Visitors to the Senate galleries, says the) Washington Critic, can not fail to notice the singular resemblances between half a dosen prominent members of tho present Senate and as many other conspicuous figures in tho country's political history. Occasionally Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, strikes an attitude, or his features catch a peculiar light, which renders his resem blance to Blaine so striking that it is gener ally recognized and commented upon. Al though so widely 'separated in latitude, the statesmen from the extreme North and South arc so much alike in appearance that it is sometimes difficult to convince a visitor that tho "man from Maine" is not again in the Senate. Senator Blair's resemblance to Hayes has often been commented upon, and increases with the marks that time is making upon tho philanthropic New England Senator. The two men might readily be mistaken for each other. The resemblance which in tho case of Eustis and Blaine does not extend further than to the similarity of feature and expression, in this case extends to manner, voice, form and bearing, and is in all re spects soemingly almost perfect. The similarity between the face and form of Senator Cullom and the portraits of Lin coln, heightened by the fact of their similar geographical origin, has been the subject of remark for many years and has done its full part in shaping the political destinies of Mr. Cullom. Senator Morrill's resemblance to Charles Sumner is one of the most notable of the Senate likenesses, owing to its singular fidelity to every detail of countenance, color of eye, shade of hair and even to the tones of the voice and case of gesture. To the visitor who is seeking resemblances there is little ditliculity in noticing a strik ing likeness between the profile of Senator Gorman and that of Washington as shown by many of the medallion portraits. This resemblance is sufficiently apparent to have been often remarked, and when the face of the Maryland Senator is in perfect repose i and the expression one of attentive thought J it affords certainly the closest resemblance J to the face of Washington of any now in public life. The new Senators have displaced several of tho Senate gallery of living likenesses, but have added cue of the most striking to the number it. is that of Senator Davis, of Minnesota, whose resemblance to Ben But ler is so great as to impress itself upon the most casual observer. THE AWFUL BLIZZARD. llow It Carrie hnftVrJns anil OHcn Death to Western Travelers. A blizzard is simply a strong, cold wind moving unchecked over leagues of light unpacked snow, says the Toronto Globe. It sweeps up that which has previously fallen, carries it away in the color of a vast shaken fleece, distributes it so that each atmos pheric atom has its little particle, and drives along all with a steady fury. Whether fresh snow is falling can seldom be determined by 1 people out in a real blizzard. As rar as the eye can sec upward, and that is but a little space, the hurry of minute pellets hurtling through ether across an uurevcaled sky pre vails, and the hurrying sameness on every side is varied only by occasional tall and bend ing wraiths where the wi'iu whirls in shifting column. A confusion of the senses, compar ablo to none produced otherwise, appalls one submitted to the enormous and blinding force of such a snow-hllcd vind, r.nd scarce ly a distinct thought remains, except that the awful cold forbids crouching for rest and shelter. To our personal knowledge, one in such a storm keeps with difficulty upon a railway track lifted three feet above the surrounding prairie, :::id may be lost 1)3 five steps the wrong way after stumbling down from tho embankment, which, being white, Lccomcs instantly invisible. It is recorded on good authority that teamsters halting with their horses have been snowed over thirty feet deep by bliz zards, and have survived by beating out breathing chambers till the cessation of the storm enabled them to dig themselves to upper air. The formation of a drift about a halted man or horse or r'eigh is sometimes wonderfully speedy, and the drift, once es tablished, grows by virtue of its obstructive ncss. In some well-authenticated eases lost persons have been found by the drifts over them and dug out alive; in others, tho spring has revealed corpses still unthawed among tho last white relics of winter. In blizzards people have often been unable to see across the street of a northwest town, nnd sometimes lose their direction in trying to reach the opposite side of a well-built way. OUR GLORIOUS COUNTRY. It I Second Now, Kttt It Sonn to Bo the I-'n,!. 9 Ours is a great country. This is not an original remark, but it has a lame quantity of truth in it And we are continually growing greater iu very many respects in cluding some that are not of a character in which wo can take any pride. But it is in population that wc arc making the most gigantic strides. The St. Louis Clotx-Demo-erat shows oiir present and prospective posi tions in this respect :-.s follows: 41 The United States has a population of at least G2.COC,000 at this moment. This makes it second in this particular among the great civilized nations of the world. Keeping in view the ratio of growth of tho countries named between recent census periods, there arc to-day about SS.WW.000 inhabitants in European Russia, 47,000,000 in Germany, 40,000,000 in Austro-Uungary, 38,000,000 in Franco. 87,000,000 in Groat Britain and Ire land, 30,000,000 in Italy, and 17,000,000 in Spain. The population of none of the other countries in Europe reaches 10,000.000 Turkey's inhabitants outside of Asia aggre gate scarcely half that figure. Russia alone of the great powers of Christendom exceeds the United States in population. Even Russia must scon be left far in the rear. Ou July 1, 1SU), when the next na tional enumeration takes place, the United States will have r,7.0to,oiO inhabitants. It will have !;,U3,X!0 iu the year WOO and 131, 000,000 in llHO. This computation is based on the average growth of the country dur ing the century. Employing a like basis for Russia, that nation before 1910 will have dropped to second place, the United States taking the first "Forty years ago the United States stood sixth in point of population among the civilized nations of the globe, and twenty years ago it stood fifth.

Chief Justioe Waite, of the Uni ted States Supreme Court, Dead. His Death Due to a Complication tf Troubles The Telephone Case His Last Decision. Biography of the Distinguished Jurist His Ancestor Signs the Death Warrant 'of King Charles. Washington, March 2a Chief Justioe Waite died at C: 10 o'clock this morning. The Chief Justice dined on Saturday evening with Senator Hearst and on his return home ho became so ill that his fami ly physician. Dr. Winslow, was sent for. Ho was confined to his bed on Sunday and on Monday he insisted upon going to the Supreme Court to be present when the de cision in the telephone suits were rendered. The weather was mild and .the doctor yielded to bis request every precaution being taken to prevent any ill effects from the journey. The telephone decision had been written by the Chief Justice, but he was too ill to read it from the bench, and that duty was therefore performed by Justice Blatch ford. Special care was taken that no evi dence of the Chiet Justice's illness should appear, and none'of the throng that heard the decision read suspected the real reason why it was announced by Justice BUtch ford. As soon as possible after the reading, Justico Waite left the bench and was hur riedly driven home. It is ad mittcd that the trip to the capitol was fur from prudent for one in Justice Walte's condition, but it is asserted that no serious consequences can be ascribed to it Tho Chief Justico was determined to go and the doctors had to yc!d. He went back to bed and since then had been a very sick man. On Tuesday morning symptoms of acute bronchitis appeared, accompanied by in somnia aud great rest essucss. Uis condi tion Tuesday was net alarming, but on Wednesday circumscribed pneumonia showed itself. On Thursday night be was comfortable, and no particular alarm vas felt but at six o'clock this morning failure of the heart's action was observed. Death ensued in a few minutes. His daughter, Miss Marie F. Waite, and bis son, Mr. C. C. Waite, vicc-picsidentof the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton rail road, were with him when he died. Drs. Caroline B. Winslow aud Frank A. Gard ner were in attendance. Mrs. Waite left Washington for California about a veek ago and is supposed now to be In Los Angeles. Arrangements for the funeral have not as yet been made. The Chief Justice will be buried at Toledo, O. In t)e afternoon a consultation ot physi cians was held in the sick chamber. Hone of the Supreme Court Juu-.-cs had any information to give to inq-rrers, and extraordinary efforts were uudc by all having ..nowlcdgc of the facts to keep the Chief Justice's illness a secret. Justice Wane's, illness was due to trouble with his liver and spleen, complicated with very painful stomach disorders. Justice Waite had a very serious lit of sickness just at the close of the administration of President Arthur. He was confined to his hou-c for several weeks with an attack of erysipelas, that threatened at one time to have a fatal termination. The serious character of his illness at that time was not generally known until after the crisis had been passed, and it was not until he was well enough to bo up and about his hu-e and on tho street that newspaper paragraphs appeared reporting him to be in danger. The Justice was a hale man to look at but he had a stroke of paralysis some years ag', and bis menus had been solicitous ntcut him on that account, feeling a recur rence of the old symptoms. After bis re covery from this illness, he traveled and souglit recreation by prolonged abstention from the duties of the Supreme Court The President is prcparmg an order clos ing all executive departments of the Gov ernment on tho day of Judge Waite's funeral. The Supreme Court and both houses of Congress have adjourned as a mark of re spect to tho deceased Chief Justice. monoArHiCAu Chief Justice Waite was born in Lynn, Conn., in 1S16. In this State his youth wasYpassed. His education was completed at Yle College, from which institution he graduates' in 1KT7. His inclinations were for the legal profession. After studying law in his naftve State 'he moved to Maumeo City, O., where-hc actively entered into the business of his profession. He never manifested any taste ftr .party politics, but never shrank from fuUHjJf-his duty as citizen. In 1819 he was e1cM to the Ohio Legislature in which body hurgood sense was manifested on all measures of public policy. In Is'jO he removed to Toledo, which city he made his home until he moved to Washingtos City in 17-1. He was devoted to the law, sad while at Toledo he declined repeated nomina tions to Concrcss. He also refused to accept an appointment to the Supremo bench of his8tate. In 1871 be was one ot the counsel of the United States before the tribunal of arbitration at Gcnevx In this Instance be distinguished him self by his solid judgment and his comprehen sive views of international affairs. When ths constitutional convention ot Ohio met In 187S Judge Waite was chosen to preside over it. There was perhaps no lawyer In the State bet ter fitted for the position. In IK74 President Grant appointed him Chief Justice of the United States. This position he has tilled with honor to himself and to trfs country. His rulings hare been in the main wisc'and entirely free from party bias. This appointment was fortunate in that it placed a solid and conservative lawyer at the head ot the court of highest resort In the country. The dead Chief Justice's full name was Mor rison Remich Waite. He was the son of Henry Matson Waite, who was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut. The coat or arms used by the Waite family in bothKarope and America was granted inliti. In the time of Cromwell, Thomas Waite was k member of Parliament and one of the judges who lcned the death warrant or Charles J Shortly after the Restoration the family re moved to this country.

"The boy," said Day, "is determined to do the right thing, and swears he will marry her. I would not be surprised if they were mar ried in a week." New Slksouri Railroad. Mexico, Mo., March 23. It is about a set tied fact that the course of the Chicago, Hannibal & Springfield railroad from Han nibal to Springlield has been changed. By the change the line will run from this city to the Missouri river, crossing at Moniteau creek, instead of Wolfs Point, and leaving the towns of Columbia aud Ccntralia off the road. Several changes, though unim portant have been made south of the river. This Hue will go into Chicago from Hannibal over some existing road, which, it is whispered, is nothing less than the "Q."
