nothing. 1t is now half past one and

sentative man; but II tho Democrats
are wise they will choose between
three men-Messrs. Morrison, OF Illi-
nois; Lamar, Of Mississippi, and Ran
dali, of Psnnsylvanis. OF these three
Morrison would probably have the
best chance Of an election, aud lie
would mako an excellent Speaker.
The Speakership Of the House OF Rep.
resentatives Is always an Office OF
great power and responsibility. BY
his selection of the committees the
Speaker In a great measure shapes and
controls the legislation of the House
and therefore Of Congress. During
the session soon to begin many jobs
will make their appearance which
their authors kept out of sight and out
of the House last session; the Speaker
ought to be . man awake TO the dan
ger and able to guard against 1t by tho
selection Of proper men for the inn
portant committees. There are signs,
too, that vicious legislation in regard
10 the currency will be attempted, and
the Speaker ought to be a man about
whose views OIL this and other impOr.
tant public questions there can be no
doubt. We hope. therefore, to see the
Democrats in the House select n
of their best aud firmost men for
Speaker. This is very important not
only for the country but also for their
party interests. A blunder here will
draw them into very deep water"

N. Grandeau, g French chemist, has
ascertained that oats Of light weight
ar are e|oqf Of equal value, pound for pound,
with those that weigh heavier in pro-
portion to measure. A French, postal
contractor tried a similar experiment
in a practical way, Out Of 900 horses
in his stables he selected two teams Of
y each, in all respects alike, and un. 1ltu
.dergoing the same kind Of work. One
team was fed: for six months on, the
lightest oats that could be procured,
weighing u pounds to the hectolitre,
and the other was fed for a similar, pe-
riod Of time on: the heaviest oats,
weighing III per hectolitre, at the end
Of the period of observation no differ
ence could be detected in the appear
ance Of the two tear1s, the horses be.
ing all in excellent condition and in
good working order. The oats, were
Of course, fed by weight and not by
measure.
We rather expect, had the oats been
fed by measure instead Of weight the
result would have been very different.

Encluntment of Distance.

TO live with people is to discover
their faults it is better then not to live
with them. TO come together in the
the same village, town or city, is the
ruin of some excellent friendships,
which would have gone on happily dur.
ing life with short railway journey
for each visit. Woe betide certain &C.
quaintances whose aspect is mutually
pleasant seen from opposite corners Of
the same street if they become next
door neighbors. No greater mistake
can be made than for persons to sup.
pose that, because they are friendly
with one another at this or that dis
tance Of removal, they will become in.
creasingly friendly in proportion as
they draw higher. Few of us can sup
ship: Numbers of family quarrels
have arisen merely because the mem.
bers came together. too often ; many a
Friendship has ended forever owing to
the parties having met every evening
for a week, instead of interposing at
least two blank nights. A very nice
chronology obtains in the matter.
Aunt Mary is charming visitor at in
tervals Of about three years; if she
came each summer she would be intol-
cradle. You rather like your brother
Johns children if you don't go there
oftener than once in three months. 1t
is all very well to hear talks about
eternal friendships. Some people can
only be intimate and remain friendly
with some other people for half an
hour at time Who has not observed
the part played by time in visits Of
some length to friends at a distance {!
How agreeable some persons are on the
second day, but they begin to change
before the next day has fully run out.
Some are never quite so nice as on the
evening Of the first day; although
these same persons generally make
partial amends by frightening up bril-.
liantly during the last few hours or
minutes of your stay, and are wholly
perfect at the moment of your depar-
ture.

Tie Most Useful Remedies.

A PARTY of ten English medical men
were dining together not long ago,
when one Of them inquired; If all
present were limited in their practice
to the selection of six pharmacopseial
remedies, which would be chosen as
being the most useful, compound
drugs to be excepted. Each Of the
party wrote the name of the six
drugs he would select, and handed
them to the doctor who asked the
question. On examining the ballots
it was found that; a majority Of the
votes were given in favor Of opium,
quinine, and iron; between mercury
and iodide of potassium they were
equally divided, as they were also be-
aween ammonia and chloroform. ,.

. Butler and Bunting.

Certain newspapers having limited
that Ben Buffers love for the flag was
not altogether disinterested, lin that he
was interested in a. bunting nlanufac-
tory in Massachusetts, ''thc widow"
has published an explanation, in which
he says: @'The manufacture of bunting
was unknown IN this country until
after the close of the war, so that no
American ship ever fought under a
yard of American bunting. One or
two attempts had been made to make
it in America, which had failed. 1t
was substantially a monopoly. of a
few firms in Bradford, England, and
although it cost, in the war, an Eng
lishman to make it no more than now,
they put up the price upon us 1886,
gold, per piece. In 1865, because l
lived in a manufacturing city, was
requested by the navy department to
examine into the subject, and see if it
could be made here. consulted with
some friends of mine in Lowell, and
interested them in the subject, and
they agreed to make. an attempt, pro-
vided l would furnish a part of the
capital, which Idid.,, After many ex-
periments. attended by very con-
|siderable expense, and by employing
English machinery, an article Of bunt-
ing was made, WHICH, upon competitive
trial with the English, was pronounced
by a board of experts to be superior.
The demand for the article, is very
limited, except in presidential years,
and in this centennial year. There
are now three or four other establish.
nents which manufacture bunting in
the country besides the one at Lowell.
It is said by a newspaper that the
tariff is more than the cost, leaving
the inference that that is added to the
|'price. The effect Of the manufacture
here has been that bunting is pro
duced at $40 piece gold, as against
$38, which our government paid fol
over 1900 pieces yearly during thee
