 There has never been any such a thing as billion dollar congress. | Democratic falsehood is the only ground on which that charge can rest. But it can be demonstrated with mathematical accuracy that there is five-cent democratic house now in session-one that while run ming at an expense of over S1,00O a day puts in such costly time debat- ing the proposition 10 reduce the appropriation for soap and saddle blankets for the cadets at West Point.
 The two democratic factions of Louisiana have agreed upon a mode of settling their differences. The two state tickets will be submitted to a primary election of the democratic voters, and the ticket which shal receive the majority of votes will be considered the regularly nominated ticket.

Not content with this, he took fork and gouged out the eyes of the little one, which he roasted, and then, taking a slice out of either jaw, he and his sister sat themselves down and feasted.

She says: "The corset, the hustle, the hoop, to- gether with stiff hats and bonnets, should at once be consigned to their inevitable doom-oblivion Oh, for big bonfre!" And again in dis cussiDg face powders: ''Starch is hideous fend, clothed in white to imperil the health and torture the sensibilities of highly evolved human beings" The high-heeled shce is also condemned as an abomination, and the theory is advanced that there should be no artificial obstacles in the way of free and graceful move ment of all parts of the body.
 Ex-Governor Thayer has at last been prevailed upon to renew the fight for the governorship of Ne- braska and contest with Governor Boyd to the last inch. The deci- sion of the United States supreme court was only on Thayer's demur- Ter to Boyd's answer, and in the very nature of things it could not have gone into the real merits of the case.
