incense under his face. ate his dinners,

that Phil Sheridan killed lot of sick squawS

robes and ponies. The robes contained the
virus of the smallpox, and they were con-
cealed for time, but finally got into the

now to be doing more to defeat corruption
in Congress than any Senator ever has done

promise of every Democratic member to vote
for the resolution declaring the Goat lslanc

that ought not to pass. When the resolu

and it passed by a handsome majority. II
was he that made the great, telling
speech that killed the Goat Island grab be-

CuN,;isLSs DEAD.

The forty second Congress OF the United
States adjourns on NJ pnd,y night next, and
the whole people of the country will rejoice
At the political death of this corrupt body OF
men. Not all its members were fascals, but
we arc safe in saying and the country in be-
levng that the majority were and are cor
rupt villains. 1t is notorious fact thai
though the brazen rascality of Ames, Brooks,
Kelly, Bingham, Garfield and others have
been publicly exposed on evidence that would
hang murderer, yet there are not honest
members enough left in the House to expel
them. What a comment on the American
Congress! Ames goes into Congress and
buys enough members to pass measure
swinlng the Government out of 900 900,
and when the crime is proved on him, he
sits with his face to the Speaker and says,
YOU can't turn me out, know too much Of
the rascality Of a minority of the members
on this floor, and they must stand by me or
will peach on evry one of them. This is ii
most Horrible state of things, and yet it is
true to the shame of every Republican in the
land. Out Of twenty or thirty OF the worst
of,thcse villains but one Democrat is found
and that is James Brooks, of New York,
and Of him we say, kick him out, he is a
dirty creature, without drop Of Democratic
blood in his veins Let the Republicans say
and do this with their scores Of worse vii
lains, and then and only then can the people
see hope in the future.

In the production of newspaper.
what an expenditure of time, money.
labor and Judgment is required Very
few readers have an idea of the trouble
and cost of producing the closely-print-
ed sheet which lies upon their breakfast
table every morning. By day and night
hundreds of persons are watching for
facts and events which they may report
All over the metropolis, and throughout
the length and breadth of the land
there are observant newspaper CORE
spondents, whom nothing escapes. Any
noteworthy occurrence is duly reported,
and anything special is transmitted by
telegraph. How soon does the public
mind become used to marvels A curl
GUS fact concerning journalism is not
known to the general public. 1t is no.
ticeable that whenever an eminent per-
son dies, biographies of his or her life
spring up like mushrooms all over the
country, apparently being the work of a
night Not so, however. The biograph-
les of all leading politicians, and of all
Inen and women eminent in the walks of
literature, science and art, as well as of
foreign monarchs, statesmen and public
characters, are prepared and kept in
readiness, additional facts being ap-
pended from time to time so that at
last, when tidings of death arrive, all
that has to be done is to give the final
particulars. When England was SO ter
ribly agitated by the sudden and critical
illness of the Prince of Wales, which
occurred in the latter part of the year
1872, some of the leading journals We're
unprepared with memoirs, and these
had to be written in hot haste. In sew
eral cases they were actually set up and
kept IN readiness for instant use those
dreadful days and nights when the royal
sufferer was momentarily expected to
breathe his last, and when, indeed, it
was scarcely known whether life was
extinct If some of our prominent men
could penetrate into the editorial arcana,
and peruse the critiques upon them
selves or their career destined for i'm
mediate publication after their death,
they might find entertainment and learn
a few wholesome truths. The story is
told that the late Lord Brougham once
had false rumor of his death circulat-
ed, in order to crafty himself by read
ing what the newspapers said of him,
but that a contradiction got abroad in
those pre-telegraph days before the
memoirs could be completed and issued,
so that the morbid desire was only graf
flied in few cases, and these were not
very complimentary.

Romance of Medicine.

Under this title an article in London
Society includes the ensuing prof ession-
al anecdotes:
We know of medical man whose
duty 1t is to take lunch every day at
great castle belonging to noble lord.
The household is immense, and there is
just the chance that there may be some
case of indisposition demanding atten-
ton. He gets some of the best COM
pany and some of the best lunches in
England, and duly charges guinea for
each attendance. There is very
wealthy man, near great city, who
cannot bear to be left for the night.
There is physician of great ability
who drives out of town nightly to sleep
at his residence he is consequently de-
barred evening society, and if he goes
out to dinner, he has to leave his friends
before wine. He has to charge his pa
tlent thousand year, and I think he
earns bis money. Sometimes the SER
vices are such that money cannot repay
them. A friend of mine, Young medi-
Gus, had standing engagement of four
hundred year to look after the health
OF an old lady. She required to be in
spected three times day, and made an
exhibition of her tongue and pulse.
What made things SO aggravating was
that she was as strong as horse, while
the doctor was delicate man. She
was so selfish and perverse that he was
obliged to tell her that he would have
nothing to do with her case. Similarly.
know the son of a rich man, who pro-
posed to pay clergyman several hun
dred pounds year for leave to spend
his evenings with him. The parson.
however, was obliged to tell his rich
friend that he talked such intolerable
twaddle that he could not accept his
company on any terms that could be
named. But the oldest of these ar
rangements is the following: A medi-
cal man has been attending patient
several years, and yet he has never seen
his patient. The gentleman firmly be-
Leves that he has an oesophagus of pc
cullar construction, and that he is. ac-
cordingly, liable at any moment to be
choked. That help may be at hand
when any sudden emergency may occur,
he has physician in the house night
and day. The physician, being human,
must needs take his walks abroad, and
1t becomes necessary to provide sub
stitute for him two hours day. Ac-
cordingly doctor attends daily from
twelve to two, fills up his time by dis
posing of an admirable lunch, and finds
the gold and silver coin, in their usual
happy combination, neatly put up by
his plate, in tissue paper. Up to the
present date he has never had the pleas
ure of exchanging words with his inter
esting patient.

Number of Shingles i'm Roof.

j. d. Tate gives to the New York
Farmers Club rule for estimating the
number of shingles required for roof
of any size-one which he thinks every
mechanic and farmer should remember.
First find the number of square inches
IN one side of the roof; cut off the right
hand or unit figure, and the result will
be the number of shingles required to
cover both sides of the roof, laying five
inches to the weather The ridge board
provides for the double courses at the
bottom. Illustration Length of roof,
100 feet width of one side, 80 feet
100x30x144 900. Cutting of the
right hand figure we have 80, 200 as the
number of shingles required.
