has been almost as much progress as there
has been retrogrcssi0n.
The members dallied with their votes
just as lightly and %flippantly, yesterday, as
on any preceding day. After paying 25
cents for cab hire and wetting myself thor

which were so cOnspicuOusly absent from

home from the capitol in an omnibus and

l Judge, from the tom of the above, that
it was written at about the time when the
editors dinner began to disagree with
that it is earnestly hoped business will

robbery with social attachments and good
fellowship on the side. 1t is mostly en-.
