T/ho cnato icstauiant is a very difler- eut looking place from that at the house end of tlio capitol. Tiioio is a free-for- all aliuospberc about the repiesont- ativcs' dining loom , while a formality pervadcb the beiuite lestamant. The monotony of the lunch hours is now and then bioken b > a swai thy waiter jelling .it the top of his IUIIJ B : "One iVeent ( ijiar for Senator Hrico and two 5-cont cijrais for Senator Berry , of Ark.uibin. " li.ick of the man who stands , behind the bar and a little to the right as be faces v on is the rot it ing loom. Tlio senators diuo in thoie in exclusive and hearty fashion , according to \Vashinfiton correspondent of the Washington Post. Mr. Palmer of Illinois "a blua" , hearty , Kiay haired- man ( f 70 jeai-H , " la an advocate of the beefsteak. Tlieieisa huskincBs in his tlnoat which speaks of rich ami dripping gravies. A French frj potato inaii , we will say , a hearty d1 inker , Mr. Palmer is a man of the people ple and bis food is as > plain as that of the farmer wliom lie icpiesonts. A dif- feient man in the mutter of fcedinj ; , an educated man , as the icstauiant keeper csteimis him , a man with the. l-'ronuli terms of the menu uotm the tip of his lon uo is Senator Mandeison of No- biaska. JFo is us choice in the selection of tno morsels which he swallows as the bud of paiadiso , which ib supposed to live upon the dew which rests in the cup of the South American How or. No whisky for Senator Mandorson , nor any thing &o crude as biandj , but tlio heav iest and mellowest of French witiQb are his delight. C'hablis , the products of the i icli slopeh of Burgundy , Chateau Yqiiem , : ucall in liifaiopcitory. A very delicate outer is Senator Mandor- soii. a man who insists upon piompt attendance , a man upon the host of terms with all tlie w.iitciM in the lesatrant. lie and Senator 1'aimer aie lopresenta- tivcrt of the opposite typos of catort-lto bo found in the senate hostelry. Theie are otliois who are constant patrons of tlie establishment whoso man ner and method of dining excite little or noiemaik.

One of thu most barefaced and at thu daino time one of the best and most alluring olTeis , was made by a Hhrowd Cincinnati man some eight years ago. Mo was n picture ft inner by tunic , but could not make ends mt-ut b working at the bench. Tor weeks ho tried to think of some plan wheioby ho could make monotv without vvoiking for it. He llnnlly struck one. It was at the time that a prottv litho graph , iu several tints entitled "Tho Hock of Ages , " was being liboially sold throughout the country for 'JO. The colois , of which theio woitv-four , wore delicately and gracefully blended. The Cincinnati man &aw this picco of work and boon ovohed his scheme. He bent oliculars broadcast throughout the countiy to the oflect that ho had copies of "The Rock of Aires" in twelve colors and would Hell single copies for the 10- markably low price of $3.50 , including a lieav'i frame. Thoio was a rush all over the country to buy. In.n month's time chaos reigned in the man's small atore. Iiu found it impossible to 1111 his 01 ileus. Ho bad to take in a partner and movu to morn commodious quarters. When the pictino was sent it was seen that it was oulj in one color , goneially black. An explanatory letter accompanied the box. In if , the \\11 > Cincinnati man dwelt on the beauties of his picture. He trusted that the color would suit , but if it didn't , lib ho liutl the same picture in cloven other colors , It might bo exchanged for a green orcllovv ono bj the payment of e\.pics .igo and a hinall sum to cov'or fho expense of packing. The man vvjjo thought out this scheme carried it on for several years. It was linullj brought up with a sharp turn by tlio postolllco ollicials , but not before ho had accumulated a fortune of nearly $1,000,000. , lie is now living quietly in Cincinnati. Some tineo ycais ago an alluring bait was thrown out by a man named Watts of San Francisco. Watts \v.is a well known man about town who had quickly squandered an in- hutitaucc left him by an old aunt Ho hail no business application. It was necessary for him to have money , and loth of it. TIe finally ovohed a scheme , of which thu needle game is the ( Hit- glow th.

Watts ran the business eighteen montliH before some of the victims got after him and forced him to discontinue it. But oven in that short time he ac cumulated a fortune that kept him mov ing in the Hvvift oirclo that ho adorned foi- live ycuiH aftnrwaidH. Ho finally died in the aluoholio ward of the San Bernardino hospital. 1'atont medicine fakirs have played a prominent pai t in thcho ingenious hchemus to got money out of thu mi sophisticated. One of the most success fill in this class was a f'hlcagoan by thu name 01 Wiling. He Dually got hold of what ho thought wan a monemaker. . It was a liquid for increasing Hush. One bottle was supposed to add twenty pounds at least to the fiamo men of 'a skeleton. Mo advertised certain articles that bo did not have in stock. One was a mlxturu called "krottino , " which , ho declared would take the curl out of a nt-gio's hair. 1 fo put what bo thought was a pro- hlbltlvo price of $5 a bottle on it. .Money fairly poured in fiom all parts of thu south. Ho then saw that the "kmttlno" fraud was hotter than the fattening liquid. But It was noccssaiy to got up some mix- line to hum ! to the poor people who had blindlv bout on their 11101103. lie called in the services of a drug cloik who getup up boino perfumed , harmless mixture that was made by the hogshead.
