Davis In The Senate Chamber

Senator Davis looks as if he enjoyed himself vastly more than in the Supreme Oourt room. All the Jnstices there look uncomfortable, whethor they feel so or not, sitting in lonely state in a straight line on that lofty " bench" in their troublesome gowns. No wonder they all get so enormously fat and heavy jowled. Judge Davis' elephantine figure, folded in that long-tailed robe of satín, was a sight for commiseration. Now, in a morning coat, he looks considerably relieved. He swings his Senatorial chair about, and throws his mighty arms out over the other desks, spreads himself, and at last has room tó spread. He has a strong and noble countenance. There is not another left in the Supreme Court room at once so benignant and trust-inspiring. It is emphatically ' ' a good face," while it is a strongly intellectual one. What a pity he cannot subdue tliat " ponderosity" of his sufficiently to leave the action of that large brain unclogged. That he has so mach, and uses it so well, in spite of all, prove him indeed a mighty man. The resolutions of the bar of the Supreme Court, in which they record "their high senae of the learning, ability, love of justice, and fearless independence which he bronght tn tho dÏRpbnrgA af liis juJioial lutios," are a record of which the rotired Jndge may well be proud. But ho will find in üie Senate of the United States a largor and more congenial sphere - with a future ! -
