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... I.. -

Washington drink, for more mature
minds and tastes, find a heavy and
lucrative demand.
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.
There is no use in telling von about
