The Washington Star says: sThe personal appearance of the next Senate will hold its own quite we'll. Sixteen Senators have been reelected, which se- cures the philosophic beauty of Senator Hoar's face, the rugged Scotch force of Senator Beck's grizzled ceuntenance, the fine profile of Senator Colquitt, the knightly features of Senator Ransom, and the fine facial type represented by Sena- tor Chace.

The City of Madison, as we noticed one fine
