Lunch parties are in_full force, Wisely the restrictions of Lent do not apply to the innocent nuhlh.t-m of tea drinking and l'\ILmF have put a veto on the latter would have been too much for human endurance, and would undoubtedly have resulted in a wildly insurgent feminine faction. Too much stringency is sure to breed insubor- dination, but lct the unruly member be left unrestricted, and womankind will go through any amount of inconvenience without a murmur, It was a philosopher who made luncheon parties the fashion for Lent.

Worse Than a Lincoln teresting About Facts—T Want Lobby—In- Beecher—More inesnee Taylors--They an Extra Secssion, WasniNaroN, March 10.—[Correspond- ence of the Beg, |—There are not many men in the United States senate now who are in the llne of presidential promotion. The most prominent one is probably Senator Sherman, of Ohio. He is now on his way throngh the south, where, it is all renewing old and makingne: g with a view to next year's events, comes Senator Allison, of Towa, who may be nominated by the republicans in the event the nomination goes to the far west. Gen- eral Hawley, ot Conneeticut, probably comes next in the line of presidential possibilities, He has a very strong following, especially in the east and among soldiers throughout the country, Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont, is no longer spoken of for the presidency. Gon- eral Harrison, of Indinna, itis beheved by many here, has had fis presidential possibil- ties advanced by hisdeparturefrom the senate on the theory that men are never elected pres- ident while oceupying a seat in the senate. These are the republicans who may be nominated—three senators and one e ator, There is but one on the domocratic side of the chamber whose name is ever spoken in connection with the presidency— Mr. Voorhoes, of Indiana. TI'here isone man who has come to the front receutly that the country seems to have overlooked for a place on the national ticket and who, many think, will come to the fore. This is John J. Ingalls, of Kansas, president vro tempore of the senate. No man has risen more rapidly in Washington or the whole country Mr. Ingalls, and his name is peing mentioned for the viee-presidency, in the event the candidate for president on” the republican ticket is taken from the cast. Of course, if Mr. Sherman or Mr. Allison, or ex-Senator Harrison Is nominated Mv. Ingalls could not be thought o: for the second place. The most ('(m.vhnu- l'\t'l uttered against a ¢ been heard on account of the . Cleveland to sign the rive nd Representative Grosyenor, of Ohio, and Ciatrman, Willls, of Kentueky of the committee on rivers and harbors, say llw bill would have been passed over the veto |||n!nr|tv in both houses of Mr. Cleveland’s failure to in- ections to the bill 18 what ex- asperates the statesmen. Undoubtedly the most perplexing thing which confronts a congressiinn is to see a bill pocketed with impunity, and witnout any means of redress being aiforded, atter months of toil in its preparation_and years of promise to con- stituents. N n estimate the amount of promises o in that b when it that the were not X in the 3 congressional districts aifected more or less by it. More than haif of the senators and representatives addressed the committee of the two houses in favor of the pro s in- corporated in the bill. Most of them wrote hundreds ot letters and visited the war de- partment repeatedly in the interest of pro- visions finally incorporated in the measure, 1t is said that fitty niembers were clected to the Fourty-ninth congress on promise as to what they would do for navization in their districts, and then after all as passed both houses and only awalts the assent of the president, it dics an ignoble death, is stabbed in the back, and no opportunity is afforded for defense. A wore angry lot of esmen were never seen those those here on Monday, * e It is said that there were more corrupt sehemes in the Forty-ninth congress than in any congress for many-years. 1t is not hvl!' ? WAS AN ex or unusual amount of machinations among the legisla- tors, but that there were many schemes of- fering tempting opportunities for influencing legislation there can be no doubt. Rights of ways for railroads through Indian country, private claims, Isthmiancanals and measures of that character there were till no end. It is said that lawyers in this city had fees amounting toover a quarter of a_million of dollars inthe great Choctaw Indian claim, which was based on a {Il(lum(‘llt obtai the supreme court of the 1'niten State which |m(| llre and cle: 1o receive the AP pm\nlo{(hu louse cor on appropriations and failed to pa: ittle was said about the fact, but there was a strong lobby bere in the interest of the direct tax bill. It was made up of lawyers and others who expeeted to reap a harvest in collecting the money due under it to states. But it failed. The grent corporations having interests before cougress did not come ard and make a ll{. t, as would have been expected, Very little money was e pended to defeat the inter-state commerce bill, and had the railrond corporations known a month before its passage what they did a day atterward the bill would not lm\e become a law. 1 robably the most money was expended to at the anti-Mormon bill tian any other. \lnnm ran like water for awhile; but it was spent injudiciously, and had no_effect. ‘The political combinations made against the bill had wmore influence than anything else, strange to say. <! # There are people i Washington who_ be- lieve that the worry the Rev. Henry Ward Beechier had over ‘the conlirmation or his son’s appolntment to a customs collectorship in Washington territory contributed some- thing to his demise. Captain Beecher’s nom- nation, it will be_remembered, bung fire in the senate for many months, There were is financial dealings when steamboat on the sound in . und once or twice the paid visits to this city for the purpose, it was reported at the time, of cleating away the charges or inducing the resident to stand by the nomination, which \e did, in spite of tiie determination’ of the senate 10 rejeet the nomination, man is still in_the employ ment, so the influence of young man’s fal The young of the govern- the now dead preachier must have been potent. ‘Tliere is no doubt that President Cleveland held Mr. Beecher in very ligh esteem, Th was 50 notorions, it will be remembered, that, during the early part of the present ad- ministration, there was some talk about the divine going to ogland as minister to the court of St James. But My, Beecher had no taste or ambition for such a position, were it offered him. But that he wielded a powerful influence in the last campaizn for Mr. Cleve- land there can be no doubt. He not only spoke for the democratic nominee, but he did personal work for the same cause, He felt a keen interest in seeini ar. Blaine de- feated, because he did not like him in any capacity, and when once his ardor was en- listed in'any cause it grew till it was uncon- tiollable, A nuntber of times during the past six ears Mr. Beecher had visited this city, Jsually he eame in the capacity of lecturer, and occupied the pulpit at the First Congre- gational church, e drew larze nmllunwa of the best people. ~Ie always stopped at the LEbDbitt, and 1 am told that a large numberof citizens would €0 to the hotel tor meals during his stay, shnply to get to see and hear him in his mora private capacity than he appeared in when on the rostrum. When Mr. Beecher entered the dining- room he was invariably seated at a table alone, and ere ten minutes elapsed there would not be a vacant seat at the table oc- cupied by him. Instautly upon his seating himself there would be a movement abont the dining-room, Everf"bfll‘)' whoknew him, and many who did not know Lim personallv, insisted ‘upon going to his table.

So he slqud around on Robert’s flank and was rewarded by lirst seeing him take a thundering big swig out of a corpulent jug and then tuck it deftly away among the reeds, He at once slipped away and hired a darkey who lived near to run home and bring him & bucket of buttermilk and an flupti) aug about as big as Bob's.

Bob looked things unutterable at Alf, who met his —gaze with a face mantled over with an expression of happy innocence. Then Bob tried to pacify his former friends, but it was no go. A few of the old iron-clad confeder- ates still stuck to him, but the other half voted straight out for Alf, and “don’t care a dod-ding who knows it,” as one of them expressed it.
