Senator Edmunds’ Weakness.

“Senator Edmunds is passionately addicted to onions,” said a lady who goes camping with him every season. “His craze for the pungent, pestiferous vegetable is simply awful—l never saw anything like it. When he starts off for his annual holiday in the woods he has an enormous supply of onions among the stores provided for the trip, and then every farmhouse he comes to he wants to stop, and buy a few more onions, until every one feels as though he belonged to an onion caravan. While he is in camp his morning meal is an onion and a graham crackej; for his luncheon he takes a graham sandwich and an onion; his dinner consists of meat and onions.” In his inordinate appetite for onions may be found an explanation of the dark and mysterious hints as to* the personal habits of Senator Edmunds, which formed the basis of the Sun’s opposition to him as a possible Bepublican nominee for President.— New York Graphic.
