The rush is onto Washington once more preparaiory to the opening of Congress on the 6th. The Congress~ men and Senators are riding there on passes and then diawing 20 cents per aaile out of the treasury. The hungry horde of office seekers, those who have been waiting for “relief” to come their way but are still a stranger to the wave of prosperity, have also turn— ed their faces toward the capital and will be there tohang till some “pie” falls to them or until what they took along in their pockets is exhausted. ‘As to what Congress will do when it mecets, nobody expects anything of it but to equander the public money and draw pay.

Some time ago The News and Ob- server predicted that Senator Butler’s political days were numbered. This was betore his speech at Rocky Mount. Since that vile slander upon the manhooil of the State, the prediction is being rapidly verified, The people ot the State are up in wrath against him; mightily aroused in many communities, they declare that if he ever comes into their midst again they will heap some indignity upon him to show their coudemnaticn of his slanderous words. What is more, the news comes from Washington that tho Senate will very likely take the matter in hand, inves- tigate it to the bottom and either expel the author of the words from that body as a blackguard, unworthy to associate with decent mer, much less pass laws tor a great nation, or past & resolution reprimanding him tor such a speech. This is the news that was yesterday flashed over the wires ani is this morning printed in sowe of the New York papers! What truth there is in it yet remains to be seeh. That the man Tealizes his terrible condition is showr. by the fact that he is moving heaven and earth to prove that he did not use the words attribut- | edto bim. He is importuning all the Populists and Republicans who were in his audiencs at Rocky Mount that day to write him letters saying tha‘ they heard no such words as those above quoted. ‘These letters he pur- poses publishing in his paper next week, and using in his defense should he matter come up betore the Senate.

A man with a “skate” on may roll in the gutter, but arolling skate cucs no ice. _A married woman’s rights might be used in correcting her husband’s wron’s. Fire is a good servant, but it is apt to go out at night, just lixe the other servants. Probably the reason foot ball is so popular is because the punishment fits the crime?

SING A SONG. — 1%, If you'll sing a song as you go along, In the face of the real or the fancied wrong, In spite of the doubt if you'll fight it out, ~ And show a heart that is brave and stout; If you'll Jacgh at the jeers and refuse the tears, You'll force the ever reluctant cheers ‘ That the world denies when a coward ories, To give to the man who bravely tries. And you'll win success with a little song _- If you'll sing the song as you go along! If you'll sing a song as you plod along, You'll find that the busy rushing throng Will catch the strain of the glad refrain ; That the sun will follow the blinding rain; That the clouds will fly from the blackened sky ; That the stars will come out by and by, And you'll make new friends, till hope de scends From where the placid rainbow bends. And all because of a little song— If you'll sing the song as you plod along! If you’ll sing a song as you trudge along, You’ll see that the singing will make you strong. And the heavy load and the rugged road And the sting and the stripe of the tortuous goad Will soar with the note that you set afloat; That the beam will change to a trifling mote; That the world is bad when you are sad, And bright and beautiful when glad. That all you need is a little song— If you’ll sing the song as you trudge algng! —R. McClain Fields in Nashville American.

Tails, on the other hand, are made up into boas. The hair when removed is used for the manufacture of the so cailed camel's bair paintbrushes.
