Documents lu the Congressional li?

there were some amusing dobatea in'
congress concerning the devices the'
coins should hear, 'l'here Is one ae-j

lor the silver dollar.
It appeal's that a member ot the
house from u southern state bitterly
opposed the choice of the eagle ou uc
couut of its being the-."kluK of birds,"
und hence neither suitable nor proper
to represent a nation whose Institu?
tion? mid Interests were wholly lu
tinleal to monarchical forms of govern?
ment.
Judge Timelier lu reply had playfully
suggested that perhaps a goose might
suit the gentleman, as It was rather a
humble ami republican bird mid would
uIho be serviceable in other respects,
us tlte goslings would answer to place
u|iun the dimes.
This reply created considerable mer?
riment, and the Irate southerner, con?
sidering the humorous rejoinder an In?

be branded us it cowardV"
"Certainly. If he pleases." replied

! PLIGHT OF THE ACTOR.
Behind the Beerte? He le, In a Manner,
a Prisoner.
In a way, behind the scenes la a pris?
on, it is surely Olio of tho very few
plates where Intelligent men and wo?
men are locked In their plate of work
and where no massage from the out
Blde world Is allowed to reach them.
There is a tradition that actor folk are
of unusually emotional temperament,
and If therefore a telegram Is received
at the btngo door it Is never delivered
until after the performance. The uioh
i sago might be iiu luvltnllou to supper,
or It might announce thut the actor's
favorite brother has been banged, or It
might be tin offer in u stock company
to ploy twelve times ? week, or It
might tell the actor that bo was the
I father of twins or that his wife would
die without seeing bliu again unless
be came at once to her bedside, but all
of this Information Is supposed not to
be good for the actor's emotional dis?
position, aud the telegram is therefore
given ?io biuuc distinction as the
"innsb" note and kept until after the
performance Is finished. It ennupt bo
said dial the actor's emotional dispo?
sition is very seriously considered be?
yond the cast Iron rule In regard to
telegrams. Ills comfort and Intelli?
gence have been slightly Haltered in
a few theaters of very recent date, but
for the most part the condition of
behind the scenes in most playhouses
is not calculated to breed particularly
high thoughts of any kind. As u matter
of fad, bo Is treated little better than
when be was only a "strolling" player
?a gypsy?several centuries ago.?

PLUG" TOBACCO.

"All the difference In the world In
tobacco. I've tried tweuly different
kinds, and none Is na good as thut we
used to make ourselves down on the
farm. Wo would take a maple log
while 'twas green nnd bore a dozcu
boles In It with n two Inch auger.
They were our molds. We selected our
choicest tobacco uud soaked It for n
week or more lu wild honey. Then
we'd take the leaf to tho log, get a
good hickory tamping stick and go to
work.
i "A little ball of the honey soaked to
ltiieoo would be put in the auger hole
and tnmped In with the stick and u
hammer. We'd pound it in solid. Hal!
.?nier ball would be rammod In ami
pounded until the whole became u sol
id plug. Wbeu the hole was nearly
full, wc would pound lu the plug, aud
then the log would be put away to sen
sou. As the wood dried the moisture
would be drawn from the tobacco.
And when It was split the sweetest
tohucco ever made was taken from It,
We called It 'plug' tobacco, nnd that's
