badly dressed a set of men as one can find any
where in the country.
Throughout Congress there are many men
who tuakeo it a point of dressing_ In the most
eccentric possible manner. I l uke Poland, of
Vermont, was ono of the most'occentric dress
ers in , the. House.' He used to always move
about In a blue coat adorned with . small dinner
plates or. brass buttons. His Test was general
ly white,and opened so as to display a wild e:
pause of dainty ruffled shirt bosom, under
whose shades gleamed here and there tiny dia
mond buttons. This old man never in his lite
passed a pier-glass without taking a good'
square look at himself: •
