THE UNION TIMES. |< M. W. CULI', Ki?:k?i:. Our Correspondents. from 'ihe seat of government. W.\ 1,11 INt.TON, D. C., April 20.? .Notwithstanding tint temporary absence of "Our ben," who is stumping in the West for "free silver" ami in cideutally kissing female suffragists in Colorado and drinking tea with Mrs. Lease in Kansas, we are having the hottest time on record by eight deggrces lor this season of the year. The ice cream and soda water dealers are suddenly doin*' a bonanza business; and the verniers of "lime punches and riekovs" :li? l ........O...

The summer gil l is hero in all her glory, with bloomers and without, (i.e.?sometimes she wears 'em and at other times a skirt) and i have been keeping indoors somewhat, since 1 was run over by a dashing female in blue bloomers, who was riding a bicycle, the other day, while trying to "make the pass' on the corner of New York Avenue and Fifteenth street. If; like excelsior, 1 had met the old gentleman mentioned where Longfellow says: "Try not the pass, 'i he old man cried! 1 would probably have avoided catching a hundred and forty pounds of female lovliness upon my iNindow bicens, which 1 certainly del, and 1 am thankful that m> Kodak lriends were nr und at the time. Congress w ill not adjourn before the first of Juno, and the patriots are industriously drawing their salrries and taking turns going home on leaves of absence t<? work up prcsidental booms and lneatilime insuring their own ro clcetion. Cuba's friends are anxiously and almost hopelessly waiting for the President to recognize o O the beiigercney of the insurgents, and (jrover is presumably trying to keep cool, avoid any precipitate action, and probably reviewing the chances of a rcnominulion. The hoicks are. at piesent, doing a heavy business, the tourists travel being unusually large, office seekers, as usual, crowd the city, and a congressman's life is not altogether a bed of roses in the Capital, as there are , always callers upon his influence and bounty, if he controls anv, both bv hunters of office and impecunious constituents. Ortr worthy ami able representative, Mr. Wilson, is making a good record hero and stands very high for a new member, among the Congressional Colons and the public.
