the proceedings in the United States

THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.

1t doesn't shy at papers
AS they blow along the streets;
1t cuts no silly capers
On the dashboard with its feet;
/ doesn't scare at shadows as man
hitching post;
It doesn't scare at shadows as a man
would at a ghost;
1t doesn't gnaw the manger,
1t doesn't waste the hay,
Nor put you into danger
When the brass bands play,
1t makes no wild endeavor
To switch away the fiiesl
1t sheds no hair that ever
Gets in your mouth and eyes;
1t speeds along the highways and never
looks around
For things that 1t may scare at and spill
you on the ground!
1t doesn't mind tho circus,
It's not al all afraid
And 1t doesn't overwork us
When the elephants parade>
1t doesn't rear and CULVER
When the train goes rushing by;
1t doesn't stand and SILVER
When the little snowfakes ny.
1t doesn't mind the thunder, nor the light
ning's blindig fash;
1t doesn't keep you chipping and connect
ing with the lash;
1t never minds the banners
They display on holidays;
It's Thing of proper mannerA
Which it shows in many wayA
When you chance to pass it's stable
You do not have to care
Or cluck for all you are able
To keep from stopping there!

porter of General Grout for the Senator

the very stale suggestion of the Demo-
cratic Poultney Journal that W p. Dill

rs Representative in Congress. This
t"heme Will not work, the suggestion is
very old, and the answer was long ago
made that Mr.. Dillingham; is not a candi-
aate for Representative in Congress-
would not under any circumstances be-
come candidate and would not accept
nomination if it should be rendered him.
