brushed back from his forehead and temples.
AIertness, frankness and fearlessness are
strong characteristic expressions of his
race. He is little impulsive and ELUSIVE

seem artificial, but with him seems natural

He is a dashing fighter usually generous

TWO SENATORS OUTWITTED,
A day or two after Mr.. Young was dis
missed from the Senate upon the charge of
revealing executive secrets, there was an
executive session OF one of the committees
OF the Senate, the subject under considera-
tlon being the consideration of charges
made against the appointee. It was re-
garded OF the utmost Importance by the
senators of the committee that the matter
should be kept secret, and, at the same
time, there were two or three correspond
ents to whom it was equally important that
the news should be had.
There were just two senator's present at
the meeting, and they sat in session for sew
eral hours examining two or three wit
nesses, one at time. At the close of their
session they met a correspondent not far
from the committee room, whom they knew
very well and whom they knew also was
anxious to discover the secrets of their ses-
sion.
The senators were two of the greatest
sticklers in the Senate over the question of
executive secrets, both being extremely re-
gardful of the proprieties supposed to attach
TO these matters. One was Mr.. Harris of
Tennessee, whom no correspondent would
ever dare TO ask to reveal an executive
secret, and the other was Mr.. MCMILLAN,
who might be asked but who would never
reveal.
"WeIlm said Mcmillan to the correspond-
ent, "we have had an executive session that
you will never know anything about
How is thatn asked the correspondent.
why was the reply, there being but
two Of us present, Mr.. Harris and myself,
it is absolutely impossible for you to find
out what we did"
The correspondent without saying @
word, pulled note book from his pocket
| and looked it over carefully, and then, iu-
viting the attention of the two senators,
read very deliberately from its pages very
accurate report Of everything that had
| TRANSFERRED in the committee room. An ex-
| preston of CONSERVATION took possession
of the countenances of the two dignified
senators. Both looked at the correspond
ent steadily for a moment, and then,
turning, regarded each other with a
| expression of profound suspicion. The
look in the eye of each was solemn accusa-
ton against the other, and for a moment
neither could speak. Each eagerly cleared
himself, demanded and then implored the
correspondent to tell them how he got the
information. Each declared with great
earnestness, that he was embarrassed, be-
wildered and confounded, and they i'm
plored the correspondent to relieve them Of
the suspicion under which each must rest
before the other.
WELL" said the correspondent, "sinoe
this is personal matter TO you and l am
very fond of you both, will tell you how ]
| did 1t. You had three witnesses in the
room, one at a time. bumped each one as
they came out.n
The two senators went off, wondering why
they had not thought Of that before
