To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
There was one unlntentional omission
in the article which you published with
the above caption last sunday-viz., that
Of General Joseph L. Johnston. as dele
gate in Congress from the Richmond Dis
trict. He was too conspicuous in our
history TO be left out
Your printers said that Mr.. John s..
Wise was elected a delegate at large.
whilst waiting for disappointment" IL
was written whilst waiting for reappor~
tionment. The State was entitled, by
the census to another member Of Con-
gress; but the reapportionment had not
been made.
In speaking Of p. Johnson Barbour, IL
might have been added that his father,
besides being Governor OF Virginia and
Secretary OF War under President j. q.
Adams, was a member OF the upper
house OF Congress- and Minister to Eng
land. His style as a speaker was rather
grandiloquent but he used it with so
much ease and felicity that he was a very
effective orator. lie once told me that
"Old Dur Green had dubbed him the
Duke OF Empty Barrels" and he laughed
az II, ~ Dun Green's foolishness.
I heard Mr.. Webster's great speech
here, from the southern portlco OF the
Capitol. under that october sun, In Isle.
Governor James Barbour spoke that e.
ternoon from n platform on the other
side OF the Capitol. and IN three quarters
OF an hour made deeper impression and
aroused more enthusiasm than Nr Web
ster had done. His brother, Philip p,
was also IN Congress. and Speaker, be-
fore he was appointed 20 the bench Of
the United States Supreme Court.
There was In Congress another Bar
bour, John =, n kinsman OF theirs. who
was fine speaker and noted for his ele-
CANT conversational powers He was
the father of the gentleman who be-
came 50 wen known I'm Virginia as a le-
gislator, a railroad officer. and chairman
of the State Democratic Committee.
When he died he was one Of the senator's
Of the United States from Virginia.

could never have held to its teachings

could never agree TO their doctrines OF

Many OF my friends are now indie

can be any middle ground between the

Her Chronic Comnlaint.

In southern Kentucky town dwells
young man gifted in candor as well as
perspicacity. He is married man, with
Il young family. His mother, who had
been married twice and has two SETS of
children, recently, in a handsome old
age, was welded the third time to an
elderly but gallant gentleman who had
been married three times and also DOS
sessed several proofs of offspring. Nat
urally this unique marriage created
much lively comment in the little com
munity where it occurred, and one day
an interested and investigating dame
met the married son on the street and
pumped at him this frank query:
Robert, 1 was astonished to know
that your mother had married again.
what on earth made her do such a
thing?"
Il dunno, rs frankly answered the
son with 4 gesture Indicating his genial
tolerance of the mysterious ways of
women. Il reckon she just got one o.
her marryin spells. "-LouisviAe Cou-

''They've found it out" said Alder
man Percy Pulsifer, the reformer.
What" asked Tom
That I'm to be married, 4" replied
Percy
What of it," inquired Tom.
What CT it'' exclaimed Percy.
"Why, hang it! the entire gang Of al
dermen expect to come TO the wedding Z"
Then you'd better get few dozen
books on etiquette and distribute them
around, " suggested Tom. "a combina-
ton Of trousers with a big check on
them, Powered vest and dress coat
would attract a good deal of attention
and some unfavorable comment, you
know.
But 1 don't want them there at
all, " protested Percy.
Then don't invite Them, said Tom
THAT won't do any good. They'll
come anyway. Why, Tom, they're even
talking Of attending i'll body and max
ing regular civic function of it. l be-
lieve they've already told the sergeant
alarms to get three gross of white cot
ton gloves, so that they will have
enough left to do duty at all aldormanic
funerals for the next five years. ~
You'll have to brighten them off
some way" said Tom, beginning to
look serious
But how" asked Percy "They've
been congratulating me for the last
three days, and l am told that they have
been chipping i'll TO get Il wedding pres
ent. What do you suppose they will
gct?"
We'll, it'll be something that is ex-
pensive, answered Tom, but it's hard
TO say Just what form it will take. Pos
sibly 1T may be diamond studded
slungshot. -
Or gold mounted revolver, " inter
jected Percy.
Yes, it might be that" admitted
Tom consolingly, "but 1 hardly think
1t would be quite so warlike. They
might see the appropriateness Of that,
even If they are aldermen. If were in
your place, L would rather expect to get
a silver pocket flask or some poker chips
with your monogram on them.
But wedding present is for the
bride, protested Percy.
Very true" returned Tom, land
you may explain that to them if you
wish, but wouldn't advise you to dc
It, 1t would probably only induce them
to put lnr initials instead Of yours OH
the poker chips
Il wonder if I couldn't get her to
eiope. y said Percy gloomily, land so
avoid all this trouble"
oh! there's an easier way than
that, y replied Tom. You leave it to
me and I'll fix it"
