Preservation of Wood.

The increasing cost of wood in this
country has led to q great number of
experiments in preserving all kinds of
wooden structures exposed to the wealth
er from decay. Among the more re-
cent plans suggested is one for impreg-
mating wood with asphalt, combined
with some antisptic material. The
finished wood, ready to be put together,
is first submitted to neat to drive out
the moisture, and is then placed in a
hot bath composed chiefly of asphalt
and carbolic acid On cooling, the
solvent of the asphalt on the surface of
the wood that resists water and keeps
the antiseptic material securely locked
within the pores of the wood. The
exterior of the wood presents smooth,
black surface that does not need to be
painted. The process is about to be
tried upon large scale.-From "1he
Worlds Work" in the July CENTURY.

An Important Revelation.

1t takes some time to establish the
truth of history. We are the more
particularly minded of this circum-
stance by the debate in the house of
representatives yesterday on the bill
Of Updegraff, of Iowa, to determine
the presidential count. His bill au-
thorizes that writ of quo l0arranto may
be issued by any United States court
against the incumbent of the presiden-
tial chair by another candidate claim
ing the right to his seat. Some con-
slider this not safe, as Mr.. Hammond,
of Georgia, says it would Organize
hell in the United states" because
Judges would be importuned by shrewd
Lawyers in behalf of their political
clients to make constant mischief after
an election had TRANSFERRED. Abram S.
Hewitt, of New Y ork, one of the most
influential democrats in the house, also
denounced the measure, as he con-
sidered it perilous to allow the courts
already in existence to determine so
vast a question as the Presidency of the
United States. Mr.. He witt was in favor
of law providing for special tribunal
whenever such great exigency occurs.
Therefore he advocated the electoral
commission bill of 1877, and was will
ing to accept the responsibility of that
act and all its consequences, though
that commission deprived one of his

Census Clerks

Clerks in the census bereau are wait
ing since April for congress to make adj
ditional deficiency appropriation of $780,
600, that they may receive pay for their
services. The clerks last winter and
spring, it viii be rem embered, were
unable to get their salaries by reason Of
the exhaustion of the appropriation,
and until congress afforded them relief
they were paid with certificates of SER
vice done, which brokers discounted.
A department decision made it optional
with the clerks when the appropriation
for their relief was made whether
they paid anything excess of the per-
centage allowed by law to the brokers,
and the latter was consequently depriv-
ed of a great amount of brokerage. In
one instance a brokers' lost interest
was known to reach 5000. Now the
clerks are many of them in extreme
want, and the brokers refuse to have
anything to do with them.

Your Son.

In the educational column of an ex-
change we find the question: "How
can educate my son.? We are not
much on answering questions, but we
will try this one. Your example will
educate him; your conversation with
friends; the business he sees you con-
tract; the liKings and dislikings he
hears you express-these will educate
him. The society you I've in will ed
ucatc him; your domestic circle will
educate him; above all, your rank,
your situation in life, your home, your
table will educate him. 1t is not in
your power to withdraw from him the
continual influence of these things, ex-
cept you were to withdraw yourself
from them also. Education goes on at
every instance of time; you can neither
stop it or turn its course. What these

Vest on Allen.
AN ELOQUENT MEMORIAL SPEECH.

Senator Vest made the gem speech
in the orations over the late Represen-
tative Allen, to-day. 1t was waited for
with interest by warm and hungry
senate, which recognizes Vest as one of
its few orators. 1t well repaid any dis
comfort suffered for its sake. 1t was
eloeuen and simple as all such efforts
should be. Just before he sat down
Vest referred to the custom among the
Hindoo women when their loved ones
lay dying, of placing on the Ganges a
lighted candle in an earthen vessel and
watching it until it was out of sight,
confident that If the flame burned until
the vessel could be no longer distin-
guished, that tine spirit, loosing itself
from the body before them, would pass
as TRANQUILITY out of mortal sight. $50, "
said the eloquent little senator, "the
dear ones of our dead friend, watched
through MS long illness, the Pickering
flame of his life float down the river of
time until it passed out of mortal sight
to burst, we trust, into grant effulgence
on the ocean of eternity"

EXPOSING HEALTHY MEN TO SMALL Pox.

EXPOSING HEALTHY MEN TO SMALL POX.
The national board of health is ex-
cited for the first time in years. To-
day the secretary sent dispatch to
the collector at San Francisco asking for
the facts relative to the English vessel
in quarantine with Chinese afflicted
with small pox ON board. The story
that he told of the action of the author.
tiles recounts such brutality as to ex-
cite Indignation among the humanita-
rians, and has stirred up the board to
make inquiry, at least as to the facts.
1t is said that month ago an English
ship arrived at the port with 600 Chi
nese aboard, enc of whom had the
small pox. The officials not only re-
fused to allow them to land, but to go
aboard of lighters, and the 500 well
men were kept on the infected ship as
we'll as the sick one. What the result
from this improvised pest house has
been is not known. The Chinese sick
and well are said to be still on the ship,
which is reported to be reeking with
the loathsome disease, which has spread
among the unfortunate coolies since
the vessel arrived.

special FavOrs to Banks

Complaint has been made that the
directors of some of the national banks
of Richmond, Virginia, have been al
lowed by the comptroller of the cur
rency to take another oath in respect
to the rate of interest than that pre-
scribed by law, and that they have done
this in order to be able to charge usuri-
Gus interest, Senator Beck offered a
resolution, which was to-day adopted
by the senate, calling for copies OF
these oaths taken by the directors of
the Richmond banks in 1879 and 1880;
and if it shall appear that the law has
actually been violated in their case, the
inquiry will naturally be pushed in
other directions, and cover other cities
and towns. 1t is asserted by some that
many of these banks have charged
more interest that is allowed by the
state laws.

Character.

The notion that character is spon-
taneoug is held by most people in the
early part of their lives, and is wrong.
When they discover this, nine tenths
change to the other extreme. That is
wrong, too. Hosts of young men
think that their character will form of
itself, and that they will necessarily be-
come better as they grow older Hosts
of old men believe that their character
is fixed, and that it is impossible for
them TO become better. Such beliefs
are foolish. People are also wrong in
thinking that they can put off their
bad traits and put on good traits. The
old failures cannot thus be transform
ed, but out of the old habits new ones
can be formed.

He was only little lad,
Barefo and brown
With large eyes, wistful and sad,
And dark hair waving down.
Over the vine-clad hills,
From the golden Tuscan land,
By olive groves and by singing Fills,
With Lutte in his little hand,
He sang but his heart was sad
At the needless hurrying town
He was only little lad,
Barefoot and brown,
There were tears in his little voice,
He sang and played
No mother had ever heard
The sad. sweet songs he made
But only in dreams to him,
On the yine-clad hills, she sang,
And ever sweetest when day grew dim,
And the bells at yesper rang.
None knew the dreams he had
In the friendless, pitiless town;
