FAMOUS RAIDS OF THE WAR. Tbe flret raid of note wa* Stuart'» ride around MeOeUan** army on tbe Pwinenta, June 1S-15, IMl In October, 1808, while the Army st the Pot/mac waa on tbe appear Potomac Stuart with 1,«J0 caralry and a hone batteiry croeaed tho river above the army and penetrated into Petinifylvauiaa*£ara»Getty»burg, recroMing the Potomac between tbe army and Washington. But little damage wa* done. During the ChancseUortvllle cam* paign Gfti, llooiua* »nt hla cavalry atnder Buwetuan to cut the Confederate lir„« betw*m Lee1* armyaml Richmond. Stoneman had 3,500 men, and paamd around tbe army, destroying several mike of tbe railroad*, cuttiug the Jamca Hirer canal and burning nnmerou* brii«« on the principal streams. Ono of the most exciting expeditions of the war wa* the joint raids of Forrest and Van Dorn against Orant's communication* in northern MiMu*»ippi and western Tenneecee in the fall of 1833.
During the battle of Stone River, Train,, December, 1393, Gen. Joseph Wheeler, made an Important raid on the Union communication* in rear nt Itueecrans'* army. Wheeler had 8,000 imm and d«itroye«I property amounting to a million dollars. The moat daring raid of the west was Morgan's expedition into Indiana and Ohio. Morgan led a Confederate uvtilry brigade ami became celebrated by ma iy Mimil affairs near tbe some of army operations. During Bragg invasion of Kentucky he had ridden to the suburbs of Cincinnati. On July 'J he started with about 2,800 cavalry and four guns, and crossed the CumU'flaml at Bjr km villa Hoswept through •outhettt Indiana and acro«i Ohio, to ita northeastern border, where ho was captured July

On the nth he encountered Stuart, and tliat noted leader fell in action, Sheridan rneclml tho fortifications at Richmond and withdraw down tbe Jeunm. On the 7th of June, whik Orant's army was in front of Richmond, Slterhlan started with his whole force on a rakl against tho railroads from Richmond to Oordonsville and Lynchburg, lie met the Confwkrate cavalry, muter Oen.

Bat \re don't fttop for that No one doe*. We walk In, and find a sundry and usually pretty civil aaaortment of statesmen sitting round the tables, ea^
A TEMPK&AKCK STATESMAN AT LC5CH. Ing and drinking. There is quite as much drinking as eating, for bottles of beer and wine are everywhere to be ueex Of course there are temperance me&in congress, temperance men who are teetotalers here as well as at home but there are others who pose as prohibitionits in the districts which they represent, and in Washington drink like fishes. One of the first things that attracts our attention as we enter is a little scene in the far room, devoted to the use of ladies. There sits a well known prohibition statesman sipping wine with a feminine friend. The pair are evidently out for a good time, for the sparkle of the wine is already to be seen in their eyes, and there is a bottle in the cooler which has not yet been opened.
Congressmen complain that the air in the hall of the house is dry and arid that there is something in it which causes thirst. However this may be, the fact remains that a surprising number of them have their bottles of beer before them. A few drink wine, but only a few. The average congressman does not drink wine when he has to buy it him sell. Tho average congressman counts the cost of things, because ho has to. Living is at best an expensive tiling in Washington. I know newspaper men who have incomes exceeding a congressman's salary, and they can't save a cent How tho congressman who has no income bnt hia salary—and that is all the majority have—manage to make both ends meet after paying election expenses and entertaining their constituents, is more than I can understand.
There is a law, or, what is tho same thing, a joint resolution of Congress, forbidding the sale of liquor in the Capitol. Gut, goodness knovca, that law is a dead letter. One may have served him as much beer, wine and whisky in either the house or senate restaurant as he cares to drink or pay for. Nor does he

The waiter brings him a cute little caraffe containing good sized drink, and the customer poms it out and gulps it down. Every one knows it is whidcy—-there is no dt»gaise about it—though nobody pays any attention. Though there is plenty of liquor and plenty of drinking in the Capitol, it most be said for the state* men that they drink in moderation. During this whole winter I have seen but one member of congress on tbe floor In a state of intoxication, and this one gets drtmk about three times a week with painful regularity, la the senate there are two statesmen who habitually drink more tiqoor than is good for than, bnt twow OBUgms It a pretty sober antyti

em "bcigadienr and ex-generals of the FVrferal army. likely as not MeKmley, tho apostle of the protective tariff, win be seen sharing a bottie of afe irith Eogar Q. Mi% One armed Gates, of Alabama, chief of the anti-election law forces, is hobnobbing with Mr. Lodge, chaxnpkra tbe proposed iegiidatirw, Speaker Reed is at table, and hi merry converse with two or three of the Democrats who but lately were denouncing him as a despot and usurper. The lunch rooms of the Capitol not only satisfy the cravings of nature, bat soften many of the asperities of public life, cement friendships, avert enmities. Over therein the comer, blending ice cream and strawberries with their conversation, are two men who were up stairs twenty minutes ago,metaphorically and rhetorically tearing each other to pieces. "Do yon think they will fight a duel?" asked a stranger in the house gallery the other day, when Congressmen Rogers and Kelley were savagely attacking each other in debate. "No," replied a veteran observer, "they will probably go down stairs and split a small bottle."
The average congressman hutches modestly. OyBters on the shell or roasted are prime favorites. Bread and milk is another popular dish. Four famous bread and milk eaters are rising Jim Morse, of Massachusetts Cogswell, of the same state Barnes, the Georgia heavy weight Farmer Ftmston, of Kansas. Half-and-half, a mixture of cream and milk, is often called for, and occasionally a dish of pure' cream but the proprietor of the restaurant points out to us the interesting fact that it is always tbe city and never the rural member who wants cream.
The man from the farm has been educated in a school of domestic economy which teaches that eating cream is wastefulness, since cream makes butter, and butter can be sold, and milk vill take the place of cream, why not eat milk? Therefore milk it is for the farm boy or farm man—milk in his coffee, milk on his fruit, milk with his oatmeal or rice. An old philosopher of my acquaintance says if this drinking of milk in the country and consumption of cream in the cities goes on for a hundred or two hundred years the people of the cities

will become so superior to those of tho country in brawn and brain that the latter will be in danger of foiling into serfdom. This is an extreme view.
Pie is also a prime favorite with hungry statesmen. It is more than a luxury —it is a staple. If tho supply of pie in the Capitol restaurants were to be suddenly cut off, I fancy the shock to congressional nerves would throw the wheels of legislation out of gear. To see pie eating in its highest state of development one does not need to go down stairs to the dining room. In certain little alcoves and shadowy nooks of the main corridor of the old Capitol—nooks whc*te echoes are of the days of Webster, Clay, Calhoun and John Quincy Adams—is the art of pie biting practiced to perfection. Here come great statesmen to eat pie and doughnuts and drink milk, all served by a solemn old woman who has been in the very spot and self same pie business for a quarter of a century. At this rude counter one may see snch men as Speaker Reed, Judge Pay won, Cabot Lodge, R. R. Hitt, RosweU P. Flower, Julius Caesar Burrows, McKinley, Judge Reed of Iowa, "Billy" Mason, Frank Lawler, exSpeaker Carlisle. W, D. Bynum, Ben Butterworth and Tom Bayne standing side by aide and devouring pie and milk with railroad station eating celerity and uncon ventionali ty.
There are some secrets about the manner in which statesmen eat For instance, in the house of representatives we a half dozen or more men who are never seen in the restaurant nor at the old woman's pie counter. If yon want to know how these men lunch yon most go down into their committee rooms, where, in a secluded corner, they may be found opening a snog little basket put op at home by the hands of tlnir good wives. These aw men who find it almost impossible to live on their congressional salaries, and who are forced to economise in any way they can.

During the breeding season of the drum this noise is more pronounced than at any other time, the males calling to the females, who respond in lower tones and at night, while feeding on the oyster and mussel beds, which provide their principal food, the fish seem to grant their satisfaction with the repast—Cor.

Variegated Color* In Bottle*.
Take equal volumes of chloroform, glycerine, a mixture of one volume stronger ether and three volumes carbon disulphide, water, cotton seed oil and alcohol. Shake the cloroform with a little water, then separate the excess. To the chloroform thus saturated with" water add a little Bengal red, shake well a few minutes, and filter. In the ether and carbon disulphide dissolve a little iodine. In tho alcohol dissolve a little Bengal green or chlorophyl from fresh green leaves.
Now pour these various colored fluids into a clear flint glass bottle or other similar container just large enough to hold them all, beginning with the chloroform and following with each in succession down to tbe alcohoL They should all be added carefully down the side of the container and without agitation, and, lastly, enough more alcohol should be added to completely fill the container after the insertion of the cork. This will give a bottle with six separate layers of colored fluids, and presents a very pretty sight—Tho New Idea.
About Ventilation.
It seems like heresy to talk to the enlightened people of this age of ventilation and hygiene in their relation to sleep, but still it isn't so very long since an entire family who were ill recovered because some one was careless enough to break a window pane out and every one was too il* to replace it Not go very long, either, since a physician hung a canary's cage beneath the canopy of one of our handsomely curtained beds where two people were sleeping, and took its lifeless little body from the cage the next morning. A word to tbe wise is sufficient, and every one knows that a closed window, heavy carpets, stuffy curtains, fluids, vegetable life and food of any kind in any sleeping apartments are not conducive to healthful, refreshing sleep.—Toronto Empire.

Ftshea That lOafce a Notae. The black drum is one of our largest game fishes, most abundant in the southern states, but occurring along the Jersey ooast, and often found in the waters of Staten Island.
Tbe dram belongs to the family of the Sdoenid®, which, owing to the peculiar structure of the air bladder, possess the power of uttering soundB to a greater or letss degree. Other members of the family, such as the weakfish, croaker and roncador, make a grunting sound when boated (although old fishermen claim to be able to detect the presence of a large school of weakfish by the noise made by them while feeding as tho boat pass over them) bnt the sound of the drum is the loudest and can be very distinctly heard at a distance. The croak of the ubiquitous sea robin, which does not, however, belong to this family, is familiar to all who have ever wet a line in the bay.
