despatch from Hartford, was moved to the

Elderly Lovers.
Hanrronn, Conan, April 10.—Miss J ulia
Evelina Smith‘, of Glastonbury, the only sur—
vivor‘ of the Smith sisters, was married yes-
irrday to Ambs G. Parker, of~New; Hamp-
shire. Both bride and groom are in their
eighty-seventh year.
l’erhups tlle lass was not to blame
For clinging to her family name,
No other Widely known is more '
Than that of Smith the whole world 0 er.
But Cupid in a guardless ho_ur
Brought her within his fervtd power,
And made her change the homely name
\Vhen Parker her fond spouse became.
Perhaps the hid ne’er fore had see»
So sweet 8 lass as Eveline,
And that she had not until now
Seen one of whom she‘d be the fruit.
Perhaps, till now, no match could start
The flame of love within her heart,
Andicause his love to sweetly flow
More than it did years. years ago.
They showed upon their bridal night
That they’re guy champions of the rite
That welds the links that form the chain
To ever bind as one the twain.
MORAL.
This contradicts what has by bards been sung
Who say love‘s caught like measles when
we’re young.

IIOW SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES AMUSE
THEMSELVES IN THEIR LEISURE HOURS.
When some senator or member of moderate
ability is making a speech, the cloak-rooms
are generally crowded. The Scene represents
a club-room more than anything clse, but were
there not so many hats and coats hung along
the walls, and were there a little more of an
air of cheerfulness, the resemblance would
be more complete» As it sis,,howcver,thc .
cloak-rooms are the most interesting places at
the Capitol. Around the walls are cleats, on
which are large brass hooks with the names
of the owners on little cards tacked under
them on which the Congressional hats and
coats are hung. There are sofas and settces,
of old-fashioned patterns and well worn ;
numerous chairs, in various stages of decay
and oerring various degrees of attraction, are
scattered about; there is a tankard of ice
water, three or four marble wash basins,with
soap and towels, and at the House end of the
Capitol a couple of barbers’ chairs in each-
cloak ’room. Cheerful fires are burning in
the grates, and generally one of the chande-
liers is lighted, for the only light that can be
otherwise. obtained is filtered through the
stained glass windows from the public corri-
dors. A box of matches sits on the mantel,
and in the House cloak room one of the
pendent gas jets seen in cigar stores, gives
the smoker his “fire.”
At any time during the sessions, groups of
lounging statesman may be passed, in every
variety of posture, all smoking and discuss—
ing the events of the day or telling stories;
and some of the best story tellers in the
world were in .the last congress.
Abraham Lincoln’s stories are quite as much
a part of his administration as the emancipa-
tion proclamation. President Grant told a
story eloquently when he was “unbeui,” but
he was not in the habit cf telling them prom’isv
cuously. President Hayes does not originate
stories as Lincoln did, but often quotes them,
and seems to have been studying Lincoln, for
he repeats his sayings very frequently. Secre
t aryEvarts is an habitual wag, and is the life
of Cabinet meetings, very often illustrating
his views on a pending question‘by the point
of an anecdote. Miiny of his stories are in
circulation now. Attorney-General Devens
doesn’t tell many stories, but is given to pun-
ning. Secretary Thompson loves a joke as
well as ever a man did, and can entertain -a
company with “Hoosier" anecdotes for a
whole evening at a time. Postmaster-Gen-
eral Key often attempts to be funny, and
sometimes succeeds,but generally tells a story
you have heardbefore. Schurz is fond of a
good story, but doesn’t tell one. Sherman
and McCrary are the sober men of the cabi—
net. Sherman sometimes smiles,but was never
heard to give a good hearty laugh. McCrary
laughs‘ sometimes, and is always in good
humor, but you seldom get an anecdote from
him. . -
Charles Sumner never knew what a joke
was. Humor was entirely absent from his
nature. Morton enjoyed stories, and told
them sometimes, but he was always a‘ very
busy man, and when he wasn’t in bed suffer-
ing torture indescribable, he was generally at
work. General Sherman is an inverate
story teller, and you can catch him at army-
headquartcrs, surrounded by his staff, rein-I
ting his experiences,of which he seems to have
had an unusual ambuut of an amusing char-
acter, or describing some funny sight he has
seen, or some funny thing he has heard. He
has a very keen sense of the ridiculous, and
is graphic in description, and very successful
in mimicry. Vice President Wheeler enjoys
a joke as well as any man in congress, but
seldom perpetrates one. ,
Conkling is inimitable when he chooses to.
be. There is no man in public life who has
conversational powers equal to his. He can
be interesting on any topic that may enter a
cpnversation, and whenhe fairly lets himself
out, as he did in England a year ago last sum-
mer, people stare at him until they are over~
come by fascination. Blame is equally ac-
complished, but does not display himself as
Conkliug does on stated occasions. Blaine is
more genial as a common thing, but not so
pyrotechnic in his displays. 'Gen. Butler can
make himself as interesting as any man,when
he chooses, but his humor generally is of a
grim kind, and he tries to make people un-
comfortable. If Butler should sit down at a
dinner table with'twelve strangers, before the
coffee was reached he would find the tender
spots in each man's armor. He has :1 disagree—
able way of finding out the weaknesses of
those with whom he comes in contact, and a
conceited ass or braggart never wants to meet
Butler a‘ second time. He puts this faculty of‘
making people uncomfortable to a very good
use sometimes; but he isn’t always disagree-
able, but can be as charming as a sweet
sixteen when he chooses. Martin I Town—
send, Proctor Knott, Sunset Cox, Charles
Foster, and Dr. Stewart were the story tellers
of the last house. Dr. Stewart will be
especially missed from the cloak room cote-
ries, and his stories,‘ most of which were
new born here, will be quoted until he comes
back to congress to tell some more.—— Was/i.

Among other stories told about the sup-
plies for political campaigns is one at the
ex ense of Thurlow Weed. He went from
any, where he then resided, down to
New York, in 1856, and obtained from the
Seward men a fund to enable him to defeat
Filmore. Havinga dread of investigation
he pl 11 $10,000 in an Albany bank to the
credit 0 his partner, to be drawn out as it
might be needed. Afew days afterwards
the partner dropped dead in the street, and
the bank paid over the gnoney, .with the
other sums deposited by him, to his Widow.
This was not agreeable to Mr. Weed, but.
his disgust was increased when a coupleot
years later, Mr. Filmore wooed and married
the widow—and the $10,000.—00r. Chicago

In society, says Ouida, women hate one
another. All the more because in society
they have to smile in each other’s faces
every night of their lives. Only‘ think what
that is, my dearl--—to grudge each other’s
diamond, to study each other’s dress, to
watch each other’s wrinkles, to outfline
each other, always on every possible oc-
casion, 'big or little, and yet always to be
obliged to give pet names to each other,
and and resist ‘ each other with elaborate
ceremonial. Why, women must hate each
other. _

A great dispute is raging in Madras over

is said to have been plucked from the beard

from the government. There are six clai~
mants for the hair. The High Court of
Madras has been appealed to and will have
to do some hair splitting in order to accom-
plish the ends of justice. So great is the
competition among the six Mussulmans who
claim the hair that there is a possibility of
their splitting each other's 'skull's contrary
to the law and custom long prevalent among
them.

A Flushing, N. Y.,Democratic paper reads

which seems surcharged with holesomc
suggestions and truths:
There are tens of thousands of Democrats
here, W110, before they will submit. to_ any
bullying spirit on the part of the South,
would cut party tics and vote for any man
whose “strong government” ideas would be
practically carried out, and such a mun'in
the White House would not be healthy for
that unfortunate section, even with a Demo-
cratic majority in both branches of Congress.
Let the Northern Democracy be told many
more times that “it is an iinmoved curse to
the South” and .innn unguarded hour it
might so far forget its patriotism as to join
hands with the Republican members of Con-
gress and make those words too true.”

Grandfather Licksliingle’s View
of It.
Grandfather Lickshingle threw down the
paper yesterday in disgust, and exclaimed.
“It makes me sick, by gracious ; it makes
me‘ sick 1”
“What makes you sick, grandfather?”
asked James.
"Why, here’s anotherccachman runs away
with his employer‘s daughter."
“It is certainly too had,” said James.
“And they get married the minute they are
out of sight of her father’s house.”
“The poor, silly thing.”
"Well, 1 should say ‘the poor, silly thing I!
I should also say the sap-head, the shallow-
pate, the crazy, crack-brained imbecile, "eon-
tinned grandfather, in a towering rage.
“The poor creatures are justfrom boarding
school.” said James, “with their heads full
of romantic—"
“Who's just from boardin "' ' '
grandfather. gscliool r yelled
“The poor silly girls are.“
“Who’s talkin about girls ?" yelled the
old man, a little more savagely than before.
“It's the coachman I’m a-hitlin’ at. If I
had a son, an’ be was a good coachman, an’
he would disgrace himself by runnin’ away
with his employers giddy daughter, I’d spend
my pension money in riotous livin’, an’ I
wouldn’t leave him one red cent to rub
against another. Now you hear your old
grandfather quote Shakespeare."—Cincinnati

Early Vegetab e Incident.
A man with a basket on his arm pushed
his way up to a fruit stand and asked:
“How do you sell cucumbers ?"
The dealer informed him.
“Why, man alive, do you suppose I want
to buy a whole one ?”
“Don’t know what you want, but that’s
the price of the cucumbers,” replied the
dealer.

“Fifteen Cents 011‘.”
A Detroiter who dresses well .and has a
reasonable share of good looks had occasion
last week to make a trip to the country,
and one night ‘he found himself at a farm
house at which a party was to come off.
He was invited to participate in the festivities
and after he had consented the old farmer
took him around the corner of the house and
said:
"The young folks are mighty fond of any
game with kissingin it. They’ll get up some-
thing and fix it to make you kiss the hand-
somest gal in the room.”
“Well, I’ll kiss her,” was the prompt
reply.
"Yes, but hold on a little," continued the
old man. “'l‘her’s my gal Emma. We think
she’s as party as any of ’em, but certain
folks around her kinder sniff at her 'cause
her nose crooks shit and her hair is a trifle
high colored. Now, Iwant you to kiss Em,
for the handsomest gal in the room. It’ll
do the old woman good, do Em. good, and
kinder set these ’ere snifi'crs back a. little.
I don't ask you to kiss her for nothing, but
if you'll do it I'll throw off fifteen cent’s
off’n your bill in the morning. What do
you say P” .
The young man, said he‘d do it, and the
father continued: .
“That’s the checker. Don’t you have any
make believe about it, but kiss her right pop
out so that we kin all hear the smack !”
'The gene was played, the Detroiter was
“fixed,” and he kissed “Em.” like the pop
of apistol. He felt all thelhappier for it
that night, seeing how. greatly the old
woman was pleased, but next foreuoon as he
jogged along be had to run the gauntlet of a
score of farmer’s sons waiting in fence corners
to lick him" because he passed their “gals"
by for “Em.” He was struck by thirteen
stones, six clubs, and about a bushel of pota-
toes before he got out of the neighborhood,
and when he came to figure up he realized
that fifteen cents was no inducement at all.,
