SCENES IL THE SENATE.

So dramatic and public defying were the

tional incentives for scene lovers 10 visit

debate, there was never tagging interest
in witnessing great leader In debate SO
in the tolls Of brilliant woman that he
openly paid his court to her from his desk
in the Senate Chamber as she fondly
watched him from the private gallery set
aside for the use OF Senator'S families,
This daily public demonstration was at
times OF such an exaggerated character as
TO almost surpass belief unless actually
witnessed. At times it seemed as il every
speech Conkling made was for Mrs.
Sprague's benefit. The moment she en-
tered the gallery was almost invariably the
signal for Conkling to pose for her benefit
by at once entering by some pretext into

The Washington correspondent Of the
Chicago TINES telegraphs the following
interesting matters OF personal history:
The attentions which Senator Conkling
paid Mrs. Sprague during the first year q
their intimacy were not very marked.
The scandal did not become the topic OF
social gossip until about two years ago.
Then they began to appear frequently In
each others company at social dinners,
public receptions, private parties, and
public amuSements. Senator ConklinR's
family has not resided In Washington for
five or six years. The III health OF Mrs.
Conkling and the distaste OF Miss Conk.
ling, the Senator's only child, for Wash.
ington society, was the excuse given the
public for their absence. Itwas, however,
no secret TO the initiated that liaison oi
the Senator with the wife OF Federal
official well known In New York was the
real cause Of the abandonment by Mrs,
and Miss Conkling Of the society OF the
national capital. The relation Of Conk.
ling TO this woman did not cease till some
time late in the year 1875 or early in 1875.
Coincident Herewith, the scandal Of his
devotions to Mrs. Sprague began to grow
apace. For o year they attracted but little
attention outside OF official society. With.
IN this circle, however, they were the sub
iect OF more or less comment. The house
