Manning was again refused, this time by MT. Conger, an opportunity to get vote on his Pacific Mail Contract resolution of inquiry, and 1t was finally referred to the Committee on the Pacific Railways.

Talking Twenty-Six Hours.
PATRIOTIC SPEECH AGAINST TIME TO
 KILL AN UNJUST BILL.

The longest speech on record is be- ,ieved to have been made by 8 member of the Legislature ofg British Columbia, named De Cosmos. It was in the inter est of settlers, who were to be defrauded of their lands. De Cosmos was in the hopeless minority. The job had been held back till the eve of the close of the session. Unless Legislation was taken before noon of 8 certain day the act ot confiscation would fall.
 The day before the expiration of the limitation De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m., and began speech against the bill. Its friends cared little, for they supposed that by l or 2 p. m. he would be through, and the bill could be put on its passage. One o'clock came and went, and De Cosmos was still speaking # more than entered upon his subject. Two o'clock came-he was saying, Gin the sec ond place." Three o'clock-he produced fearful bundle of evidence and insisted on reading it. The majority began to have suspicion of the truth-he was going to speak until next noon and kill the bill. For while they were merry over it, but as it came on to dusk they began to get alarmed. They tried inter- ruptions, but soon abandoned them be- cause each one afforded him chance to digress and gain time. They tried to shout him down, but that gave him a breathing space, and finally settled down to watch the combat between the strength of will and weakness of body. They gave him no mercy. No adjournment for din- ner no chance to do more than wet his lips with water; no wandering from the subject no sitting down. Twilight dark ened, the gas was lit; members slipped out to supper in relays and returned to sleep in squads, but De Cosmos went on The speaker to whom he was addressing himself was alternately dozing, snoring, and trying to look awake
 Day dawned and majority of the mem- bers slipped out to breakfast, and the speaker still held on. It can't be said it was very logical, eloquent, or sustained speech. There were digressions in it repetitions also. But the speaker kept on, and at last noon came to baf1ed majority, livid with rage and impotence, and single man who was triumphant though his voice had sunk to a whisper his eyes were srlnken and bleared anc blood-shot, and his legs tottered under him, and his cracked lips were baked and smeared with blood. De Cosmos had spoken twenty-six hours and saved the settlers their lands.

A Puzzle Victim.

The wretched victim of the Fifteen , puzzle, who has been shut up in a mad mans cell in Erie, Pa., spends the day chalking out the game on the wall. When visited by reporter last Monday, he cried: Ho ho ha ha I have it, have it at last Oh, thank God, can do it-13, IA, 15. Let me out-6, 7, 8, g. Where's my children i? I'll cut 'em into 15 blocks-1, 2, g., 4. Give me some water, wretches-13, 15, IA. Oh, my God in heaven, what shall I do? Ha ha! h! ! She's a daisy! She's dar- ling p and then the demented man be- gan to dance a breakdown. 'See here, , he exclaimed, beckoning to the reporter, "I'n show you how to solve it.",. He drew nail from his pocket, and lifting his manacled and bleeding hands high over his head, traced out sixteen squares on the iron wall. "There is $1, ,OOO re- ward fora solution of this puzzle, 3. said he, "and I have won it. Z It is mine ! mine mine p and then he began to beat his chest with his hands.

" "Vaseline."

4 new product made from petroleum
 is jelly called "Vaseline," which is of the greatest utility in medicine, phar- macy and for toilet use. Physicians au over the world have discovered its great value in the treatment of wounds, burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, oatarrh and every ailment where 6 Nniment is need- ed, and inc almost every ehospital in America and Europe this substance is now in constant use, and is acknowl- edged not only to be the best treatment, but also one of the most important re.
 cent additions to medicine. It is put up
 in bottles by the Ohesebrough Manu-
 featuring Oo., of New York, and as 0 family remedy, it is without 5oubt the best in use. Its healing and pain allay- ing qualities being superior to those of any known substance, while the speedy relief it affords for piles and chilblains is almost magical. As an emolient, Vaseliue is way ahead of anything else, as it renders the skin smooth, soft and clear, and our lady friends will find it not only the best, but perhaps the sole substance which will really preserve and restore to the complexion the hues of youth, making the cheek like velvet and the skin like satin. The complex ion powders in common use, are, as a rule, injurious to the skin and destruc- tive of any complexion, while Vaseline is entirely healthful and beneficial. There is also made |" Pomade Vase line" which is said to be of great bene> fit to the hair, keeping it soft and glos- sy, preventing and curing dandruff, and 6eeping the scalp healthful and free from disease, and from those objection able creatures which sometimes find @ dwelling there. Numberless instances are cited of how by the use of this DO. made thin and falling hair has resumed a vigorous growth. Both the pure Vaseline and the pomade are put up il twenty-fiv cent bottles and are to bt found at all first class druggists, and WI advise our readers to make trial of thiI wonderful substance, and we think they will find it's claims to merit not in tht least exaggerated. =.

and the same is true of green corn and [

and the same is true of green corn and many other vegetables. As for the South ern strawberries, raspberries, peaches, etc., for which so much is paid, they must be picked before they are ripe in order to bear transportation, and when they reach New York and New England they have wasted much of their fragrance on the sea air, and are insipid in com parison with the home product. Still they are to be found in almost every in- land village of the North, and though peppered with dust and partially decayed, find good market. Is there not an op- portunity for Northern farmers to SUD- ply this home demand for garden prod ucts? The canned corn of the Kenne- bee and Penobscot Valleys, "way down in Maine" holds high place in the mar ket, and the farmers of those northern regions are reaping rich harvest from canning this delicious vegetable. What Maine farmer does, other farmers cer- tainly can do. Nor should the canning be confined to corn. This, in our expe- rience, is the most difficult of all vegeta- bles and fruits to can with success. To- matoes are canned far more easily and surely, and are in greater demand than corn. Tomatoes will keep well if only cooked partially, and while hot bottled or jugged, with tight-fitting corks. To make assurance doubly sure, 8 little melted beeswax can be poured around the corks. Practice will enable any skill full housewife to preserve all garden vege- tables and fruits as long as glass and tin will last

Before SebastOpOl.

remember four of the finest men in our "grenadiers who belonged to No. 1 tent of that company. One night, wrapping their damp blankets about them, they lay down together in their place near the slit in the tent-side called 8 door. That night the ice king seized all nature with terrible grip, and in the morning, when the starving, haf-frozen buglers sounded the call to arms, a great number were missing, and these four among the rest. The sergeant of the company who called the roll that morn ing endeavored, first by nudges, and then by kicks, to arouse them. Pulling the blanket from the face of the form nearest the door, he started back exclaiming, My God they're dead" They were dead, and frozen tight to the ground, too, never to rouse till the last "fall in " is sounded by the angel trumpeter.-Bostom Commercial Bulletin.
