WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The new MEM
bers of the house and senate are gradually
beginning TO make their appearance here.
A good many of them came last winter
while congress was in session to take their
first lesson in craftsmanship and begin their
period N gaining and securing their winter
quarters. You see them on the streets
every day or two. They generally have
some distinguishing marks, and in large
number of cases give you the impression
that they own the cart hin their mind.
There is not SO much of that, however, in
their appearance now as there was last
winter. Their experiences this summer
in seeking offices for their constituents
have removed in many cases a good deal of
lheir self-importance. A good many of
fAese new ones, are really old. Take
Congressman Bragg of Wisconsin, for in
stance. He has been here before. He was
in the Forty-seventh congress and has a
trim little figure and rather handsome face
set off with grey beard ana sharp, brown
eyes. There will be a good many people
to welcome him on his return. Gen. Joe
Wheeler of Alabama is another familiar
figure. He was here in the Forty-seyenth
congress. He is little fellow, too, like
Bragg, but not so careful in his personal
appearance Wheeler and Bragg were
both good fighters, and though opposed to
each other during the war, are very good
friends now. Burrows of Michigan is an
other familiar figure. lie was also here in
4.,I
shouldered fellow, with full, brown beard
and a voice
THAT FILLS THE WHOLE HOUSE.
Another familiar figure is that of Joe Pull
itzer proprietor of the New York World
and the st. Louis Post-Dispatch. He was
here in congress years ago with his tall,
angular figure, hooked nose and firey-red
beard. One of the handsomest of the new
members isCOngressman 0uthwaite of Ohio,
who succeeds George l.. Converse of wool
tariff fame. Cultivate is handsome
fellow with brown mustache and goatee, re-
sembling Gen. Hazen somewhat in his ap-
pearance, tall. bToad-shOuldered. and with
pleasant manner. Colorado seems to have
q surplus of red-headed men. Its new
member, Mr.. Symes, is quite as brilliant an
example as was talented Belford. Dough-
ertv of Florida is a young man of So or
40 with black muStache and goatee and a
sort of SpaniSh-like manner. Ward of Chi
cago is blonde lawyer, 35 years old or So
with heavy sandy muStache and, like most
Chicago men, rather modest and retiring in
his manner. Lawler, also 4 Chicago man.
is a short, black-muStached fellow with a
determined look and pretty good avOirdu-
poiS, looking something like Congressman
Dunbar, also of that city. Bynum of In
dianapolis is a broad-shoulderedf fellow with
yellowish whiskerS and brown hair,
WHO KNOWS QUITE AS MUCH
about wholesale dry goods business as he
does about craftsmanship. Jacob RomiS,
who succeeds Frank Hurd, is a muscular
statesman. rather good-looking and popular.
He began life as baggage smasher, to
which fact he perhaps owes an excellent
muscular development, which may enable
him to command the respect of his asSo-
ciates in the house. Kentucky sends a
couple of handsome men in Breckenridge
and McCreary. Breckenridge, 1.-The silver
tOngued orator." is tall and handsome, with
full grey beard, keen, sparkling grey eyes
and white hair. EX-GOv. McCreary is not
quite so tall, with black hair and mustache,
pleasant face and the bearing of courtly
gentleman as he is. Congressman Stone of
Kentucky, who succeeds Oscar Turner is
also good-looking fellow with broad
shoulders and pleasant address. He walks
on crutcheS, having lost leg in the Con-
federate service. Another man on crutches
will be Congressman Brown of Cincinnati.
who succeeds Jordan. He lost leg. too.

and seems likely to take rank at the head
of his delegation. w. W. Elsberry. who
succeeds AIphonzo Hart. from the Eleventh
Ohio district, is rough-and-ready country
doctor, young. and thin in figure and face,
with black goatee and rather suaye manner.
Taylor of Ohio is farmer, and, like most
of the members of that name from that
state, not specially noted for his beauty.
Taylor of Tennessee is arather good-looking
man, with very long black whiSkers mixed
with grey, and, like most TenneSseeans,
rather modest. Brady of Virginia. Sena-
tor Mahone's right bower in Virginia poll

and goatee, bright and active Grosveno1
