Washington Letter.
An ingenious scheme has been in

charm. He calls it "the dummy-key
racket" He is a very popular fellow.
and lives at one OF the large hotels in
Washington. He found that his room
had become the headquarters of a
crowd of his friends, who were using
1t alter free and easy fashion of a
club house. He didn't like to say any
thing about it, but he saw plainly that
something must be done and done
quickly.
Being OF an observing turn OF mind
he noticed that visitors inquiring aft
er boarders in the hotel usually look
ed at the key boxes back ofthe clerks
desk. j. the key was gone it was toll.
erably certain that the man had tax
en- it to open his door, and was prob
ably in. On the other hand, il the
key was in the box, OF course, the
boarder was out. This fact gave the
member very enlarged idea. He
knew that if his friends saw a key
there they would think he was away,
therefore would not come up stairs, so
he had dummy key" made which
is always in his box, except very late
at night, when the clerk removes it
only to replace it in the box early in
the morning. The scheme has worked
to charm, and the member of CON
gress now only hopes he can keep it a
secret until the end of the present ses-
sion.

ners captivated all. The president and

corps who is in the country was there.
All OF the corps wore their court dress, OF

The Supreme Court of Indiana has
just decided in favor of the state the
contention as to the ownership of the
land formerly forming the bed OF GER
tain lake. The state claimed to be
the owner of the bed of the lake, hav-
ing acquired title through she swamp
land act" of 1856. The lake was then
a large body of water, but it has since
been drained. Shortly after the pas
sage OF theswamp land act, theswamp
lands surrounding the lake were sur
veyed and conveyed by patents, and
since then the purchasers and their
grantees have claimed the land under
the lake as riparian proprietors. The
court holds that the patents for the
border tracts did not carry the bed of
the lake, bus that the same remains
the property of the state, and that
there has been nothing done by the
state to estop itfrom asserting titleto
the lands in question.

PEGGY

From the New Orleans Picayune.
Ny little maid, whose tangled hair
Outshines the warm sunshine,
Come, round to dainty hollows fair
Those dimpled palms OF thine,
And send fairy bugle- blast
Across the rosy morn
To call the bonny blue.eyedlad
A-hoeing in the corn.
She shakes her head, the little maid
He is not there (she saith,
Nay, then, where lush green grasses spread
And summer holds her breath
Mayhap he leads the lettering kline;
Or where the sunbeams steep
The grassy slopes and shadows divine
He minds your fathers sheep.
She shakes her head, the little maid,
He is not there tshe saith,
Nay, then, feet. foot and unairaid
He speeds across the heath
A-chasing OF the antlered deer;
The hounds are following fair;
His ringing shous surely hear
She saith, he is not there.
She brought me to the wind swept hill,
Whose lonesome grasses wave
Thro' summers heat and winter chilli
Ger many heaped up grave.
But when with trembling tongue prayed
The name OF one who slept
Beneath the mound the newest made,
She answered not, but wept.
