THE COLORED SENATOR.
Brace CreditabIe RedresentRiIve OF his
Race.

A recent Washington letter says:
Of all the new men who have been
for the past few years in the Senate,
probably none will 90 out enjoying so
entirely the respect of their colleagues
as Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, who
was slave, and after his freedom
lived in New Orleans from whence he
went to Natchez and was subsequently
sent to the Senate. He is tall, portly
man; his skin it copper color; his
hair, that Of quadroon. He hasa good
figure, dresses well and in quiet colors,
IS always well gloved and well shOd.
He Is quiet and unObtrusive, does not
speak often, but when he does his dis
course is to the point and fnll of logic
nj reasoning. He attends. assiduously
to the needs of his constituents and
presses their claims, when just, with q
most laJIdable persistency. He has
suit of r1oms on +. street, near Twelfth,
drives a plain coupe, drawn by SUI
peril horse and driven by "a colored
coachman. He devotes his leisure
time to music, and, am told, plays
entirely classical music, in which those
who have heard him pronounce him
wonderfully proficient. His music
teacher comes three times per week in
the evening, and is sent for and re-
turned home in his coupe, evincing
regard for the comfort and a delicacy
of feeling for long suffering class of
people, which is utterly extinct iii the
hearts of his white brethren.
lie has fine plantation in Missis-
sippi, bought and paid for out of his
savings, to which, l am told, he will
take bride when his term express
His alliance, on dit, is an extremely
pretty quadroon, whose father is one
of our most respected colored citizens
The daughter is highly educated, and
wears betrothal ring of eight fine dia-
raonds. give this as l heard it. e,
Senator bruce is anxious to return
home. He is harrassed to death by
people Of his own racewho want office,
and by visitors from his section OF
country, who drop in upon him at all
hours, entirely sans ceremonie and re
main any length of time, ranging from
one to ten days, wonder how other
Senators would enjoy having their con
stituents coming at inoportune mo-
ments, bag and baggage, and turning
the sanctuary of home into the pur
gatory of clearinghouse.

The Democratic Executive
Committee of the county met four
of the seven Democratic candi-
dates for Circuit Court Clerk on
Tuesday evening for conference
ms to what should be done to de-
feat Barrett, the Republican can
didate. After a free interchange
of views the committee are of
the opinion that to call a conven-
ton or to hold a primary election
would result in having the Demo
cratic standard bearer defeated
by reason OF several independ-
ent candidates being III the field
TO divide the Democratic vote,
thus insuring the election of Bar
rett. Moreover, we believe that
no convention could make a nom
ination that would give such sat
isfaction to the party that its
candidate would be elected.
The committee being DESTROYS
of guarding the interests OF the
Democratic party and not to
serve the purpose of any particu-
lar aspirant have determined in
view of the facts presented tc
place the responsibility of this
election upon the shoulders OF
the Democratic candidates anC
their friends throughout the
county, and if defeat comes they
must bear the blame.

How to be Handsome.
QUACK.

Most people would like to be handsome
Nobody denies the great power which any
person may have who has handsome face
snd attracts you by good looks, even before
n word has been spoken. And we see all
sorts Of devices in men and women to inn
prove their looks.
Now, all cannot have good features-they
are as God made them-but almost any one
can look WELL, especially with good health.
It Is hard to give rules in a very short pace,
but in brief these will do:
Keep clean-wash freely All the skin
wants Is leave to act freely, and it takes care
of itself. It's thousands of air holes must
not be closed.
Eat regular, and sleep enough-not too
much. The stomach can no more work all
the time, night and day, than horse. 1t
must have regular work and rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks. Brush
them with soft brush, especially at night.
Go to bed with clensed teeth. OF course to
have white teeth it is needful to let tobacco
alone. All women know that. Washes for
the teeth should be very simple. Acid may
whiten the teeth, but it takes off the enamel
and Injuries them.
Sleep in a cool room, in pure air. No one
can have a clearly skin who breathes bad
air. But more than all, in order TO look
well, wake up mind and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull, sleepy
look passes away from the eyes. 1 do not
know that the brain expands, but it seems
So Think, and read, not trashy novels, but
books and papers that have something in
them.
Men say they cannot afford books, and
sometimes do not even pay for n newspaper
In that case it does them little good, they
| feel 30 mean while reading them. But men
can afford what they really choose. If all
the money spent in self-indulgence, in hurt
full indulgence, was spent in books or papers
for self-improvement, we should see change
Men wouldgro handsome, and women too
/ The soul would shine out through the eyes
4 We were not meant to be mere animals
! Let us have books and read them, and ser
mons and heed them

sometimes the pain is in The left side; the
patient is rarely abe to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain IS iclt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top OF the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are Costive, sometimes a.terna-
tive with lax the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with painful sensation OF
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains Of a
prickly sensation OF the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitudc
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few ofthem existed,
yet examination ofthe body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.

4 Valuable Book.

"The Silver Country, or The Great
 Southwest" is the title of valuable
 book, compiled by Alex D. Anderson, showing the resources and great natur- al wealth of what he terms New Spain, or Mexico and the section ceded by
 Mexico to the United States. The book is historical and statistical entirely and from all appearances and from the ire quent references to standard authori- ties, is reliable. The historical Intor- nation going back to the time of the Toltecs and giving detailed statements as to the wealth of the Aztecs at the time of the Spanish conquest, is par ticularly interesting, while the exhibit of the mineral and other resources IS well calculated 10 attract capital and enterprise to what is a rich, undevelop- ed section. The author in speaking of the book says:
 "This is a book of facts, not theo- ries. IL describes the land of silver and shows that the Southwest is pro- ducing, each year, two thirds of the silver of the whole world; but it does not attempt 10 discuss the merits of a double standard of gold and silver. It treats of railways generally and gives facts and figures showing how these great civilizers have neglected the Southwest; but it does not advocate any individual enterprise. It freely expresses its admiration for undevel- oped Mexico; but it does not join in any cry for another conquest, except so far as the future conquest may con sist of the advance of railways, a thrifty civilization in place of the inertia of the present lethargic race, of commerce and the arts of peace, all of which will stimulate the material prospects of both Republics. It does not profess to be a full review of the varied riches and attractions of the Southwest, as such 6 review would require several large vol tunes. But it does claim to be accurate, and the authorities are freely cited, in legal brief style, to confirm the ac- anracu of all statements and statistics, Nature was so profusely liberal in the endowment Of this portion of the earth's surface that facts about the riches of the Southwest furnish the writer with abundant material. and it is unnecessary to draw on the imagina- ton to make out a case"
 IL is extremely probable that Mir. | Anderson was never in the Southwest, ! 90 the book has none of the personal narrative and incident material that would make it of interest to the gen ,ral reader, but as reliable, complete md simple compilation of facts it is book of interest to the miner, capital st and others, and should be widely cad. Throughout, the interest of Ari- ona is maintained and made specially rOminent.

 ferent At Tubac man named Buck,

When prominent cit izen of that section was asked how the election passed of, he replied :: " Finest time in the world, free Camp bell whisky, fighting all around, and the biggest kind of baile running all day" From various descriptions weI have had we are sure that chromos of, the scene, if distributed with the Salt River Herald, would increase the cir culstlon of even tha, interesting paper.
