Jokes of Congressmen, A correspondent of the Richmond South thus describes an episode in his trip from liiclimond to Washington : "Of course, no one can get within gunshot of tlie capitol without, inhaling some of the odors of Congress, and I was regaled with a choice conversation between two congressmen, who were givin : an outsider an account of some of the doings at Wash!..???>. ?r *1.~ ? _ i"g?w/u. vuu *?i ?uu vun^icsmmiicii >>;i? u very largo, pear-shaped old follow, with rather a small head for a man of his huge proportions, who indulged unscrupulously in those discarded Yirginianisms, ichar and thar.

The conversation turned upon the franking privilege. The big Virginian saidhconee sent a newspaper to an old North Carolinian, whose name had been furnished him, and. of course, had never thought nf tlu< thing again. Some years afterwards ho happened to be in North Carolina, and an old man accosted him saying, "llello, mister, 1 got that p..per you sent me, and I cut out all the advertisements and stuck some up here in my porch, and the others I sent round to my neighbors.

Internal Antipathies, based on sectional difference, fed by selfish ! interest and taunting debate, finally oxplo- | ded in the quarrelsome parties of another, and hurled its dissevered fragments to ruin by the convulsive eruption of its own wrong and hatred. Of all the mighty empires whose melancholy ghosts now pace the pallid margin of oblivion, not one ever sunk but its fall was through internal iniquity, in some way or other.

These women nrn t'onff.-illv ?i.~ ?- wvlv,,n vi HI iiiu fullest souse of tho torni.

Even the President was not safe; and rumor has it that the war was carried into his smn?tnivi ami that tlu statesman of half a century, had to quail before the modern Xatilipjv$. At last, in the course of events, sho n?i?fc? distinguished Senator from n Now England State, who has atonguoof his own,ami knows how to uso it. Iler battery was at once opened. Round shots, bombs, shells, cannister, slugs, grape and " R. R." were poured imo the dignitary without mercy, and without oven a pause for breath. When the had literally "gin out," as Sam Slick would say, the Senator asked if her son was with her.* She replied by calling Spoony to her, who came, like a "Soueers" bov for his "nmlansnft and brimstono," and was duly presented. " la this the young man whom you want appointed?" asked the Senator. " Yos, sir," the mother replied ; "and Oh! sir, bo's set bis heart upon it, and it will be a great disappointment, and 1 hope"? , " pardon, nindam, but did you say you wanted lain to enter the army?" " Yes, sir, tlie Dragoons if you please."

There is an English lady now in this ci'y, whoso dross, known in London as the "poas ant costume," has caused quite a stir among tho fashionables. The dress consists of a red and blank striped potticoat, descending within six inches of tho ? Ct, ovef which is worn a dress of the usual length, but iooped up to tho height of tho skirt. A " cTrcaduought" overcoat with gilt buttons, serves to keep out the coal ami dump; while a straw hatqdj'ocus the head, ami real, genuine long-loggo-l hoots protect the foot. I do not think tho dross very neat or pretty, but it is novel, and that is something. It is considered an improve ment on tho Bloomer costume. In all tho mini of a Washington winter, it is a much better dross than tho street swooping machines which so long prevailed. - * - ?
