His feet like mallets falling,

Like q drunken Sioux soualling.
Ihear him In the kitchen now,
He's crawled upon the table;
To bear annoy from that bad boy
! do not think I'm able
He now goes charging through the hall,
A chair he's bragg ing after;
He gives such shrieks OF reckless Joy
As fairly split the rafter
He's plunging now toward my room,

Or else my writing for the day,

The clatter Of his feet
caLnot hear his shouts OF Joy,
Or laughter flowing sweet
lcannot hear him in tho hall.
Though long strive to hear;
What would give, my friends, to have
Those noisy footsteps nearl
Oh, could l now unbar the door,
Oh, wouldn'tit be JOY,
An inspiration TO my pen,
To greet my noisy boy

pie to Belfast and the streets are thronged with
enthusiastic crowds Everybody is wearing =

Duke OF Abercorn, the mayor Of Belfast and
other leading unionists headed monster pro-
cession Of Orangemen, of members Of unlon-
ist clubs. Odd Fellows and other organizations,
which moved through the streets wearing the

with abundance Of flags. played British and
unionist airs, while the great multitude that
lined the streets all the way to the Botanical
Garden cheered with immense enthusiasm a.
each noted character or well-known organisa-
ton passed along.
Mr.. Balfour rode in q carriage, barehesded,
constantly bowling in recognition Of the greet

viii be made FOR political reasons. and vet tie
the first change made in the District govern
ment is the removal Of republican and the
appointment of democrat IL NAV be ;hst Mr.
Hazelton was considered an offensive PARTISAN.
for it is well known that during the la-t
campaign he worked hard for republican sue
cess in Wisconsin. Another reported reason
for the removal is that NJ Hazleton was in-
different to the official work assigned him
There are any number OF cases. it is stated

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Not Many Visitors. Seek the President's
Presence Today.


The Office seekers appeared to have the spring
fever today, and but few of them mustered up
enough energy to climb the White House
stairs to the Presidents room. The attack Is
probably only temporary, however, and they
will brace up by tomorrow. when they caS have
more time to talk with him.
VIRGINIA HAS AN INNING.
Virginia seemed to have an inning today.
Several good hitters went to the bat, but
whether they will score or not remains to be
demonstrated later. Representative Tucker
presented the names of Hamilton Hoge Of
Radford to be consul at Hong Kong and John
Warner of Lexington to be fourth auditor Of the
treasury.
Representative Wise presented the appica-
ton of ". T. Daniels of Richmond to be consul
at Colon.
Representative-elect Marshall Of Virginia
suggested Mr.. J. r. Jordan of Radford to be
marshal OF the western district.
Representative-elect Tyler filed the papers
and Endorsements of Capt. E. NJ. Henry, who is
an applicant for the Norfolk postmsstership.
WEST VIRGINIA EDITOR.
Senator Faulkner and Representatives Alder
son and Pendeton Of West Virginia had an au-
dience with the President about Editor ]. b
fancy of the Wheeling Register, whom they
are urging for appointment as consul at Liver
pool.
At II O'Clock the cabinet met and no more
callers were received.
MAY BE COMMISSIONERS OF PENSIONS.
1t is reported that Judge Locheran of Mime
sofa. whose name has been under consideration
by the President In the lis. OF avalabes for the
pension commissioEership, has been requested
to come to Washington and that his chances for
appointment to that position are good.
FRACTIONAL FIGHT IN NEW MEXICO.
1t is likely that outsider may be appointed
governor OF New Mexico. although it will be no
fault of the Presidents if a departure is made
from the home rule principle in territorial ap-
pointnents.
lively factional fight is progressing in the
territory of the candidates for governor. Dele
gate Joseph has recommended Capt. Eads,
while j. II. Crist. chairman of the central COM
mittee of the territory. favors Judge Thornton.
The contest is SO active between the factions
that the President has suggested that he will
select resident of the states to fill the posi-
ton.

to Mexico, called on President Cleveland this
morning Mr.. Gray will leave his home in
