The special committee of the House upon
the fnteroceanic canal held a Deeting to-
day to consider the bill which provides for
the incorporation of the maritime canal OF
Nicaragua. 3. 8. Phelps, representing that
company, appeared before the committee
and made statement in support OF the
proposition. He questioned the accuracy
OF the report made by Mr.. Nimmo, Chief Of
the Bureau of Statistics Of the Treasury
Department, some months ago as
to the tonnage that would
probably pass through al interoeeantc
canal, and showed the errors made by Mr..
Nimmo In his calculations that the tonnage
would at least be three and q half million
tons. Assuming that 100000 tons
would pass through the canal an
nually, the traffic would produce with
toll OF 81 80 per tou) $7500.O00 a year,
or net gain of Sc, ,OO0, 900, equivalent to
six per cent. on one hundred millions. Mr..
Phelps was engaged In responding to the
members of the committee On various points
IN the bill when the hour of adjournment
came, and the committee adjourned until
Monday next.
On motion of Mr. Whitthorne 1t was
agreed that ex-Secretary OF the Navy
Thompson, as The representative of the
Panama RlIlroad Company, shall have q
hearing next Monday. Mr.. Elds, accom-
panied by his counsel, Mr.. Cochran, was
present during the meeting today and viii
probably be heard also By the committee on
Monday.

The Humboldts.

The circumstances surrounding tho early life
OF the Humboldts were peculiar They pre-
sent a contrast to those against which most of
the young men who in that age rose to intel
lectual eminence in Germany had to fight
their way. The Humbodts were OF good fam
lily, and they were born to ample fortune.
Possessed of these unusual advantages, they
were deliberately submitted to intellectual in
fiuences calculated to stimulate the activity of
susceptible minds in the direction of ideas
floating plentifully in the atmosphere of the
learned world, but from which men of their
order were apt to shrink. The spirit of the
great Frederick's principles pervaded the
economy of the paternal homestead. Their
father had fought as distinguished soldier
under that great General, and had lived as
member Of his household at his Court, becom-
ing imbued with those habits of attention to
duty and with those tastes for culture which
were sharply incueated by that strict disciple
marian and SOOTHING free thinker. Left under
the care of their mother, a woman of superior
qualities, on the fataer's death the brothers
were sent to Gottingen, then university con-
tanning teachers of great eminence, well calcu-
lated to stir the minds of eager youths. There
they learned to know the caustic and humorous
Lichtenberg, and Heyne, the classical scholar
and there, too, they became acquainted with
George Forster, husband to the romantic Therese
Heyne, himself a humanitarian enthusiast,
burning with eloquent and fascinating sympa-
thy for the new gospel which was being then
preached upon the ruins of the Bastile, and
who was, besides, possessed of attractions hav-
irg peculiar interest for Alexander from hay
ing been the companion of Cook in his then
| unparalleled voyages of discovery. The man.

The Time Consuming Match.


Mr. Edward Prince, splint manufacturer of
Horseshoe Bay, Buckingham township, is au-
thority for the statement that there are about
% match factories in the United States and
Canada and that the daily production-and
consequent daily csnsumption-is about
% 600 gross. 1t may seem queer statement
to make that 100000 hours of each successive
day are spent by the people of the two count
tries in striking light, but such is undoubted-
ly the case. Iu each gross of matches manu-
factured there are 144 boxes, so that the % 900
gross produces 5000, 900 boxes. Each box, at
least those made in the States where duty of
one cent upon every box of matches is levied
contains 100 matches, so that the number of
matches produced and used daily amounts to
800, 900 900. Counting that it takes a second
to light each match-and it is questionable
whether it can be done in less time than that,
while some men occupy several minutes some
times in trying TO strike light, particularly
when boozy-to light the 360,O00,0O0 would
take just that number of seconds. This gives
6,000,000 minutes, or 100000 hours. In days
of twenty-four hours each il figures up to A, 1866
&. and gives eleven years and five months,
with a couple of days extra, as the time occu-
pied during every twenty-four hours, by the
people of North America-not figuring on the
Mexicans in striking matches. Figuring a
little further it gives 4, ,159 years time in each
year. The fact may seem amazing, but it is
undoubtedly quite correct

| ner in which the enthusiasm for novelty oper-
ated ON the brothers was not the same. Will
| liam, the metaphysician, proceeded to Paris to
| study on the spot the phenomena of the regen-
GRAFTON OF the human race. Alexander, on
the other hand, accompanied George Forster

land and France, studying in his company the
secrets OF natural science, and foreshadowiny
In this expedition the impulse which ultimate.
ly drove hlm to explore the great South Ameri-
can continent. Neither of the brothers. how
ever, allowed himself to be carried away. as
happened with the less steadily balanced Fors-
ter, by sympathy for liberal maxims into wild
transports of revolutionary rapture. 1t was
capital characteristic of their fnely-grained
and wellset natures never to fall into exagger-
ations, and yet not to be wanting in generous
sympathies. The Humboldts had not the fibre
out OF which demagogues and democrats are
made, but they had in their nature that in
stinctive aversion to prejudice which is the
warrant for abiding liberalism of mind Will
liam served his King with true Prussian loyal
ty, but never lent himself as an instrument in
that wholesale prescription of liberalism, even
in It's faintest shade, which came to be regarded
as principle OF State under the ascendency of
the Holy Alliance. He consented to serve his
King for while in posts where he could do
so without compromising his convictions; and
when he found that this could no longer be
done he cheerfully withdrew into the retreat
OF his country seat at Tegel, and gave himself
up with pleasure to intellectual studies Alex
ander, on his return from his distant and ad-
venturous explorations was received with uni
versal distinction, and was admitted by his
sovereign to unusual favor. Like a true Prus-
sian gentleman, he deemed it a point Of duty
to respond to the call; but though the constant
companion of the King, he never stopped to
the unworthy arts of the courtier. Throughout
the years OF political reaction, though often an
inmate of the Palace, Alexander Won Hum
boldt at no time disowned his friends of liberal
principles, and never disguised the very hereti-
cal opinions he entertained on cardinal points
from those held by his crowned master and
patron. And there is another feature in both
these brothers which demands special notice.
They both were conspicuously distinguished
from all other stars Of the first magnitude in
the armament of German letters, by the very
cosmopolitan tone of their refined and accom-
plished natures. They were eminently cti-
zens of the world, in their intellec ual tastes
and habits.

Letters of Solid Silver.

lfHglnla Clty, New, EnterpflsoJ
The block of granite which Nevada contrib
utes to be placed in the Washington monu-
ment was yesterday receiving the finishing
touches at the hands of the sculptor, John
Barrett. The last of the silver letters in the
name of the state was just being let into the
panel. These letters are of solid silver, are
about as thick as a silver dollar, some six inch
es in height and of proportionate width. They
are so neatly fitted into the solid granite that
the joint is almost invisible Above the word
Nevada" is deeply cut in granite the motto Of
the state-"All For Our Country''-and below,
the date, 1881. The figures of the date will be
plated with gold. The granite composing it is
the hardest ever seen. That part which is
polished is almost blue in color while the re-
mainder presents somewhat gray appearance.

The Outlook.

The unfavorable change in the Presidents
condition last week has revived the discus
sion of the political stu att on in the event of
his death. 1t is gratifying to observe that
The discussion is carried on in much calm
er spirit than in the week following the
'hooting, and that few if any now think
hat the accession of the Vice President
would be disastrous to the country. The
oolish panic is over While the death of
President G arield would occasion profound
grief throughout the land it would not be
considered as menacing the safety of our in
stitutions or tending to change the conser-
vative policy of the government.
Speculation is rife as to the policy of the
administration in the not improbable CON
tingency of the succession of Mr.. Ar
thur to the Presidency. and many fool
ish stories have been told concerning his
plans and conferences alleged to have been
held by him with his friends. Undoubtedly
there is not a word of truth in these reports.
Mr.. Arthur is not specializing upon the
chances of the Presidents death, and the
possibility of that event is as dreadful to
him as to any other man in the country. If
by sad fortune he is called to the succession
there is no reason to believe that he will
depart from the policy announced by the
political organization which elected him OF
change the course upon which the present
administration has entered and is now pur-
suing. His own conduct and the assurance
of those in his confidence unmistakably in
dicate this. The cry for ga change is
Democratic battle-cry. Republicans are
well satisfied now, and believe that the
country will prosper and remain at its best
as long as the government is conducted in
the wise and enlightened course it has fol-
lowed ever since the Republican party was
entrusted with power. As sin
cere Republican Gen. Arthur's sympa-
thies are entirely in accord with
the historic policy that has for twenty years
shaped national affairs, and as sagacious
statesman he will seek to give to that policy
the greatest and speediest effect. Animosi-
ties engendered of factional dissensions will
not influence him, and from petty jealousies
he is noticeably free. The country has
nothing to fear in the event of his success
sion.

The ,Judicious Waters at Carlsbad.

Not the least curious part of the effect of
these wonderfully impregnated waters is the
exactly opposite effect they have on different
people. Amusing dialogues may frequently be
heard in consequence. The daughter of a
conspicuous New York publicist had been
drinking from the Fredericksbrunn for some
time, when, meeting New York acquaint-
ance, young girl, she asked in astonishment:
"What are you drinking from this spring for?"
'To get fesh," promptly responded the other.
"Why," exclaimed the first, Indignantly, "I'm
drinking it to get thin" Then the two girls
tore over to their physician, celebrated pro-
fessor from Vienna, and beset him for deceiving

Mr.. j. E. Bryant, editor of the Southern
Advance, is advocating the very sensible
idea that the Republican party in the South
ought to be the party of all laboring men ir
respective of color, because their interests
are constantly overlooked or opposed by the
large landholders and country-seat LAWYERS
who control the Southern State Govern

work in behalf of a movement to bring into
the Republican ranks the industrious young
white men of Georgia who work for a living
and have nothing in common with the Bour-
bons, who despise labor because they once
owned it.

Mrs. GARFIELD has on more than one
occasion commented upon the injustice of
the criticisms made on the medical treat
ment of the President in certain newspapers
Recently. while conversing on the subject
with cabinet ladies, she remarked that if
the President should die, she would at least
have the satisfaction of knowing that he
had been treated by as competent and as
skillful surgeons as could be found in the
country, and that all that medical skill could
do had been exhausted in the effort to save
her husbands life.

The total area of Tennessee is 26, 800, ,0OC
acres, of which 10, 1896 acres are still GOV.
cred by the original forest. The forest acre.
age of Tennessee equals the combined tim
ber acreage of Maine, Minnesota, Wiscon-

that of West Virginia. The larger portion
of this immense body of timber is to be
found in East Tennessee, where in some
counties 80 per cent. of the surface is still
covered by the original growths.
