HIS WORK IN CONGRESS.

"In the Fortieth Congress, General Garfield
was Chairman of the Committee on Military
Affairs In the Forty first, he was given the
Craftsmanship Of Banking and Currency, which
ne liked much better, because it was In the
\ line Of his financial studies. His next promo
ton was his Craftsmanship Of the Appropria-
I tion Committee, which he held until the Demo
Gratis came into power In the House, in 1875.
His chief work on that committee was steady
and judicious reduction Of the expenses Of the
government. In all the political struggles IN
Congress he has borne leading part, his clear,
vigorous and moderate style of argument max
ing him one Of TIE most effective debaters in
either House.
when James G. Blaine went to the Senate,
lin 1877, the mantle Of Republican leadership
in the House was, by common consent, placed
upon Garfield, and he has worn it ever since.
In January, 1880, Gen. GARFIELD was elected to
: the Senate, to the seat which was vacated
Z by Allen g. Thurman on the 4th of March, 1881.
He received the unanimous vote of the Repub
lican caucus, an honor never given to any man
Of any party in the State of Ohio. Since his
election he has been the recipient of many
complimentary manifestations in Washington

thoroughly aroused and strikes tremendous
blows. BIaine's tactics were to continually

VEGETABLE DIET FOR CHILDREN
DR.. L. S. Clouston is Lecturer on Men,
tai Diseases in the University of Edin-
burgh, and recognized authority in
this branch. He says, in recent arti-
Gle: "My experience is that children
who have the most neurotic tempera-
ments and diatheses, and who show the
greatest tendencies to instability of
brain, are, as a rule, flesh eaters, having
a craving for animal food too often, and
in too great quantities. l have found,
also, q large proportion of the Adde'S
cent insane had been flesh eaters, con.
Stunning and having craving for much
animal fooG. I have seen u change OF
diet to milk, fish and farinaceous food
produce marked improvement in re-
gard to the nervous irritability of such
children. And in such children most
thoroughly agree with DR.. Keith, who
in Edinburgh, foS many years, has
preached an anti flesh crusade in the
bringing up of all children up to eight
or ten years of age"

A Dollar Per Word.

The London correspondent of the
World. Mr.. Jennings, comments upon
the introduction of the American edi
torial paragraph into the London press,
from which, it promises in time to drive
the elaborate leading article" of the
past In this connection it is interest
ing to find the London telegraph quoting
with applause, as the shortest leading
article ever published, and the most
remunerative to the writer, an editorial
written for New York paper quarter
OF century ago by the late William
North. Mr.. North was asked to supply
the journal in question with an "edito,
rial calculated to intlict the maximum
amount of damage upon the temper
ance agitation. About what length
do you wish the article to be !? inqu
Mr.. North. The shorter the better,
80 it is to the point. Here is $50;
quality, not quantity. is what want
and what you can give me-" North
sat down and wrote the following sen
tenoe: 1--WE had rather see the whole
world get drunk of its own free will
than see one man kept sober by COM
pulsion." This duly appeared next day
as first editorial in the paper, its author
being paid for it at the rate of one dollar
per word. 1t is just now quoted with
much emphasis by the Liberal and pro.
gressive organs of public opinion in
Germany, apropos of the bill for the
repression of inebriety about to be laid
before the Reichstag by Prince Bis
uarck.

/" Man Overheard"

A scene OF intense excitement took
place yesterday afternoon on the depart.
ure of the Inmsn steamship City oil
Montreal, for Liverpool. The ship
was just hauling out of her slip, Law.
ing severed all connection with the
shore, when two men, who were easily
recognized as steamship fremen, came
rushing madly up tho pier, gesticulat-
ing wildly to those on board to come
back for them. No notice being taken
of their earnest entreaties the two be-
lated men were at loss what to do, but
in few seconds the number of people
assem- bled on the dock, who had come
down to see their friends off, were as
tonished to see one of the two raise his
hands above his head and plunge into
the water. Immediately the cry OF
imam overboard!' was raised and:ropes
were Immediately lowered from the
deck of the steamer. While all on shore
were gazing at the struggling form the
mans companion, following his fellow g
example, also took q header. Both
could swim and we're speedily along
side of the Montreal. More ropes were
lowered and life buoys were thrown
down to them. The man who took the
last leap clutched frantically at a rope
and was drawn up to the deck without
much difficulty, but the first one did
not fare 80 we'll, for although he had q
tight hold of the first rope that was let
down to aid him the few minutes i'm.
mersion in the cold water seemed to
have numbed his hands and he was
powerless to help himself. At this mo-
ment Michael Foley, night watchman
of tie Iuman dock, put off in skitf and
roWed toward the outgoing ship with a
stroug stroke. When he came up with
the drowning man the heavy swell
which was running prevented any
possibility of getting near the steamer,
and his adventure was fraught with
much danger, for the waves threatened
to swamp his small craft at any moment.
Another rope was lowered from the
big ship, and down it sped sailor,
who, seeing the precarious position of
the fireman. let go his hold, sprang
into the river and endeavored to tie q
rope around his exhausted shipmate.
This, however, was no easy work, for
the man had now become dead
weight, and the heroic tar, whose
heavy clothing hindered him consider.
ably, also became exhausted. The
steamer had already reached mid-stream,
and lay directly ir the road of other
boats, and it looked as though the two
men must be drowned, when another
sailor sprang from the Montreals
deck, and was quickly followed by q
third. More llfe-buoys were thrown
to them, and after good half-hour oil
wrestling with the waves the senseless
form of the fireman was dashed to one
of them aud drawn up over the bull,
walks. Tue sailor who first came to
the rescue was also III an extremely
exhausted condition, and it was with
considerable difficulty that be was
hauled aboard. The two other plucky
fellows soon joined him and the vessel
proceeded on her way.-IN. Y. Herald

NEARLY KILLED BY Flowers. Two
aristocratic beauties Of the Spanish
Colony in Paris, the Countess Multedo
and Senorita Penedo. had q narrow
escape Of being suff ,cated by natural
flowers in their hair and the trimming
of their ball dresses as they were re-
turning home from Queen Issbella's
last soiree in closely smut up carriage.
The flowers were profusely employed
in garlands. The ladies for some time
chatted gaily. Oae of them then be-
came silent, aud then the other. Count
Multedo, was with them, grew alarmed
when neither of them replied to obser-
vations he made and Questions he put,
and all the more SO that he felt OPP
pressed by the perfume of the flowers.
When he caused the carriage to stop
and opened the window he found them
insensible, but they soor recovered
when taken into the air. They, how
ever. caught severe cold from the
sudden exposure.

Stereotyping.

Speaking of Stereotyping, writer
in the New York E.caminer says:
The Times has one of the most com.

The forms" containing the type are
sent down. in all the offices, from the
upper floor on special elevators. An
endless chain rattles on and on until in
door in the wall Storm appears

swung upon a powerful bracket, and
turns fer enough to allow the "form
to be pushed upon q stationary iron
table. Paper in several thicknesses
and soft with paste is laid upon the
type. Thick felt is put atop of this
A long iron table made to pass under
a large roller slides by machinery
against the iron table on which the

felt are pushed upon the moving table.
The machinery is reversed, and the
whole is squeezed under the big roller
The table returns. The "form ~. is
next pushed into steam-press, where

takes five minutes to dry. The paper
is removed, and discloses the papie,

ly above the paper cast. A large Cal
dron of red-hot metal is at hand. In an
instant the mould is stood up on
end, filed, and as quickly cooled. The
mould is opened, perfect metal plate
is taken out, and as many more cast
from the same paper plate as may be
needed. In ten minutes from the time
a g. form comes into the foundry, it is
stereotyped into half cylinder and is
on the press. It is not necessary for
the workman to do any lifting of the
heavy form" SO convenient is the
arrangement of the iron tables. The
foundry of the Herald is also very large
and complete, as is that of the Sun.
All can do very expeditions work, but
all are not SO easy for the men.
