"You are joking" he said.

"And the other half" burst in Ha-

"Shc will keep herself" laughed
Brosc.

SENATORIAL IRREGULARITIES.
Characteristic Habits of Some of tho
Members of Americas Upper House.

| Characteristic Habits of Some of tho
| Members Of Americas Upper House.
Many of these Senators have peculiar
habits of amusing themselves while they
| sit in the chamber. Senator Hoar is
always swinging bunch of keys, and
he seems to be uneasy when he does
not have them in his hands. Ingalls,
has two pairs of glasses for his eyes.
One is pair Of spcctaclos which l
Judge are.for ncar-sightedncss, and the
other is pair of gold Eyeglasses which
he uses to read by. ingalls, is very fond
of playing with these Eyeglasses. He
holds them up by the black string with
which they are fastened, and twirls
them around between his thumb and
finger, holding his elbow on the arm of
the seat while he looks about the Senate.
Senator Mitchell is great letter-writer,
and his desk is always covered with pa
pcrs. He scribblcs away all day, and
he seems to never have an idle mo-
mcnt.
William nj. Evarts is piece of per-
petual motion. He never sits STILL and
hobs from one scat to another, carrying
laughter with him, and bringing broad
grin across the jaws of every Senator he
meets, by his good stories. Malone is
another man who moves about the SEN
ate II good deal. His walk is a sort of
a strut, and the atmosphere about him
seems permcatcd with the word
game" He has n way of throwing
back his head and waving his long
beard with defiant air. He often pulls
this beard, grasping whole handful at
the chin. and twisting the hair slowly as
he goes downward the full foot of its
length. lie affects some ccccntricitics
of dress. He is noted for wearing
clothes of the finest quality, and he oc-
casonally has ruillcs on his fine linen
shirts. He wears his vest unbuttoned
very often, and his coat is cut in tho
shape of bell, with skirts full enough
for hips twice his size.
Morrill,, of Vermont, has way of sit
ting and resting his big head on his
hand while he moves his jaws continu-
ally, but whether he is chewing the cud
of Congressional discussion or that
which produces nicotine, do not know,
most probably the latter.
Philetus Sawyer enjoys himself as
much as any man in the Senate. His
big round fat frame is shaken so much
by his laughter that should think its
atoms would become mixed into other
| shapes than those for which heaven de-
signed them. When Sawyer sits down
the chair crcaks. He likes to tell stories,
and he enjoys a joke as much as his
dinner.
Blair is long-whiskered, rcd-bearded
fellow, who is hard worker and who
is always ready to speak. He talks
| long and some of the Senators think
| him rather tircsomc. Senator Sherman
generally has something in his hands.
and he plays with the gavcl great
deal when he is in tho chair.-Cdrp, On

CHICAGO, June 30.-More than usual in
Ierest was attracted to-day in Judge Collins
court by the continuation of the trial of the
,uit of Ellis 81 Putnam to recover So, 500
ost by Alberto. Bradstreet, an employee, in
George Hankins' gambling house ON two
occasions, in 1SS1-S2. The money was
stolen by BradStreet, who had the effrontery
TO go on the Witness stand yesterday and
admit it. as also further populations. He
testified that he stole in all 81, $50 from his
employers, of which amount he lost SO, 500
In Hankins' place. The remainder, 81, $50,
he lost in other gambling houses and spent
on men and women in bagnios. Bradstreet
was connected for less than year with j.
Y. Scammon'S Marine bank, and Mr.. Trude
attempted to show by his own testimony
that he left with a shortage there and also
that he stole 50, 200 from the South Boston
Gas company years ago, but the court ruled
that other witnesses must be produced to
swear to these facts. Bradstreet testified
that he kept memorandum of his lar
cenies from Ellis 81 Putnam and also his
expenditures i'll gambling houses and
bagnIos, but he ''lost' the book while at
Las Vegas hot springs. George Hankins
and half dozen others testified that Brad
street lost only $24O in the formers house.
This sum Mike Mcdonald swore himself he
paid to Bradstreet when the latter made a
row. The jury will return verdict to-

cation does not diminish crime that of
sixty-five criminals before the court
fifty eight had received some education,
twen6y-three could read and write per-
fectly, and only seven could neither
read nor write. It was also shown that
whereas in 1870 of the children sent to
reformatory schools ffty-one per cent.

parents against making the Bible a

Briscoe said it was customary when
boys and girls misbehave to make them

ment. Such task-work as this the
speaker denounced as infamous. It
made the Bible a book of terror, hated
by the children. Instead of this the
children ought to be trained to love the
Bible, and to regard the reading of it as
a privilege, not as a punishment. The
Bible, he thought, was the best story.
book in the world for boys and girls,
and if children must read stories they
ought to read the best stories-that is
the Bible ones.
