"Some OF these statesmen are queer
drinkers" the saloonist went On. "A
member know drinks about forty drinks
a day. He fills his glass to the brim and
tells the barkecper, when IL runs over,
his sight Is bad and he can't see well.
One must nave three Jumps Of sugar, II
tablespoonful Of winter and a half a COB
let Of whisky for his usual dram. He
dusts a little nutmeg over this, gulps IL
down and exclaims every time he does so
that IL is n drink nc for the gods. One
congressman drinks beer In great guam
titles, and he always puts pepper sauce
in IL. He is an economical fellow and
says that pepper makes the beer
burn his stomach as well as whisky, and
his drinks cost him but half the price.
"Some statesmen drink ON the sly, and
one l know who. II he sees any one in the
saloon whom he Is ashamed TO have
know hat he drinks. will buy a cigar OF
get change for a quarter and then wait
around until his friend goes out before
he orders his dram. don't think on
cluded this man, that statesmen drink
as much as they used TO, Public opinion
Is against 1t and they nave to b. careful"

And n curl OF her red, disdainful lip;
Lightly she laughed AS he rode away
In the golden CLEAN Of n dying day.
Squirting his steed with a frightened rein
At the sound OF her gay Auf Wiederse-
hen,
And cursing the cruel fate that set
His heart at the feet OF n vain coquette.
But the restless hound she held In check
Felt the hand hat lay On his shaggy
neck
Culver and stir. while the shadows grew
Dusky and dark in the tremulous blue
OF her April eyes, and a weary sigh
Broke in her airy cry;

They reached the beach on the other
side, and, jumping out, formed under the
steep bunk, which they climbed Mt once.
The whole heavens pealed with the
mighty thunder OF more than 200 cannon
and the air quivered with the defamation
of bursting shells. But the Michigan
men not only held the ground they just
won, they gained more, and, reinforced
by the Massachusetts, men, who were
now arriving in %pontoons, pushed the
Mississippians steadily back through the
streets OF Fredericksburg in that vicieity
and thus enabled the engineers 10 resume
their work after their own systematic
fashion. BY dusk three double pontoon
bridges spanned the river at the town,
and the right wing OF the army of the
Potomac was pouring over, preparatory
10 the bloody and disastrous battle Of
twodays later. "Old Bullp Sumner was
so delighted ms he observed tho in
trepidity OF the Michigan and Massa
chusetts men that he sent for n
brass baud that was snugly shell
tered in a ravine to the rear.
The devoted musicians hastened TO obey,
and took their stand, like martyrs, on the
plateau near the Lacy house. They
struck up Yankee Doodle" as the gray
haired general desired, but they could
not have got much further on than where
the first doodle dandyi' comes In, when
a Confederate shell sought them out
carefully, and burst Just above their
heads. The music ceased, and the brass
horns were seen no more that day.
In the campaign OF 1854, from the VIII
derness TO the James and beyond, pom
toon bridges were In constant use, and
that hummer p%ontoons, made Of canvas,
stretched on wooden frames, were ex-
tensively employed ms preliminary
bridges for the passage OF the heads of
columns. They were lighter to transport
and easier TO lay than the heavier wooden
p%ontoons, and were sufficiently strong to
bear infantry and light batteries. But
In n continued move tiey were always
replaced, ~ rapidly rs possible, by the
wooden pontoon bridges, over which
heavy artillery, cavalry and wagon trains
could pass In safety.-T. y. Galwey. in

The regular Sunday suicide occurred yes
terday afternoon. and created the usual
amount of talk and CONSERVATION among
the neighbors. This time it was p. Peter
son, aged So years, a tailor, residiug at ZIG
Twenty-fifth avenue south. About 4
o'clock he arose from his chair, and telling
his wife he would be back Ill a short time,
went out. Supper-time came, and, as he
had not put i'll an appearance, Mrs. Peter
son became alarmed, and rushing to a neigh
bor's house, asked Aug. Larson to look
for her husband. Mr.. Larson began his
search soon after o'clock, and some min
uteS later came upon the dead body of Mr.
Peterson, swinging by the neck to and fro
from rafter in the upper story or his
house, which is Gncompleted. Peterson
had evidently adjusted the moose
carefully around his neck, and
then stepped off from the beam
into eternity. Coroner Hill was summoned
and the body taken to Gleason u Byormis'
morgue, where it will be prepared for
burial. No cause has been assigned for the
act, any more that that his wife stated that
all day yesterday her husband was moody
aud cross and wanted to be alone. She
was greatly agitated about it at the time
and had kept close watch owes him until
Sunday afternoon, when he seemed in good
spirits.
1t likely that the deceased has contem-
plated suicide for some time. H. A. Swan
berg, one of the park policemen, state that
two weeks ago he noticed Peterson at Riv-
erside park and upon approaching him dis
covered that he mad thrown rope over
the limb of birch tree. He took the rope
down reluctantly and went away. 1t is
thought from this circumstance that he
perhaps contemplated hanging himself at
that time

tor is Going 1t Too Strong

10 the EDITOR or the GlODe:
The Rev. e. Q. Plummer of the Second A.
M. II. church is still begging for funds, I see
funds to buy the old German Methodist
church on Fourth avenue south and Fifth
street. He had, learn, some fifty members
when he started out to raise 1000 for this
edifice. One of his congregation informs me
he has caused quite stir and decrease in
membership. or the five trustees who were
in charge when this gooG brother came into
the fold only one remains; the other four
confess they did not like his manner OF doing
business and withdrew. At an election had a
few evenings ago only those who agreed
with the reverend, were called upon to fill
the positions of trustees, and am told three
were selected, two of whom can neither read
nor write the other one has been in our
city but little over two months. Yet these
three, with the good brother, are to raise
and handle the peoples money. Now, S22,-
600 is no small sum; in fact, hear Rev.
Plummers whole congregation is not worth
much over half of this amount, for the we'll
TODD colored folks are not members of his
big church Is not this good brother going
too far? Do his people need so expensive 81
church? Have they not already got one
church on the east side of the river free of
debt? If it is small, why do not the good
Methodists unite and enlarge it. l am told
Rev. Plummer has a man hired whom he
he pays 81 so or 81 day to introduce him.
Can this be true? I am sorry those people
are allowing themselves to be led into such
burdensome enterprise, and hope our worthy
citizens will not encourage them by their
donations, as it is unnecessary.
