The Billiard Tournament.

The billiard tournament in New York
the past week, has been characterized by
some remarkably good as well as equally
poor playing. On Saturday, GARNER sur
prised himself and everybody else in his
innings, making the extraordinary average
of 30, never before equaled except in sin
gle game, last week, by Cyrille Dion, and
making final run of l2l, when he was
forced to stop by the calling Of "game."
Sexton had scored 1875. The other two
games of the day resulted Slosson 300,
Rudolphe 2i0, Cyrille Dion 400, Maurice
Daily 1913. Sosson and Rudolphe are
through the latter hasn't won game,
while the former stands good chance for
the fourth prize. 1t was charged that Ru-
dolphe sold his last game with Slosson, and
the referee declared all bets "off."

The last congress of which the demo-
Gratis had control of the house of represent
atives was the thlrty-ffth, which assem-
bled December T., 1857, and which was
composed of one hundred and twenty eight
democrats, ninety-two republicans and
fourteen 'nativc Americans" and of which
James l.. Orr, of South Carolina, was cleo
ted speaker. The next year, the scepter
departed from them, the house, in the
Thirty-sixth congress, consisting of one
hundred and nine republicans, one hundred
and one democrats, twenty-six native
Americans, and one wing, and of which
william Pennington, republican, of New
Jersey, was elected SPEAKER, as compro-
mise candidate, on the first day of Febru-
airy, 1860, after nearly a two months strug-
gle, and on the forty-fourth ballot, receiv-
ing the exact number Of votes necessary
Tor his election. From that time onward,
the republicans controlled the house, elect
ing their candidates for speaker, at each
congress, without struggle, and placing

Cling for the offices and patronage thus
placed at their disposal, let us glance a
moment at the personnel of the house.
For one thing the new house will be par
ucularly remarkable, that is for the num-
Der of new members; one hundred and
eighty-four out of the two hundred and
ninety-two members constituting the whole
house, are entirely without congressional
experience, having never been members of
congress before, and there are many more
who were not members of the last house.

liberal supply. Sometimes as much as a
bushel will be jolted from car IN this
way. During the day women and child
ren are constantly at work picking up coal.
When one looks more closely into the
relations between employer and employee
here, he ceases to wonder that these men,
earning good pay, do not have more COM
Portable homes. In the first place, as l
have said, they cannot own their homes, as
can the Vermont villagers. Then, what
ever they buy they must get at the COM
pany's store and.pay the compaDy's price, for
thel reason1 that there Is no other store for
miles, and cannot be, for the company will
not lease the ground for one. Then there
are saloons enough established and licensed
to supply all the liquor that can be disposed
OF. The company has paid the miner
good price for his labor, but in the course
of two weeks after the monthly pay day,
between general stores and grog shops,
they have got it all back again, and the
miner who dug the coal is not a penny the
better off. Whether the miner has $1.50
or SO per day makes virtually but little
difference to the giant coal monopoly. 1t
is SIX one way and half dozen the other.
500 is paid to miner out of one pocket,
and paid by him into the other for little
bread and good deal of liquor, and the
coal companys balance is all the same.

An Indiana newspaper correspondent
says that Oliver p. Morton will receive the
solid republican vote of that state, and
Governor Hendricks the democratic vote,
as candidate for president in the respective
national conventions. next year. He says
further, that the currency question is as
much discussed as ever, that parties are
divided thereon, and that many republicans
as well as democrats, strongly advocate
initiation. This being SO, neither democrats
or republicans could find better candidates
than Morton and Hendricks-for have
they not been on both sides, and in the
middle too, of the currency question P
or candidates surer 10 fail of obtaining a
nomination.

Postal Department Report.

The postmaster generals report will con-
tain few recommendations to congress.
MIR. Jewell will refer to the operations of
the department during the year in terms of
satisfaction, will recite the changes and
improvements IN the manner of making
contracts and the transportation of the
mails, most of which have been reported
from time to time, and will call attention
to the very credtable financial exhibit. He
will treat at some length of the fast mail
service throughout the county, which he
approves in the most earnest manner. A
portion Of his report will also be devoted
to the new system of preparing newspaper
postage and its operations. No change
in the method will be recommended. The
acknowledgement looks with regret
upon the practice of postmasters who re-
ceive large salaries, ranging from 81, 500 to
81 200, who devote only few hours each
day to their duties. He strongly condemns
such officers as come to their offices late in
the afternoon, hastily turning over their
mail, signing such documents as require
their Official signatures, then leaving their
duties to subordinates, and giving their
time to their private pursuits. Mr.. Jewell
is of the opinion that officers paid by the
government should give their whole time to
the government, and that those who can.
not do this ought to retire. In this respect
he will, without probably intending IL, hit
sundry administration editorial post
masters some severe blows. In re-
gard to what is know as the
"third class matter" upon which the
rate was so unrcasonably increased during
the last session of congress, the postmaster
general will make some important recon-
mendations. The present postage on all
printed matter and packages is cent an
ounce, on all transient matter, so that it
not unfrequently happens that transient
newspaper will require four cents postage,
or as much as the original cost of the
paper. Mr.. Jewell will recommend re-
turn to the old rates, namely half a cent
an ounce on newspapers but will ask that
the law remains as II is in regard to other
articles, except, perhaps, books, and upon
this he has not yet decided. W.

A Canadian Household.

You have already been with me, on
three or four occasions, to visit an old Can
adam farmer. Now, in the extreme of au-
tumn, just before "Winter comes to rule
the varied year." we will go again. The
matched barns and hangers are full of hay
and grain the cattle are all gathered COM
fortably 10, save few long colts, or
coarse wooded sheep, find shelter under
open sheds. The pleasant smell of many
loaves OF bread, standing in the open
mouthed, outdoor oven, greets us as we
aight, raises our spirits and inclines us to
thankfulness for this abundant provision.
The old farmer and family greet us with a
kindly 6oWour messieurS, 6onjour and the
dog seems to remember us. A cheerful fire
roars in the great double stove, sending a
genial warmth through the whole house :;
and lighted candles show us pictures of the
infant Jesus and his mother, of saints, and
OF the crucfxion, hanging on the walls. A
glimpse into the half-opeped cupboard there
discloses piles of linen and flannel, made
by the women of the house and the
wheel and loom in the corner, recall the
old industrious times in New Eng
land, or those more ancient times
in classic Greece, when Penelope
labored among her domestics,
while she patiently awaited the return of
Ulysses. A frugal repast is partaken of,
to which no one sits down without saying
short prayer, and crossing himself The
evening passes pleasantly away half
dozen young folks come in from the neigh
bors and play cards across the great table,
with the young folks in the house. The
old farmer talks intelligently enough about
the municipal affairs of the parish knows
about their school and church affairs can
tel you of many miracles that have been
wrought in Canadian parishes but from
further off no ray of light has ever pene-
trated his mind. After we retire to rest,
we hear the family saying the Ave Maria
and the Angelus from the village church
bell wakes US before light, with some of
u KH. smlp r astr going to early mass Cor.
