was seen rushing up the stairs leading
to the Senate chamber, hat in hand,
and out of breath.
AS soon as he reached his desk, he
pointed his long, bony finger at the
president, who was mounting the plat
form leading to his desk, and shouted,

The real cause for the adjournment
lay, no doubt, to the fact that the
Senators will draw their first INSTALL

have a good time on that amount for
a day or two. a
