With tears streaming down his cheeks
and shaking with emotion, the stately
and aged soldier bowed to the COM

His election followed one of the
stormiest sessions of the Confedera-

call After Mobile, Houston, Nash

in-chief of the United Sons of Con-
federate Veterans, secured the floor
and introduced Congressman T. u.

thought Sisson was to spring a dark

that the young congressman merely
desired to make a speech, the dele

declared:

still rebels and we will die as rebels. .
Then pandemonium broke loose. It
was difficult to tell whether the ma
jority favored her senteiments or op.
posed them. Cheers mingled with cat
calls and Kisses, and above all rever-
berated the ear-splitting rebel YELL
Mr.. SisSon's speech was received
with mingled cheers and Kisses, and
many Confederates left the hall in dis
gust. Others crowded around him and
swamped him with congratulations.

based upon the idea of securing hens
for laying purposes during the summer
months.
Not in several months has Washing
ton been as much Of poultry trading
center as IN the past few DAYS Ii fre-
Cuently happens that fowls are shipped
INTO the city, remain cOoped for a fev-
hours. and are then bought and sent
ba ek into the country.
An instance of this kind occurred
only recently, when a commission ner-
chant received two coOps Of hens from,
riverside, and within two hours sold
them 10 a resident OF the same place
who lived only a short distance from
the original shipper. The freight on
the TRANSFORMATION Of the fowls 10 and
