It has grown to be the fashiou to say that Congress accomplishes nothina. except to disturb trnd*. but It that is *o, it is nut due to idleness. Accom­ plish iug no filing was never before so laborious to task. House memb"rs are tlie busiest people in the conntry, with their caucuses, their incessant commit­ tee meetings, thelt speeches and prep­ aration, their dense correspondence with constituents, and interviews with visitors. The iiouse. too, turns out a vast amount of work, «lts committers being efficient agencies for trdu'satt* lug business.

There were several men «-hwt»j#«l around the store In the bark room of a Galveston saloon--says the veracious Neio*. of that city--and somehow or other the subject of newspapers raine up for discussion. One man saM that editors were more Jealous of encli other than any other cla*"; that they never bad a good word for each other, etc. A long-haired youth, wltti a *n!*mn look, spoke up, and, heaving a sigh, said that he had hfed some experience with editors, and he found them the reverse of jealous of each other, that a Texa* editor waii always willlug'to deuy.him- self comfort for the bensttto'f a brother editor. "Where did that happen J" "It happened In a Western Taxas towh where 1 lived," sighed the young man. ; '•I had dashed oft a little |»oein of ten or fifteen cantos about Beautiful Spring There were two rival papers in the place--tlie Bugle and the Trombone,-- I had lietrd that the editors wore deadly enemies, and sighed to shed oach other'seore, and t was afraid If I let the Trombone publish my poem first there would be a deadly encoun­ ter. I flnal!y resolved to have It appear simultaneously in both papers. When tcalled on the editor of tho Tromton# he said that the editors of the Bugle ha3 a large family, and that he would prefer it to appear In the Bttgl«, a* personally he loved the editor of tho Bugle. I went to the Bugle math, ami he said the editor of the Trombone was his warmest personal friend, and lie would be glad If I would let him have the poem, as it would be putting bread in his mouth and clothes on hi* back.-- So, owlug to the love those editors' had for each other. I couldn't get my poem Into either of their papers, aud it Wasn't been published yet.- I never saw* men so anxious to help each othdr out of distress,** and once more the. long-haired poet sighed like a bellows. There was a pause, and an old coon with a frost-bitten nose drawled out:-- "You never tried tliein same editors with a cash advertisement, did yer?"
