Two Good Stories.

Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi, says that the mendicants of Washington amuse him very much, and that, while they do not often "get away with him." one did prove too much for him the other day ''l was sauntering down Pennsylvania avenue" said the humorous Alen-"I always love to sumter when the weather will permit-and was tackled by four beggars before had walked eight blocks The first one addressed me as captain But he didn't reach me The next one, who looked awfully troubled and who swore he hadn't had a mouthful tc eat all day, addressed me as major But that wouldn't work Then fellow touched me on the arm and called me 'judge;' but he, too, failed completely to reach my pocket book. Finally, just as was wondering whether l should go into the senate chamber and find out who were getting the big punls under this administration, a seedy looking fellow stepped right in front of me and said.
 Senator, l won't detain you but mo ment 1 am in hard Iuck'-
 And before knew it that little piece Of hattery had yanked quarter of dollar out of my pocket"
 This episode" continued the Mississippian, 'reminds me of little colloquy between the famous Bishop Polk of Tennessee, after hay ing taken his seat at table in a Washington hotel and the waiter who was ever on the alert for tips, and who knew be had dis tinguished man to serve.
 "'What kin l do for you. cap'nT be in quired

The Philadelphia Record extends
tie following tribute to the rcsour-
ces and possibilities Of our new
and grand State Of Washington,
thus:
The gold mines made California;
the silver mines made Colorado,
and the wheat fields have made
Dakota what she is; grain and
stock raising have made Illinois;
corn has made Iowa and Nebraska;
copper has made Michigan, and
fine horses have made Kentucky
famous the world over; ship build
ing has made Maine and granite
quarries have made New llamp-
shire. OHIO may rank first in
wool, New York in potatoes and
hay, Texas il cattle, and Pennsyl-
vania in iron and coal; but where
is the state ia all the union that
has ali these resources combined
like Washington? Sic will ye
rival California in her gold mines
Colorado in her silver mines, Da
kota in her wheat fields, Michigan
in her copper, and Pennsylvania il
her coal and iron. New Iampshir
in her granite, and Maine in he
ship building.
Not only does she rival all tn
other states in her chief production
BIZ: she possesses advantages whic
many CT them do not. She wi
in short space OF time surpas
all other countries in the world /
> hop raising. She possesses til
' greatest proportionate extent
navigable waters, has the fines
harbors, the most fertile soil {
= any state in ihe Union. An
above all other advantages is he
salu brious heathfuI climate. Goo
: health is the one great requisite
7 without it all else would amour

a there; no plaques, no long, co
Fl winters, no hot summers; but
