(Il0tc wrifes of the new Senators.

The Washington correspondent OF tlis Boston
Globe writes Of the new Senator'S:
Newton Booth, of California, comes first ca the
list Tall. we'll formed, walking with brisk,
nervous tread, and head erect; turning swiftly
when necf ssary, speaking rapidly and clearly, and
| showing yOn bright, pleasant face, which, hav-
ing seen, you are eager t. scrutiniZe more close
| ~ Th- forehead high, white and full, is defined
IN arches by the growth OF bright brown hair that
covers the head With its way wealth. Beard
mouth and chin. but they brown the
| brown eyes under the straight brown brows.
There are little teltale lines about those optics
when he smiles that treacherously hint of more
years than you would imagine had passed before
them, and then in reading or writing he wears
eyeglasses which confirm your guess. They
are gold. bowed, Os course. Doesn't he come
1rom California? A bachelor with fine q pres
ence as his, with that bright, frank face and
gentle, courteous manner, be will divide social
spolls WITH Ferry OF Michigan. or carry them eff
altogether: Mr.. Ferrys wealth came by lumber;
Mr.: Booth . by traffic OF another sort
Ell. Booth IS tue handsomest, and is sur
rounded by the special halo belonging 10 every
thing from he Pacific coast, and moreover. he
Is a new llght, who may not be 80 incorrigltie in
his sloSleiess OF purpose as tho gentleman from
Michigan. Branch X. Bruce, the c1ored Mis-
sissippi Senator, rits in front of Nj. Booth. Fat
and iOrtv, though by no means fair for this ip(;i-
vidual is hardly light enough to be even a mn
lattO. His wool, however, is evidently sub
good deal OF the kiDk that the African hates,
but which fair laoies affect, and he dresses with
studious care.
To see Mr.. Bruce, fully equipped, me.swlng-
ing down the avenue, proudly conscious OF his
position, enjoying it With such infinite Zest.
b sfully smoking his expensive cigars, is
sight only second to that OF Mr.. 3 uce in close
confab with Roscoe Conkling-a conference. SO
Intimate that the two hea Is are in exceeding dan
ger OF colliding, ana you are amused to note
that Roscoe's hair is more kinky than Bruces
wool. The doorheeper brings him card the
air with which he orders that white official to
show his dusky victor to the marble room is
something sublime, while funner yet is his de- |
meanor as he ponderously climbs to the gallery !
with Dinah and Phillis and Chloe, escor.ins !
those delightful colored females to the special !
seats sacred to guests Of Senator'S. |
What Is there about pent.up Utica which is 80 |
especially favorable to Senatorial production? |
We have the singular fact that both Senators of !
the Empire State come from the same little |
inland city. Sc. ator Herman has most attract
we face. The gray hair and beard grow in SO |
line that they make q perfect frame
or the regular features. The complexion is |
lark: the forehead high and square; there is |
scarcely the slightest DETECTION between the eyes,
Or the nose is almost in straight line with the
orehead; the gray eyebrows are level with each
'ther and fancy, if his thoughts are in as regu-
ar order as his features, his conclusions must be
wonderfully correct. His figure is tall snd
md slight; he dresses with the air of a man
much too busy to attend to details, but quite
n the habit of looking like gentleman.
