The Hobbling Brigade in Con-
greSS.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Two big, broad-shouldered men, each
one walking On crutches, hobbled into
the "bob-tailed'' car at the capitol the
other day just as the house ad iourned.
One was Congressman Brown of Ohio,
who lost his leg in the Union service;
the other was Congressman Stone of
Kentucky, who lost his in the confed-
crate army, and as they passed up to
the front Of the car and deposited
their three cents each in the fare box,
each turned and walked back to the
rear end Of the car, taking the end
seats on opposite sides of the door.
''This is the best location for men in
our condition." said one, and the 9th
er smiled acquiesence, as they rode
down the avenue until they reached the
National hotel, where Mr.. Stone lives.
There he met another ofthe one-legged
brigade in congress, Senator Berry of
Arkansas, who lost a leg in theconfed-
crate service, and who, looks so much
like Mr.. Stone that they are often
mistaken one for the other. Another
member who is just now going on
crutches is Congressman Henderson OF
Iowa, who walks with an artificial leg
part of the time Recently, however,
he has suffered @ great deal Of pain
from the use of the artificial limb and
has laid it aside temporarily. Con-
gresham Brown Of Ohio wore an arti-
fetal limb for a year or two-"tortur-
ed myself with one for awhile is the
way he puts it-but was obliged to re-
turn to the crutch. The two South
Carolina senators-Butler, who lost
his leg in the confederate service, and
Hampton, who lost his by accident in
the war-see1n to be more successful
in the use of artificial limbs. They
walk SO we'll ON them that you would
scarcely suppose theloss of the natur-
al ones. Besides the six one-legged men
in congress there are several men who
use crntches-Daniels, OF Virginia, who
was wounded in the war; Caldwell,
of Pennsylvania, who was disabled by
war service, and Hahn, OF Louisiana,
who has one leg shorter than the 9TH
er, and uses crutches when the walking
is bad: J. D. Taylor, OF Tennessee,
has short leg also, but does not use
a crutch. Frank Hurd, of Ohio, is all
SO afflicted in the same manner and
walks with cane, sometimes two OF
them.

He's fond and fair. I wonder where
Such graces he collected?
He's rich as well. I cannot tell
Why he should be rejected

Until the maid began ofade,
Her thoughts still uncollected.
And both the men proposed again
To girls, while she reflected.

What mighty changes can come to
men in a few years in this country
The marriage of Miss Katie Bantz Da-
Wis, to Lieutenant Brown OF the navy,
illustrates this. The bright young
girl who took a husband in Baltimore
is the second daughter of ex-senator
Henry 6. Davis, OF West Virginia.
She is an interesting young lady, in
heriting many OF the traits OF her
mother for whom she is named. The
magnificent wedding and the number
OF distinguished guests who were there
illustrate one OF the singular phases OF
American life. Not many years ago.

AS Senator Davis looked on at this
wedding cermony, with all its style
and richness, he must have thought
what change had come upon, him
since he married MISC Katie Bautz. at
Frederick, Md, when he was a poor
man. Mr.. Blaine once told me that
Senator Davis was in prospective the
richest man in America, and he is now
IN actual possession of many millions
OF dollars. He has risen to Il place
where he can command for his daugh-
ter's wedding the fashionable people
OF the country, as well as men distin-
guished in every walk of life. Yet l
remember that when he was first elect
ed to the United States Senate, in
which body he served twelve years
with great acceptability, those who
believe that book-learning made up
the sum Of education sneered at his
lack OF rhetoric and good penmanship
But Davis set al. these people aside
in the race, and, with his homely hab-
it's, grew to be man of force in every
position which he occupied.

The officers of the battery thought it
