Emmy Men In Congress.

Congress always has its funny man.
Sometimes there are two or three. The
funny man Of this house is Private
John Allen of Tupelo. He has held the
position for the past 10 or IL years.
Before him was Sunset Cox, whose
heart was broken because the house
would not take him seriously long
enough to make him speaker. Allen
also has been handicapped by his repu-
tation as a humorist. He is the ablest
man in Mississippi and the best known,
and yet he has never been able to Sc
cure an election to the senate. This Is
Aliens last congress, and so the place
will be vacant soon. 1t will probably
be filled by Champ Clark. When Sena-
tor Mason of Illinois was in the house
of representatives, his reputation was
that of humorist and Nothing else

assure those who seem anxious over
these contests that no Union Republican
members of the Legislature will look upon
any certificate of election with indiffer-
ence, or vote against any mans prima
facia right to his seat in the absence of
plain and infrangible proof of fraud.
We take it that every case of contest
will be openly tried, and the evidence
Submitted to the public as well as to
the Legislature itself. If, in this way,
it can be shown that ballots were falsely
counted, or that electors, sufficient in
number to change the result, were robbed
Of their rights to vote on the day of
| election, we doubt if there be any one
who can have the courage to stand out
and deny the right to a free ballot and
an honest count, and say that seats thus
obtained should go uncontested.

The i-Addicksites are in no way
the keepers of, or responsible for the
Republican conscience of this State; nor
are they by any authority the sole judges
of what is reasonable in politics. The
assumption that they are such keepers

OPINIONS.
LEGISLATIVE CONTESTS
ON the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel
The contest of Hervey Dexter Learned
for the seat of John H. Scotch in the
House of Representatives from the Sec
ond district of this county has stirred
up the ire of both Democratic and Regu-
lar organs alike throughout the State.
1t is but natural for the Democrats to
oppose such proceeding, for by the
contest they may lose representative;
but that is not their only fear. That
which they dread most is the possible
exposure of the frauds, or at least let
us call them irregularities that recount
If the ballots may reveal, and which
the Republicans have known to exist
for years. The Union Republicans wish
TO establish precedent, and with the
evidence in hand believe they can show
that the ballots cast at Leipsic We're not
honestly and fairly counted, and for these
reasons the contest is made. Should a
recount of the ballots show, however,
,hat Mr.. Scotten is entitled to his seat
by Il single vote no one will deny him
of his rights. The contest is not to
count him out, but to prove his honest
election. Why, therefore, should the
Regular Republicans join i'll the howl
the Democrats are making against such
I contest, when that contest is made in
the interest of fairness and the Republi-
ran party? The howl of the Democrats
is to be expected, while the howl of
he Regulars comes from traitors-trait-
ors to the principles Of the party to which
hey profess to belong. And yet, after
all, their protestations against this con-
test are not TO be wondered at, for it
was by their vote that Mr. Scotten was
Elected. However, the contest will pro-
ceed, and should recount show no
change in the returns, Mr.. Scotten will
he seated; if not, Mr.. Learned.

ACTING EXPOSED.
The Art of Seeming to Do Things as
They Are Done In Real Life,

They Are Done In Real Life.
The art Of acting is the art of seeming
TO move, speak and appear on the stage
as the character assumed moves, speaks
and appears in real life under the cir
cumstances indicated in the play.
In that word Seeming" lie nearly all
the difficulties, the intricacies, the tech
nicalities of acting. The writer is assum-
ing no special nor superior wisdom as an
expert" for every actor, from the great
est of them down to the second month
student, knows that the definition we had
first agreed on is inaccurate. Move,
speak and appear as the character does?
Real life? One might as well say that
painters art is to use graystone to rep
resent an old church in Rome instead Of
mere pigments mixed with oil. The paint
er appeals to the eye by artificial, not by
natural, means. So, the actors art is to
make the people in an audience, some of
them 100 feet or more away, think that
he is moving, speaking and appearing like
the character assumed, and in nine cases
out of ten the only way to make them
think this is to be not doing it; to be do
ing something else-something that you
would never dream of unless you were
taught it or learned it from long and
weary experience without teacher.
Nothing can be conceived more abso-
iutely unlike delicate, beautiful and re-
fined woman in drawing room than the
painted young creature, with dark shad-
ows about her eyes and fragrant carmine
on her lips and cheeks, who looks, to her
companion on the stage, like a gaudily
painted wooden doll. She speaks to him
confdentially, three feet away, so that
every man in the back row of the audi
torium can hear what she says; moving
her features in the coquettish byplay of
timid love with the well defined and DOS
tive motions of jumping jack pulled by
a string, If the most graceful and deli
cate of our actresses should carry the

UmbreIlan For Savngea.

Nearly 20 Englishmen are now at
work on seven umbrellas for an Ashan-
tee chief and his faithful staff. There Is
nothing under the sun a chief can
wear, not even excepting a cast off silk
hat or red lined cavalry coat, so cal
culated to strike awe into the minds of
refractory natives and so imbue them
with spirit of obedience as "ging-
ham," Traders when they want to OBJ
tain free access to the country of one
of the hostile tribes make presents of
even "gamp" to particularly obsti-
nate and pugnacious chief. A London
syndicate of Gold Coast traders has
given the order and is paying for the
umbrellas in question, which will be
given to bribe the vain dusky warriors.
When finished, the umbrellas will be
gorgeous beyond the dream of the
most imaginative negro. For the chief
the present will be nearly Is feet
across, quite a decent sized tent. In
fact, on state occasions 1t will be so
used. The handle will then be stuck
in the ground, and six slaves will act
as tent pegs. The material from which
it is being made is silk, and the colors
are to be fred, white and bluew Round
the edge will be deep, rich fringe and
on the top an elaborately chased cap
surmounted by British lion, rampant.
For the staff the umbrellas will be
somewhat smaller and less majestic

This Countersign Filled the Bill.

"War with raw recruits in the be-

amusing experiences" said the old
army officer who saw service in Cuba.
"Now, you couldn't ask for better
soldiers than We had in Cuba; but a
large number of them were new to
the business, and had much to learn,
and, much to their credit, it can be
said that they soon learned it.
Il had occasion to leave our lines
one night soon after we arrived in
Cuba, and upon my return it sud
denly struck me that I. had forgotten
the countersign. I puzzled over it
for sometime; but for the life of me
couldn't recall the word that had
been given out. While I vas think
ing it over I heard the command:
"Halt! Who comes there!'
'Friend,' I answered, thinking
that the countersign would come tx
me in a moment.
"sAdvance,' friend, and give the
countersign,' said the sentry.
"As the countersign had slipped
from me completely, I walked up tx
him and said, sharply:
"'Clll the corporal of the guard?

not come, as the child was much bet
