A Kiss by Moonlight.
Active, Passive andLe-
gal Kisses.
A Pedestrian Catches the Sound.

From time immemorial, no one will pre-
tend to deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by bot sexes-wheth-
err active or passive. 1t has been decided
that a Legal Kiss i'm plies Action on both
parties; but when lady simply consents
to be kissed without action of her lips, it
constitutes only Passive kiss--a sweet de-
prived of its nectar.

Washington was literally jammed
with visitors last Wednesday, to wit
ness the inaugural ceremonies, and
the city was decorated more beauti-
fully and to a greater extent than ever
before. President Arthur and Mr..
Cleveland rode in carriage together
from the White House to the Capitol,
where the inaugural ceremonies were
witnessed by 100000 people. The
inaugural address was short, pointed
and patriotic, and was enthusiastically
cheered. He took the oath of office
on the small bible given to him by
his mother when he started into the
world young man. The presiden-
tial party then returned to the White
House, after which the magnificent
procession passed in review before
them. The ball at night was one Of
the grandest affairs of the kind ever
seen in Washington, ten thousand
people being present. Everything
passed off pleasantly and without ac'
cident, the hest humor prevailing
throughout the day and night,

The lower house of the legislature
had an exciting debate last Wednes-
day on the proposition to grant PEN
sion of SIS per month to ex>Confed'
crate soldiers who had lost both arms
or both legs in the service ofthe state.
As there are probably not one dozen
of them all told, we think our repub>
lican friends were very illiberal not to
allow the bill to pass without question,
especially as we are all heavily taxed
to pensioniex>federal soldiers, and pay
them cheerfully. But Rolerick Ran
don Butler and one or two links to his
kite tail thought they would make
political capital by a little bit of dem
agoguery in opposing it, and took adj
vantage of the occasion to insult every
gentlemanwho had felt it to be his duty
to serve the state under the stars anC
bars. We are glad to say that Mr..
Wade, one of our county representa-
tives, stood up manfully for the de
serving cripples and urged democrat
to vote for the measure, regardless o
what might said. Messrs Trousdal
and Crunk also made ringing speeche
in its favor.
