mess Of his constituents would fare very
badly. In the House nothing can be done
out of order except that occasionally some
very important matter is irregularly dis
posed Of by unanimous consent. Mr.. Eyarts
is never in the Senate when the gayel falls
at II o'clock, hence he always loses the ben
eft of the Chaplain's morning prayer. Mr
ingalls,, the presiding officer Of the Senate, IS
very punctilious about observing the regular
order in receiving and disposing Of the rou

rules of discipline must often give way to
Senatorial courtesy Almost every morning
when Mr.. Evarts comes into the Senate
chamber he has large number Of bills and
petitions to present. He generally forgets
all about them until the session is well under
way when he wakes up and "begs leave to
present few matters out of order" Of
course the leave is always granted, but II an

Augusta Topics.

AUGUSTA, April 3.-The Kennebec and
Portland Steamboat Company are now nego-
tiating for the purchase of the steamer w.
b. Wilson, which is the property of the
same company which owned the Albertlna
and operates line Of steamers from New
York to Red Bank, N. j. The w. b. Wilson
is a boat ia feet long, SO feet beam, and
draws three feet of water. AT the present
time she is in Narragansett Bay waters. The
price asked is $25,0OO, and as she is but eight
years old she will make an excellent boat for
the new Hne. 1t is very evident that the
company must secure steamer at an early
day, as the Kennebec will shortly be open to
navigation.

Washington Tales of Senatorial An
gIers.

The fishing season is near at hand. Con-
gressmen with piscatorial instincts are get
ting their tackle ready for the sport. Among
the fishermen in the Senate, Mcpherson Of
New Jersey holds high place: his angling
is done in accordance with rules laid down
in books. If he were to catch fish in any
sort of haphazard or irregular way, he would
never forgive himself Mr.. Edmunds, too, is
fine fisherman, and loses while on fishing
trip with friends much of that frigid manner
for which he is justly or unjustly famous.
Indeed, when out in the woods, he discards
the habitual reserve he assumes In public life
and can be jovial and agreeable companion
He can sit on log and drink out of jug
like any Democrat but the minute his fish,
ing tackle is put back into its case, and he
returns to his public duties. be freezes up

About two years ago he gave the President
few days of excellent sport in West Vir-

three times a year manages to make his
way to the fishing grounds. The most scien-
tifc angler, however, is Hampton. He has
one of the finest outfits in Washington, and
his patience and perseverance are said to be
all that can be desired. He frequently acts
as a sort of instructor to his colleagues who
are willing to try hand in fishing for bass
in the Potomac. 1t is said OF him that he
once took Lamar, while he was yet Sena-
tor, up to the Chain Bridge at Little Falls,
for days fishing. LAMAR, as is his Gus
tom, took novel along with him and while
Hampton was stumping among the rocks
set himself down upon the bank OF the river,
hooked on his line live frog. cast 1t out in
to the water, opened his book and waited for
results. Patience makes good fishermen,
and Lamar should have got all the bass in
the Potomac, for he sat still with his pole be-
tween his knees, while he deyoured the
novel, until the waning sun walked him to the
fact that the day was almost gone and he al
so saw Hampton appear in the distance with
fine string of fish in his hand. Starting up

Reckless Shooting.

There was some very reckless shoot
ing on the street Tuesday night about
8 o'clock, by Mack Rutherford, in
difficulty between himself and Peter
Kennedy. They were in the street op-
posite the store of G. & G. 5. Mower.
-Four shots were fired. One struck
small tree, one went through the store
window and through two tin buckets
in the rear end Of the store, another
glanced on the window sill and the
other went down the street. Nobody
was hit. They were brought before the
council on Wednesday morning, and
Mack WAS fined ten dollars and Peter
discharged.
Kennedy Sworc out L warrant before
Justice Blease against Rutherford for
assault and battery of 4 high and ag-
gravatel nature, and intent to kill, and
with deadly weapon, but on the re-
quest of the attorney representing the
ENldlt Il pleilllIlllttI SAliillHHti"ii " g.
waived and Rutherford released on his
own bond, with i view to having the
matter compromised. This we take it
is Il serious charge and should not be
compromised. 1t is true, in this in
stance, no one was hurt; but such reck-
less shooting on the public streets
should be punished if there is any law
which can reach the case. The intent,
certainly, was deadly, and for such
characters to he turned loose OH the
community with so little trouble and
Inconvenience to themselves should not
I've tolerated in Il law-abiding commu-
nifty.
Mack paid his ten dollars to the coun-
ell and is ut large.
Mack Rutherford has taken out a
similar warrant against Peter Kennedy.
1t would seem that both were armed
with pistols.
We hope that this case will not be
permitted to bc compromised.
