CRAFTSMANSHIP AS A SPECIALITY.

Craftsmanship in Congress has degen-
Grated into special committees That
body is given up to special committees.
Nothing can be done that ought not to
be done or left undone that ought to be
done without the aid of special com
mittee to inquire into it, with power to
send for persons and papers, to set dur
ing recess and to take a trans-continental
uip in search of information on the sub
ject, taking along with them their cous-
ins and their uncles and their aunts or
some female relatives of somebody else
who don't happen to be on the special
committee.
No statesman can consider himself a
fullpledged statesman, with fully devel-
Oped top-knot and tail-feathers, until he
has become a chairman of some special
committee, which said committee takes
its name from him. By the younger
members of Congress it is esteemed rather
a luxury to be placed even on the tail
end of such committee, but for a ripe
statesman nothing but Craftsmanship
will suffice. These committees are a
costly, though gratifying luxury, but, as
is usually the case in political affairs,
those who pay the bill don't enjoy the
qualification.
Senator Patterson's Committee, which
has been inquiring into something, was
engaged twenty-five days in taking testi'
mony and other things, and picked up q
GOOD deal of information on matters en-

-
tirelY disconnected with the subject OF
inquiry which will be of considerable
value to the printer and paper maker,
and all at an extra cost of only 81, 900.
The Senator AYERS that he has man
aged the investigation in a very econom-
ical manner and that he might have
spent twice that sum with little effort.
Senator Patterson is naturally mad that
some caping fault-finders accuse him of
extravaganza, Some people are always
grumbling about such trifes as Senator
Patterson and seventeen thousand dollars!
These Special Committees are to a
modern Congressman what eOcoanuts are
to a ring tailed monkey in the forests of
the PHILIPPINE Islands, both juicy and re-
freshing.

How a Dream Won n Bet

Hon. Frank Lawley in London Telegraph
The great handicap at EPSON recalls
an incident in the lfeof General Taylor
which is not without interest to those
who believe in what the learned author
of the Anatomy of Melancholy calls
"Oneiromantera," or "Divination by
Dreams" On the morning of the day
when the City and Suburban Handicap
was won by Aldrich, a little-fancied
outsider, it SO CHANGED that General
Taylor travelled down to EPSON in COM
pany with Lord Vivian, and heard from
him that it was his intention to back
Lord Rosebery's horse because he had
dreamed that he saw the Primrose and
Rose Hoops borne to victory in the race
which they were on their road to witness.
Acting upon this hint General Taylor
took thousand to thirty about Adrich,
and was not little elated at the success
of what he justly called "a leap in the
dark" But for the accident which
caused Lemnos, another much backed
candidate for the race, to fall at Totem
ham Corner, there is little probability
that the dream of Lord Vivian would
have found the Interpretation upon
which General Taylor counted, and
which is only another illustration of the
dangers from which hackers of horses can
never hope to escape.
To the Editor of the Daily Telegraph:
SIR--In your leader on General Taylor
in this days paper you introduce an an
ecdote relative to dream of mine. The
facts are these: | did dream, on the
morning of the race for the City and
Suburban Handicap that | had fallen
asleep in the weighing-room of the stand
at EPSON prior to that race, and that
after it had been run was awakened by
a gentleman, the owner of another horse
in the race, who informed me that The
Teacher had won. OF this horse, so far
as my recollection serves me, had never
before heard. On reaching Victoria Sta
ton the first person saw was the gentle
man who had appeared to me in my
dream, and to him | mentioned it, observ-
ing that could not find any horse 50
named in the race. He replied "There is
a horse now called Aldrich which was pre-
viously called The Teacher" The dream
had 50 viyidly impressed me that | de-
clared my intention of backing Aldrich
for f100, and was in course of doing this
when Lwas questioned by his owner as to
"why | was backing his horse" l re-
piled, "Because | dreamed he had won
the race" To this | was answered: GAS
against your dream will tell you this
fact. | tried the horse last week with
hurdle jumper, and he was beaten dis
tance." q afterwards learned that the
trial horse was LowlanderD
| thanked my informant and discon-
tinued backing Aldrich. General Taylor,
who had overheard what passed, asked
me if | did not intend backing the horse
again for myself, to win him Fl 900 by
him. This did by taking for him l 900
to 80 about Aldrich.
Such is the true account of my dream
and of General Taylor's profit from it.
...s... VIVIAN.

. JOHN RUSSELL Yoke, in his capacity
as journalist has evidently undertaken
a big job. He aspircs to be to Grant what
Boswell was to that huge old literary and
Pathological bear, johnson, almost one
hundred years ago. Boswell, in the Ian
guage of Macaulay, was the prince of
toadies, and dignifed the humble calling
by his worshipful details of the daily life
and habits of the great photographer. In
these modern times a hero without a
newspaper scribe goes into history in
rather a threadbare condition, and en-
joys but little current attention, while
a scribe without a hero to attach himself
10 is as destitute of an occupation as was
Othello after his uncongenial matri-
monial venture. But John Russell
Young has hero, and, for that matter,
two, because he has taken up young
Fred. Grand as a residuary legatee of
his fathers honors, and Grant has his
Boswell in John Russell Young.

at the present moment to be modelled
after that of the steamboat captain on
the Mississippi River, who sat down on

to suit him. The policy was effective

Heating by Hot Water.

The heating of cars by stoves has
been the cause of more headaches, colds
and general ill comfort than any other
appurtenance to modern travelling, and
any step in mitigation of this evil
amounts to a public blessing. Steam
has been used, but has been found too
expensive, except for parlor and sleep
ing cars. The Pennsylvania Railroad
has just adopted a sytem of car heating
between Philadelphia and New York
which is economical, and, in its results,
better than steam. The plan is to heat
by hot water pipes running from boil
er in the forward car through each car,
making q turn under each seat, thus
giving every passenger a convenient
warming pan for his feet in place of the
customary cold drafts. Experiments
have shown that, with the water boiling
in the forward car, the water in the
pipes on the last car of train registers
POS deg, giving medium temperature
to the car of 20 to as deg. The plan OF
heating houses and factories by hot wat
er has become very popular in England
and Scotland, and has proven of special
value where oven small variations OF
Temperature are to be avoided, as in
lighthouses and artificial incubatories.-

The Telegraph in Africa.

The electric telegraph is being rapid
ly extended over the dark continent.
The active energies of M. Lesseps are
being directed toward the establishment
OF a line across the Great Desert, from
Algeria to the French settlement of Sem
egal, and the French have already ex-
tended their Algerian lines eastward to
rripoli. The Egyptian lines reach to
the Equator; and those of South Africa
will probably before long be in commu-
nication with them; and, by and by, we
may expect to see an overland line from
Cape town to Cairo and Alexandria.
The extension of commercial relations
with the interior in the same direction
will aid in protecting the wires; and it
is stated as regards the northern lines
that the Arabs, finding their camels
travel much faster when following them,
most scrupulously respect the wires and
poles
