In the Fifty-sixth congress the apportionment bill, which ought to have been largely a matter of mathematics, engendered much heat and led to much lurid oratory. In speaking of the difficulties and aggravations growing out of the large membership of the house and the vast proportions of the hall the late Hon. Marriott Brosius of Pennsylvania grew classical, sarcastic, vehement, Biblical and poetical all at once, as follows: "It has been on rare occasions a very cave of JEolus with every wind let oose deliberation Impossible, profitable discussion out of the question, legislative business at a standstill, waiting for the storm to blow over. In these seasons of tumult the wisest head, the firmest hand and the stoutest heart available In our time have been unequal to the task of maintaining the conditions necessary to the transaction of business. Without some restriction upon the tendency in increase, the house will continue to grow until confusion worse confounded will bring the nation to shame and Invite the 'lingual curse of Babel' to put an end to the stupendous folly of attempting to legislate in a mass meeting.

"Few members of the house can be heard with distinctness In all parts of the chamber without an exertion of the vocal organs which destroys every quality of voice which makes speaking or hearing agreeable and corrupts every excellence In oratory. If it were possible for this house to vitiate the morals and principles of the people as much as It has depraved the taste and corrupted stylo in public speaking, I should cry out with Daniel Webster, 'God save the Much of what passes for debate is only an exchange of vociferations across tho chamber. An unduly loud voice is as disagreeable to most people as it was to the sensitive Cowper, who wrote: "Vociferated logic kills me quite; A noisy man is always in the right. I twirl my thumbs, fall back into my chair, Fix on the wainscot a distressful stare, And when I think his blunders all are out Reply discreetly, 'To be sure; no British House of Commons. But the late Mr.

Brosius' description of our house of representatives, nbove quoted, is quite flattering when compared with his description of the British house of commons, which runs In this wise: "Members who receive no salary and have other business easily yield to the solicitations of interest or pleasure and remain away. When lured by the expectation of a 'scene' or brought in by the when the 'division bell' cannot reach them, they swell tho crowd, but they bring little of tho element of deliberation and less acquaintance with the bearings of legislation on hand, but much subserviency to the leaders many elements of the mob and ready passions to bo played on by tho fiery orators who marshal the contendinc hosts, and the result is Uncle Joe Cannon of Illinois always takes a band in it He has aspirations to stand In history as a "watchdog of the treasury" side by side with the late Judge William S. Holman of Indiana. During the debate on naval appropriations in the Fifty-sixth congress Uncle Joe was running amuck on the bill when Mr. Dayton of West Virginia, a member of the naval affairs committee, suggested In a polite sort of way that Uncle Joe would know more and talk less about naval affairs if ho would study the subject more profoundly.

Uncle Joe retorted: "I am chairman of a committee which has charge of the preparation of bills that run along the whole field of governmental expenditures. The committee of which the gentleman from West Virginia is a member has charge of an appropriation bill that Is peculiar to the navy, and like every other specialist he magnifies It and minimizes everything else. Now, the difference between my committee and I speak respectfully of the gentleman's committee; they have much ability, they have much Integrity aud everything else the difference Is this: My friend before now has seen a hen with a brood of chickens, and she walks along and clucks now and then and does not sputter; but when you get a hen with one chicken she runs its legs off trying to take care of it." That happy retort placed Mr. Dayton hors de combat, temporarily at least Judge Gibson as a Luminary. What more Uncle Joe was going to say will never be known, for just as he finished his chicken Illustration the hammer felL He pleaded for one minute more, but Judge Gibson of Tennessee objected.

Uncle Joe looked at him reproachfully and made a bow in Gib-sou's direction which Chesterfield might have envied, remarking as he sat down, "Of course when the luminary from Tennessee rises that is the end of the whole business," which sally was received with roars of laughter and to which Gibson replied In kind by saying, "It seems that the luminary from Tennessee has eclipsed the sun from Illinois this time." Later on Undo Joe won his tight and knocked nu item of $18,000 out of the bill. "She Never Died Before." I am indebted to Mr. Kluttz of North Carolina for the following: "Two primitive minded old men, brothers, whom I shall call John and Jacob, lived near neighbors for many years In one of the counties of North Carolina. "Late oue dark night Jacob was awakened from his slumbers by John's voice outside, evidently In great distress. From inside the house Jacob called out: "'Vat the nation's the matter mlt Bruder John this time o' "'Oh, Bruder Jacop, you know my Power If you use power for any purpose you want Jt to he safe, economical and convenient.
