A Abseut-nIadsd senator.

That curious Democratic person
age, Senior Goldthwaite, of Ala
bama, will soon disappear from
public life. His successor is elected.
Senator G~oldthwaite has long been
afflicted with observation-disclosures.
lie has great difficulty in keeping
track with his wearing apparel. He
constantly loses his coat or his hat.
One or two pages are kept running
a good deal Of the time to supply
the gentleman's lack of intellect.
If he goes to the House, he will
take his hat and cloak there and
be sure to leave one or both of them
on a sofa or on some members
desk. He has often had to wait for
hours while pages and messengers
were hunting up stray garments.
He also has the habit Of taking
other peoples coats by mistake,
particularly if they happen to hang
near his own peg. One day a SEN
ator missed his coat, which had
about $500 in money in it. The
disappearance was attended by such
singular circumstances, that the de-
tectives were quietly put upon the
trail. Four days afterward a coupe
of detectives called at Senator
Goldthwaite's house and asked him
il he had his own coat. After
searching his closet for a time he
returned, bringing the lost coat,
saying, "This does not look quite
like my coat" The lost money
was found safe in the pocket. This
story is told BY an officer Of the
Senate.
