"JoSEYH HAMILTON.

A man OF weight in the Senate is Jone.
S. Hamilton, OF jackson. He doesn't make
speeches, nor does he draft bills and resolu-
lions. He weighs It's pounds, has a plump,
warm hand and musical laugh. He hasn't
politics enough to hurt him. Indeed, his
record has been such as to make his party
connections rather uncertain. He came OF
an old Wing family, was Deputy Auditor
under Gibbs in cnrpet.bag times, and now
he is elassed as Democrat, but that isn't
what put him in the Senate. Far and wide
he is known to all 'the boys" and they like
him. "Joney" Hamilton they call him.
lie has had the lease of the Penitentiary
for years, paying the State $4,000 annual
ly and feeding, clothing and guarding the
convicts for their labor. In the last cam
paign the point was raised against him
that he was a railroad man. "Of course
am" he replied; Il and my friends up
yonder (the convicts) built sixty five miles
of railroad last year. Wen build some
hundreds of miles before we get through, if
we're let alone"
j. G. Hamilton, OF Durant, is not so
widely known as "Joney," but he is re-
garded as one of the strong men of the
Senate.
A leader of the young progressive ele-
ment is Senator L. I. Sykes, a lawyer of
Columbus.
There is to be said in general way OF
the upper branch of the Mississippi Lsgis-
lature: The young mon have the lead.
The usual order of things is reversed. II
is customary to find the staid, conservative
al -, Al,a Ah,A 81
preponderates in the House of Representa-.
tives, and it is in the eastern chamber of the
Capitol that the strong champion of rail
roads, of immigration, Of laws for the pro
motion of good order and morality are to
be found. In short, the hopes of those
who look forward to "a new Mississippi
are centered in the Senatorial wing of the
present Assembly.

He makes few speeches, but as q
oonversstionahst he will maintain his own
in any group Of Senators. Luse's profes-
sion is that of the law, and it was only by
one of those slips in a convention which
seem so strange afterward that he missed

Senate. He is in bad health, and it is
doubtful If he viii do much active service

The third Republican Senator, for OF
course Gayles counts as one, is II. r. JEFF

man and is the son of Congressman JEFF

THE coLoRED SENATOR.

G. W. Gayles enjoys the distinction Of
being the only negro Senator, and he has
been the solitary representative of his race
in that body for several years. His home
is in Bolivar county. He might almost be
called q professional legislator, for he came
h re in 1872 as "a member Of the lower
house, and kept on coming in spite of
shotgun policy and Yazoo plan. When
Chalmers first election to Congress left a
vacancy in the State Senator Gayles got il,
AMI since then his place has been in this
body. He represents the Fusion idea from
its inception, the division of offices be-
tween the whites and the blacks. When
the bonds of Sheriffs and two or three
other officers were made so high that ne
groes couldn't give them there was nothing
to do and maintain peace but divide the
honors and let negroes go to the Legisla-
ture and fill minor Offices while the white
took the positions of financial responsible
ity. The Fusion movement was born.
Gayles was one of the first opponents Of
it. He is quiet, dignifed looking negro,
with some Caucasian blood. His retiring
manners secure for him certain degree of
consideration from the other Senators, and
there is no manifest feeling that his
presence is regarded as an intru-
sion. When Chalmers moved over
into another Congressional district, by
telegraph, Gayles conceived the idei that
he ought to run for Congress. He went
down to Greenville and preached the sub
iect to some of the leading colored men.
Don't make a fool of yourself, Gayles,"
they said. IF we send man to Congress
it must be one who will be credit to our
race and do us some good by his intellect
ual force. You do very well as State Sen
ator, but you are not the man for Con-
gress." Gsyles took the advice without
argument and went home. Nobody ever
heard of his Congressional aspirations
again,

A BOY SOLDIER.

He went into the Confederacy with a
Tennessee regiment when he was only 10
Years old, accompanying an Older brother
The latter was desperately wounded in q
oattle and fell in an out-of-the-way place.
Both armies moved on, and the field of
lead was deserted after hasty gathering
up o. the wounded, in which Owen 8
overlooked. The younger remained wi h
...s Deo.ner. For twenty days and nights
le kept up his vigil, only leaving long
enough to forage close by for the where
withal to keep body and soul together. In
cornfeld he CLEANED few kernels and
pounded them down to coarse meal. In
lead soldiers haversack he found some
ieces of hard tack over which the owners
blood had spattered. He dug out the stat .
ma ate THESE crackers. Finally he shot a
steer that had wandered into the vicinity,
and on this he and his brother lived until
they were found and the wounded man was
taken to hospital. Looking back on
that field" says Senator Owen now, sit
seems to me there are some places the
tlmighty intended for nothing else than
backgrounds. That, az l call to mind
the lste and desolation, must have been
one OF them"
S nator Samuel Powell, of fernando, is a
mau of good presence and clear speaker.
He ranks well in his profession and has
been Circuit Judge. He is known rather
as a lawyer than politician.

four glasses, holding about a
pint each. Young Pearsalls took off his

to drink his eggs as he would so much
coffee. The first glassful disappeared in
five seconds, the second in seven seconds,
the third in eight seconds, and the fourth
