When Mr.. Allen begins TO give evil
dence Of going under control, " as the
spiritualists say, you viii see Mr.. Glib
son sneak out Of his desk a pamphlet on
the care and cultivation of the terrapiD
and a speech that he is preparing, in
which he urges that in the next Demo-
cratic platform plank shall be inserted
suitable for preparing the planked shad.
When Mr.. Allen begins on one Of mis-
speeches, which is really equivalent TO
an extra session, one may notice the
pages beginning TO seek long needed rest
on the pedestal at the foot of the presi-
dents desk, and Senator PETER buttons
his beard inside his vest ready to start
forth into the cool, crisp air.
1t is the general impression that, hard
as times are now, they are going to be
worse before they are better, and yet
congress has already taken notice Of the
fact that times are hard. Individual
hard times cannot be fixed by legisla-
ton, but national hard times under ex-
listing circumstances are inexcusable.

lating certain improvements and then
refusing appropriations necessary 70

see you Tor an order, sir. TO carry out
her wishes.
"Well, my friend" said the polite
colonel, 81 would be glad to aid you in
this case; but, You see, the height Of the
monument is so great that an ordinary
shot dropped from the top would by the
force of its own gravity pierce three
inch plank at the bottom Of the struc-
ture. Now, you see, there are always
about the grounds more or less visitors,
and they are most generally looking up
toward the top of the monument. Nat
urally their curiosity causes them TO
open their mouths at the same time, for
they imagine that they can see better III
that way. Now, it would be exceedingly
unpleasant under those circumstances
for a visitor to get mouthful of your
wife
However, he said thoughtfully,
"there is no such rule regarding the
dome of the capitol. You might 60 up
there and set her adrift Then, if she
happened to descend upon a new mem
Der of congress and inspire him with an
uncomfortable desire TO make few re-
marks, il would not startle any one"
The following day lonesome man
came down the steps of the capitol with
the air of ono who has performed duty
and tossed an empty tin can over into
the shrubbery with a sigh of relief.
Last Thursday stepped into barber
shop on Pennsylvania avenue TO get
shaved and gos into a little discussion
with a stranger regarding some Of the
statuary at the capitol We warmed up
considerably regarding the matter, and
especially on the subject of the heroic
statue of Washington and the allegor-
ical subjects introduced. We were both
getting into pretty deep water. So TO
get out of the discussion without hui
initiation l turned TO young colored
man in the shop. and asking him TO help
me on with my coat / said, with
roguish twinkle of the eye:
George, what do you say about this
allegorical business on the left of Wash
ingten's chair? This man says it means
peace and war. and / say that the two
figures represent before and after using
the institutions OF freedom.
The colored gentleman smiled in a
dignified way, helped me on with my
coat and said: Certainly, IL you are IN
earnest about il, can tell you The two
figures represent the infant Hercules
and his feebler twin brother. Hercules
is strangling the serpent. while Iphiclus,
the brother, shrinks from the contest
The two figures represent the genii Of
North and South America On the back
of the chair IN which Washington sits
is inscribed, 'Simulacram istud sd Mag
num Libertatus exsmplun nee sine ipSa
duraturum-Horafio Greenough faSie-

X declined the quarter, and l was
told afterward that he was the coiored
member OF congress waiting for shave.
Senator Morgan is making q strong
effort to send the negro to Liberia and
there has been good deal OF discussion
here in Washington during the winter
regarding It, but do not think there Is
any chance for success in that direction.
The negro is now as much an American
as any other foreigner. He has been here
as long, and he is identified with our
history.
He does not claim to be the equal of
the white man, but ne says 1t Will keep
rs pretty busy to send him and his folks
back TO Africa when there are over 500
cunning little pickaninnies coming into
the world every day on American soil.
/ interviewed IL the interests Of the
reader the other day a colored clergy
man in Washington regarding this ques-
ton. He says that the negro is here TO
stay. He is pleased with the country. He
is like the drunken man who woke up
in the midst of gay dancing hall where
he had been placed during the day by
friends.
When reproached by the floor COM
mittee for throwing his hat in the air
and with no remembrance Of having
ever come there, he said, by blanky
blank, l did not come here, and, ~

1t is so with the coiored brother. He
came here rather against his wishes, but
he is pleased with the mean temoera-
ture, mean annual rain fall, mean hu-
mildly and mean annual watermelon, so
he is going to remain.
Invent up to the senate chamber again
yesterday TO hear Mr. Allen of Nebras-
ka. He is known as the man with the
greatest powers of endurance of any
known public speaker in the civilized
world.
When was student at Yale-just
before my expulsion-I had several
ohums who were quite noted IN their
way, but have watched vainly for their
names upon the imperishable scroll Of
fame. One could write the Lords Prayer
on cent. One could stay under water
longer than any one else in the college,
and another could wiggle one ear with
out moving the other one.
Mr.. Allen possesses the remarkable
gift of being able to occupy the atten-
ton of stenographer without giving
birth to thought. He is the man who
held the floor so long at one time with
out feed or water When he secures the
floor, other senators may be seen NOV
ing stealthily toward the door. Even the
galleries thin out, and soon oil that IS
heard is the growth of the deficiency.
Mr.. Allen was absent some time as an
official mourner at the grave Of Mr.. Post
in January. The senate thought that
would be a good way to dispose of him,
but since that he has been more eager to
speak pieces in the senate than ever be-

temptation may come upon us even in

IN his declining years that he might be
led away from the path Of rectitude by
T. mere stripping. Secure in his glorious
past, he was practically kidnapped in the
October of his life and before he could
communicate with his parents his Ca
reer was wrecked, and that which to
him was more dear than fame or fortune
was no more.
A woman under such circumstances
could go upon the stage and begin

warn the thoughtless statesman here in
Washington how insecure ne is, and to
impress upon him the fact that when
ever it is possible he should bring his
parents here with him.
