SENATORIAL COURTESY.
Vhe Gentlcmnn from the South Guy
Way nnd tho Sennte "Wns
Adjourned.
Bcnator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
owMIko member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that ho is unconscious
ly humorous.
Mr. Pettus will be 80 years old next July,
Ho belongs to the old school of southern
statesmen now fast discappearing. It is easy
to bcc. in the dogmatic manner In which ho
lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagues, that lie has been a judge. He speaks
with great deliberation, at the rate of about
six words a minute, and each word in cm-
fhasir.cd by the waving of his chin whiskers,
lis gestures arc confined to a wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo
tion. Everything he docs or says is serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he, goes about it in n way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr.
Spooncr was talking on tho Quay case, Mr.
Pettus arose.
"I should like to ,ask the senator to give
way for a motion, if he pleases," remarked
Mr. Pettus, uttering each word as if the
fate of tho nation depended upon the an
swer. "I will agree to anything the senator
wants me to," replied Mr. Spooncr, smiling
ly, "except to vote against my convictions on
a constitutional question."
"I am not asking you to do that," said
Mr. Pettus, still mysterious, "hut I want
you to give way to a motion."
"Well, what is it?", asked Mr. Spooncr.
"It is to adjourn," answered Mr. Pettus,
Id his melancholy voice and without a
imilc.
Ever' member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried, Wash

the Interiors of Their Homes.
Now that the backbone of this remarkable
winter is broken, housekeepers arc remark
ing the dingy look of the home interior. Tho
question ofnew wall coverings is up. Paper
is dear and short lived; kalsomincs are dirty
and scaly; point is costly. The use of such

there is choice of many beautiful tints; ana
it is long lasting.
