I’d rather be a low-down chain gj.ng negro than one of your little in fidcls, said Sam Jones in a recent sf rmon. You won't he in hell two minutes before you’ll be hopping around in the fire and yelling: What a mistake I made.’’ I have some respect for Boh Ing.srsoll, be cause I10 can get S200 a night for his lecturing. But s)mc of these little fellows arc infideh for nothing, pay 82 to hear Ingersoll and hoard them- selvos. T understand you ate all running society” here pretty lively, Society! A pair of 75 cent slippers and a 81-25 wasp bonnet lets you into it. There is no manhood in it. The fruits of society, so called, are the dude and dudinc. If you don’t like what I’m saying just get up on your hind logs and slide out. Sam uses some mighty rough lan guage, but it takes strong language to describe some of the people he tackles.

Washington, May 25.—If Speak er Ivced follows out his present inten tions, lie will appoint Air. Blount or Mr. Turner, of Georgia, to succeed Air. Carlisle on the committee on ways and means. If he should ap point Mr. Blount, lie would get out of appointing Mr. Mills as Mr. Carlisle’s successor on the committee on rules, on the plea which lie used before, that lie could not take two democrats from the way! i and means committee, and he eoulc'i then appoint Mr. Wilson of West V irginia, on the committee on rules. Should he appoiuit AD. Turner on the.- committee on ways and means as lie. would like to do for Air. Turn er’s sake, beattsc he lik.is Mr. Turner, he would find it difficult, to avoid ap- do'inting Air. Mills on the committee on rules. Mrs. Ben Hill, Jr., Dead Atlanta, Ga., May 25.—Mrs. Ben II.
