The peculiarities of the General Coun
Gil we're a subject of remark yesterday
The majority of the members are bru
nettes, including the two colored Coun
cilmen from the Seventh ward. But FEY
blondes appear around the municipa
tables. The majority also sport mus
tache and chin-whiskers, the clean-shavel
numbering but few. Gray hairs are nu
merous among our municipal represen
tatives. Several homely looking mel
and a few handsome individuals can b
seen. Take it all in all, the Genera
Council presents good appearance
suggesting the presence of representa-
tive men.
