private" Joh1 Aliens Successor.

Representative Gambler, who succeeds
Private" John Allen from the Tupelo dis
trict of Mississippi, is making very sue
cessful effort TO equal his predecessor as
a genuine humorist. His speech during
the recent consideration OF the river and
harbor bill was gem which will go a
long way toward maintaining the reputa-
tion to which he aspires. He offered an
amendment for the improvement of the
Tombigbee River, which was, OF course
defeated. but it gave Mr.. Gambler an op-
portunity to show what he can do toward
entertaining the House. Il have talked
so much about that river" said Mr.. Can
dler. that now when | walk through The
corridors of the Capitol my fellow mem
bers say: There goes Tombigbee.' But
as long as l remain here shall talk
Tombigbee until the word is emblazoned
on these historic walls. This is one Of
the Oldest rivers in the country"
Mr.. Thompson of Alabama wanted 10
know how old the river really was, and II
it was older than the Coosa in Alabama.
In his reply Mr. Gambler incidentally told
how he came to win his wife. although
the introduction of that subject might
seem foreign to a discussion regarding
the Improvement of river.
you can't get me TO say anything
against Alabama said Mr.. Gambler, be
cause the best, the noblest the sweetest
possession | have in the world is my wlle'

her TO leave that great State and remove
TO Mississippi and one of the chief in
ducements was that she would be near

The speech was highly amusing one.
and the Mississippian's peroration was
the following mixture of pathos and hu-

The richestiilands Of the Tombigbee

Rights of the Negro.

1T looks as if it could as truly be said
of the negro today, as at the time of the
bred Scott decision, that he has no rights

marked the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Kentucky Judge d. b. L. Guffy,
who is a guest OF the Shoreham

he continued who now admit that the

An Illustrated Directory.

The story is being circulated about the
Capitol corridors that hereafter that in
dispensable, instructive. and entertain
ing publication, the Congressional Di-
rectory. is to appear with illustrations.
Members have been requested TO pose for
their photographs, and upon enquiry have
heen Informed that their pictures are
to be printed in the Directory alongside
the glowing accounts of their political
careers embraced in the autobiographical
sketches which the Directory contains.
Heretofore the only illustration which
has been published in the volume is d
rather well-executed engraving Of the
Capitol as a frOntispiecc TO the book.
But tine Joint Committee on Printing is
nothing if not progressive. and it intends
that the volume which it publishes shall
be even more Indispensable in every Ii
brary than it now is, If a pictorial edition
can make it so.
1t is believed that the seraDhic smile
Of Senator Depew the cherublc face of
Senator Bailey. the classic cOuntenance
of John Wesley Gaines and the handsome
features of Representative Foss and
Others will greatly improve the book. At
any rate members have received notice
to sit for their pictures. and have been
told that they would appear in the Direc-
tory.

Totally Depraved, and Growing Worse.

Totally Depraved, and Growing Worse.
Senator Gallinger was reminded of a
story during his speech on the oieo bill
the other day. Mr.. Money in his speech
characterized the bill as ''unconstitu-
tional. unjust, immoral, and dishonest"
Mr.. Gsliinger said he wondered that Mr..
Money had not added that it is wicked,
cowardly cruel. and abominable.
Mr.. Gallinger went on to say that it had
occurred to him that the Senator from
Mississippi had not done justice to the
bill with his adjectives.
Then he was reminded of his story: 'As
the learned and distinguished Senator pic
tured the wickedness OF the proposed leg
isIation ! was reminded OF the good old
woman who said that her boy was totally
depraved, and growing worse every day.
