E3 A PERSISTENT SPARROW.
A Little Bird That Insisted on Visit
ing the Senate Chamber.

A Little Bird That Insisted on VISIT
ing the Senate Chamber.
The senate wing of the capitol had
such a deserted air. says the Washing
ton Star, that a fresh young sparrow
though he would investigate its
depths. Windows were open wide and
through one Of these the ventrresome
little bird few landing dazed and be-
wildered on the tiled floor Of the mar
BILE room, on the north side. After get
ting his bearings, he took flight once
more and fluttered out into the dark
lobby, and took refuge on the frame of
the glass partition at the west end.
Here he was discovered by Captain
Bassett, who got the long pole with
which he monkeys occasionally with
time, and rooted the feathered visitor
from his perch. One Of the pages grab
bed the bird, but it squirmed out Of his
hand and darted into the senate cham
Der and did not stop until it had reach
ed that most sacred Of precincts, the
diplomatic gallery. 81. .. r.
Here he rested until lively page ran
upstairs and entered the public gallery,
whence he climbed over the rail into
the space reserved for the foreigners.
The sparrow took fright at his ap-
proach and flew aimlessly about the
chamber, while half dozen of the
boys chased hither and thither to cap
ture him. At last one of them, a
sturdy little South Carolinian, who is
famous for his political opinions and
his great appetite, got the intruder and
bore him to the window. He opened
his little fist and the bird flew off,
made sweep to the northeast and
darted at last through an open win
dow into the Office of the sergeant-at-
arms. He alighted on the rug in front
Of Colonel Bright's desk with CHEEKY
"peep' and settled himself for stay.
He was not to be kept out of the capt.
toll He was an American bird though
of English extraction, and he belonged
to the great body polite. He defed
the statutes and insisted upon his
rights. But he was doomed to disap-
pointment, for he was soon run into a
corner and taken into custody by Cap
tain Garden who achieved distinction
last evening by dispensing 200 people
by means Of twenty second Grafton.
The captain valiantly hustled the bird
out Of the window, and the disappoint-
ed sparrow sailed off to a bit of shrub
berry and sat. there for a long time,
wondering whether he would tackle
large fat worm that was slumbering
on the ground just beneath him or 20
| out to Bladensburg and join the ranks
of the commonweal. Finally he de-
cideG to be sensible and the worm dis
