so carefully that when he goes forth IN tne

I saw q celorsd man taking perpendicular
lunch at the depot yesterday, and evidently
the veteran Georgia Senator Is MS model,
for he cut his custsrd pie into large rsctan-
gular hunks and pushed it back behind
his CLOTHS with case knife, after which
he drew in a saucerful OF tea with loud
and violent Wsys-and-Means- Committee
report, which reminded me Of the noise
made By an unwearied cyclone trying to
suck cistern dry think that the colored
man exaggerated the imitation somewhat,
bat he was evidently striving TO assume
the table manners Of Senator Brown, Of
Georgia.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF STATESMEN.
For this reason, II for no other, members
of the Cabinet, Senators, representatives,
Judges and heads of departments cannot
be too careful in their daily walk and con-
yersation. Unconsciously they are mold
ing the customs, the manners and the
styles Of dress which are to become the
customs, the manners and the dress OF
whole race. If / could to- day take our
statesmen all apart, not so much for the
purpose of examining their works but so
that we could be alone and talk this mat
ter over by ourselves, / would strive III
nv poor, weak, fsltering way TO impress
upon them the awful responsibility which
rests upon them not only as polite and
flpent conversationalists, classical and
courteous debaters, speaking pieces for the
bsueiit of future conventions, Of referring
10 each other as liars, traitors, thieves,
deserters, bummers, beats and great moral
assesses on the body polite; rehearsing
compaign speeches in Congress at an ex-
pense of$20 per day each, and meantime
obstructiDg wholesome tariff legislation,
but rs the conservators of etiquette, states
manship and morality for race OF people
the great responsibility for whose welfare
still rests upon Us as nation.
Only the day before yesterday | saw q
thin, why and colored gentleman paving
around in an ash barrel for something,
He resurrected sad and detected plug hat,
and though il was not half so good as the
one be wore, he seemed very much pleased
with il and put it on. ventured to ask
him why he had done 50 without improv-
ing his appearance. and he said that for a
long time he had been looking for hat
which would heighten the resemblance
which people had often noticed and re-
marked in days gone by, both in person,
sab, and general carriage, walk and con-
versation, sab, also in the matter of clear
cut and logical life sentences, as existing
between himself, sab, and Senator Eyarts,
sab. He believed that he had struck it
sab.
EFFECTS OF CAPITAL AIR.
As the spring warns up the air about
Washington, the heating apparatus of the
Capitol begins to relax its interest, and
now you can visit most any part of the
stately pile without being scrambled in
yonr own emDoupoint. Last winter l
heard Senator Frye, of Maine, make his
great tariff speech, and although there was
nothing about the speech itself which
seemed to involve much exercise or in
dustry-for it was the same speech in every
essential quality that have heard every
November since began to tske an interest
10 politics-the Precipitation ran down his
face in small washouts and sweatlets and
fell in the arers with mellow PUNK,
/ believe this unnatural heat to be the
cause of much i'll health among our law
makers, and / freely admit that the un-
healthy surroundings Of Washington and
the great contrast between the hot air of
the Capitol and the cold outside have done
\ great deal toward keeping me out OF the
Senate. The night air of Washington is
also filled with malaria and is much worse
than any night air have ever used before.
