the part Of its possessor. Senator
Harris is often heard In debate, how
ever; but Senator Cameron speaks so
seldom that his voice is scarcely known
in the senate chamber. Whenever he
does address the body, however, his
remarks are those of man of as dorni-
mating and aggressive a nature as the
potential senator from Tennessee. They
are very much alike, and yet remark'
able political opposites.
Senator Gibson, of Maryland, looks
very much like Mr.. Outhwaite, Of
Ohio, but is e larger man and much
more athletic IN appearance. He wears
Ia mustache and imperial gostee, and is
regarded by many, particularly by the
ladies, as the handsomest man in the
senate; distinction once held by ex-
Senator Hiscock, of New York.
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, wears q
universally conceded that in appear
ance and manner he bears remark.

Senators Jones and Stewart, of Ne
vada, the former short, rotund and
stout, the latter tall, broad-shouldered
and aggressive, are both advanced In
years, are both interested in silver, are
both known as silver kings, and both
wear long silvery boards They are
populists now, too. and all of their
waking and sleeping thoughts seem to
be concerning the white metal which
so abounds in the everlasting hills Of
their mountainous state.
The student of physiognomy, as well
as the casual observer in the galleries
of congress, would have much food for
thought, not only in viewing the pecul.
iarities of the facial appearances of the
different statesmen, but in studying
the characteristics of the men who are
thus distinguished by their external
appearances. Every one Of them is the

petuous stress of mighty blast, whilst
the foliage of the tall forest was being
torn and buSeted like the pillows OF
the raging sea-then darkness again
that might be felt were not sensation
dead! / now fully realized what was
the matter. Nothing less than a
cyclone was tearing along, sweeping
everything before it!
Throwing myself PROSTATE, for II
was becoming impossible to stand, l
seized the stem of a small tree and
clasped it for life. On came the tenn
pest, and again and again till the
heavens seemed flaming flashed the
lightning. In few minutes, finding
that was not swept away, recovered
sufficient calmness to open my eyes and
look around. The snaller trees, those
about me on the crest, made no strug-
gle at all. but bent over like fishing
rods, their tops wildly sweeping the
ground. Under one of these arches
lay, realizing the momentary danger
of being torn and ground to shreds by
the burrowing branches of other trees!
But really the trees stood wide apart,
and so intense was the stress Of the
pressure that the movement was less
than appeared to my excited fancy.
The giants on the higher declivities,
being unable so to yield, simply shiv-
cred and were torn away as one might
twist and snap twig!
All this lay there watching in the
now continuous glare of the lightning.
What with the terror of the situation,
and the swift movement of the atnos-
phere, could scarcely breathe and
felt suffocating. But gaining conf.
dence with continued life, once
more looked across the savannah.
All, what q sight! Through that
tempestuous ocean Of foliage, into
which tongues Of lightning continually
shot, rose ever and anon like a
mightier wave than the rest the canopy
of some weaker giant; the massive
trunk would next shoot sloping up

Gus balloon would it be whirled into
the darkness of the south.
Irealized at length that so far I was
but on the edge Of the storm, but oh!
the terror of the thought that it might
swerve our wayl Suddenly the light
ming ceased, and all was dark. The
pressure of the wind sensibly relaxed
and the tortured trees that still stood,
whose weakness had been their safety,
recovered their positions, but clashed
their swaying boughs together
horribly. Then down came the rain,
IN torrents such as only the tropics can
produce.
How / reached the site of our camp
I scarcely knew. The camp itself was
a scene of ruin. Not even post Of the
temporary huts remained. Fortunate
1y, my white companion and the In
dams had had time to secure most of
our belongings and themselves in a
small cave in the hillside. They had
given me up for lost. Singularly,
when all danger was over my nerve
completely gave way and l became pos
itively hysterical.
The next day when I had recovered
from the shock, accompanied by my
companion, 1 crossed the savannah to
the forest. What wild scene of desc
lation! AS far as we could see the
whole forest had been been Frustrated.
The scene was appalling. In the
silence of terror we moved along,
climbing from trunk to trunk, passing
spots where two, three and five of the
mighty trees lay piled on one another.
How Unreasonable must not have
been the strength of that storm, and
how fortunate our escape. The
thought of it held Us speeches. for the
time being. and grand as this freak of
natures madness in thus destroying its
own glorious creation of centuries was,
it was nevertheless SO horrible to look
upon that i shall never forget the
slightest part oft, and certainly hope
never to see the like again.

produced the old-time sailors charac-
.teristic agility of body and peculiar
strength of arm, have been superseded
by other sorts of duties in handling
enormous guns and operating heavy
machinery. Consequently the clothing
that formerly fitted the average sailor
of a certain height or weight does not
fit him now, and on examination il il
found that by the transition from the
cid to the new style Of warships and
methods of handling them, an appre-
cha bile change has been wrought in the
physical measurements of the seamen.
AT all events. as Admiral Ramsey acting
secretary of the navy, explains. the old
tailor pattern designed years ago is q
,misfit now, and accordingly the only
thing to do was to alter the standard
of uniform measurements and adapt
the pattern to the peculiarities of the
average wearer as he now exists That
has been done by the order signed re-
Gently by Secretary Herbert. and just
promulgated among commanding Off
GERS. The manufacture is progressing
rapidly by contract.
Secretary Herbert, in his annual re-
port just issued, states that this force
of 1900 navy men is insufficient now
and will be more so hereafter. He
shows that the number of vessels which
must be kept in commission and ready
for service is greater than can be
manned by that force, and urges con-
gress to authorize its increase by 1000
men, to be enlisted when needed for
the ships now completing, making the
total strength II, 900 men. As a reason
he points out the necessity not only of
having additional men, but of having
them trained in the art of exercising
the ships. In reality the present com
plement embraces / 500 boys, known as
'apprentices-- Halfof them, although
boys when they enlisted couple G;
years ago, are now at sea performing
the functions of grown seamen, while
the other half are undergoing instruc-
ton either on the training ships or at
THE Newport station. In addition TO
the seauen, who receive in the aggre-
gate s7,f-3, 900 as annual pay. the ma
rine corps furnishes 1000 fighting men
more, and snail body OF them are
maintained on each warship- But even
with these and with the increase Of
1000 enlisted men asked for, our war

MORSE comes from the hand Of the bar
Der in the cloak room every day, with
his whiskers carefully con;bed and
beautifully CLOSED He makes many
speeches. all Of them beautifully
dressed. but none of his words or
works are as beautiful as his whiskers.
Col. william q. Hatch, Of Missouri,
the chairman of the committee on ag-
ricult ure, the author of the oleoIrsrg-
arine bill and generally known as the
farmers friend" is very handsome
man whose good looks are largely en-
HANGED by beard which is almost a
fac-simile of that which is worn by
Mr.. Burrows. OF Michigan, except that
it is great deal longer. It was once
dark brown and almost black, but now
the touch of time has silvered it to q
marked degree.
There are many other pretty. peculiar
end picturesque whiskers worn by
statesmen in the house, but the most
remarkable mustache in congress Is
that of Senator Isham G. Harris, Of
Tennessee. 1t is long, stiff, curling.
iron-gray mustache and looks at differ
ent times like rapier, claymore and
battleax. 1t is an aggressive, fight
ing mustache, and is worn by sena-
tor in whose nature thsre is wonder
full admixtrre of learning, oratory,
impotence, dogmatism, generosity
and intolerance. There has not
been hair upon the head Of
Senator Harris for score of years
or moro, except a little fringe
about the base of the skull between
the ears. But his mustache has been
there for probably more than one gen.
Grafton, and without it Senator Harris
would be as unknown and lost to his
friends as are the lost arts Of which
Wendell Phillips used to speak so elo-
quently.
Senator Don Cameron, OF Pennsyl-
vania, who is much talked Of as the
next candidate Of his party for the
presidency, once wore red mustache,
but now il is almost as white es the
rnustache of Senator Harris The
Pennsylvania sen ator is tall, slender
man, possibly a little taller than Sem
ator Harris, and his mustache Is al
most a match for that of the distin-
guished Tennesseean in its indications
tof q masterful, dominating spirit On
