WASHINGTON, d. G., June 2l.--T Especial
correspondence OF The SUNDAY HERALD.
Senator Ingalls, intends to keep himself
in the political swim. He viii take part in
the coming campaign, and will deliver
speeches in many Of the doubtful states.
He does not like being out Of political
life and the eighteen years which he spent
IN the Senate have spoiled him for the
quiet Of Atchison or the rushing over the
country as q lecturer. If the Republicans
carry the election, he will in all probability
receive one of the best OF the foreign mis-
sions or will have high position in Wash
ington. He is a very proud man. and he
would not take anything below a cabinet
Office, and this would have to be offered
him on a silver platter His remark about
the death OF Plum and the election of Per
kins in which he said that 'he did not want
to ride into Congress in a hearse.n called
out new sotry concerning President Har-
rison tho other day. The incident occurred
about two months before the nominating
convention OF 1883. Harrison was talked
OF as a possible president and there was
some discussion as 20 the sdvisibility Of
making him the vice presidential candidate,
whereupon one of his indianapolis friends
sounded him on the subject Said the In
dianapolis man, Senator Harrison. think

would like to 60 to the White House, but
don't want TO 60 into it through the Gem
etery.n Senator Harrison then discussed
the e-presidents who had become presi-
dents, and as much as said that he would
not have the vice-presidential place on the
ticket.
SUPREME COURT YARN.
Speaking OF grsveyards reminds one of
story which Justice Harlan Of the sn-
preme court has been telling, but whether
IL is personal experience Of his own or as
he gives it that Of judge in Kentucky, 1
do not know. The incident occurred in a
kentucky court room where the Judge on
the bench st the time was the soul Of dig
nifty and pomposity. An lrishfnan had
been arrested for assault and his language
during the trial was such that the Judge
tined him ten dollars for contempt Of court
The Irishman pulled out the ten dollars
and handed il TO the judge. The judge re-
fused TO take il. ana said that the court did
not accept money. and he must give il 20
the sheriff or clerk. He did this and as the
sheriff took it be said: but, your honor
want resate."
THE count does not give receipts. . was
the reply.
but, you honor, must have resate.''
but you can't have receipt. The court
never gives receipts. You win not be
asked for the money sgain and the books
Of the court will be receipt. What more
do you wRntf'
''Why you see. your honor, I'm a good
Catholic and / expect TO go TO heaven, and
when 1 come TO the gate l will find ST.
Peter there with his keys to let me in or
keep me out. And St. PeUer win say. Pat,
Hre you lit for heavenP And / will say,
Yes, your bonor,' and St Peter will say,
Have you paid all you debts, PatP and l
viii say Yes. your s~=2or.' And then he
will ask for my resates and when he looks
over them he will want to know how about
this ten dollars. and when he finds haven't
got il he will send me back to get it. And,
your honor, don't want TO be running ell
over hi after you to get that resate.''
Whether the Irishmsn received a second
sentence for contempt or not, Justice Har-
Ian does not state.
HOW EDISON FIRST SHOWED MS PHoNoGRAPH
IN WASHINGTON.
Senator Blackburn was telling curious
experience the other night which he and
the late Senator Beck had about ten years
ago at the Capitol here. They were talk
Ing together outside Of one Of the commit
tee rooms of the Senate when a stout look |
ing man with q round boyish head covered /
with iron gray hair came up to them, and |
begging their pardon told them that he had |
Il. IL
which he would like 10 show them. Upon |
this he produced q bundle and the senators |
consenting, the three men went into the |
committee room. When the wrapper was
taken of the machine looked like 8 nina
ture corn -sheller, and the man asked Sen
Rtor Beck to talk into it and 10 say any
thing he pleased, Beck thereupon, in stem
torian tones recited one Of Robert Burns
short dialect poems. The boyish looking
man turned the handle and Beck's voice
was ground out in the same tones that he
had used. The senators were astonished
Neither had ever heard or thought of the
possibility OF the photograph and Senator
Beck accused the man of being ventriIo-
Quist He wanted to try it again and in
sisted that the man should 10 off into a dis
tant corner Of the room as he did so. II
will DO better than that replied Mr. Edi-
son, for be was the man. 81 will 90 outside
the door ard you can talk into the machine
y
End the two Kentucky senators found the
machine 10 work equally well durirg his
absence. This was I am told, the first L
time that the photograph was ever shown
in Washington. Now you ind nickie-in-
the-slot machines in every block which re-
tail through this instrument the popular
mUsic Of the day and many statesmen die
iste their letters into monographs aud
have them Transcribed by typewriters
The most Of the shorthand notes Of Con-
Rress are dictated 10 monographs before
being transcribed, and the congressional
record OF To-Day is largely gotten up by I
Photographs.
Bow A POKER CANE MADE A SENATOR.
The coming campaign will be one of
curious msthods and much Of the story OF j
the fight between the two parties will
never be written. The Queerest incidents
OF political elections never get into the
papers. and in illustration OF this one Of the !
senators from the northwest told last night L
how he got donation OF $4,000 towards r
his election from man named Palmer
There was nothing at all surprising b
about il. I" said he. "Palmer wanted TO see Il
me elected and he would have given $4,000 u
rather than have seen me defeated He
had nothing whatever TO gain from my
election and It was case OF pure graft
tude.n t
How So" asked man who knew both a
parties. What did you ever do for Pal r
mer, senatorln y
s'lVell it's an old story now and it hap 4
pened years ago, but don't care to have D
my name mixed up with il. Palmer was v
one Of the liveliest boys of the west aud a
he was ready TO tackle game or q drink b
on almost any occasion. He was in the b

parties and he took number Of carloads b
