Hon. Amos ]. Cummings, Representative In
Congress from the Ninth New York District,
| received notice last week of his election as
Delegate at Large from the State of New York
to the National Encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic at indianapolis This
honor was conferred upon Comrade Cummings
in recognition of his gallant fight in behalf of
the Union veterans during the discussion of
the pension appropriation bill in the House of
Representatives. Mr.. Cummings had very lit
| tie chance to score some of the pension haters
| at that time, as he said the gentleman in charge
/ Of the bill was apparently afraid to permit any
Democratic soldier who was in favor Of liberal
pensions to air his views, but the little time he
! did occupy was filled with hot shot for pension
haters
! When Mr.. Stevenson, Vice. President elect,
entered the Senate Chamber on Wednesday,
] March /, he created considerable of sensation,
and the Senators, Democrats and Republicans
| alike, crowded about him to congratulate him
| upon his evident excellent health, as he was
ruddy and had the appearance of being, as they
would say in his native State of Kentucky, at
to race for his life. All the Senators seemed
anxious to meet tho man who barring acci-
dents will direct their legislation for the next
| four years. Mr.. Stevenson responded cordially
to their handshaking and expressed good
wishes. returned compliments. cracked few
jokes over tho result Of the last campaign. and

The United States Min listers to forei en- coun-
tries are already beginning to send in their
designations. SO that President Cleveland may
not be embarrassed in filing their places by
new appointees and Democrats, should he be
SO disposed. 1t has been the practice of the
United States Ministers abroad since the foun-
dation of the Government to place their resig-
nations at once in the hands Of the incoming
Administration, and therefore the present Min
listers are not acting in an extraordinary
manner.

The elegant home of the Vice President and
Mrs. Morton was thronged with distinguished
guests on Wednesday evening, March /, the
occasion being reception given in honor OF
Vice. President-eect Stevenson and wife. The
rich and elegant interior of the mansion wa
enhanced by magnificent display Of palms
and flowers, while the Marine Band furnished
the music.
Heretofore an interchange Of courtesies be-

cessor has been unknown, but most graceful
precedent has now been established which will
probably be followed by future Vice. Presidents
of the United States. But the inspiration of
Mr. Morton's reception to Mr.. Stevenson was
more than purely official, a. these gentlemen
served together in the House of Representatives

. mutual esteem and regard has existed be-
tween them.

The Senate demonstrated last Wednesday,
March 1, how fast it can dispose of important
business when it becomes necessary. The
Postoffice appropriation bill was sent to the
Public Printer at IL o'clock in the morning,
before the measure had been reported to the
Senate, but the report was made shortly after
the Senate assembled. By / o'clock the bill
had been returned from the Printing Office,
| compiled for the reference of each Senator, and
by 1:3O p. m. was up for consideration in the
Senate. The Indian appropriation bill was re-
ported shortly afterwards and was sent imme-
diately to the Printing Office to be put in type,
and was received back before the Senate ad-
! journed. This is the fastest record yet made
on appropriation bills.

chance may have been only grav hairs

but he completes his life successfulIv
he measures up his own standard
