BUBBLE TARTIES.
ONE of the most amusing, as well as easily arranged entertain
ments for the Holidays, is a "Bubble Party." Twenty or
more ladies and gentlemen, enough clay pipes so cacli will have
one, three or four bowls of soap-suds, and, say, half a dozen trifles,
for prizes, are all that is required, the prizes to be awarded to
those who blow the largest bubbles, one of the party to, act as
referee. f
The suds should be of Ivouy SoAr, as it gives a clean, white,
and abundant lathcr( with an entire freedom from oil or grease;
and as the materials of which it is made arc so clean and pure,
it is not at all offensive to the smell or taste, like ordinary soap.
A WORD OF WARNING.
There aro many white soaps, each represented to bo "Just as pood as the' Ivory';"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack ths peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist tip getting it,

WASHINGTON LETTER,
From our Ilegtilar Correspondent.)
Senator Heck's absoncc has been se
riously fell in tho Senate since tho re-
mulicnn tariu bill lms been taken up.
le is the ono democratic Senator who
has tho whole subject at his fingorH
ciiili, and hope that he woulil be ablo
to resutno his seat at tho present ses
sion, together with tho idea, which for
eomo reasons was prevalent arnont! tho
democratic Senators, that tho republi
cans wonld not take up tho tariff at
this session has doubtless prevented tho
uimocratio senators irom preparing
themselves to make ns stout. a resist
ance as was expecttd of them to the
pafsaBo of the bill. This may bo
remedied yet, but as it stands now, the
democrats of the IIo'jso aro expressing
great dissatisfaction at what they call
tho "apathy" of democratic Senators.
Mr. Cleveland is also understood to be
dissatisfied. In the meantimo Senator
Heck's physician has ordered him to
epend the" winter in the south, and ho
will go to Aiken, S. C.
Ju'presentativc Mills has broken down
undr the immenso strain of tho laM,
session and tho campaign. He will go
in search ot health, and is not expected
to return to Washington during this
session.
Last week it looked for a while as if
the repablioans wero to lose the next
lloubo after all, a recount in several
close districts resulting in favor of tho
democrats, and even now they appear
tohavo a majority ot only ono, which
so far as legislation is concerned is
liartlly better than a minority. The
would-bo.speakers of the next Houso
aro all on the anxious bench.
Secretary Whitney has ordered thn o
naval vessels to proceed to Hayti as
soon as they can bo mado
ready for sua, to enforce tho demand
madu by the Slato Department for tho
release of an American vessel illegally
seized by tho Uaytiau Government.
Uno republican has been discovered
who says that under no circumstances
would ho bo a member of Harrison's
cabinet. It is Senator Palmer, of
Michigan. He says that after the
fourth of Match bo is coing to bo a
farmer.
No signs of tho "bnsiiess session" of
which wo have recently heard so much,
hive yet been discoveicd in Congress.
Already tho ini'iiibers nre begin
ng to talk about the Holiday recess,
although a short time ago that was to
ne mspetued with tins year.
JNo legislation looking to the aImis
mini ot new sw.tm is prooaulo at this
siicioii. The domociats are willing to
pres a bill for the admi-sion of Dakota
as one state, provided that New Mexi
co is admilt'd at the same time.
This does not suit the republicans.
A bill has been introduced in the
Iluuse to make two states.out of Cali
fornia, but nothing is expected to como
nt ot it at tins session.
Secretary Whitney favors tho estab-
lifhment in this city of an Army and
Navy Museum. Tho government has
in its posession many articles that
would make such an establishment a
very interetting one to visitors, and tho
idea has been received with such favor
that it is probablo that Congress will
pass a bill to that effect.
beuator iiutler has introduced aiomt
resolution, proposing a constitutional
amendment extending tho presidential
term to six yeais. It U an excellent
idea, and should bo adopted with an
amendment making tho President
ineligible for a second terra.
Tho llouso committee on invalid
pension has reported tho pensions ap
propriated is 81,707,500, and yetsouio
people aro not satisfied with tho liberal
ity of tho Government towards its for
mer soldiers.
Senator Plumb, in a few remarks on
tho Seuato tariff bill, mado tho fact
very plain that ho does not approvo of
that measure as it now stands. Ho
called attention to tho duty on silvered
glars, which caused every bureau
manufactured to cost lrom two to
three dollars more than it otherwise
would. It is not mado in tho United
States, and Mr. plumb thinks that it
should go on tho freo list. IIu also
spoke of the steel trust, and mentioned
tho fact that large sums of money hayo
been srwed in the construction of the
State Houso of Texas and a public
building at Wichita, Kansas, by tho
purenaso of steel joistes, beams etc ,
abroad. If Senator Plumb is not more
iar, ful in his speeches he will rise up
soniii morning and find himself read
out of the ii'publiean paity.
The Stratagem.
A UTrl.K DIIAMA IN AN ENGLISH It A II.-
WAV CAItKIAOE.
If this story is not as now i.s it
might bo it is a very good one: A la ly
and a gentleman wero traveling to
gether on an Jinglibh railway, where
the coRches, as our readers Iknow. aro
divided into compartments. Thev
were me oniy occupants ot tho com
partment and strangers to each other.
Suddenly the gentleman said: "Ma-
lam, 1 will trouble you to look out of
tho window for a few minutes." "Cer
tainly, suo replied, politely, rising
aim turning ner uack upon Mm. In a
short timo ho said: "Now, madam,
you may rcsumo your seat.'' When
the lady returned she beheld her com
panion transfoimed into a (iiiiotlv-
dreskcd lady, wearing a heavy veil.
lMnU Qlr nP mnla, nlillim,n.nr,i
like," said tho lady. "I must trouble
you to look out of tho window." "Cer
tttiuly," and tho gentleman in lady a
attire immediately romnlied. "Now.
sir, you may resume your seat." To
ins surprise, wiu gentleman louno his
lady companion transformed into
man. He then laughed and saidi "It
appeard that wo aio both anxious to
avoid recognition. What havo you
donel I have lobbed a bank." "And
I, said tho whilom lady, as ho dex
trously fetteied his companion's wrists
with a pair of handcuffs, "I am a de
tect ivo from Scotland Yard, and I
havo been shadowiog you. Keep
still, please." And tho thief had noth-
ing to day!
An exchange says: Tho business
man who means business docs not keep
tho matter a secret nor can ho in this
progressive day and oge of tho world,
build up a largo trodo with out offering
bargains. Tho best goods for tho
mouoy can always bo hud of men who
adveitise. They want your trado and
will have it if thoy aio compelled to
sell some lines below cost.

North sido of Gth street.

pott that all refuse from cabbago

Tho bills and accounts for tho month

new granges wero organised

English sparrow. It provides that

an enactment of a law to pay a bounty
of two and a half cents on English
sparrows. This was unanimously
adopted. Dr. Warren, who is tho
most eminent ornithologist in the Stato,
considers tho English sparrow a pest
and says that tho best way to get rid
of them is to feed them grain soaked
in stryobnme.

upon highly carbouizeu bicarbonate of
soda that generates th gas alluded to:
and these ingredient' aro so pure and
