Then comes Christiancy, of Michigan. IL
is an embodiment of legal opinion. There
are told concerning him stories that sound
like fables, for you cannot conceive how any
memory could ever contain such amaZ NJ
, amounts of accurate knowledge. He is thil
and slightly pale; his expression is thought

parently noting nothing, that wonderful brain
IS swiftly storing away every thought with APP.
propriate annotations to be used when occa-

, Henry l.. Dawes
sits in Chambers old chair He hasn't SC
many cubic inches of Ionderosity, but he has
much greater amount OF responsibility than
that retired Michigander ever possessed.
There VIII be no need near his chair of a huge
splttoon; there will be no odor of bad whisky
poisoning the air when he speaks; and if he
hash all the brilliant genius of Sumner, to
whose place Massachusetts has sent him, he
shows conscientious fidelity and earnest
patriotism that has already given him eigh-
teen years of successive Congressional hfe
without stain upon his character
The course he has lately taken in regard to
the Arkansas question and the abominable
Force bill has brought him new crowd of
friends | never admired him so much as
when, during those last turbulent days, Mr.
Lamar, OF Mississippi, arose to speak. The
radicals OF the Republican party, knowing
the influence Mr.. Llmar's candid truthful
ness Of statement would exert, noisily object
ed to hearing him, fairly drowning his voice.
In the midst OF the alteration Mr.. Dawes
rose, came down the aisle, and, commanding
the respectful attention he seldom misses
said " Mr. Speaker it certainly is fitting
that, IN SO vital question as this, both sides
should be fairly Heard. We have heard but
one side. We know that the gentlemen from
| Mississippi IS eminentlg qualified to tell us
the effect this proposed measure will have
among his own people, and | move that he
be allowed to proceed
1t was Of no use Mr.. Lamar was not
heard, and then when Mr.. Dawes wished to
obtain the floor himself it was prevented lest
he should give his time to Mr.. Lamar 1t is

Il, by any means, and then we cross the Rubi-
con and find among the usual Democratic
seats, Caperton from West Virginia Some
body has said that Mr. G. resembles very
much Mr. Bassett, the gentleman who is
called "Keeper of the Seals" and who makes
the imposing part of the group whenever
message to the Senate arrives. But Mr.
Capertons gray locks are not arranged
with such exquisite skill as those of
mrat:on of all beholders, for just how
Mr.. Is. draws the silver threads into such per
feet symmetry, is one of the inscrutable things
which solomon didn't enumerate. Mr.. Ca
perton is evidently listening for future action.
And now, though he ism new man, | must
stop minute at Gen. Gordon's handsome
head, bent overhis desk while he swiftly writes |

campaign. l. is too bad for the Administra-

talnly he is entitled TO the usual courtesy due |
to any gentleman and he has declared by |
oath and frequent speech his loyalty to the |
Union, his relinquishing of all reasonable in
tent. II IS too late for such taunts to affect |
him very seriously, but we, who know and |
esteem him, feel their gross injustice.
ANDY
When ANDY" came down the aisle in re-
Spouse to the call which again would create
him Senator, there was most irrepressible ap-
plause. There certainly is deal of affection
in the way the people speak of the pleasant
faced, gray-haired man. who, rising from such
humble origin, has filled SO many most i'm
portant positions. Both parties acknowl-
edSlng his power, treat him with the pro-
toundest respect, and Andy is smart enough
he shall do whatever he chooses in any emer-
gency. The great parapet where those sorcer-
ers, the gentlemen of the stenographic corps,
always SIT, hlnderS my view to-day OF the
other new faces. Doubtless you are glal for
this letter is spinning out far beyond nv
wish | will only stop long enough to tell
you that over in the reserved gallery there
sits a sweet little lady with thin lace vail
only half hiding her pretty face. The eyes
are very bright and soft, always lighted with
a charming smile; the forehead high arched
and broad, framed in with ripping waves of
soft brown hair. Always tasetully dressed, {
you will especially note the perfect glowing of
the slender hands, and her graceful way Of !,
moving them. Every who sees her
asks who she IS, and | can tell YOU ,
See now, the gallery door opens, and Gen.
Gordon comes down to claim the proud well
come of his rife. The best Of it is that $
husband and wife though they have been for
many years, they ara yet like lovers now; l
md if you want to see Mrs Gordon's eyes S
oeam, her cheek flush, and her lovely head I
ooise itself with a still prouder seit-assertive '
grace, inst pretend that you don't know who S
she is and praise the General in her hear S

What influence all these new Senator's will
nave upon future legislation remains to be I
een. There will be some sharp contests, no &
ioubt, but at present we can only very dimly a
,uess at the events whose probabilities are |
mixed even beyond those OF the weather | |
