GEN. scHENCK.
Exactly in front OF me is a face with a
good deal of character. OF the German
cast and reminding you of DeKalb and Steu-
ben; the well balanced head set squarely
upon the shoulders hair short and light and
tinged little like the ''tawney Tiber;" upper
up shaded by a moustaehe; eyes small and
Keen, possibly indicating not so much intel
leetual breadth as acuteness; chin jntting
out from his throat at right angle; well put
together but not large-it is the Chairman OF
the Committe on Military Affairs, at whom
you are looking: Robert C. Schenck, of Ohio,
and late Major General of volunteers. He is
an emDhatic man uses short words and puts
them ia the right places when he talks; takes
short steps and sets his feet down firmly when
he walks. Impatient enough TO belong to
the irritable dengs and be a poet, when

GEN. GARFIELD.
About as close to the Speakers desk as he
can get, is another general, who, perhaps can
not quite abandon his old fashion of being in
the front Looking, just now more like
schoolmaster than a dashing officer; with hair
so bright brown that, in his boy yhood, IL must
have looked as il drawn from distaf, you
would hardly suspect that the mild eyed man,
not tall and little stout, In short-skirted
business coat, almost brief enough TO be witty,
who goes about as If lie were mending pens
for the scholars, could be James A. Garfield,
of Ohio. His eyes do pot fash swords, the
