The New Congressman.

Turner, the icemsn recently -lectsd to
congress irom one of the New York dis
tricts, has confessed that he does not feel
a. comfortable in his new seat in congress-
as lie did upon his ice wagon. Thersupon
the funny papers have already begun tell
ing him 10 keep cool.
Amos Cummings has written in the Sun
vivid sketch of the woes of the member
IN his first term, which doubtless Mr..
Cummings draws up from the deep salt
well of experience There are l2o new
Congressman this year.
Months will be required before the new
member learns the staircsses, laby rinths
aud passages of the huge Capitol building,
and even after months he will sometimes
need guide to show him the way This
will .be more apt to occur after
lunch i'll the senate restaurant with some
of his constituents. 1t will take more
than months for him to get the hang of
the rules of the house. Ii he attends to
business strictly he will have almost no
time for social pleasure.
He will be put on committee, perhaps
two, and he can tell no more than a dead
man what committee it will be- If he is
skilled lawyer, perhaps he will be one Of
the gentlemen appointed to look after our
great American navy.
Stick close to your desk and never go to
sea-
And 1-on'I oil he fba rular Of tho nuaan's
nayee.
During the first term he will be suubbed
and sat upon from the word go by exper
fenced members. He will not be permit
ted to make speech, even though the
question is one about which he is the only
man in the house who knows anything.
A general who commanded the troops that
destroyed certain property durinE the
war was serving his second term. A bill
came before the house in which this very
matter was involved. The general, who
alone knew about it, wished to give some,
information to the house. He put the case
to the chairman of his committee, and ask
ed to address the house half an hour. His
chairman replied in that lordly manner
long official residence at Washington gives:
when We want you to talk we'll let
you know"
The new congressman finds himself up
on bed OF Goals aud not of rosss says
Mr.. Cummings. He will be awfully an
noyed by women, for one thing. But fiat
the end of his first term, balancing &C
counts, he concludes that on the whole he
has had more fun than bother, he goes in
for it again,
Most of them do go in for it again, in
cluding Mr.. CUMMINGS

The newspapers are noting that old
gum shoes are manufactured into very
tine quality of chewing gum, the delicious
tiayoriug extracts entirely obliterating the
odor of feet.
The gum chewing habit is evidently
on the increase. The owner Of q chewing
gum factory III Indiana, one of the smallest
III the country, recently said Thus far
this year (les9) we have made and sold
siO0, 900 worth of the stuff. We employ
$50 men and gils, and We ship to iobbfng
houses in every large city in the country.
There are in the United States alone fully
d dozen large factories, employing as many
persons as we do, and in most cases more.
The annual output Of these factories viii
average $3.50, 900 per year, making a total
production OF mole than 5000, 900, and
there are enough smaller confectionery
establishments TO increase the annual pro.

The brigade had come on slowly through
the early night, when the commander dis
covered that be had been left, and made u
long halt without fires on the road half d
mile above the ruin, because the fellows
in advance discovered that there was a
cavalry camp on the road ahead of them,
and the time had been employed in the
endsavor to find another road leading to
the river They did not know how much
cavalry there was, and supposed that they
had gotten in between the advance guard
aud the main body Of some rebel division
on the march
While here th ey also heard the noise OF
the darkies, and this helped them 10 a
knowledge Of their position.
As they watched the cavalry camp they
saw the cavalry move, and were able t.
count it, and discovered that they Were
about two small oompa niss. Then, sop
posing that the object of the eaNalry was
to effect some surprise, 1t was thought
that il might be happy chance to make
il double surprise party.
Thus the brigade had moved stealthily Oh
the same line with the cavalry, its com
mander clearly perceiying ali the oppor-
tunities of the occasion, and so they had
happily arrived, and lngersoll Talbot,
and Crane were very happy fellows, though
they had d night somewhat painfully
erammei with experience.
