> Conspicuous, among the gentlemen
trosn tho South Ia John B. Gordon of
Atlanta. He was woansled eight times
In Coafetierate battles, and hears the
mark Of scar upon his check. He Is
straight black hair, blue eyes, and q
not wholly patrician nose. His col
league, asBen" HIN, looks less like
soldier and moro like a scholar. He ia
tall and bent In the shoulders, and
wanders about with his hands behind
him In . dreamy abstracted way. His
hair II sliRhtly tlneed with gray, his
eyes are blue, and he Ii much given to
meditation at dinner and At other In
OppOr<une times. His speeches are
good, his eyes clear in their outlook,
and the prevailing expression of the
man, both In person and colntcnance,
is one of sadness. s'"H i's.,f7

Of Mississippi, is a wrinkle1, pallid
looking man, with long, smooth, thin
black locks, aud 4 worried expression

several things. F'iFst, for being q prince
Of rebels, and afterwards one of the

Among the most conspicuous for
form and face Is Senator E''f+''"
!." DAVID DAVIS or ILLINOIS.
Weighing over 100 pouncs, he has to
have special chair built for his benefit.
But were his figure smaller, his head
and face would command attention.
The most intimate friend OF Abraham
Lincoln, u certain reverence clings to
his name, which Is well sustained by
his presence. His head Is large, his
face strong, and the whole expression
Of his countenNnce benignant. The
silken softness of his hair Is particular
ly noticeable, in spite OF his Immense
size, Indicating, as 1t does, fineness of
temperament. II the other Senators
were troubled with his talent for LISTEN
ing, the Senate would indeed be what
It now often is not, u truly judicial body.
Not Senator opens his mouth, but
the ex-Justice and great Senator ap-
proaches as near as possible, In order
to catch every word that falls from his
lips. An n seat of ample proportions
had to be built especially for him, this
sometimes causes some Inconvenience.
Yesterday, as Senator MRxey of Texas
was speaking, Judge Davis approached
and took u seat near him. The chair,
rebelling ut the unusual weight, softly

JAMES q. BLAINE,
Of Maine, though among tho new SEN
ators, 1t seems superfiuOus to describe,
40 familiar Is his face and figure. StHI,
In a few years, his appearance has
greatly changed. He has grown bulky,
his hair has grown gray, and the fatal
water sacks OF tho sleepless have filed
about his eyer. In stature and presence
he IL still one OF tho most remarkable
men Of the Senate. In the same num-
her Of years he has grown old even
| more than Conkiing. .t W'-....
.- GEORGE r. HOAR, a','
| Of Concord, 40 long familiar In the
House, presents a new face to tho SEN
ate. In Its contour, c0l0Fing and ex-
preston 1t In strongly like that Of
Horace Greeley, and even tho toner of
his voice recall to his friends the pres
ence of the great journalist. Since be-
coming II Senator Mr.. Hoar has i'm
proved in presence and In manner. He
| is In person more serene, and in speech
| more afiable. He IL clear-hs,atled, and
nearly always in the van Of advanced
ideas. He il likely to make II mark in
the Senate Of which Massachusetts even
| need not be ashamed.
STANLEY MATTHEW'S,
the only Senator who Is supposed to be
able to whisper in the Presidential ear
He is not so imposing looking a mortal
AS COnkliDg, who won the high insignia
last year Of whisperer at the White
House, but IL quite the average Ohioan.
His extremely sanguiue temperament
glows in the red yellow hair and beard,
in his beaming blue eyes and blooming
checks. He looks like younger
Brigham Young. That Is, he looks
like tho pictures OF Brigham Young.

accuse this gentleman Of resembling
