The Button Craze in Washington.

Washington seems to be a city of buttons. Every one you meet wears Q button of some kind o1 other. A few year ago some fer tile mind among the Grand Army veterans thought of the device of the little button which every vete- rans now wears in the lapel of his coat. The idea at once became popular, and now almost every vet eran wears the plain little badge of comradism. The Loyal Legion next took the idea up, and its hand some button is becoming very well known. Other army organizations, from time to time, adopted the same emblem of recognition, and now the idea is spreading even to the secret societies. The Mystic Sbriners, a branch of the Masonic Order has adopted button bearing the owl and crescent of their order. Knighthoods of various kinds are wearing buttons, and, in one word from the White House down to the lowest Treasury watchman, every body seems to be going around with a button of some kind. The Pres ident and most of the members of his Cabinet wear the plain button of the Grand Army. Secretary
 Noble wears the Loyal Legion but ton. Nearly all of the Senators wear the Grand Army button, while Manderson, Hawley and Plumb are Loyal Legion men. In the House almost every Republican Congress man has a button of some kind showing service in the Union army, while on the Democratic. 1t is hard ly necessary to state, not a button of that kind is worn. Walking on the avenue every second man has a button.-Baltimore American
