The Way States Grow.

Talking one evening with Abraham
Lincoln, while he was President, said an
old friend 10 the Emancipationist, we
were estimating the relative influence of
men from different sections i'll the cOun-
ellis of the nation.
"Kelley, think the Western man will
constantly exercise greater influence Ill
the Houses of Congress.
why so?" said |.
'.Well, said he, ''do You know the
history of our beautiful corn, with ears
fourteen inches long, and grain of size
that our grandfathers had never seen ?"
''No, [ don't, said |.
well, it came here in little nubbins
about as long as your finger, and with
tiny seeds, and they were planted and
grew, and the farmer, during the winter,
picked ont the best ears, and he and his
good wife picked off again the finer
grains and these were planted, and thus
from year TO year the plant grew; but il
needed transplanting. and rs settlement
went West. and the tide of immigration
moved through Pennsylvania and New
York into Ohio. and thence still further
West; still the best ears were taken, and
the best grains We're picked for seed, and
thus by the time it got as far West as
what we call the Western States, the ears
had come to be foot long and the grains
nearly as long rs your thumb"
This. L know, was somewhat exag-
gerated.
"Now, said he, ''that is n good Illus
tration of the way States grow.

A Hint From Belgium.

Mr.. Tanner, the American Consul al
Liege, in a recent report to the State
Department ON the subject of public
highways i'll Belgium, says ''Many oi
the roads built by the ancient Romans
remain to this day"
Speaking of the modern Belgian high
ways, he says ''These roads are fianked
on either side by two and sometimes fon
rows of shade trees, which add much
beauty TO the country through which
they ruu, and from distance are par
ticularly picturesque where several roads
intersect."
Why can we not have shaded roads
here such as Consul Tanner describes ex.
ist in Belgium? Several of the States
have offered premiums for the planting
Of trees. but for some reason or other
very little has been done in this direc.
ton, except i'll States like Michigan
where n day specially devoted to the
purpose has become sort of holiday. II
farmers could be only made to under
stand it the planting of trees is a most
remunerative investment 1t adds to
the beauty of the country and to the
value of their lands.

Life in Manitoba.

The Montreal Star says: Agentleman
who spent portion of the monthof Oc-
tober in the town of Winnipeg, Manitoba,
says that the thermometer frequently
registered several degrees below zero.
But so great is the buoyancy of the eli
mate and the purity of the atmosphere in
this metropolis of Northwestern Canada,
that little Inconvenience is felt from the
cold A stranger, however, is apt to suf
fer from his inexperience. He was walk
ing, he says, on the street one day, and
feeling very comfortable, when a citizen
came up to him, and slapping him on the
shoulder, exclaimed: 'Tenderfoot, yer
nose is friz" And he found that this
was actually the case. He noticed aft
ward that people walking in the str
were in the habit of frequently slapssshg
their noses and ears to keep mp the circu
lation in those parts.

LONDON, June 1.-The Times, In a

French Cabinet proposed and Eng
land agreed to recommend that the
powers and Turkey hold confer
ence at Constantinople to settle the
Egyptian question on a basis of
status quo; namely, the maintenance
of the sovereignty of the Sultan,
position of the Khedive, liberties of
the Egyptians, as guaranteed by
Firmans. the prudent development of
their institutions and observance of
the international agreements.
A dispatch to the Times from Con
stantinople says representatives of
Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia
went ON Wednesday to the Porte
and supported demarche made by
the English and French ambassadors,
advising Turkey to support the Khe
dive and to summon the disturbers
of order in Egypt to Constantine

More Clothing Recovered.

Officers Jud Reeder and d. r. Hicks, of
the police force, returned on yesterdays
Ohio division train, from trip to the rail-
road works, in seach of stolen clothing and
thieves. 1t will be remembered that W. s.
Meredith, well known character in our
courts and an ex-convict, was ar
rested and jailed several days
ago, on the charge of several
thefts of clothing, hats and other articles.
Meredith seemed unwilling to suffer all
alone In the matter, and informed the Of
fcers that he had accomplices in the
matter He gave them the name
of Fred Lewis, section boss on Offuts
railroad works, as man having possession
of some of the clothes Consequently Off
GERS Hicks and Reeder secured a warrant
and went for him. They found Lewis, and
also lot of stolen clothing in the posses
sion of him and other men connected with
the work, but in every instance it was as
certained that the articles had been pur-
chased from Meredith.
Lewis was brought to the city and taken
before Justice Allison, but there being no
proof against him, he was promptly re-
leased.
A bundle of clothing, containing three OF
four suits, stolen from Mr.. John May Jen.
nings, was recovered by the officers. Lewis
had on a coat and vest, purchased from
Meredith, which Mr.. Jennings had not
missed, but readily recognized. He made a
present of that to Lewis. 1t was thought
by the railroad men that Meridith was at
tending auctions and dealing in clothing ID
that way.
Meredith has certainly been operating on
an extensive and wholesale scale. He was
brought out of jail and another case of lar
ceny fastened upon him in this case. Il
continues to accumulate on him, and by the
time he gets through he viii be entitled tc
board with Maj. O'Connor or Capt. Chumb-
ley for an ordinary lifetime.

anything she ever did. Mr.. How re-
piled that he was not foolish enough
to guess that she would be what
would mantle other peoples cheeks
with SHINE her people rolled as
sweet morsals under their tongue.
Mr.. Horr, in conclusion, protested
against the decision of the election
cases upon technical grounds, and
declared that he would vote for
Lowe, although to the sins of the
Democrat he added the foolishness
of a Greenbacker.
Pending further discussion, Mr.,
Cannon, of Illinois, reported from
the committee on appropriations, the
Legislative, judicial and executive ap
preparation bill, the items of which
have already been published, and it
was referred to the committee of the
whole.
Mr.. Hiscock, from the same com,
mittee, reported back the general
defc ency bill, and it received SINH
lar reference.
: The election case then went over
until tomorrow, when the previous
question will be called for early in
the session, and the House, at AIS
adjourned until tomorrow,

Striking Laborers.

WARRINGTON, d. c., June 1.-The
hod carriers of Harrisburg struck
to-day for an advance of 25 cents
per day, and building operations
stopped. They have been receiving
S1.75 per day.
PITTsBURG, June 1.-The fires in
every iron mill in this city, with one
exception, have been put out, and the
mills have shut down. The excep-
ton is the Union iron mills of Cour
gle Brothers & Co., who signed the
scale last night. They will continue
to run, having contracts on hand
that must be filled. This is gener.
ally considered bad break, and is
calculated to weaken the lines of the
manufacturers. It is one of the
largest iron mills here, and has Ca
paci'y of 100000 tons per year.
The steel mills are running as
usual. Most of them have signed
the scale, but as they do not employ
many puddlers, it is not thought
their running will have any effect on
the situation. It is expected that
most of the sheet iron mills will sign
within few days. 1t is generally
believed that the strike will be of
Ing duration. Those mills which
have suspended operations will take
advantage of the condition of affairs
to make needed repairs.
Reports from some of the points
where the iron workers struck to
day give the number of men out as
follows: Louisville, ESQ; Chicago,
1,200; Cincinnati, 1900; Youngs,
town, Ohio, about 10000; Pittsburg,
about 10000. At Shomakin, Pa,
the miners in Birch Ridge colliery
struck for more wages. The iron
masters at Cincinnati expect that
their workmen will resume very soon,
as a contract is still in force
between the Amalgamated Associ-
alton OF Iron Workers and the Gins
cinnati employees, which was made
some months ago, on the occasion of
the local strike. The present move
ment in Cincinnati is not sanctioned
by the union and all local officers of
the union are at work. They have
appealed to the officers of the central
organization to intercede in behalf
OF the existing contract.

tro)ler Knox, as omDissioner of the

ment of Is per cent. dividend to
the creditors of the bank, located in
Washington. Payment to creditors
outside of the city will be made very
soon, and due notice will be given
through the press.
The Star Route trials began to-
day. Mr.. Ingersoll, in behalf of the
Dorsey brothers, opened with re-
quest for leave to withdraw their
plea of not guilty, and to enter

SOME of Judge Houk's friends
give him credit for every pension
that has been issued to an ex soldier
in his district during his term of of
fee. He has nothing to do with OBJ
tanning pensions, except in peculiar
cases where special act of Congress
is required, of which there are few.
But there is one pension for procu-
ring which he is entitled to all the
credit-that of his own. Our infor-
nation is that his first payment
amounted to about three thousand
dollars-or more than five times the
entire amount of soldiers pay for
three years of service. What his
disability is would be hard to guess.
And why he had his name placed on
the roll at Washington instead of {
his home Office is sufficient to incite
inquiry.

Trouble with Strikers.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The Joliet Iron
and Steel Works had a gang of 20
non-Union men, some colored, un-
loading iron ore at their docks here
yesterday and last evening they got
on board the Chicago & Alton
train to go to Joliet. When the
train stopped at the Pan Handle
crossing it was surrounded by about
fifty striking iron workers and their
friends, four or five of whom jumped
on the engine, and presenting revolt
vers prevented the engineer from
starting again Another detachment
entered the train and pulled out all
the workmen they could recognize,
including half dozen colored men,
and the remainder of the crowd took
them and beat, kicked and stamped
upon them, injuring them severely.
Many stones were thrown and shots
fired. One shot took effect in the
groin of Judge Pillsbury, of the
Illinois Appellate Court, inficting a
wound which it is feared will prove
fatal.
