Special to the REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 26, '81.
The question which now agitates
political circles is, what shall be done
toward refanding? There is developing
so much opposition to the present bill
from the National Banks, and outside
the Democratic party, that ancient
enemy of the public credit, there seems
so small an amount of sentiment ia its
favor, that it is thought by many that
even in the event of its becoming a
law the President would veto it. In
the consideration of this bill the Dem
ocrats have shown plainly to the peo-
pie of the country how unfit they are
to be trusted with the control and
direction of the policy which is to make
or mar us, how totally lacking the
ability needed to introduce, mature,
and execute wise measurers of fnan-
clal legislation.
The threat of the National Banks
to withdraw their circulations if forced
to accept the new bonds as sole sscuri.
ty therefor is one which wiser men,
and men Of more extended financial
experience and knowledge than the
Democratic party seems possessed of,
would not have regarded in vain. So
far, abOut.s5, 100000 worth OfNational
Back securities have been withdrawn
to retire circulation, and there is no
telling TO what extent contraction of
the currency may be carried despite

OUR NEW U. S. SENATOR.


Following is brief sketch of the
new U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania
Hon. John l. Mitchell is member
Of the present Congress. He resides
in Wellsboro, Tioga county. He was
born in Tioga county, July %, 1888.
He spent his bOyhood upon his fathers
farm. He received common school
education and private instructions,
and passed some time at the University
Of Lewisburg, Pao iu 1857 to 1859,
but did not graduate. He taught
school for awhile, and when the war
broke out he entered the service, ssrv.
ing first as Lieutenant and afterward
as Captain of the l36th Regiment,
under Col. Thomas NJ. Bayne, and
made a record worthy of a soldier.
He was admitted to the bar of his
native county in 1864 and has since
been one Of its leading members, being
interested in most Of the important
cases. He was elected District Attor.
ney of the county in 1868, serving
three years. He edited the TSoga
County AgitdtOr during the year 1870.
He was a member of the State House
ofRepresentatives FIVE years, from 1872
to 1876, inclusive, served as Chairman
of the judiciary General and WAYS
and Means Committee. His abilities
made him the leader of the House
whilst he served in that body.
When he was elected District At
torney he succeeded Mr.. Niles, and
when hc was elected to the Legislature
he also succeeded that gentleman, who
is now among his most ardent support.
ers and warmest personal and political
friends. During his career in the Leg
islature he was prominently named
for the Speakership, but modestly gave
way for others.
la 1875, when he was still in the
Legislature, and without any solicita-
ton on his part, he was elected to
Congress from his district-the six
teenth. He had been put up by the
citizens, irrespective of party, and was
elected without opposition. In 1878
he was unanimously renominated, and
reelected, the vote being 11,133 for
him against 5,849 for Smish a Demo.
crat, and 1884 votes for Davis a
Gresnbacker. In 1880 he wrote
letter, copied all over the State, say
ing he was to poor to stand the ex-
pense Of a third term, and his declina-
tion was reluctantly accepted-so that
his membership in the lower house
ceases on March Sd. He will now,
all unsolicited by himself, be elevated
to higher seat, and will doubtless
sustain as Senator the record he has
made in other positions.
I Personally, he is said to be a man
Of very high character, and one whose
social relations are Of the happiest
nature.

Preserving Autumn Leaves.

When pressed, leaves of a solid color
do not have as striking an effect as those
with green or yellow center5 slightly
touched with crimson on the edges.
Young maple trees usually have brighter
foliage than those of maturer growth.
Oak leaves, if sought early, are some
times found of great brilliancy, and
these are particularly pretty because of
their graceful form.
Handsomer decorative effects are pro-
duced with boughs or twigs than with
detached leaves. Three or four grace.
full branches form a very handsome cor
nice for lace curtains, and there is no
richer frame for Il sOmber old engraving
than "A few sprays of many-colored
maple leaves, or II cluster of graceful
oak leaves. The boughs themselves
form a pretty picture if tastefully
grouped and nailed against white or
delicately tinted wall. Quite large
bOughs may be pressed between news
papers, two thicknesses of newspapers
between each bough The papers must
be changed every day for about ten
days, or the leaves will midew and lose
all their brightness. Some people pre-
fer coarse brown paper, as that need be
changed only once in two days.
After the leaves are dry, sprinkle
them with resin and pass a hot iron
over them. Be careful not to have the
iron too hot, or the leaves will shrivel
up. Resin gives slight but very beau
tiful gloss to the leaves, and preserves
them better than prepared varnish, lin
seed oil, parafline, and ice-water.

How GOuld's Riches Increase.

ton being the Elevated Road. He found

and at once purchased controlling in

controls the longest and shortest steam
roads in America-the Union Pacific on
the one hand and the New York Elevated
on the other. Everybody now predicts
that he will bring the latter out of all its
difficulties, but this is labor which will
certainly test his genius to its extreme
capacity. He has also had tremen-

Words and Their Uses.

Richard Grant White has written a good
phrases, and many Of his remarks are very
instructive and interesting. Primarily,
words were designed to express ideas, and
not, as Tallyrand said, to conceal them. II
genuine autograph Of Shakespeare, Milton,
Swift or Pope could be found, how it would
be priced and appreciated by the fortunate
finder!
The old Charter Oak at Hartford is Justly
cared for, and its history is priced beyond
anything else in 'nnecticut; and the public
throughout the lltcd States have vague
idea that it must have some intrinsic merit,
because the words "Charter Oak" have been
used as a trademark by the largest stove
factory in the world. For our own part, we
like to see ambitious manufacturers stamp
their goods so that buyers will know them
on sight. The CHARTER OAK STOVE rather
adds to the claims for generation of the old
Charter Oak at Hartford, and will be likely
to perpetuate it long after the original tree
is entirely forgotten. This is the way Of the
world. (5-2S)

What You Do, Do Well.

There is nothing attended with such
poor results as the careless transplant
ing of trees. 1t is positively painful to
watch and see what efforts are taken to
insure either the stunting or slow dying
of a newly transplanted tree. As tree
planting time is again at hand, it may
be of some value for us to make this
statement: One day last spring in driv-
ing along one of our principal avenues,
which abounds with many beautiful and
costly residences, we observed q party
setting out shade-trees in front of q re-
cently-built country-seat. 1t was sorry
sight. The holes dug were about the
diameter of the bottom of common
water-bucket, the trees meantime, with
most of their roots hacked off, were w.
ing in the hot sun ready to be stuck into
these holes as soon as they could be
bored through the hard, stony ground
on which the men were operating. Close
by these were rows of trees, which must
have been set out in the same way, as
they were all stunted, partly dead, and
had not grown six inches since they had
been planted, probably two or three
years before. They had, beside, no pro-
lection at all, but allowed to stand by
themselves, crooked, scared by ill-treat-
ment, and two or three had been broken
off some three or four feet from the
ground. 1t panied us to see the same
kind of planting renewed and contin-
ued, while one of the men appeared to
be gardener and naturally ought to
have known better. But there are many
persons who get employment as
gardeners of experience who really
know next to nothing about the proper
way of conducting a garden, and they
are kept simply because their employ
ers, whose business takes them much of
the time away from home, know still
less.
1t should always be borne in mind
that no tree ought to be planted within
reach of horses, cattle, or the small boy,
without being fully protected against in.
jury. And this is especially the case
along highways. There need be no ex-
pensive box. 1t may be constructed
out of rough boards and scantling, tax
ing eight narrow strips to a tree, but it
should be strongly done, and if so will
last many years. Another mode is to
make the protection in the shape of the
letter A, with strong cross pieces at the
bottom and top.
Unless tress along the highways, es-
pecially in front of residences, are very
large, they are liable to be gnawed by
horses, to which they are frequently
hitched. We have had some fine trees
badly damaged in this way. Hence we
have our trees protected, no matter how
large they may be.-GermantowB TCle,
