A SIDE PICTURE OF THE UNITED STATES Sen.
ATE.-The Washington correspondent of the Cncin-
natl Commercial contributes to the columns of that
sheet the following pen-and-ink sketch of some of
the more prominent of present Federal Senators
g looked in upon the Senate to-day. Gen. Cass is
a ponderous old fellow, with massive head which
he covers with a rusty old brown wig, and keeps
opening and shutting his mouth, and sucking his
breath between his teeth, if he constantly tasted
something dsagreeable. John M. Clayton is more
enormous than Gen. Cass and his face though fat is
magnificent. He is the bestlooking man in the Sem
ate and laughs heartily at intervals of from two to
five minutes. His hair is white as snow and his big
eyes glisten all the time with intelligence and humor
Seward IS as stalwart in appearance as pair of
tongs. He does not weigh more than an hundred
pounds. His hair is short, and looks dead his eyes
are hidden behind pair of gold spectacles. His
face is thin, pale and wrnkled, but its lines are rm
and he appears to be what he is-a man of restless
and intriguing intellect Senator Butler of South
Carolina is the thckest at the waistband though
not uncomfortable heavy. His face is bright and
hair, which he wears long, and in singular confusion,
is white as newly-washed lambs WOOL Hae's ap-
pearance indicates that he has been fed literally on
fat pork and buttermlk. Pugh looks younger when
among the DID, bald Or white-headed and big-belied
Senators than ever before saw him. A ma jority of
the Senators have naked patches the top of their
heads, and quite half Of them are the opposite of
slender. They chew tobacco very much as other
folks, so far as | could discover and Immediately
after adjournment several Of them lit cigars, and
leaning back, appeared to feel comfortable

THE Wharf.-The Richmond Enquirer thus sums

up the results of the European war:
Sardinia, after exhausting its credit is dismissed
with reprimand for its impertinent interference;
the Ottoman Empire in Europe is overthrown, and
Turkey has become the prey of its present protec-
tors Great Britain has been outwitted in the Cab
met, dishonored in the field, and degraded from its
proud position among the nations of Europe France
has monopozed all the material advantage and mill
tary glory of the war, and is now indisputably the
foremost power of the earth; Russia is just what it
was before not diminished in its resources nor dis
paraged in character curbed in its ambition, but
full of young life rrepressible energy, and confidence
in its own great destiny.

AMERICA AND RUSSIA. The following extract we

AMERICA AND Russia. The following extract we
clip from the Nation, Dublin, March Sth
When america First Began to Toy 1yith Russia
We find in the private correspondence Of Henry Clay,
just published, that, in October, 1915, James Mon
roe in the confidence of the President at Washing
ton proposed to Clay that he should proceed on q
special mission to Russia. His letter is curious -
"Snce the overthrow Of France, Russia has acquired
the highest degree of political Importance in relation
to the States. AS a great power, friendly to lib
eral system of neutral rights, and with whose domn-
ions commerce had become considerable she held,
before that event, distinguished rank but by it her
weight in the general scale has been much augmented.
Russia FORMS in effect, at this time, the principal
check on the overgrown power Of England, on which
account and many Others it is immensely the interest
of these States to cultivate good understanding
with her Sovereign. The President is desirous Of
confding to you mission to that power, and will be
much gratfed to hear that it will be acceptable to
you | write to you now that you may be enabled to
consider the proposition before you leave home and
make the necessary arrangements for your departure,
in case you accept the trust; though you will not
infer from this intmation that all due and friendly
attention will not be paid to your convenience as to
the time" Clay declined the Russian mission But
though from his participation in the Anglo American
Treaty of peace he made several English friends and
had from them very liberal explanations of English
policy he seems never to have mtigated his jealousy
of British influence.
