senator and MRS. Pinchback.

The St. Louis Republican says: AS
far as color or gentility of appearance
is concerned, Pinchback would readily
pass for a member of the Spanish or
South American diplomatic corps, while
as a conversationalist and an entertainer
he would not reflect particle of dis
credit upon the average Of the Senate
as it is now constituted. Indeed, his
complexion is lighter by about two
shades than that of the immortal Logan,
not to carry the comparison any further.
Mrs. Pinchback is an octoroon, the eau
casian seven-eights, being part French
and part Spanish. she is about twenty
eight years old, rather under than above
the medium size of women, beautifully
moulded, has very small, prettily shaped
hands and feet, and by all odds the
finest gait and carriage when she moves
about that have seen in Washington.
She is the mother of three or four chill
dren. and her face shows the indications
of the early decline which is iuvariable
with her race and the climate she was
bred in. But she is still very handsome.
Her complexion is bright brunette, and
her skin is just trihe tinted with olive,
but perfectly transparent. Like many
CT her class under the old regime, she
received a finished education in
convent, and being very sprightly and
ambitious by nature, che has improved
upon her early culture by every means
that came in her way, until she is now
what you call rather uncommonly
vivacious, intelligent and cultivated lit
tie woman.
