But for this time let me sway with
farming and write = little gossip or
news. or about sightseeing: anything
70 get out Of the gut Of farming. Yes
terdsy went 70 the Senate chamber
to hear Whist are usually supposed 20
be grave, sedate. digniHed Senators.
Instead, heard hot words, and even
the lie passed. with invectiycs loud
and deep. Tonight ! went 70 the cir
Gus; yes. 70 the circus; the biggest
show on earth five hundred en-
pIoyes, three hundred horses. snd fif-
teen thousand people collected 70 80

the music; the trained elephants that
do everything. seemingly. but talk the
graceful riding, the exciting races. the
music. Well, saw many an old gray
head--grayer than mine--there, both
male and female, enjoying the show "
o. II IL were the finest treat on earth.
The study of the crowd was about a.
interesting rs anything 10 he seen.
Here gaiiy dressed lady would sweep
by, followed, maybe. by one shabbiIy

the widest and longest; show their
teeth the plainest Of anybody under
the canvass.
But here, / didn't intend To sit down
10 write you about the circus. as all
eiderly(7j ladies do not caro- 10 hear
about that.
Presumably what you would like 10
hear about was what saw and heard
In the senate chamber. and what
heard the Senators say. They said
naughty things. and ] won't here re-
peat them. II was memorable scene,
though.
IAN Washington was astir." SO the
wise ones said, because senator ingalls,
had given out that ON Tuesday he
would answer what Senator Voorhees,
had said In previous speech. ! went
ut half-past eleven, though the speech
did not begin until two o'clock. and
was then able 10 get only back seat.
The aisles were filed soon after, and
all the standing room was occupied by
men and women. who waited patiently
for two long hours 70 hear the begin
ming. Thousands upon thousands
came and could not gain admittancc
at all. The pressure became so great
that some OF the glass In the doors was
broken by the swaying crowd: II
seemed as II every member of the
House had deserted his post and left
the tariff debate to its fate, and crowd
ell in on the floor Of the Senate. In

very slowly. and his voice was so clear
that every syllable he uttered could lie
distinctly heard throughout the hall.
He did score Voorhees, numerically
80 much so that the latter lost his tenn
per and called Ingalls, liar and dirty
dog. Voorhees, Il fine speaker, and.
II he had held his temper. was fully
equal to Ingalls,. lie l. n large. portly
man. and full Of physical vigor. You
will doubtless see both speeches print
ed. and, even II you do not, ] cannot
undertake 10 tell what il was all about
or what they said, but 1t is considered
here the keynote Of the coming cam
paign.
We have quite a Washington Terri
