CONGRESS AGAIN.

The last session OF the Ftfty-third
congress assemblies tomorrow. Like
the boy who tickled the mules hind

some as II used 10 be. but It will have
heap more sense than IL had n year
ago when Il met flushed with victory
and careless OF the future. Now II IL

pened. but will get right down to bust
ness on the first day, it may do some
thing In the last three months OF its
lie 10 justify itself in history, a thing
1t has not done up to date.
Little work Of Importance can be done
in the short time allotted for the ses-
sion, as any radical measures OF legis-
lation affecting the currency, undoubt-
edly would be talked to death in the
senate that ponderous body having no
sense OF the value OF time. no previous
questions to shut of debate. and little
respect for public opinion.
a press dispatch says: "over twenty
1--WE members Of congress, 1t Is said,
have written letters TO the sergeant-at-
arms at the house asking that their
mileage for this session be forwarded
to them. as they do not wish TO come TO
Washington this winter. Replies have
been sent that no mileage can be paid
to members except those who actually
attend the session Of congress. In
nearly every instance the request has
been preferred by a defeated member.
and Il indicates a small attendance of
such members at the short session this
winter"
VIII the press dispatches kindly fur
nish us the names OF these frauds? Who
are the congressman who propose TO
shlrk the duty they were elected to per-
form and draw their pay for travel not
undertaken? Surely, these fellows en-
countered the tidal wave none too soon.

Farraxut.s Personal Appearance.

Farragut had never been seen by the
crew, and Jacks curiosity on the subject
was considerably aroused. He came along
side In a shore boat, alone and unan-
nounced, ascepded the starboard gangway
ladder with a light, active, springy step
and nervous manner, shook hands with
the officers, glanced along the spar deck
and up aloft, raised his uniform cap,
which was inoased I'm a glazed cover, as he
gained the quarter deck, over which float
ed the stars and stripes, and disappeared
In his cabin.
Captain Farragut was at this time %
years of age, SO OF which had been spent
afioat I'm the service of his country. He
was below the average height and light In
figure, weighing about 1870 pounds, and
smooth shaved. The top OF his head was
quite bald, which fact he tried to conceal
by combing side hair across it or, a. the
sailors termed II, by "making the after
guard perform topmen's duty" His man
ner was dignified but unassuming, his fes-
lures were pleasant In expression, but
could darken and frown ominously on 90
casions. He wore the plain uniform Of
captain, the frock coat Of which was but
toned at the termination OF the lapel. II
was a popularity Of Fsrragut's that he
would allow his coat TO fly open, and only
on special occasions would he button II,
o. regulations demanded, and then only
for a few moments.--New York Adver-

Yiahnu and the MaharaiAh.

Very few people know what the Dussa-
ra means. 1t is said to commemorate the
residence Of the god Vishnu upon earth,
which he takes up for six days only-cu-
riously excluding Sundays-in the person
of the maharajah Of Mysore. This is not
such a high time for the maharajsh a.
one would imagine, since he Is not allow
ed to speak or shave or eat anything but
plantains and rice during the period OF
his divinity. Let us hope that high think
ing accompanies this low living. A corre-
spondeDt of The Globe went to see him one
day when thus defied and seems to think
that, on the whole, he did not like 1t. It
Is indeed an extreme case OF having great
ness thrust upon one. The coming down
to be mere maharajah again must be .
terrible drop-worse than Cincinnatus go
ing back TO his plow or lord mayor to his
commercial business. One ventures to
wonder, too, how Vishnu likes It. But
none Of these considerations seems to occur
to the inhabitants of Mysore.
