Thb work of some of the Congress
men iMmi to b that of introducing
pension bills.
a.
Twxtt thousand tons of maat are
eaten in a month bj the inhabitants
of London England.
Two Democratic members of Con
gress hare introduced, each, a bill,
to repeal the ciTil serrice reform act
Sx.iAToa Gzosgi F. Edxuxds, of
Vermont, has been chosen President
pro tempore of the United States
Senate.
PiowJt that conducted the Dauph

for further particulars.
A Cosobessmah from Illinois pro
poses to give a pension to the widow
of every deceased soldier. His name
is Thomas. There is no "doubting
Thomas" about him, he is in for the
widows.
Tbi editor of the Philadelphia
Call is scratching his head and is
puzzled to find out bow the scientists
can tell that the earth is 50,000,000
years older than Adam and can't tell
what causes the red sunsets.
Thi Democratic party in Ohio has
strnck ile, and put H. B. Payne a
Standard Oil Company man forward
for the United States Senate instead
of Senator Pendleton. Pendleton
claimed to be in favor of civil aer
ice reform. "Ile" with the Democ
racy in the Buckeye State is more in
Sciential than civil service reform.
Mcsic has more powers than will
send a rook or burst a cabbage, it has
brought abont a great dissension in
Mr. Beechcr's church, in Brooklyn,
and the organist has resigned. The
trouble is about music methods. They
have been having congregational
singing, and many of the congrega
tion want a change, want choir sing
ing. The North American considers it
rather odd that ten years ago the Jay
Cook failure was caused by the enor
mous efforts of tLat honse for the
development of the resources and
the trade of Minnesota as the eastern
terminus of the Northern Pacific
Railroad and now, ten years after
wards, when the read is completed,
the Villard failure is caused by the
herculean exertions of Villard to de
velop the resources and the com
merce of Oregon as the western ter
terminns of the same great railroad.
'bs the soldiers were in the army
against Rebellion there was not gold
and silver enongh in the country to
pay them. Government paid them
in paper money; The paper money
at that time was depreciated, now, a
wild Congressman from Iowa comes
forward and proposes to issue five
hundred million dollars in treasnrs
notes with which to pay the soldiers,
t" make rtp the difference between a
dollar greenback and a coin dollar
during the time of war. He also
proposes to pay 8 per cent interest
from the time the paper money was
paid, to this time.
Thb trial of James Nutt for the
shooting of Dukes who shot the el
der Nutt while he was seeking to
maintain the honor and good name
of his daughter, is still in progress
at Pittsburg. The defence put in
for James Nutt by his lawers is that
of emotional insanity. If the purpose
of Nutt's lawyers is to use the ma
chinery of the court to humiliate
Nutt they have succeeded admirably,
by putting in the plea of insanity.
There is no honorable vindication in
nuch a course or plea. When James
Nutt shot Dukes the defamer of his
sister and the murderer of his father
he did what a sane man would do, and
precisely what an insane man would
not do.
Tbi American hog dees not lack
for friends and champions at Wash
ington. Congress again had the mat
ter under discussion, and adopted a
resolution calling upon the President
to lay before it any official commun
ication upon the subject which may
throw a light upon the situation.
This energy of investigation is intel
ligible, as our preparations of pork
have unquestionably been treated a
broad in a very unjust and neighbor
ly manner. The game our French
friends have been playing is however
one in which two people can take a
hand, and if they refuse to eat our
pork we can very reasonably decline
to drink their wines or wear their
silks. If that course were pursued,
they wonld quickly be brought to
terms. North American.
Thk North American says the work
ing men who propose to organize an
independent labor party upon the
platform of protection to American
industry bad better save their pains.
They have nothing to gain from tLe
course they propose to pursue, and
they possibly have something to lose.
In demanding protection for their la
bor thpy are wholly in the right, and
Bhow their good sense; bnt they
would make a sad find perhaps a fa
tal mistake were they to attempt in
dependent action in the premises.
There is no necessity for ta work
ing men of this country to organize
a protective party. The Republican
party is at all times ready to give
them all the protection they seed,
and their wisest policy ia give the
Republicans in turn their heartiest
support They will only be playing
into the hands of their free-trade en
emies if they insist upon setting np
in business for themselves.

A wistbbh paper tells, as follows,
how the Chines evade law to pre
vent the coming of Chinese laborers
to this country. The present law
doesn't work.
"Those truileless Chinese evade it
not onlv without trouble, but with
positive profit to themselves, There
sn t a eteamenip comes into oan
Francisco harbor irom Uumese ports
which does not brine a lot of Chinese
laborers. How do they get on shore
Why, the companies simply dress
them up in silk costumes and bring
witnesses before the iudce of the
United States district court to swear
that everv mother's son of them is
trader.' There's no way of keeping
them out when that is done, and they
are marched off to the companies'
pens, stripped of their fancy cos
tumes, and hired out to do any kind
nf labor. The comnanies make some
money, too, by smuggling it the
6i lk dresses wbicn tney cover u-ese
coolies with in order to get them past
the collector of the port. I don't
know of any way of preventing this
evasion of tae law except by mating
a new one. The companies can get
all the witnesses they want, and there
is no one to swear against them.
White men cannot, for they know
nothing about it, and Chinamen dare
not. The government did employ
one intelligent uninaman to investi
gate thasa caaas. but he had to flee
for his life and he dare not come
near San Francisco for fear that hi
countrymen there will kill him. The
government will Lav to try more
than once before it corners the Chi-
Horror of Horrors.
Brapfobd. Pa., January 15. A
stream of waste oil flowing from a
tank across the Bradford, Bordell

windows landing in the snow. A re
lief train with smgeons and cots
were dispatched to the 6cena. Upon
arrival at the scene a terrible sight
presented itself. The passenger

that only three persons, all women,
were burned to d. nth.

Pancakes Cooked bt Liqhtxi.no.
Some partis in Canada are reported
to have invented a machine for oooking
by eleotnoity. It consists of a ssues
pan or bot plate so ieaolated by boo
conductors that tbe bottom forms the
positive pole of a eurrent. The other
pole is attaohed to a moveable point,
which travels over tbe under surfs- of
tbe pan ia circles sufficiently uick
not to barn a bole through. Some
ciksi were eooked io the apparat and
eateo by tbe inventor and his fajiily to
be tbe first members of tbe human raoe
who bav eaten food by tbe electrie
(park. One lady declared sbe tasted
the flavor of electricity "quite strong."
Congressional Fcneral Expen
ses. The coat of burying' dead mem-
but of Lungreae is constantly luoreas
ing. It bid fair to rtaoh such propor
tions that tbe people will come to pre
fer ao average living Congressman with
all his faculty for doing mischief to a
dead one and bis bills.
This cost varies according to States.
While so Indiana statesman's obteauiet
eost $1,500. those of an Ohio man on
ly reached $1,100. Tbe Illinois vari
ety appears to be the not expensive,
tbe bill in a recent case footing op$3r
100. It required forty-two pairs of
kid gloves, at a eost of $95 ; $240 for
silk sashes. $150 for meals of attend
ing colleagues, $33 for A poll in aria wa
ter and $175 for miscellaneous articles,
betides $426 for a funeral easktt.
It is no doubt proper to give tbe av
erage living Congressman five times as
moob money as be eould earn in bis
business, with perquisites added ; bot
scarcely seems ncoetaary to carry tbit
pomp and display beyond the tomb

A Maine newspaper states that the
little town of Sebec, at the outlet of
Sebfcc Lake, Piscataquis county, in
the interior, has one of the beat wa
ter powers in the State, but has nev
er been fully developed. A tooth
pick factory there is doing a large
business, using over a thousand cords
of poplar and birch wood annually,
turning out a two-horse load of tooth
picks daily, and employing from
twelve to fifteen girls and eight or
ten men. A private letter from the
place states what the newspaper
omitted, teat "the tooth-pick mill
gives employment to as many girls aa
can afford to pack a hundred boxes
for twenty-five cents, and feed them
selves." The little stream was dammed and
utilized for a fulling-mill, grist-mill,
and saw mill sixty years ago ; later
for a shingle and clapboard mill, and
more than forty years ago a woolen
cloth manufactory waa erected there,
which, within the past year, has prov
ed a failure, tbe company offering fif

Columbia, Pa, January 16. Irwin
I Eckert met with a terrible death
this morning while attending to bis
dntiea as miller at the flouring mill
of Joseph btnckler, which i located
about two milea south ef Wrighta-
vill. His ufaless body waa diaoovar-
el between 10 ami 11 o'clock this
morning by two man who had gone
to the mill on business. When found
it was wrapped around the horizon
tal shaft of one of the bolts. The
men were unable to stop the machin
ery and were obligexl to go half a
mile io procure assistance. The ma
chinery was then stopped and the
mangled remains removed. Both
lege and arms and several ribs were
broken and the skull fractured. It
is belivd that the clothing of the
unfortunate man, who was alone at
the time, was caught by the shaft
while he was attending to something
about it and that he was whirled a-
round on it until life was beaten from
the body. Deceased waa only twenty-three
year of age and unmarried.
He has relativea residing in and a

accident waa carried by the man who
discovered the body to the farm-house
