FROM WASHINGTON.
Carlisle elected Speaker.
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.
