How a Tennessee Congressman Won
1'nviir with :i Constituent.
From, the Washington Post.
"In one of my races for congress,"
said Representative Cox, of Tennessee,
nt the Metropolitan, "the lines were
drawn very tlcht between my compet
itor and myself, and the partisans of
both were worked up to a pitch of ex
citement in every county In the dis
trict. In some localities n good deal
of bad feeling had been engendered and
personal dllUeultles were dally expect
ed. One day when I was filling an ap
pointment to address the people a tall,
heavy-built fellow with a bad eye and
a general look as If he were out for
blood came up to me and said in a loud
and positive tone:
" 'Cox, I want to have a little talk
with you.'
"I knew that he was an active sup
porter of my opponent, and also that he
was a man of very determined charac
ter. Wondering what he had to, say
to me, and withal being a little anx
ious on account of his rough, not to
say thieatenlng manner, 1 walked away
with him to some little distance from
the crowd. Then I stopped and told
him 1 was ready to hear anything he
had to say.
" 'See here. Cox; I am going to put a
plain question to you, and If you an
swer It square everything will be all
right between us; If you don t every
thing will be nil wrong. Now, If you
will promise me to vote agin that
dog law, I will vote for you and make
all my friends support you. Is it u
bargain'.''
'I assured him that If there was one
measure that I hated worse than any
other It was this odious dog law, and
that when I not to Washington, I'd
light it to the death. He kept his
promise, and, as I afterwards heard,
worked loyally to help elect me. I
don't know whether or not he got more
light on the subject subsequently, and
discovered that it was the Tennessee
legislature, instead of congress, that
had jurisdiction over the don law, but,
anyway, If he ever found out his mis
take he didn't reveal the fact to me."

From the Baltimore Sun.
Tradition says that John oust, one
of the three Inventors of printing, wns
charged with multiplying books by the
aid of the devil, and was both prosecut-s
ed by thu authorities and persecuted
by the people. The ribbon loom Is an
Invention of tho sixteenth century, and,
on the plea that It deprived many work
men of bread, It was prohibited In
Holland, in Germany, In the dominions
of the churdh and In other countries
of Europe. At Hamburg the authori
ties ordered n ribbon loom to be public
ly burned. The stocking loom shared
tho fate of the ribbon loom. In England
the patronage of Queen Elizabeth was
requested for the Invention, but the
Inventor was Impeded rather than as
sisted in his undertaking. In France
opposition to the stocking loom was of
the most base and cruel kind. A
Frenchman who adopted the Invention
manufactured by the loom a pair of
silk stockings for Louis XIV. They
were presented to the monarch, but the
puitles who supplied hosiery to the
court caused several of the loops of
the stockings to be cut, and thus
brought the stocking loom into dis
repute at headquarters.
Table folks appear so necessary a
part of furniture of a dinner table that
one can scarcely bellve that the tables
of the sixteenth century were destitute
of them. They were not, however. In
troduced Into- England until the com
mencement of the seventeenth century,
and then were ridiculed ns effeminate
and supeiiluous. The sawmill was
brought Into England from Holland In
NiGD, but the attempt to build one sg
displeased the English that the enter
prise was abandoned. A second' at
tempt was made a ft;w years later and
a mill was actually erected, but soon
after It was pulled down by a mob. Pot
tery Is glazed by throwing common talt
Into the oven at a certain stage of the
baking. This mode of baking was ln
tioduced into England In 1G1K) by two
brothers, who came from Staffordshire
from Nuremburg. Their success and
their secrecy so enraged their neighbors
that persecution aiose against them an 1
they were compelled to give up their
works. The pendulum was invented by
Galileo; but so late as the end of the
seventeenth century, when Hooke
brought It forward as a standard, of
measure, It was ridiculed and passed
by the nickname of "swing-swang."
Papln In France and Fulton In this
country both encountered the strongest
popular opposition when they produced,
in their respective kinds, the first
steamboats. The little vessel launched
on the Hudson In 1S07 was popularly
called" Fulton's Folly." Its Inventor has
left us his written testimony that not
a single person ever mane an encour
aging lemarlrto him about It while he
was constructing It. llargreaves, who
Invented the tlrst spinning jenny in 17C3,
saw his machine smashed by his fellow
workmen for his trouble nnd had to fly
for his life from his native town. The
Introduction of railroads and ' steam
locomotives furnishes another chapter
of the same kind. The great Chancellor
Livingston of New York wrote a letter
demonstrating the impossibility of
building a practicable railroad in the
United States. Daniel Webster also
went on record as strongly doubting
whether a railroad could be built that
would work. In his opinion the frost
on the rails would either prevent the
train from moving or from being stop
ped if It did move. When Murdoek dis
covered the secret of illuminating gas
he was mercilessly guyed by another
Inventor, Sir Humphrey Davy, and also
by Sir Walter Scott, who, neveitheless,
lived to light his own house with gas.
The starting of the first steam printing
press in the office of the London Times
came near to causing a riot. There are
still many people who believe that ma
chinery, by .superseding certain foims
of hand labor, has been Injurious o the
mnss of working people. The sewing
machine was fervently prayed against
in hundreds or American homes.

A more melancholy chapter might
be written of the Inventions that might
have blessed mankind, but have been
suppressed for one reason or another.
Their number Is unknown, but It Is un
questionably .very large. Thirty years
ago or more It was claimed that a lo
comotive had been built for use on 1 all
roads which would consume Its own
smoke and throw off the cinders. It
was said to have been tested, and found
nil right, it was also declared to be
applicable to factory chimneys. Yet
we are still going along with our rail
road locomotive and our factory chim
neys throwing off smoke, wasting fuel,
damaging property, fouling the air we
breathe and annoying everybody.
Verily, the way of the Inventor, equally
with that of the transgressor, Is hard.

From the Tlmes-IIorald.
We little think how much science
has done to check the progress of
pestilence that In ancient times, and
even within the recollection of persons
now llving.spread with terrible rapidity
from nation to nation, while the people
died like files In winter. Even as late
us the (list quarter of this century yel
low fever was a regular visitant of the
North Atlantic ports, while less than
thirty years atro cholera Indicted Chi
cago. Now yellow fever, except as It
appears In Isolated cases, Is unknown In
Shreveport. New Orleans and Memphis,
where within twenty years It has
claimed Its victims by the thousands,
while cholera, when It finds a breeding
ground In a European or American
city, Is speedily surrounded as It were
by a circle of fire and burned out as soon
as Its medium Is discovered. This very
plague that the rats of Hombay are
carrying through the clotted native
quarters Is no new scourge. Jt wns not
driven out of Europe till the eight
eenth century, and remote cases of the
disease have been reported on the con
tinent within seventy-five years.
The Indian plague Is merely another
protest of cleanly nature against filth.
Civilization Is soap and hot water,
and hot water, with or without soap, Is
the croat antiseptic. In India and
China the European residents who take
ordinary precautions are, in a great
degree, exempt from the pestilence.
They aro living up to the nineteenth
century standards, while the natives
are Inviting1 death by squatting down
amid surroundings perhaps a little mote
melancholy than those which were
common In Europe during the seven-
teeuth century. We have often thought
that the men of that day went so
much to war because they were glad
to get away from decidedly unpleasant
homes.
Of course, It would bo too hold to say
that America has experienced Its last
Agla commandery, No. 21 S, sent In
its application for. charter last week,
and will be instituted at Johnstown,
Cambria county, about March 1. It Is
made up of the leading business and
professional men of that city.
