but the majority are on the wrong
side of forty, with a laird look about
their faces, and lines that are trucks 1
of tried feelings and past disappoint
ments.
The average Congressman is not a
man of the world. He marries be
fore he achieves greatness, and it.s
knowledge is limited to a very prim
itive social condition, where he en
countered and wed the plain, homely
little woman who shares his elevation
without adding much to its dignity
or grace. When such a man wines
within reach of the more ordinary
specimens of these Delilahs, he is
somewhat intoxicated by the atten
tion, and votes away vast domains,
subsidies to huge monopolies, under
the influence of two tender eyes or
the confidential tap of a sandal wood
fan. The study of the'avertige Con
giessman from a social, or, indeed,
any point of view, is not only of in
terest, but important, if we wish to
understand and appreciate the work
ings of our free institutions. Taken
from the common walks of life, he
Hods himself translated out of a little
office where poverty waits on busi
ness, and an humble home, barely
possessed of the ordinary comforts of
life, to the gorgeous magnificence of
a marble palace—gorgeous beyond his
wildest dreams. As he approwthes
its many entrances, obsequious ser
vants bend before him and the magic
doors swing on easy hinges, as if eon
rcious of his rights and privileges ;
nimble pages obey his slightest wish
and anticipate his needs. His mail
'natter• suddenly swells to an enor-
in ous extent. The average Congress
man appreciates the mail matter.
It costs him nothing and indicates
his greatness. In the committee
room, where his delegated body re•
poses in a velvot cushioned chair,
under ceilings where gorgeous fres
coings weary the eye, he hasa realiz
ing greatness. This is not diminish
ed when the committee, after half an
hour's heavy labor on public affairs,
draws the bottle from a bidden r C 11! 8
of the heavily carved walnut closets;
a bottle with which to refresh their
gigantic minds.
The average Congressman revels
in stationery. The man who never
read a book with a taste for reading,
and regaded pen, ink and paper as
punishments, suddenly wakens to a
thirst for stationery. lie seizes on
hot-pressed satin sprface, gilt edge,
French, English and Yankee paper!
How he does eye and grasp the snowy
envelopes neatly_ packed and put at
his disposal! He makes a requisi
tion for his stationery in the house
and sends it to his boarding house to
astonish his wife. In the committee
room the clerk, if he is an amiable
man, draws other and further sta
tionery for him.
Much depends upon this. Once
the Committee on Commerce was
honored by my presence as a clerk to
the same. Some days after I was
duly installed the messenger entered
the committee room ladeu, with sta
tionery, in response to my requisi
tion.
"Here Colonel," said the obligiog
messenger, "lock this up and don't
let the Congressmen have any; they
waste it so."
-But it is when the average Congress
man first comes in contact with the
female lobby, that he realizes his
translation. These am to him refill

I was turning this over in my
mind duringthe late session, while
I sat on the sofa In the Cave of the
Winds, listening to the blowing to
and fro about me, when I happened
to cast my eyes to the ladles' gallery
above, and out of the gloom saw a
memory come in the shape of a fair
face. These galleries were not con
structed with an eye to effect, so far
as female loveliness Is concerned, at
the dim light from above / gives a
ghastly paleness that not only de
stroys the beauty but seriodsly dam
ages the expression. Under the cir
cumstances the face failed to locate
Itself, and my memory was dim and
uncertain as the flashes of a\ former
life that come to us at times between
sleeping and waking.
I was so disturbed and haunted by
this memory, that 4 left my seat and
sauntered into the gallery, seating
myself near my fair friend, and
Without rudely staring I foufid my
mind gradually gathering up the dist ,
jointed fragments of ithe past, until
the fair ftwe •was framed In and

vatting onortsslon of childlike inno
eetice. Add to this amannerofgreat
refinement, set off and adorned in the
extreme of the fashion, but sulxieued
to the best taste and most artistic
harmonizing of colors, and I had an
old acquaintance before me. Al-,
though I looked my fait friend in the
face, I saw that she bad either for
gotten me or was not , disposed to re
new the acquaintance. She was
talking in a quiet. easy manner to a
well known member of Congress, and
I considerately withdrew as if I had
been looking in the face of an utter
stranger, instead of one well known
In times gone by. An hour after-
• wards I happened to be on the en
trance to the Senate Chamber, where
the multitude of marbles steps seem
ed to run out and flovedown, when
my fair friend came by,accompanied
by her Congressional escort, late of
the gallery, and almost brushed me
with her dress--the two descended.
I saw a neat private carriage, drawn
by a handsome pair f bays, and
driven by a coachman in livery:drive
up.
My friend of the law-making
power helped the lady in with a bow;
the door swung too with a bang, and
the fair one drove away, while' the

tune and snapping his fingers, as if
especially pleased with himself. Hav
ing a speaking acquaintance, I begged
pardon for my curiosity, and asked
:Solon the name of his friend.
, of New York," was
thequiet response.
The whole of these surroundings
were apparently so life-long and re
spectable, and so entirely different
from those that 1 believed formerly
hedged in the lady, that I was in
doubt. But no; the longer I thought
upon the matter, the more I felt sat
isfied of the identity. And the re
membrance was singular. While
detained in Washington during the
war, awaiting orders, I was invited
by a brother officer to a wine supper.
The people giving the entertainment
were strangembut taking my friend's
Word, I went. . I was particularly
struck with two of the guests—one a
slender youth, with large. dark eyes,
and a broad, thoughtful forehead,
whom 1 took for an Italian or a
Prenchrnan—his name has since ta
ken its place upon the roll of humor
tality; pinned there by the most
f:ftrfor - crime ever conimltted—the
other a beautiful woman of twenty,
in fact, but much younger in appear
ance. I found this young lady ex
ceedingly charming, as she was not
only lovely in person but lively in
mind.
We broke up at a late hour of the
night, or : . rather an early hour of the
►morning; and being ordered away a
few days after, the wine supper and
merry people there assembled, soon
passed from my mind in the hurried
eventful life of thecamp. They were
destined to return. Could the future
have been anticipated, death would
have set at our board that night, and
phantom visions of, dreadful events
dimmed the glittering lights,- and
settled in. horrible gloom on the coun
tenances of the assembled guests.
Toone Death would have said: "I
will claim you at Charicellorsville;"
to another, "We will meet at night
and I will save you from the gallow."
Of that little assembly in the sup
per room, two only survive—l and
another.
While we were in command at
Baltimore, and after Col. Fish got in
to the difficulty with Baker, so that
I had for a time immediate control
of the Provost Marshal's office, I re
ceived a card at the Eutaw House,
from a lady waiting to see me in the
parlor. Repairing to that reception
room I found my fair friend of the
wine supper at Washington. So far
as her beauty went she remained the
same, but her wardrobe evinced
straightened circumstances, if not
poverty. She gave me a long ac
count of her troubles, and wound up
by offering to go to Richmond in the
employ of the govern cnentand return
with all the information she could
gather for the use of the War De
partment in Washington. lat once
engaged her, but did not send so sus
picious looking an agent into the
enemy's country until after I had
given her a fair trial in Baltimore.
She proved the most adrdit, cun
ning, self-possessed detective that I
ever saw or read of. She afterwards
made two successful trips to Rich
mond, returning with valuable in
formation, although. Mr. Stanton had
no question but that she carried to
the Confederates as much as she
brought away.
I left the army, and saw and heard
no more of my pretty little detective
until the day I met her in the ladies'
gallery so elegantly gotten up and
surrounded. That is, if she were re
ally the same. All doubt on this
subiect was removed by a note I re
ceived the next day, inviting me to
an interview at the fair woman's
lodgings. I found her surrounded
with elegant upholstery, and yet
more fascinating in the delicate
morning robe that so adorns a beau
tiful woman by the concealed effort
to adorn. A tall, square built iron
gray man of au intensely respectable
appearance was introduced as her
husband, and as long as he ,remained
no allusion whatever was made to the
past, other than the few werda of an
intruchiction as an old and valued
friend. Soon as he , left• however,
she turned and said:
"Row kind of you not to recognize

"Well, - dtises it require a sham hus

'Certainly. Without a husband

carriage and all this evidence of

pays, however I could now retire
on a hundred thousand. But I am
horribly ambitious. / I want a million
—only think of it, I must have a
million. I havesold myself for mon

"And do none of the honorable
representatives know who you are?"
Why, you goose! I thought you
knew better than that. - Why, the
ring always reaches into the House
and Senate,and some of our directors
are the most respectable men in Con
gress. There is one, the most ben
evolent, pious, philanthropic, Indi
vidual in the world., He IA so in
tepsely pious that he never speaks-to
inc.; nevertheless he pays me heavily.
' There is another,A most respectable

"Why, this is so damnable I can
scarcely credit—"
"Yes, it is 'Very winked, and I'd

"You mean that for a hit. You

"Is in behalf of my beloved self:"

ton that is a frao, and I am but
among the host of the wicked. You
are too much a man of the world,
Colonel, to be astonished at finding'
a good deal of sanctimonious respec
tabitity covering rascality. It is the
cheapest cloak to get and the easiest,
to wear."
"And how do you influence these
Solons?"
"Sometimes one way, sometimes
another, but always In being very
quiet and exclusive. The men
bought cheaply are not worth buy
ing. My business is among the
highest sort, that will not stoop to
common carrion, and carry with
them great moral character that not
only covers themselves, but all the
little rogues that vote with them."
•tAnd do you often fail?"
"Sometimes; not often, fur , my
mission is to capture the leaders:
The lesser l;glits are left to coarser
means. Some surrender to delicious
little suppers, others to persuasion,
others again to love. There is Gen
eral—, proud, sensitive and suspi
cious, he comes to me with all his
griefs, and I listen to them. You'd
be astonished to know how little the
tongue and ear have to do with this
business. Then there is Mr. —,
who began life with a homely. unre
fined wife, and is now ashamed of
her. Poor man! he is really in love
with me.
"And will all the money you- make
pay for the degradation you suffer.in
return? You area woman of line
intellect, an - Inteneet-that-app •-•
genius- You could command admi
ration, respect, wealth by devoting

Her face flushed for a moment,
and then starting to her feet and pa
cing the floor in some excitement,
she exclaimed ;
"I learned my power when it was
too late. But you are the last man
to upbraid me. Do you know when
I learned my power as an actress?
r will tell you. Under your tuition
while in Baltimore. I came to you
starving and you sent me into private
lamilies to worm out their secrets
and betray their intentions."
"There you go again. That was
in the service of your country, and
the people possessed of those secrets
were our enemies."
"What was the difference, so far
ys my character went? But Ido not
regret—l have nothing to regret. I
have no friends no relatives, no coun

not either insult me or cheat me. I
never knew a woman who had not
a stony heart an& claws like a cat.
I hate them all.. Thily,would hunt
me down, and so 1 hunt them down
when I can."
"But you have made money
enough, why not leave this horrible
business, and from this out try and
possess your soul in peace? You are
young yet, you can have many years
of happiness before you."
"You want me to desist," she said,
interrupting me; "I have two good
resasons for going on. It is not av
arice, although having sold myself
to the devil,' am right in getting
the best price.for my poor soul. But
let me show y'elt.i my two reasons for
going on."
She walked to an arched recess,
and, pulling aside a heavy curtain,
showed me, playing on the floor, two
eautiful children .
"There," she continued dropping
the curtain, :`these are my'two rea
sons. I cannot give my children a
good name but I will give them that
which is more precious than a good
name in this, mean wicked world of
ours. I ,will give them wealth and
I will try to teach them to be any
thing on earth but what their un
fortunate mother was; so that if you
betray me you betray them. I left
the detective business when I left
Baltitncire. I try moral suasion
now."
And so I took my leave, and I
give this imperfect sketch of the way
laws are made through the lobby, in
our beloved Capital.—(bpilai.
THE RICH COUSIN.
BY AMY RANDOLPH
"At all events, I mean to try,"
said Rebecca Rollins,
And a very determined little char
acter she appeared, as she sat there
in a brown traveling suit, with a
scarlet scarf that involuntarily put
one in mind of a robin redbreast. She
was round and rosy, with great hazel
eyes. where thg liquid lights seemed
to swim and debpen beneath a fringe
of long curled lashes, pink cheEks,
and a red, laughing mouth. Only a
busy, hard working tittle dress-mak
er, yet many an heiress with pretty
money bags and diamond parures
would gladly have exchanged lots
with Rebecca Rollins, all for the saka
of that picture fair face, with its
sweet-pea flush and daintly rounded
outlines.
Sam Rollins, a tall, dark, billious
looking girl, well into the thirties,
listened rather apprehensively to her
sister's audacions words.
"But, kleck,y, what will he think?"
"Think! What he pleases, to be
sure. What do I mire what he
thinks? the cross, crabbed old cua
ningeotil Am I not his own second
cousin? Were not grandmamma
and old Mm. Ayley sisters?"
"Yes; but—"
"One thing , is quite certain," cried
Rebecca, nodding her head until the
corona! of chestnut-gold hair—all her
own, every shining capillary of it—
mught brown and bronze lights In
the afternoon sunshine: "I have got

and instead of going to a hotel and
wasting my slender means, why
shouldn't Igo to N 0.5,555 Fifth Av
enue? Ontsin Ferdinand is at his
Newport cottage—l 'saw that in the
'personals' in the newspapir—and
there will only be servants here. I

"And suppose they don't believe
you?"
"Oh, but they3will I" said Becky,
shutting her little pearly teeth to
gether. "People always do believe
me. And, after all, Ferdinand s 'Ay
ley is my cousin; havn't I a right in
his house?"
And nothing would dissuade Becky
from her will.
"Upon my wbrd, this is very nice,"
said Becky.
She• had pulled the silver bell knob
with a certain audacious energy, and
stood looking around, with innocent,
wide-open eyes of admiration. Yes,
It was very nice; nobody could con
tradict that assertion. Broad brown
stone steps, with fluted rails and
heavy newels, crowned with vases of
blossoming creepers; rosewood doors.
panelled and sliver hinged ;
glasa easements, draped with em.
broldered and silken folds.
Becky had read about such things in
novel lore, and dreamed of them in
sunset reveries, but never before, in
all her nineteen-year-old life, had
she beheld their dazzling similitude.
Yet, in spite of her resolute self-as
sertion, her heart-did give a little
fluttering start, as the door slowly
swung inward, and a tall, brown
faced man in a slovenly linen suit
stood before her.
"What's wanting 2" he brusquely
demanded.
"I want to come In!" said Becky,
composedly. "I'm your master's
cousin, Becky Rollins, from Riker's
Mills. You are the butler, I sup
pose, or some one in charge? Open
the door a little wider, why don't
you
The man eyed her dubiously.
`•Suppose I shouldn't let every one
in that says she is Mr. Ayley's cous
in?"
"0, but you must !" cried Becky,
coloring, while the sparkles rose into
her brown orbs. "Stand aside! 1
will come in."
The man yielded, with a low,
chuckling laugh.
"Then I shall look to you not to let
mi be blamed," he said.
"It shall be all right," said Becky,
graciously. "Where's the sitting
room? Oh, - how Pretty ?"
The last exclamation escaped in
voluntarily from her lips, tis she en
tered a dainty octagon apartment,
hung in fluted blue silk, with a vel
vet carpet of the softest blue, and low
Turkish chairs and sofas, of gilt, up
holstered in blue satin.
"It makes me feel as if I were in
the inside of a morning-glory,"cried
Becky, drawing a long breath of oe
light. I suppose this is the room
where Cousin Ferdinand's wife
sits."
"Humph !" responded the facto
tum. "Yonr cousin—if is your cous
in—don't happen to have a wife.
Shall I order your supper?"
''When you please," said Becky,
sitting luxuriously down in a shell
shaped chair, and feeling like some
fairy princess who had just come into
her kingdom. "No wife?" untying
her bonnet strings. Just like hitn-L

man, lingerihg to adjust the window

he had. Now you and I, who have
to work for our living— By the Way,
what do they call you ?"
"John!" ,
"Exactly," nodded Becky. "You
and 1, John, are in no danger of be
coming calloused through this world's
prosperities."
"Here's your supper," said John
bluntly, as a soft-stepping servant
brought in a silver tray loaded with
delicacies. "And I suppose your'e
hungry. Everybody is that comes
from the country. 1 came from the
country myself once."
Becky clasped her hands.
"Wine and sardines, and white
grapes and iced pound-cake !" she
cried gleefully. "Exactly like the
Arabian Nights. Please don't go,
John. lam sure that the minute

How much wages do you have
"Not much," growled John, in a
sort of indistinct basso.
"Didn't I tell you so?" said Becky,
taking a small sip of iced claret.
"Dear me! is this wine? For my
part I like sweet cider better. Yes—
didn't I say Cousin Ayley was a mi

so strangely? You think I talk too
much? \N ell, may be I do. Please
give me a glass of cold water instead
of this stuff that tastes like stale vin

wouldn't stay in his service."
" What would you do?" asked
John, with rather an amused face.
"A man must live."
"Live! Of course. he must,"
Becky answered, nibbling at her slice
of iced pound-cake. "But he need

velvety brown eyebrow, "I am on

than to stoop to ask my rich Ayley

When Becky Rollins nestled into
her silken coverleted bed that night,
she thought sleepily what a nice man
her cousin's steward was.
"I wish he would come to Riker's
.hills," she thought. "But he won't.
Men are so conservative."
Three months afterward, Rebecca
Rolling came hpige to spend the
Christmas holidays, and darted into
the littlesitting-room, a bright vision
of shining eyes, scarlet cheeks, and
dishevelled hair.
"I've come!" she cried.
"So has he!" said her sister Sarah.
"Who?"
"Why cousin Ferdinand, to be
sure."
"Pshaw!" said Becky, making a
little gestura of dissatisfaction.
"Well, Ideciare," said Sarah. "I
never thought you were such great
friends. He does nothing but quote
you."
Becky opened wide her eye.
"Mer But I never saw him in my
life. Pray where is he?"
And she walked boldly into the
front room, and found herself con
fronting—John!
"Oh, John!" she cried frankly. "I
am so glad-to see you. And how is
the old skinflint ? '
John colored a little.
"Pray don,t be angry with me,
Mies Becky; but I am the bid 'skin

"You!"
"I am John Ferdinand Ayley."
Becky turned and lied into the
other room, her face scarlet, her eyes
downcast.
"No, Sarah, no!" repulsing her ale=

never, never can face him again. Oh,
what must he think of me?"

AIM IN LIFE. ;
How sad it ist7conte&late an
aimless and purposeless arstence-- 7 -
golgen youth gliding by, wasting
precious opportunities —with no ob
ject in view, just like a ship Under a
full sail and well manned, but no
rudder, only drifting, going with
the tide, or perhaps with good work
ing rudder, but no port in view, on
ly sailing you know not ' where.
Have an aim in life, and a noble
one. Aim high and you will hit
something. Are you a student? Be
not satisfied to get through your
studies or recitations without cen
sure from your teacher. but study
hard to acquit yourself with honor;
be not Content to creep along on the
level, but walk, yes, run even, up
the rugged hill where honor sitteth
:int the desk. Are you a mechanic?
If so, learn your trade well, not con
tenting yourself with being an aver
age ilvorkman, but strive to become
master of yot* art, always bearing in
mind the old Adage, "What is worth
doing at all, is worth doing well."
Strive to be a Wader, not a follower.
First have an object, aim high,
then zealously labor to accomplish
your object; shcass is sure to follow
earnest unceasing toil. The contes
tants in the Isthmian races had an
object in view, and every nerve was
bent to obtain the object. It was
the crown at the end of the race.
Life must either run or be trodden
under foot; the multitude is moving
on; you must not look behind, or de
feat is certain. Lead coffin the train and
you will gain the crown in - the end.
Those who dally will never reach the
object. but will fall at last. Reader,
have a noble object in view, and then
with all your might press forward
until you reach it and it is yours.
The New Morning Paper.
For some time past there have been
rumors that a - new morning paper
was to be established in Philadelphia,
such a paper being tendered necessa
ry in consequence of the indepenclance
of Forneys Press , Different men are
named in connection with the enter
prise. J. Donald Cameron. son of
the Senator, is put down for a large
snm, while ex-Senator Cattell, Secre
tary Robeson,and some of "the boys"
of Philadelphia are mentioned as
liberal subscribers. This scheme has
been "chinned" over fora long time.
Everything is now arranged, so the
report goes, and all that is wanted is
an editor.
As indicated in our Washington
letter of last week, Mr. Brigham, of
the Pittsburgh Cbmmercial, was re
garded with favor, and the fact that
this gentleman has been in Philadel
phia all week, in consulation with
the parties now so potent-in political
affairs, is significant. Mr. Eagan,
the business manager of the Cbmmer
cial, is also here, but professes to know
nothing of, the enterprise, or of the
intentions of Mr Brigham. We are
disposed to think that Col. Forney's
eyes w i I not, "like stars, start from
their spheres" by - the sudden appear

has so long been standing on our wall.

VIC AND TtiNNIE CAGED•
Arrest of the Notorious Woodhull
and Claflin for Publishing a scurri
lous, Obscene
For some days past we have k vii
of,•but refrained from mentioning, a
publication put into circulation
against Rev. fignry Ward Beecher
and Mrs. Theodore Tilton, by Mrs.
Victoria Woodhull, through the me
dium of Woodhull and Oaflin's Week
ly, a paper which suspended publica
tion some time ago, but whiCh semis
to have been revived for this purpose,
and for assailing the characters of
others of equally high standing.
The charges against the lady and
gentleman named are of the gravest
.itrs. Woodhull asserts that
they have been criminally intimate;
that they have acknowledged their.
guilt in the presence of the guiltless
Victoria, and plead' with her not to •
expose them. These accusations are
made with great circumstantiality,
date and place of each criminal trans
action being given, and conversations
between the accused and the accuser
In justification of her sourse, Airs.
Woodhull pleads that she has been
persecuted for opinion's sake, and is
now houseless and penniless. Land
lords refused to rent their premises
hi her; hotels would not give her
shelter; that for a ghort time she had
apartments at a large Broadway ho
tel, but the landlord gave her notice
to leave, ris the ladies of the house
had risen in rebellion, and Would
not remain if the Woodhull was lon

refusing to go so long as she should

Returning to- her room one night,
she found her personal, effects in the
hall, and especial officer barring her
entrance. She was compelled to
spend the nlght'in her office on
Broad street, and there was obliged
tq stay a considerable time before
better quarters could be found. The
"bulls" and "bears" of Wall street
have turned against her, causing her
to lose much money, and finally the
owner of the building in which she
had her office, refused lnger to tol
erate her presence therei n.
"Hell 'lath no fury like a woman
scorned." Mrs. Woodhull now. de
clares war against her kind, and'an
nounces that her harist., is against
every man's hand. _ Sbe gives notice
to all men and woman—more par
ticulary the latter—to beware. De

irate woman of a nature to unsettle
our social system.
The Weekly containing the charges
I noted above, and thejustification of ,
the editress, was not permitted first
to see the light in New York city.
Thousands of copies were sent into
every important city and town in
the country several days in advance
of its appearance there. Two heavy
editions were required, and it ap
pears that all were bought up with
the greatest avidity. The manner of
detailing the charges was grossly in
delicate—obscene— in fact surpass- 4.

indecent publications known as "po

elsewhere, the publication being de
