Wood's Dignified Style.
Aady Jolmson's dress was of tlio old
school style of politician of sonio twenty
years ago, wltli but one modern coo
cession, and that was that the coat whs
a froek Instead of a swallow-tail. Ills
'style of dress, the conventional ono of
the " American Gentleman" of tbe
years Rone by, consisted of a ehlny
black broadcloth coat and trousers, with
a vest of deep black velvet. There
are bat few of the Congressmen of the
present day that wears this stylo of
(Iroae.bul talio them as a class, probhbly
tbey are as badly dressed a set of men
as ono can bud anywhere in tlio coun
try.
Throughout Congress there are many
men who mako it a point of dressing in
tlio most eccnmc nossltilo manner.
Luke Poland of Vermont fas ono of
tho most eccentric dressers In the house
lie used always to move about in a
blue coat adorned with small dinner
plates of brass buttons. Ills Yest was
generally white, and opened eo as to
dlsDlav a wido expanse of dainty ruf
fled shirt bosom, under whoso shades
gleamed here and there tiny diamond
buttons. This old man never in his
life passed a pier-glass without tnkintr
n good square look al himself. Two of
tho best dressed men in tho Congress
are CInrkcon Potter of' New York In
the house.and In the Senate Gen. Buru
slde. Clarkson'Potter'has rather over
done the matter in too closely adhering
to the English style of dressing. His
whiskers are cut. after tho English fash
ion, nnd he affects tho English style of
prpnounciation. Yet there are but few
men in the House who are his equals In
ability and capacity for work. (Jen.
Burnlde, the best dresser in the Sent
ate, affoctis the undress military style,

Among the worst dressed men In

Cox. He always' wears'a bobtail sack
coat, and a bobtail sack coat never falls
to damn a- little man. His clothes

only one man In the last House" who
was it worse dresser than Sammy Cos,
and that was Crutchfield of Tennessee.
Crutchfield is a rough mountainper, who'
never wore a collar or shaved himself
oftener than onco a week.

nankeen-colored trousers, over which
hung a three-pound gold chain, tuado

most noticeable type of this class last
winter. He appeared upon all occa

reefing jacket, until his very presence,
from Its absurd nionotany, became ap
palling. He visited Washington this
