StgnOrs.


StgnOrs.
Washington Letter.
Recent letters from South Corolina announce
the rapid recovery of Governor Hampton and
his intention of visiting Washington as soon as
he is able to travel. He will bring with him
his daughter, who is described as possessing
unusual beau ty, and whose advent in society
here is expected to be quite sensation. She
is about twenty years old, and just from school
The Governor himself is a large, we'll framed
man, with face that is somewhat striking in
its tout ensemble. il that is proper thing to
say; but his features are irregular and his
skin is coarse. When he comes here South
Carolina will be represented by better looking
men in the Senate than any other State, as
Hamburg Butler is very handsome man. He
has ugly eyes, however-cold, cruel and
snaky.
The Senate can stand good many handsome
men without the floor being crowded with them
Leaving Conkling outof the question, glance
at the Senate will show many good-looking men
dignifed, welldressed, bald-headed, high ssdome
OF thought well6lled stomach, but very
few with pretentions of beauty.
You often see Burnside's form and face in
the fashion-plates in tailor stores, alongside
OF the Marquis of Lorne, and he is a man of
lne appearance. He is the best dressed man
IN the Senate, as Clarkson Potter is the best
dressed man in the House, only Potter looks
like swell-a cockney-and Burnside looks
ike an Empernr. No man in the Senate looks
wiser than Burnside. No man was ever so wise
as he looks; but appearances are often decep-
tive.
Ferry, Allison, Booth, Dorsey, Jones of Ne
vada, Eustis Don Cameron, Spencer, Window
he younger men in the Senate-are good look
g;t hat is they are up to the standard Of man
eauty, such as you find among the busire
men in New York and Chicago.
Bayard, Morrill,, of Vermont, Stanley Matt
hews, Whyte of Maryland, Cameron of Wiscon-
sin, and some other Of the older looking Sena-
tors. have the appearance of ability and pro-
funditY7 and may be said to look impressive.
Ingalls, looks Ikea college professor.
Gordon looks like a soldier, with a great
saber-scar on his cheek.
Lamar looks like man with great remorse.
His head bent down, his hair uncut, and his
hand trembles.
Christiancy's appearance suggests the same
idea. He is growing old very fast, and his
habit OF pacing the floor behind the Senator 8
chairs, with his hands clasped under his coat
tails, is more and more noticeable. They. say
there is trouble on the old mans mind.
Blaine's appearance is familiar, only he
hasn't black hair left.
Hamlin looks like an old New England par
son, and Kirkwood like an old-fashioned coun-
try doctor.
Edmunds likeness to the picture of St. Jer-
ONE is we'll known
Morrill, looks like Charles Sumner, except
his frame is not so massive nor his bearing S O
noble. -
McCreery of Kentucky looks like Mr.. Pick
wick.
Eaton of Connecticut like Uncle Pumble-
chook in a.'Great Expectations" l never see
Eaton talking to rage without thinking of
Pumblechook and Pip, and expecting to hear
him turning to Thurman, who is his seat-mate.

this boy
Garland IF Arkansas looks like one of the
priests in Viberts pictures.
Ben Hill looks like Joseph Medill.
Rollins of New Hampshire is the smallest
man IN the Senate; Davis Of Illinois the largest,
Ferry has the most hair on his head, and Cam
eron of Wisconsin the least. Grover and Jones
OF Florida are the tallest men. Hamln and
Mer1imon habitually wear swallow-tail coats,
and Mcdonald wears an old-fashioned cloak.
like the toga of Roman Senator.
