Third, that int-nil of receiving boiuls of the LihIh Uook and Fo-t Smith road its a grHtuiiy, I never had one except ut ihe regular market pike; and instead of making a large fortune uir that comptiiv I have inclined a severe pecuniary loss frntn tny invest iiient in iu i-eeurities, which I still re tain; an I out of such kflatrs ax these grows the popular gossip of Urge, for tunes made in Congre-,K. I can hardly expect, Mr. Speaker, that any state ment from me u ill Mop lh work of ihon who have so industriously circu luted these calumnies. Fur mouths past, the effort has been rnetgetie and coii'iuuotis to uprrad these stories in pi ivitte circles.

A Distinguished Colored JJan- - Colonel Tom Chester, a noted color ed man of Louisville, Kentucky, pass ed thruuuh Huutingnn lsst Friday evening on his way home "from Ilarr's burg, where lie had been visiting old friends. Mr. Chester hnaliad a check ered career. Twenty three years ago he a as a soutl ern s'aveand made good his e-capeiuto Pennsylvania. Coming to Harrisburg he entered the family of Simon Cimrrnn ih a menial servant ar.tl by faithfulness secured the old ex .eator's interest. While working here he showed considerable love for papers Hnd books and through Mr, Cauierons generosity ho wbh liberally educnted. Leaving tho United States he settled in Liberia, where he soon lose among the highest in tlh'cial station, being finally sent as the government's repre sentative fiom Russia. From there he went, to London and practiced law in the tpieeiis court in that city. A short time after that he came lo America anil is now president of a large ra'l riad, with heuthiuarters at Louisville Tnis man's caieer is a living argument to prove that study and application can do much for colored man. Concerning Children. It is curious how easily folks change their opinions. Some of my older cluhlred used to hin!c the younger ones were all bad and ought to have lots of whipping, and if they had chil dren they shouldn't do such things, and o forth. Well, they havo got children now children nf their own and they are about as bad as the com mon run, but they don't get any whip ping, and they nre most too precious 10 ha rcolded, and that is always the way, and it is right, too, I reckon, for if the mother was not blind to the faults of her bad children they wouldn't get a good word from anybody. "The little darling is sick or she wouldn't bo so cross." "When he is well he is just as good as he can be." That is modern philosophy; and ro when the child is bad and cuts up and disturbs the gen eral tranquility, it is sick and must have son.o jsrminative or cherry pe.s toral, or somn other bad tasting stuff, and that ge's up more fqnpaliog and does less good than a little do-e of carminative wilh the palm nf the hand on some tender place that was made fur counter irritants. Bill Aip in Atlanta Constitution. Figuring on Tennessee. Representative Houck, of Tennessee is convinced that the state can be ear ried by the Republicans, and gives a good rraon for his belief. Hn th'iiks that a large mnjori'y of the 157,000 vote who have gone to the poll in recent years aro Republicans and that un energetic canvass will bring them out. II n shows Mint if the Republi cans should make in 1881 the fame proportional gain over their vote in 1SS0 that they niado in 18S0 over their vote 1878, they would iqual the Democratic vote of the latter year. But the Democratic vote is likely, for various reasons, to be diminished. The management of the state has disgusted many homst Democrats, and absurd legislation afP-ciing railroads and other agents of pro-pei ity has developed a strong feeling against the party in ower. Tim Republicans promise, if successful, t.i put the state obligations beyond tho reach of uuv repudiating legislature. Make v our homes pleasant. Have vour house warm nnd comfortable fui the winter. Do not build a s ory and a half house. Have books, have pa pers, and read them. You have more leisure than dwellers in cities B-nu lify your grounds with p'ants, flowers and vines. Have good girdens. Le member that everything of beauty tends to the elevation of man. Every little morning glory whose purple bos om is thrilled with the nrmnu kisses of the sun tends to put a blossom in your heart. Do not j'idgn of the value of everything bv the market repoits. Every flower about the house certifies 10 tho refinement of somebody. Every vine, climbing and blossoming tells of love nnd jov. According to a htenogrnphe, the present averaging of speaking in the TJnitfd Stales Semite is about 150 words per minute. Anecdote of Blaine's Boyhood- "When we were boys," said Uncld Totten, "down on the Indian Hill farm, Jim Blaine was a lively chap. H kept the whole township in arms. Once I got even with him-I wai down in the meadow pitching hay. He knew that I was going to do that job, and he went down, there" day or two btfore and fixed one of. the .hay cocks ro it could not be lifted. He ran alongtfwireltbrotigbittin such a way as to hold it together, and then, fastened it under the middle of the stack to a post which he had driven in the ground. Some of tho other boys know abo t the game, and they stood around l-oking kind of sueaking and I smiling a little. I ta kled the doctor ed stack early in the day. I drove my fork into the top, and, spitting on. my hands, bore down upon it. I didn't biu!e. I tried it once more, with a little more stiength, and broke tho fork clean off at the handle. A boy sitting on a rail fence snickered, and I knew something was up.. A mo ment's examination convinced me that the stack was tied dewn, and just then the boy who had laughed pointed in the direction of another stack not far away. I felt iij my bones that Jim Blaine was hiding there. So I crawled up kind of easy, and finding him watching the perfor foruiar.ee on his hands and knees with some of the grass thrown over him. I got behind him and raised him one with my boot. I was mad, and I put a good deal of heft into that kick, fof ht shot out of the stack head first, as if he had been fired from a cannon. It humped him up for a while, I tell you, nud there was a lively scattering among the rest of the boys." Advice to a Boy- m Don't I nitui a boy to have tun!) You bet I do! and, by and by, I'm going to put you up to a dozen differ' ent tlimgs in that lino. But thisj grjbl.ing your hat at alter supper and sneaking out over tho back fence is a mean piece of business, when you coruo to figure it down. Down on the corner you meet Jim this or Tom that. Yoii go "over town" and are seen hanging uiouud this or that place. You may sneak into a saloon to see a game of billiards, but you liatn yoursslf for it. You may fit 'in Smith's grocery and hear a ioi of old bald headed liars spin their yams and ahuso religion, but you go out feeling that you could kick any one of them who dared bow to your mother. You'd go home and go to bed if it wasn't for Jim or Tom. Ha wants a Utile "fun" and .ho you drags vou into it. What ho calls foil is stringing a rope acrois tho sidewalk. It t'oso i't occurr to him that some per son may brake a limb and be put toseV. eral hundred dollurs expense, or evert to be Killed outright. He thinks it a cute thing to roll ofT barrels of salt, barricade ti e bridge, set an old shed 011 lire, or stop up the chimneys on a willow. When you have played such tricks it comps very easy to play others which the law wont look at in the funny light. A large force is now at work push ing up the Washington monument to completion. A correspondent says that ii is now hijher than tho church f St. Peier's at Rome, and Were Christmas it will be 10 feet neartr the clouds than any known structure. The marble blocks of which it is con structed which cost about $-10 each as they come from the quarries, "rough ushlar," and ?20 moro when dressed, aro brought from the stonecutters' sfiopson trucks into the f levator which occupies the interior of the monument. Etch sLna weighs about thrta tons, and the elevator can easily accommo date two of there. "Tho man at tho wheel'" consumes seven of eight min utes in hoisting them. On reaching the top, the crane, an arm of the der rick, lakes hold of each tono, and, by a little guiding, the immense weight is a easily pliced in position as it wsrs i brick, Tim corner stones aro always sut first. The two stone setters haro each four ma?one waiting on them and one cement man for the two. Thtsrr eleven men make up the complement working each day on the top, and who, if seen at all by the people below them, look about tho size of infants.
