A LUNCH-TABLE INCIDENT

Father and Son—Senator and Congressman. Whyt May Be in Store for a Wife and Mother—A Sou of n.tn Voorhees Probably Going to Congress from Washington Terrtory. [From the Indianapolis Sentinel J There were five of us arouud a lunch table 5 esterday in a private room of a popular restaurant—Dan Voorhces, John E. Lamb, ‘Dick’ Bright and Albert J. Kelley. We were not a disgruntled party; why sho’d we be? Voorliees probably knows that he will succeed hijnself in the Senate: John Lamb is too magnificent a nature to frown at defeat, and it is not recorded yet, anyway that he may not by protest win the seat in Congress he so well deserves. Albert Kelly is a hopeful aspirant tor office. Dick Bright possesses the gift of diplomacy, which will ‘cast an anchor to the windward’ in his behalf whenever he ie ready for the undertaking. As for the fifth member of the group he has no aspiration for other position under the sun than that of talking through types in a manner which shall entertain a large constituency of readers. But of these affairs no word was said over our table, it was one of those social episodes that make men know each other better—from which business, politics and doll care of whatever breeding is eliminated Conversation, spiced with anecdote and repartee, flows On for an hour with the pleasantry of a brook’s babblings. At length John Lamb takes from his pocket a paper, and with an apology for the act, be gins looking the columns over tor some item lie wants to find.

‘Put down the paper, John,’ Voorhees presently commands him, and tl en says to the others: ‘Lamb is an oddity at reading a newspaper: he goes over every line.in it, including the advertisment., ‘Well, now. I’ll wager I,ve found something here that will please you,’ responded Lamb, ‘Listen,’ and he read the following: S K ATTL f . wT T., Nov. 11 —The election is still doubtful in this Territory. The chances favor Voorhees, Democrat, for Delegate to Congress. The only issue between the two parties was that of the railroad. Democrats and disaffected Reoublicans demanded the forfeiture of the land grant which lapsed over seveu years ago. They have probably won their fight. Voorhees’ estimated majority is abut 300. ‘What Voorhees is that?’ I questioned. That is my son, sir; my boy Charles,’ answered Dan with just the least glow of gladness illuminating his face and the slightest glisten of moisture in his eyes ‘»hat dispatch does me good,’ said Kelley ‘and by George, I do hope Charley has won,’ speaking with the earnestness of a boyhood friend. The hope was cordially echoed by the other three.

‘And I hope so: I want it for his mother’s sake,’ responded the father, she is wrapped up in ' harley. Why she has been as anxious over his race as over my own canvass. I have told her he could not win, the Territory being overwhelmingly Republican. He himself hatdly thought it possible, and did not accept the nomination under any impression that he could be elected. But his mother has nevertheless hoped for his success and will it* not make her happy to seehimin Congress?' There is & silent music underlying the resonant strains of the orchestra, which is often sweeter to the senses than the sounds that fall upon the ear.

There is a depth ot sentiment which words can not fathom, and which they should never attempt to voice, and just such a sentiment was uncovered in our party by the last sentence Dan Voorliees uttered. Not another word was uttered on the subject and I would have wanted to choke the one who would have added a word. I have never seen the Washington Territory Voorliees, but 1 would give something io be assured that he lias vm his race. It would thrill the heart of every friend of Indiana’s favorite Senator to reflect upon the worthy pride with which he would look upon his son seated in the other House of * ongress. But 1 should forget, nor care a snap for what e might think or feel, when contemplating the fullness of pride and joy of the wife and mother who could walk to the Capitol between and upon the arm each of a husband, Senator, and a son, Congressman. I protest against being charged with sentimentality, but I would rather stand in the campus of the Capitol and see that procession go by than to witness the ceremony of inaugurating the next President.

VERY LONG TIME BETWEEN SHAVES.

A Pennsylvania Man Whose Beard has R-mnlned Uncut Since 1860, lie Having Vnvred Not to be Shaved Until the Election oi a Democratic President. (Special DWputch to the Detroit Free Proa*.] Philadelphia, Nov 10.—A tall, broad-shouldered man apparently 55 years of age walk ed into a Seventh street barber shop this afternoQn-'tand seated himself in a chair. A" heavy black beard covered his face and his shirt front, and was finally lost to sight within the capacious recesses of his waist-cuat.

‘Hair cut sir?’ said the barber, as he began to tuck a towel around the collar of his custo raer. The old man, who had been busy with his beard during this interval, now exposed it to the astonished gaze of the shop, t reached fully three inches below the knees when it was uncoiled. He xeplied. ‘No, but I want this beard taken off clean. For twenty-four years no razor lias touched my face. This beard is the result. It was in 1860. I was as spruce a young chap as could be seen at Lancaster, and everybody knew young Joe Barstoe in thos parts. hey called me 'young Joe,’to make a difference between the old man and me. The old man was a Democrat to the back-bone, and I was with him till the split in the 1860 convention, when the Southerners put up John t*. Breckenridge and we—the North—nominated Stephen A. Douglas, i felt strong on the subject and worked for Douglas day and night. I used to be very smart in appearance in those days, but I worked so hard t had no time for prinking up. ‘One night I made a speech at a meeting in the old turnpike tavern. 1 had a week’s growth of stubble on my face, and before i had spoken a dozen words some lout sang out, ‘Go get a shave.’ Everbody laughed as they lookad at me. ‘Get a shave? says I. No razor touches m) face till 1 see a Democratic President elected.’ 1 have kept my word. Take it off and roll it carfully up in a piece of paper, barber, for I ;am going to send President ! Cleveland a chain made out of it’

A MAN WHO BET ON TAYLOR.

(Ft. Worth Correspondent Globe Democrat.) At the table of the El Paso the reporter was introduced, m his professional capacity, to a big, burly, pleasant-faced man, whose manners indicated that if he wasn’t boss of all 1 exas he had pretty much the biggest share in maintaining her prosperity. The individ-

ual m mieston was Colonel J. x. Chideshor, proprietor and operator of a stage line from Fort Worth to Fort Yuma, in Arizona Territory, in liis idea there were but two great en terprises on earth—The GlobeDemocrat and the Fort Yuma stage line. Oh, but he was a jolly kind of a chap, wholesouled, and full of vim and fiin. , Coming up from Fort Worth to Dallas he told how he made a fortune betting on General Zachariah Taylor’s election to the Presidency. He said:

‘I bet everything I had, money, house and home, and farm, pasture land, stock, wagons, harness, cloths, and everything you could think of. As long as I had credit I bet it. Then one day I bet my hat, coat, vest, pants and shoes, and 1 was five miles from home at that. But ‘ was sure Taylor would be elected. I bet on his election; on his election by different majorities; on his living to be elected, and had side bets of all sorts and shapes. In those days I used to drive round —this was in Mississippi— a band of music and a six-pounder cannon, and I tell you we had rousing times and stirring speeches. But my man had got elected, as ■ knew he would, and I calculated wh*m I figured it np-for Hid J clerk to keep track of my bets—that ‘ had won 30,000 in gold, l collected all of the bets, too. One man didn’t like to give up a mule he had bet— it was the only mule he had—and so 1 took his mule and gave him another and a better one, and to-day he writes me every month and says what a good fellow, I am. And when I knew I had won I "Kept open house for i week, and invited the whole country. I had charcoal made by the thousand bushels, and oxen cooked whole in trenches, I don’t know how long. 1 decorated every post, flag pole, chimney, _ lightning rod and tree-top in the vicinity with the Ame ican flag, and when the flag gave out i sent tor more e fired a salute of thirty three guns—one for each State then—every morning < bes or e breakfast, and again in the evening, and I guess had over 700 people at my house for a whole week and more, eating and drinking and making merry. And after I deducted all my e x p e n s e s I had about *6,00J left.

ROB RCY.

(Indianapolis News.) ‘How are you, Mr. Sheerin,’ said a stranger of the shabby genteel order, approaching the clerk of the supreme court yesterday. ‘I am a Republican,’ he continued, ,but L voted for you this time.’ ‘You did, indeed,’ observed JM r. Sheerin. ‘Yes, and I u*ed your pasters freely. I induced several of my acquaintances to scratch your opponent. I am not such a hide-bound republican that j always vote the straight ticket whoever the candidate may be.’ The request of the loan of the small sum of a dollar was imminent, when the genial cleik interrupted him with, ‘Stranger, I appreciate your independence, but there is certainly some mistake, for I was not on the ticket this year.’ The interview terminated very abruptly. The radical cor.gresses always seated contesting Republicans, and they ar« horrified .»» the thought that Tom W>o-’mV- *■ t y .Democrat-
