Washington. Nov. s.-Out Of the United
states Senate three picturesque charac-
tiers are to go-Gibson, the handsome, OF
Maryland; Brice, the rich and shrewd, Of
Ohio, ana Blackburn, the eloquent. OF
Kentucky have all felt the force of the
republican cyclone which swept over the
country last Tuesday. Perhaps HIM OF
New York and VOORHEES, of Indiana ana
Vest of Missouri. and Palmer of Illinois
may also be succeeded in time by repub-
licans, but the three hrst-named already
know their fate.
Gibson is MISUNDERSTANDING He is
tall, Of SPLENDID figure, and his handsome
face is adorned by a grey mustache ana
imperial He dresses elegantly and ia
conspicuous in any gathering. lie Is also
an epicure. His great specially is terra
pin He knows more about how the terra
pin should be raised and killed and COOK
ed and eaten than any man in the United
States. He has a terrapin farm off the
edge Of his beautiful home, Radcliffe Man
or, on the shores OF the Chesapeake bay,
and each year ships a large number or
the dainty birds" TO the New York mar
ket. A terrapin supper under his manage
ment is a delight anywhere, but at his
nome 1t is a dream. Then he is able to
pick out the terrapin from a selected
stock, fresh and fat, and II is cleaned un-
der his especial care He can superin
tend its cooking and there is a smile or
conscious pride on his face as the servanr
brings IN the chating dish with its de-
nciOqs contents. The table upon which
the dish is placed has been In me family
for over Two centuries. and its mahogany
TOP shines with the polish of long serv-
ice.
For the edihcation of epicures who do
not have the pleasure of knowing Sena-
tor Gibson, II may be said that he never
COOKS wine with the terrapin. IL sherry

guest attcr the terrapin has been served
upon MS plate In Maryland however
the real gastronomes prefer to eat the
terrapin without any Wine Whatever
They say that the wine DESTROYS the prre
flavor of tho dish.
Brice, too, win be missed-not because
he ever talks or does anything. for like
Gibson, ne never makes a speech-but be-
cause ne is multi-m millionaire, a shrewd
business man, a great schemer and alto
gether a noted character His red hair

latter pointed, make him easily seen from

Wellf al TINS is nearly at an end-un-
less indeed, Senator Brice thinks II will
pay him to stay in Washington as an ex-
senator, and by his dinners and his re-
eeptions have as tight a hold upon the
Senate IS ever.
There win be regret, too, over Black
burns departure. but in his case the
sympathy will be real He Is extremely
popular BY nature he is jovial, he mixes
well in any company, and he is one of
the best Of story-tellers. He possesses
the true characteristics Of a Kentucky
gentleman, a love for women, a taste for
whisky and the gift Of the CAB. Many Of
his speeches in the Senate are splendid
examples of OratOry His tribute to the
memory Of Senator Vance was a classic
In its way. In invective and sarcasm he
was also q master, and no one will ever
forget the terrible castigation Of words
which he poured one afternoon upon
Senator Ingalls, when the latter had been
INDUCING in an attack upon Senator
Voorhees,.
Joe Blackburn, as every one calls
him, is still comparatively a young man,
was a boy, and was member of the
House at a very early age. He is a
lawyer by profession, and will probably

Senate.
They do say that President Cleveland
went out squirrel hunting on election
day. He must have known what was 60
ing to happen.
The supreme court is again in session.
and every afternoon a procession Of
the highest Judges in the land marches
up Pennsylvania avenue. They make
picture which cannot be seen anywhere
outside of Washington.
