feeble gait he would quickly be taken to
be eight or ten years older than Beck,
who is eleven years his senior, but who,
il appearance, at least, is as muscular as
an OK On Beck's head, which is COW

be seen.
\ MILLIONAIRE SENATOR.
Within one seat of Mcpherson sits the
millionaire Senator Payne, who has
rounded ont exactly three-quarters of a
century and who is therefore twenty-five
years older than this New Jersey Sena-
tor; but the average visitor would be
more apt to think there are two years
difference in their ages than twenty-five.
If the shoulders Of Morrill,, the Oldest
Senator in the Chamber, were less bent
he would appear younger than the ''fsh-
pole bachelor" Salisbury, whose record
ed years are sixty-eight and therefore
eight years less than those of the Yer
mont Senator. Jones, of Arkansas, is
but forty-six and consequently in the
prime Of life, but his beard is quite
graz, while the hair on his head, which
is fast turning gray, is as thin as wheat
field visited by Il drought Evarts, at
sixty-eight. although his hair is darkly
gray, shows not a sign Of badness, while
Miller, the other New York Senator,
more than twenty years his junior, shows
a deal of top head through;;his fine silken
hair. Sherman, at sixty-three, although
somewhat lacking by nature in vitality,
is well-preserved man, not a bald spot
being visible through his iron-gray hair.
Malone, at fifty, nine appears older than
Dawes at sixty-nine, Vest at ffty-five as
old as Pugh at sixty-tive. Sawyer is
yet few persons would take
him to be ten years older than Toar,
who will be sixty next August.
gUr ONE SENATOR UNDER FORTY.
An examination of ages shows that in
the thirtics there is but one, Senator
kcnna, whose age is IS and who is there

second youngest Senator, being fl;
5abin and Spooner, 43; !Adrich, A;
Berry, 45; Gray and Jones, of Arkansas,

ach: of Camden, Edmunds, Platt and

DIS, Payne being IS and Morrill, 76
'ctween the youngest Senator, Aenha, l
I'd oldest, Morrill,. there are, therefore, I
airtv-cight years, Morrill, being exactly q
vice the age OF henna. |
