A Story on Senator Stewart.

They are telling a good story in Washington on Mr. Stewart as a revenge for his interminable speeches. Before the night session began tne Senate had adjourned and several of them were getting their hats in the cloak room, Mr. Stewart among them, when one of his fellow Senators said: “Stewart, you remind me of a clergyman.” Mr. Stewart naturally stated, and the:* laughed and asked, “How, pray?” “Yes; you are like a certain minister who was telling a friend that he had preached two hours and a half. ‘Were you not very tired?’ said the friend, sympathetically. ‘No, na, I was as fresh as a rose; but you should have seen the congregation. ’ [Buffalo Commercial.
