pose to upset the Newtonian system by
proving that the earth is fiat. The pro-

A PICTURE.
The Meanest Man in the Senate-One of
the Meanest i'm Maine.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
To-day, as l was coming out Of the
Senate wing Of the Capitol, [ saw drawl-
ing along in front of me a figure which
might have once been that Of man.
bu. which now lacked only the projec-
ton Of the vertebrp beyond the coccyx
bone to form the Darwinian link of con-
nection between man and the fauna.
The shoulders bent not only forward
but inward, as il the bosom had under
gone a collapse consequent upon the re-
moval of the soul from his seat. The
head was canted forward from the
spinal column, as if the being no longer
dared look mankind in the face, but per-
petually surveyed the ground to find
some hole to drop into. The thin legs
wobbled about like the hind legs Of a
sick COW, and the toes were turned out
ward nearly TO right angle with the
line of march, as il the instincts of the
mans feet, better and nobler than those
of his head, were trying to lead him off
into new and more honorable paths
than those to which he clings.
He was clad in nasty old swallow
tail coat and pants that had become
glazed and greasy. His stoyepipe hat
was old and dusty. His face was the
color Of badly tanned piece Of sole
leather, and as he walked his fingers
kept up nervous twitching as though
he were trying to grab something. In
his mouth he held the stump OF Con-
necticut seed leaf cigar price five cents.
1t is seldom that one sees such a picture
as this.
It was Hannibal Hamlin-the meanest
man in the Senate, which is saying a
great deal in few words, and one Of the
meanest men in Maine, which is exhaust
ing the vocabulary at once and forever.
