A Token of Esteem.

Senator Frye who on Monday, Mar. /
retired from the office of president pro
tenn of the Senate which place he had so
acceptably filled since the death of Vice
President Hobart was presented, the
Saturday previous with magnificent
loving cup. The presentation was made
by Senator Hoar who assured Mr.. Frye
that it was a token of affection inspired
by the course he had pursued as pre-
siding officer. The suggestion OF the
presentation came from the Democratic
side of the Senate, from political op-
ponent Of Senator Frye.
Mr.. FRYE responded with voice full
of emotion, saying that the cup of IL
self he considered beautiful, but the
fact the presentation was inspired by
affection aud appreciation rendered 1t a
thousand times more beautiful.

A certain man who was once a
prominent Kentucky politician was
more a demagogue than a statesman.
He was, according to Short Stories, in
the habit Of Boosting that his father
was cooper in an obscure town In

people" and didn't belong to the "kid
gloved aristocracy."
The generals" great failing being
his fondness for liquor, it will surprise
no one to be told that the more he drank
the more loudly he detained his
political sentiments and the prouder
of being the son of cooper he became.
During a political campaign, where his
opponent was the southern orator, Tom
Marshall, he had been unusually noisy
and offensive in his boasting regarding
his obscure origin. In replying, Mar
shall said, looking hard at the general:
Fellow citizens, my opponents
father may have been very good

gentlemen, that he put a mighty poor
