Congress met on Monday at 12 o,clock. Clerk McPherson called the House to order and proceeded with the roll call to whieh 316 members respon ded. Nominations for speakership be ing then in order, Mr. Geddes, of Ohio, said "I nomiate for the speaker of this house for the 48tli congress, the Hon. John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, a man of acknowledged.pre-eminent qualifica tions for the place." Mr. Cannon, of Illinois,presented the name of the Hon. J. W. Keifer,o£ Ohio,and Mr. Lyman, of Massachusett, presented the name of the Hon. G. D. Robison, of Massachu setts. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, of Virgin of Virginia, Mr. Reed of Maine, and Mr. Calkins, of Indiana, were appoint ed as tellers, and the clerk proceeded to call the roll. The result was announc ed as follows : For Carlisle, 191 ; for Keifer, 112; Robinson, 2 (James, of New York, and Lyman, of Massachu setts) ; for J. S. Wise, of Virginia, 1 (York, of North Carolina) ; for J. W. Wadsworth,of New York, 1 (Ochiltree, of Texas); for Edward T. Lacey, of Michigan, 1 (White, of Kentucky.) The clerk thereupon declared Mr. Carlisle to be elected, and Messrs. Ran dall, of Pennsylvania, and Keifer, of Ohio , escorted that gentleman to the chair. His entrance into the chamber was the signal for loud applausd, and the oath of office was administered. The new speaker delivered a very conservative address which was well re ceived by the House. The Senate was called to order by the President pro. tem , Senator Edmonds. The new senatois were sworn and oth er routine business done. Nothing of importance transpired. THIS is what the Gettysburg "Com piler" has to say about the Presidential situation: "Arthur and Blaine are both tricky, and the coming struggle between them will be watched with interest. In Pennsylvania the stal warts are trying to bargain with Ar thur, whilst the independents are in clined to support Blaine." THE oldest ex-senator is the Hon. John P. King, of Georgia, who was a prominent Democratic politician in the times of Jackson, and who is now in excellent health at the age of eighty four. He was born April 3, 1799, was elected Senator to fill an unexpired term iu 1833, elected to a full teim in 1834, but resigned in 1837. SPEAKING of some conspicuous men in the late war the Boston Advertiser''s correspondent in the city of Washing ton says : "Sherman is 64 and looks older, but the family is hardy and he is likely to see 1900. Sheridon is only 51; he was a major general at 30. McClell an, now a rotund man with bendiug shoulders, has not changed much of late. He is rich and entertains well in his New York city home. Rosecrans and his wife live almost unnoticed on Capitol hill while ne is here as a mem ber of congress from California. His complexion is like a youth's and his hair as white as snow. Hawley and Logan are the other two"most distin guished generals in congress. Both are 57 years old but neither has gray hair. Rosecrans will be reinforced this win ter by an old companion in the western armies, General Slocum, of Brooklyn. General Sickles is practicing law in New York and Stoneman is governor of California. Fremont is no longer rich. He and his wifo, Jessie Benton Fremont, are forgotten in crowded New l r ork. Don Carles Buell runs an iron furnace in Kentucky. Banks is a United States marshal. Terry,the youngest of the brigadiers who won fame in the war will succeed Sheridan in the command of the army." A war seems imminent between France and China. What it is all about or what it is good for docs not appear before the naked eye. THE iron business throughout the state is much depressed. Several large mills in Pittsburg have al ready stopped work and others will no doubt soon follow. About 10,- 000 iron workers arc out of work. Timo at Last Makes All Things Even. From Sanson's Indiana Democrat. All the States of tho Union have democratic governors or governors-elect except Maine, Neiv Hampshire, Ver mont, Rhode Island, Virginia,lndiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nebra ska and Oregon. This gives twenty-six democratic states and twelve republi can. Wo turn to a political almanac for 1869, and find tho list stand six democratic governors and thirty-one republicans. Times change. No Use Knocking for Admission. From the Omaha Herald, Montana is the latest candidate for ad mission into the Union as a state. Since the white population of the territory in 18S0 numbered only 35,385 and the vote in 1882 was but 23,31S,indicatinga population something less than 60,000, tho ambitious statesmen whose anxiety to grace congressional seats loads them to many an indiscretion will cooly bide their time until tho territoiy can make a better showing than at present. Neither Montana nor Dakota wi'l cast votes in the electorial college next year. Patience is the virtue to be practiced by both. A Solid South. Mahono and Mahoneism have suc ceeded in making the South most decid edly solid, but not for President Ar thur. Mahone's tactics beget murder and ri oting and the South has had more than enough of such things. The Virginia boss's efforts to secure his own eleva tion and to benefit President Arthur have resulted in a downfall that will rebound to the benefit of every South ern State. The kind of politics that such men as Mahone practiced in Virginia and bloody Fort Pillow Chalmers attempt ed to practice in Missisippi is danger ous in the extreme to the peace and prosperity of any community in any State, and especially so in the South. Virginians as true Southern people have good reasons to rejoice because they have succeeded'in knocking such methods on the head before they ob tained a foothold in the South. They have shown moreover that they deem a "solid South" much preferable to a section divided by the methods of such men as Mahone and Chalmers. If the corrupt Republican party hope or expect to divide the South, they will have to select better tools than those they have used in the recent attempt.— Sunbury Democrat. The Common Sense, Honest Test. The Ledger goes right to the marrow of the question of legislative pay when it says that 4 'pay for sessions actually held and for attendance at them, aud no pay to wilful absentees or for session not held" is "the plain, common sense, honest test with the people." There are many worthy gentlemen in the present Legislature who hope to re tain the confidence and respect of the people for future promotion. Let none of them delude themselves with tiie idea that they can take full pay for this odious session that was unearned by actual attendance upon the pretend ed sessions of their respective bodies. The people are more than disgusted with the whole extra session business, and they will hew to the line in their reckoning on the question of unearned pay. Don't forget it.—Times. Tho Washing-ton Monument. WASHINGTON, NOV. 29.—The ma sons have stopped work on the Wash ington monument and put it into win ter quarters for the season. The height now obtained i 3 410 feet. The build ers do not expect to finish the column before 1885. It is already the highest artificial height on the American conti nent, and but few loftier structures ex ist on the face of the earth. It is near ly twice as high a3 Bunker Ilill monu ment, 125 feet above the top of Trinity church steeple, and 100 feet higher than the dome of the Capitol. At present it is almost on a level with the top of the spires of Salisbury and An twerp Cathedrals. When carried to its full height of 550 feet it will be the loftiest artificial elevation in the world. Its next neighbor in the air will be the tip-top of the new City Hall at Phila delphia, which is to be 535 feet above the pavement. The Colonge Cathedral is about the same height. Tho Tower of BabeJ, somebody has calculated, was 068 feet high. Miscellaneous. Colorado lias a new town called Wag on Wheel. It took its name from the fact that all the fellows there are tired. — Ex. The meanest father on record has ! been discovered in Atlantic City, N. J. j He had his daughter's front teeth pull ed out to discourage the attentions of an obnoxious young man f Grant Filling, aged 15 years, of In- I dianlown (lap, Lebanon county, went gunning with his brother and a boy named John Trout. While Filling was getting overa fence his gun discharged, the load entering his right side, lie died a few hours later. Amnio and a locomotive came in collision at the works of the Phoenix Iron Company the other day and the locomotive came out of the fray second best. The mule kicked the locomotive and bent the piston rod, so that it was useless and had to be taken to the shop for repairs. The mule stood off un harmed, with a far away look of victo ry beaming in his pensive eyes. The wedding ring given by Martin Luther to his bride is still in existence, and has been placed on exhibition in Frankfort-on-the-Main. It bears a rep, resent at ion of Christ upon the cross and the instruments of the Passion, and in it is set a small rubby. The inscription is: i4 l)r. Martin Luther; Catharine Bora, Juno Id, 1520." Tho Modol Pationt Man of the Day. From the Hartford Commit. George Mexcur, a middle-aged farm er of Blooinfiekl, takes the prize as a patient man. After nine year's assid uous work hehas just finished a writ ing-desk and book-case combined that contains so many thousand pieces of wood that it was next to impossible to keep tho number exact. Fifty-two kinds of wood were used in this unique piece of furniture and there is scarcely a square inch that is not inlaid. The designs are of a; very wide range and take in animals, flowers, trees, agricul tural impliments, articles of household use,etc. The novelty of tho thing is that every bit of inlaying was done with a jack-nife and Mr. Mexcur says he wore out nineteen blades in the work. LIFE'S LABORS. Either a Sourco ot Pain or Happi ness. What a great thing it is to live, and to live to do good to others ! How few there are who appreciate their blessed opportunities, and improve them ac cordingly. Life means earnest and ac tive work. One should love his life work,and labor intelligently with some good end in view. Each day should see some nolle action performed, and its evening find each traveler one day's journey nearer home, lie should enter upon the race with a biave heart, and keep up his courage until the end. Yet how many there are who fail in this world either through laziness, in attention or ill health. An unwell man or woman can never love life or its work. At heart they cannot do as much as the one possessed of a daring soul and a healthy body, who loves his work. This was true of Mr. J. W. Reynolds, of New Lisbon, Columbiana county, Ohio. Through hard and in cessant toil, and close application to business, his health had become grealty impaired. He had become a confirmed invalid,the general debility of his sys< tern was alarming, lie could not sleep well; neither could he work. A friend reeeommended that he try tho famous PEIIUNA. At first no great change was noticeable, but he persevered. He took eight bottles, and as a result was completely restored to his former vigor and strength, lie says ho now feels like a new man,and is daily seen about the streets of his city. He enjoys the best of health, and says it is all owing to PEUUNA. lie loves his labor, and takes pride in his work,and is unceas ing in his praises of the great remedy which restored him.
