that the House does not appreciate

the bureau of bugs. I deny that

Mr. Chairman, I have only risen for
the purpose of having the House undor
stnhd the ultotmhihg effect of those |
agvicu'tuml reports, not only upon tho |
poople iu the country, but the people in j
the city. 1 acknowledge that the effact
is different according to locality. I now
represent a city, though by some misap
prehension in the last campaign the
pebtile of New York State outside of our
grand mcfrdpolM voted for me to repre
sent them. I fell short in t'ie country.
[Laughter ] To be sure I carried trut |
city by some twenty five thousand '.
Though I may tldt, owing to misappre
hension, be with you next Congress
[Laughter.] I must refer to the effect
of these rep-rts on the city. The effee*.
upon the wicked city of Philadelphia, l
which acted so badly in the late election,
[laughter.] is c-cpe ially notable. I re
fer to it for the purpose of calling the
attention of my friend !rom Philadelphia
(Mr. KcUcy to the dreadful onftcquen
ees he iir.po"f?s upon his constituents iu
sendi ig those reports into the heart af
Philadelphia. Head very slowly, Mr.

' We owe rnr tharf!:* US Judge Kel!dy
for the latest Patent Office report. Wc
already h.:v: s'xt.^n huudrcl of those

ntlt they have b?en read aril reread so
many times that we know eve.-y pnge of
theiii by heart. This new volune came
r?j p vtuncij r/.nd jt'i'tefnlly ou Chris*
ir as morning, and that rJigrlt wo gathev
od our little family around the fire and
r ad it through to them. The affecting
ta'c, entitled "Improvement in Monkey
Wrenches,' s emed to touch every heart
[laughter.] .md when we came to the
climax of the little story about 'Rever
sible Pie Hourds,' thero was riot a dry
eye between tho front door and the
stable. [Lni;nhtuf ] During the read
iog of the .piteous narrative, 'Gum
W ishers for Carriage Axles,' the whole
family gave cx^res^iou to boisterous
emoti >n, and the hired girl was so much
excited that sh. lost her proseoce of
mind ane* went around to her mother's
madvurtuu'.ly with six p muds of sugar
and butter kettle full of flour, aud came
home at midnight iiltoxteated. [Laugh
ter ] Wc can never sufficiently thank
.Judge Kelley for the innocent euj >y
mcnt thus furnished us. The memory
of that happy evening will linger in our
minds very much longer than that hired
gill ever lingers when she lights on a
lot of substance which she thinks wiil
suit the constitdtiod of her ige 1 Jpar |

President Grant is not alii.: to I to i
eoiucisaiion.il chaff, but he occasionally |
amu*ea himself at the expense of his j
Democratic friends. At tho White
House reception ? few days sgo a New
York City representative st<?od near the
President watching the douse crowd
surging along. "Mr. President," aaid ;
ho, "this crowd increase* every week.
1 his is getting to bo a great country."
Yen said the president smiling; "we are
beoouiing a great people aud now that
i ho Democrat iu party is crushed there it
nothing to obstruct our national progress
"Hut," taid the Congressmen,"the poet
says that truth crushed to earth will rise
agrtiu." ' Very true," replied the Presi
dent ; "only I fail to see the retcmblauoe
between truth ttndlhe Democratic party.
