From the New York Herald. Many curious slories could lie told shout the way news leaks out in Washington. Here arc two recent illustrations that inay adorn our tale to day. A lew nights be- J lore Secretary Manning’s illness ■ two correspondents were standing | in the main hall at the Kbbilthoiue i watetting a queer old gentleman who was writting a dispatch at til? telegraph desk. His manner chief ly attracted notice—he wrote with his hu.nl over the top ot the mes sage in such a way that even the gas light did not fall on the words he wrote. His was such comical, curious conduct that it seemed possible he might be a dynamiter or a new lobbyist. ‘The newspaper men went rouud into “the row,” and found a friend who knew the Morse alphabet. When they re turned with him the ex-telegraphist went to the counter ostensibly to send a message. There he heard the following sent to Hamilton, the president of the Northwestern Mil lers' Association at Minneapolis: “Saw Lite Secretary to-day. Kind him very favorably inclined regard ing rebate. Will get final answer to-morrow .’’ Then followed the signature. When the result was reported there was a general laugh The information was of very slight value, but it was decided to have some amusement out of it. One^tf the correspondents 6aumer ed carelessly up to tho clerk’s desk, near which the queer old granger stoodjand distinctly asked for him by name. When the stranger heard himself inquired for his eyes ex- wressed some surprise. The cor respondent introduced himself, and in the most matter of fact way ex pressed his gratification at. the re suit of the interview with the Secre tary of the Treasury. *The look of consternation that overspread the granger's face cannot be described. ‘Why, sir, 1 did not suppose that a soul in this city knew me, and I have not confided the object of my visit to a single soul. How did you learn it? he asked almost patheti cally. ‘I am employed to keep in formation on all subjects,’ replied the correspondent. ‘Any man can get news that's told him.’ ” »„rw condition III..11 !■« j.i.r „li„.

Some of the members have their little bills upon which they rely to get back to Congress. These are the men the casual observer would take to be the workers of the House. The habitue knows better and he knows, loo, that \hc.v uie frequently the butts of the House and are the targets for transient wit: One of these came up to Robertson, of Kentucky, the other day and asked h.'m to vote for a little bill which was to secure his re-election. “How much money does it take front the Treasury?” asked the red- bearded Kentuckian. “About five million,” was the reply. “Don’t you think,” said Unbelt- son, looking him from head to foot, “don’t you think that’s a pretty big price for the government to pay for your services?” All .1.

From th" New Yotk Bur. “There’s a dog that can talk,” said a stumpy little man, as he led a hobtailed bull pup across the floor of a downtown barroom yes terd iv afternoon, to where a big man with a red nose sat on an empty lager beer keg. “I’ll bet you he can’.,” said the big man. getting interested, "and you can name any figure you like. I’ve heard about that dog, and, al though I’ui a Arm believer iu the theory that dogs can lie taught to talk if taken in hand young, I don’t think that f« How can, because his heail isn’t big enough. Yes, hit, it makes all the difference in the world about the size of a dog’s head. Some dogs have such large heads that if they were properly trained they’d almost make good lawyers or bankers. Does any one mean to say that a dog that knows enough to practice all sorts of tricks hasn’t sense enough to talk if he could only get his tongue into sliapi ?” “Come here, Jim,” said the little man to the dog, that appeared to know just what was going on; “this man says von can’t talk. Now sliow him what you can do.” Jim looked wise lor about a minute; then lie looked cross eyed at the fat man, snarled and showed his mouth, which was like a chasm painted red. He walked over to bar diagonally from where the men sat, lifted his paws up on the bar piece, wagged his stumpy tail, and winked one eye at the bartender. Without raising his paw from the crosspiece Jim turned his bead deliberately around, stared back at the fat man in a familiar, good- natured way, and winked. The lal man pretended not to see the dog, but Jim kept on staring and winking by turns, and at length, when lie was beginning to look tired, blurted out a volley of sounds which said the following more plainly than some men could: “VVhatcher goin’ to have, wliis- ky’n scl/.er or plain sody? Gimme rum.” The narlcnder placed a gin bot tle in front of Jim and shoved the red rum over lo the fat man. Jim put his paw against the gin bottle anil pushed il away from him, say. iug as he did so: "Mistake. Gimme rum.” Jim’s owner poured out a small dose of rum, and the dog picked up the glass, dropped down on the floor and drank it. l’lien he held up the glass in his paws and said: “ Maaacr.” When he had drunk the water, Jim put back the glass on the bar, turned to his owner and paweu at his trousers pocket until the drinks were paid for. Then he bowed politely to the fat man and said, I “Tanks,” wagged his tail, anil 1 spurted about the barroom with an ap- of triumph which showed plain ly he knew he had donu something j big. Jim’s owner was delighted ; with Ins dog, and wanted to know i if anybody would still deny that, he couldn’t talk. “Jim is only a beginner yet,”] said the little man, “and I intend j to make him an expert English scholar helore I get through. He is only Is months old, and I never thought uliout leaching him until six months ago. It took him two months to say the tiist word, which was -Good.’ Al first he couldn’t tell nliat I wanted itiin to do, und lie would sit aud watch me for an hour at a time. One day I spent two hours repealing ‘Good.’ It grew so monotonous that Jim got mad aud struck me with his paws, but when he saw I wouldn't stop lie sat and watched my lips move. Then he begun to imitate the movement and before I knew it he began to say ‘Good,’ too. His first efforts were fecblifand modest, but the next day be could say the word quite distinctly, and kept on repeating it as he had seen me doing. “1 taught him other words, and finnllv he got so he could repeat short sonlenccs. The fun of it was Jim liked to talk, and would hardly do anything else. He would ruu after me sometimes and jump at iny face in a way that plainly indicated that he wanted to talk to me. I taught him to sav the word ‘Talk’, and after that he repeated it intelligently Jirn is no parrot. He never uses a word or sentence mat docs not express just what he means, and never gets mixed 'up either. The longest sentence he om express now is ‘I 'm tired and must go to sleep, j Good night.' Of course he does not say it quite as plain as that, but he docs very well for a dog. “Some days Jim picks up two or three words, and often It take* him two or three days to learn one. It all depends ou how he feels, and whether the words have vowels iu them or not. He is a great dog, and I am going to keep him at school until he can talk like a United States Senator.” lleFireil on Time. Lxfxjflte (lad.) C’otn*‘l. They engaged a new porter al the Ruhr House. Everybody liked him, he was so cheerful, so obliging and so rigorously and scrupulously exact in carrying out every order given him. On last Tuesday Mr. J. B. Johnson, the Vice-President ol the Omaha Chilled Plough Works, put up at the hotel. Sir. Johnson is a very dignified and polished gentleman, and extremely particular about his room and ser vice. That evening a very extra ordinary tiling occurred. Some say it was about 9 o'clock; others place it as late as 10^. At any rate, somewhere near that time Mr. John son was amazed to see the door of his room open and a man step io. “Who the devil arc you?” asked Sir. Johnson. “Oi am the porter,” replied the stranger, deliberately removing bis cost and rolling up his sleeves. “Well, what is the meaning of this singular intrusion?” inquired Mr. Johnson. Thomas did not reply. He spat upon his hands, executed a rapid and laniastic jig, and leaped sua- denly upon the astonished guest. “Help! Murder!” bellowed Mr. Johnson; "crazy man killing mel” “Shut up, ye dhirty spalpeen!” exclaimed Thomns, obtaining a firm grip upon t.he bust of bis trousers, ami propelling him rapidly out of the room; “its none of the loikes oi ye that’s wanted in a decent bouse.” “But, my good man!” gasped Mr. Johnson, his words coming by excited jerks, “there is some mis take ! Let me explain!" “Niver a ward, ye hoodlum I” re plied Thomas’ rushing him toward the stairs; “we’re on to ye! The house has had ye spotted I” The next instant the guests in the corridor were amazed to see two figures, one spluttering and kicking and the other grim and de termined, shoot down the staircase, plunge through the lobby, and dis appear into the outer darkness. Iu a few moments Thomas relumed panting ant! rolling down his sleeves. "What in the name of heaven were you doing ?” asked Mr. Week ly, the proprietor, when he recover ed sufllc.cntly from the shock to speak. “I was firing that dirty black guard, Johnson.” replied Thomas. “Firing him? Hold me, some body! Who put such an infernal idea into your head ?” “Here she is,” replied Thomas, with an injured air, holding a slate belore the proprietor’s eyes. “By—the—great—horn spoon !” gasped Mr. Weekly, and swooned away. “This was what he read: “No. 40; fire at 10:30."
