Almighty God that there is another tribunal
which is not inspired by those passions. The
gentleman from Virginia (Tucker) appealed
yesterday to the Democrats and to the Repub.

The people know very:well that peace does

whole people, North, South, East and West. A
desire for the restoration of peace, for the fra.

government.
Mr.. Swami of Mary land spoke in favor of
the bill and said that in voting for it he and his
colleagues would represent the wishes of the
people in their states.
Without any action on the bill, the commit

A Peculiar Wood

Mr.. Merrill, OF the firm Of Wadlin .N
Merrill, Belfast, calls our attention to an
Interesting fact which explains what has
long been puzzle to him and others in
the tin business In answer to cores
pondent, who asks what kind of wood the
boxes are made of in which tin plate is
imported, the editor Of The Metal Work el
says
We are not surprised that our correspondent
is at a loss to know what kind of wood is used
in making tin plate boxes. So far as we know
it has no name, nor does it grow anywhere at
the present time. 1t is sawed from the butts
and roots of trees found imbedded in the peat
bogs of Wales The trees seem to somewhat
resemble the modern cypress, but we do not
know of any wood now growing which is so
ntractable, tough and contrary generally, or
whose fiber SO closely resembles Il skein of
tangled yam. This wood is curiosity. Its
age would be difficult to determine, but it was
probably growth Of many centuries ago, at
least. Layers OF trees are often found in the
peat bog5 OF Great Britain which look as if
they had been suddenly deposited in their hori-
Hontal POSITIONS and sometimes TO have been
felled by human hands. Some of the largest
peat bogs OF Europe occupy sites once occupied
by great forests. which tradition says We're de-
Stroyed by order OF SevcruS and other Roman
Emperors, and it is not impossible that the tree
from which the wood which has puzzled our
correspondent was sawed and cut down by the
Roman legions during their conquest of Great
Britain-say, about 81 B. G. Possibly the wood
may have been changed somewhat in character
of being water seasoned for so long a time in
the solution of gallic acid and tannin, which is
decidedly antiseptic, and has a great power of
preserving vegetable matter from decay. There
is great temptation to indulge in pleasant
tancies in discussing this subject, but we will
leave them to the reader We have given the
facts, and he can do the specializing whenever
he has time and inclination to let his fancy take
wing. There are thousands of valued relics in
the cabinets of antiquarians far less interesting
than the wood of tin plate boxes, which the
consumer generally utilizes for tirewood
