acy, can scarcely be understood, so in
artlculate is his speech. One may al
ways tell when he intends to address
the house. Before doing so he siezes
every scrap of paper lying near and
tears 1t up into very small pieces, max
ing decided litter on the floor about
him. Paul, one of the Virginia read
justers, is one of the best speak
ers in the house. Randolph Tucker
is said to be a brilliant orator, but
he usually disappointed his hearers.
George Washington Jones, of Texas,
the leading greenbacker, has the apear-
ance of a frontier farmer He dresses
plainly, lives the same, and talks plainly
IN an old-fashioned way, but he is,
nevertheless, man of ability. Ex-Gov.
Curtin does not say much unless some
republican taunts him and recalls his
desertion of the old party, which gave
h1m fame. Page, of California, always
speaks earnestly. His colleague, Gen.
Rosecrans, acts as though afraid to open
his mouth. His hair and beard are
now gray, and he finds it necessary to
carry a cane in order to get along.
Shallenberger looks like clergyman.
Ills spare figure is rarely seen, though
there is generally good order when he
addresses the house, for he usually
speaks to the point. Flower, the rich
democrat from New York, says nothing,
but smiles continually. Blanchard, of
Louisiana, is 33 years of age, and is
one of the youngest members ON the
floor. The youngest member is Frost,
of Missouri, who was 80 years old on
Dec. 90 last. Perry Belmont is just one
day older than Frost. Neither is scarce
ly heard in the open sessions of the
house. Belmont is said to be hard
student. Gibson, of Louisiana, is, or
was, college president, and is supposed
to be one of the deepest and best-read
members. Reed, of Maine, has not
very musical voice, but being a very
large man, with pair of lungs like
bellows, he always manages to make
his remarks heard by the entire house
Orth is getting along in years, and it is
with an effort that he makes himself
heard. Ranney, of Massachusetts, is one
of the bright men of the house. Miller,
Of Pennsylvania, new man this
session, distinguished himself by his
speech in the Mackey case, so much
so that Sam Randall made the remark:
81 didn't know that man before" Miller
has a very high-keyed voice, which he
handles in way that gives proper en-
phasis to the point he desires to make.
But there are many members who were
neither born great, nor can greatness
be thrust upon them. They sit by while
their brethren do the talking, content
with casting their votes for or against
a measure that may be up for consid-
eration.- Washington Cor. Cleveland

actually appeared at court in a silk suit
woven out of cocoons which the queen

impolitic to check French imports, so
the silk scheme fell through. The
Charlton trees had been planted at the
time of the rage for silk-making.

STEM-wINDING watches are now made
on different plan from what has been
customary, the improved system pos
sessing, it is thought, some special ad-
vantages. Thus, when it is desired to
set the hands, The stem is first drawn
out, which causes a collar on the end
of it to bear upon stud in the shorter
arm of two-armed curved lever. This
depresses the long arm of the latter,
which turns a yoke and disengages the
gearing from the handspring arbor,
connecting an independent wheel with
the hand-setting train, to which motion
is impaired by turning the stem. AS
soon as pulling on the stem ceases, the
yoke Is thrown back to its place by a
spring. Normally, another wheel, car
RED by the yoke, meshcs with the arbor
wheel of the main-spring. and is thus
always ready for winding by pressing
down upon and winding the stem. The
arrangement is simple.

A New Party.
OH the Albany Press.

If Mr.. Conkling proposes to organize
new party whose principles shall all
be as sound as that of his oldfashioned
notions on public economy, he will not
have for his followers the Robesons
and the John Reaches of the Republi-
can party, nor the class of Democrats
who are helping to engineer the swind-
ling River and Harbor bill through Con-
gress; but the farming and other labor
ing interests of the country, which pay
the bulk Of the taxes required to meet
these wasteful expenditure, would
gladly accept his leadership. And
thoughtful men everywhares, who be-
Iieve in the axiom that waste brings
want, and that the corrupt use of the
peoples money by those who control
the national purse-strings is danger
that menaces the life of the Republic,
would hold their party affiliations of
little account in view of the supreme
importance of such an issue.
