THE SENATE GALLERIES. ""
Curious People Who Go to‘Get a Bird's-
Eericw of Statesman.
All day long there is a receding wall
of faceson the four sides of the cham-
ber gazing eagerly down into the arena,
like a. picture from ancient Rome.
There is a constant disputation carried
on in an undertone as to the relative
merits of the champions, and approval
or disapproval occasionally breaks out
into. applause or grumbling. Smith is
trying to explain the situation to his
neighbor Jones, who thinks he knows
more about it himself, and bets are
made on various moves in the proceed-
ings and on the final result. . Of course,
money is not held in the air as at a.
race track, but it quietly changes hands ‘
right in the galleries.
The character of the male portion of
the audience is unusual. Those who
take only a. curious interest in the
thing are a. very insignificant number.
and almost as insignificant is the num~
ber of those who are residents of the
city. They are mostly strangers at-
tracted by this contest, and they are
of two as markedly distinct classes as
are to be found in contact. Hundreds
of them belong to the upper class of
business men, whose interest in the
outcome is so great that they are drawn
by that fatal fascination of interest
which has proved disastrous to so many
claimants who have once put their
faith in congress and have been chained
to the chariot wheels of the conqueror,
demagoguc.
They are men who have seldom be-
fore sat in the galleries of congress,
and now it palls on their business
sense. The subtleties of legislative
methods they do not understand, and
their patience is sorely tried; but their
very impatience and anger hold them
here towatch the game out. Sitting
shoulder to shoulder and knee to knee
With them are inen of another class, in
contrast to the well-dressed, white-
skinned and soft-handed banker and
merchant. They are perhaps not as
numerous as the others, but they are
equally strangers to legislative halls
and are quite as apt to attract the eye.
They are a plainly and often shab-
bily dressed lot. Some have bronzed
.faces and rough hands, with heavy
dines in their cheeks and across their
brows, like men who work in the fac-
Itory or at the forge by day, and Often
at night assemble together to talk over
their condition and grOpe about
through the mysteries of political
economy. Along in the class with
them are men with whiskers and sun-
burnt hair, homespun clothes and-
,heavy boots, who put their hands up
to their ears for trumpets. Further
down the scale come the pale-faced,
thin-lipped, wild-eyed men, who listen
eagerly to all that is said, and run
their fingers nervously through their
long hair when the bankers of Wall
street are mentioned, or when the oft-
repeated phrase about the masses and
the classes occurs.
Hour after hour this strangely as-
sorted audie'nce sits and watches the
fight, and the rise and fall of the tide
of excitement can 'be seen passing back
and forth over the eager faces. Inter-
est, approval, anger and impatience
alternately light and darken the coun-
tenances, and the undercurrent of an-
tagonism is observed in the dark looks
exchanged ‘and the impatient jerk of
the shoulder or wag of the head.—
Philadelphia Telegraph.
PLATFORM READERS.
They Miss the Pleasant Time Enjoyed by
the Bards and Minstrels of Old.
The business of appearing in public
as a. reader of one’s own writings is not
as pleasant as a misguided few may
fancy. To us there seems to bena
more graceless occupation. The incon<
veniences of travel, the changes of cli-
mate, the vicissitudcs’ of weather, the
different tastes of different publics—
these are but the beginning of the in-
evitable horrors that attend upon the
career of him who takes to the plat
Iform.
The bards and minstrels of old had
an easier time of it. They played fewer
but longer engagements. There were
90 one-night stands in those good old
times. The ‘ftalented and popular
minnesinger” didn’t have to jump
from Weeping Water, Neb., to‘ West
Brookfield, Mass; he wasn’t compelled
to do “Western dialect” one week and
Horatian paraphrases the next; there
were no way freights in those days
landing a fellow at his destination at
When a. minnesinger came to town he
came to stay for 3. mon th of Sundays,
and there was nothing too good for
him. If the critics didn’t like his
poems or objected to the way he
touched his light guitar he was disem-
boweled or otherwise reproved. The
poet had things all his own way; roy-
alty housed and fed him, and people
considered it a. great honor to be per-
mitted to hear him drone out the poems
which, likely as not, he had cribbed
from worthier poets in a. far-distant
country. There was some show for
platform poets in those dim, majestic
ages. True, there were no lecture bu-
reaus thennor any, railways, but hu-
manity was kind and the walking was
good—Eugene Field, in Chicago Rec-
ord. .
Simple in Practice.
The observatory method of determin-
ing time is very simple in principle.
The observer turns to his catalogue of
stars and chooses one for his observa-
tion, the catalogue giving him the
time, to the hundredth of a. second, at
which that star will be on ‘his merid-
ian. He then turns to the telescope,
and at the instant the star crosses the
meridian records the time indicated by
his clock. The catalogue gives the true
time of passage, and unless the clock
gives the same it is in error. —Popula.r

The “Verdict Unanimous.
It pleases the lawyer and his client,
loo, to have the verdict of the jury
unanimous. A great jury composed of
the American public has rendered
an, unanimous verdict on Dr. Hale’s
Household Cough Cure as a medicine,
agreeing that its promises of a. speedy
cure for coughs, colds, and bronchial
troubles are always carried out to the
letter This pleasant verdict has not
been obtained without great pains
taken to make it the best cough cure,

have a cough or cold and you will be-
long to the “unanimous,’ ever after.

, How to Cure La Gra'ppc.
About a year ago I took a violent at-
tack of la grippe. I coughed day and
night for about six weeks; my wife
suggested that I try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, At first I could see no
difi'erche, but still kept taking it, and
soon found that it was what I needed.
If I got no relief from one dose I took
another, and it was’only a few days
until I was free from the cough. I
think people in general ought to know
the value of this remedy, and I take
pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I
have received from it. Madison Mus-
