in which he threw sweetly scented bou-
quets at the gentleman. Mr.. Snyder
made a graceful acknowledgement and
was cheered loudly.
Mr.. Swain was the man who gave
Judge Reynolds his gift, and the latter
expressed his gratitude in a befitting
manner.
1t was a fitting finale to a session

scenes. The utmost felicity prevailed.

and everybody laughed, including the
judge, who enjoys joke and who also
can give as well as receive one. Spea-
ker Reynolds eye lighted on a stack of
bills foot high and Mr.. Cummings of
