WILLIAM is a Doughlace Congressman
from some obscure country district out
West, who has never been n RANDALL
man, as it were, since his name was omit
ted from the list of chairmen of the leading
committees of the House. When he
stepped down from the Ways and Means to
the Public Lands he made up his mind
that RANDALL was fraud, and has been
consulting with himself on that subject
ever since, always reaching a unanimous
concurrence in that belief

alike, and if RANDALL is elected the major

Southern Democrats. Chairmanships will

THERE are few gentlemen known to be
likely to have spare change in their pocb-
cts who are not approached frequently to
buy tickets to complimentary testimo-
"nials," In some cases, where men are par
ticularly well known, the applications will
average in number three or four a day, and
if granted every time will require an outlay
of from one to three dollars day. The
persons who sell these tickets generally
base their appeals on personal friendship,
argue that n quarter or half dollar will
never be missed and in case the request to
purchase is refused make cutting allusions
about small-hearted folks, or some otfier re-
marks intended to reflect discreditably
upon the person refusing They stop ac-

Our Export Trade,

The Scientific American has an article
upon our export trade that demonstrates
the efforts which the American people are
making in diversified industry. Some of
its statistics are novel and interesting to
the student of domestic and political econ
omy. The exports of cheese last year
reached 107, 1854, 666 pounds. Fresh meat
exported increased from 5000 tons in 1876
to $4,000 tons in 1877, and the business
80 rot IN ;+s i,fapn. Resides fraeh beef
oysters, fruit, butter, and eggs swell the
list of exported articles by the aid of re-
frigerators. A company in Delaware has
gone into the business of making English
plum pudding. We send oatmeal to
Scotland and beer to Germany. A Boston
company are turning out 5000 cans,
equal to $4,000 pounds, of baked beans
and codish-balls daily, and it finds a large
demand for both specialties in England,
France, West Indies, and South America
In january last an English house sent an
agent to this country with orders to ship
regularly every week fifty barrels of the
finest quail, prairie hens, grouse, wood
cock, wild turkeys, canvas-back ducks,
and other American game that he could
procure. The enterprise has proven a
great success. Buffalo and antelope meat,
venison and salmon are also among the in
~'merable articles of food sent from this
country, not only to England but to near
" every other civilized nation. Our coal
oil is now the light Of the world.

Hind0O Stratagem.

Among the hill tribes of the Anglo-In-
dian frontier cunning is quite as highly
esteemed as personal proves, but even
these masters of stratagem are occasional
ly outwitted. A Hindoo trader, who had
occasion to pass through their country re-
Gently, laid out all his money in several
large diamonds, which he bound round
his head with a soiled rag, made to
look like the bandage of wound. He
then put on his raggedest clothes, and
loaded a donkey with loaves of spiced
bread, such as the mountaineers like, put
ting good dose of opium in each. He
soon fell in with half dozen brigands,
who paid no attention to the ragged trav-
eler, but bounced upon the bread and ate
the whole of it. The opium soon put them
to sleep, whereupon the traveller took what
money they had, their arms and the best
of their clothes, and went his way in
peace But he took care not to travel by
that road again.

Cotton CypOrYs,

In 1868, before our cotton cultivation
had recovered from the effects of the war,
England took from us only $4,000 bales /;
from India, $4,000 bales In 1871 she
took from us $685. 900 bales; from India,
55S,000 bales. These facts end all con-
troyesy about East India competition,
even if the cotton was equal in quality to
our own.
England consumes about 100000
bales, two-thirds of which she takes from
us In 1859, before the war, England
took from us 2,0S6,000 bales; and the to-
tai amounts from Brazil, West Indies,
Egypt and East India, were 143, 900 bales.
In 1860 she took from us 2,5S2, 900 bales,
and from all others 100000 bales. More
than teneleyenths of her increased supply
came from us; less than one-eleventh
from all the Others. In 1870, notwith-
standing our war and the arduous efforts
OF her Cotton Supply Association, she
took from us between sixty and seventy
per cent. of her supply. Ii she could get
equally as good cotton elsewhere, she
would have done so long ago. She has
abandoned her Cape of Good Hope plan
tations. Failing in all her efforts, she
now looks to our crop as her chief depend

An individual, who was seeking to pass
into the fair grounds without the formal
ity of handing out ticket, says the De
troit Free Press, was ordered to provide
himself with one, when he explained:
sWhy, I'm an exhibitor"
"What are you exhibiting?" inquired
the official.
'I'm exhibiting this ere ruined suit OF
clothes, which cost me $50, rib tract
ured in a rush to get street car, wallet
here without cent in it, skinned ankles
and knees, and about 400 spots where I've
been stepped on by the crowd"
Cant pass in on that-get your ticket, "
cried the official.
''Hain't that enoughs"
"No, sir"
s'Then I'll exhibit little common sense
and go home," continued the man, and
he fell back and headed for the city.

Rather Mixed.

A belated and rather poverty stricken
foot traveller, whose railway ticket was
good on all country roads and cattle
paths, stopped at a small mansion of ap-
parently four rooms and kitchen, in the
South Hill suburbs the other evening to
beg nights lodging, says the Burlington
Hawkeye. As he stood timidly knock
ing at the half opened door, he heard the
shrill, commanding tones of the lady of
the house dispoSing the garrison for the
night:
Tommy, go hunt up Charley and Ben,
and tell them TO go to the grocery and
tell your father to bring Ella and Willie
right home, its their bedtime, and if they
see Louise on the way send her to Miss
Crozier's for Alice and jim, and see il
they know where Ezra is: you take this
lamp up to grandmas room and ask her
If she won't take care of the baby while
| go and find Dick, and while l am gone
you undress Mabel and put her 10 bed,
and If Cousin Harry comes while l am
gone, tell him he's to sleep with you"
And the traveller sighed and turned
away so oppressed with a feeling of over
crowdedness that he walked out into the
country and slept all night in the middle
OF prairie nine miles long.

erection in 1859 has been in continued
occupation down 10 the present time. In
the year above mentioned a colony OF
thirteen persons from England landed in
the harbor, among whom was Barnabas
Horton, the builder of the house. A por-
ton Of the house was used for the Court
OF Sessions in the East Riding of York
shire, and the Judges bench remained in
the house until within a few years The
house, as it at present stands, consists OF
three partS,-the oldest, built in 1889, the
next in 1865, and a wing tinishedin 1885.
The oldest portion is small hut, thirty
one by twenty-fouI feet, with six rooms
