counted down $50 in small bills and sill
Yer. The stranger gave him his quar-
ter, raked in his bet, and leaving half
dollar on the bar for drinks, he said
goodbye and walked out. Then the
men looked at each other in a sheepish
way for long time before one Of them
heaved deep sigh and said:

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll has been in
Washington this week, but he has not
called at the executive mansion. Since
the experience with the Republican
national committee, when he was denied
the opportunity to advocate the claims
of Gresham, writes New York Tribune
correspondent, Col. Ingersoll has not
had the active interest in government
which he was wont to display. Some
one asked him in one of the capitol COR
ridors few days ago: Have you been
to the White house receHtly?"

There are a number of senators who
are not on the most friendly terms with
each other. says Frank Carpen-
ter. Morgan, of Alabama, and
Mitchell, of Oregon, will never
sleep in the same bed, and it is hardly
possible that their relations will ever
become friendly. The trouble occurred
not very long ago, when Senator Nor
gan charged Senator Mitchell with
being representative of railroad cor
pOratiOnS, and when Senator Mitchell
retOrted by saying that whatever he
might do and that he would not discuss,
he had never disgraced himself in the
senate by Keeling into the chamber in
state of beastly intOXication, as the SEN
ator from Alabama had done. Senator
Harris and Senator HiScOck have not
been on good terms since their fuss at
the latter part of the last session regard
ing the bureau of engraving and print
ing, and there are number of other
senators who seem to have secret an
tagonlSm towards one another. This
does not come out in their speeches and
1t does not affect, to any great degree,
their intercourse. 1t is often so with
senators from the same state. You sell
dom see Sherman and Payne together,
and the representatives of the great
state of Ohio have nothing in common.
Senator Chandler and Senator Blair are
not hand and glove, as two great states
men who have interests in common
should be, and Chandler evidently
thinks Blair crank and Blair appar-
emily knows it. Ingalls, and Plumb are
friendly enough, but they do not hob
mob together, and EdmundS and Morrill,,
though good friends, are by no means
boon companions. 1t is the same with
many of the other SENATOR'S representing
the same state.
Don Cameron is good friend and
bad enemy. The especial object of his
aversion iii the person of Van Wyck, of
Nebraska, has left the chamber. Cam
eron carried in his soul the friendships
and the enmities of his father, and he
hated Van Wyek because he had made
a bitter personal attack upon Simon
Cameron when he was in the house of
representatives. He almost assaulted
Van Wyck at the time that he made
charges against Attorney General
Brewster some years ago, and the scene
of that day is not yet forgotten in the
Senate chamber. Cameron was very ill.
He got up in front of Van Wyck
and Interrupted him in his speech. He
shook his fist at him and told him not
to talk any more in that direction.
There was an uproar in the chamber.
The vice president tried to restore
order, and Cameron finally was taken
by his friends into one of the cloak
sofa. He was very sick man, and, had
he been i'll his present health, the affair
might have ended for the worse for Van
Wyek.
The great friendship of Senator Cam
eron and Senator Butler, of South Caro-
olina, also starts, am told, with Don
Cameron'S father. The incident occurred
before the wal, when Simon Cameron was
elected to the senate. and through some
hitch or other came near missing his
seat. Pierce Butler, Senator Buffers
uncle, was then senator from South
Carolina. He made fight for Simon
Cameron and it was his speeches and
vote that gave him his seat. After the
question was settled Mr.. Butler Went
over to Cameron and said:
Senator Cameron won this fight for
you and there is one thing [ want you
to do for me in return. | want you to
send me quart bottle of your best
Pennsylvania whiSkey."
"Pll send you BARREL" said old
Simon. as he shook hands with Pierce
Butler, land when you want anything
else call upon me and I'll do it's
He sent the barrel of whisky, and he
continued his friend as he lived. Don
Cameron inherited the friendship for
the Butler family, and when the pres
ent Senator Butler came to the senate,
it happened that there was some diff
Guilty about his seat. 1t was a party
question, but Don Cameron. so the
story goes, broke away from the Repub-
llcanS in this case and voted with the
Democrats. His vote made Buffers po
sitlon secure. and he thus paid the debt
of his father to Buffers uncle.
