tablespoonfuls out into basin l then put a
little cold water into the pan, then added half
cup of milk, into which l had beaten two
tablespoonfuls of flour, then set the pan on
the stove, stirring the gravy every moment,
and presently had the satisfaction of seeing

cannot succeed if you put your milk and flour
into the hot grease it will be lumpy and will

were on the eve of surrender he rallied the
scattering hosts, and, waving aloft the bloody
shirt, he succeeded in forming solid phalanx
and snatching victory out of the jaws of de-
feat. He has fought the Democratic party
boldly, both upon the floor of the House and
Senate, and has contributed more than any
other single man to its success. Whatever
place he should be inclined to ask from
that party should be granted without ques-
tons, if fairness was the gauge. But he
has twice been treated with contumely when
all that he asked was the nomination of his
party over vastly inferior men. No man
among the nine who appeared before the
Cincinnati convention in 1876 could claim
to be his peer in intellectual capacity; none
of those who were before the Chicago
convention during the past week were his
equals in the elements that go to make up a
successful leader. He has been twice con-
temned by the party that owes him almost
its existence. 1t is probable that he will now
abandon hope of ever receiving his reward.
The race is not always to the swift nor the
battle to the strong. Blaine was both swift
and strong, and yet he has lost. Perhaps
his victory is great, however, because of the
fact that he has defeated the candidate who
most conspired against him, and set at
naught the schemes of the Senatorial trium-
virate that sought to accomplish his ruin.
While they will appear hereafter in the atti-
tude of vanquished gladiators, he will be
regarded as the Spartacus who accomplished

Cost of Iron in MedimraI Times.

The cost of iron and IRON tools was q
serious difficulty in medieval husbandry.
When iron implements were worth I'd a
pound, that is to say, atleast rs pound
in modern money values, the culture OF
the soil was superficial and the fertility
of the surface was rapidly exhausted.
Before the middle of Elizabeth's reign
the art of smelling cast-iron was discov-
cred, for good deal of the Queens
heavy ordnance was made from this ma
terial. Nor is the price of wrought-iron
trebled. as that of most other commodi-
ties is. In the fifteenth century it was
worth from e5 to 98 ton; in the reign
of Elizabeth from e10 to ETA. For, as
the success of agriculture is a measure of
the success with which other employ
ments can be prosecuted, as well as a
leisure class can be maintained, 80 the
inventions of the mechanic materially
assist the progress of agricultural art and
lessen the cost of its operations.-Con-
temporary ReUielO.

horses-or men-going about with lightning
rods in their hands praying for stroke of
the electric fluid. If, during the earlier bal
lots of yesterday, the Washburne delegates
had gone over to Grant, his nomination
would have been assured, for the delegates
from the other minority delegations would
have followed like flock of sheep. WASH
burne, however, never despaired of the light
ming stroke up to the last ballot, when the
stampede took place, and his followers rushed
with the bell-wethers of the flock and rem.
dered the nomination of Garfield GER
tainty.
The inevitable conclusion that the public
will draw is that Washburne betrayed his
friend Grant. A few days before the
convention met he declared his love
for him rs Judas did when he
kissed the Master in the garden of Geth-
semane. His name was kept before the CON
vention when its withdrawal could have
nominated Grant beyond peradventure. A
more perfdious course of action has never
been recorded in the history of American
politics.
But what can be expected of dog but a
bite. In his passion for Office, his self-seek-
ing, his ambition, Elihu B. Washburne but
followed the instincts of his family. They
are all supremely selfish, and have in the
past deliberately betrayed their best friends
when such betrayal was for their own advan-
tage. This member of the family simply
carried out his Unborn instincts -perfdy,
deception-with bone in view. To Wash
burne, more than to any other man in the
country, can be attributed Grants defeat
Like viper, he stung the bosom in which
he had been warmed.

FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS-.
Second Session.)
The Senate.

WASHINGTON, June 8.-House amendments
dered printed.
The Kellogg resolutions were informally laid
aside, and the sundry civil appropriation bill
was considered.
The amendment striking out the require
ment to pay all sums appropriated by the act,
in silver coin, was adopted.
The amendment devoting SIC, 900 of the ap-
preparation for taking the census, to expenses
to obtaining statistics as to the number OF
citizens denied suffrage by State
laws, was advocated by Wallace and Beck.
Senator Blaine opposed it, saying it was a
mere political twist

Maine is 80 prompt to call this political
trick
Twist" twist" said, interrupted Blaine.
Well twist" then, resumed Beck. Twist is
is a little better. Things have taken twist
pleasing to some Senators, and that may have
caused the Senator from Maine to lose his
temper, which he does not do very often.
Senator Blaine smiled good naturally amid
the general amusement and made no reply.
There was considerable debate on this amend
ment, in which Senators Wallace, Anthony and
Dawes participated.
Senator Morrill, then raised the point of order
against it on the ground that it changed exist
ing law. 1t was, however decided to be in or
der by party vote, excepting that Senator
Hill, of Georgia, voted no. The amendment
was further discussed by Senators Morgan,
Hill, Burnside. Salisbury and others. Pending

LONG LEASES, OR GROUND RENT.

HOaO the SustenI Works Ia Philadelphia
Offer OF Phtladelphtan.
To the Editor of the GLOBE.
1t was stated at some of our meetings that
a system similar to Longworth's Cincinnati
system of 99-year leases is in vogue in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Byron Woodward st.
Paul Philadelphia, has provided me one OF
the deeds conveying real estate under
the ground rent system. He
says the plan was adopted
many years ago, and is very popular. 1t is
called "selling OF ground rent" and is done
in this way. The buyer and seller agree on
the price of the ground. The seller deeds
the ground in fee simple, reserving ground
rent equal to the interest agreed on, which
the buyer is to pay half yearly until the
principal is paid off. Thus he is under no
obligation to pay at any time, but he may
pay it any time he chooses and stop the
interest. He agrees to improve, to make the
security better. The purchaser may pay part
of the purchase money in cash and ground
rent on the balance. if such is the agreement.
There are advantages to both buyer and
seller by this arrangement. 1t stimulates
the sale of real estate by making it easy to
purchase. 1t stimulates improvements and
multiplies customers, and, in the case of out
lying vacant tracts, doubles the value of
the sellers adjacent property, and in this
way he would be we'll paid, if he gave away
alternate lots, by the rise he gets on the
others. 1t is equivalent to selling his real
estate and putting his money at interest with
good security. He can sue for arrearage
of rent, and his judgment is personal one
and good against any other property. The
property sells more readily and at better
prices. The advantages to the buyer or
ground tenant, as he is called, are
that he can never be called
on to pay the principal. The Pennsylvania
courts have decided that he, as well as the
seller, is the owner of the fee in the proper
ty subjecting to the ground rent. He may
pay the principal aud stop this at most
any time.
Mr.. w. says he can readily borrow money
on it, for the lender knows that as long as
the rent or interest is paid, the ground
landlord cannot disturb the security,
and even then only to the
extent of the arrears of rent. 1t is only q
lien on it like taxes and assessments. He
says these ground rents now are in much de-
mand, and often, where we'll secured, bring
more than par, though when money was
not so plenty, they were not 80 popular, and
often sold alta heavy discountys for the rea-
son that the holders could never call in the
principal while the tenants might payoff the
principal at any time.
Mr.. Woodward offers to sell on this plan,
lots in Woodland terrace and Summit
parks.
All that is necessary to give us big build
ing boom here, and attrack hundreds as per-
manent owners to st. Paul and interested in
its progress is for real estate owners
to put low prices on portion of the lots, so
that the small rent to be paid will enable the
buyers to get money to build, and the waste
and desolate places will be made to blossom
as the rose. j. W. MCCLUNG.
