every quarter. one would suppose that
he had just died. Washington Critic.
The friends of Senator Voorhees,

that he has a carbuncle on his leg. In

Cleveland Plaindealer.
Judge Gresham has five bullets
in his body. received during the war.
and Republican paper says that 'the
people love him for the lead he car
ries." How many rebel bullets does
Mr.. Blaine carry? Judging from his
hold upon Republican heart-strings.
he must be about as full of lead as

Senator ingalls, propo ses to have
a part of the speech in which he ut
atcked Senator Voorhees, expunged

the historic attic which is already half
full of just such rubbish.--N. 7. Herald.
