know how to get here, so I brought him
"Lord, Mis Beatrice, and now do you
know it's him?" said Mrs. Thomas. "How
do von know it ain't a housebreaker?"
"Oh, I'm sure he can't be," answered
Beatrice aside, "because he isn't clever
enough."
Then followed alone discussion. Mrs.
Thomas stoutly refused to admit the strang
er without evidence of identity.and Beatrice,
embracing his cause, as stoutly pressed his
claims. As for the law'ul owner, he made
occasional feeble attempts to prove that he
was himself, bnt Mrs. Thomas was not to be
imposed upon in this way. At last they came
to a deadlock.
"Y'd better go back to the inn. sir," said
Mrs, Thomas with scathing sarcasm, "and
come up to-morrow with proofs and your
luggage."
"Haven't you got any letters with you?"
suggested Beatrice as a last resource.
As it happened he had a letter, one from
the law er to himself about the property,
and mentioning Mrs. Thomas' name as
being in charge of the csstle. He had for
gotten all about it, bnt at this interesting
juncture it was produced and read alond by
Beatrice. Mrs. Thomas took it, and having
examined it carefully through her horn
rimmed spectacles, was constrained to admit
its authenticity.
"I'm sure I apologize, sir." she said with
a half-doubtful courtesy and much tact,
"but one can't be too careful with all these
tramps about; 1 never should have thought
from the look of you, sir, how as you was the
new Squire."
This might be candid, but it was not flat
tering, and it caused Beatrice to snigger
behind her handkerchiet in true school-girl
fashion. However, they entered, and were
led bv Mrs. Thomas with solemn pomp
through the great and little halls, the stone
parlor and the oak parlor, the library and
the huge drawing room, in which the white

heads of marble statues protruded from the
bags of brown hollan-t wherewith they were
wrapped about in a manner ghastly to be
hold. At length thev reached a small octagon-shaped
room that, facing south, com
manded a most glorious view of sea and
land. It was called the Lady's Boudoir,
and joined another of about the same size,
which, in its former owner's time had been
used as a smoking room.
"If you don't mind, madam," said the
lord of all this magnificence, "I should
like to stop here, I am getting tired of walk
ing." And there he stopped for many
years. The rest of the castle was shut up;
he scarcely ever visited it except occasion
ally1 to see that the rooms were properly
aired, for he was a methodical man.
As for Beatrice, she went home, still
chuckling, to receive a severe reproof from
Elizabeth tor her "forwardness." Bat
Owen Davies never forgot the debt of grati
tude he owed her. In his heart he felt con
vinced that hod it not been for her, he
should have fled before Mrs. Thomas and
her horn-rimmed eye-glasses, to retnrn no
more. The truth of the matter was, how
ever, that voung as Beatrice was, he lell in
love with her then and there, only
to fall deeper and deeper into that
drear abyss as vcars went on. He
never said anything about it, he
never even cave a hint of his hopeless con
dition, though, of course, Beatrice divined
something ol it as soon as she came to years
of discretion. But there grew up in Owen's
silent, lonely breast a great and overmaster- ,
ing desire to make this gray-eyed girl his
wife. He measured time by the intervals
that elapsed between his visions of her. No
period in his liie was so wretched and utter
ly purposeless as those two years which
passed while she was at her training college.
He was a very passive Jover, as yet his
gathering passion did not urge him to ex
tremes, and he could never make up his
mind to declare it. The box was in his hand,
but he feared to throw the dice.
But he drew as near to her as he dared.
Once he gave her a flower, it was when she
was 17, and awkwardly expressed a Hope
that she would wear it for his sake. The
words were not much and the flower was
not much, but there was a look about the
man's eyes, and a suppressed passion and
energy in his voice, that told their tale to
the keen-witted girl. After this he fonnd
that she avoided him, and bitterly regretted
his boldness. For Beatrice did not like him
in that way. To a girl of her curious stamp
his wealth was nothing. She did not covet
wealth, she coveted independence, and had
the sense to know that marriage with such a
man would not bring it to her. A cage is a
cage, whether the bars are iron or gold. He
bored her; she despised him for his want of
intelligence and enterprise. That a man
with all his wealth and endless opportunity
should waste his life in such fashion was to
her a thing intolerable. She knew if she
had half his chance that she wonld make
her name ring from one end of Europe to
the other. In short, Beatrice held him as
deeply in contempt as her sister Elizabeth,
studying him from another point of view,
held him in reverence. And putting aside
any human predilections, Beatrice wonld
never have married a man whom she de
spised. She respected herself too much.
Owen Davies saw all this as through a
glass darkly, and in his own slow way cast
about for a means of drawing near. He dis
covered that Beatrice was passionately fond
of learning and also that she had no means
to obtain the necessary books. So he threw
open his library to her. It was one of the
best in "Wales. He did more. He gave
orders to a London bookseller to forward
him every new book of importance that ap
peared in certain classes of literature, and
all of these he placed at her disposaLhaving
first carefully cnt the leaves with his own
hand. This was a bait she conld not resist.
She might dread or even detest Mr. Davies,
but she loved his books, and if she
quarreled with him her well of
knowledge would simply run dry, for there
were no circulating libraries at Bryngelly,
and if there had been she could not have
afforded to subscribe to them. So she re
mained on good terms with him, and even
smiled at his futile attempts to keep pace
with her studies. Poor manl reading did
not come natural to him; he was much bet
ter at cutting leaves. He studied the Times
and certain religious works that was all.
But he wrestled manfully with many a de
tested tome in order to be able to say some
thing to Beatrice about it, and the worst of
it was that Beatrice always saw through it,
and showed him that she did. It was not
kind, perhaps, but youth is cruel.
And so the years wore on, till at length
Beatrice knew that a crisis was at hand.
Even the tardiest and most retiring lover
must come to the point at last, if be is in
earnest, and Owen Davies was very much iu
earnest. Of late, to her dismay, he had so
iar come out of his shell as to allow himself
to be nominated a member of the school
council. Of course she knew that this was
only to give him more opportunities of see
ing her. As a member of the council he
could visit the school of which she was mis
tress as often as he chose, and indeed he
soon learned to take a lively interest in
village education. About twice a week
be would come iu just as the school was I
breaking up and offer to walk home I
jritb, her, seeking for a, favorable eppor-1
tunitv to propose. Hitherto she had always
warded off this last event, bnt she knew
that it must happen. Not that she was
actually atraid of the man himself; he was
too much afraid of her for that. "What she
did fear was the outburst of wrath from her
father and sister when they learned that she
had refused Owen Davies. It never oc
curred to her that Elizabeth might be play
ing a hand of her own in the matter.
Prom all of which it will be clear, if in
deed it has not become so already, that
Beatrice Granger was a somewhat ill-regulated
young woman, born to bring trouble
oa hersell and all connected with her. Had
she been otherwise, she would have taken
her good fortune and married Owen Davies,
in which case her history need never have
been written.

THE BLACK LION A LASTEE.
He Sticks to Hlii Own Comfortable Qnnrters
" for Over 30 Years.
Boston Herald.
There are three varieties of lion in Alge
ria: The black, the gray, and the tawny.
The black is not so numerous, nor quite so
large as the others; but his head is nobler,
his chest broader, his limbs stronger, and,
altogether, he is the most formidable. His
mane along is black, long, thick, terrible;
the rest of his robe is of a tawny hue, deep
ening at the endB and fringes into brown.
The gray and tawny varieties differ only
from the black in the color of their mane,
and, as before said, they are a little larger,
and not so thickset. The former varieties
too, lead a wandering life, like most beasts
of the forest; bnt the black lion, having es
tablished himself in comfortable quarters,
oitea abides there for 30 years. He rarely
descends to attack the douars, or villages,

but does not extend this forbearance to the
herd, which he is very punctual in meeting
on their retnrn at evening from pasture. In
summer time, too, when the days are long,
he leaves his den st sunset, and posts him
self by the side of a mountain path in wait
for belated travelers.
Gerard tells us of an Arab who, on such
an occasion, dismounted, took off his horse's
harness, clapped it on his back and ran
away, while the unfortunate horse was
strangled. But things do not often turn out
so well, and the traveler, whether on horse
or on loot, very rarely escaped from a black
maned lion.
HEETftGS OP AFTER TEAE8.
Boys Together, Separated Afterward,
and
Then Reunited at Washington,
Minneapolis Journal.:
It has frequently been remarked that men
who are neighbors in youth separate at the
time of their boyhood and turn up again
years after in some place which neither one
of them ever expected to visit. The latest
exemplification of this is in the case of three
members of thee Cabinet. It has just been
discovered by Secretaries Noble, Rusk and
Windom that they were all born in adjoin
ing counties in Ohio and while they casually
knew one another iu years gone by they
never met in the interval nntil tney turned
up in Washington as members of Mr.
Har-
rison's Cabinet.
Just after the admission of Colorado into
the Union as a State there was a little gath
ering in the cloakroom one day at which
were present Senator Teller, Senator Ker
nan, Senator McPherson, Senator Beck,
Senator Angus Cameron and Senator Chaf
fee. They began to discuss old times when
Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, incident
ally mentioned that he was born in
one of the counties of "Western New
York. Beck, of Kentucky, said: ""Well,
I was not born there, but I lived in Living
stone county as a boy and spent all my
youthtul days in that section of the Empire
State. Teller, of Colorado, then recalled
the fact that he too was born close to where
Beck had lived in "Wyoming county and be
fore the party broke up it was discovered
that not only the five there gathered to
gether, but that seven in all who were then
Senators of the United State bad all been
boys in one little section of New York State
which mighthave been embraced in a radius
of CO miles, and further than that, when
these gentlemen came to think the thing
over they remembered that they had all, at
one time or another, known each other in
their boyhood days.
"WHAT'S Ilf A DiiEAH.
Two
Bemarkablo Occurrences That ore
Tory Hard to Explnln.
Boston Letter In St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Another case of telepathy was that of the
son of Bishop Lee, of Canada. The Bishop
fell down a flight of stairs in his residence,
receiving severe injuries, for which he was
afterwards treated at Hyde Park, near
Chicago. At the instant of the accident his
son was asleep in Denver. He sprang out
of bed, crying: "Father is ialling." His
wife told him he was dreaming, but he was
so impressed that he telegraphed home, and
learned that his dream, or whatever it was,
was a reality.
A story with a little romance in it is that
ot S. K. W., of Bridgeport, Conn., who was
returning from England on an ocean steam
er. One night he dreamed that his wife, who
was then in Bridgeport, opened the door of
his stateroom, -looked hesitatingly in and
then came forward and kissed him. When
he awoke in the morning the man who oc
cupied the upper berth in his stateroom
looked down and said: "You're a pretty
fellow to let a woman come in here in the
night and kiss you." Pressed for an ex
planation he described the scene which he
had experienced. Arrived at home he was
asked by his wife: "Did you receive a visit
from me on such a night? I made you one.
I was worried because of the reported storms
that night. I dreamed I went out on the
ocean and came upon a great black steam
ship. I went up the side and along the cor
ridor and opened your door. I saw a strange
man looking at me from an upper berth. I
was afraid at first, but finally I stepped in
and kissed you."

Washington, January 18.
HE Congres
sional Museum is
the most wonder
ful show in the
United States.
The three-acre
tent which covers
it is our national
Capitol and the
- two ringsat either

o'clock every day. In one the Senatorial
acrobats balance the cannon balls ot legis
lation on the tips of their fingers and go
through their gymnastics on the parallel
bars under the eyes of Vice President Mor
ton, and in the other the 330 political giants
and pygmies, clowns and freaks trot out and
show themselves to the buz-saw directions of
the biggest giant of them all, Thomas B.
Beed, the Speaker.
It is a costly show. The people of the
United States pay nearly 54,000,000 a year
to keep it going and the House of Represen
tatives' ring costs fully $2,500,000 yearly.
The actors of the lower House are paid
51,800,000 a year in salaries and the door
keepers and understrappers who run the
messengers and clean the spittoons get $700,
000 more. The actors ot the Senatbrial cir
cus cost us about 5500,000 a year and we pay
just as much to John J, Ingalls, who spits
fire from his mouth continually, as we do to
George, of Mississippi, whose chief distinc
tion lies in the fact that he has sworn never
to wear a dress suit or to ride in a carriage.
The most amusing part of the show is the
House of Bepresentatives. It is the costliest
dime museum of the nation, and as I sit in
the press gallery the biggest legislative hall
in the world lies below me. It covers fully
a quarter of an acre of ground, and six men,
as tall as Stewart, of Texas, who is over 6
feet in his stockings, might stand one on
the head of the other, and it the socks of the
first rested on the floor the gray hair of the
sixth would just graze the ceiling. The room
is 36 feet high, and its floor is covered with
1,700 yards of green velvet carpet of a
quality so good that it must have cost $3 a
yard. The light of the showroom comes ia
through the ceiling, and this is
made of iron and glass. This
ceiling is made in panels, which are

painted and gilded and each bears the coat
of arms ot a State of the union. Below this
ceiling all around the room run banks of
galleries which terminate at the edges of a
great central pit 15 feet deep, which forms
the bear garden of Congress. In this pit the
curiosities are caged. It is 151 feet long and
57 feet wide, and its walls are paneled in,
pink and buff paper, and around each panel
is a gilt frame fine enough to bind a Titian
or a Corot In these walls are cave-like
doors which lead to the cloak rooms, the
barber shops and the lobbies of the House,
and at each of the outer doors stand two men
to keep the outside world away from the
Congressional animals.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CURIOSITIES.
But let us take a look at the animals them
selves. There are 330 of them and they sit
in half-moon rows of chairs rising one above
another on the sloping floor of the chamber.
Each has a little white wood desk iu front
of him with a lid covered with blue baize.
Behind each row of desks there aje white
cane-seated office chairs so fixed upon
springs that the sitters can lean back and
put their feet upon their desks when they
will. Dockery, ot Missouri, is sitting so
now. The middle of this half-moon of rows
is bisected by an aisle and on one side of
this aisle are the Democrats, while the
other side is given over to the Republicans.
Behind a marble desk and under the
American flag with the reporters above sits
the head showman, Thomas B. Beed, of
Maine. He is the most curious figure in
the whole musenm, and is a freak of nature
in both brains and body. Six feet two, bis
body is all muscle, and his bald head, as
big as a peck measure and as white as &
boy's new drum, is nothing but brains. He
lacks the dignity of the ordinary ring
master. Sitting he leans over his desk rest
ing his football of brains on his beefy-like
shoulders and playing with his gavel.
Standing he throws his paunch to the front
as thongh he would fav it down for the time
on the Speaker's desk, and throwing his
head back he pokes the gavel at the mem
bers as he bobs both it and his head to the
front in counting the roll. He is the
highest-priced member in the whole Con
gressional show. He gets 53,000 a year, and
he is worth it.
The Congressional Museum has its fa tin en
and its living skeletons. The fattest has
already gotten a national reputation lrom
his superabundance of adipose tissue. His
name is George Barnes, of Georgia. He
weighs 400 pounds and be says he would not
take a thousand dollars for a single pound
of his flesh. He is nearly six feet tall, and
from the center of his spine to the button
which rests over the center of his front he
measures three feet five and one-halt inches.
His flesh is solid and he carries it well. He
is by Vo means an intellectual nonenity,
and he ranks as one ot the leading men of
his State. He has been in Congress for
several terms, and I am told bv Georgians
that he will stay here until he becomes the
fat old father of the House. Rife, of Penn
sylvania, is as broad as he is long; and in
fatness alone he may be called one of the
freaks of tHfe House. He has been a tanner
for the past 22 years and be is a living proof
of the healthlulness of the trade. He is a
man of means as well as of flesh, and is the
President of a railroad company as well as a
Congressman.
THE LIVING SKELETONS.
The thin men of the House are legion.
General Joe Wheeler does not weigh more
than 95 pounds. "Wickham, of Ohio, has
not an ounce to spare and John T. Caine, of
Utah, is all bones and brain. It is won
derful to think of the different amounts of
beef it takes to run human brains. Boswell
P. Flower, with his 200 pounds of flesh and
bone, has made a fortune, while Jay Gould
with 100 pounds of sinew has his tens oi

about 100 pounds, and he is brainy enough.

4,000 ounces of flesh and bone that make
up the Speaker's weight, to nourish
the gray matter on Tom Reed's cranium and
nearly the same amount it required to sup
ply that used up daily by Baker, of New
York. General Spinola carries about 155
pounds under his big collar and the 140
pounds of Frank Lawler elevated him from
a Chicago saloon to the House of Bepresen
tatives. .About 145 pounds sufficed to get
up Henry Cabot Lodge's biographies of
statesmen, and all of Holman's economy is
ground out under the support of pure bone
and sinew. Ben Butterworth weighs 200,

of good nature, shines forth from his coun
tenance. Dorsev, of Nebraska, gets along
nicely on 150 pounds, and Charley O'Neill,
of Pennsylvania, weighs 150 and his stom
ach is good. The total weight of the House
of Bepresentatives is nearly 50,000 pounds
and at the rate that we pay for the congres

CONGRESSIONAL ALBINOKS.
There are two albinoes in Congress, and
they are both men of weight. They are
Grosvrnor, 'of Ohio, and Breckenridge, of
Kentucky. Both of these have hair as
white as newly-slacked lime, and the faces
of both are as rosy as the setting sun.
Breckenridge has a wonderful head. He is
straight and well padded, and his head is
fastened bv a strong neck to a pair of bmad
ehoulders. The strands of hair are of the
finest of frosted silver, and his short full
beard"Xs of silver bristles. He is a hand
somiellow, and his blue eyes snap and his
face grows redder and his hair seems whiter
than ever when he makes a political speech.
He is known as the silver-tongued orator of
Kentucky, and he comes rightly by his elo
quence, tor in his veins flows some of the
same blood that produced John C. Brecken
ridge. He is well worth his 55,000 as a
show figure, and he comes out into the arena
at every political tussle.
Qthe other albino, Charley Grosvenor, is
now walking about the House with his
hands in his pockets. He is a straight,
good-looking, long-whiskered freak, and he
has as many outside tricks worth noting as
has Mr. Breckenridge. He is a good
speaker, and is happiest when engaged in a
political fight. He strikes from the shoul
der, and delights in espousing the extremest
views of his party.
THE HAIBT AND HAIRLESS.
Speaking of hair, the Congressional ani
mal show hasallkinds of all colors. There are
27 red heads in this Congress as there were in
the last, but the House has still its share
from the brightest Vermillion to the brick
dust hue, and from the black of Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, to the silky white fuzof Tom
Beed. Fully one-third of the members are
more or less bald, and this baldness runs all
the way from the little white spot as big as
a C0-cent piece, which now appears in the
center ot Ben Butterworth's crown, to the
vast expanse of rosy white which covers
the brains of Cole, of North Carolina. Hitt,
of Illinois, needs the services of the seven
long-haired sisters to revivify his scalp, and
Harry Bingham, of Pennsylvania, has no
more hair on the top of his head than you
will find about the rosiest dimple of Madam
Langtry's cheek. J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, is
fast becoming bald. McCreary, of Ken
tucky, has a forehead which is climbing to
ward his crown, and there is nothing but a
fuzzy down left on the big head of Boger Q.
Mills, of Texas. Amos Cummings' brains
are eating away his hair and Adams, of
Illinois, has a bald spot the size of a trade
dollar at his crown, around which the re
mainder of his brown hair radiates. Cabot
Lodge has short brown hair, which stands
up all over his head, and La Follette, of
"Wisconsin, is afflicted with a cowlick all
over his craninm. Ashbell F. Fitch, of
New York, lacks hair.
WOULD LIKE IX BEPLAHTED.
Crisp, of Georgia, wonld give 51,000 an
inch to have his head replanted and Silver
Dollar Bland will soon have a pate as white
as the coins which he believes the conntry
ought to use. Carlisle is fast growing bald
and Holman's hair is thinning. McKmley's
hair is still dark and well-thatched. Hen
derson, of Iowa, sports a magnificent brush
heap of iron gray, and McComas, of Mary
land, has hair as thick as the fur of the seal
and as black as the wing of the raven.
Martin, of Texas, oils his hair with bear's
grease and the locks of ex-Speaker Banks
ore thick and well brushed, though they are
whiter than snow. Cheadle, of Indiana, has
brown hair and a sandy beard, and he is a
freak of the first water, and it was he, who

the Democratic blind parson the chaplain of
Congress.

States which they represent.
Ex-Speaker Carlisle may pose as a his
torical curiosity, and General Joe "Wheeler,
that tight, little dark-faced man with a long
beard, was one oi the most noted cavalry
leaders of the Confederacy. Out of the 330
members fully one-half have war records,
and there are 90 Union soldiers in Congress
and 85 Confederate ones. Hooker, of Missis
sippi, one of the most noted of the Southern
members, lost an arm on the battle field,
and it was in battle that Henderson, Booth
man, of Ohio, and Laws, of Nebraska, each
lost one of his legs.
CONGRESSMEN "WITH HOBBIES.
Judge W. H. Holman, of Indiana, is the
economical freak of the House museum. He
has been here for 24 years, and during the
whole of that time he has been cutting down
the expenses of the Government on every
item. His knowledge of the cost of things is
wonderful. He knows to a cent just how
much every charwoman in the Treasury gets
and he can tell you to a mill what every
brick in the new Pension building cost He
is known as the great "objector" and he has
killed many a bill by slinging out his long
finger at the Speaker and saying, "I ob
ject" Judge Holman is six feet tall and a
foot and a half broad across the shoulders.
Silver Dollar Bland has made all the
reputation he has out of the silver bill which
bore his name. I am told that Senator
Allison was the author of the bill, but that
it was given to Bland and he got the credit
of it. Bland lsaseml-bald, brown-whiskered,
common-faced man of 54. He dresses in
business clothes and evidently wears his
suits a long time. Hn looks more like a
country grocer than a famous Congressman,
and he evidently has not a surplus of the
silver which is being coined in his name.
He comes from Ohio, and first came to Con
gress in 18S3, from Missouri.
THE FUNNIEST MAN IN CONGRESS.
The funny man, who is too good a fellow
to be called the clown of the Congressional
Museum, is Allen, of Tupelo, Miss. Allen
is possessed of the genius of humor. Fun
shines out through every line of his solemn
face and he is the best after-dinner speaker
at "Washington. Straight and slender, with
the sallow complexion of the South, he has
a low forehead which is rapidly rising
through his paucity of hair toward his
crown. He hns a brown mustache, bright
black eyes and a face like a funeral. He is
a good speaker and is possessed of good
abilities iu other ways than those of humor.
He is the only wit left in Congress, and he
is the prince of those who have gone before.
He outshines Jim Belford and throws
O'Neill, of Missouri, and Tim Tarsney, of
Michigan, into the shade. He isja better
story teller than was Sam Cox, and he could
make a fortune as a lecturer.
The tallest man in the House is still
Stewart, of Texas, and the shortest is little
La Follette, of "Wisconsin. Stewart is big
all over, lie weigns close to mo pounds,
and he has a leg as big around as Joe
"Wheeler's waist He has been in Congress
for six years and his speeches in the Con
aressional Record, if the pages were pasted
together, would not be as long as his frame.
La Follette is nearly a foot shorter than Mr.
Stewart is, and has twice the reputation on
the floor. He is a member of the Ways and
Means Committeeand notwithstanding his
5 feet 3 inches, his 100 pounds weight and
his boyish look, be has made a place for
himself in the House.
BOOTH'S ADVICE TO LA 1TOLLETTE.
He appreciates the disadvantage of his
size, and it is said that he once had a great
ambition to be an actor. He called upon
Edwin Booth and asked his advice about
studying for the stage. Booth told him
that he had no doubt that he possessed his
trionic talent, but, be said, referring to one
of Shakespeare's plays: "Suppose you were
fighting a duel in which you were to be the
leading character; you would probably hear
a cry from the gallery asking your opponent
to take one of his size. You are a bright
fellow, but you are too little to be an
actor."
La Follette then dropped the stage idea,
studied law and Is now making a reputation
as a statesman.
The new Congressmen furnish their share
of the curiosities. The onlv colored man in
Congress is Cheatham, of North Carolina,
who is a bright-eyed, well-dressed, ginger
bread mulatto, who has been a slave and
who is a college graduate and a lawyer.
"Rising Sun" Morse is a broad-faced
millionaire from Massachusetts, who makes
a big head look bigger by a pair of fat side
whiskers. He started life by peddling stove
polish, and he is now devoting himself to
sending seeds from the Agricultural De
partment to his constituents. John J.
O'Neill, one of the funny men of the last
House, is succeeded by a millionaire, and
one of the brightest of the new men from
Missouri is a black-haired brunette named
Frank who is all nerve and brain. Another
nervous little fellow is Wilson, from the
State of Washington, who tells enough good
stories to enable him to'Jaugh himself fat,
but who is as thin as a rail and who looks
as overworked as the horse of a bobtailed
car. Carter, of Montana, is a middle-aged
man of more than ordinary ability. He is
tall, brown-haired, fair-faced and has straw
colored chin whiskers. Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, is a rosy-cheeked; brown
mnstached man of 30 who rejoices in com
ing from Devil's Lake and who is an editor.
FATHER OP THIRTEEN CHILDREN.
One oi the curiosities of the House is Bul
lock, of Florida, who states in the directory
that he has a family of 13 children. He does
not say how many of his children are girls.
He is 60 years of age, has aided in founding
a female institute and has raised enough of
a family to start this academy. Hitt, of
Illinois, wears a red necktie. Bayne, of
Pennsylvania, always has a pepper-and-salt
business suit, and Cabot Lodge parts his
.hair in the middle. Williani M. Springer
never appears in the Honse without a rose
in his buttonhole, and Stahlnecker, of New
York, prides himself on his glossy side
whiskers, and is the handsomest man in the
House. The youngest man is Magner, of
Brooklyn. Martin is without doubt the
most unconventional Congressman, though
he has improved since his coming here a few
years ago. Henderson, of Iowa, has the
loudest voice; you could hear him across a
ten-acre field. Boutelle, of Maine, is an
other loud talker, and he gestures quite as
violently as he speaks. George D. Wise, of
Virginia, is one of the most eloquent of the
Southern men, and Ben Butterworth can
make as good a speech as any man on the
Republican side of the House.
All told, the Congressional show contains
a number of very rare animals, and though
at least 200 out of the 330 among them could
not make their 55,000 a year any place else,
lully one-third are worth the price paid for
their employment and earn it

ALGER'S LUXURIOUS PE1TATE TJAE
fCORRISPONPINCI OF TOT PISrATCB.l
New York, January 18 A prominent
railroad official stated the other day that but
for the fact that two-thirds of them use
passes, the men of wealth and prominence
interested in the nation's affairs would be
among the best patrons of the roads. As it
is, he added, they are the most frequent
Some of them spend as many hours inr rail
road cars as they do at their homes, and
journey all the way from 20,000 to 30,000
miles a year. The registers or all the well
known hotels reveal the names of men who
come here regularly every week or two,
traveling hundreds of miles and thinking
little or nothing of the trip. In fact, Sir
George Pullman has become so popular as a
host that many men do a large part of their
dictation and correspondence while in his
charge, and take their private secretaries
along with them for that purpose. A rapidly
growing tendency, too, is to have your own
car, request the railroad president to "dead
head" it over his line and branches, and
bring your family and all your friends
along with you. When any express train
is behind schedule time, ask the conductor
the reason for the delay, and nine chances
out of ten he will answer, "We had to hitch
3n Mr. So-and-So's car, He's making the
trip with us."
But there are still a great manv people
who cannot indulge in the luxury of a 520,

that amount of money into one there is no
use sending your order to Sir George Pull

ne naa been gone ten days, and had trav
eled a few thousand miles, yet he walked
over to his letter-box as quietly as if he had
come from his apartments upstairs, pulled
out his room key and a Uw letters, and
disappeared into the elevator, with a mere
"How are yon?" to the clerk. In less than
an hour his secretary was with him, and the
two took up their labors where they had
broken on on his departure, and the ten-day
gap was closed. Senator Piatt's business
affairs are making him a great traveler.
He has covered about 20,000 miles in the
last seven mouths, the trip to Alaska with
Governor Alger forming the bigger part of
it His last Southern trip is the-third he
has made recently, besides a jaunt last
spring to Florida and half a dozen to Wash
ington since the inauguration.
EVARTS, EISCOCK and tract.
Both the New York Senators average a
trip a week between this city and Washing
ton throughout the session. Secretary
Tracy, too, has spent more Sundays here in
the last year than he has at the national
Capital. Senator Hiscock, though, is the
best traveler of the three. I have known
him to leave Washington at midnight on
Friday, breakfast iu New York, have his
midday meal with legislators at Albany,
supper with constituents at Syracuse, back to
this city on Sunday night, and away on the
Congressional limited Monday morning.
There is nothing wonderful in doing all this
once, but when it is repeated as frequently
as he is compelled to do, with weekly trip's
here added to it, the journey becomes
monotonous, if not tiresome. Secretary
Tracy comes up Saturday afternoons and
disappears the next day. Mr. Evarts comes
and goes quietly, and spends his time at his
home or his law office.
Quite a number of the Senators have
business interests that call them here fre
quently. In fact, the Western millionaires
with Senatorial titles form a conspicuous
feature of life at the Hoffman House, where
at least one of their number is always to be
found. Senators Hearst and Jones are the
most frequent visitors of the group, but
Mitchell, Dolph and Stewart are looked for
at least twice a month. Leland Stanford is
a Tegular visitor, too, bnt he puts up at the
Windsor. Senator Gorman comes here
oftener than any other member from the
Democratic side of the Senate, as his rail
road interests demand constant attention.
When William L. Scott was in Congress he
was a regular shuttle-cock between here and
the Capital, and kept a room reserved all
the time at the Fifth Avenue. He has not
been so active since he put politics behind
him, and I notice that when he is here now
adays he is to be found among the group of
horsemen loitering around the St James.
Senator Washburn usually spends one day
a week at his business offices here, where he
meets the managers of his Minnesota mills.
QUICK TRIPS TO EUROPE.
Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, comes
up here quite frequently, though it is a long
journey. I remember that when he returned
from Europe last fall he told me that
but 28 days had elapsed between the
time he had left this city and his retnrn,
and that he had spent a week at the Paris
Exposition and a lew days in London. But
the quickest trans-Atlantic traveler I have
met is Nathaniel Page, of Washington. He
has crossed the big pond about 50 times,
and averages fonr trips a year. He is over
and back again in less than a month's time,
meanwhile having closed a pretty good bar
gain with our British cousins. While in
this country he is to be found as frequently
here as at his home.
One of the guests at the Everett Hotel last
week was Jefferson Chandler, of St. Louis,
who wants to take George Vest's place
as Senator from Missouri. "Jeff," as
he is familiarly called, has been cap
turing some big fees as a railroad
lawyer for several years past, and he
is compelled to come to this city frequently
to gather in the checks. Jay Gould s auto
graph adorns many of them. B. C. Kerens,
one of St. Louis' millionaires, journeys
here with Chandler, and a fortnight seldom
passes without finding one or both regis
tered at the St James. Ex-Congressman
Logan H. Boots, of Arkansas, forms one of
this group of Southwestern millionaires
who travel a great deal. I have known all
three of these men to come here lor a week,
return to St. Louis to attend a conference,
turn up here again in a few days, and then
off again for Chicago, Washington, Cali
fornia, or any place but home. The one
night stands ot a barn-storming company of
actors are no more trying than the constant
jourueyings of these men, who turn out of a
Pullman sleeper as fresh and buoyant as if
they had been in their comfortable beds at
home.
BEN BUTLEB DOESN'T LIKE Tt.
Ben Butler used to travel a good deal un
til he took a dislike to the Pullman sleeper.
Since then he has traveled only by day, and
as this occupies valuable time he confines
himself to New York and Boston. He has
law offices in both cities, however, and is as
much in one as in the other.
Sam Hauser, one of Montana's million
aires, who hoped to capture a Senatorial
seat, is as well known around the Madison
Square hotels as he is in Helena, and spends
at least a week out of cytty month here. It
is a long journey, but he doesn't seem to be
any the worse for it E. L. Bonner, who
also hoped for Senatorial honors from Mon
tana, but lrom the Republican side, is here
off and on. Russell Harrison has developed
into a rapid traveler since he became inter
ested in an illustrated weekly here, and is
coustantly on the "go" between Helena, In
tiiauapolis, Washington and this city. He
told me a lew days ago that he had traveled
at least 25,000 miles during the past year.
Perhaps the most frequent visitor to this
city, however, for a long distance traveler
is Colonel J. B. Montgomery, of Portland,
Ore., who turns up at the Fifth Avenue
half a dosea times year. Vloe President
Oakes, of the Northern Pacific, is here at
least once a month, and so is M E. Ingallt,
President of the "Big Four." From the
.South, ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia,
now a Union-Pacific Government director,
and General Gordon are constant visitors,
both having interests here that need watch
ing. John H. Inmau used to get in bis
Erivate car and go all over the South when
e was at the head of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company, but he is making
longer stays at home now. From
Chicago, Phil Armour, Sam Atherton, the
millionaire cattle men, and George Pullman
come to often that apartments are reserved
for them through the winter at the Windsor.
Mr. Pullman's private car is so arranged
that he can perform a large part of his work
in it, as he never travels without his secre
tary. ALGER'S PBITATE CAR.
General Alger's purpose to visit every G.
A. B. post reunion during the current year
means that he has mapped outl5,000milesof
traveling for that single object, and it is not
improbable that his business engagements
here and elsewhere will add from 7,000 to
10,000 additional miles. General Alger
uses his private car for practically all of his
traveling. It is one of the handsomest ever
turned out of the Pullman shops, and has
carried the Alger family all over this coun
try, up into Canada, and far into the Land
oi the Montezumas. He will use it on this
G. A. B. trip, which begins this month.
Chauncey M. Depew is another luxurious
traveler. A trip to Albany between break
fast and supper is to him. like a ride on the
elevated road to the ordinary business man.
Mr. Depew is at all points on the Central's
system at all times. When the journey
reaches beyond this State, one of the Van
derbilts is usually, along, as well as other
officials of the road. Not counting his
annual trip to Europe, Mr. Depew probably
averages 600 miles of traveling a week
throughout the year. He has a handsome
private car, and takes a fresh budget of an
ecdotes and stories on every trip, for the
benefit of his companions. All the Vander
bilts are great travelers, and like to be on
the cars. H. L. Stoddard.
POETS AND MILLI0SAIBE8.
Rockefeller Conld Command Fonr TImea the
Canal Price for Poems.
The recent publication by a Boston news
paper of an evidently authentic statement
of the earnings of a popular poet during the
year 1889 has not excited nearly so much
public interest as the estimate lately printed
iu the New York Times of the wealth of
John D. Rockefeller. Mr. Bocke fel
ler's fortune is believed to exceed 5129,000,
000. ' f poet earned by his pen, his im
aginaf p, and a deft and thoughtful use of
a rich ocabnlarv duringtheyearthesumof
5306 25. This represents the highest market
value of 38 of his poems, which he produced at
the rate of more than three a month.
The name of the successful poet for he is
successful beyond the common lot of
writers of verse is not given, but it is
surely familiar to readers of the best period
ical literature, for his verses have appeared
in all the magazines that are read by culti
vated Americans.
Probably Mr. Rockefeller could not write
38 poems in 38 vears. But if he chose to try
his hand at vera making we have no doubt
that he conld sell all the poems he produced
and his pay, It ne signed his name to them,
would be considerably more than 58 06
per poem. The magic of his name would
compel publishers to pay exorbitant prices
for his poems and to print very largftf di
tions of the periodicals containing them.
Anyone who has gained great fame and is
large in the public eye will have respectful
and admiring listeners and readers when he
talks or writes, whether or not he knows
anything of the subject he discusses.
But in this bustling, commercial era one
who writes poetry for poetry's sake has a
small chance of earning his livelihood with
his pen. If the Boston poet is a smoker,
the poems he produced in 1889 scarcely paid
his cigar bills.
MESMERISM AND FIEECfUCKEES.
A Stoaaaclinsetta Will-Cariat Supplement
Magnetism.
Boston Globe.!
Perhaps the most intelligent and least
susceptible patient that James Frazier the
mesmerist, has had in Onset Bay, Massachu
setts, is Daniel M. Ford, a landscape
painter, who has lived he"re in tranquil re
tirement for several seasons, and is now
finishing a cottage that he has built unaided
with his own hands. Mr. Ford is a man of
varied observation and keen discernment,
although the vein of mysticism is no more
lacking in his nature than in that of any
body else who lives in Onset.
He leaned back from his easel when I
called, and very kindly told me his opinion
of Frazier. His remarks were thoughtful
and cool, but he said that he had no doubt
of Frazier's spurious character as a healer.
He himself had gone to the cottage volun
tarily and stayed there freely in the hope
that some good might be done his rheuma
tism.
Frazier did not succeed in overpower
ing his mind or in giving him disquieting
visions. There were strange goings-on in
the house all the while, but they never
troubled him. His rheumatism improved
somewhat while at the cottage, but only
temporarily. It had probably done him a
little good to live in an air so well charged
with magnetism. But Mr. Ford did not
know of a single cure with which to credit
Frazier, although he had heard of the Lang
case, wherein, according to the story, the
paralyzed child was made well.by.one treat
ment. Frazier had visited Mr. Ford's cottage
since the artist left his care, and had
"evoked the evil spirits" about the place by
waving his hands and exploding firecrack
ers beneath the floor.
THE LANGUAGE OF THE FETUEE
English Spoken In Everr Port nod by a Hun
dred BlUIIon People.
St. Panl Pioneer Press.l
Pre-eminently the language of the future
will be English. It is a stalwart language
because it is the mother tongue of two stal
wart and one long-lived nation. Its rudi
mentary idioms were in use at the founding
of London, 40 years subsequent to the cruci
fixion of Christ Its vitality is in direct
ratio with the vitality of its parent nation.
The restless enterprise of English explora
tion has carried the language, with its flag,
around the world; Nelly Bly, speaking her
native tongue, can be understood in every
port and'every station embraced in her fly
ing circumvallation of the globe. The En
glish language has broken down the barriers
of old-time customs in diplomacy. To
American influences is due the discarding
of French at the Samoan conference at Ber
lin, and the adoption, for the first time, of
English in international discussion.
During the period of Bome's full fruitage
of supremacy, before political decay attacked
the empire.Latin was the universal language
of a limited world. The early English
dramatists wrote in a language known but
to 6,000,000, and Thomas Jefferson's inau
gural address could have been read but bv
16,000,000 people. At the latter period.
French was the language of from 35,000,000
to 50,000,000 people. Fifty years ago the
German language was in as great favor
numerically as English. Not so to-day. To
German is accorded a speaking clientele of
60,000,000; to French, 45,000,000; to English,
100,000,000. Should ever again the stars
have occasion to sing together, it can well be
assumed it will be in the language of those
earthly singers, Milton and Byron. Brvant

Bbttssels, January 11. Among the
many places or interest in the quaint old
capital of Belgium, not the least in impor
tance is an ancient mansion in the suburbs
of the city on the Bue Vautier, near the
Station du Luxembourg. Here lived and
died a man who, but for his eccentricities,
would have been one of the foremost artist
of the century.
Bom in 1806, dying in 1865, the career of
Wiertz is full ot instructive lesions to the
thoughtful student No artist of his day
was more highly gifted, or, indeed, were
there many of equal merit He possessed
that rare faculty of which Michael Angelo
is perhaps the greatest illustration of being
able to portray muscular power in repose,
and yet so realistically that you almost ex
pect to see it moving itself upon the canvas.
Angelo's statue of Moses, where the hercu
lean muscles ot the great law-giver seem
instinct with life and power, i3 perhaps the
best type of this gift in art
Wiertz, however, was unfortunate in pos
sessing an unbalanced mind, and all his
life was spent on the border-line oi insanity..
That weird, uncanny, unwholesome strain
that we see illustrated in Edgar Allan Poo
and of which there is just a suspicion in
Hawthorne colored all his life, and con
fined his genius to narrow limits. Of a
suspicious and jealous temperament, an
early lailure to have his pictures accorded a
prominent place in the Paris salons caused a
rupture with the artistic world of his day
and made him misanthropical and morose.
From that day he would neither have any
thing to do with It, nor would he sell 6;
even exhibit his paintings.
TOILED POB POBTT TEABS.
He changed his mansion into a great
studio, and there for 40 years toiled with,
his brush, producing the strange works
which at once illustrate his genius and his
insanity. After his death the mansion was
purchased by the city and is to-day one of
its sights under the name "of "Musea
Wiertz."
A very long and lofty room on the ground
floor once the drawing room ot the man
sioncontains his paintings. As yon enter
you at once face a huge canvas some 20 feet
high by 10 broad, illustrating "Polyphemus
Devouring the Comrades of Ulysses," and
entitled "One of the Great of Earth." This
represents Ulysses and his companions sur
prised by the Cyclops as they were eating
by a small camp fire. They are fleeing in,
every direction. The giant has sprung upon
them. Bending over, he has seized one
poor wretch and is crushing him between
nis teetn, nis enormous foot is pressing
down upon a second, while his right hand
is stretched out after a third;" All their
faces, as well as his own, are turned toward
the spectator. In these faces the artist haa
depicted the awful and horrible emotions of
their souls. The giant's face is lust, passion
and beastiality incarnated; while the terror,
agony and despair of the others beggar de
scription. And yet the genius of the artist .
triumphs over the horrors of the subject,
and iu spite of yourself you stop to gaze at
the mighty form of Polyphemus, whoso
every muscle stands out sharp and clear and
seems quivering with gigantic power,
XAPOLEOir AKD HIS VTCTUIS.
Another painting in this weird collection
is "Napoleon in Hell." Here the great
.emperor is represented as Ilea to a Stafee,
while around him are myriads ot shadowy
forms, representing the mothers, sister and '
daughters of the men slain to gratify his
ambition. One holds the head of her son in
one hand, another the heart of her lover, and
another the body of her babe. With long;
tremulous fingers they all point accusingly
at him as the author of all their woes. In
his lace are portrayed all the emotions one
would expect to find there under such cir
cumstances. The whole gallery is filled with just such
paintings, all of the uncanny sort, and yet
all showing that the handof a master guided
the brush that painted them.
In one end of this gallery another phase
of his eccentric character is illustrated. A
number of V-shaped fences, each about
eight feet high, stand there, making small
triangles, with the side of the room forming
one boundary. Circularopenings about one
foot in diameter are cut in these partitions,
just high enough to look through conveni
ently. You approach and gaze through
these little apertures. Each division will
have a picture hansrin? opposite, whlln lha
little room thus made will be arranged to
form the complement to the picture.
ANOTHER AWJTJL SPECTACLE.
One picture, called "The Resuscitation,"
represents the burial place ot a city during
a plague. A coffin has been hastily depos
ited there dnring the epidemic and'left in
stantly. Its unhappy occupant has revived,
broken the cover, pushed it up and forced
his head out As you look in through the
opening you catch the appealing glance of
this abandoned, miserable wretchwho haa
taken in his awful- situation. It is not a
pleasant spectacle for one subject to night
mares. Another alcove has the entire side oppo-'
site the opening covered with a mirror. The
sidewhich you are on is covered with a pic
tufa, which is reflected in the glass. This
picture represents the most horrible, dis
torted and deformed wretch imaginable.
The artist though, has given him no face.
This, however, is supplied by the visitor,
for the opening is deftly arranged so that it
finishes the figure. Imagine the sensations
of the spectator as he looks in and beholds
his own face on the shoulders of a body as
frightful as the genius of the artist could
make it
The whole gallery, in short, -presents s
constant succession of startling pictures, re
plete with ability and genius, and yet with
a strange, weird, horrible something as a
background. G. W. L.
TO EXTEKMINATB MOSQUITOES.
Plan to Increase the Value of Hew Jersey
Seal Eatate.
New York Bnn.l
Last July Dr. Bobert H. Lamboru, of
this city, devised a plan for decreasing the
number of or exterminating mosquitoes and
house flies. It occurred to him that possibly
entomologists might discover In the dragon
fly or the mosquito hawk, or someother ene
my of the mosquito, a friend of man worthy
of encouragement and propagation. Ac
cordingly, he placed in the hands of Morris
7
K. Jesup, President of the American Mu-
seum of Natural History, $200, to be paid ia
prizes for the best essays, based on original 3t
observations and experiments, on the de-3?j
structiou of mosquitoes and flys by other in-TE
sects. A number ol valuable essays ia"
competition lor the prizes have already beea
received.
Dr. Lamborn has preferred to proceed,.,,
cautiously and with the best scientific ad- ..
vice on the subject, having in view the un- "
fortunate mistake that was made in the!;
effort to exterminate the inch worms, which. .
resulted in giving us the greater pest of tha
English sparrow. He recalls that before ,
the sparrows were introduced scientific men ,
gave warning that they would prove a "T
greater nuisance than the worms, but the, ,
warning wa unheeded. He does not prc-"i
pose to propagate anr destroyer of the mot-j
quito who will be a greater pest than thaVS
mosquito himself. If the doctor succeeds ho p
