Colquitt in the Senate.
Washington, Feb. aj.—Senator
Colquitt, of Georgia, made his ap
pearance in the senate chamber to
day for the first time this session, and
he was the object of sympathetic at
tention on the part of hu fellow sena
tors
Then spreading the cards before tbe
Mayor, he began with the ace- 1
-When I see the ace it reminds me !
that there is bat one God. When I
see the deace, it reminds me of Father
and Bon. When I are the three, it
reminds me ot Father, Son, and Holy
Ghost. When I see the four, it re
minds me of the four evangelists who
preaehed^-Matthaw, Mark, Luke,
and Jobs. When I see the fire, it
reminds me of tbe five wise virgins
that trimmed the lamps There were
ten, but five were wise and five were
foolish and were shut out. When I
see the six, it reminds me that in rix
days the Lord made heaven and earth.
When I see tho seven, it reminds me
that on the seventh day God rested
from the great work be bad made, and
hallowed it. When I see the eight, it
reminds me of the eight righteous
.persons that were eared when God
destroyed the world, vix : Noah and
bis wife, his three sone and their
wives. When I see the nine, it re
minds mo of the nine lepers that
were cleansed by our Saviour. There
were nine out of tho ten that never
returned thanks. When I see the
ten, it reminds me of ten command
ments which God handed down to
Moses on tho tabiea of stone. When
I sen the king, it reminds mo of the
great king ot heaven, which is God
Almighty. When I see the queen, it
reminds me of the Queen of Sheba,
who visited Solomon, for she was as
wiso a woman as he was a man. She
brought with her fitly boys and fifty
girls, all dressed in boys’ apparel, for
King Solomon to tell which were boys
and which were girls. King Solomon
sent for water for them to wash; the
girls washed to the elbows, and the
boys to the wrists, so he told by
1 that.”
"Well,” said the Mayor,” you have
given a description of nil the cards in
i tho pack except one,”
“What is that?"
-The knave,” said the Mayor.
-I will give yonr honor a descrip
tion of that, too, if you will not be
angry.”
“I will not," said the Mayor, -if
you do not term me to be the knave.”
"Well,” said the soldier, “the
greatest knave I know of is the con-
1 stable that brought me here.
