These theatrical offerings vary curious

Preserving Timber in Ground.

In spenking Of the well-known methods
of preserving posts and wood which are
partly imbeddcd in the earth, by char
ring and coating with tar, it is said these
methods are only effective when both are
applied Should the poles only be char
red without the subsequent treatment
with tar, the charcoal formation on the
surface would only act as an absorber of
the moisture, and, if anything, only
hasten the decay. BY applying n coat
ing of tar without previously charrlng,
the tar would only form a casing about
the wood, nor would it penetrate to the
depth which the absorbing properties OF
the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that is exposed to the action of
water or let into the ground should first
he charred, and then, before it has en-
tirely cooled, be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated. The
acetic acid and oils contained in the tar
are evaporated by the heat, and only the
resin left behind, which ponetrates the
pores of the wood and forms an air-tight
and waterproof envelope. tits important
to impregnate the poles little above the
line OF exposure, for here it is that the
action Of decay affects the wood first,
and where tho break always occurs
when removed from the earth or strained
in testing.

ReappOrtionment.


A Washington special says that from in.
quiry among democratic congressman who
have arrived in that city up to this time it
appears to be the intention of the democratic
majority in congress TO force reappor.ion.
ment of representation in cLngr SIS at thu
ensuing session. One object in urging this
reapportionmeat Is to prevent giving pre-
text to the republicans for called session of
the forty.sevenih congress. If the census
bureau shall complete the popular
statistics reapportonment will be but
simple matter, unless there shall
be determined effort TO secure an increased
number of members of the house. The
numoer of representatives fixed By law is
293. One member has Just estimated that il
this number is not changed reappor,ion.
ment will transfer thirteen members who are
now elected east of the Mississippi river to
states west of the river. OF gains to trans
Mississippi stats, Minnssots will get one
Iowa one, NebrasLa TWO, Kansas three. Texs,
foar, Arkansas one, and California one
Neither party will gain perceptibly by tn,
change from ons state to another. The
states which will l,se are: One each from tn,
five New Eogland states, except Rhode l.
land two from New York. tw,
from Pennsylvania, one from Ohio
one from Indiana, one from Virginia
one from Kentucky, one from MARYLAND, anc
probably one from North Carolina. TIL,
official returns Of the census may chang
this estimate slightly. 1t is probable tina
the New England states, New York ant
Pennsylvanla will resist reapportionmeni
ashley will lose most heavily. Should tn
republicans as a body, oppose respportior
ment a. the ensuing session, there is no prof
sbility that a bill on that subject will pas

bow will the republican press explain
the marked falling off in the white y0'e
in some of these states? Ia 1876 the ilden
yo' o in Alabama was 102 002 and in 1851 the
Hancock vote in the same state IS only 9l,o'o
"a falling off of 20 l27. In like manner the
democratic vote in Georgia shows falling
off of % 900; in kentucky of ll,00O; IN
Louisiana of 5000; in M s,is.sippi Of y, OOO
in Tennessee of 5000; in Virginia Of ll,Ouo.
If it be true, MS the republicans assert, tha'
the decrease in the colored vote in thee

the white vote? Dc the whites intlmldate

republican vote OF these seven states is o.

vote is 10000; so that The de,
crease in tle dem cratic vote Is o. W.
greater than tho republican vote! Evidently
the bulldczing" theory is at fault here. The
true explanation OF the falling of in botf
the democratic and republican votes in some
OF The southern states is that th re was IL

up the south at the beginning and refused t.

Our Merchant NnYY

1t il evident that congress will be COM
PEELED by public sentiment to consider at an
early day what action can be wisely taken to
restore cur shipping interest to the rank it
held before the war. The annual report of
the secretary of the navy contains a recon-
menda!ion that subsidies be granted for the
establishment Of America" steamship lines
The advocates of such subsidies and those
who urge the admission of foreign-bujlt ships
to American registry will have battle to
fight in congress, and the country will not
be content if the agitation of this subject re-
:ults in nothing more than quarrel between
factions. E. gland began in 1881 the
policy of protection for her shipping inter-
est, and she has rot abandoned that policy
from that time til. this France, eager to
lain the wealth Of the seas has. granted
heavy tonnage bounties for the establish
ment of steamship lines, and there is little
hope of the restoration Of the shipping inter-
est of the United States TO its former rank,
unless the government grants somo such di-
rect aid to its merchant navy as rival nations
afford to theirs Among the subjects Of
grave importance to which congress mus

what may be done TO give our shipping the
