WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congressmen as a
rule are in bad humor. They are disposed
to complain of things generally. and the
Western members especially criticise the
conduct of affairs during the last session
Ode OF the things they complain of was
what was known us this Steering commit

history connected with the origin and
com position of this somewhat anomalous
coterie which has never been written, hav-
ing been up to The time enveioped in the
7ecro's Of the caucus. It is as follows:
ar. Robson became chairman of the
caucus as the result Of an agreement be-
tween the rival candidates for The speaker
salp the day before the election for that
G.sice occurred. With this understanding
aae house first met for organization. and
Mr. Robeson was placed in the chair.
Afser the transaction of business, which
was confined to the election of the officers
OF the house, Mr. Hiscock made the motion
that the chairman of the caucus apppoint

An Ingenious SWind,,a.

A very audacious but skillfuIly-con-
trivad diamond robbery took place in
Paris. A man giving his address as Col.
CASTOR, OF the United States, went into
a iewelry shop and selected number of
expensive diamond ornaments, valued
in all at SCI, 900. These he put in a
small leather bag, for security in travel
ing, as he said. which locking be placed
on the counter in full view of the sales
man. Then he took up a pencil and ap-
peared to be busy making some calcu-
lations. While so engaged confeder-
ale entered the shop and asked to look
at some handsome shirt studs, and while
the salesman was opening the show case
to take them out he managed to secure
the leather bag and to slip into It's place
a duplicate bag. As soon as the con-
federase had withdrawn. the self-styled
Colonel otfereda check for his purchases.
The salesman said he must have cash.
whereapon the Colonel handel him over
the duplicate bag and left, saying he
would soon return with the money,
which, OF course, lie neglected 10 do.

The "Lucky Escape"

On the night of Oct. II, 1861, tail,
swarthy young man with a companion
slipped into the George Inn, Brighton
(Eng), and said he would wait to meet
a seafaring acquaintance. In earlier
days the host had been employed in one
Of the London palaces, and he racog-
nized in his seedy visitor Prince Charles,
son OF the monarch who, more than two
years before, had been beheaded ut
Whitehall. After the battle Of Worces-
ter the young Hing had experienced
many adventures and worn many dis
guises-there was price upon lis
head; but the innkeeper, either from
loyalty Or discretion, did not offer to
modest the fugitive Or lis companion.
Tie Captain OF q collier, Nicholas Tet-
tersell, then appeared, and took Charles
and his companion, who was the Earl
rf Rochester, on beard his vessel and
lauded them in France, for which
service many. things were promised.
The Restoration came, but none OF the
gifts, and Tettersell therefore sailed into
the thames and moored off Whitehall.
where his dingy bark attracted the at
tention of'the King. who, being thus re-
minded, gave the Captain ring, per.
petual annuity of slOO a year, and took
the collier into the navy under the name
Of the Lucky Escape.
