CURIOUS FEAT OF THE TELE-

gentleman suddenly became Ill
of pneumonia in Washington
city. His physician, a gentle
man of great attainments and
fame, resided in New Y York, k,and
he was anxious that his physi-
clan should be consulted about
his case. "a telegraph wire was
by hissdirection taken into his
room, and the New York doc
tor being summoned to the tele-

ington physician attending the
patient, informed him about the
state of the case, and enabled
him to feel has patients pulse by
causing the wire to vibrate as
the pulse did. The case thus
being thoroughly diagnosed in
New York, the necessary pre-
scription was sent to Wash
ington. The attack, though Vi
olent, soon yielded to the treat

They report that there is moth

many of the farmers are pre-

consider it unsafe to stay any

Among the contingent ex-
penses Of Congress are some
curious items. From an ac-
count, recently published in
the New York Tribune, it ap-
pears that the average cost to
the government Of burying a
member Of Congress is about
S1,50O. The arrest of Patrick
Nv oods, for knocking down a
Virginia Congressman, who re-
fused to drink with him, took
$50 from the contingent fund,
of which four dollars a day went
to keep the prisoner in provis-
ions during his incarceration.
Pat must have lived well, or
somebody made money by the
operation. The cost of bring
ing the recalcitrant witness,
Florence Scannel,. from New
York, was 1891. Would-be
members, who failed to estab-
lish any seat in the House, took
$51, 800 from the fund. The
Icarting of documents to and
from the House, cost 81, 800, at
81 per load. The cost Of board
at a New Orleans hotel is set
down at So per day, which is
the amount charged by. the sub
Committees Of Elections and
their messenger, for the three
months spent'in that city inves-
tigating the Louisiana election

two rear wheels Of about FIVE feet
IN diameter. The wagon carries
water tank and bins for wood and
coal. Besides the men who~fed
the furnace and the one who guild
ed the wagon, there were some
eight or ten persons aboard on its
way up town. Stumps and roots
were run over with ease, or avoid
ed by turning to one side as deX-

managed. The wagon started
from the boat with an insufficient
quantity of water in the tank, and
on arriving opposite DR.. Nichol
