A Senator’s Dinner.

Did you ever note the character of orders which men who have been accustomed to good eating all their lives give ? If not, and you have the opportunity, it might be entertaining for you to do so. I believe that the Senator who lias eaten more good dinners in the last sixteen years than any of his colleagues is Mr. Jones, of Nevada. Mr. Jones is a bon vivant. While a man of great intellectuality, he does not despise the good things of this life, and is an acknowledged connoisseur in all that relates to the table. I saw him dining at Chamberlain’s the other evening, and I was struck with the simplicity and yet at the same time the good judgment which he displayed. As near as lean remember, his menu was creme of asparagus soup, broiled shad, spring chicken fried Maryland style, a lettuce and tomato salad and coffee. Was not that a dinner fit for any man to enjoy? If poor, dear Uncle Sam W 7 ard' heard that order he turned over inn his grave and was content.— Washington Post.
