 Washington Dispatch to the New York World.

It is of a black thorn root and was brought to this coun- try by Father O'Brien of Hartford, Conn. Arthur Reilly, son of Representative Reilly of Connecticut, presented it to the speaker.
 Three gavels have been pounded into kindlina wood by the gentleman from Missouri, but the Irish members of the House believe that the Killarney wood will hold him.

 There is to be congressional glee club. It is to be primarily a club of secretaries to senators and representatives. Frank F. Maxwell, secretary. to Representative Wood of New Jersey, is the father of the scheme. He has written to every secre- tary of a representative or senator, ask ing him to oil his voice and join. From the Indianapolis Star.
 Senator John Kern of Indiana tells this story about his predecessor, the late Senator Dan Voorhees:
 "Voorhees frequently made the claim that more democrats than republicans had been enrolled from Indian in the Union army during the civil war On one occasion he made the assertion in connection with a speech in Sullivan county
 T guess anybody will admit that con siderably more than half the people who went in the Union army from Sullivan county were democrats" he declared with emphasis.
 A democrat down in one of the front rows had taken a drink or two before he came to the meeting, and he confirmed Voorhees, statements.
 "Yes; it's true,'' he shouted. "Gol darn It, they drafted us.''
