When you have reached the floor
called the crypt, YOU will turn to

Slight irtimation of declining wears,

would be quite irrevereGt aE4 qn
feeling who would not believe that
Poland was a kindly and even a
chivslrous old gentleman. On one
side of Poland is Judge Merrick OF
MARYLAND, brother Of Dick Mcrrick.
The Judge has not Dicks mobility
but is more sedato, cold, a%rjstocra,-
ic, and judicial. Somehow or Other
Ills nan has impressed everybody
rs the mGst qn1incking and the
%truest member Of the committee.

On the opposite sides of the tab
$ are seen the two contesting parties
e Henry S. McConb, sill alone, on I'll

McComb has a rosy complexion
blue eyes, light silken hair, curtin
a little over his large, round, bal,
d ISL head ; and there is that trihin
I excess OF flesh which indicates II

none. The attempt to e0mpa
