by Congressman Tarseney, is unjust in the
extreme. Said TarseneY: Talk about
Ingalls, head. He has no head at all. His
neck has merely grown up and haired out"
Ingalls, head. in reality, is not bad-looking.
At any rate, it has more in it than you will
find in nine-tenths of the heads of his
brother Senator'S. and the gray matter in his
brain will outweigh that of any member of
the House, with the exception, perhaps, of
that of Tom Reeds.
Senator Plumb has just risen to speak.
He has the aggressive business back. He
is fat, and strong and clustering. Every
line of his rear is practical. His shoulders
are square, and SO square that they hurt
yotir ewes. His shoulder blades are turned
in toward his chest, and he doubles up his
fists and pounds the air as he talks. He
whips himself this way and that, and you
see that there is not weak joint in his ver-
zebra, and you can almost see the backbone
of the man, though it is padded with thick
covering OF flesh.
Big and Little of 1t.
Just back of him stands Young Senator
Wolcott. He has pair of shoulders so
broad that had he been Sinbad, the "Old
Man Of the Sea" would never nave left him,
and he is good deal like Plumb, only better
made and better rounded. He has short
neck, big, well-combed head, and he has
shown himself to be good speaker.
Just beside him note a lean little fellow
of about 100 pounds weight. I would take
him for a clerk if did not know that he
was Senator Chandler, and as look at the
big frame of Wolcott, one of the legs of
which is as big around almost as Chaniler's
waist, and the head of which corresponds to
ChRndler's as football does to q baseball, I
see that avoirdupos is no index of brains,
and that little man may no as much as
big one. Chandler's back does not measure
more than foot and half from shoulder
to shoulder. His neck Is so thin that it
could be twisted off like that of a chicken,
and itbobs this way and that, and he twists
his shoulders in and out as he sits there
and thinks. He is the most nervous body in
the Senate.
A Back for Bulldozing.
Senator VOORHEES, has fat, Dutch back.
His frame is tall, heavy and apoplectic. 1t
is an aggressive back and sort of bully.
ing back, and he has made lots of money at
the law by throwing those big shoulders
back and pulldozing the jury. Eustis, who
sits beside him, is also lawyer, and his
back looks up 10 the gallery with all the
lines OF good living and good clothing. He
has an income bigger than that of voorhees,,
and 1 have no doubt that he could buy
voorhees, half a dozen times over. His big
frame has been fed with a silver spoon from
the time it first saw light as bouncing big
baby, until now, when it holds its own as
one of the six-foot millionaires of the United
States Senate.
Eustis comes from one of the oldest fami-
lies in the country. He graduated at Har-
ward and has been a professor for years in
Of q har - of nr1a n.n
or his brothers married Mr.. Corcoran' s
daughter, and the Senator himself inherited
fortune. He is man of great ability and
great culture, but be is too rich and too lazy
to cut great figure in the United States
| Senate. Mr.. Vance has the back of fat
old grandmother, and his double-breasted
coat with long skirts makes you think he is
an old woman with "Mother Hubbard
as you look at him from the gallery. His
back is full of good nature.
Scares You When He Rises.
Blodgett, of New Jersey is one of the
razor backed Senators. He is tall and thin
and scares you when he begins to get up.
He rises and rises until you wonder where
he will end, and the bald spot on his crown,
when he stands erect, is somewhere near
seven feet from the floor. He has the stu
dents stoop, but he got it from bending over
over books, and his reputation has been
made out of railroads rather than politics.
He began life as locomotive engineer, and
he worked his engine so we'll thath he wheeled
himself into one of the chief Offices of the
road, and he has for years been the head of
the Long Branch division of the Jersey Cen
tral Railroad. He lives at Long Branch
and is said to be in close connection with
the Sewell party in New Jersey politics.
Another tall, lean Senator is WalthalI, of
Mississippi He is feet high and about Is
inches broad. HIS shoulders are narrow
and his long hair flows down in curls u pom
them. Looking at him from the gallery,
you would hardly know whether his head
was tn at of man or woman, for the hair
is combed la pompadour, and it flows in
gr aceiul curls down the nape of his neck.
He is high-toned Southern gentleman and
an eminent lawyer.
The Educated Pig.
He is always dressed in the cleanest and
neatest of clothing, and in this he is some
what different from his colleague, Senator
George, who looks as though he had been
modelled by one of natures brickmakers in
stead of one of natures sculptors, and whose
negligent ways have caused his bitter
tongued enemies on the other side of the
chamber to call him the educated pig OF
| the body George, however. is very good
fellow. He is man of considerable brains,
and he is great constitutional lawyer. II
| is not true that his trousers are cut with a
circular saw, and his coats are in reality
made in Washington instead of at home.
| His pantaloons are undoubtedly slightly
baggy, and the remark of Senator Vance as
to them is not altogether out of the way.
Vance says that he never takes a rear view
of his old friend George without thinking
of what one of his colored constituents said
about an elephant after he had been to the
circus.
YES" replied the old uncle, IT done
seed the elephant"
"And what kind Of an elephant was it.
| Uncle Ned?"
| "Wal, never seed an elephant afore. but
| I low this was mighty smart elephant
only it 'peared to me that he sutinly had 9
heap of slack leather in his pants"
