s&~ A Washington correspondent
thus sketches four prominent Unit
ed States Senators Howe. Carpen-
ter, Schurz and Conking:
"The states of Wisconsin, Illinois,
Indiana and Missouri rank nearly
equal in the ability Of their senatori-
al delegation.
Senator Timothy 0. Howe comes
from Livermore, Maine, the home Of
the numerous Washburne family
He is fifty-four years old, tall, slen,
der, graceful man, with silver-grey
hair, a genial address, and is well
grounded in tie law He is said to
be expectant of a seat on the Su-
preme Bench of the United States,
in the case Of a vacancy, as are also
Conkling and Edmunds. Matt Carr
penter ranks, as o debater, with Thur.
man, Conkling and Sehurz. These
four are different in style, Conkling
comparing with Carpenter. Perhaps
the strongest impromptu debate in
the Senate would be had, if there
were occasion for it, between Schur2
and Thurman. These two latter are
acute, well-read men, and are very
wary of each other Carpenter is a
brilliant debater and speaker, with
humorous affinites. Conkling speaks
best under the influence Of strong re-
sentiment or dislike He has the
sharpest tongue OF any man in the
Senate since John Randolph.

so5- A warm friendship, says New
York letter, exists between two lead
ing editors of this city, belonging to
rival sheets and utterly opposed in
politics. 1 refer to Horace Greeley,
of the Iribnne, and Ivory Chamber
lain, of the World. Though indulg-
ing in the most violent political war
fare, hurting scathing phillipios
against each other in public, they are
in their social intercourse, and have
been for years, on terms of the clos
est intimacy. Every Sunday, nearly,
you will find the veteran editor of
the Tribune enjoying the hospitality
of his contemporary of the World, at
his delightful home on Forty-second
street, and Miss Chamberlain and the
Misses Greeley, Ida and Gabrielle,
are inseparable companions,and many
are the summer days they roam to-
gather through the woods on the GEL
ebrats I'd farm at Chappaqua.

EA-Since Satan was kicked out oil
Heaven, there hasn't been such an
extraordinary tumblelas this ofJames
Hammond. Jr', in Providence. Be-

toxicated, he went over the railing
and down circular stairway of the
Arnold Block, breaking q 22-inch rail
of iron by hitting it with his head.
and smashing through a skyIight in
to a tailor's shop. He was taken up
senseless and carried home, when il
turned o1t that he was not seriously
hurt, only "a little Sore" The es-
cape of this man from instant death
is declared to be wonderful, and ON
ly to be accounted for by the fact
that he was in balmy condition
when he went over. This, however.
cannot be considered an argument
in favor of excessive drinking. be-
cause, but for the drinking, this in
voluntary acrobat wouldn't have
pitched over at all.

for the people who wish 20 cultivate
their lands in the burned district OF
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan
on our border. We also ask manu.
tacturers to present wagons, ploughs
and other necessary farming tools,
which many of those unfortunate
people must have, and depend upon
the charity of those who have not
suffered as they have suffered. We
would advise the organization Of
town committees to canvass and col,
lect seeds, have them put up in strong
packages, each one distinctly mark
ed, "for seed" and direction.
Wanted grass seed by the 18th Of
February next, spring wheat, spring
rye, oats and garden seeds by 18th of
March, potatoes by 10Th Of April, as
they must be protected from FROST
Each district should see that all seeds
are well cleaned, as the farmers in
the burnt district have no means Of
doing it. These seeds can be sent to
the relief committee at either Mil.
waukee or Green Bay, as is most
convenient, and at the expense of
the committee, making as low con-
tract price for their delivery as pos
sible.
Probably a thousand plows will be
needed for the people who have lost
them by fire. We make this last ap-
peal to the benevolent people of Wis
consin, with a desire TO place the un-
fortunate people OF the burned dis-
trict in selfssustaining position.
