AROuT PEOPLE.

Black of Georgia is one of the most con-
spcuous figures on the floor of the House.
Down in the watermelon State he has been
known for years as the orator par excellence.
1t is conceded that as a master of extempora-
neons eloquence--for even if he writes speech,
under the inspiring excitement of delivery he
scars away from its hampering circumscription
like unfettered faiceu-he stands without a
peer in his State, if not in the whole South.
Hon. George o. Jones. the father of the
greenback, was met the other day. Every body
in Washington knows Mr.. Jones for his writ
ings and ADVOCACY Of the greenback cause.
With such fog Of financial talk being stirred
up here Mr. Jones could not find it in his heart
to remain elsewhere. He t&ks greenbacks
with all his old-tme fervor, and, as tho next
best thing is for the cause of silver heart and
soul.

There was good deal of quiet laughter in
dulged in at the expense of Senator Voorhees,
on account of his speech last week. In fact,
some of the Democratic Senators seemed to re-
gard Voorhees, attitude huge joke. The
Indiana Senator let slip several colossal mis-
statements which have been hilariously COM
mented upon. One of the silver Senators said
that Voorhees, position reminded him of
Judge who heard n case on the border in regard
TO the return of q slave who had escaped from
Kentucky. The Judge laid down the law in
favor of the North and then ordered the slave
returned to the South. Another Senator
marked that the bill for unconditional repeal
would finally pass the Senate; but" he
added, with q laugh, "if a few more speeches
like that of Voorhees, are made in behalf of re-
peal the bill will certainly be killed"
So
The "pothook" men, who sit in front of the
Clerks desk in either House of Congress every
day and record verbatim the proceedings of the
lawmakers, have been hardworked during the
last two weeks. 1t is the habit of the skilled
shorthand man TO trail along some Is words
behind the speaker, occasionally looking around
and stroking his mustache, for the effect upon
the galleries. However, once in while the
"pothook" man is obliged to stop his mon
keying" and get down to work. Such has
been the case several times during the last
week. Some of the new men have developed
an exceedingly uncomfortable degree of speed
i'll delivery. One two of these gentlemen
during the debate just closed let the words out
OF their mouths hot upon each other, and when
they reached the open air they became mex
tricably mixed mp, as it were, and the whole
effect might have been likened to the pouring
of shot out into pan. Not one of the Pitman
gentlemen was ever known to lose either his
drift his head, but on many occasions last
week the nose of the representative of the
force was noticed to be within two inches
of the paper, his head was bent. and his tongue
was held between his teeth little to side,
and the alacrty with which, at such time.
he gave way to his successor upon relief,
without even parting glance at the gallery,
told eloquently Of the strain to which he had
been subjected.

sional Directory reveals many interesting facts
concerning the makeup of the present Con-
gress Andrew Jackson once said Congress is
curious collection" and the saying is even
more pertinent now than it could have been
then. The oldest man in the Senate is Justin
S. Morrill,, of Strsfford, VT. who was born in
1870 and is merchant Moreover, he is the
Nestor of Congress, having served 80 years.
The youngest of them is Edward o. Wolcott, of
Denver, Colo He was born in ls48 in Massa-
chusetts, and is a lawyer by profession. The
rest of the Senate is made up of 81 lawyers,
four capitalists, three journalists, two lumber
men, two man ufacturers, one merchant, one
railroad official, miner one stock raiser,
one car builder. one doctor, two bankers, one
planter, and six quarrymen. The rest put
themselves down as retired Twenty of the
Senators served in the Confederate army dur
ing the and Is in the Union army. The
man with the longest time TO serve is Edward
C. Walthal, of Grenada. Miss, who has been
reelected by the Legislature of his State for
the term ending in 1901. The most cultured
Senator is Henry Cabot Lodge, OF Massachu-
setts who is an author artist, linguist. scholar,
aud society man. The handsomest is Charles
II. Gibson. of Maryland. The most Senatorial
is Alfred ii. Colquitt, of Georgia. whose father
and grandfather sat in the Senate before him.
The haughtiest is J. Donald Cameron, of Penn
sylvana, whose unique distinction it is never
to say word in the Senate nEless he moves to
adjourn. The richest, now that Stanford is
dead, wonld seem to be John p. Jones, OF Ne
vada, who bestows gold dollars OF the beggsrs
OF Washington. The one most celebrated out
side of his own country is John Sherman. The
most abused is Matthew Stanley Quay, of Penn-
sylvaRa. The most punctlious is Calvin s.
Brice, of Ohio, who changes his shirt three
times every day. The most temperate is David
B. Hill. of New York, who neither drinks.
