them.

smiling and happy, to receive greeting from
his friends. The members of the Cabinet as
sumed the seats upon the dais reserved for
them, and up to II O'Clock the crowd CON
tinued TO pour into the room.
At II o'clock the door was opened for sup

Such a crush and scramble as there was
Little screams. broken ordinations, and
hurried prOtestatiOns against the rush were
heard upon al sides, but no one needed or
cared for anything but to find place at the
table, at one end of which stood the Presi-
dent, Mrs. Lincoln, and their suite.
That supper scene was one never to be

was ridiculously laughable connected
with il one naturally looks back upon it in
keen amusement The tables having been
instantly filled up, all the spaces between
the glass cases containing the office property
were soon crowded to their utmost capacity.
Many q fair creature dropped upon the
benches with ordinations of delight, while
their attendants sought 10 supply them from
the table, TO which they had to fight their
way Those who could not get seats stood
around in groups or sank down upon the
floor in utter abandonment from fatigue.
1t was curious to sit and watch the crowd;
to hear the gay laugh, the busy hum of con-
versation and the jingle of plates, spoons
and glasses; to see hands uplifted. bearing
aloft huge dishes of salads and creams, loaves
of cake and stores OF candies, not intre-
quently losing plentiful portions on the way.
Many an elegant dress received its donation
of cream, many tiny slipper bore away
crushed sweets and meats, and lay among
fragments of glass and plates upon the floor.

Stirring Political Scenes.

The impeachment of President Johnson,
writes Ben Perley POore, was loudly de-
manded by Wade, Butler, Thad Stevens, and
other ultra radicals when Congress met.
"Why," said Mr.. Stevens, 'Ill take that
mans record, his speeches, and his acts be-
fore any impartial jury you can get together,
and Il III make them pronounce him either a
knave or q fool without the least trouble "
He continued: "My own impression is that
we had better put it on the ground of insani-
ty, or whisky, or something of that kind.

ing him he is a rascal. I'd rather put it
mildly, and say he hasn't got off that unau-
guration drunk yet, and just let him retire to
get sobered Off" When the Republican
Representatives met in caucus, attempt
was made to discipline Mr.. Raymond. of the
New York Times, who was then a member
of the House. for having attended the Phila-
delphia ''bread-and butter Convention. Mr..
Jim Ashley, of Ohio, formally moved Mr..
Raymond be requested TO withdraw where
upon that gentleman rose and commenced
in very nervous manner, to give an ex-
PLANTATION of what he evidently regarded as a
very serious accusation against him. He said
he was here Union man. He had always
been Union man. He desired TO continue
in the Union party, and he would remain in
the Union party, God being his helper.
Mr. Schotield, of Pennsylvania, moved that
the question of Mr. Raymond's belonging to
the Union party be felt to himself to deter
mine. Iii he honestly believed himself a
member of that party, he might remain; il
not he could withdraw.

IL. Lancey IN It. Nicholas.
One sultry night, in Indiana, l sat busily

My lamp. placed upon my desk attracted
countless numbers of the insect world that
come out TO see their friends only after dark;
there was a constant buzz around the lamp
and many scOrched victim, falling on its
back. yainly kicked its little legs in air.
Suddenly clear low whistle sounded from
the window whistle somewhat like the
sound made when a boy blows into the orr
fice of trunk-key Startled for a moment
i turned my chair and beheld on the win
dOw-sill little tree-frOg gravely looking at
me- His skIn-Of an exquisite pale apple

Presently he gave another little whistle, as

trusted "a confidence not niisplaced) and
soon he gave an easy spring and was on the
desk before me- / hardly dared to breathe
lest he should be alarmed. He looked at me
carefully for few minutes; and then. hop
ping under the lamp, he began a slaughter of
the Insect creation, such as ] had never be-
fore witnessed. He captured in flash any
careless fly or moth that came near him, de
Ginning to touch the dead ones that had Gre
mated themselves.
After half an hours enjoyment of this kind

with my work and soon forgot my visitor
But judge my surprise when on the next
night he again appeared, again signaled his
coming with musical cry, and again took
up his position under my lamp
For nearly three weeks did my small friend
visit my room nightly, and he and became
great friends. House flies were his special
dellcacy. Stealthily crawling up the painted
wall, olinging TO the smooth surface with the
little disks or suckers on his feet. he would
draw close up to his body first one leg and
then the other, and when within proper dis
tance. he would dart forward and, snatching
the fly. would swing head downward. his
hihd fee; firmly glued to the wall Then,
attaching his forefeet, he would move on in
quest of another.
He never missed his aim, and he would
quietly and calmly zigzag up and down the
side wall after every fly he saw there. He be-
came quite accustomed to me, and would

with grave composure, ludioious to behold.

Where margin merchants meet,
And take some little options
On January wheat:
You watch the little ticker.
Till the hands swing round the ring,
Then you find your little Doodle
Has gone 4 -glimmering.
That's business.
You go into faro bank
And buy a stack of chips.
And watch the cards come from the box
Which the dealer deity fiips.
When your head is dull and aching.
At the breaking of the day,
You see that tickle fortune
Has gone the other way.
That's gambling
