 Iwent up to tho 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 a student at Yale-just before my expulsion-I had several chums who were quite noted in their way, but have watched vainly for their names upon the imperishable scroll of fame. One could write the Lord Prayer on Q 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.
 Mir. Allen possesses the remarkable gift of being able to occupy the atten- l tion of stenographer without giving birth to thought. He is the man who held the floor so long at one time with
 
 floor. ether senators may be seen mov- | ing stealthily toward the door. Even the I galleries thin out, and soon all that is heard is the growth of the deficiency. | MT. Allen was absent some time as an | official niOurncr at the grave of MT. Post | in January The senate thought that would be good way to dispose of him, but since that he has been more eager to | speak pieces in the senate than ever be- fore
 When Mir. Allen begins to give evil dence of going under control, :" as the spiritualists say, you will see Mir. Gib- son sneak out of his desk pamphlet on the care and cultivation of the terrapin and speech that he is preparing, in which he urges that in the next Demo- cratic platform plank shall be inserted suitable for preparing tho planked shad.
 When Mir. Allen begins on one of his 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 Peffer buttons his beard inside his vest ready to start forth into the cool, crisp air.
 It is the general impression that, hard as times are now, they are going to be worse before they arc better, and yet congress has already taken notice of the fact that times are hard. Individual hard times cannot be fixed by legisla tion, but national hard times under ex isting circumstances are inexcusable-
 It is the samo old story, too, of legis lating certain improvements and ther refusing appropriations necessary tc carry them out. It is like insurance One set of polite men take your risk, anC totally different and hard hearted se of men refuse to adjust your loss.

No Groond.

A professor who used to teach the grandfathers of the present generation of students objected to the pronunciation of ''wound' as if it were spelled 'woond, and his students used to hunt for chances to make him explain his ob- jections One day he stopped student who was reading to the class and said, "How do you pronounce that word?' "Woond, sir" The professor looked ugly and replied. II have never foond any groond for giving it that soond. Go on. ."-Household Words.

IT is a toss-up whether congress will, during Its remaining week of life, make the immediate calling of an extra session necessary. It can do tlis by the adoption objectionable amendments to the regular appropriation bills, or by failure to pass one or more of the regular appropriation bills, President Cleveland will certainly veto any appropriation bill with objection able amendments tackled to it, and there is no question that several of those which::a are pending belong to the objectionable class There is an enormous lot of work yet to be done to get the appropriation bills through. and some of the proposed financial amendments will be certain to cause bitter and more or less extended debate. which will leavo just that much less time for solid work. There is no good reason why any of the appropriation bills should fail. and if any does it will be the result of put-up job. and the republicans dread an early extra session too much themselves to engage in that sort of thing just now. But in congress there are others

piano solo, "Weeping and
Smiling" a waltz, which was
beautifully executed by Mrs. j.

were so much pleased with this
piece that they insisted on an

another pretty piece. The dis

the usual pleasure and interest.
This concluded the regular

being in every respect a most
successful affair. Forty mem
bers were present, all seeming
to enjoy the evening most
heartily. The program opened
with a quartette "Sweethearts

sion. A recitation "Black Ron
ald' was next very well render
ed by Miss Wreford.
Now came the chief feature
of the evening. a debate on the
question, Resolved that old
bachelors shall be taxed for the
of old maids" Miss
Annie Russell open ed the de-
bate with an argument that
was very gracefully written
and rendered with equal grace,
containing some 20 werful argu-
ments in favor of taxing selfish
old bachelors for the support
of the unfortunate sisterhood
of spinsters. This should have
been followed by an argument
by Joe Kowalski, but Joe failed
to show up in defense of his
sex, so the second argument on
the ladies' side was presented
by Miss Alice Terrell, who pro
duced some sound logic and
scored several excellent points
in favor of the weaker sex. Her
essay was read in clear and
forcible style. Rennie Creager
then took the floor to prove
that old bachelors were a badly
abused class, and that as they
were not single blessedness ~
in which they are condemned
to pass their lives, it would
be most unjust to tax them for
the support of old maids. His
argument was delivered with
out manuscript, except a few
notes for reference, and was GER
tainly moust creditable effort.
Ridicule, that most powerful
of all weapons, was used most
effectively by the young cham
pion of old bachelorhood. His
case was indeed well present
ed. He left the decision in the
hands of lis audience, with the
declaration that there are no
old maids anyway, defying
his fair opponents to produce
a specimen. A vote of the
society was then taken result
ing in a verdict for the mega
tive, ID votes being cast on the
