OLD DAYS IN CONGRESS.
Hon. George ID. Wise, of Virginia, in
Reminiscent Mood.

IT has been many day since the Wash
ington friends of Hon. George S. Wise,
of Richmond, have seen the good-hum-
ored face Of that true virginia gentle
man at the National Capital. and
consequently on his arrival at the Metro
politan he was given a welcome that
amounted TO an ovation Mr.. Wise reprel
scented his people in Congress for twelve
consecutive years. and his record was one
of high usefulness and efficiency.
In recalling his life in Washington,
dating back to the Forty-eighth Con-
gress. Mr.. Wise narrated some interesting
"reminiscences Of the House. "One of the
funniest things that was ever done dur
ing my membership" said he, was by
Hon. Jim Bclden. of Colorado. styled N

after months of delay was finally given

sworn in. and then 10 show how his heart

duCed a resolution to give every surviv-
ing Confederate soldier a pension of :l2
a month 1t is needless to say that not
a solitary yote from either Republicans
or Democrats was cast for the TesolI-
ton, which in no degree abashed Belden.
\ lot of us old 'Confeds. applauded the
proposition in our hearts. but we could
not 60 on record in its favor.
'OC all the funny speeches L ever heard
i'm Congress. one which Maj. Martin. sur
named Old HOWdy. a Texas member. de-
livered took first premium. The old
major. who was an original and some
what eccentric character, had gained con-
siderable nOtoriety by blowing out the
gas i'm his chamber at the old Willard
Hotel. the night Of his first appearance
in washington. Luckily. he was discOV-
cred in time TO obviate his premature de-
mise.
The Mills bill was under discussion in
the House. and night meetings were being
held to give everybody a chance TO talk
The night the Texan was to speak saw
an enormous crowd in the galleries. for
the news that he would declain had been
widely circulated The speaker, after in
Weighing against our taxation system gem
orally. drew a pathetic picture Of a poor
farmer who had bought his home on
credit, and finding himself unable to pay,
was being sold out by the sheriff. The
aucti0neer was crying the effects at pub
lie sale. and one by one the articles were
knocked down-hOrses, wagons, cows
pigs, and finally when everything else
was gone there was put up a coop full Of
chickens. These the good wife had raised
and tended with special care, and 10 see
them sold filed her cup Of misery to over
flowing. Overcome with grief the miser-
able woman approached her husband and
said.
John, in the name Of the merciful
Creator, what is The cause Of all cur mis-
fortunes?

continuity Of serrice Needed.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Whatever may have been the political
necessity of the act fixing the rank OF
Cabinet officers in the possible event of
the Presidential succession, the result
has not been wholly for the good of the
service. The thought of the dignity of
the Office and questions of precedence
have, il is TO be feared, entered too often
into recent Cabinet changes and trans
fers. Promotion is a proper idea to hold
before public servants, but when il oper-
ates so as to destroy continuity of service
20 such an extent as to limit the eff
cheney OF the service rendered, IL be-
comes time TO consider whether the rem
edy has not brought in its train greater
evils than those which it was designed 10
correct.
