what the subject under discussion Belford is
always ready to cut in, and by keying his
thin, shriil voice up to the highest pitch,
tapping his long awkward arms about him at
the most terrific rate, and saving the most
unexpected and uncalled for things he man
ages to make people listen to him for a five
minutes talk. He is, perhaps, the most pc
culiar man in the house in his personal APP
pearanee. His thin hair is very red, but his
thick, heavy beard is redder, while his face
is even more brilliant hue than either the
hair or beard His clothes hang upon him like
| the historic "shirt on bean pole" Tobacco
juice adorns the corners Of his mouth and his
shirt front. And yet he is withal very quick
and keen-witted, and quite well read in some
particulars. He has been in congress ten
years.
Another man who has proven himself
very pestiferous in this congress is Mr..
Warner of Ohio. He has become almost as
cronie an objector as Mr.. Holman, with ap-
parently about 10 per cent. of that gentle
mans capacity and good judgment. He can
offer more objections in the wrong place.
make more useless inquiries and destroy
more valuable time than any other man
with his experience in congress. And yet
be has actually been reelected. Another
man with peculiarly is MIR. King of Louis
lana In his case the breaking out seems to
be about his personal appearance. He is
said 10 pride himself upon his resemblance
to Napoleon, and to suppose that he has
not only face and head like his, but that
be, too, is possessed of great military genius.
He is said to be very fond of assuming the
attitudes which Napoleon made famous and
to thus by manner add TO the personal resem-
blance which probably does exist in some
degree. Brumm of PENNSYLVANIA is another
member of this class. His weakness is about
labor reforms and green backs and all that
sort Of thing. He does not speak often, and
when he does,
BE MAKES so MUCH NOISE
that you cannot hear him say anything.
Oscar Turner is another man with views.
His relate mostly to trace chains. When the
tariff comes up he is always aroused, and is
never easy until he has got in a bill
or a motion to take the duty off
trace chains. He does not say very much in
detail about the other features of the tarin
except to denounce it as iniquitous, but off
| trace chains he is always at the front. Mr..
Poland of Vermont has one popularity in his
| dress. He still insists upon wearing his
dark blue swallow-tail coat with brass but
! tons, let the style change as it may. In all
other matters he is perfectly level headed.
A popularity of the venerable Wolford of
Kentucky is his appetite for oranges. 1t is
an everyday occurrence to see him pacing
about the house, sometimes on the floor and
sometimes in the Hobbies, eating an orange.
Probably the most difficult thing a man of
culture has to do in society is to eat an or
ange. He always lodges it if he can, for at
the best if is difficult. But put an aged
mountaineer like Wolford at it and it be
comes absolutely painful. 1t is sometimes
hard when you see WolfOrd marching down
the main aisle or promensding in the lobby
and exploring the interior of a mammoth
orange to tell where Wolford ends and the
orange begins. Miller of Pennsylvania is
another man of ''points." He has very
thin, very piercing voice, and is
MOST INTENSE PARTISAN,
and iujects his sharp speeches and queer
cutting remarks most generally on political
occasions. OF course everybody knows Mr..
Holman S weak point, that of Directing to
every blessed thing that looks as though it
could be possibly dispensed with.
Mr.. Robinson of Brooklyn, better known
as "Richelieu" Robinson, is another brilliant
example OF the men with peculiarities. he
