The senate's Hole In the Wall.
When the nineteenth century was as
yet only half grown, senators applied
customarily for their toddies at the so
called Hole In the Wall, a small circu-
lar room just off the postofice Of the up
per house. The latter body, as will be
remembered, then occupied what is
now the chamber of the supreme court,
and the postofiice was across the main
corridor Of the building on the same
floor When wearer Of the toga
found himself In need Of "shifter," he
had only to cross over to the mails
department and pass through 1t to
the little circular room aforesaid,
which was about the size of pantry.
The Hole In the Wall was the first
senate restaurant, and the bill Of fare
for edibles was short, though to the
point. There were ham, guaranteed to
have been smoked for six months, a
veritable sublimatlon of the pork prod
uct; likewise corned beef and bread
and cheese, but very little else. They
served, however, as an accompaniment
for the fluids, ana when the Hole was
crowded. rs was often the case. SEN
ators ate their sandwiches outside, In

mainly on one given him by Thomas
Ewing, Sherman's brother-in-law. He
found the general and presented
Ewings letter. The general opened
It somewhat impatiently, read & few
lines, folded it and said:'
"Ah. you come from Ewing, and you
desire to have all the latest news,
the next probable move Of our army,
eh? Well, there's train leaving this
town for Cincinnati at 2 o'clock.

AIxaxa Eace the Engine,

In his prime the late Mr.. John Cook.
the great tourist agent, was man Of
iron frame. But when years of rail-
way travelling, which averaged annual.
Iy some 10000 miles, produced certain
alarming symptoms, he made a dis
covery that may be worth giving to
the public. He found that the threat.
ened trouble. something spinal, dis.
appeared when ne no longer sat with
his back TO the engine. He always
thereafter faced it, and that the prin-.
cipla is sound will be borne out by
others whom he advised to de the

much railway travelling will be wise to
sit facing the horses"

In Russia everything IL large and

immense village, and everything In u
Is built broad, not high, because there
IN 80 much space to cover. The public
squares. uppaved and surrounded by
little rim of cobbles, are as big ai
meadows. The arcades and passages
with their cellars below, their shops
above, their glass roofs, are 80 enots
nous that they could hold the Passage
des Panoramas and the Burlington
Arcade and the galleries at Milan with
out filling more than n corner of them.
Colors shrek and fame; the Mus,

by contrast; red is completed either by
another red or by a bright blue. There
are no shades, no reticences, no mod
ulations. The restaurants are filled
with the din Of vast mechanical or.
gans, with drums and cymbals; a great
bell clashes against chain on all the
trans to clear the road; the music
which one hears Is feroclty of brass.
The masons who build the houses
build in top boots, red shirts and pinh
trousers; the houses are painted red

to suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across field

After assuring himself that his OBJ
