TENNESSEE IN CONGRESS.

Tennessee has q rather better delega-
ton in Congress ahan usual; perhaps we
might say the best since the war. Whit
thorne and Atkins have seen considera-
BILE public service; Whitthorne and
Bright have both been favored with
places at the head of important com
mittees. None Of the ten in the iaeuse
are leaders, or likely to be, but they pos
sess an average of ability and ave an
average Of conservatism and sound COM
mon sense. We find our Representatives,
Oh committees as follows: In the Senate
-On Postofices and Postroads and on
Education and Labor. Senator Key;
on Territosies and on LeVees of the
Mississippi River, Senator Cooper.
10 the House-On Elections. John f.
House, OF the Sixth district; on Appro-
priations, J. D. C. Atkins, Eighth dis
trict; on Pscifc Railroad. J. d. C..
Atkins; on Public Lands, William Nc

Affairs, ]. NJ. Thornburg Republican).
Second district; on Chains, John NJ.

Naval Affairs, W. C. Whitthorne (chair-
NAM, Seventh district; on Public Build
ngs and Grounds, CASEY Young, Tenth
district; on Territories, w. P. Caldwell,
Ninth district; on Publ c Expenditures,
George G. Dibbrell, Third district; on
Mississippi Levees, Casty Young, Tenth

Dibbrell, Third district; Expenditures
ia the State Department, W. P. Cald-
well, Ninth district; Expenditures in the
Treasury Department, John NJ. Bright,
Fifth district; Expenditures in the De-
pArtment of Justice, John M. Bright.
The position Of Mr.. Atkins on the Ap-
preparations Committee is an important
one, bringing him next to Randall Of
Pennsylvania. Mr.. Whitthorne, as chair
man Of Naval Affairs Committee, has q
splendid position and will doubtless i'm.
prove the opportunity to expose the cor
ruptions Of that department thoroughly.
Upon him will devolve the duty of look.
ing into the recent extraordinary ex
penditures of Secretary Robson, al
though a foreign war ~impended. Col
Bright, it will be seen, is chairman o.
the Committee on Claims, and Mr.. At
kins has two important positions
Casey Young has been assigned Ia
rather important places for a new mem
Der, and viii doubtless have opportuni,
ties to develop his capacities. Consider
ing that there are two hundred and
seyenty-six members in the House and
forty-seven committees, Tennessee
comes in pretty well. We have about
mi member in twenty-eight in the
House at large, and about one in twenty,
four at the head OF committees. We
find in the list above that the Tennessee
members are well distributed. They
are found on about fifteen committees
ia the House and four in the Senate.
Thus far they have been merely prepsr.
ing for work and have not had the time
or opportunity to distinguish themselves
If they do SO in the course OF tue session
it will tell in their favor at the right
eime.

Mr.. 'Disraeli was dining with Baron
Rrothschild, when a telegram from Paris

that the Khedive had offered his shares

government, and that the parties we're at
that moment hsggling about the price.
Mr.. Disraeli suddenly raised bis head

Baron Immediately telegrsphed for the

millions sterling" I'VE will take them"

The safe arrival Of Lieutenant Came.
ron at st. Paul de Leonda on the west
coast of Africa, on the 10Th Of Novem.
Der last, is an interesting and important
event to those who take an interest in
the great geographical problems of
Africa. he started from Lake Tangan-
yika on bic journey across the continent
last May, aud until recently was heard
of 70 more. Great fears we're expressed
for his safety. The journey was one of
nnexampled length and dangers in Afri.
can travel. For months he and his
party we're lost to the outside world in
the heart Of Africa. His course across
the continent lay mostly between the
fifth and eighth degrees OF south lati-
tude, and Cameron is the first man who
ever travelled from ocean to ocean within
so short a distance Of the equator. He
traversed a region in which no trader or
traveller ever before set foot, settled by
hostile tribes. The much discussed
LuAlAba is the Congo and net the Nile.
His achievement leaves much less for
Stanley to do, and greatly narrows the
field of African discovery. The report
of this most marvellous of all journeys
in Africa will be awaited with impatient
interest by the reading public all wei
the world.

wonderful repeating rifles. The sup
porting company Is composed Of very
good actors, who appear to advantage in
the following roles; Harry Moreland as

der" Mile Morlacchi az pale Dove"

dition of the role, her conception Of it
being highly poetical as we'll as pastoral.
In both the piece de resistance and the
farce Morlacchi displays her talents as a
vocalist, and presents to the audience a
series of dancing evolutions, the very
poetry Of motion. As a danseuse she is
wonderfully agile, graceful and pleasing.
Tonight the same programme viii be

People have not stopped using iron
10 be sure. we have stopped building
railroads at last, and in other coun
tries they have begun to stop also
There is evidently an over.productior
of the most useful and important Of
metals. Why is it? Is it not, partly
because iron, SO abundant, so casil,
and clcaply produced in so many diff
ferent parts Of the world, is not de-
stroved by its first use? A shirt or a
pair Of trowsers is destroyed by the
wcarer; an old hat is flung away;
food is consumed, as we correctly say.
But in that sense iron is not consumed.
When rail is worn down it is sent to
the foundry and remelted, and its sub
stance goes some way towards the
making Of q new rail. Old iron of all
kinds has a commercial value, and is
saved and sold, and used over again,
and often improved by the first use.
No farmer ever lets an old horse shoe
lie on the road He picks it up, and
the blacksmith with a little labor
makes new horse shoe Of it. Who
can tell at what stage, after how

pears and is actually consumed? Per.
haps those Pcnnsylvanians were wise
