The Washington critic., 1890-02-14

good care of myself, and Natures book
keeper has placed some years still to
my credit account" was the cheerful
remark of the old Kentuckian.
BY the way, you must call on Har-
rison while you are here, tell him to
cheer up, and that he is not as bad an
egg as his Republican friends would
have us believe"
Hon. Simon Lugg Matthews of HazleI
hurst, Miss, United States Marshal for
the Southern District of Mississippi, is
at the Harris House. Mr.. Matthews is
a son of the late Colonel Prentiss Mat
thews, who was shot down at the Copiah
massacre several years ago. Mr.. Mat
thews is one of the leading Republicans
in the South.
Mr.. Ned Harris, formerly manager of

| ginia and master of the Warrenton
hounds, is at the Hotel Johnson.
Hon. Henry Kernaghan of Mis-
sissippi, who is contesting the seat of
Representative Hooker, is stopping at
| the Harris House. Colonel Kernaghan
| feels very confident of being seated
He says the fraud practiced in his dis
trict by the Democrats were so glazing
and palpable that it was impossible for
| the Democrats to cover them up. The
friends of Colonel Kernaghan say he
has very strong case, and they don't
! see how any Democrat can condone the
| frauds by which Hooker is alleged to
have been elected.
| A little man with an immense big
diamond in his shirt-bosom strutted
| about the corridors of the National Ho-
tel last night, the eyes of half dozen
darkies following him in silent admira-
ton. His checked suit was cut in the
latest English fashion, and he tried his
best, judging from his actions, to make
people believe that he was native of
the tight little isle. He could not keep
his monocle in place, however, and his
efforts TO do so showed that he was not
used TO wearing single eye.glass. He
| was liCW W w lOl .
| after he found that he did attract the
attention he expected to, he took seat
on truck and posed for the darkies
He had been in this position only a
few moments when Government Off
cial addressed him in the most friendly
manner and inquired his business in
Washington. The little man appeared
astonished and pretended not to know
the official.
Don't know met" the latter ex-
claimed ''why, of course you do. i
lived right around the corner from your
plumber shop in New York"
The little man gasped, and, after
giving quick glance at the laughing
crowd around him, hurriedly left tn c
hotel, for he was not even stopping
there, and went to his boarding house
considerably crestfallen.

Although Congressman j. Henry Nc.
Carthy is not new arrival at Wizards s,
one would think so, judging from the
crowd which surrounded the Little
Giant" in the corridor of the hotel last
night. There seems to be sort Of at
Effectiveness about Mac" as he is
called by his friends, that attracts peo
pie to him wherever he goes.
