Too EXPENSIVE A WATCH FOR A RAILROAD
PRESIDENT "A railroad President, living
not n thousand miles from Bridgeport,
went into n large iewelry store IN Broad
way, New York recently, and among 9th
er things inquired for a watch. He was
shown a Rumbor of various grades and
prices, and finally an extra article was pro-
duced that seemed about the thing de-
sired, and which was worth about 81, 200.
'Are you sure they are reliable time-keep-
ers 7" asked the President. Certainly, 4"
replied the clerk, "and as proof of the fact
let me add that two of the conductors on
the - and - Railroad mentioning
the road of which the purchaser was Pres
ident,) have them % Indeed" said the
President, "a very good recommendation,
but they are too expensive for meP'-
Whether the gentleman wants to exchange
positions with the conductors or not we
have not learned.

will make his book attractive to large class

SENATORIAL MANNKRs.-A good deal OF hu-
man nature is to be found 10 Senators IS well
as in other people. A Washington oorres-
pondent describes some exhibitions of it:
The new Senators are unsophisticated, and
commence by being very attentive to every
body without respect to persons, but by-and-by
they get seasoned as il were, and become
hard-hearted. And when their term is about
to expire, and they are not to be returned,
they throw off diplomatic restraint altogether
and indemnify themselves for past amiability
by treating applicants with positive rudeness
since they have nothing more at stake. / re-
member marked instance of this kind in
man who used to be one OF the most defer
ential of Senators. A lady who wanted some
thing of him sent for him one day shortly be-
fore his term expired. He came out looking
so cross that she stammered out, II fear you
are very busy" r ~ lefta
II am" was the reply 81 fear have in
truded." "You have" glaring at her with i'll
concealed impatience. might ask if-if-."
Then followed the request, trifiing one,
bound up with ''if you please" To which he
replied, ''No, Madam, / do not please at all;
good morning" and went away. The lady
burst into tears. .....-..
Nye is in great request among the ladies'
and is something of bear. But so much
feminine boring is enough to transform any
man into bear! Wilson comes out a good
deal-mostly to see women-as he is interest
ed in woman's rights and all that-always with
his head set little to one side in a knowing
manner. Summer is never seen outside of the
Senate Chamber.
