ST.. PAUL, July 6, lSS0.-My attention has
been called to communication in your Issue
of this date, dated Crookston, July 2, and signed
''yeritas. !"
The statements made by your correspondent.
whoever he may be, are false from date line to
signature.
Mr.. Loren Fletcher has no more influence in
Crookston than has a "feed boy in your office.
Thu convention was harmonious. and the in
structions for Washburn were and are the sen
timents of the people of the Northern Tier.
Because we have selected citizens of foreign
birth to represent Polk county at the district
convention can see no just cause for COM
plant on the part of 'Veritas, but simply re-
quest that hereafter be be ueritable. Yours re-
spectfully.

Self-Registering Hens.

A man out west has invented a de-
vice to prevent marketmen from palm
ing off old eggs. The invention is thus
described: He proposes to arrange a
rubber stamp in the nest of every hen,
with a movable date. This stamp is ar
ranged with pad which is saturated
with indelible ink. When the hen laws
an egg, as is well known, she kicks her
left leg. An electric disk is arranged
so that her foot touches it, when the
stamp turns over on to the ink pad and
Ievolves, stamping the date on the egg.
The hen then goes off about her bust
ness, the farmers hired girl removes
the egg, replaces the stamp, which is
ready for another. On each evening,
after the hens have retired to roost, the
date is changed to the following day.
In this way there can be no cheating.
You 60 to the grocery and ask for fresh
eggs, and the groceryman says he has
some of the vintage of March ], 1880,
for instance. You look at them, and
there are the figures, which cannot lie.
With this method it is an object for the
man to get rid of his eggs, knowing
that tomorrow may be too late.

VOLUME 43---NUMBER 2227.
A Senatorial Tap-Room.

Visitors to the United States Senate,
who sit in the galleries and look down
upon the grave lawmakers, are kept in
blissful ignorance of the many side
scenes which take place oD the floor,
and in the lobbies and cloakroOms of
that historic chamber. During the last
few sessions, but especially since the
advent of the democratic majority into
the body, many cOnvivial little meet
ings have taken place in the democratic
cloak room around blazing cOal-fire,
in the section known as the ''corner."
This is the place where, in a very meek
and unassuming little wardrobe, is kept
many choice brands of the article which
statesmen are much given to imbibing
in order to brace them up and add elO-
quence to their elOcutiOn, preparatory
to making ''the greatest effort" of their
lives, and, if they should gauge the
number of these efforts by their drinks,
the country would, indeed, be filled
with the echoes of their noble words.
The beverage is bought by funds rails
ed on subscription from the different
senators, and the key to the ''private
desk" is kept by one of the prominent
officers of the Senate and when SEN
atOr feels like taking something he taps
one of his colleagues on the shoulder
and winks at the custodian of the ward
robe who goes out one door while they
go out another, and in few moments
the sound of clinking glasses is heard
from the region of the corner" The
majority of the stockholders in this re-
sort for blues are democrats yet one
or two republican senators chip in to
the contingent fund.-" and, of course,
| taket heir sharesin the distribution of
the dividend. The 'corDer is great
place for healing over tender spots of
partlsanship, and it was no unusual
sight, last Congress, to see Bayard and
Stanley Matthews, Voorhees, and Don
Cameron, and Eaton and Jones of Ne
vada, walking arm-in-arm to take a
drink to the health of things in general.
Thurman and Edmunds, leaders of
their different parties in the Senate,
and often engaged in a most bitter de-
bate, will, at its conclusion, calmly
smile at each other. Edmunds will
then slip out one way, Thurman anoth-
er, and ia two minutes they will be en-
Joylng themselves together in a COM
mlttee-room over three-fngers of '66.n
When Dennis of Maryland was in the
Senate he was very generous in keep
ing the ''cOrner" supplied with all the
choice brands, and in 1876 had some
old peach brandy brought from his
] farm in Maryland that was 40 years old
and so thick that it was taken from the
bottles with a spoon. Dennis was moi
much on craftsmanship and heavy ora.

speaking of this latter business, gives
quite compliment to our Catholic

mention. He says, that while OCCASION

never been served that way yet by a

enough to do that. Mr.. Calderwood
also keeps all styles of picture mould

A Disguised Publisher.

Speaking of the high price of paper,
the Bristol, Pa, Observer remarks: "If
printing paper continues to advance,
newspapers will be forced to use COM
mon white satin with a plain gilt bor-
der instead. They will much dislike to
resort to so cheap a substitute, but
when rag print puts on pair of tele-
graph climbers, and the paper men
plunge their thumbs in the armholes of
their vests and ask what you are
going to do about it, something must be
done, and it is to be hoped that the
reading public will gracefully submit to
having their newspapers printed on in
expensive material until these bloated,
straw-stack and rag-bag holders can be
driven to the wall, and publishers can
afford to return to the use of paper.
We're in for barking down the giant
monopoly, and if it becomes necessary
to print the paper on bleached rub
Der blanket and have men 90 around
and hold it while the people read it,
we shall not shrink from our duty when
volunteers are called for"

Pulpit Flowers.

Pulpit Flowers.
Their radient beauty, and their odors sweet:
And everywhere look on their bright faces.
hold their presence sweet.
And so my heart falls not out with the fashion
That lifts the rose and lily to the place
Where reverent eyes gaze dimly on Christ's pas
sion,
And faint heart seeks Christ's grace.
On either side the cOnsecrated preacher
Like priests of old that Moses hand sustained
These pulpit flowers recall the perfect Teacher
By His own hand ordained.
With fearful eyes the lilies I consider,
Sweet symbols of my Fathers love for me,
That makes the world beside a false, vain bidder,
My end and crown to be.
The Odors that are poured from each rare chalice
My ardent soul makes incense clouds, that rise
Beneath my prayers up to my Kings fair palace,
In heavens unfathomed skies
Each perfect crest and crown of floral beauty,
By faith translated to my soul, becomes
A blossom the barren rod of duty,
And covers it with blooms.
And if, than empty speech, choose them rather,
Their sweet dumb lips to elOquence shall break;
And from the lilies of my Lord I'll gather
Sweet lilies for his sake.
So, for the pulpit flowers that bloom on Sunday,
To whose sweet thought provides them, thanks
and love
1 pray their hands twine brighter garlands one da!
In Paradise above.
