HUMOROUS STATESMEN.
A Few OF the Notable Great Men of
Congress.

Private John Allen, who represents
humor in the democratic party in the
house of representatives of congress,
has put himself early into evidence in
the debates of that body. Champ Clark,
of Missouri, who was out of the last
congress, but is again elected to this
one, has not yet made an appearance
as a speaker. The democrats apparent
ly get all their funny men from the
south. Perhaps they have too hard
work to be elected from the north to
find time for joking. The republicans
do not elect so many funmakers. Sem
ator Mason, of Illinois, used to appear
in this role when in the house, but he
finds no field for it in the senate. Speak
err Reed raised more laughs than any
other member when he was on the floor,
but his even was always that Of sar-
casm, and the merriment was over the
squirming of his victims. The nearest
approach that Massachusetts, has made
to a sharp-tongued member for many
years was furnished by the late Gov.
Greenhalge, when he served one term
in congress. His wit was of the classic
order. Quigg, of New York, has made
fellow-members laugh sometimes, but
it has been more often laughing at him
than laughing with him. The humor-
Gus treatment of public questions is less
prevalent in congress than it used to
be. 1t is studied, rather than spon-
taneous, humor at the north. as rule,
though Mr.. Reed furnished supreme
exception to it in his day. The peculiar
stumping system OF the south encour-
ages greater freedom Of speech, which
perhaps accounts for its humorists more
than any natural prevalence Of mind
there in that direction. The late Sam
uel S. Cox is said to have regretted that
he INDUCED so much in humor in con-
gress, on the ground that it led to the
belief that he had not the capacity that
was really his for more serious achieve
ment.-Boston Herald.

OFFICERS REFUSED TO
ASSOCIATE WITH HIM.

Washington, October 14-Maior
William F. Tucker, psymaster, who
has been stationed at the headsuar-
ters Of the Department of the Gulf,
was in Washington to day on his
way to Chicago, where he has been
assigned to duty in connection with
the payment Of the volunteers to be
mustered out in the Department Of
the Lakes.
The transfer of Major Tucker has
grown out of an unpleasant incident
which occurred in Atlanta. In q
controversy with hotel proprietor,
it is reported, he was slapped in the
face while in uniform. and failed TO
resent it then or afterward.
This caused complaint to be made
by other army officers stationed al
Atlanta, who requested that Major
Tucker be sent elsewhere, as they
could not associate with such a man.

We had a fine regiment before the

bad. This is the worst country |
ever saw, and it has been terrible on
us. But l want to tell the people
back home that our Lieut.. Colonel,
Harvey Clark is the best man in the
whole army and if all the officers
were as kind and good to the boys as
he is there would be less complaint
in the volunteers. He is one officer
who is not stuck up and who cares
for tke private soldiers. He is always
up at FIVE o'clock, when we get up,
and comes down where we eat to see
that they give us enough, and when
any of US get sick he comes to see US
and buys milk and things we can eat
for US. Ii it was left to the privates
he would be the general of the army,
for he is the best-hearted officer in it.

why ImmiG grants Lam d ed In New orb.
The merchants of New York sent to
the continent of Europe more ships
than the merchants of other cities, who
traded mainly with Great Britain, so
that this city was better known
throughout Europe, and her vessels
were the handiest for emigrants from
France, Germany and Holland. Agents
of the New York merchants and of the
government who were seeking and en-
couraging immigration, could show
that this port was the most advan-
tageous landing-place for a man who
was going on west; and the sea captains
explained that it was the safest and
quickest port to make, because the
course lay south OF the stormy. foggy
region north of Cape Cod, and the city
was much closer to the open sea than
either Philadelphia or Baltimore. AT
any rate, immigration increased in
favor of New York as time went on;
and the stream of incoming people
swelled until in the decade from 1854
TO 1894 it amounted to about half mill
lion of immigrants year, 590,666 ar
irving in 1890 alone, not counting those
