AT THIS SESSION.

AT THIS SESSION.
The republican Senators held well-attended
caucus to-day, prior to the meeting of the Sem

One was with reference to putting all clerks
on the annual list, payment to be made
out of the contingent fund There was a gen.
eral sentiment in favor of doing this thing, but
the question of its legality being raised no con-
what was said that the legal doubt
will be sufficient to defeat the
scheme, although that is not absolutely certain.
The other subject was, ''Shall Senator Ooke's
speech on the southern election outrages be
answered!" The conclusion, while not FORM
ally expressed, was that it should not be en-
tered upon at this session.

There's musk on the glove; here's a strand

A handkerchief reeking of Jockey Club,

And the rosebud you gave as knelt at

These, these are as real as sunlight and air,
But you're lie and fraud and q cheat,

A fraud and lie and cheat
The vows that you made could not outlast
the musk;
The handkerchief only last evening was

And the rosebud though faded, is tenderly

But you're shadow 'twixt twilight and
dusk,
A horrible dream, a lie and cheat, Ret;
A fraud and a lie aud a cheat.
There are points in the sky when the day

That erstwhile were stars, but the stars are

They have burned themselves out, and the
story repeat
OF string that is dead, like the love in
your breast,
Which has left you fraud and lie aud a

A fraud aud a lie and a cheat.
The kisses you gave linger on my lips yet,
They burn like the forge when the Goals

And the fre-back holds to its cherry-red

Only One Way to be satisfied.

The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution telegraphs:
There is only one way to get satisfac
ton out of a public office said Presi-
dent Harrison to friend not long ago,
"and that is to please yourself while
you are in it. You cannot possibly give
satisfaction to the rest of the people, no
matter how you try, and the more you
try the less success you will have. The
best President that is possible for the
country to have is always sure to 60 out
of office with enough enemies to make
him uncomfortable If he is very scnsi-
tive man and the worst possiblePresident
when retiring from Office is sure to
have enough friends to make life
agreeable to himself If he has sense
enough to care for himself. The one
thing that will try to do us President
will be to act so that when my term Of
office has expired can say with truth;
Thank God, l have satisfied myself.
1t is the only satisfaction that man
can be certain of. -
