Our Native Woods.

1t is a remarkable fact that, while in
many parts of the West the timber belts
that are close at han contain an abund-
ant supply of excellent building material,
nearly all our buildings, public and private,
are furnished from basement to ridgepole
with an inferior wood brought from q dis
lance. For outside work in wooden struct-
ures, however. this wood is the best that
the country affords. PINE shingles, when
properly made and laid, and pine weather
boards well painted, make most effective
coverings for roof and wall. But when t
comes to inside finishing, 1t is certain that
the builder would profit by q change #
material. Three things are now exclusively
used for inside work, namely pine, paint
and plaster. All three are Objectionable IN
the score both of economy and good taste.
For stucco, (plaster of Paris is superior
to common mortar; polish is better than
paint; and the native woods are certainly
superior to pine.
1tis true hat pine, being q soft wood, is
easily worked, and that consequently pine
window and door-casings, base-boards, etc,
can be- got out and put up with less ex-
pense than those of hard wood. But it is
the softness of pine that renders it unfit
for inside finishing, since it is so easily de-
faced by the wear and tear to which it l.
subjected in living rooms. Moreover, pine
castings, doors, etc, must be covered with
laint by reason of the fact that when left
bare, or finished with oil, the wood grows
lark and dingy. Not so with til, hard
woods that grow on the borders of ouI
streams. Nearly all of them will take q
polish, which, when finished with oil or
covered with varnish, presents a bright ana
beautiful surface that will last for centu-
ries. A sugar maple board, for instance
| will when we'll seasoned and well worked
show a white, smooth, lard finish with
fine and delicate granting. Oak, (both red
and white,) furnishes a surface that nC
pigment can equal; and the grain of the
latter is, as everybody knows, especially
rich and varied. So too, white ash, wher
reduced to ~smoothness, displays in its
granting a variety of patterns which art
far more attractive than any color what
ever laid on with the brush. Now thest
bright, ~close-grained woods which are Sc
imperishable and SO susceptible of a beau
tiful polish, can be got at a lower rate pei
thousand than pine of a like grade. Why
then, should we go on using a defective
wood for inside work, and covering it witt
spurious limitations of the natural grains
when the genuine originals, thus c~oarsely
initiated, are within the reach of all The
intrinsic value of our native woods fol
floors may be urged with equal force. II
is true that if the floor is to be perpetually
hidden by that uncleanly article, the car.
pet, then third class pine is as good as any
other lumber; but if a better taste should
ever lead ms to discard this dust gathering
nuisance, then the hsrd woods will come
in play. For the best and most desirable
floors, whether plain or ornamental, ar,
made in this country of such woods a:
maple and oak.

that the commissioners should consult

US possible of ths contradictions
and difficulties in the tariff regulations.
On the question between specific duties
and ad valorem duties, the only rule, he
thought, was to determine which form
was the better for each particular arti-

der of the session was chiefly devoted
to pleas of quinine manufacturers for
duty from ten to twenty per cent.

Novel Fractional Currency.

1t is not generally known that if a 81
~greenback is neatly cut in two each, of its
halves is good for 80 cents at the Federal
Treasury. The same process can be car
ried on till the bill is divided into tenths
without injuring the aliquot value of its
parts. This has been suggested as an easy
way of obtaining small sums to send by
mail, now that the extremely convenient
fractional currency has disappeared; but it
it is not likely to be generally adopted; a
half note being n awkward thing to pass,
except at a bank. The popular objection
to such fragments comes down from a time
when one-half a bank-note was worthless
without the other half. 1t is so to-day in
England, and the division of a Bank of
England note is a frequent way of insur-
ing its safety when sent by mail. Major
lowers, a prominent officer in the Treas
ury Department, of long experience, pro-
poses that the back of one dollar green
backs be hereafter divided by the device
printed upon them into four parts, so rs to
be cut at pleasure, each quarter being good
in small sum for twenty-five cents. This
would enable the community to supply
itself with its own fractional currency at
pleasure, and it would also probably in
crease enormously the share of one dollar
notes which would never come back to the
Treasury.-Sprinafeid (Mass.) Republican.

ORIGIN OF "RooRBACKs.n-The word
IRoorback," according to Bartlett, is "a
falsehood; misstatement; a sensational
article without truth, published in the
newspapers" This account of its origin is
found in Mavericks Henry j. Raymond
and the New York Press for Thirty Years -
in September, 1914, a Wing newspaper,
the Ithaca IN. " Chronicle, received and
printed what purported to be an extract
from Roorback's Tour through the West
ern and Southern States in 1882 con-
tanning a description of a camp of slave
drivers on Duck River, and a statement
that forty-three of the unfortunate slaves
had been purchased of the Honorable J. X.
Polk, the present speaker of the House of
Representatives land in 1914 n candidate
for the Presidency, the work of branding
iron, with the initials of his name, on their
shoulders, distinguishing them from the
rest" The pretended EXTRACT was cop
led into the Albany Erening Journal, and
by the Wing press throughout the country.
A few days after its first appearance the
Democrats discovered that it was, in part,
taken from G.. W. Featherstonhaugh's
"Tour," published in 1884, but that the
name of Duck River and the italicized
statement respecting Mr.. Polk had been
~interpolated by the correspondent of the
Chronicle. Therefore it was easy to reply
to every charge preferred against the Demo-
cratic candidate by pronouncing it another
roorback."

PREnEDIrArED SECESSION.

notwithstanding Judge Beattie's dec
laratisp that he would abide by the re-
sult Of fairly constituted nominating
convention, it is now evident that he
came to Donaldsonville with conscious
ness Of the fact that he could not be
nominated, and u determination to bolt
and split the party, even at the cost of
the election Of the Democratic candi-
date.
The proof of these facts came from the
mouth Of Judge Beattie himself An in
,teliigent young colored man whom we
know to be reliable, wrote letter to his
uncle in this parish dated at New Or
leans OH the 5th of August, in which the
following statement is made: 81 had a
talk with Judge Beattie few days ago
and he said, I am positive the rascals
will beat me on the nomination, but it
will do them no goOd-it will only
strengthen Mr.. Acklen's chances"
$50 came to the conclusion that he
will run anyhow,'s added the writer of
the letter, and q very natural conclusion
it was.
When Judge Beattie wrote letters to
prominent Republicans throughout the
district last February announcing his
candidacy for Congress, he said nothing
about a nomination, but said that he
would be candidate cat the coming
election" There is now no reason to
doubt that liz intended from the outset
to stay in the field whether he received
a nomination or not. The attempt of his
followers to dignity the bob-tailcd con-
vention which Endorsed him with claim
of regularity is not only insincere, but
immaterial, since it is plain that Judge
Beattie would have declared himself n
candidate If he had not received the sup
port of solitary delegate.
He bolted with generalization he split
his party with malice aforethought; he
claims nomination OH miserable plea
Of unfairness that the veriest tyro in
politics would at once recognize as u
makeshift and snbterfnge; he insists on
keeping the field when lie knows. by his
own confession, that his candidacy en-
dangers Republican success il, the only
reliable Republican district of the State.
But perhaps We onghtn't to blame him
too harshly for these idiosyncracies, in-
asmuch as boiling is not only chronic,
but hereditary disease with him. He
bolted as a Democrat years ago just as
he now bolts as Republican, and We are
told that his father was an inveterate
bolter before him.
