The Arizona sentinel., 1876-04-15
MISCELLANY.

Senator Bayard's favorite by. word is "'Od Jam it."
 Bill Sharon is a little scrumpled cuss, and if he had red skin might be mistaken for a dried herring.
 Bob Toombs has uot yet been gathered to his fathers. He, lik e Jeff Davis, is doing his loveliest to make Blaine tenant of the White House.
 The Danbury Neacs Washington Correspondent, Rob. Creighton, under the head of "Spicy Person als," gives racy pen picture of leading members of Congress. Here are some spicy specimens:
 The weakest man in the Senate is Davis. of West Virginia. He sits in the same spot Jeff Davis did in 1S60-61, has a lumpish face, and handles grammar with all the recklessness of unloaded shot guns.
 Sargent is the fastest talker in the Senate. His average is fully two hundred words a minute. The elder Murphy brother and Summer. the celebrated San Fran cisco reporter, are the only two stenographers that claim a dead sure thing on him.
 This talk about the Senate not being what it used to be is all non sense. It is said it is 8 Senate of rich milliOnaires, because Jones, of Gold Hill, is there, and Sharon, and Ferry. and Burnside. We'll, in 61 there were BigIer, and Lath- am, and Chandler, and Ten Eyck, all wealthy for the times.
 As to who is the homeliest man in the Senate it's nip and tuck be- tween McCreery, of Kentucky, and Christiancy, of Michigan. Mac had everything his own way except his hair before Christiancy came. McCreery and Proctor Knott are very much alike-7slo- venly and witty.
 Senator Bruce's name in full is Blanche Koran Bruce. His skin ain't so clear. But he has a fine set of nerves. One evening at the theatre, accompanied by white lady, he sat near Mrs. Creighton and myself. Between the acts Mrs. O., referring to a colored mans hat and face in the gallery said, "That Africans face is so black, and his hat so dark, that you can't tell where one begins and the other leaves off," Bruce remained firm to the last.
 In '61, Jeff Davis. Slidell, Hun ter and Douglass sat side by side, just where Sargent, COnOver and Bogy now sit. Burnside now Oc- cupies the seat thatSeward graced. The Wigfall and Bob Toombs ra- ther than contaminate themselves by sitting on the Republican side of the Chamber, although there were several unoccupied seats, had their seats arranged just back of where Thurman sits now. They both used an alarming quantity of tobacco, and five. gallon spit toons. The seat that Summer Oc- cupied when the bully Brooks struck him down, TOW contains the new Indiana Senator, McDon- ald.
 Of the seventy Senators who oc- cupied the Senate Chamberin 1861, but three remain. These are An, thony, of Rhode Island, Hamlin, of Maine, and Cameron, of Penn. sylvania. Anthony is the only one of continuous service. Let us look for the others who were there. Judah P. Benjamin became nota- ble in the Confectionery and now flourishes with large practice on the Queens Bench. Trusten Polk, of Missouri, went South and was killed. Andrew Johnson finally swung out of his circIe-finalIy smacked the sweet taste of his ambition and died without a par ty. Jefferson Davis still lives in the hallowed memory of Ander- sonville, and when Blaine has be- come President, he can depart in peace. l see no other reason for the eX-president of the Confede- racy being kept in the tortures of an unamneSted life.
