AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL. [Concluded from First Pape.] desk. It was very beautiful and was composed of rose3, violets and ferns. Mr. Hoblitzell was at first very proud of his gift,. “This must be from my admiring constituents in Baltimore,* he said. Mr. Cox, however, spoiled the illusion for him. Upon giving the harp a close inspection, he saw a small card hidden away ’neath the flowers, and pulled it out “Hello, what’s this?” “Hoblitzell,” from “Violet” “Who’s ‘Violet?’ ” “Oh, yes; who’s Violet?” chimed in a half-dozen members. Mr. Hoblitzell turned very red in the face, and protested that he did not know. The word was passed around, however, and all the afternoon members kept sending pages to the Maryland congressman inquiring who Violet was. In a fit of congressional rage Mr. Hoblitzell threw the harp at the head of a page who insisted upon an answer. The page picked it up and carried it to the cloak-room, DR. MARY WALKER Ingenious Plan Adopted by House Employes in De;iling with Her. Washington Special. When the House isn’t in session ladies at the Capitol like to wander in and try the members’ arm-chairs. They sit down, wheel on the pivots, and get up. They -look toward the Speaker’s desk, aud then let their vision sweep round the great amphitheater as if imagining how it must feel to be a congressman and make a speech. There were several well-dressed women engaged in this pastime, when Dr. Mary Walker, silk hat, frock coat, boots, etc., stepped in from the lobby, walked jauntily to a desk, and, putting down her tile, commenced to draw off her kid-gloves. What her errand was will never be known, for an attache of the House stepped up to one of the visitors, and, with a jerk of the head and the elbow, said in an undertone, “There’s Dr. Mary Walker.” “Where, where?” was eagerly ejaculated, and within thirty seconds every woman in petticoats had her eyes focused on the woman in trousers. That wasn’t the w : orst The door-keeper’s staff never like to meddle with Dr. Mary. On one occasion, so they say, she became somewhat demonstrative in the gallery, and when a deputy door-keeper went up To quiet her she drew a knife on him. Seemingly the staff urdoistand better now how to deal with her. These visiting women hadn’t looked long before they felt that curiosity required a nearer inspection. They began to close in on the curious object, walking slowly toward her as if fascinated, but with mingled looks of amusement and contempt. The Doctor stood it until they were within ten feet of her, aud still staring. Then she grabbed up her hat. and drawing out a large cambric handkerchief, held it to her nose with an expression of disgust and started for the door. The other women actually followed her until she passed out, made two or three tours of the halls and shook them off, while the wicked attaches of the House winked at each other and congratulated themselves on the working of the new plan of getting rid of Dr. Mary. It takes a woman to deal with her sex.

MINOR MENTION. Mr. Stockslager Hopes to Secure Appropriations for Public Buildings. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. B.—Representative Stockslager said to the Journal correspondent to-night that in all probability he would succeed in having the House go into committee of the whole again on Saturday for consideration of hills for public buildings. He thought all measures on that subject could be considered in one day. The action of Mr. Randall, in filibustering, this afternoon, to defeat consideration of those bills Mr. Stockslager considered unfair, and he added that the charge that there is a combination on public buildings is untrue; that, since these bills, are not grouped, and one is in no way dependent upon the fate of another, there could be nothing like a combination, such as is made on the river and harbor bill, where everything is put together.

Washington, Jan. 8. —In a conversation with Senator Harrison, on Tuesday, the Journal correspondent understood him to say that he was in favor of what is known as the Reagan interstate commerce bill, and so telegraphed the Journal. In talking with the Senator to-day, I find that what he said was that the bill he, in some respects, preferred to that of the Senate was the House committee bilfc He will, however, support the Senate bill with some modifications.

The dressing* table, which may be onlv a common pine tablo or low stand with shelves and a wooden upright nailed to the back to support the looking glass, is covered with sateen or paper muslin of any desired color, over which a white muslin covering is arranged with cascades of frills or is simply gathered full. Drapery of the same falls from the top of the mirror. The long box sos holding the dresses not in use has a thickly cushrioned top with a round bolster at one end covered with some of the beautiful cretonne to b# found at the dry good or upholstery stores; two large square cretonne-covered pillows with full frills complete the lounge. The “occasional* tables are covered with cretonne. Chairs, th* seats of which have not withstood the ravages of time, may be reseated by covering them with double stripe of ticking or stout crash plaited and tacked firmly to the edges of the seat. Finish with a cretonne-covered cushion with a full flounce reaching half way to the floor; or, if preferred, cover the entire chair with the cretonne. Take care to fasten the cushion securely in place, else it is suro to fall to the ground, revealing the skeleton which it was meant to hid* from the gaze of the uninitiated. If you are not the fortunate possessor of a table, take thre* broomsticks and cut them of equal longth, stain them and cross them at the middle, securing them with a screw. Take the cover of a largo butter-firkin, or a square box cover, and screw it to the broom3tieks for the top; cover smoothly with burlaps or any thick material at hand, and then put the cretonne over it Old pine table* of small size may be utilized, covering the legs as well as the top with the cretonne.
