HT DONN PIATT.
Any time dtirinj; the aeuson of Con
urens one onto room to tliu .Senate
Chamber in tillodwitli foiiiuleajjatliorctl
in lrrouiwaboiittlio learned liiw-makom,
or attracting thorn ainjrK'. Some of
them are wives or Untihtum of the
KenatoiK, khiio are gli'miKci viHitinjr
at the Cupitol ; Intt the mujority in
niado up of women prcHHinit cluinis ho
fore CongiVHS.
To got a ljetter look at these femi
nine agents, one iiiuat visit tlie lobbj
to the rear of tho .Spcitket's chair in
tliu lloiirje of lleptvaentativea. It is a
lonj l"w corridor under tlio reporter's
gnllei'V tinisliod and fimiihhcd in tlie
same florid stylo peculiar to tliu entire
building, tin the mtmo side aro doors
opening into tho hall of the House, on
the other the Kjieaker's private room,
originally intended lor tliu liatniiios of
the mombers butol lute ho invaded and
occupied hy tho female lobby that fami
lies ol nienibursshiin tlie pluco, and the
Sneaker hinmelf is driven to the clerks'
ollice when ho wixhes to sto a friend
or write a nolo.
Hero wo Hud the feunile lobby in all
its glory. It aniieum chid in tho tints
ol tho rainbow and fairly dazzles one
with its display ol jewelry, homo of
this is cheap but most of it is really
costly. To the nmn of tho world tho
dress is a shade too vulgar and tho
maimer slightly too loud and coarse.
Homo aro young and ftvsh, hut the ma
jority are on tho wrong side of forty,
with a liard look anout tlieir luces auu
lines are trucks of tried feelings and
past disappointment.
Tho average C'ongtvssmitn is not a
man of the world. Ho marries before
ho achieves greatness, and his knowl
edgo ol life in limited to a very primitive
social condition where ho enoountttred
and wed this plain, homely littlo woman
who shares his alevatiou- without add
ing much to ils dignity or grace. When
such a nmn comes within reach of the
more ordinary specimen of these legis
lative Delilahs, be is somowhnt intoxi
cated by the attention, and vntvs away
vast domains, subsidies and huge
monopolies, under tho influuneo of a
stimuli wood fun. The study of tho
avorngo Congressman from a social or
indeed any1 point ol view, is not only of
interest, but important, if wo wish to
understand and appreciate tho work
ing of our true institutions. Taken
from the common walks of life, he finds
himself translated out of a little office
whero poverty waits on business and
an htimblo homo, barely possessed of
tho ordinary comforts of life to tho
gorgoons magniticcneo of a marble pal
aco gorgeous beyond his wildcstdroams.
As ho approaches its many entrances,
obsequious servants bend before liim
and tho mngio doors swing on easy
hinges, as if conscious of his rights and
privileges ; nimblo pages obey his
slightest wish and anticipate his needs.
His mail matter suddenly swells to an
enormous extent. Tho avorngo Con
gressman appreciates the mail matter.
It costs him nothing and indicates his
greatness. In the committee room,
whero bis delegated hotly reposes in a
velvet cushioned chuir, under ceilings
whero georgeous frescoings weary tho
eye, ho has a reiilir.iiig greatness. This
is not diminished when tho committee),
niter half an hour's heavy labor on pub
lic affairs, draws tho bottle from a hid
den recess of tho hoavily carved walnut
closets ; a kittle with which to refresh
their gigantic minds.
Tho average Congressman revels in
stationery. Tho man who ncvor road
a liook with a taste for reading, and
regarding pen, ink and pnper as pun
ishments, suddenly wakens to a thirst
for stationery. Ho seizes on hot
pressed satin suifttco.gilt-ed god, French,
English and Yankee paper I How ho
diws eyo and grasp t lie snowy envel
opes neatly packed and pot at his dis
posal ! Ho intikes a requisition for his
stationery in tho house, anil semis it to
his boarding-house to ustonish his wife.
In tho committee room the clerk, if ho
is an unliable man, draws other and
further stationery lor him.
.Much depends upon this. Once (ho
Committee on Commoroo was bonorod
by my prcsonco as clerk to tho samo.
Sumo duys nflor 1 was duly installed
tho messenger entered the committco
rooms laden with stationer', in re
sponse to my requisition.
"Hero Colonel," said the obliging
messenger, "hwk this up and don't let
the Congressmen havo any; they waste
it so."
Hut it is whe the average Congress
man first comes in contact with tho
female lobby, that ho rcalir.es his trans
lation. Theso aro to him rolined, fas
cinntiug and beautiful creatures. Hi,
poor little homely wife hides to naught
llis life seems to havo boon barren un
til then and now bo regrets tho early
marriage that shuts him out from a
union with ono ol theso elegant wo
men 1
Thero are two sorts of proeessess
through which fraudulent legislation
is perfected. Ono Is called "ring,"
which moans a combination of rogues
for some purpose ; tho oilier is colled
the "lobby, and designates agents hv
inghere,unl employed by I lie rings and
individual to push tkoir evil scheme
through Congress.
1 havo made the acquaintance of
several specimens ol thorn two aorta ot
jackals, and propose photographing
them some clay to eiingiiten my rcsu
ers as to the nature of this branch ol our
National Legislature, that costs the
pooplo moro than tho legitimate law
making power, the Judiciary, and tho
executive i
I was turning this ovor in my mind
during the late session, while 1 sat on
tho sofa in the Cave of the windi, lis
tening to the blowings lo and too about
me, when I happened to cast my eyes
to the Indies' gallery above, and out
CLEARFIELD,
of tho gloom aaw a memory come in
the shagie of a fuir faeo. These galler
ies were not constructed with an eye
to effect, so fur a femalo loveliness ia
concerned, as the dim light from above
gives a ghastly paleness that not only
destroys the beauty but seriously dam
ages tho expression. Under tho cir
cumstances the faco failed to locate
itself, and my memory wa dim and
uncertain as the flashes of a former
life that come to us at time between
sleeninir and winking.
I was o disturbed and haunted by
this memory, that I lell my eat nd
annno.rwil into thoirallerv. aeatinff fnv
self near my lair friend, and witheut
rudely staring 1 toiiuu my ininu grau
unlly' gathering up tho disjointed frag
ments of tho past, until the fair face
was framed in and located. It was a
verv sweet faco, not so young as it was,
but with a prevailing expression of
cuililliko innooence. aqo io ium a
mnnncr of great refinement, sot off and
ndorned in tho extreme of the fashion,
but subdued to tho best tusto and
most artistio harinoniting of colors,
and I hud an old acquainlnnco before
me. Although 1 looked my fuirlYiond
in tho faco, I sat that sho had either
lbrgotton mo or was not tlistiosed to
renew tlie acquaintance. Sho was
talking in a quiet, easy manner to a
well known member ot Congress, antl
I considerately withdrew as if I had
been looking in the face ot an utter
stinngor, instead ol one won known in
times gono by, An hour afterwards 1
happened to be on tho entrance to the
.Senate Chamber, whero tho multitude
of marble stops seemed to run out and
now down, when my fair friend came
hy accomimnud hy nor Congressional
escort late of the gallery, and almost
uruslieu ine witn nor uress mo two
descended. I saw a ncut private car-
riago drawn by a hundsomo pair of
bays, and driven by a coach man in
livery, drive up.
.My menu ol tlie law making power
Iped the lady in with a bow : tho
door swung to with a bang, and the
fuir ono tlrovo away, while tho colon
came up the steps humming a tune
and snapping his fingers as it especially
pleased with Himself, jlovmg a speak
ing acquaintance 1 begged pardon for
my curiosity, and axkod Solon the
mime of his friend.
".Mrs. , of Now York," was
the quiet response
Tho whole of theso surroundings
were apparently so lifelong and re
spectable, and so entirely different front
llioso that 1 believctl formerly hedged
in tho lady, tlnit I was in doubt, lint
no; the longer 1 thought upon the
matter, tho more 1 foil satisfied of tbo
identity. And the remembrance was
singtilur. While detaied in Washing
ton during tho war, awaiting orders,
1 was invited by a brother officer to a
wine supper. The pooplo giving the
entertainment were strangers but tak
ing my friend's word, 1 went I was
particularly struck with two of the
guests one a slender youth with large
dark eye, and a broad thoughtlul
forehead whom 1 took tor an Italian
or a Frenchman hi name baa ainco
taken its plnco upon the roll of imor
lality : pinned there by the most fear
ful eriino ever committed the other
a beautiful woman of twenty, in fact
but much younger in appearance, 1
found this young lady exceedingly
charming, as she was not only lovely
in person but lovely in mind.
H o uroko up at a into tiour in tlie
night, or rather at an early hour of
the morning, and being ordered away
a few day after the wine supper and
merry pooplo there assembled, soon
passed from my mind in tho hurried
eventful lifo of tho oamp. They were
destined to return. Could tho future
havo boon anticipated, death would
have sat at our board that night, and
phantom visions of dreadful events
dimmed the glittoringligbtsand settled
in horrible gloom on tho countenances
of tho assembled guests.
To ono Ileal h would havo said : "1
will claim von at Chancellorsvillo ;" to
another; "Wo'will meet at night and
I will save you from tho gallows."
Of that little assembly in tho supper
room, two ohly survivo I and another.
n lulo wo were in command at Jful-
timnre, and after Col. Fish got into his
difficulty with linker, so that I bad
tor a time immediate control of tho
Provost llnrshall's office, I received a
card at tho Kut.tw House, from a lady
waiting to soo mo in tho parlor. J(e-
pairing to that reception room 1 lound
my lair menu oi ijiu wine aujiper ai
ashimrton. So fur as her beauty
went she remained the same, but her
wardrobe evinced straightened circum
stances if not poverty. She gave mo
a long account ot tier troutiles, and
wound tip offering to go to Itichmond
in tho employ of the government, and
return with all tho information sho
could gather up for tbo use of the War
licpurlinont, In v anlungton. 1 at
once engaged her, but ditl not send so
suspicious looking an agent into tho
enemy's country until alter 1 had givon
Iter a lair trial in lialtimorc. Mio
proved tlie most adroit, cunning, self
possessed detective that 1 ever aaw or
read of. She afterwards mado two
successful trips to itichmond returning
with vuluublo information although
Mr. .Stanton had no question but that
sho carried to the Confederates as muck
as sho brought away.

REPUBLICAN,
D ECL1SEAND FA LL OF" ORE AT
MORAL IEOAS" IN KANSAS.
From tha New Tork World.
If the Slate of Kansas is not afflicted
with the most mercenary crew of pot
itician in Christendom it certainly
must be held, more than any equal
nunibor of square miles on the fuco of
the habitable globe, to abound in "liars
of the first magnitude" We are, per
baps, unnecessarily cautious in giving
iuib aiivruauvo lorui vo our auiieuieiiv,
for when we consider the mournful
exhibition which, on quite another
stage, has reccnly illustrated the close
connection that exists between public
villainy and private mendacity, we are
warranted in believing that if Kansas
i rich in types of tho former sho is
quite likely to be rich in types of the
latter. It is to be expected that a soil
which breeds corruption shall also reek
with pestilential exhalation and it i
equally to be presumed of mon whose
right bands are full of bribes that their
throats will be an open sepulchre, it
is no ground of surprise that a Com
monwealth which l prolific in political
sportsmen like "Subsidy romcroy
and in decoy ducks like tno trench
erous Yorke should also be exuberant
in modorn co-rivals of Ferdinand Mcn-
dex Pinto.
And. since these things aro so, we
are called, in reviewing the history of
Aansas, lo contemplate a most melan
choly denouomont to tho drama which
our "party of groat moral ideas" bus
enacted on this theatre before the
oyos of tho American pooplo for tho
lust nllecn or eighteen years, ibis
meditoranoan State, as everybody
knows, is the chosen arena on which
the modern ltepublican party joined
its battle between the civilization of
the North and the civilization of the
South. Here are the lists within
which Senator Seward exultingly ac-
ceiitcd the gauntlet thrown down by
tho men ot the Mouth lor a trial oi
trength between contending section.
"Come on, then," he exclaimed we do
but quote his parlous words, as uttered
in the Kansas and Nebraska debate
"come on, thon, gentlemen of tho slave
States! Since thero is no escaping
your challenge, I accept it in behalf ot
irecuom. it e win engage in uoiu-
petition fur the virgin soil of Kansas,
and (iod give tho victory to the side
that is stronger in numbers as it is in
right" This is tho paradise to save
which from the curse ot slavery throe
thousand clergymen of Now England
joined in a prayer to Congress while
as yet the Kansas anil Jcnraska bill
was pending. This is the Holy Land
for whose redemption from the thral
don of Missouri "border ruffians" these
same clergymen left tlieir flocks, and
went through the free States in the
spirit and power of Peter the Hermit,
preaching a "crusade of freedom."
This is the American Eden to rescue

"New England Emigration Company"
that benevolent association which,
with "General" (afterward Senator)
S. C. Pomeroy a it agent, undertook,
on business principles, lo plant school
bouses, saw mills, and jxitrnt Chris
tianity in the heart of that nascent
Territory. It wa in this "Flanders
of liberty" that tho loins of the sainted
John Brown that John the Baptist
appointed to usher in tlie new disjien
sution were girded up, not with cam
el hair, but with guns and pikes,that
his soul might at a later duy "march

banner of tho republic. It was
"Bleeding Kansas" which gavo thoir
battle-cry to the Iioptiblican hosts in
tho Fremont campaign ot 18A6. It
was with Kansas graven on their
hearts, as Calais on tho heart of Bloody
Man-, that our Bcechors descended
from their pulpits and our Sillimans
came down from their academic chairs
lo put Sharpe's rifles iu the hands of
militant young saints who were early
sent out to possess the promised hind

keener joy of civil war a war for

gallant State ot Kansas winch con
tributed to that "insurrection of patri
otism" a larger quota of soldiers in pro
portion to Tier population than any
other State in the t'nion.
It will bo seen, thon, that in every
aspect Kansas is the classic land of
modern radicalism. II ore are Its arms
and here its chariots. If in any State
wo might expect to see the Republican
party shine resplendent in its coat of
mail, and ride forth prosperously, con
quering and to conquer in its moral
triumphs, Kansas is that Stato. If tho
blood of the martyrs is the seed of tho
church, what a crop of virtues might
we not expect to reap from soil enrich
ed from the ashes of heroes who fought,
bled, and ran away tinder tho lend ot
General Jim Lano?
Hut alas I how is the flno gold be-
como dim, and how aro tho mighty

holder's llebellion" had lasted less than
a year before tho nnwers oi rwinsas
chivalry wont to seed in tho persons
of the "Jay-hawkers" that predatory
gang ol cut throats who surpasseu mo
Thugs in their murderous brutality.
So rapid was the degeneration of mil
itary honor in Kansas that towards
the close of the war General Ewing
was reduood to the sad necessity of
suppressing by an order me martial
activity ol the "patriots aim "iioera
tors," who as he pithily said, woro
"stealing themselves rich in tho name
of frooedom." And when peace came
to Kansas it came with cadkers even
worse to behold than the blotches and
blood stains of guerilla warfare.
"Patriots" and "liberators" then began
to plunder with bribe in their hand
instead of rifles. Everything was
venal at ToHka. The fruit of tlie tree
of liberty had turned rotten even be
fore it was ri)0. Novor was degen
eracy so sudden and so complete as in
tho "flush times" which downed on
this precocious community at tho close
of the war. And nowhere has "tho
porty of great moral ideas" sunk so
deep in tho mire of corruption a at
tho capital of thi typical llopublioan
State, unless it be in the Sorbonian bog
which has just iwallowed np so many
political engineers of the Paeiflo Itail
road at its Washington terminus.
Tho revelations recently made in
regard to tho election of Senator
Caldwell and Pomeroy have not sur
prised anybody in Kansas. Tho only
wonder is that th explosion has been
so late in coming. Bribery and cor
ruption had passed into a proverb
among tho people of this Stale. Mr.
Caldwell protests, "on bis honor as a
senator, that he did nounng aonor
mal, according to the custom and
moral institute of Kansas, in order to
secure bia election to the United
State Senate. The speculation, be
admits, was cosily but not extrava

The only romarkriblo thing in his case
just now is, that a man of hi shrewd

he supposed himself to be only adding

fagement. Whon mon strike corrupt
argaina with tho partners of their
guilt they should be on their guard
against back handed blows "ovor the
left," especially when they deal with
such sinister customers as the legisla
tive Yorke, trained in the black arts
of Kansas.
And what is tho moral of this mourn
ful episode? Notliing more than that
which may be pointed by the whole
history of the cormntionists into
whoso hands tho control of tho Repub
lican party has latterly fallen. It is of
the nature of all fanaticisms to com
mence in duties and end in rogues.
Some who onco perhaps supposed
thomselvos to bo serving "the Lord's
cause" are now led only by Mammon,
tha least erected of tho spirits that fell
from Heaven." And to-day these
mouthing hypocrites can only sorvo as
modorn instunccs of the wise political
saw pronounced by Dr. Johnson when,
as lioswell tell us, ho onco surprised
a company by affirming that "patriot
ism was tho lust relugo ot a scoundrel.
And if the investigations now in pro-
gress shall accomplish no othor good,
they will at least driva some "scoun
drels" from the "last refngo" in which
thoy have been hilling for too many
years.
LADY LOAVEHS.
A cynical Anonyma writes to the
Cincinnati Commcrrial as follows :
Sometimes it scorns to mo that the
whole social life of women is based up
on two ideas aping and envy. The
women who lives in two little back
rooms up-stairs, apes and envies tlie
woman who has a whole house to her
self. The woman who has a small
house nnos and envies tho woman with
a large house, and the woman with a
large house is in a steady lever ot lour
and frettiug lest she bo not recognized
and visited by tho woman who bus a
stone front house ami a circus chariot
with a clown dressed up in buttons.
No matter how high up a woman
climb upon the social ladder, there is
always still some higher height which
she can't scsle, some other woman
over hor head who look down upon
her, and gives her day and nights ol
jealousy and heartache. Not a blessed
woman ot tbem all is bniipy and con
tout in tho soil wherein fate has plant
ed her, but must needs ariend ber beet
time and strength in frantic cnorta to
null herself up by the roots and trans
plant herself somewhere else. The snobs
who ride in circus chariots turn tip
their noses at the schoolmistresses, the
schoolmistresses look down from infi
nite heights upon the clerks and dress
makers, and tho clerks and dress
makers in turn pay it off with interest
upon tho kitchen girls. What non
sense, what supremo tomfoolery it all
Is a schoolmistress any better or
higher up than a washerwoman r isot
a bit And are not tho schoolmistress
and the washerwoman both infinitely
hotter and higher up than tho lady
loafers, tbo tho Stole Mooros of tho
feminino sex, in short? Yes, verily.
Women aro the most absnrd crcut-
ures, all owing to the silly fancy that
it is lady-like to bo a loafer. A lit! lo
time ago ono of my small busy house
keeper friends asked a lady loafer
caller what had become of her sister.
"Sho goes down town evory dav,
now," says tho lady-loafer,hesitatingly.
Is she at work r quoth the house
keeper.
Well, ye yes," says the lady loafer,
still more hesitatingly.
Vt hat does sho tlo 7 asked my
friend.
The lady loafer stammered and
backed off painfully, two or throo
times, and finally mado a clean breast
of it, thusly ;
"Sho she alio has chnrgo of the
trimmings in a dross-mnking estab
lishment. She has nothing to do with
tho dress-making. She has charge of
the trimmings.
SELF AND SELF-LOVE.
It would sometimes spiieur as if all
the sin and miser' that exists in the
world might justly tie traced to selfish
ness, from the child who snatches
his playmate's applo from his hand, to
the criminal who defrauds his neigh
bor ot Ins freedom, property or lite, all
evil-doors seem to lie actuated by a pro-
ponuersung scu-iove., wuicu minus
them to the rights and claims of others,
and induces every variety and degree
of misconduct, and the sorrow which
inevitably attends it. Such a view
loads many excellent people lo regard
selfaa tho principle of all evil hostile
to virtue, religion and (iod ; adverse to
the best interests of mankind, and the
great barrier to any true elevation or
power ol bcnetlconcc. To renounce, to
distrust, to sacrifice, to forget sell, is
thus the effort and the teaching of many
who firmly believe that thus, and thus
alone, can any ono bocomo humbly re
ligious or actively beneficent On tho
other hand, the impossibility of doing
this in it fullness leads to much dejec
tion and sell-reproach among those
who arc faithfully striving font while
those who most need a restraining in

in the narrow and contracted view
which 1 so commonly taken of self.

nism with all good principles and no
ble impulses, if it must conflict all hu
mility, reverence and devotion, and
wage warfare with all kindliness, be

terminate it the better. But is this to ?
What is this self which we aro so earn
estly urged to despise and renounce ?
Is it not a beautiful and harmonious
union of body and mind, of matter and
spirit, of a delicate framework replete
with the most wondrous mechanism,
and a soul with infinite possibilities ?
Certainly, all will admit, that to re
nounce our highest nature can be no
virtue, but a crime. Tbo spiritual part
of man, which proves its luporiority to

PJtOVEIlllS.
Long before Mr. Murtin F. Tapper
had deluged a patient and long-suffering
public with Proverbial Philosophy,
and, lor might that wo ran know to
the contrary, even before Solomon had
put his wisdom into an epi grammatic
dree, proverbs had become tlio currer.t
word-coin for mankind.
Truth always recommends itself by
its inherent strength, even lo those
who never make the least uso of it ;
and most people like to have it forcod
home to conviction by the smart stroke
ol a proverb.
1 believe that the universal populari
ty of proverbs is due to two reasons ;
h irst, they aro the truth, or are always
so considered ; second, they tlo not ser
monize, but come sharply and instantly
to the point "tho conclusion of the
whole matter." We use them habitu
ally to express ideas which we cannot
else express except by a tedious cir
cuity of speech ; and we have good
reason lo believo that they will be lit
tle affected by tho vicissitudes of our
mother tongue.
But how we garnish our duily talk
with them ; how we do levy contribu
tion upon the Holy Scriptures, Shakes
peare, Milton, and fifty lesser treasuries
of illustration to obtain them ; and how
much they do prove I
Tho world is surely overrunning with
virtue in tho abstract ; theoretical
Christians aro swarming about us ;
truth and iionesty and most of the vir
tues are drugs in the market, could wo
judge from the ready acceptation of
those numerous maxims which incul
cate sound morality. Yot the proverbs
aro well enough ; for tho most part they
tench corroct principles, which we
would all do well to embrace and hold
fust.
"The fault, dear Brutnl, ia not in oar rlata,
But In ourrelree."
And so in regard to the provorhs. We
profess the utmost l'uitli in them, and
trumpet them forth in a way that is
often phurisuic; but, alack, wo are often
and again grossly inconsistent in tho
practical forthshowing of our beliefs.
It has more than once occurcd to me
that there is a striking resemblance be
tween tho popular proverb and our pa
per currency. Both pass continually
from person to person, and are bundled
about tho commercial and domestic cir
cles of tho country ; both are given and
taken at full value until some call of
financial expediency makes il advisable
that they bo retired, and retired thoy
are.
The provorb is accepted by not a few
business men as tho oath of office is
taken by the political trimmer with
a mental reservation.
Who, indeed, does not allow the
proverbs to be excellent in the abstract
safe, sound rules lor tho conduct of
our duily life 1 But who among all
our acquaintances is tho perfect man
or woman who docs not shrink from a
personal application ot the exacting
proverb as tho sensitive skin shrinks

From tho time when the blessed
first-born baby begins to "notice," and
when the girl mother holds the little
chin nnd helps the lips to uiukoa sount
fondly believed to hi "niuniniii," there
is going forward a process of education.
The eye watches movements and ex

Soft words mav find future echoes in
the soft words oi the child. Graceflil
movomcnts may become a habit un

may grow up, calm, equal and uniform
in temper, or subject to changes, gusts
and tempests of passion, according to
tno example, daily witnessoa.
It folios', therefore, that men about
to marry and forecasting the futuro
(and no ono is morally ht to take the
place of husband who ignores or affects
to ignore the question of children),
should cousider what kind of an educa
tor for children the woman is likely to
bo in whom he is interested. In a few
years tho happiness of his home will
be dependent largely on Ihe kind 0
the children and that will depend on
tbo good sense, temper, grace and gen
eral competency ot tho mother. Sho
may shine in the dance, dazzle in "the
party," figure in a frolic, and yet lack
the sterlingqiinlities that impress them
selves for good on the miud of children,
When it is remembered that the

give him positive pleasuro when he is

Ono cause of much misery of the
