sTArE SENATORS.
Their Personal Appearance and
characteristics.

characteristics.
"Shamus O'Brien," the Carson CORES
pendent Of the Virginia ''Stage," furnishes
that paper with the result of a close study
of the pbysiognomy Of our State Senators.
We have a curiosity TO know who "Shamus"
really is, and will wager our top-knot
against q Goldfish ball that he is q Pennsyl-
vania Dutchman
The young blonde Senator from Washoe
(Powning) is a newspaper man, very
handsome, aud possessed OF quite a little
intelligence and parliamentary knowledge.
If the duties Of q Senator and reporter
for he is both-do not conflict, he will
leave Carson with q good record for legis-
lative ability. He looks like Cochrane Of
Pennsylvania.
Senator Comins resembles Wigginton of
California, and like that gentleman Is po-
l~itically dead, he having voted a week ago
in favor OF the Chinese. His motto, no
doubt, is: 'The Chinese must stay"
Senator Sheppard resembles Christiancy
Of Michigan, who at 65 married a blonde
| clerk of the Treasury, aged 10. The Sem
ator admires the ladies. He is quite pop
| ular here, and wIthal an excellent gentle
man.
Senator Meader somewhat resembles the
Saulsburys of Delaware. This silver-haired
gentleman is quite capable and can always
be found in his seat.
Lieutenant Governor Adams resembles
John Mosby, barring the Galway slug
gers" Mr.. Adams parliamentary knowl-
edge greatly facilitates business in the
Senate.
Senator W. F. Stewart bears a striking
raoau, klapca IN tho lata Drcaidapf Tipcolp
Although she is not q pretty man, he is q
very good man."
Assemblyman Wilson looks like ex-Gov-
ernor Walker of Virginia, but is not SO
large. He is one Of our handsomest legis-
lators.
Melarkey of Humboldt, who was burned
in efigy at Winnemucca last week by his
constituents, for voting adversely on the
Chinese question, resembles Alex. Camp
bell, the Greenback M. G. from Illinois.
Lyons of White Pine, is a young and in
dustrious man, quite attentive to business,
and Of fine personal appearance. He re-
sembles the late Beverly Douglass of Va.
Morrison Of Humboldt, reminds me Of
Governor Curtin Of Pennsylvania. He is
an intelligent, careful and honest man,
and his constituency may well feel proud
Of their selection.
VI obOICy JuuHC
Davis OF Illinois. His face is the picture
of good humor, while his eye is illustra-
tive of the brightness that characterize
all his actions. He is also a careful and
attentive member, and with good judg-
ment the Speaker has placed him on some
of the most important committees. He is
not quite so heavy as Uncle George Tufiy,
but fills his seat most acceptably,
Mr.. Davies is one Of the foremost men
in the Assembly, and is respected by all
classes on account of his ability and gem
tlemanly department in dealing with his
less experienced colleagues.
Cassidy Of Eureka is also a newspaper
man, and IN my opinion by great dds the
ablest man and most adroit member of the
Senate. He is still young, g~oodlooking,
attentive and active. No man on the floor
has a more comprehensive idea of Nevada
! politics than George. He resembles Con
gresham Willis Of New York, about the
only difference between them being that
Willis is a brunette while Cassidy is a
blonde.
Assemblyman Foulkes is the counter
part Of the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash"
Fraser Of Storey, resembles the late Con-
gresham Sleicher Of Texas.
Harlow Of Storey, resembles Hurd of
Ohio, and in form and features is q hand
some man.
Lyons of Storey, is a very digniied and
active member, and bears a striking re-
semblanee to Barney Caulfield of Chicago.
John ]. Williams looks like Morrison Of
Illinois.
Allen of Lincoln, resembles Crittenden
OF New York.
Underwood appears to be a twin brother
of Fernando Wood.
Fiske of Eureka, if he wore Dundrearys,
would resemble WHITE of Kentucky.
Patton of Lincoln, in my opinion, is the
finest looking man in the Assembly, and
resembles Alex. Mcclure Of the Times"
Allen Of Storey, looks like Lafayette
Lane of Oregon.
If Mayhugh's chin was sharper and his
bones relieved of a quantity Of flesh, he
could pass for Alex. Stephens.
Speaker Castor, resembles Fuller of In
diana.
Powell Of storey, bears some resem-
blance to ''Sunset" Cox, but lacks the
brilliancy and wit of the distinguished
New Yorker.
