THE LOBBY.

1t is quite generally known that mer
who hang about Legislative lobies sell thu
( votes of members sometimes, too often
it is believed with the consent OF those
whose votes are secured There arr
questions however, on which members
have voted and had no connection witt
the lobby. hnt for whose woes the lobby
have received large sums of money. A
sample case is here presented from The
Washington D. G, Republic
Its but few years since the vote +"
leading Senator, of unquestioncd integ
rity, was sold for $4,000 cash, and th'
money actually paid to the lobby and by
them divided or used for their own pur
poses. though the fact did not come t.
the knowledge of the Senator until years
after; and this is the way it was done
An important financial measure wa'
pending, and a knowledge in advance
of which way it would be decided would
enable operators in the great cities te
make large amount OF money; and
after careful canvass Of the sviews oI
Senators, the lobby reached the conclu
sion that, as this particular Senator should
vote, SO would the question be decided
The position of. tie Senator seemed to re
quire that he shou! not disclose his
views until he was ready to do so on the
floor Of the Senate, that he whole coun
try should be notified at the came time,
and all parties be placed upon equal foot
ing. Through some leakage from the
committee room, the lobby ascertaincd
that the Senator was privately preparing
a speech on the question, and it. therefore,
become important to know the tenor of
the speech before it could he delivered
A person having access to the commit
tee room undertook this task, and by an
lawfully opening the desk or drawer in
which the papers of the Senator were
kept. procured and read The notes Of the
speech. Having thus surrep,i,iously OBJ
tained the required knowledge, the lob
byist was prepared to negotiate upon a
certainty, and at once applied to the pro
per party with the proposition TO guaran-
tee The vote of the Senator for the rum
of $4,000, which was promptly PIT up
and, upon the delivery CT the speech and
passage of the bill, paid over to tie con
tracing pdrty; and the agent of lie par
ties who favored the passage of tie bill,
and probably the parties themselves were
left to the conviction that this distinguish
ed Senator had actually barered his vote
for lie sum of $1,000, while. in fact,
the Senator knew nothing of the matter
until some two years after, when it acci
IDENTIFY came to his knowled re; till then
he supposed that the delivery of his
speech in the Senate gave the first knowl
edge of his views outside of the commit
tee room.
Gases not unlike this are of common
occurrence, though generally involving
mailer amounts.

Of all the extraordinary marriages the
one performed near Mercer, few days
since, heads the list. A young couple
who were out buggy riding were sudden
ly taken with desire for mairimouy
and having met the eccentric Squire of
the town, who was accustomed to marry
ing people on the street corner in broad
daylight, and under al! sorts of other odd
circumstances. they started for his office.
On the way they were overtaken by a
heavy shower, and took refuge under a
canal bridge. The rain continued, with
no indication of a very speedy termina
ton, and the Squire, who favors the
principal of improving spare moments,
suggested that the ceremony be perform
ed then and there. The anxious couple
blushingly consented and the knot was
made as fast as it could have been done
in drawing room or church.-Ptts

The ladies of the Moquis tribe of
Indians, in Arizona, have a very conven-
lent way of distinguishing maids and
matrons, so as to prevent any possible
mistake on the partof bachelors in search
of wives. As soon as the girls arrive at
a manageable age, they do their hair up
on each side Of their head, something in
the shape of two great wings, or as it
most reminds one, of the wheels of a
steamer. As soon as they enter the holy
bonds of matrimony they drop their
wings and then their hair hangs in large
rolls by the side of the head.
