ers. He is an attractive speaker. but IS
not one to awaken grea. enthusiasm.
while be may and does appeal to admi-
ration-perhaps because he always
seems TO be speaking from the head and
never from the heart. 1t is said that
he seldom extemporizes, invariably
committing to memory every word he
utters. To this work he brings rare
skill, and apparently is able TO forecast
the probable speeches OF his opponents
and to prepare answers for them, so
that he appears TO the hearer as most
capable controversislist. The defects OF
an early education, that was by no
means finished, still cling to him, and
in 1872 he rounded rhetorical period
with "the harbor of Madrid" His
speech making power is the accomplish
ment OF life OF study in that direction.
At % he is said to have been able to re-
peat from memory-which is q prodi'
vious faculty with thirds OF
Burke's speeches and fair portion OF
Grattan's; and in 1869, while riding in a
Pullman car to the Pacific, he entertain.

dropping OF word.
His industry is marvellous, and II Ia said
that from his youth he has worked more

HIS PERSONAL APPEARANCE.
Many people 90 to the Senate every
day for little else than to see Senator
Conklipg, and their curiosity does not
get its edge very disappointingly turned,
either, when they do see him, for he is
a man quite taking look at. His two
most distinguishing attributes are thin
legs and broad shoulders; he tapers
down and looks ike an inverted pyramid
which is SAID TO be the highest type OF
manly physique. Then his head is also
broad at the top, and tapers down TO the
end OF his pointe whiskers-which re.
sembles small inverted pyramid, and
makes him look like two OF them, one
on top OF the other. He is over six feet
high, slender and blonde-sort OF straw.
berry blonde but his hair and beard
have become greatly streaked with white.
His head is bald in top, aud there
are two hummocks OF hair,
one over each ear, which
add breadth to his already broad, white
forehead. His face is pale, his eyes gray
almost blue-and his nose pointed
with tendency to touch his upper lip,
though 1t looks not quite so much that
way as PUCK" and Mast take pains to
draft it. The expression OF his counte.
nance indicates long-headedness and
intellectually. He is slow and SELF
assured in his movements, deliberate III
his speech, inclined to quiet humor
without much laugh about it, and pleas.
ant and dignifed in manner toward
callers. He wears an ordinary black
irock coat, with cardinal handkerchief
sticking out OF the breast pocket; gray
pants, which fit his slender legs rather
closely and small thin shoes, altogether
he is MISUNDERSTANDING individual.
