of him and speak of running him for clerk Of
the circuit court. He would make a good
and efficient clerk, but for his ability as
legislator would much rather see him re.
main in the legislature of Alabama. He is
also president of the Laborer's Union OF
Dallas County, and has been for the last two

Hon. Joseph Goldsby was born in Dallas
County, Alabama, in lS49, slave, and has
somewhat more of the Caucasian than Afri-
can blood coursing through his veins. He is
handsome looking fellow with hazel eyes
and a prominent nose, weighing about one
hundred and fifty pounds. He acquired
some education before freedom, and has since
bettered it. None of the delegation from
Dallas are more highly respected and beloved
than Joseph Goldsby, His avocation is that
of farmer, and has "beefabout as success
full as any one in this community. He was
nominated by the Republicans and ran con-
sidcrably ahead of his ticket. He has but
little to say, but what he says is not wasted
in balderdash straight and pointed always );
true partisan, and ready to do anything
for the promotion of his party. 1t is said
that he made of the most effective canvasscs
ever made by anyone in Dallas, in 1872. If
am not mistaken in the signs of the roliti-
cal outlook, Goldsby will be retired from
Dallas to the legislature in 1874.
Hon. Henry Cochran, suppose was born
in Cork or Dublin don't know which, but if
appearances indicate anything they very
forcibly tell the tale upon our "Quaker"
representative. He came to Alabama from
Missouri in 1865, a captain in the United
States Army, and has been in some public
office ever since and is now Postmaster at
Selma, Alabama. He is independently
rich, don't ask any boot from anybody, and
is very much disliked by his party. have
seen several petition praying for his removal
from the Post Office.
Hon. Anderson Smith was born in North
Hampton County, N. c., in 1920. Was
elected to serve the uneXpired term of the
Hon. Alex. White, now a member of Con-
gress from the State at large. Mr. Smiths
education is quite limited, but a more clever,

cupola and conservatory erected all
over his face in nobby chunks, like a
show-head in a phrenologist's collection

young man was red-hot about.
Two voices belonging to two gentle

Fifty Years a Pauper.

In midwinter, some forty seven or forty
eight years ago, man by the name Of
Looms died in Pawlet, Vt, after long
sickness, leaving a wife and two children.
Expenses of sickness and loss Of the wages
for daily labor made inroads upon the
scanty stock Of money and provisions, and
the widow was compelled to ask temporary
assistance from the town. The high
officials refused her request, took her little
all, and threw her and the children upon
the town as paupers. In those days they
were bid off by citizens to the lowest bid
der but they have now a town-house.
Mrs. Loomis, with broken heart, and
worn out by attending to her husband dur
ing his long sickness, gave up long
cherished wishes, and remarked that the
town Of Pawlet should not want for a
pauper for fifty years. She is now ninety
seven or ninety eight years of age, and on
her last birthday made her annual visit
from the town-house to Pawlet, a distance
Of one and half miles, on foot, to visit
her old friends and neighbors, and she
laughingly remarks she will make good her
word, having to live only two years more
to do it.
Her children became respectable and
good housekeepers, and oftentimes offered
her a home, but she refused to az cept their
assistance. She had many offers of mar
riage, but refused them all, saying that
she would not 60 off the town Of Paw
let for any man living. On making the
remark that the town Of Pawlet would not
be without psuper for fifty years, said
she belonged to a family who never died
short Of one hundred years, and the ma
jority lived years beyond that Troy

The Woolwich Furnace.

The Royal Gun Factory, at Woolwich,
has been for some time past conspicuous
for It's efforts to economic fuel, both. for
steam and manufacturing purposes, and It
Is now possessed of a novelty in furnaces,
IN which the economy Of fuel is striking
feature. 1t is at present applied both to
reheatlng and pudding, and its consulIp-
ton Of fuel and yield Of iron taken III
scrupulous accuracy.
The saving of fuel is over period rising
to SIX months, average of forty per cent,
while the saving in settling in the pudding
furnace Is scarcely less remarkable. The
durability Of the furnace is also much
greater, and the provision against all ex-
cess of free air-the pestilent source Of
waste in the iron trade-is peculiar and
effectual in saving iron, whether in reheat-
ing or pudding. The plan on which the
furnace is constructed Is to provide an
ordinary furnace with an upcast at the rear
Of the existing combustion chamber, and
in contact with it. The products of com
bustion from the furnace are led INTO the
said upcast by passing either over, under,
or around the body of the furnace. In
the upcast Is placed a conical cast iron
tube In a vertical position, and between
the sides Of which and the upcast are
spaces for the free circulation Of the pro-
ducts, the heat of which is taken up by
