Wasbuotex, Ner. 14. Cengresemui Itathanlel P. Bank, of Massachusetts, active sad genial notwithstanding his seventy-three yean, was seated In the anteroom of the office of the secretary of ta Interior awaiting an audience with Mr. Neble. Near by was McKin ley, of Ohie. TJue pair represented gen erations widely separated. Beside the veteran Banks, who had been speaker, as MeKinlcy aspires te be, the latter looked like a boy. On the wall ever the desk of the private secretary hung a chart pnbUsaed talrtesi years 'age, and called "The Centennial Government" In this chart Mr. Banks evinced mera than ordinary interest He looked it ever and ever, rising first en tiptee and then mounting a chair in his eagerness te scan all the names. It seemed te im press itself upon him as an old friend. "Ah, McKinley," exclaimed the vet eran statesman, "what a kaleidoscope of, men, of human ambitions, of success nnd of disappointment this is. Here are "the names of my friends of thirteen years age. I believe that no mere than 25 of the 870 senators and representatives of the centennial year are still in con gress." i Se the veteran Banks and the younger McKinley sat down te compare notes. Benks knew the old congress and Mc Kineoy the new one. "Let us begin with Malno," they said. They found that of the seven members of congress from that state in the cen tennial year but two remain. Uale and Frye, who were then representatives, new sit as senators in place of Ilannibal Hamlin and JameB O. Blaine, "two men who have made history, and are still making it," as Mr. Banks said. Of New Hampshire's five centennial statesmen but one remains. Probably the country at large has forgotten Senators Cragln nnd "Wadleigh. Henry YV. Blair, then in the house, Is new in the senate, and somewhat famous as the author of the Blair educational bilL "Little Vermont is pretty constant," said Mr. Benks; "alie is the only state in the Union which has here new the same senators who represented her in the cen tennial year. May my old friends Ed munds and Merrill be here thirteen, years hence. "That reminds me," added the cx speakcr, "that in talking about Massa chusetts' representatives you should net forget me. I have the honor, sir, te be the member of the Fifty-first congress with earliest experience in national legis lation. I was a member of the Thirty third congress, which makes it just thirty-six years eince I came down here a green, fresh statesman. Judge Kelley, the father of the house, did net come till the Thirty-seventh congress, or eight years later. Senater Merrill, of Vermont, first came te congress two years after I did, and Senater Dawes, of Massachu setts, four years after. But their service has been continuous, while mine has net. Only three Massachusetts members of the centennial congress are new hero here Mr. Dawes, Mr. Hear, who was then a representative, and myself." Iihode Island has no survivors of the period of thirteen years. Beth of her centennial senators, Henry B. Antheny and Gen. Burnslde, are dead. Connecti cut fares no better. 'Her senators were William W. Eaten nnd William H. Bar num, the famous Democratic leader, who died a fuw months age. Tiine has worked magle changes in New Yerk. Thirteen years nge Itosceo Conkling and Francis Kernan repre sented the empire state in the senate. Beth are dead. Fernande Weed, the next most conspicuous member of the delegation, is also dead. Samuel Sulli van Cox passed away but a few weeks age. Strange that in thirteen years all of the thirty-five statesmen from that state should disappear from the congres sional roster. Net ene remains. A. S. Hewitt still lives, but in private life. William A. Wheeler, then a congress man, rose te the vice presidency and disappeared. Themas C. Piatt was then the congressman from Tiega. Subse quently he entered the senate, resigned with Conkling, failed of re-election, dis appeared from publie view, and later en bobs up serenely a power in his party. EIbridgeVJ3,Lanliam, then'a representa tive, succeeded the great Conkling in the senate, served his term and disappeared while Conkling was yet living and fa mous. Net one Jerseyman survived the period that was composed of years te the un lucky number of thirteen. Of the nlue men in the New Jersey delegation of the centennial year, but one, Frederick T. Frelinghuysen, subsequently rese te higher distinction. Pennsylvania, conservative and rock ribbed, tenacious of her political views and favorites, presents a greater number of survivors from the centennial era than any ether commonwealth. Though Simen Cameren, the Nester, has disap peared forever, Samuel J. Randall, Will iam D. Keiley and Charles O'Neill re main. A remarkable instance, this, of long continued service of a great municipali ty. Kclley, Randall and O'Neill have together represented the city of Phila delphia in congress for a quarter of a century. Congressmen Mutchler nnd Maish are the ether survivors in the Pennsylvania delegation. Even little Delaware, in which the citi zens had ceme te leek upon the Bayards and the Saulsburys as life senators, has felt the influences of this period of change. Thirteen years age Themas Francis Bayard, the third of his family te occupy a seat in the senate, was ene of the most active statesmen of the day. New, after serving eight rears mere as senator end four as secretary of state, he is renewing his youth as a private citizen nnd bridegroom. The Saulsburys, tee, huve retired te prlvate life. Maryland had no representatives in 70 with enough vitality te span the thir teen year period, nor had Virginia. West Virginia Bhews but ene sun iver, C. J. Faulkner, then In the house, new la the senate. Henry E. Davis, who is building up a family wealth te rival that of the Vanderbilts, represented West Virginia in the senate thirteen yearsage, as one of his eons-in-law will lx likely te represent it thirteen years hence. The two Carolinas possess but ene member of congress whose servlce spans the centennial and the present year. Sen Sen aeor Ransom, of North Carolina, is thu veteran. Of Georgia's great delegation of '70, but a slngle sun Iver (Congress man Blount) remains. Alexander II. Stephens and Benjamin II. Hill are dead. Gen. Jehn I). Gorden is n private citizen. Senater Norwood of 70 became Con Cen Con gressmatJJerwopd of 'SO, and Is new out of publie life. Flerida has nt survivor. Her best known senator of the centennial year, Charles W. Jenes, is new a peer outcast, half demented. Only William Henry Fernor. of the Alabama delegation te the present 'ceBgtwt, was la the con gress of the centennial year. Geerge K. Speaeer, bow a clerk la one of the gov gev ernmeai departments la vTashingtea, was a acnater from Alabama In ". Mississippi has but one survivor, tha gallant Uen. Hoeker. Lucius J. C. La mar, a congressman in TO, k new ea tha supreme bench s Blanche K. Bruce, a sen sen ater, Js a lawyer in Washington, and Jehn R. Lynch, who waa born a slave and became a lawmaker tn the centen nial year, is new an official of the United States treasury. Senater Gibsen, of ''Louisiana, was in the house from that state thirteen years, age, but none of his easly colleagues remain la the Capitel with, him. . In 1878 Texas was represented In the senate by one Republican and one Dem ocrat Hamilton and Maxey. Beth hats, disappeared. Jehn H. Reagan was then a representative. Heis new a senator. Reger Q. Mills, chairman of the ways and means committee of the house, has been In congress since 1873, and David' B. Culberson;' the best constitutional lawyer in the south, since 1874. Arkan sas' senators and representatives of '76, among whom were Powell Clayten and 8tcphcn W. Dersey, are known no mere In the halls of legislation. Senater Ceckrcll and Congressman Bland, the fathoref the silver dollar, are Missouri's only survivors. Congress man Whittherne is alene among the rep resentatives of Tennessee who was there thirteen years age, as Jeseph O. Black burn, then congressman, new senator, is the only survivor in Kentucky. Time's record in Ohie is like a ro mance. But two of the members of the delegation of the centennial year ere still in publie life Jehn Sherman, then, as new, a senator,, and Henry B. Payne,, thclPa" member of' the house and new in the senate. Allen G. Thurman.thcn Mr, Sherman's celleague, has live'd 'te be be bo cemo the patriarch of his party. Will lam Lawrence wen national fame as the watchdog of the treasury. Frank Hurd became a noted orator, and was then pressed back and beaten in the race for place. Charles Fester, afterward gover nor, has twice or thrice had the sena torial cup dashed from his lips. James A. Garfield, a congressman thirteen years age, then senator, president, martyr. What changes in a titue se short I Veteran Banks leeks in vain for the face of Senater Oliver P. Morten. It seems a long time slnce O. P. Morten was a Republican leader, and yet here Is Jeseph McDonald, "Old Saddlebags," an elder man than Morten, and Mei ten's Democrat ie colleague in 1870, looking forward te the possibility of a presiden tial nomination in 1803, after spending a decade in private life Queer tricks time plays in this merry-go-round of politics! Indiana's only survivor of the centennial congressional delegation is William S. Helman, the objector. In 1870 an Indl Indl anien, new pretty well known through out the country, Benjamin Harrison, had held no important public office. Michigan's present senators and con gressmen have nil come te the front in the last ten years. The leader of Illinois' centennial delegation was Jehn A. Legan, then in his prlme. With him in the sen ate was Richard Oglesby, then an old man. Only the latter still lives, but in retirement. Cannen, Hendersen and Springer arc the three congressmen from Illinois who have remained stcndily nt their pests. Scott will new make his reappearance after several years of re tirement. Morrison, Stevenson and Sparks wcre famous members of Illinois' delegation in 1870. Only Morrison is in the government service Hew time mews them down! Wisconsin's congressmen are all of re cent growth. The only member of her centennial representation who has sur vived the slings nnd arrows of remorso remerso remorse iesstlmeis Jeremiah M. Rusk, then the member from Buffalo. In 1870 William Windem was in the senate from Minnesota. After leaving congress he served as secretary of the treasury, and then retired te private life, as he supposed, forever. He Is again secretary of the treasury, made such without en effort en his part, while half n dozen men wcre running their legs off for the honor. Time brings luck as well as adversity. Only Senater Allisen remains of Iowa's centennial statesmen, only Ingalls of Kansas' deputation, nnd only Teller of Colerado's first representation. Jenes of Nevada and Mitchell of Oregon are the only survivors of the Pacific coast. "Se you see, McKinley," said Mr. Banks, en counting up the result of his careful examination of the centennial chart, "my guess was net far wrong. Less than forty of the 375 senators and representatives whose names appear en this chart are in congress today. In a dozen years death and the fierceness of the struggle for political honors have swept away nine men out of ten. Mc Kinley, where shall you nnd I be a dozen years hence?' Walter Wkluian.

In their way, are quite ns useful nnd Ingenious ns seme of theso that have come from her stronger armed brother, an examination of the records of the patent office will set the question at rest. These, however, de net tell the hole btery. for, with the confiding nature of her sex, she has given te husband, or friend, or speculator, hints and forms of devices that have subsequently liecome of large mercantile value and "been adopted as ths creations of third parties. Few people in looking at the handsome desks with rolling tops and massive doers, that when opened present te the eye great nests of pigeon holes, suspect that an idea se novel emanated from the brain of a lady highly cultivated In all the graces of a home. Yet It Is even se. Several years age a Mrs. Tracy, then of Seuth Carolina nnd u relative of the fa mous Rhett family of that state, con ceived the plan of building such a cover upon and attaching the deep, swinging doers te her sewing machine, and what is still rnore remarkable, she made the drawiugsand acted as her own mechanic. The device, Intended solely for her own convenience, being seen by practical men, was at ence adopted, improvements wcre added, patents were taken out, and in a few months the result of her in genuity was in the market coining money for a let of people in whom she had no earthly interebt and from whom she has derived little or no profit. Sitting at that same sewing machine ene day the thought occurred te her that instead of withdrawing the thread from the needle with a pair of scissors, as was usually done, it would be easier te em ploy a curved surface for the purpose. She accordingly took her button hook, Miarpened its concave edge, and, presto! her object was accomplished. Tills use suggesting another, she applied the outer or convex side of the hook te a grindstone, and In a few moments had converted it into n tool that at once be be bo came a picker and riper of stitches, an ink eraser nnd envelope opener. The wire handle was then udreltlv twisted Inte a chape that served te make it twe ful for fastening gloves, nnd, for aught the writer knows, milling tacks or teeth. The little trick served Its' purpose admir ably, and many thousands were sold, bat net for the benefit of the Ingcnteui woman, for slip did net m?e the color of a fifty dollar bill te compensate her fet the Idea, t Soen after her arrlval,ni New Yerk, a large flre occurred in n factory, from th .upper stories of which It was Impossi Impessi Impossi bie for a number of the inmates te es cape. Tills incident directed Mrs Tracy's attention te the desirability el a contrlvance that, being attached te tin wall inside of a window en the different stories of a house, could be easily swung into the window opening, nnd then, bc i Ing loosened, fall te the ground in the shape of a flcxible cylinder with a wire ladder attachment down which the im prisoned people might easily sllde ni through a shute without danger of bodi ly harm from cither flre or bruises. Meanwhile, the firemen might be using the Are ladder for carrying up and sup porting their hose. This machine nt the time attracted a great deal of attention from seme of the authorities, and n num ber of successful experiments wcre made from the reefs of tall buildings, but as in the ether cases mentioned, the idea fell short of perfect consummation ow ing te the indisposition of theso who proposed te 'supply the working capital te de mero than pay the inventor a small royalty. Unfortunately, 6he was a wo man. ' A Mrs. Tracy's Ingenuity also found em ployment about this time in the con struction of an clevatpr for hotels nnd ether publie buildings, the salient feat- It Ores of which were, Wst the Impossi Impessi L billty of its dropptngiuero thnp two ei mree mcucs in i lie cvent-w-uie erenuuig of cables or the displacement of the usual safety cogs, and, secondly, its au tomatic work In dropping or taking up a section of the fleer as it moved from story te story In its ascent nnd descent Tl.e object was twofold, namely, te pro pre vent careless people from falling when the elevator doers were left unlocked, and te shut eir the inevitable draft thai of Itself carries fire from basement tc reef through the big open fine.

The stop page of motion was cnusdl by that do de vice familiar te the simplest mechanics known us "the denl's grip," nnd in its simplest form is every day Illustrated In the tongs of the icemen. In ether words, the greater weight it held the tighter it gripped. One of these was placed at each upper corner of the elevator nnd se connected with a wire cable that no matter where a break occurred, it was bound te assert its force and held the huge object in place. The portable floors referred te were of light hut strong steel that dropped Inte place en going up or coming down, und in their substantial use practically made the deer of an ele vator unnecessary.

Tite Hemes of Interest. ITete is a cut of the Clymcr mansion at Washington, where the leccnt mar mar riage of ex-secretary IJaynrd te Miss CIA'MER MANSION. Clymcr was celebrated. This mansion figured prominently In a similar social event during the Polk administration, et which a social chronicler wrote in May, 1815: "Anether marriage at this time was that of Dr. Clymcr, of the navy, te the daughter of the gallant Commedore Shubrick. It took place at the residence of the commodore, near the president's. Fenlmore Cooper and his two daughters were present. The novelist had dedi cated several of his works te Capt. Shu brick, en account of a long existing friendship. Hen. Jeseph R. Ingersoll officiated as the friend of the bride groom." Mr. Bayard's bride was the first issue of that marriage. The newly married couple, as is well known, will rcside at the Bayard hemebtead nt Wilmington, Del.

WfrSatslni has any accounts te.kecp, Jeeeps them with an exactness whlclr is, e ought te lie, an example te the rest of the world. The questions which anEngllsh cook In search, of n place asks about dripping, broken bits, cold victuals and the like, are apt td be Hcbrew te the American; Indeed, English servants have coma te understand this, and demand perquisites and Drivileees from American mistress es which they would never think of ask fM A aa ttaKllAl. Aha fat A B. - - ... I ing of an English ene. If you have been well coached by your English friends, and stand up for ye'ur rights, your ser vants will have much.'fTeatcr respect for you than If you gire into them. If you are wise, however, you will net en gage an English cook. Geed cooking is netan English talent, though the Briten is firmly persuaded that of all nations of the earth his own is tbe only one which understands the first principles of gastronomy. Te a French or American palate all English dishes, excepting curry, which, by the wayt is an importation from India, are nearly tasteless, and it Issafe t6 add salt . ie nrly.fllsh of meaTer vegetables served i you at an English table. The best fcs taurants In Londen, from a foreign stand point, are the Italian; indeed, it was a great day for the English when thb Ital ians, -who In the first place taught the French te cook, came ever te open eat ing houses in Londen. There are several such, if you knew where te find them, where you can get a geed dinner nla carte at an even lower price than you would pay in America; where, tee, the service is geed nnd the napcry clean. If you de get nn English cook, try te have a "blue ribbon," net a cordon bleu that is, but a member of the tempcrance band, who will drink nothing stronger than ten or ginger nle. The first caution given you en arriving in Londen is te drink anything rather than water; and the people, in this respect, carefully practlce what they preach. Every serv ant, man or maid, exacts an allowance of beer, or its equivalent in money, and drunkenness is the national vice. The fundamental point te be ascertained in the character of your cook is, is she sober? Else, some day, when you have a dinner party en hand, she will absorb the wlne intended for tiie sauces, and be found dead drunk en the kitchen fleer w hile your guests wait in vain for their dinner. It is rather comforting te find that after all English servants are geed and bad, just like ours. If, however, you get a geed one, you have a treasure; a well trained English servant is n bit of perfection. Geed or bad, whatever their virtues or fallings, they knew their place, and their respect for you Is in exact rntie as you keep them in it. Ne Eng lish mistress ever permits a servant te sit down in her presence under any cir cumstances, and if you carofer the geed opinion of your lodging house keeper you will never condescend te offer her a chair. The chief way in which English ser vants rob their employers is in the tells which they exact from tradesmen. In great houses where the upper sqevanta mAer the various - rr""lf T mf. or are supposed te nave, control or the patrenage of the household, and In order te keep the custom and gain their geed will, each tradesman gives his especial patron a rebate en the amount of his bill. Thus the butcher fees the cook, the grocer stands in with the steward, the denier in hay and corn makes n present te the coachman, and se en through the whole establishment. Naturally, the tax se paid Is added te the original amount of the bill, and thus in the end comes out of the master's pocket. Ouida's Bketch of the American born duchess, who, by ordering all supplies in person nnd auditing all accounts, saved her noble lord from penury and recouped his bank account, is scarcely se much of an exaggeration as it seems, and has been paralleled in seme degrce by mere than ene prudent woman in late years. Wages are considerably smaller with us. Ten shillings a week Is the price of a plain cook (a French man cook will charge 2), from $50 te $70 a year that of n geed housemaid, and for twenty shillings you may command the services of an accomplished valet, One of the best waiters in a Regent street restau rant told me that he received no wages, and was required te pay for his meals; lodging being furnished him, he was ex pected te find his compensation In the tips of his customers; and in Londen, except from an American, fourpence la fully an average tip. People change servants much less often than with us, for there is nothing which a geed servant se dreads as n "short character," anything under a year being considered as prima facle evidence against the person who has been unable te keep a place longer. The servants in a household are a pretty geed index te the social status of the household, and for this reason society climbers, who abound in England, as elsewhere, spare no pains te secure servants who have lived with great people, and arecharmed with the reversal of a ladies' maid from the Countess of Cemcupstalrs, or a foot man who can tell hew things are man aged in the ducal mansion of Pinnacles. The number of servants and retainers employed in great families Is something te marvel nt a reminiscence, of the feudal period. We wcre talking of the four rich dukes, and somebody mentioned the exact amount of the Income of the Duke of Wei-tinlnster. "My!" exclaimed an un sophisticated American, "what en earth does he de with It?" The answer came from a family connection of the duke and was made with crushing dignity: "If you had three hundred gardeners te pay every month, I fancv you wouldn't find it any mero than you needed I" "Three hundred gardeners!" ejacu lated the American, and then subsided into silence. There is nothing in Londen nnswerlng te the American Ijeardlng house. If you dislike hotels and de net care te take a whole heuse nnd go regularly te house keeping, you go Inte lodgings by the week. The drawing room fleer, up ene flight of stairs, is regarded eh the best in the house. The rent varies with the lo cation and the time of year, rents during the season from the first of Hay te tha mlddle of July being, In fashionable neighborhoods, three times as much, and In ethers tw ice us much, as during the rest of the j ear.

"I am net greedy new," responded Mabel with dig nity; "I don't take things teect, but 1 thought I might have just ene bllce el this beautiful bread nod butter te take home ns a pattern for nurse."

The tea is scalding het, se het that you are npt te wonder whether It is net taken from the flre at the very Instant that the doorbell rings. It b delicleusly fragrant, such tea as we nevcr have in America. The English have a theory that a long sea voynge destroys the flavor of tea, no matter hew carefully it may be packed for transportation. When you praise their tea they say: "Yeu should taste the tea in Russia." Following out this theory, the choicest teas are brought overland through Russia from Clilnu, and only cress the English channel en a fast steamer. They say, also, that Amer icans have no idea hew te make tea. "I am going te Mrs. 's, nnd I shall have te drink her tea,"saldnn Englishwoman, plaintively.
