Washington, made the first hit Of the
season by a new member. Cushman
is only 80 years old, yet he has lived
in four states. Born and educated in
Iowa, he was a cowboy at 16 in Wyo-
ming, lawyer in Nebraska at 81. re-
moving to Tacoma, in Washington, at
a.. At 81 he beat James Hamilton
Lewis, the democratic shooting star
of the last congress, on gold stand
ard platform. Hence he is a repub-
lican of purest ray serene. He came
to Washington heralded as the Abra-
ham Lincoln of the Pacific slope. And
he looks the part That is, he looks
as Lincoln probably did at Cushman's
age. He is tall, lank and as homely
as rail fence. He is fluent and forci-
BILE of speech and humorous withal.
Without this latter quality he would
be dismal failure as Lincoln re-
sembler. But he has the saving grace
of humor.

Pretty Ancient Ceremony

One, part of the wedding ceremony
among the Babylonians was very sig
nificant. The priest took a thread from
the garment of the bride, and another
from the garment of the bridegroom.
and tied them into a knot, which he
gave to the bride. This is probably the
origin Of the modern saying about ty.
ing the knot in regard to marriage.

tom. He blew a horn and to all appear
ances wished that he was doing some
thing else instead.
The quartet ranged themselves in as
much of a circle as they could compass
and struck up popular IRA gtime" air,
whereupon the barber came out of his
shop, two doors down the street, and
stood with his hands under his white
apron, listening apprecia lively, Tony
Baicek, the little Bohemian butcher,
had to come out, too, and he was so en-
tranced by the melody that customer
had to ask him what chickens were
worth twice before he would pay any
attention.
1t was remarkable thatswhile the lit
tie girls in the crowd seemed to en-
ioy the music to certain extent, they
were not nearly as enthusiastic as they
were when the italian came around
with his organ. The boys, on the other
hand, touched by the virile tones of the
big horns, formed in serted columns,
four or five strong, and strutted up and
down or else staggered singly about
the sidewalk, whereas they stood aloof
in an attitude of dignifed superiority
when the trivial feminine element
danced to the ripping allegro of the
mechanical piano. It is certain. too.
that neitherthe barber, the butcher nor
the grocer would have taken any no.
tice of the organ, they would have
tolerated itand that is all.

Ice covers the river from this city TO
Maryland Point, a distance of fifty miles
Between Washington and Alexandria the
Ice Is in some places packed two feet and
more in depth, and the steamer Columbia
which Is the only ferry boat running takes
nearly three hours to make the round trip.
The steamer Harry Randall arrived last
night from the lower river, and reports
the ice very heavy from Indian Head, five
hours being required TO cover the distance,
which is ordinarily made in two hours.
She has been temporarily withdrawn from
the route
The little mail steamer Estelle Randall.
which has been making her daily trips to
and from Glymont, Nd, started out this
morning, as usual, but at Fort Foote, in
backing into the hard ice to get away from
the wharf she broke her propeller wheel,
and another steamer of the line has been
sent to her assistance
The steamer Wakefield, which left here
yesterday at 30 pm, is still down the
river. but is expected some time this even
ing or tonight. On her arrival she will
also be withdrawn from her route.
The Mt. Vernon steamer Chas. Manchester
is lying tied up at her wharf, having made
no trips since Saturday last.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad tug is
kept running night and day in order to
keep an open track for the railway ferry
transferring cars from Shepherds to Alex
andria on their way south.
There is little prospect Of the river being
open for a week or more, for when the
mass of ice now on the river starts to
move, it will be doubly diff7cult for the
steamers to get through 1t.
