The most roundabout way, II not the
shortest, Is sometimes the most certain.
Had Malone instructed bis electors to vote
for Garfield he would have driven of the
bulk OF the servative-ReadiusterS and
insured the State to Hancock. But dividing
Hancock's vote was the surest way OF Civ
ing the State to "the allies" whose four
teen votes last winter gave General Malone
seat in the United States Senate for six
gears. MeckLenburg Democrat.
II ha. always been = matter OF surprise
that the fourteen surrendered their indie

PRINCE AND PRINCESS.

His Royal Highness Prince Leopold
and his sister, Louise, the Machioness OF
Lorne, children of Queen Victoria, are
visiting West, and the royal pair passed
Saturday and Sunday in Milwaukee,
leaving that city Sunday night. A
Chicago Evening Journal reporter gives
the following portrait in miniature OF
Leopold:
He is young man, "seven and TWEEN
ty years of age''-as the reporter was sub
sequently informed by one of the suite :
but does not look more than % or "a
He is rather small in stature-not more
than five feet six inches in height-very
slender, and animated in his movements,
with slight stoop forward when he walks.
He looks eminently like an Englishman,
and bears the marks Of gentility in his
face and manner His eye is blue; his
mustache, diminutive and blonde, and
features are like those of the rest of the
family, his nose being slightly acquiline
and his mouth small. He was dressed in
delicate light gray and almost lavender
small checked subtitle coat double
breasted jacket, buttoned high, with a
button-hole boquet on the lapel; his
necktie, polka dotted maroon, ornament
ed with a small gold pin; his collar, a
genuine English "Piccadilly;" his hat, a
low-crowned brown Derby; in his right
hand he carried a slender cane, and on
fingers of the left hand, when he stroked
his mustache, were observable large
number of gold rings, embossed, jeweled
and enameled-evidently tokens of hon.
or.
The Journal reporter speaks of Louise
in the following terms:
She is about the medium height and
quite like other young ladies who make
pretentions to being pretty. Her face
was rather in the shadow, but it could be
seen that her eyes were brown, her hair
dark, and her teeth very white and per-
feet, when she smiled-which she did
very often in speaking to the Prince She
was putting on her gloves-a pair of kids
and was dressed in a short black velvet
with lace and flowers at the throat. Her
hat was a canary colored straw trimmed
with black silk, feathers and bright flow
ers, she spoke to the Prince only few mo-
ments, and then, tripping as ifin the best
of girlish spirits, disappeared through the
door of her room.

MAKING LUMBER OUT OF
iSTRAW.
From the Trenton Gazette


The versatile ingenuity of western
inventor, who doubtless sees the time in
the far distant future when the forest
shall cease to clothe the hills and dales,
and the demand for lumber shall prove
vastly in excess of the supply, has sue
ceeded in devising a substitute for the
product of the virgin or the cultivated
soil. His plan is to use the fragile veget
able, straw, and by a peculiar process to
compress it into substance as hard and
indestructible as oak lumber. It is claim
ed that this process converts wheat straw
into timber which is susceptible of as fine
polish and finish as mahogany and
black walnut at cost not in excess Of
the best clear pine. The straw is first
manufactured by the ordinary paper mill
process into straw board, and sufficient
number of sheets of the right size are
taken to make the required timber. They
are soaked and softened in chemical
solution, which is, of course, the invent
or's secret. After the fiber of the paste
board is sufficiently saturated, the pile of
sheets is pressed between a series of roll
ers, which consolidates them SO that when
dry the whole is hard stick. 1t is also
claimed that the process renders this
wood substitute impervious to water, and
the chemicals used are such as to make it
fire proof. But the sanguine inventor
has only made samples thus far

SUCCESSFUL SHEEP MAN.-About five
years ago, Mr.. G. G. Crosson, of this city,
after having failed in the mercantile bust
ness, resolved to go West and establish
himself in the sheep business. He had
but small sum of money to start with,
and was well advanced in years, but
there are few men possessed of more will
and energy than he, and haying a large
family to support he determined to make
the best Of the future opportunities He
located a ranch in the Musquiz Canon,
twelve miles from Fort Davis, and stock
ed it with small flock of sheep After
while, finding that business required
his constant attention, he removed his
family to Fort Davis AS time sped on
he met with several reverses, but none
that tended in the least to weaken his af-
forts or impair his energy. 1t was report
ed that nearly half his flock was lost in
this way; still, he did not despair, but,
battling against all reverses, soon recover
ed from the effects of Indian raids. His
stock to-day numbers 5000 fine sheep,
and, is being graded up dis rapidly as the
laws ofnature will admit. The increase of
this flock this Spring by lambs was about
81 per cent. MIR. Crosson has supported
his family nicely since he embarked in
the sheep business, and has, in the past
four years, cleared $4,000 There is
no need for comment.-San 4ntonio

THE CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN road

seeking permission to pass through the
Sioux Indian reservation. Red Cloud,
Spotted Tail and other Indian chiefs are

authorities and Mr. B. G. Cook, the at
torney of the road. The Indians pro-
fess to have no objection to granting the
privilege, provided the road will pay
them enough for it.

The amer can Reprint of the En-
CYcIODeIiN Britannica.

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers of our city to this grand work. No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Its great cost was the only hindrance to its gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead,
ing Libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one halfits original cost and per
feet in ell its parts, every word, cut, illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
TESTIMONIALS FROM STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, OSH-
r0sH, Wisconsin
OSHKOSH, WIS, Dec. IT, 1879.
Col. E. b. GRAY Agent for Reprint of ENcY-
CLoPEDIA BRITANNICA,
DEAR SIR: The opportunity you have given
us to compare the three editions of the ninth is
sue of the Encyclopedia Britannica-viz., the
"Orignal English Edition." the american Re-
print by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co.. and what is call
ed the ''Scrbner-Hall Edition'-has enabled us
to discover the following facts:
1. The "Scribner- Hall Edition. is decidedly
inferior to the "Origina" in the letter-press, pa
per am binding.
2. Itdoes not give the full text of the English
Edition" and in some instances the omissions in
text ale such a character as to teach error. Es-
pecially is this seen in the article Anatomy,
3. The plates do not agree with the 'Original,"
most O. them being smaller. These reductions
in sonle cases being made, and the text describ-
ing the plates not being changed a correct idea
of the dze of the plants (see article "Botany')
cannot be obtained.
4. The marginal references in many instances,
are so bound into the backs of the volumes as to
render them quite useless.
s. Tie maps vary from the "Original," show
ing that they are not 'from the same" but from
quite Inferior, plates. Notably is this the case
in the maps of Cornwall and Cumberland, in
which the fine-line engraving showing elevations
is entirely omitted.
6. sonany serious defects occur in this ''Scrib
ner-Hal Edition" that we do not hesitate to say
that the guaranty given that we are getting the
work, both in letter-pres and Illustrations, like
the English edition" is not being carried out in
good faith. In other words, we are not receiving
what WE contracted for.
So fa1 as we have examined the american
Reprint" published by J. NJ. Stoddart & Co., it
is faithful reproduction in subject-matter of
the original text, maps and plates. 1t is well
printed on excellent paper, is well bound and is
in better form for the shelves and ordinary hand
ling than quarto.

THE REPUBLICAN National Conven-
ton, which had almost an all-night ses-
sion last night, reassembled at II o'clock
this forenoon. The night session was
consumed in the consideration of the con-
tested seat cases. The three contesting
anti Grant delegates from Alabama were
admitted to their seats, and recommended
by the committee on credentials. The
question of the Illinois contests was
warmly debated and finally decided by
the admission of the eighteen contesting
anti-Logan district delegates from the
first. third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth,
thirteenth and seventeenth congressional
districts. To-day the consideration OF
contested cases was resumed. That OF
Kansas came first after debate, the four
contesting Grant district delegates We're
admitted, the vote standing, ayes, 476 /;
noes. 1874. The same principle as that Of
the illinois cases was involved, namely:
the right of the fairly chosen delegates o.
congressional districts. Forty-eight O
the New York delegates refused to vote
on the question. Then came up the
question on the contest from the thlro
district of West Virginia. me Iesul1
was the admission of one Grant and one
Sherman delegate. Then came up the
Utah contested-soAU case. After debate
the two contestants Grant men) were ad
mitted. This finished the contested
cases, and the report of the committee Oh
rules then came up. A test vote ON the
q unit rule was had, resulting in the re
lection, the vote standing 276 yeas, AIS
