Amusements of MilIionaires.

New York Cor. Philadelphia Record.
Some years ago / sat one evening read
ing a volume of Prescott's histories in the
library OF a rich Wall street man who was
a bank president at 80, when he came in
and asked me if / really enjoyed reading
such books. He added that he found it
impossible to interest himself in any of
the hundreds of volumes he had pur-
chased, though he had tried hard TO do
80. "When | take them up" he said,
~ see nothing but rows of stock quota
tons on every page" This gentleman
died at 40, and left a large fortune at the
price of his life-a fortune which his
family has since dissipated. Had he had
anything to occupy his mind outside of
his office and when he left Wall street he
might have lived to enjoy the pleasure OF
spending the million he had made. In
almost every case some special amuse-
ment or point OF relaxation is a sanitary
necessity for the business man whose
brain is racked by the concentrated
pressure of his six hours of daily ''street'
labor. Jay Gould is q diligent
reader of books and a cultivstor of exc.
tics. Vanderbilt never opens a book,
but his horses and stables help to freshen
up his intellect. John Jacob Astor

THE SENATE RESTAURANT.
What Our National Statesmen Eat,
and How.

The Washington correspondent of
The Troy Times writes: The senate res
taurant has become the club room of the
capitol. With a colored man in charge,
the senators now get the best cooking
and attendance in town. Representatives
go their to lunch and senators boast of it
outside. / was talking to John Francis
the other day. He is the colored man to
whom Mr.. Edmunds gave the restaurant,
with 50, 900 or $1,000 a year. $50 the
senators generally spend much money
with your l ask him. "No," he went
on, ''as a rule they come down here and
eat crackers and milk. My milk is most
all cream and they like it. Most of them
are here each ay, although a few have
their lunch sent to a committee room.
Senator Morrill, always eats crakers and
milk, 80 do Senators Hoar and In.
gals. Mr.. Platt always drinks tea.
Senator Vest likes to stand up to the
oyster counter and take q dozen on the
shell with some ale. Perry Belmont is
often here eating raw oysters. Gen. Lo.
gan is very abstemious. Mr.. Aldrich
generally eats a steak. But the best of
our custom is from the outsiders. They

the senators. Generous2 Well, not many
of them. They do not come down to the
walters very handsomely. The poorest
men are the most liberal. Mr.. Frye is
kind, and always has a pleasant word for
the walters; so does Mr., Garland. Gov.
Vance has his pockets full of dimes, and
throws them out literally. Gen. Logan,
when he feels good, is liberal, but tho
tips generally come more from outaiders
than senator's" A large closet full of
brandy and wines stands i~nvitingly in
plain view, notwithstanding the new rule
that no intoxicating liquors shall be al
lowed. They are sold to any
one who calls. but Mr.. Blair's wild
remark that the restaurant is the ''na-
tional GROCERY" was a good way from the
truth. Very few senators drink to excess.
Some of them have a bottle or two in
their committee-rooms. MI. Hale enter
tains his friends occasionally with wine-
spreads. Pendleton always has some
champagne and makes a point to hand il
around freely when the democratic

JESSIE FREMONT.
Tho,,Brilliant Wife of II Famous Pho
necr.

had a talk with the famous Jessie
Fremont the other day, writes a Wash.
ingtnn correspondent to The Lewiston
Journal. 1t is very easy to see at a glance
that she was a very handsome girl. Her
good looks, however, have not entirely
departed. Rather, beauty has changed
to sti,teliness. She is large and stout,
and combs her luxuriant hair straight
back. She is to all appearances as happy
and contented as when a girl. Notwith-
standing age has changed her looks, | am
told it has not changed her N in
the least. She still graces the drawing
room with as much ease and composure
as ever, and talks with the same brill
ancy.
She is a daughter of the noted Thomas
Benton, of Missouri, for many years
United States senator from that state.
She met Fremont in Washington, where
upon the latter became frantically in love
with her. Her father and mother were
very much averse to the match, and did
everything to break it. The young
couple. however, were determined, and
were married by a Catholic priest, no
Protestant clergyman c%onsenting to per-
form the ceremony. Althoughsenator and
Mrs. Benton were very angry, a recon-
Citation soon took place.
Mrs. Fremont was a woman of remark
able courage and fortitude. She joined
her husband in many of his journeys in
the west until they finally settled in Cali
fornia. In the early days of California a
struggle ensued as to whether slavery
should exist there, The pro. slavery
party, 30 the story goes, labored with the
women of the state, telling them that UNI
Less they kept slaves they would be slaves
themselves. Mrs. Fremont was approach
ed, whereupon she stoutly replied; mo!
Rather than have slavery in California,
I'll do my own work. l have done it 80
recognized in California after that.
In the summer of 1856 Fremont was
chosen "a the republican nominee for
president. A glance at the files of news
papers of the time convinces one of the
bitterness of the contest, and of the i'm
portant part Mrs. Fremont played in the
campaign. Her name was in everybody's
mouth, and was the subject of campaign
songs. But Gen. Fremont was defeated,
and Jessie never entered the white house
as the presidents wife.
"Yes, We have lived in New York ever
since the war;" she said, land are as
happy as ever in our old age. The gene
raj is az young and vigorous as any of
you, if he is II years of age. He has
never worn glasses in his life-never had
a tooth 6lled-and very seldom has had
anything to do with doctors No, of
course, he does no business to speak of,
but lives a very quiet and happy life"
Should MI. and Mrs. Fremont be spared
two or three years longer, they will cele-
brate their golden wedding.
