seated together, and during most of the
time were engaged In what seemed to be IN
earnest conversation. On the extreme right
of tho same row sat Bayard. looking pleas

toga which was slipping from the shoulders
of sGcntleman George" When Mr.. Payne
entered the chamber he paused for q
moment and looked around, as If
uncertain whether to advance. He was
recognized by Mr.. Pendleton, who beckoned
to him This was particularly noticed in

Island Quaker, who did not seem to enjoy
the rattle of small talk which Patterson was
pouring into his right ear.
MR. EvARTs,
the new senator from New York, sat Id the

Evarts succeeds. and Dr.. Loring, the aesthetic
commissioner OF agriculture Lapham and
Loring are beyond the average man In
stature and avoirdupois, while Evarts is
between these two physically heavy weights
Mr.. Evarts appeared at decided disad>
vantage. In mental weight and stature,
however, the little man will perhaps out
weigh the two individuals who overlapped
him to-day. Cullom, Dawes and Henderson
formed another group, and appeared to be
enjoying the scenes that were rapidly trans.
