WHAT SENATORS DRINK.-Returning 10
the Senate, it is interesting to look at the
various beverages. Frye, Blair, Teller and
Toe Brown are among the teetotalers, and
Brown is one of the first temperance
men in Georgia. He avowed temperance
principles long before the State became as
much anti-liquor as it now is, and he keeps
up with his early record. Senator hoar
drinks milk. Vest, true Missourian that ne
is, can stand anything, and Edmunds likes
good whiskey and old brandy. Ex-senator
Pendleton was very fond of champagne ana
his committee room often contained :
choice article of alcoholic stimulant. Beck
and Blackburn like old Bourbon, but they
never get too much of it, and of the numer-
Gus Senators who take just little for their
stomach's cake have seen few of them at
fected by their drinking. The statesmen
of the past drank considerably. Chew
slier Baucourt, in his nopseDsical book call

Webster was drunk at several dinners at
which he met him Henry Clay occas' on

toms favori:e drink was what he called
