At the steel works of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal Co. in Scranton great improvement has be
made recently n the manufacture OF steel rails Here
toforc the rails nave been turned at the standard
length 80 feet, but they made IN double bars
GO feet long The great advantage Of making the double
length instead Of the single length bar hes in the saving
effected in cutting oil the ends OF the rails which
in itself is a saving Of about ify per cent Although
the bar is rolled 90 feet in cnth IL Is too cumbersome 10
he easily handed IN the laying OF tracks ana Is there
fore cut IN two as rolled The great advantage
lies in the fact that there only two ends 70 be
trimmed IN a length 90 iee instead OF four as formerly.
These works among the first In the country, ana add

+" While under ordinary circumstances
we should decline to discuss the po-

that the present exigeneies call for an
expression of confidence in the up

towards those formerly in bondage

The St. Louis Republican reports
that Ex-Governor WarmOth has a
plan for the settlement of the Louisi-
ana complication
He proposes that the Legislature
shall be recognized by the members
who hold uncontested seats. They
are then to settle all contests and
proceed to canvass the returns for
Governor, both parties agreeing to
abide by the result. This, he admits,
would give an approximate Repub-
lican majority of twelve on joint bal
lot, but he says seven of the twelve
are not particularly friendly to Pack
ard, and could be relied on to secure
a fair count.

Once, when Mr.. John Mccullough
was playing Prince Of Morocco in the
" Merchant of Venice" his brother
actors played a merry trick upon him.
They prepared for the casket scene
with Portia a jack in-t the box, so at
tached to the lid of the casket that
when it was opened the grotesque
thing would fly up. The graceful
Prince walked up to the table, bent
over the box, turned the key, and the
next instant particularly ugly jack,
with red wooden cap, bounced into
the royal visage, and inflicted an ago
nizing blow upon the royal nose. The
audience was rather more delighted
than was Mr.. McCullough.

After they had been presented, and
Mrs. Hayes had leaned over and
shaken each little hand, along came
