A 7l1T(.OTOMLNION SKETCR.
Count Sckolinek,, a Polish noble, had
aken part in one of the last insurrections u
f Poland. Beaten, and made prisoner, he e
as soon condemned to death. Heo had a 0
ife, and a son ten years old, whose name ti
as Stanislane. At the terriblenews that sI
or husband was about to die, the Coun- o0
esg, overwhelmne with grief takes her ai
hild by the hand, and, retiring to her ora- IC
ry, kneels with him before a statue of T
or Lady of 8orrows. "Blessed Virgin a

ith emotion, "pray for us! protect us ! P

iding her tears in her handkerchief, with Ci
or face further concealed under the im- th
ense bonnet she had adopted for the oo- th

rrow, passed again before the jailor,
rawing along with her by her side, her
eeping child. The cell of the condemned

The day appointed for the First Comm.
alon was approacshing. Stanislana bad
not mentioned his letter to either his father
or his masters; he bad spoken much about
it to God; he had counted the days and the
boars; he bad said to himself, " Beforemy
First Communion, I will make a novena to
the Blessed Virgin ; I will so time it that
it shall finish just as I am about to receive
absolution, and I will pray so hard and so
well that our Blessed Liºdy will be obliged
to give me back my mother."
Tie eve of the" great day "had arrived.
According to pionus custom, the parents of
the children had been requested to come
and give their sons the blessing they de
sired. Count Sckolinski came with the others.
Statislaus ran to him and embraced him;
then devoutly kneeling, he received the
paternal benediction.
" I have now your blessing," said the
child, '" but I hope also to have my mo
ther's."
The father said nothing.
"You know mamma is to come back,"
continued Stanislaus. The Count only
sighed. " I want her to be present at
my First Communion and she will be
there. And now I must tell you all about
it, father dear. Do you see, I have made
a novena to the Blessed Virgin-it finishes
at five o'clock ; I shall go to confession and
receive absolution at four ; then I shall be
as pure as the angels, and I will entreat the
Mother of our good God to give me back
my mother this evening or at least to-mor
row without fail."
"' Ah I" sighed the Count interrupting,
and trying to smile ; but being unable any
longer to endure the conversation, he went
away.
It was five o'clock in the evening; Stan
eilaus was going to the poitei'e !o ig, when
be was met by one of the priests beiungieg
to the house.
" Where are you going, child t"
" To see if anybody has called for me."
" But your father came this morning."
" Ah, sir, I am expecting some one else;
I expected mamma."
" But your mother is vot in Paris."
" She is coming back, I am sure."
" My dear child, I quite understand your
desire and your prayers, but let as have no
distractions to-night; my dear boy, the
hour for receiving visitors is gone by; so
return to your companions."
The novena was finished, and the child
imagined that the proper thing for the
Queen of Heaven to do was to give him
back his mother there and then. Not
to go to the porter was therefore an im
mense sacrifice; he made it however gen.
erously. " After all," he said to himself,
" when my mother arrives she will ask for
me." Sx o'clock strikes, then seven, then
eight, " * * " no one. Supper is
over, and all the boys are preparing to go
to theirirdormitories. S:anialauswas a little
discouraged. " " *While all this wasgoing
on, a woman, badly dessed,' looking worn
and haggard, had entered the porter's
lodge and asked to see young Sckolinski.
The porter, taking her to be an impostor,
and being, moreover, suspicious on ac
count of the lateness of the hour, refused
point-blank to call the child. At last how
ever, overcome by her importunity, he con
sented to allow to the Countess (for it was I
she) to go to the window, and just look at
the pupils as they crossed the yard. Stan
islaus, who still hoped for his mother's re
turn, stepped a little out of the ranks to I
cast up a glance at the porter's lodge. The
mother had only time to exclaim: " There
he is-there I there !" and uttering a cry,
fell fainting.

PUBLIC CHARACTERS AT WASHINGTON. a
PROCTOR KNOTT. a
Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, is one of the
score of men in the present House of Rep
resentatives who have a national reputa
tion. He is supposed to be the great hu
morist of the body, and is commonly allu- t
ded to as the funny Chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee. It may look like an af- t
fectation for putting paradoxes to say so;
but I am free to confess that I never saw a
more matter-of-fact, serious person in my c
life. I had a preconceived notion of him °
as a tall, dashing young Kentuckian, with 8
a fine voice, fiery manner,exuberant imag t
ination and unlimited control of language; d
the reality is a strange contrast to the pic
ture drawn by the fancy. Proctor Knott p
is a very common-place, oldish looking 0
man, who wears plain clothes, uses plain
language, and draws as little public atten
tion to himself as any one occunpying his
place can. He is rather below the middle
size, has abundant gray hair and a small F
gray mustache, which lacks the elegant a
droop of Fernando Wood'e. His eyes are c
not good, and indeed the only remarkable
feature about him is his forehead, which is
very broad and full, appeal ingactually much
wider than any other part of the face. It g
is not very high, but indicates intellect. r
Thus far in the session the Chairman of
the Judiciary Committee hasspoken main
ly on business topics, and spoken like a p•
business man. He has made no attempt at w
oratory, asimply answering questions or Is
making explanations, as if he possessed no a]
suech faculty as imagination and was ut- c,
terly devoid of the sense of humor. His w
voice is not very strong, and his style of te
delivery is unpretentious, so that he might d
be set down as one of the driest and dul- t
lest members of the House were it not for It
the brevity and conciseness which charac- tc
terize his remarks. In this hie constantly al
betrays his first rate capacity as a lawyer. si
Mr. Knott made his reputation as a wit .1
by his speech on Duloth, which is familiar he
to every schoolboy in the country. It was al
delivered while he was a member of the re
Forty-second Congress, late one afternoon, hi
when matters were unusually dull, and it H
made an immediate bit. The members dl
orowded about him to listen, the news- Ii
i-spotters wore eapivd, ad thel ta
-Swb wa* mE
on say that in tone and gesture the speaks
made his delivery set off the discourse
.- Hsa argument on the national debt, wbicl
ad presents the extent of it, illustrated b,
er every possible whimsical method, wasi
at a more masterly production, but is not -s
be popular. The Kentuckian's humor is no
y an ever flowing tountain. It is a matter o
to thought, elaboration and study, and ths
at disposition which prompts him to exercise
e it comes but rarely. This Is true of hi,
so private as well as his public life; anc
id those who know him intimately can onlj
recall rare instances In which they have
d. enjoyed the play of his imagination. He
of must therefore be set down as one of those
e sad and melancholy wits of whoen. liters.
e. tore has said so mi:ch; and there was no.
. thing incongruous in the appointment ul
himl to the Chairmauship of the Judiciary
, Committee, which struck the people at
first as a sort of farce. It would be diM
e cuolt to find a more painstaking, methodical
man. He seems so' by nature rather than
from policy ; and the spirit of fun fnds ex
pression in the use of the pencil rather than
n the tongue or pen, for he is one of the most
9 skilful caricaturists in the country, rivalled
it by only one or two of the leading profes
ie sional artists.
it It is to be regretted that Knott, having
Ie the faculty of humor, should not make
more frequent use of it-not merely because
d the proceedings of Congrese are so dull
e thatit would be a public benefector who
e would ealiven them, but because humor is
k such a powerful weapon in the hands of one
skilled in its management. It is a rare
gift, and those who possess it seem in some
measure ashamed of the endowment, and
y arealways straining after a reputation for
t solid learning or respectable dulness.
They fling aside the rapier which they can
handle with perfect mastery, to grasp a
clumsy mace which they cannot swing. It
g is hard to understand why men who have
wit consider it a kind of weakness, when
they cannot but perceive what an element
,, of strength it is in such a mind as Shakes
peare's, and when their own experience
teaches them its potency among men.
Even in the gravest assemblage the audi
ence becomes alert and attentive when a
man of humor rises to speak, and his origi
nal and whimsical presentation of argu
ments gives them a force which vehemence
and brilliant rhetoric cannot bestow. In
Congress we often hear quick repartees,
ill-natured sneers and intense irony; but
that playful, fanciful ridicule, which comes
into a fierce debate like a cool shower on a
hoteummer's day, is as infrequent as the
blossoming of an aloe. There are dozens
of Representatives who can make an elo
quentepeech, but only two or three who
can make a witty one; and as scarcity is
an elemept of commercial value, wit is
consequebtly m.re precious than eloquence.
Only those who have sat for hours listening
to overstrained voices, overstrained bursts
of passion, overstrained arguments, c in
appieciate the relief which it cool, airy,
humorous eveech affolds. The great ne
cret of Sam Cox's power lies in his hun:or,
and the fact that he cannot help giving
way to it. If he could restrain his pro
pensity for fun he would doubtless be as
heavy and as ineffective as his neighbors ;
but his whimsicalities break out in spite of
him, and when he rises the House becomes
hushed and men yield to ridicule who had
steeled themselves against invective. Itis
the old fable over again : The sun and the
wind contended as to which was the more
powerful and tested the matter by attempt
ing to take away the traveller's cloak. The
wind howled fiercely about him and
snatched at the corners of the garment and
tugged at its folds, but the more it bluster
ed the more closely the traveller wrapped
himself up; the sun shone out warmly and
he cast aside the cloak as useless in the
genial heat. No better illustration of the
force of humor could be asked than was af
forded on the debate on the Consular and
Diplomatic Appropriation bill. The Re
publicans who had been stoutly contending
against is provisions as enforced by the
appeals of Holman, Singleton, and others
for economy, actually gave way under the
rollicking ridicule with which Cox held up
the services of Read leading the country -
dance with the Qieen of Greece and the
Consul at Tripoli defending the national
honor against the soldier who wanted a
drink out of his well. They grew ashamed
of the cause which had been so laughed at,
and only two of them voted in the opposi
tion to the measure which many had made
speeches against. The moral of all this is
that humor is a faculty to be encouraged,
not repressed.
EXTORTION AT THE CENTENNIAL -Ex
tortion on the part of the restaurants on
the Centennial ground is already attracting
the attention of the Dress. The New York
Tribune puts the French restaurant, the
" Trois Freres," as conspicuous in this
course. A late letter of its correspondent
says: ' A distinguished member of Con
gress, with a party of friends, took a light
lunch there. There were five of them and
they drank no wine. The bill was twelve
dollars. Two bunches of lettuce, that cost
perhaps three cents apiece, were charged
one dollar. APhiladelphia journalist went
with a lady to this temple of high living
and paid four dollars for a very small
chicken, a little bread and butter, and a
bottle of claret that would have ranked in
France as vin ordinaire, and been included
in the menu without charge. A New
Yorker went in and, astonuded at the
charge of ninty-five cents for a cup of colf
fee and two cakes, refused positively to
pay. After a conesultation between the
garcon and the restaurateur the bill was
reduced to thirty five cents."
A FEARFUL SITUATION.-A lady of this
place says the Whitehall (New York) ~imes,
was quietly sitting at her sewing, one day
last week, when she observed a neighbor
approaching the house whom she did not
care to see. She quickly dropped her
work, and stepped into a closet, so as not
to be "at home" to her caller. The closet
door closed with a spring and imprisoned
the lady. The caller, finding the lady ab
sent, did not stop, but when the lady tried
to open the door she discovered. alas ! that
she was a prisoner. The lady realized that
she was consuming the air very fast, yet
she was powerless to release herself from
her prison. She remainedl in the closet
about four hours, and when her husband
returned home at Supper time, he missed
his wife, but thought nothing about it.
Having occasion to look into the closet, be
discovered his wife lying inbensble on the
floor. He quickly drew her llnanimate
form out, woen the air revived her, and
