his thoughts were mostly in the West End
or at his club. where he was accustomed to
meet birds OF feather and to pass even

until he got home. usually at an ''early
hour"
The announcement that George had a
business mission at the Cape which would
take him away from London a year or
more had QuIe romantic tone to the
household at Kensington. Mrs. Aldridge
overwhelmed herself with preparations 10
complete her nephe VS. outfit He was in her
eyes and heart as dear as son. she having
no boy of her own. and she made the most
prepOsterous allowan ces for all his vagar-
les of absence. Her daughters, also-Ag-
nes and Beatrice-were in fiutter Of ex-
citement al the suddenness of the depart
ure and scarcely knew how to begin their
contributions to the studied comfort and
happiness of their cousin on what was to
them dreadful voyage. full OF peril Ag-
mes betrayed a deeper sOlicitude than her
Bis er, and in spirit of cousiDly affection
asked her father whether some one else
would not do as well at the Cape, since
Grorge's departure would deprive them of
an escort to the Academy and to concerts
and the opera.
You know. papa" she urged plead
ingly, think how dreadful il will be to
have George so long away! And he N ight
not come back ut all-there are 50 many
horrid wild beasts and sayages at that
outlandish Cape. Wha, shall we do if
ANYTHING happens to him? Do fnd some
one else. ! am sure he doesn't want to GO,
though he says he does"
As 10 the object of so much anxiety he
was seen for one brief hour at his club,
where be settled outstanding debts 10 a
considerable amount, and he came away
with few ounces less load on his con-
science. For the first time in years his
tailor was paid in full, and was mira Gu

SHERMAN AND LODGE.
On the Republican side of the cham
Der Senator Sherman, of Ohio, the
grizzled veteran of more that thirty
years, speaks smllingly to Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, the youngest
recruit. The senior poll - bald
and gray - is close behind the
junior sconce = close cropped and
curly. One is irresistibly reminded of
the mother cat teaching the juvenescent
kitten to catch mice. The veterans mo-
tons with his hands seem to let 90 of
the frightened victim while the young
senator reaches out in reply as if to
capture the escaping prize.
SENATOR Lodge gained MS hrSt political
fame by the interest he took in the pass
age of the force bill. He is forty-tbree
years old, but does not look the years
that he carries. He is lawyer by pro-
feSsion and a literary man from choice;
and unless the Democrats can manage
TO displace him with Gov. Russell. will
probably have long career in the SEN
ate, as Massachusetts is wont to give
long senatorial seasons to such public
men as she values.
The object lesson in mouse-catching
is interrupted by the advent OF Aid

with which nature has endowed them.
One mas won his spurs in fierce battles
in the crowded East The other comes
from the brand new West, having gained
all his experience of parliamentary life
during two congresses, wherein he sat
and watched and prayed-but did not
yote-as territorial delegate.
1t has been the fashion to decry thu
powers of Senator Hill, but during this
tiresome session he has several times
shown that ae possessed ability OF a
high ordel, and the courage of Napo-
leon. Senator Hill has shattered sew
eral idols during his checkered public
life. 1t remained for him to butcher
the sacred COW of senatorial courtesy
in her well guarded stall, and hung
her bloody hide in full view of her wor-
shippers. Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
was prolific of SneerS and rumbling with
suppressed volcanic fires for several
days. Finally Senator Hill-one of the
senatorial Juveniles" as he was called
by Mr.. Morgan provoked the sub
terranean monster to appear,
and showed how tame thing
senatorial cart hquake actually
was when produced in open court. Sem
ator Morgan will not be so handsome,
but he will know enough to give wide
after. Mr.. Hill is the coolest man in
debate on the floor of the senate, and,
cruel as he is cool, no sign of pas
sion or excitement is ever manifest
with him. That Satanic smile never
leaves his face w hile speaking. 1t is
not pleasant facial attitude. 1t might
be called malignant; and the tone Of his
voice is in sound singular cross be
tween the sudden clamor of an alarm
clock and the wicked roar of circular
saw that is arrested Unexpectedly by
railway spike. Mr.. Hill will meet lots
of opposition hereafter in the senate.
Probably after Mr.. Morgan's experience
no one will care to sneer at the New
York man.
