New York has well averaged pair Of
Senators. Hill is quite poor in comparison

money in the empire state. Mr.. Hill is,
however, good lawyer. and he has large

From the Detroit Free Press.
She had married young naval officer,
and was so pleased over it that she had
gone with him into little house on a side
street and was running it herself.
Have you any beans?" she inquired Of
the grocers clerk during the first week of
her incumbency.
DO you wish navy beans?" he asked po-
litely.
"Oh, certainly she twittered How
clever of you to guess we weren't army
people!"
And the clerk almost choked on the ball

they chose Mr.. Proctor as their president,
which position he still holds. Under his
clever management the quarrieS have been
turned into veritable gold mines, and the
bank accounts of both the shareholders
and Senator Proctor have increased until
the latter Is now one Of the richest men
in the New England delegation in Con-
gress.
Senator Hale has wealth. though most of
his financial fame Is reflected from the
fortune of his wife, the daughter of the
late Zach Chandler of Michigan. Mrs.
Chambers home at the corner of 10th and
X streets is also the home of Senator Hale.
The latest New England man to join the
ranks of the men of affluence is Senator
AldIich of Rhode Island, who has, during
the past year or two reached the million
money in street railroads In Providence,
and is now the president of the CONSOLE
dated lines of that city, His acquisition Of
great means has not yet made any appre-
ciabe difference in his mode of life.
The present prospect is that one Of the
millionaires now sitting in the Senate may
be retired after the 4th of March. This
is Senator Washburn of Minnesota whose
candidacy for reelection is being holly
contested by Gov. Nelson. Political guess
ers here say that Washburn will probably
be defeated. though there is no certainty
about politics, anyhow. Mr.. Washburn is
classed as one of the richest men on the
republican side. He has made great sums
In the manufacture Of flour, and. accord
ing to the Congressional Directory, has in
terests in the Minneapolis Water Power
Company, the Minneapolis and ST. Louis
Railway Company and the Sault Railway
Company.
A neighbor of Mr.. Washburn, geographi-
cally, is Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin. He
has, up to a recent time, been classed as
man of millions, but the panic of 1893
has. it is understood, reduced his invest
mentS.
The two Nevada Senators, Jones and
Stewart, have also had frequent reverses,
and their financial records would some
what resemble the fluctuations of an auto
matte barometer. At present, both are
wealthy, and are to be classed among the
millionaires. 1t is thought that Senator
Jones, who has transferred many of his
interests to New York. has now passed the
danger point, and will probably retain his
wealth throughout the remainder of his
life.

I stood today upon the ridge
Where once the blue brigades were maSseds
And gazed across the plain below
Ger which the charging column pc ssed-
That long, low line of gray, tipt,
Which still its onward mo, ement kept
Until it reached the sandy slope
BY twice a hundred cannon swept.
And saunteri 1g downward, somewhat sad.
Among the stones no longer stained,
l halted at little mound
That only the front rini. had gained
A little mound left all alone,
UnmaI ked by flower or cypress wreath,
To show that some rcSretfnl heart
RI nembersu him who slept beneath.
But halfway hidden by the grass,
l found Il broken barrel stave-
The hcad-board which some foeman's hand
Had kindly placed above his grave;
And side traced these words,
In letters 1 could scarce divine:
"A rebel name unknown, who fell
First in the foremost line
No n.ore-and yet what memories
Were Weakened by that scanty plrasel
Again / heard the rallying shout,
Again l saw the ranks ablaze;
Once more the air with smoke was thick,
The earth below with blood was wet.
Where. like two serpents, 1.-the and fierce,
The wrestling squadrols met.
The field was bare; no grnning skulls
Cleaned CHASTITY In the clear noontide,
For hill not far away,
The dead We're gathered side by side.
Yet none had touched the little mound;
Mayhap by chance or by design.
They left him where death struck him down,
First in the foremost line
And they did well-there let him rest;
A filter spot there could not be.
No monument upon the earth,
No sepulcher within the sea,
Could match the tomb that Nature gives
The shroud she spreads Ger his remains,
The green turf kissed by summer suns
And washed by summer rains.
Some comrade, battle-scarred and grim,
When years on years Lave passed away,
Telling his children grouped around
The story Of that awful day,
May not forget to speak of one
Whose nameless grave is glorys shrine,
The gallant heart that beat its last
First in the foremost line
perchance for him a mothers soul
Sought God upon that bitter night.
When first the dirgeful breezes bore
Disastrous tidings from the fight:
And in the autumn twilight gray
Beike sad eyes, in fearful strain,
GaZed Northward very wistfully
For one that did not come again.
Perchance for him some fresh young life
Dropped waary from week to week.
Struggling against the gEawing grief
That eat the roses in her check;
Till plying death, with gentle touch.
Set sleep eternal in her face,
And, sorrowiEg for the roses gone,
Planted his lilies in their place.
Gods peace be with thee in thy rest,
Lone dwellnr in a strangers land;
And may the mold above thy breast
Lie lighter than sisters hand
On other brows let Fame bestow
Her fadeless wreath of laurel-twine;
Enough for thee thy epitaph:
Dead in the foremost liDe!"

considerable attention to his garments.
His crisp, curly hair, dark red in color, is
his especial pride, and Dame Gossip whis-
pers that a valet is engaged for the par
ticular care of this portion of the Senators
personal endowment. However that may
be. Mr.. Brice's hair Is always beautifully
curled and arranged. The Senator mas a
peculiar habit that is characteristic of his
nervous temperament. He Is obliged to
wear eyeglasses in order to read easily,
and these hang from his coat lapel by a
Icing cord. AS soon as the Senator settles
himself in his seat he unhOUkS the glasses
ard. with slight circular motion, swings
them round and round until they wind up
on his forefinger. Then he reverseS the
motion, and so unwnds the glasses. This
process ne repeats over and over, to the
danger of the noses of those who may be
talking to him.
Pennsylvania also has two senatorial
representatives who have great wealth,
quired his money through shrewd specula-
tions, and is ranked quite high among the
men of affiuence in the Senate, though he
may not have million at present. He Is
unos tentatious and is devoted rather to
politics than to finance. His colleague
Don Cameron, is probably the only man in
the Senate who inherited his wealth. He
was first clerk. then cashier. and finally
president of the Middletown National
Bank, and the latter position he still holds.
He was president of the Northern Central
road from 1868 to 1874, when it was bought
by the "Pennsy." The bulk of his wealth
came to him from his father, the late
Simon Cameron. This singular exception

gnsh house of lords, which is filled with
hereditary millionares.

A peculiar speech at the opening OF the
conference was a caution by Bishop Dun
can to those delegates who chew tobacco
not to expectorate on the floor or the hand
some new carpet, which has recently been
put down. He told them that If they must
chew tobacco to go outside, and they would
find a nice new curbstone and plenty Of
fresh sand to expectorate upon, or they
could bring their cuspidors. and in case OF
an emergency they could use their hats.
The Rev. J. p. Depars put in good wcrd
