RaItimrra AmarTsso

Baltimore American.
The wife of g western Congressman,
quite well known in the House, hiss cosy
little apartment and in the dining room
she has three rooms in all-is a curious
looking settee, or sofs, which has often
attracted the attention of her visitors.
1t looks like large box covered with
imitation Iudian clota. II has figures
aud plenty OF gold thread running through
it While the top is tuit and makes rather
soft seat.
She had some guests to tea The other
evening, end one Of them remained later
than the others. The guest was seated on
the sofa, slipping glass of wine, talking
to the Congressman and his wife, when
the door suddenly opened and an appari-
ton appeared 1.-THE thresh It was the
six-year-old child of the member from
the west. The boy was arrayed in his
night clothes. and carried over one arm 8
rough bath towel, while under the other
he had snugly tucked away large sponge.
La one hand he held { cake of soap, and
the other grasPad the knob of the door.
His mother gave an exclamation Of
surprise when she beheld him, but before
sic could say anything the enfant terrible
shouted out: 81 say, Mr.. JONES'" thus
addressing the stranger, chow much
longer are you going to stay? l have
been waiting here for the last hour for
you to 60 home go l can take my bath.
Do you know you are sitting on the bath
tub and 1 can not get in until you go
homer"
The scsne that followed can be i'm
agined. Tue gentleman soon after left.
The boy, being in very convenient cos
tune, had sound spanking, while his
mother lifted the top of the curious
looking sofa, and displayed inside the
zinc lined bath tub, spigoLs and gil COM
plete. The guest gave the joke away,
and now the member swears that next
time he entertains he will hire house If
1t takes all his salary. He has had
enough of this mechanical furniture, and
especially bath tubs hidden in sofas.
