Thomas ID. Hendricks at his residence,
near indianapolis, writes the New
York Sun, that ..a3ttler the battered hat
OF the genus plug, species Of 1867, you
notice IL face that is remarkable rather
than commonplace. 1t is a face that
would cause more than Il parting
glance. Intelligence and hcnevolence
are stamped upon it, and under shat
dome of thought throhs the greatest
brain among the Democratic politicians
OF to-day The distinguished eN-Sen-
ator lives Il mile and a half south of In
uianapolis. which no reaches every
evening after business, by carriage.
Laura says:
"ifiS wife nearly always comes for
him. Her carriage is a large family
turnout Of the plaincSt and richest de-
Scription. 1t is drawn byn Jersey span
of superb horses. They are graceful,
high-stepping, and gay. with trim legs,
dainty feet, flowing names and tails,
and hair rs short as if il had been clip
