any weakness of the nerves or poor blood and low vitality, take immediate Dr. Greene's Nervura, acknowledged by physicians and the people to be the most remedy in the world to cuie disease. If you once give it a trial, you will know why everybody recommends it. because you will experience at once it nrarvelous beneficial effect. What gives the people everywhere such perfect confidence in it, also, is the fact that it is the prescription of the most suc cessful physician of the present day, Dr.

Special Correspondence the "Telegraph." Washington, D.

C.Jan. 29. The cloakrooms are two cozy litt.e nooks adjo.uing the hall of the House of Representatives. One is patron. zed by Republicans and the other by Democrats.

They are ready the private boxes of the legislative theater. Their doorways command good views of the chamber and galleries and of the faces and figures of the actors. Within these boxes ectric lights shed a soft radiance, and sofas and easy chairs invite weary Representatives to swtet repose. In winter a cheerful wood fiie is ever ablaze on the tiny hearth adorned with a mantel of variegated marble. Around this gather a few choice tpints, who light their pes and cigars and solace themselves with quaint stories and reminiscences, while the drowsy hum of dreary discussion is heard in the House.

The Democratic nook was a favorite resort, in days long past, of Governor Andy Curtin, Sunset Cox, Chares F. Crisp, Davy Culberson, John R. Fellows, and scores of statesmen of more or less renawn. Samuel J. Randall, William S.

Holman, Fernando Wood, and men of that i had no use for the cloak room. I.iife was too serious a matter for them. natever or verve ana vivac ty was about them was reserved for post prandal speeches or club room seances. Thev ta booed levity while in the House, and went so tar as to hang their hats and overcoats in their committee rooms in preference to the cloak room. The habitues of these cozy nooks are men whose dispositions are streaked with sunshine and who relieve the strain of legislative work by opening the safety valve of mirth.

To them an hour in the cloak room is 'ike recess to a school boy. Figuratively, they run and jump and shout, play "red lion." "pull away," and "snap the whip." To the new member this daily recess Is a revelation. At first he is dazed; anon interested, and in many cases captivated. He sees wel' known statesmen in a light entirely new, and if gifted with wit and repartee, winds up with becoming a member of the inner circle himself and contributes to the fund of enjoyment. The retailer of obsolete stories or of nHhlres reminiscences ouickly goes to seed, but tne unique original is fertilized with unrestrained appiause and flourishes like a green bay tree.

lb hits in the cloak room vary in salubrity like days in winter. The atmosphere is not always clear. Cloudy days alternate with sunny ones, or the rain falls, and at times there is a heavy frost and freezing weather. One sunny hour occurred during the debate on the civil service bi il. Silver Dollar Bland and Darid De Armond were of the party.

Oarmaek, of Memphis, sat nearest the i fire, and John Allen, of Mississippi, was struggling with an alleged perfecto. Judge Moon, of Tennessee, was twiddling his thumbs in unalloyed enjoyment, while the sunny faced Strait, of South Carolina, was extracting comfort from cay pipe mad by a Watauga They were dozen or more in the party. John Allen opened a reminiscent campaign by referring to a hot confab which had just occurred on the floor of the House. "It reminded me." said John. of a scene that happened in mv in a pitle town down in Oktibbeha county.

The sun was about on a level with the horizon, and the eh'ekens were thinking about going to roost, when a dispute arose between two lanky eiizens In front of a country store. Their larvgnage wa ouaint and idomatic. but painfnVy It would have attracted more than the usual attention in Fnnenil Hall, and it would have horrified Plymouth Church. The men Were evidently old acouairtances. awl on that account were disposed to be 'enient toward each other.

Both were armed, but neither drew a weapon. They had almost reached the border line of I passion, when the heaviest of the two i sprang into his saddle, gave his horse free and rode away. As he d'sanpeared a turn in the road, some one turned to lone man and asked him who his antagonist was. 'He's as good a friend and square a neighbor as you'll see ii a dog's age. was the response.

'The only trouble with him is that when he's drunk mind won't work at all. and when he's sober he's a cussed fooV John knocked the ashes from the alleged perfecto, and look unconcerned while hi's colleagues roared with laughter. Before the merriment had ceased Mark Smith, of Arizona, sprang into the melee. "It's a good story." said he. "and reminds me of something that baTmned several years ago in Arizona.

Two friends were riding near the Mexican border, when they were startled at body of a man sw'nging from the 'imb of a tree. It was evident that Tudae Iynch had been holdinsr court, nnd that verdict bad been rendered in ncordarwe with the evidence in the ease. Some on saved the Sheriff of the county much trouble and. ome expanse. A group of buzzards were perched on a limb above victim, gazing at a paper p'nioned nporv his back.

As my npproiehed buzzards stretched their wing rnher reluctantly, and flapped away a hundred yards or more. The horsemen rode around the body, and finPy d'vio'iered inscription on the paper. Somebody written upon it the words: 'This was very bad man in some respts. and a thundering worse in others. The buzzards were evidently in a quandary over the inscription, for the body was untouched." It was almost too ghastly a story to be amusing, but Mark's wny of telling it captured the coterie.

It's one thing to tell a story, and another thing to write The voice and accent of the narrator cannot be photographed, nor can bis facial expression be given. All these add the zest of the narration, nnd aid materially in making the denouement. The laughter over Mark's story had hardly subsided before the Hon. Ike Hill, of Ohio, burst into the cloak room with important news from Co'mnbus. where a great Senatorial fight was ragine.

Tho news started John Allen afresh. He said that the matter would probably le fixed according to the logic of a negro down Mississippi. The financial situation and its relation to the African race were relation to the African race were 1 liseussion. "I tell you. Ephriam.

i do tmbWe wid de niggah. an' don done prospah like de white under discussion. what am why he man. Yo see. de niggah he don't know how to transfer, nohow.

Now de white man Ik know how to transfer yes. in doody. Now, yere am de milk in de nut: i I done gil my note to a white man to git a hundred dollars for to make a crop wid, he done transfer it to de merchant, i Ie mercnant lie done transfer it to de commission merchant, an' de commission merchant he done transfer it to de bank, an dat bank she done transfec it to a nudder bank, and eliory one o' deni gits a hundred dollars on it but me. I has to pay a hundred dollars, 'cause I don't done understand dis yer system transfer. No.

sah: de niggah nin't gwine to prospah till he done learn how to transfer." Of course this reminiscence, to say nothing of its application, gave rise to a new stream of merriment. It encouraged the great Mississippian to a new effort. It came in pat when some one commented on the prolonged absence of a well kr.own habitue of the cloak room. "He used to spend the most of his time bore at the extra session," remarked Mr. Cochran, of Missouri, "hut he seems to have deserted us for good." "1IU desertion," broke in Allen, 'reminds me of a story toid me by the Rev.

Sam Jones some months ago. And. by the bye, Sam Jones is one of thr bes story tellers I ever met. Th's incident occurred in his early life, while he was the pastor of a country church up in the mountains of Georgia. His congregation kept up a continual assault on the outposts of Satan.

They had prayer meetings and class meetings continually, and wound up once a montti with a genuine hip and knee baptismal serv One of the most enthusiastic members of the Church was Brother Snodgrass. He always took the lead at class meetings, and was regarded as the bell wether of the flock. Suddenly he ceased enr'ne to eia meeting; nor did he appear at on Sundays. Three months had p9ed. and nothing had "seen teen of Brother Snodgrass.

One night at class meeting Brother Dusenberry got up and told hi experience. It was wll eRsoned with "amens" FDR SALE BY ALL DRUGGISTS GROCERS. and "Lord be praised." It was bo af lecting that many of the brethren and all of the, sisters were in tears. When lirottier Liusenberry took his seat, Mr. Jones said.

Brother Dusenberry, isn't Brother Snodgrass a neighbor of "Yes, Pasture," said Brother Dusenberry. "Brother Snodgrass is mv neia h. bor. He is a mighty good neighbor, and jl recKon a great aeai on him." "I am glad to hear it," the pastor re sponded. ut iSrorher Snodgrass seem to have entirely dropped hia church rela tions.

Can you tell why it is he no longer fanla tlacs mnatirifVd 3" "Well. Pasture," replied Brother Dusenberry, drawing a long breath, "you see. Brother Snodgrass has got to be a leetle quarrelsome when in liquor, and he thinks he had better keep out of a crowd." One of the best stories was told by a ew xors congressman, it was concerning Col. Tom OchiJtree, For a year or more tne uoionei had been an invalid. He has pleasant rooms at the Windsor, in ew juik.

iue iew iorK vjongressman, having some business with him, found him propped up in bed. A negro servant ushered the Congressman into the room. The Colonel was delighted to see. him, and a nveiy conversation ensued. It was in terrupted by a pronounced snore.

"Here, Jim," the Colonel shouted, "what's the matter with you. Don't go to s'eep nere. "No, Massa Ochiltree, no, indeed, Jim ain't gwine to sleep." The Congressman began to state his business, and had used up three minutes of his time, when the sonorous snore was again in vibration. A wood sawyer could not have made more noise. "Jim, you black rascal," roared the Col onel, what the thunder do you mean interrupting us in this way? Stop your internal snore; 'Deed, Massa Ochiltree, and 'deed I isn't snoring.

Jim's wide awake mmi He yeahs what you say, Colonel, 'deed he "Well, awake," the Colonel sponded. "or leave the re A third time the conversation nroceed ed, and a third time the music of a nasal Dugie vs evident. "Jim, you infernal black scoundrel," the Colonel cried, "get out of the room get out this instant. This the third time you've gone to sleep." 'Tain't me at all, massa, 'deed Hain't me," Jim replied. "Don't you know what it am, Massa Ochiltree? It am dis yere dry steam register a drawiu', dat's what it am.

'Tain't no snore at all dat it ain't." So much for the cloak room of the House. The cloak rooms of the Senate are grander and far more royally furnished. They might not impjy be termed parors or even boudoirs. Leuior.ade and mineral waters frequently flow here at the expense of the Government, and ipi are unknown. Senatorial wit is retailed from cane rockers, surrounded by ottomans, and the cozy atmosphere of the House cloak room is lacking.

The Senate represents the sovereignty of the States; the House the sovereignty of th people. One savors of the patrician; the other of the plebeian. Amos J. Cunitn.ngs. AMONG THE BOOKS.

Scrlbner's First election In Greater STew York. The first election in Greater New York polled over votes exceeding th ecmbined vote of eleven States for President in The result was known approximately by 11 o'clock on the evening of election day. The "quiet election, honest count, and quick returns" were achieved under the direction of Ihe Police Board of the then city of Now York. How this great machine was set in motion and how it worked are described in Scrib ner's Magazine for February by Police Commissioner Avery I). Andrews, in au article entitled "The Police Control of a Great Election." TLis is the first popular account of the machinery of an election, and the narrative is full of surprising facts.

A corps of artists made in various parts of the city a very interesting series of sketches, here reproduced. Labor Union nt Ii Color Iilnc, An article in the February Atlantic which will attract wide attention to an evil hitherto largely unknown and unsuspected is that upon the relations of the Labor Unions to the Negro, contributed by John Stephens Durham, late United States Minister to HaytL Mr. Durham shows the grave injustice aud injury done to the whole colored race by the system of exclusion practiced by the labor organizations of the country. He does not corsider that this was originally a conscious crusade against color, but that it is a part of the general system of exclusion, like the discrimination against women and the limitation of apprenticeship. But in effect, the color line is drawn by them so absolutely and so strictly that no man suspected of the slightest tinge of color is permitted to join a trade union, or to work in company with a union man.

throughout the United States. The result of this sweeping exclusion is to shut out the colored man, no matter how capable or how well trained from all skilled employment whatsoever, and to degrade him to depend upon unskilled labor or menial service entirely for his support. The benefit of his better service is thereby lost to Ihe employer, nnd in the cud to the whole nation. This is a wrong which injures not only the negro himself but after him the employer, who is deprived of his best services, and finally the whole nation, whose welfare depends upon the elevation of its citizens, and yet sees one tenth of its whole population arbitrarily forbidden to better their condition. Mr.

Durham reviews the situation historically, nnd shows that one hundred years ago the colored artisan labored side by side with his white comrade; that tht labor organizations were practically anti slavery at their inception; but that a they gathered strength the principle of exclusion grew among them, with the idea of shutting out from their privileges every man. who could distinctively marked, until now they maintain a universal boycott against the colored man. How this enforced degradation of so large a proportion of the whole population reacts upon, the nation, and its high social importance to tlie whole community, is a most serious problem clearly presented and temperately discussed in Dr. Durham's article.

KIRSCH CO, Reception or Evening Gown Designed for American Women hj Hirsch of Brussels. An Elegant Costume for the Carnival Season, Introducing the Most Bern ark able Color Combination. The Flounce Skirt The Advent of the Tight SIccyc Vtw Bodice Forms and Trimmings. THE RUSSIAN BLOUSE MUST GO sra.vetv is fairly instituted. All continental Europe is preparing to lay aside all seriousness and make of itself a huge bedlam, until sombre Ash Wednesday tolls in fasting and renunciation and the gnv world craving for change assumes another mask and order Is gradually reestablished.

Our model is an elegant reception or evening town may find approval in this season of social festivities. The color combination of this toilet is remarkable as cream, rose, cerise, pale srreen. steel and gold combine to make a most harmonious ensemble. The tight foundation skirt consists of cerise taffeta veiled with rose co lured gauze, over this, in turn, falls a skirt of cream colored gauze, which finally is covered by another skirt of rose color cd mousseline de sole. All this is the result of careful study on the part of the crs tumer to set off to best advantage the vx ouisite overdress of real Bruges lace, which falls gracefully to the hem of the flimsy underskirts, which form such a fairvlike foundation.

In front the lace opens, disclosing a shirred tablier of rose nioiisseline. The lining of the tight bodice is of cerise taffeta, covered like the skirt, with rose and cream colored gauze and rose mousseline. and finally with the Bruges lace. The front shows two large and very novel reveres of pale green velvet, covered with an applique of real lace, and edtred with a ruche of cerise taffeta. The loose vest exposed by the reveres is of cerise taffeta, as is also the plain high collar.

The sleeves are an adaption of the Henri III style as indeed the whole gown recalls the costumes of that picturesque period. Cerise taffeta forms the tight lining of ihe sleeves and covered with ten i of rose colored mousseline de soie over cream colored gauze. These lmffs graduating in size, are ciuwrUt by narrow gold, steel aud pearl beading, and finish at the wrist with a narrow fall of bice. A ir'u dle of gold, steel and pearls of nrtistic workmanship encircles the waist, terminating in a long fringe in front. We now imx eed to give our views and nredictions on the nouveames of the spring fashions.

Limited space and time do not rw riuir us to go into details; but we hope that oltservatioiis. which are based "1 slii.lv of iho fashion tendencH'S ikreviou.i seasons, will prove trust worthy and valuable to our interested American readers. Xo part of the costume is more eagerly watched and imitated in its developments than the skirt. This important article of clothing i ss submitting gradually to modifications, which renders it more graceful and Nt oniing. while, abandoning tiie plain a 1 straight lines, which have always ui red a certain stiffness.

The newest and most approved spring kirt is trimmed with a flounce of some xh.iiie or kind. This Uounce being susceptible to innumerable variations, great freedom will lie given to the imagination of the enterprising couturier, who, while following bis own bon gout, can remain within the strict limits of fashion and yet create the most charming innovations. Thus this lion nee may be long enough to form the entire lower part of the skirt. or it may 1k short in front and running Gradually higher at the sides until it reaches the belt at the back. For skirts of light stuffs the flounce is sriven a very airy appearance by knife or 1 accordian pleating, or it mav tie eugca with a small ruche of mousseline de soie.

In shrrrt. the coming skirt will have the effect of being tight over the hips, and vi lumiivous liekiw the knees, owing to the tlmuuv garnitures.

Tbe sleeves will soon regain normal nrooortions that is, they wiA inclose th arm tightly, in spite of strenuous opposition on the part of many famous timers, who claim that the full sleeve is more artistic and becoming, as" well as niare comfortable. As regards garnitures of bodices, we art hannv to mention that two trimmings, both equally becoming and both acknowledged favorites, both temporarily sop nressed by more striking but less graceful novelties, are looming up sig.iin on tbe torizon of spring and sumuH fashions. TWv are the yoke and zouave jacket. Both will do much to reinstall natural elegance of form and tasteful dresa.
