BED-HEADED CONGRESSMEN. It Is Proposed. That They Shall All Be Sworn in at the Same Time. From the Xew York Sun. Washington, Dec. l.— According to the Evening Star there are twenty-seven red headed Representatives in the new House. The number is vouched for by an officer of the House who has kept a record. There are many with sandy hair and hair that is almost red—red enough to attract a gray horse —but none of these are counted. Twenty-seven heads to match against twenty-seven horses of pure white, heads that are pronounced red with out qualification or excuse, will he assem bler! m the House on Monday, and will light that body on its way to wisdom next win ter. There may be more yet to come, as the returns are not yet complete. There is a superstition which causes many members to hope great things from a Congress pos sessing this striking feature. Many Con gresses have been noted for their gray beads and bald heads, and some, it is said, for their pig heads, but no Con gress before could boast more than half a dozen red heads. It is proposed that they all be sworn in at once, standing in a circle as of fire around the Speaker’s desk, and there will be an anxiety on the part of each committee to get one for good luck. As there are forty-seven stand ing committees there will not be enough to go around, so there may be a pretty sharp rivalry. One suggestion, to avoid complications that now threaten, is that the Committees on Ways and Means and Appropriations be composed entirely of red beaded men. It is suggested also that all the mounted messengers be required to ride white horses. So many red heads assembled together is supposed to mean vood luck, and this is expected to turn out a “red-letter” Congress. One of the reddest heads is that on the shoulders of McShano, of Nebraska, who is very rich and is said to be a general good fellow. Not less pronounced in hue is the bead possessed by Mr. Boothman, of Ohio. Mr. Byrnes’ beat! has been in Congress for one session, bavin# succeeded the famous head of Mr. Belford, who was familiarly known as the “rea-headed rooster of the Rockeys.” Mr. Vance, of Connecticut, has a fine red head. The locks of his colleague, Mr. Russell, are a bright sandy, but he is not admitted into this list. Mr. Pennington, of Delaware, has an undisputed right to appear in the classification among the mascots, The claim of Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, has been established in the past. There can be no question about the color of his hail - . Mr. Matson, of Indiana, is tne only one who is admitted with some hesita tion, but his friends urge that his hair is red enough for all practical purposes. His colleague, Mr. Cheadle, can answer for the two, and if his name were not Joseph B. it would be Rufus. Mr. Daniel Ketr’s hair is red; that of his col league is of a hue deep, rich and rare. Mr. Coruth’s head is only sandy, so lie must be excluded, with Rush of Maryland, Morse of Massachusetts, and Tarney of Michigan, who have not the requisite redness. John Lin has red hair, so lias Felix Campbell, as everybody knows. Ira Davenport’s deli cately tinted locks were much admired during the last Congress. John S. Hen derson of North Carolina, Binger Herman of Oregon, and John Dalzell of Pennsylva nia, all have red heads. Neal of Tennessee, and Silas Hare of Texas bring two more good red heads to swell the number. Vir ginia furnishes three red heads, worn by T. 11. B. Browne, W. H. F. Lee and Jacob Yost. Wisconsin has Guenther and Isaac Stephenson. Mr. Thomas’ hair is not a clear red, but his whiskers make no apologv. Smith of Arizona, and Voorhees of Wash ington Territory are the two rod-headed Delegates. GARRISON’S ADVENT IN ST. LOUIS. His Frightful Death Recalls a Chapter from Dickens’ “American Notes." From the New York Tribune. St. Louis, Dec. I.—The death of C. R. Garrison, who with his brother C. K. Gar rison, met death on Mo day morning in a Webb City zinc mine, recalls the fact that bis advent in St. Louis attracted interna tional attention. It was in January, 1842, that Charles Dickens, on his first tour in America, left the EasJ for a trip through the West He came out to St. Louis in that journey, and by June 7 was back in the Rest. It was on his travels from Louisville to St. Louis by steamboat, that he met with a baby, who figured in a scene so sweetly described by the novelist that thousands of persons will think tenderly of the person who made an impression upon the great writer. The baby described in what fol lows was C. R. Garrison: ‘‘On the fourth night after leaving jLouis ville we reached St. Louis, and here I wit nessed the conclusion of an incident, trifling enough in itself, but very pleasant to see. There was a little woman on board with a little baby; both little woman and little child were cheerful, good-looking, bright eyed and fair to see. The little woman had been passing a long time with her sick mother in New York. The baby was born in her mother’s house, and she had not seen her husband {to whom she was now returning) for twelve months, having left him a month or two after their marriage. “Well, to be sure, there never was a little woman so full of hope and tenderness and love and anxiety as this little woman was; and all day long she w ondered whether “he” would be at the wharf; and whether “he” had got her letter; and whether if she sent the baby ashore by somebody else, “he” would know it, meeting it in the street; which, seeing that he had never set eyes upon it in his life, was not very likelv in the abstract, but was probably enough to the young mother. She was such an artlesss little creature, and was in such a funny, beaming, hopeful state, and let out all this matter clinging close about her heart so freely that all the other lady passengers en tered into the spirit of it as much as she. There was one little weazen, dried-apple faced old woman who took occasion to doubt the constancy of hus . bands in such circumstances of bereavement; and there was another lady (with a lap dog) old enough to moralize on the lightness of human affections, and yet not so old that she could help nursing the baby now and then, or laughing like the rest when the little woman called it by its father’s name and asked it nil manner of fantastic questions concerning him and the joy of her heart. Then a groat crowd of people rushed on board, tnough the boat was not yet made fast, but was wandering about among the other boats to find a landing place; and everybody' looked for the hus band; and nobody saw him; when in the midst of us all —heaven knows how she ever got there—there was the littlo woman cling ing with both arms tight around the neck of a lino, good looking, sturdy young fellow. And in a moment afterwards there she was again actually dapping her littlo hands for joy as she dragged him through the small floor of her small cabin to look at the baby as he lay asleep. At the Club. From Town Topics. Tom—• You’ll admit Ethel has a pretty mouth! Dick—Really, old man, I never noticed. To tell the truth, when I try to look I man age to get too close to see. A Wonderful Food and Medicine. Known and used by physicians all over the world. Scott’s Emulsion not only gives flesh and strength by virtue of its own nu tritious properties, hut creates an appetite for food that builds up the wasted body. "I have been using Scott’s Emulsion for seve ral years, and am pleased with its action. My patients say it is pleasant and palatable, and all grow stronger and gain flesh from the use of it. I use it in all cases of wasting diseases, and it is specially useful for chil dren when nutrient medication is needed, as in marasmus.” T. W. Pierce, M. D., Knoxville, Ala.

CHICHKS CHESTER CHEMICAL CO., Philadelphia. Pa. LUDDEN <fe BATES S. M. EL It tie lb OF THE Pianos of llie lij! Messrs, Chickering cb Sons: Gentlemen—About two years ago I had occasion to use one of your Concert Grand Pianos. At the time I was so much im pressed with its general excellence that I have continued using your pianos both for my concerts and for my own private use since. This has been done with the greatest satis faction to myself, and I can truly say that my decision has been justified by the re sults. Your pianos possess in a superlative degree all the excellence required in a first-class piano. While retaining the wonderful sing ing quality for which the Chickering Piano has always been so justly celebrated, and has held the highest position in the art in dustries, you have gained the maximum of power, still retaining the even balance of the scale throughout all the registers. These qualities combined with the perfec tion of the action and general mechanism have placed your pianos, in my estimation, at the head of the pianos of the day, and enables me to say with enthusiasm that I prefer them to any other make. [Signed] Wm. H. Sherwood. September 1, 1887. And so it goes. Gottscbalk, Talberg, Joseffy, Liszt, Rive King, Sherwood, and in fact about all great piano virtuosos of the world, unreservedly pronounce Chickering the leader. Rival makers may dispute this claim, but “facts are stubborn” and won’t/ be set aside. Superb new styles just opened. Abso lutely perfect in Tone and Action. Factory prices, easy terms, at L k B. S.

With.the HEATERS I can warm either of the rooms above that which the HEATER is in. and with less fuel than I could one room with an open grate.
