OTHER ATTRACTIONS.
The new cOngressneI furnish their share
Of the curiOs ties. The only Jlored man in
congress is Chatham Of North Carolina,
who IS a bright-eyei, well-tressei mulattO,
Who has been a slave and whu is a college
graduate and lawyer. Rising SUM
Morse is broad-laced mill luaire from

IS now deyotiug hims If to sen ling seeds
from the agricultural department TO his
constituents.
John J. O'Neill, one Of The funny men of
the last House, IS succeeded by million
aire, aud one Of the brightest Of the new
men from Missouri, a biack-haireI bTu lette
namel Frank. who is all nerve and BRAIN
Another nervous little fellow is Wilson,
from he state of Washington, who tells
enough good stories to enable him to laugh
himself fat, but VINO is as thin as q rail aud
VINO looks as overworkei as the horse Of

Is without doubt the slouchiest congress
man, though he has improved since his
coming here few years ago. Heuders N

hear him across a ten-acre field. Boutele
OF Maine is another loud talker, and he
gestures quite as violently as he speaks.
George d. Wise of Virginia is one of the
most eloquent of the southern men, and Ben
Bntterworth can make as good a speech as
any man on the republican side of the
House. All told, the congressional show
contains a number of very rare animals,
aud, though at least 200 out of the $50
among them could not make their So 600 a
year in any other place, fully one-third are
worth the price paid for their employment
and earn it. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
