
they had laughed"

PendIeton In the Cabiuet.

whether Senator Pendleton should receive
from the next President recognition In the
political sense We will not now discuss but
the Democrats owe more to him for the vic.
tory now in their hands than to any other
man in the country, not excepting the several
residents OF Buffalo who dispute over the po.
litical paternity OF Grover Cleveland. Pen.
dleton's relation to the right principles OF the
Civil Service went farther than anything else
TO make II possible for an Independent to say
that all Democrats are not hostile or lukewarm
toward those principles his action on the bill
drawn up by Dorman D. Eaton enabled such
men as Curtis and Schurz, with little less ap.
parent inconsistency than their action would
otherwise have exhibited, 10 seek alliance with
Democrats. Pendleton was q clean, acceptable
bridge between the deserters and the Demo.
cratic camp to which they have transferred
their flckle and fnioal affections, George b.
Pendleton will occupy in history better place
even than belongs TO him since the Pendleton
act will, IN the course OF time, be associated, In
the popular mind, chiefly with the man whose
name 1t bears and the majority OF people
will finally assume that he was the most prom.
inent and perseyering OF the champions OF the
reform. Perhaps that Is reward enough, But
Pendleton, certainly, is man TO whom the
Democrats owe big debt-SylQcuSe Standard

A Shrewd Mastif.

A gentleman in the county of Fife
possessed fine mastIff, which he, was
in the practice of sending every morn
ing with basket in his teeth to a
neighboring village, with a letter ad-
dressed to his tradesman, who ex-
ecuted the commission contained In
the note, and returned the basket
filled with provisions by the faithful
messenger. AS Pompey was one
morning leaving the village, his basket
laden with warm rolls and a nice leg
mutton, he was set upon by host of
little ours, who, after a desperate
engagement, forced him to seek his
safety in ignoble flight, leaving the
well-contested basket a prey to his
victors. But he was too proud to 60
home. Now, Pompey bad, long been
the mortal foe of Cesar. hero of the
same race, attached to a neighboring
gentleman. Many bloody encounter
increased their deadly hate; yet
victory still remained in suspense.
On the morning of the defeat OF
Pompey that hero was seen taking bis
way to Cesar's abode. Cesar appear
ed on the lawn, Eager to meet his foe,
when, to the amazement of the
spectators, Pompey, as he approached
his rival, held out an olive branch,
by every means in his power implOr'
ing a reconciliation. Cesar met bis
advance. From that moment their
animosity ceased. Pompey had
previously provided for his friend
feast of carrion. After q hearty re-
past, he led him against the assembled
host of little ours, and before the
champions left the village every foe
had bit the dust. After many mu
tual congratulations, no doubt, anC
exchanging vows ofeternal friendship
the conquerors separated, and Pom
pey now returned in triumph to hi
masters house. Dublin Irish Times,
