From the Waihiugton Star. How do I manage to I a bowling swell on a salary of 1.200 a year? repeated young Trotter of the treasury department. Why, my dear boy, it's the simplest thing in the world, 1 economize on the necessaries of life, so as to devote my income as far as possible to luxuries. I can go without a meal with entire philosphy to luxuries. I can go without a meal with entire philosophy, but to forego a cigar when I want one would make me feel poor aud occasion me corresponding distresa.

When Congress adiourned last vear Senator Cockrell visited Jefferson City. here a number of his wife relatives reside.
