1t may be added, on authority, that
President Crespo will not yield to any

In order to foster this sentiment it is

PUNCH AND JUDY.
The Origin of This Ever Popular Enter
tainment.

The Origin of This Ever Popular Enter
tainment.
Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics of
Punch and Judy, and the mimic the
alter in which their adventures are dis
played still gives amusement to both
young and old. The origin of this al
ways attractive entertainments is not
English, as many Who have enjoyed it
may suppose, but according to an old
book, Punch and Judy are of Italian
ancestry. In the district of Acezza,
near Naples, the people are very much
addicted to the making of wine from
grapes; and it is curious that from
antiquity they have been famous for
their love of droll wit and comic fun.
Many years ago in the season of the
vintage, which is q time when every
body seems to be full of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along
through Acezza. They began to poke
fun at the v;ntagers, and in war of wit
the players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagers
fellow with an enormous red nose,
long and crooked like a powder horn;
and he was the very drollest and wit
test of the whole company, The play
crs were so tickled with his witty say
ings, all set off by his odd face and very
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into Mysteries with laughter.
After they went away they began to
think that this droll fellow would be a
great success to their company; so
they went back and made offers to him.
These he accepted: and such was the
en- of h off f6of ba
acquired great fame and great deal of
money. Everybody went to see this
witty buffoon and all were delighted.
This example led to the establish
ment of droll or buffoon in all COM
panies of comedians; and he was al
ways called after the original one.
whose name was Pucco d'Aniello. This
was, in the course of time, softened into
Polecenello; tie French made it Po-
lichenel, and the English Purchinello.
After a time the English, fer the sake
of brevity, left off the latter part of the
| word, and called it plain Punch.
Hoy Judy originated, history does
not record; but it is very easy to sur
mise her story. Such 4 merry fellow as
Punch had as good n right to 4 wife as
anybody. if he could get one. Why not?
| One might tnlnk that his beet-ll!zc rose
would have stood in his way CT finding
Il woman willing to marry him; but his
wit was an offset to this. Women are
fond of wit, and Punch would have
played his part i'll if he could not have
made it cover his nose.
Now that we have supposed Punch to
have had a wife, and also supposed her
name to have been Judy. what was
more natural than for this amiable
couple, now and then, to have a bit of a
breeze? They lived a wandering life,
and; like other people in their station,
took II little liquor to raise their spir-
its. After the effect was over, feeling a
little peevish, they fell to calling each
other names, and hard blows followed.
So this is their whole history.-Detroit

The Day in the House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Representa-
tive Woodman, of Illinois, today intro
luced a joint resolution directing the
president to intervene in Cuban affairs.
The resolution, after reciting Maceo's
assassination and Spanish cruelties in
Cuba, says the president having failed
to carry out the wishes of the people, the
honor of the United States is at stake,
and history gives no precedent on which
to base hope that tie Spaniards will
consent to compliance with civilized war
fare.
The president is directed to express
severe condemnation of Spanish meth

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.- The senate
committee on Pacific railways today
agreed that in view of the fact that the
mortgages of both the Union and Cen
tral Pacific are now practically due it
was important to secure action by con-
gress at the earliest practicable date.
Senator Morgan was the only senator
present who dissented. He said he did
not desire delay. He expressed the
opinion, however, that further testi-
mony should be taken. He was over
ruled.
The committee decided to ask for a
day for the Sioux City bill Immediately
after the disposal of the immigration
bill and make an effort to get up the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific bills
Immediately after recess, providing SEN
ator White of California has arrived.
The committee agreed not to press these
bills in his absence.

Hale of Maine reported the pension ap-
preparation bill without amendments,
and gave notice that he would call it up
tomorrow. The house concurrent reso-
luton for holiday adjournment from
December % TO January 5, was agreed to.
Morgan of Alabama presented the Gre
dentials of Edmund Winston Pettus as
senator from Alabama for the term be-
ginning March 4 next.
Allen of Nebraska offered resolution
for a committee of nine senators ION tie
use of money in elections" The resolu-
tion directs the committee to thoroughly
investigate the extent to which money
was used in connection with the recent
presidential election, either in promot-
ing nominations or influencing the
choice of presidential electors, and 10
inquire whether such expenditures were
excessive, illegitimate, corrupt of unlaw
full, and to especially inquire and ascer-
tain to what extent for such purposes,
the owners of silver mines, gold mines,
bankers, manufacturers, railroads or
other interpretations and millionaires of
all classes made contributions, and if
contributions we're made by any persons
or corporations residing abroad. The
resolution empowers the proposed COM
mittee to send for persons and papers
and directs that report be made by the
first Monday of December, 1897.
Allen sent to the clerks desk and bad
read several newspaper clippings con-
tanning charges of ifregularity in con-
nection with the recent election. The
resolution was referred to the committee
on contingent expenses, Allen remark
ing that he earnestly desired speedy
report.
The bill validating some New Mexican
bonds, passed and now goes to the presi-
dent.
Morgan of Alabama took the floor to
make a pre-Cuban speech, taxing the
ground that as the president had made
no recommendations and gave no indi-
cation of his Intentions, congress must
assume responsibility on the matter OF
most serious gravity. Morgan used very
strong language concerning the conduct
of the Spaniards IN Cuba, charaCterizing
them as "robbers, cutthroats, assassins,
ravishers and pirates
Morgan closed at 2:lO p. m. The
senate then agreed to his resolution
calling for information on the Com
petitor and other cases.
