A spRINrING CONGRESSMAN.
Gen. Grosvenor Works Of His Exuberance
 in the House Corridors.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Joy entered the soul of General Grosyenor of Ohio when the big republican vote on civil service was announced.
 The ohioan praneed about the house like a two-year-old There was a firmer tone in his voice as he saluted the civil service advocates. Finally he pranced out into the rear lobby, where the young son of Repre- sentative Thadeus Mahon of Pennsylvania was playing.
 "Can you run, my lad?" inquired the white-haired veteran.
 ''Yes, sir" replied the boy, rather sur prised.
 T will enter race with you for the length of this lobby and back again." pro- posed the general.
 Down the long stretch of the lobby tore the portly statesman in his Prince Albert, and the youth in knee trousers. The con- gI essional bystanders glanced in with some alarm through the glass door, lest Speaker Reeds wrath might be brought down upon the athletes Turning for the home stretch, General Grosvenor's white locks flew along behind his wel-shaped head. The boy dug the dust out of the carpet and won the first heat by a full yard.
 'I will run you another" panted the gen. eral, and away the two flew for another trial of speed. General Grosvenor, like man who had got his second wind fairly flew, and Master Mahon fell behind before they returned to the starting point. Seyeral times again they ran, but the racing was nip and tuck, and neither is yet satisfied that the other is the swifter.

 Birmingham. January 17.-The opposition between New York and Chicago to which we called attention yesterday was prom- nently in evidence today. Cables were x to % lower which encouraged the local crowd into selling, and also caused realizing sales from the other faction. The opening was tsc lower with local crowd selling. North west and Chicago receipts were liberal. and clearances showed a decrease This was was used for all 1t was worth. There was some buying against put" privileges, but not sufficient to storm the selling. and the market declined F cent further, or 1 cent a bushel from yesterdays closing There Is evidently a- short interest accommodating, which will sooner or later be a bull argu- ment.
