If were a cannibal would rather eat a
slice of George Hoar, of Massachusetts, than
any other senator. Hoar is the personitca-
ton OF cleanliness, and his complexion
shows that he keeps his blood in good con

and he looks like Horace Greeley. Allison

HAIR AND ITS LACK.
There are a number Of bald heads in the
senate, and the most patriarchal of these is
Joe Brown who, with his long beard Of
white hanging upon his chest, looks like a
Mormon elder. PhIletus Sawyer, and
Henry b Payne both bald as to their
| crowns, and Gibson, of Louisiana, and
Harris, OF tennessee are fast growing the
same way | note that Senator Hoar's
locks have to be very carefully combed to
tower the white skin on his Uranium, and
Austin F. like, of New Hampshire, has a
head whose top is as bald that IF a drum
head, and as shiny as that Of George f. Ed

seat in the senate, is one of the long
haired senator's Mahons, who has
gray locks, which he throws back like a
name, is another, and Morrill,, Of Vermont,
a third. COlquitt, of Georgia, does not part
his hair at all 1t is very thick, Of iron
gray, and he combs it a la pompadour
Logan's hair is black as shOs polish and
as glossy as Jet ingalls, has short iron
gray hair, and Blair, Of New Hampshire, is
the only red head in the senate, although
Spoonef's locks are Of reddish brown, and
Dan Voorhees, was probably strawberry
blonde when he was boy. Senator George
of Mississippi lost his comb and brush
when he first came to congress, and be has
never bought q new one Spooner seems TO
have a cowick all over his head, and the
gray brstles of Wilson, OF Iowa, stand up
ike brush all around his finely formed
cIanium.
Not one of the senators wears a wig, and
n )ne of them dye either their hair or whisk
ers John Shermans hair is of a brOwnlsh
gray, and lock falls in a contrary way
iown over his forehead at times Jones, of
Arkansas, has a habit Of running his hands
through his hair, which keeps it from be-

has good growth of iron gray strands,
with pair of side whiskers, so cut to
make him look like Kaiser Wilhelm in min.
