the following card:

very well that (he commission is

will not inereaae their seal for

"Show me m lobbyist" was the rsqasst
at s friend who was walking through
the Capitol with the writer. This visitor
wss a reader of the newspapers, a man
of intelligence, and a believer in most of
the interesting stories be had read about
the namber, ingenuity, boldness, skill
and usefulness of the body of lobbyists
that is supposed to be almost a necessary
part of the legislative machinery.
I showed iny visitor a lobbyist He
was one of the best known of the lot
about the Capitol. He was leaning back
against the corridor wall, apposite the
entrance of the boose of representatives,
with his hands thrust into the pockets of
a pair of trousers that were so raveled
about the heels that they might be sakl
to wear whiskers without provoking the
remonstrances of the most thorough de-
tester of dang.
If this man had an overcoat it
hung np somewhere, bat the dnsty con-
dition of his rather thin frock coat,
which carried the polish on its back that
ought to have been on his very disrepu
table looking shoes, justified the cooclo-
sion that he was not finding an overcoat
necessary this winter. He was a spare
man, with a gaunt face, crossed by _
white mastaehe stained at the ends with
tobaoco juice. His shirt was not clean,
and be showed a good deal of it, hat he
wore a white tie, which only added em-
phasis to his otherwise forbidding lack
of neatness. Whea he moved away
from his place against the wall to meet
a member of congress who had come out
at the chamber apoa the call of oae of
the doorkeepers to see him, his gait
a slouching one, and he might hare 1
mistaken for any other loafer about the
hall if be had not been so much more re-
pulsive than the others.
Mj friend was disappointed. He
eould not understand when I told him
that this Baa was one of ac'VO ef
k* of lobbyists aheat the Capitol, that
he had been a member of congress, that
be was, therefore, entitled to the prtvi

The female lobbyist is, generally
•peaking, a myth. The women who
come to the Capitol as promoters of the
bills for pensions or for claims, come on
their own account, and the only skill
they exhibit it that which consists in so
perstBteady bothering the members who
have Introduced their bills for them that
they undertake to have them passed io
