Historical CuriositIes.
Our historical curios are numerous in
this congress. Buckalow, of Pennsyl-
yania, was United States minister to
Ecua lor before the war, and he was a
United States senator in 1868. He is a
smooth-faced, dark-complaXiOned man
of siXty-pine years of age, and he has. as
vet, made no remarkable speeches.
Banks. of Massachusetts, is one of the
most noted characters in American his
tory. That tail. straight. slender. fine
looking man with the gray moustache
aud gOatee and with the mass of snow
white hair is he. He sits near the
speaker on the Republican side of the
chamber, and he has as much iron in
his blood now as when he learned the
trade OF machiniSt in a cotton factory.
From mechanics he went to the law,
and he was elected speaker of the
LUuFS VI fio
Nothing in 1855. He has been goS-
ernor of Massachusetts, was a general
during the late war, and has tor num-
Der of terms served in the house.
Whitthorne, of Tennessee, has been in
the senate, and McCreary, of Ken
lucky, and Gear, of Iowa, have been
governors of the states which they
represent. Ex-Speaker Carlisle may
pose as an historical curiosity, aud Gen.
Joe Wheeler, that tight little dark
faced man with long beard, was one
of the most noted cavalry leaders of the
Confederacy. Out of 800 members fully
one-half have war records. and there
are ninety Union soldiers in congress
and eighty-fye Confederate ones.
Hooker, of Mississippi, one of the most
noted of the Southern members, lost an
arm on the battlefield, and it was in bat
tie that Henderson, Bnothman, of Ohio.
and Laws, of Nebraska, each lost one of
his legs.
