How Some Of Oar Statesmen wear Their
Hfrnuto Aslorn m anita.


How Some OF Oar Statesmen wsar rheil
Hirsute Adornmsnts.
Wade Hampton has shaved of his
whiskers and with them has gone his
resemblance to Kaiser wilhelm. His
rosy face looks smaller and fatter and
the only hair on It is the little whiskers
Of frosted silver which shine from under
his nose. You would hardly know him
for the same man and his face loses
much Of it's character by the change.
Senator Hoar looks like Greeley, only
better dressed.
Cockrell, of Missouri, with his long.
struggling blonde beard. his tall frame,
is the counterfeit presentment Of Uncle
Sam, save that his breeches are not
made of the American flag nor are they
fastened down under his patent leather
boots by straps.
Senator John w. Daniel has the face
OF Edwin Booth, save that the nose is a
trifle larger and the forehead broader.
His hair Is brown and his eyes are
gray.
Senator Joe Brown looks like a
jewish patriarch or typical Mormon,
but his words show him to be neither.
He is up to the times and his gray
head is full of. practical brains.
Cullom has often been compared
with Abraham Lincoln, and he is fully
as tall and nearly as angular. His
resemblance, however, comes from his
characteristic gesture and expression.
Senator Cush Davis looks like Ben
Butler, and the two have been tsken
for one another.
Senator Dolph. Of Oregon, with his
long, sable silver beard, would make q
splendid representative of Hamlet's s
father.
Senator George Edmunds could
make his fortune by sitting as model
to painters for pictures of st. jerome.
Blair, Of New Hampshire, looks like
President Hayes, and he sympathizes
with him in his temperance principles.
Aldrich, OF Rhode Island, Paddock,
Of Nebraska, and Butler, of South
Carolina, resemble each other, and
each has rosy face and gray mus
tache.
Matt Ransom is handsome. but he
has no counterpart in history or public
life.
Chace, of Rhode Island. though he is
by no means q bad-looking Quaker,
could. in the words of the old joke,
"Be worshiped without breaking the
Commandments" for he is like no one
in the heavens above or the earth be-
meath, Or in the waters under the earth.
Speaking of boards. Senator Allison
wears full set of reddish brown
whiskcrs into which few gray strands
have crcpt. They are stiff and straight
and about two inches long. Joe Black
burns chief ornament is u fierce mus
tache. Don Cameron had red mus
tache. Blair has hair of sand and
silver all over his face. Daniel is
smooth shaven, and Edmunds' whis-
kers are as white rs the cotton burst
ing from the Post Department. Eustis,
of Louisiana, has full beard of iron
gray. Frye sports gray mustache.
George, Of Mississippi, has blonde
whiskers, and A. P. German keeps his
face as smoothly shaven now as it was
when lie attended the sessions of the
Senate as page. Gray. of Detroit,
has a black mustache. Eugene Hale
sports full beard. Harris wakes the
ends of his long mustache. Henderson
wears brown imperial, and Mitchell,
of Oregon, has the longest, glossiest,
dearest brown beard in the Senate.
Senator Morgan's mnsLache is white.
Morrill, has side whiskers. and Fl. b.
Payne keeps his face as bare rs the
crown of Senator Sawyer's bald head.
Stanford has u full beard, and he
could probably cash $4,000 check
for every hair in it.
Stewards full whiskcrs are straw
mixed with frost.
John Sherman's whiskers are stiff
and white. George Vests blonde mus
tache overhangs his mouth.
Walthal has glossy brown hair which
curls as it touches his collar. Quay
has dark mustache. Ingalls, shaves
every day and nurses tenderly his little
and tho bit of hair on his chin.
Looking them all over and sizing up
their intellectual strength the amount
of whiskers seem to have nothing to do
with their amount of ability, and had
Delilah shaved Samson instead of cut
ting his hair he would never have been
and blinded by the Philis-
tines Washington Cor. Cincinnati
Times.
