Holler to Him to Tie His Dog.

He lives in the “Western District.” Yesterday he called at the House to see Gen. Vance. He modestly communicated his -wishes to the Doorkeeper. “Have you a card, sir?” he gruffly growled. “Cards,” he said, thoughtfully, mechanically running his hand in the rear pockets of his coat. “No, sir, I don’t carry ’em.” “Where are you from?” inquired the d. k. “North Carolina was the prompt answer. “ Well, how do they do in North Carolina when people go a-visiting ?” “Why, they ride up to a fellow’s fence and heller to him to tie his dog, and they gets down and goes in,” was the laconic reply. The Doorkeeper immediately dispatched a page to Mr. Vance. He found that his supposed verdant constituent had got the best of a House Doorkeeper.— Washington Cor. Raleigh {N. C.) Observer.
