"Hew young the present veteran legislator was In war time Is apparent, When we consider that of .141 veterans new In congress only ene or two became major generals, aome twenty or mere were Meld officers, while GEX. OATES. COL. U'CREART. COL. CAXDLEIt. OKN. rORHET. COL. COTTLKS. OKN. WIIEELEB. CAPT. WISE. COL. DAVIDSON the balance ranked either ns captains or below that grade. The term brigadier, therefore, wplch was applied te promi nent ex officers of the Confederate army who represented their states seen after the close of the war, would hnrdly apply today, for these who were generals in 1835, then in middle life, are new either old men or huve passed te the "eternal camping ground." The present repre sentatives, both of northern and southern states, are in some instances descended from tlie prominent men of war, and in ene instance n representative from Ar kansas is n tan of a former vice president of tlie United States Jehn C. Breckin ridge. Of the fitty-eight southern repre sentatives "he were Confederate soldiers thirty-ene enlisted ns privates, and el the eighty-three northern veterans forty-six began nlse with a musket Mississippi, the home of Jeffersen Davis and one of the most aggressive of the southern states in the secession move ment, may be expected te send ber sol diers te congress. She fulfills the expecta tion. The seven members for Mississippi are Confederate veterans. Seuth Caro lina, where the war was begun, stands, in this respect, nearly by Mississippi, flve of the seven of the representatives of the Palmetto Btnte being gi actuates of the school of practical war. Georgia sends halt her representatives from civil life and half from nmeng the veterans. Frem the northern states we get a smaller propor tion of ex-soldiers than from these three southern states. Massachusetts sends two veterans out of eleven representatives; New Yerk, eight out of thirty-four; Penn sylvania, nine out of twtnty-seven; Ohie, fourteen out of twenty-one; Indiana, seven out of thirteen, while Illinois, one of the et rouges t supporters of the Union during the war, sends only five ex-soldiers out of twenty representatives. Of congressmen who held commissions in the service of either slde during the war, Representative Jeseph Wheeler, of Alabama, held the highest rank. lie was a major general In the Confederate ser vice and a distinguished cavalry leader. Alabama sends a geed number of real brigadiers, as Oates and Ferney of that otate are entitled te be called general. Numbered with the Arkansas delegation is a son of Jehn C. Breckinridge. Rep resentative Breckinridge was a.mldship man in the Confederate navy. 'He is de scribed as a careful and studious speaker. Of the two Flerida congressmen, the youngest, Charles Dougherty, was a scout in upper Georgia during Slier man's march through that state. He is ene of the quaintest story tellers of the house. Crisp, of Georgia, was a lieuten ant. Candler, one of Crisp's colleagues, rose from prlvate te colonel in the Con federate army. The border states Bhew a mixture. Of the eleven Kentucky members three nre Confederates and one a surgeon in the Union army. Gen. William J. Stone parted with a leg In the Confederate ser vice. Polk LafToen was with Morgan dur ing his raid through Ohie. Cel. McCreary, another Confederate Kcntucklan, has been governor of his state and United States senator. Of the Missourians. two were in the service of the Union and two in that of the Confederacy. Tennessee, n state much divided in sentiment during the war, sends two ex-Unten soldiers and three ex-Confederates. Among the latter is Gen. Washington C. Whlttberne, who is a real brigadier, with hair as white as snow. The West Virginia delegation is equally divided. A son of Gen. Rebert E. Lee represents old Virginia W. H. F. Lee. He sur rendered with his father at Appomattox. He was a Harvard student when the war breke out, and went south te Jein the peo ple of his st&te. Capt. Geerge D. Wise is a son of Governer Henry A. Wise, of ante bellum prominence. He is very popular. Virginians were oil In the army, and eight out of ten of the Old Dominion delegation were soldiers. Cel. O'FerralJ, at the time of the surrender at Appomattox, com manded the Confederate cavalry In the valley of the Shenandoah. William Era bree Gaines surrendered te Sherman with Gen. Jee Johnsten.

Anether ex Confederate delegate is a son of Governer B. F. Perry, and served as a Confederate trooper. The proportion of war men from Texas is eight in eleven. Among them is a colonel, David B. Culberson, vihe is chairman of the committee en Judiciary. Samuel W. T. Lanham enlisted when a boy in a Seuth Carolina regiment and served through the war. He is new chairman of the committee- en claims. There is a major, William II. Martin, who is as quaint as Davy Crockett.

They nave taken the place of the elder men. and I wish we had mere of therri here." Most of them were very young when the political events which brought en the war were exciting the attention of the coun try; Indeed, they were then children.

The proper method of setting a trap in the weeds for bears is te place it at the feet of a tree near a trail where the bears are accustomed te pass. Then hang n piece of any kind of meat, excepting that of the bear, against the tree, directly ever the trap, and se high that the bear can only reach it by standing upon his hind feet He then cannot get the bait with out stepping into the trap. After the trap is set the pan and Jaws should be lightly covered with dry leaves, and if tbere is any bleed upon the meat it is well te sprinkle a little upon the trap, after which every object net pertaining te the locality should be removed, and all tracks obliterated by brushing or covering with dirt or leaves.

"Yeu fccld&tn see an advertisement for a book agent in these days," remarked a veteran canvasser, "but that doesn't sig nify that the much abused man is no longer seen abroad in the land. There is a certain fctlgma attached te the business, and a man is deterred from becoming a book agent for the tame rr.iseu that prompts a woman te de anything rather than go out te service. The houses that deal in subscription books are well aware of this feeling, and unscrupulous publish ers resort te the most ingenious plans te word their advertisements se as te con ceal the real nature of their business. If they raada a direct call for book agents they would receive very few epplicants, but by couching their advertisements in ambiguous and alluring language they are sure te get ths pick of ths unemployed men nnd women. Their main object Is te get the people te call, for It is then easy enough te induce the most likely te try their juck by Helding out nattering prom prem ises. The scheme most usually employed is te advertise for collectors at a fixed sal ary. When a man calls and proves satis factory he is tqld that he can have the job as seen as it is ready, being made te be lieve that he is te buve a nw route as seen as the canvassers have drummed up enough subscribers. "In the meautlme the man is advised te de a Uttle canvassing himself. He will be nble te make living wages and famlltarlze himself with the business. The man is, of course, a little disappointed, but at last consents te become a book agent for the time being In anticipation of getting a place as collector nt a fixed salary. An iron bound contract is then drawn up, for the sake of formality, he is told, by which he agrees te sell ths book en commlftslen. He Is then required te de posit $10 as security for the dummy copy be is te carry with him. Time passes, and the route en which he was te serve as collector Is as far from completed as ever. He has found that canvassing is hard work and doesn't pay his beard. He gets discouraged, turns in his dummy copy and demands the return of the deposit he paid en it. The firm refuses te return the money, and pelut te the clause in the agreement that refers te breach of con tract. The Arm has the law ou its side, and the man has no redress. The cost of manufacturing these dummy copies is net one-tenth of the security de manded, and many firms pay their run ning expenses with the money received as deposits." New Yerk Evening Bun.

YORK DclegatM rreas Alt Parts f & World Wilt Clasp Mantis la Ota Matrepallt. BrlaT Bkatahra of DUtlBgulthtd Maltte dlsta rurpesas of the Convantlem. On the first day of May next the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church will cenvene in New Yerk. Dele gates from all ever the world will be in attendance, and many men famous for Wisdom and eloquence will be nmeng the number. Norway, Sweden, Germauy, Switzerland, India, China, Japan, and the continent of Africa will all be represented. The general conference is held ence every four years, the lest one having convened at Philadclpliia In lbU4. There will be between 400 and GOO delegates present, beside n host of visitors, and the question was at first te find n place large cueugh te accommodate the throng. The Metropoli tan Opera house was finally chosen, and this, it is expected, will furnish ample room. The session will undoubtedly con tinue through the entire month of May, as many questions of a weighty nature ere te be discussed. Foremost among these will be the elec tion of new bishops te fill the vacancies left by the deaths of Bishops Simpsen, Harris and Wiley. It is probable also that several new episcopacies will be cre ated. Seme of the present bishops ere advanced in years, and need assistance in their arduous labors. Bcslde this, tne question will probably arise as te the ex pediency of establishing resident episco pacies In Europe, India, China and Japan. The colored Methodists will urge their old plea for a bishop of their own race, but thev will be met bv the usual ever whelming resistance. As the Methodist church is organized, no one bishop has priority ever another, excepting in point of age. Nene have especial jurisdiction ever nny particular territory. The world is their Held, and they go about from country te country in turn, supervising the conferences and establishing harmony in the church. Fer this reason it Is ex pected that the preposition te establish foreign episcopacies will meet with con siderable opposition. At the last general conference a mis sionary bishop was given te Africa, but it waa aa innovation net likely te be re peated. He is the only missionary bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church, and does net held the same rank as his broth ers. It Europe, India, China and Japan are voted episcopacies, the holders will be endowed with the same authority us our own bishops. Before the election of bishops, hewever, the conference will listen te report regarding the condition of the church from every part of the world; committees will be appointed, questions of church discipline will be ad justed and new general measures aug Bested. In the last two or three confer ences Dr. Daniel Curry waaIoeked upon aa the, leading spirit. His death leaves the field open te a number of able men. The man best adapted te fill the position is said te be Dr. James M. Bulkley, the editor of The Christian Advocate. He is still in the prime of life. . As a skilled de bater he has few equals, for he possesses one of these clear, logical minds which can grasp a subject in all its ramifications almost by Instinct. He has been a lead ing member of the general conferences of 1872, 1870, 1880 and 1884. His father was a Methodist preacher, who gave bis son all the advantages of education that lay in his power. At first he was sent te the Pennington seminary, but his educatleu was completed at Wesleynn college, Con necticut. After his graduation he studied theology for some time, until he was re ceived en trial at the New Hampshire conference. He at once took rank as an eloquent preacher. After making n trip te Enrope in 1803 he resumed his minis terial labors and rose rapidly into prom inence. His fame as a writer is known throughout the country, his editorial work en The Christian Advocate being especially noteworthy. He is the author of several small works entitled "An Ap peal te Persons of Benie and Reflection te Begin n Christian Life," "Modern Mira cles" and "The Theatre." He has also figured successfully as n lecturer. Anether man who is likely te appear prominently in the coming cenference is Dr. J. M. Reid, corresponding secretary of the missionary society. He is far past the summer of his life, being nearly 03 years of age. Dr. Reld is a native of New Yerk city, ne graduated with high hon ors at the New Yerk university in his 10th year. He joined the New Yerk con ference in 1814, and very early in his min istry commanded imiertnnt appointment. In 1838 he was elected president of Gen esee college, nt Lima, N. Y.; in 1801 he became editor of The Western Christian Advocate, nnd four years later was ap pointed editor of The Northwestern Chris tian Advocate. He was chosen mission ary secretary In 1873 with Drs. Dashlel and Eddy. He has survived them both. As nn author he Is widely known by his scholarly work entitled "Deemed Rellg- KEV. J. M. KEID. n. B. ItUST. KLV. J. U. BDLKLKy. DH. A. J. KTKLTT. ions." Ills personal appearance Is strik ing. In form tall and well built, of full habit, sunny ceuntenance and dignified bearing, be Is a marked figure vtherevcr he gees. In the cenference of 1884 he distinguished himself as an able speaker. Dr. Alpha J. Kynctt, corresponding secretary et the beard of church extension, is mentioned ns a posslble cnndldate' for a bishopric, ne was born in Adams county, Pa,, Aug. 12, 1629, and while quite jeung his parents moved te the west and settled in Iowa. In 1851 he was admitted into the Iowa conference. He rapidly roae from that time and filled many Important appointments. In 1804 he was appointed corresponding secretary et the Upper Iowa Church Extension society, during which flme he succeeded In relieving many embarrassed churches, and deveted much of his time te improving the style of church architecture. Dr. Kynett was s member et the general con'erenco et 1804, and then brought forward his plan for church extension. Elnce 18C7, when he succeeded Dr. Menree te his present position, he has been the leading authority en the subject. He was re-elected in the general conferences of 1808, 1872, 1870, 18S0 nnd 1881. Ne strenger proof could be adduced of his able management of the department under bis charge. He Is re garded as one et the best business men in the church. One et the most popular men in the general conference of 1881 wns Dr. Richard Butten Ruit, secretary et the Freedmen's Aid society. He will be a member et the coming cenference. In stature he is a little above the medlnm height, of full habit, vigorous frame, and possessed et a countenance beaming with benevolence. HU manners are free and affable, and his companlenablo uature renders him a universal favorite. His friends hope te see him elected te an episcopacy during the May conference. Dr. Rust was born at Ipswich, Massrrnnd at an early age was left an orphan. He prepared for college at the Phillips acad emy, Andover, and graduated from Wes leyau college In 1841. A year afterward ne became principal et Ellington school. Three years after he graduated from col lege he joined the New England confer- "fc American Palpll tieeeequeftUy be was elected president of Wllber feres univer sity. Fer ever sixteen years he has been Identified with the Freedmen's Aid society, first as corresponding secretary of the western Freedmen's Aid society and after ward as secretary of the organisatien.

At pres ent he is the corresponding secretary of the Sunday Scheel Union and Tract soci ety. He is n capital speaker, a popular lecturer nnd a widely kuewn man. His name is familiar throughout the land, from Malno te California, as the author of scores of Sunday school books. Colerado will send an active and popu lar man te the conference la the person of Rev, Earl Cranston, the agent of the Western Boek concern. Hels a protege of Dr. William Tayler, the missionary btshep of Africa. At the age of 21 he graduated from the Ohie university, and the same year enlisted in the army. He came out of the civil war with the rank of n captain. Fer the past eight years he has been presiding elder of the Southern District of Colerado cenference, which em braces 70,000 square miles of territory. He 1ms been largely instrumental in pro moting the Denver university. He is a flne, preacher and hns considerable ex perience in flnnnclal matters. His friends in Colerado hepe te see him made a bishop during the coming confereuco. Dr. Charles C. McCnbe, familiarly known as Chaplain McCabe, en account of his having served in that capacity In the One Hundred and Twenty-second Ohie regiment during the civil war, is regarded as a sure candidate for a bishopric He was born in Athens, JO., Oct. 18, 1830. As a boy he seems te have been of a religious turn of mind, for it is said that he was converted at the age of 8 years. He was educated at the Ohie Wesleyan university. When the war broke out he entered ths Federal armyand was captured en tha battlefield of Winchester. His subsequent experience in Libby prison he has recited frequently before large audiences upon tha lecture platform. After his release he was prometea into tne service et me Christian commission, la whose interests he made large collections. When the war closed ha was appointed te pastoral work , at Portsmouth, O., where, through his efforts, a large and handsome church was erected. He subsequently served as agent and assistant correspondent, respectively, of the beard of church extension. The latter position he new holds. In connec tion with this work he has been emin ently successful in raising a lean fund. Eight care ege he was appointed by the beaul et bis eps te raise f 40,000 te pay debt en the Metropolitan church nt Wash ington. Within four years the work was successfully accomplished. His fine pres ence, magnetic speeches and extraordinary nht1ltfr an. n. vnrjiHut render him esnecl- Ally successful in this kind et work.

Missionary Bishop Will iam Tayler is the person referred te. Ne man in the Methodist church can show such a record of work as he. He has labored all ever the world. After joining the Baltimore cenference in 1813 he traveled consecutively the following cir cuits: Deer field, Flncastle and Sweet Springs. He was two years stationed at Georgetown, D. C, nnd one year at North Baltimore Station. Fer seven years he labored in San Francisce, He then traveled at large ns an evangelist for flve years in the eastern states and In Canada. Afterward he went te Australia, laboring en the route for seven months in England nnd Ireland. He has been throughout Eurepe and has explored Palestlne and the pyramids of Egpt. New Zealand, the Australian colonies nnd Tasmania have heard his voice. He has brought thou sands et Africans te bcllove In Christ. He has been In all the West India islands, in British Guiana, In Seuth America. In the Indian empire he has performed miracles, establishing in less than four years churches lu Bombay, Poenah, Cal cutta, Madras and Bangalore. Ne evangelist et modern times can equal him. His' work has. been nmrvcleusly successful wherever he has gene, nnd it is prebable that the cenference when it' meets-next-spxing wm reward bis services by electing htm a resident bishop. One et the strangest characters who will attend the cenference is Sla Sek Ong, the Chinese delegate. He will appear in the assemblage in full Oriental costume. He is described as man et commanding presence, and is said te be an eloquent speaker. Japan will be represented by Rebert & Makay, director of Tokie E wa-Gakke college. Orlglu r the Dllxsard.

Tlie Bewera of l'arl, The idea of keeping the sewers clean had net thoroughly penetrated the minds, of the engineers early in the century, nnd in none of the smaller ones was it possible te stand erect. Many were built tee near the surface, and It was sometimes neces sary te climb a ladder te get into them. In every case they were of solid masonry. Until quite lately the ParU sewers were built entirely of cut stone or partly of cue stene and partly of a soft, excessively porous stone called in en lie re. It is in tended in future te build-entlrcly of mcu Here. The manner et using It is this: A great trench Is dug, in w hlch n wooden frnme is placed, the tlze and shape of the desired twf, The mouliere is placed about this frame nnd n concrcte ma4e et the bes cement Is applied In such a man ner ns te HU solidly all the cavities et the stene and make a durable wall impervious te moisture. The frame is removed and the trench' filled up as seen as the concrcte is sufficiently hardened. Paris Cor. San Franclste Chronicle, IT Mete Peaeeek Peatfcar Until within a few years only a small number et even the wealthiest person, especially In America, felt that they could afford te Include peacocks among their pets. The feathers w ere costly, and every woman prided herself upon the possession of n few in her bennet. It she were for tunate enough te have a fan made of these feathers sbe felt proud Indeed. Gradu ally, as the hunters secured larger quan tities, wealthy people began te use (hem for decorative purposes. Elegant screens, some with the feathers spread thinly en a sloth surface, and ethers, which were mere costly, with the feathers closely sewed together; fans with sliver handles, sofa cushions and chair seats were made et the brilliant plumage. The feathers were even used in the decoration et walls, and for friezes and dadoes. But suddenly, and apparently without cause, the demand ceased. The feathers that had previously been the Jey of the owner, were looked upon with dlstoste and pronounced out et fashion. They were ruthlessly tern from the hats they had adorned, from walls and screens, and thrown Inte the rubbish heaps. Whence came this sudden and unex plained dislike? The reporter was told that an ancleut superstition te tlie effect that peacocks and peacocks' feathers were sure te bring bad luck te their owner had been rovived and had brought alraut the downfall et the fashion. He made in quiries at the stores where peacock feath ers were formerly supplied, ami found that the demand ter thsm had ceased en tirely. At Tiffany's it was sold that they had net sold a fan or screen et peacock feathers for several years. Customers never ask for them. The reporter was in formed at ether houses that feathers that formerly sold nt high prices can new be obtained for twenty-five, fifty and soventy seventy soventy flve cents a bunch. A number et impor ters said that they were used very little. New Yerk Sun. Tha Initlnet of Leadanulp. While, te make a great captain, all the mental and physical qualities must exist In the greatest possible strength, varieties of these in combination, te a greater or less degree, have bean possessed by gen erals et less or greater repute in the world's history, and the number and in tensity of these qualifications in the com bination gtve the general his relative place in the list et great soldiers. Seme generals are only brilliant upon the battle field, and seme even only in particular phases of a battle, though they may pos sess certain qualities of n great leader te an extent which amounts, in its way, te an exhibition of genius as great as any great captain has ever shown. The. partjcular quality which niftde Na Na eoleon seize the colors nnd iuclte his troops te fellow him at the bridge of Areola is well worthy of attention as being, at times, a most important factor in a battle. Alexander and Henry of Navarre, were leaders whose personal power en ths battle field may be said te have directly Influenced, many et their victories. Many et Napeleon's lieutenants had this instinct et leadership; Lanncs and Maasena te en eminent degree. Washington showed, it in the power et his personal presence te change a retreat into nn attack, and Scott mode a brilliant display of it nt the battle et Lundy'a Lane. The civil war shows but little of this dlVine gift. Gen. C. F. Smith may be said te have had the genius et battle highly developed in him, as was conspicuously shown nt the battle of Fert Donclsen. It is net always given te genius te succeed in these efforts. Na Na eoleon failed nt the battle of Arcels, though it is possible that the desperate fighting around his person en the cause way kept the enemy closely employed until another foreo had taken the town in rear, and that, therefore, his act secured his great victory.

In contrellng the movements et do mestic animals by the voice, besides words et ordinary import, man uses a variety et peculiar terms, calls and inarticulate soundsnet te include whistling which vary in different localities. Iu driving yoked cattle and harnessed horses, team sters cry "get up," "click, click1 (tengue against teeth), "gee," "haw," "whoa," "whoosh," "back," etc., in English speaking countries; "crre," "arri," "Juh," "gle," etc, in European coun tries. In the United States "gce" directs the animals away from the driver, hence te the right; but in England the same term has the opposite effect, be cause the driver walks ou the right hand slde et his team. In Virginia, mule driv ers gee the animals with the cry "hey-yce-ec-a." In Norfolk, England, "whoosh "wheosh "whoesh wo;" in France, "hue" nnd "Iiuhaut;" in Germany, "hett" nnd "hottei" in some parts of Russia "halta" serve the same purpose. Te direct animals te the left, another series et terms is used.
