How the Senate Got Them to Club Til
den With.
Washington Letter to New York Tribunel
The general congratulation over the recent
Oregon election brings to mind some facts in
connection with the electoral count" and
the investigations of the two houses of Con-
gress in which an earlier Oregon election
played part; facts not generally known to
the public, but which even at this day may
be of interest to the public. In those days,
however, it may be at this time, all original
kilograms were, at certain periods, gathered
and sent to the main Office in New York for
deposit and preservation. The readers have
not forgotten the close and bitterly contested
result in the States of Oregon, Florida, Lou
isiana and South Carolina in the Hayes and
Tilden fight. 1t seems that an officer of the
Western Union telegraph company, who
could have access to these gathered teIe-
grams and who was a good Democrat, was
kept awake nights with the hopeful idea that
among all the kilograms sent back and forth
in regard to the canvass in these States by
the active Republican leaders, resident and
foreign, possibly there might be found some
thing to compromise these men and their
party, and, if made public, help reconcile the
country to the meditated attempt to seat MIR.
Tilden, or secure a strong sympathy if he
were counted out. So this telegraph official,
with stealth outrunning his cunning, went
to work. day and night with this mass of re-
turned kilograms at the New York Office and
picked out every telegram sent during the
campaign by any man of political eminence,
from or to the politicians of either of these
four contested States. He hadn't time for
sorting, SO he gathered all the kilograms,
cipher and otherwise of the men of both
parties, and stored them away in half
dozen capacious and well locked trunks.
1t will be remembered that during that
Congress the Democratic House had an in
vestigating committee smelling about for
whatever might be thought of service to the
claims of Mr.. Tilden, of which the late
Clarkson N. Potter was chairman-as honor
able gentleman as that party has had in
Congress for the last quarter of century
and it was committee we'll watched by the
Republican Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections. with that most yigilant of
Republicans, the late Oliver P. Morton, at
its head. When the Democratic official of
the telegraph company had his kilograms,
which were to shock the country and blow
the Republicans entirely out of water, safely
trunked and locked, he came on to Washing
ton, and at hurriedly called meeting Of the
Democratic members of the Potter commit
tee divulged his terrific scheme. Then was
the Democratic heart glad. And a subpoena

Scorpions.
From the 1,nnfny. Fio11

1t is wonderful that one doesn't hear of
more scorpion stings, considering how album
dant these pernicious insects are in nearly
every tropical and sub-tropical country. They
are fairly hardy, too, and will survive much
greater degree of cold than centipedes One
morning, when had just returned from
voyage and was repackirg and arranging
some things in my bedroom at the hotel in
Southampton, lively, vigorous scorpion fell
out of a shell upon my bare foot luckily, it
rolled off, and the carpet received the en-
pbatic tap of its tail which was intended as
a delicate attention to myself. A bath sponge
seems to be their favorite haunt, and it al
ways behooves one to carefully examine that
article before getting into ones tub in re-
gions where these little pests abound. I

got a nip once, and only Walking
along the main deck of a steamer lying in
Rio de Janeiro, loading up with coffee, being
barefooted and in the dark, I trod, as I
thought. on piece of glass; but drawing
my foot up instinctively, felt the tickling
of scorpions feet on my heel 1t seemed
to have curled up after it's tail The local
symptoms were about equal in intensity to
the bite of common viper the sting of
maribunda, but with less constitutional de-
rangement the ulcer was long time in
healing, however. There is CHASTITY story
told of a gentleman in India, who, pulling on
his boot one morning, felt horrid prickly
object in one of them. With great presence
of mind, instead of withdrawing it, he forced
his foot violently down and stamped on it
furi ously, though enduring exquisite agony
in the process. But it was not centipede,
only small backing brush left there by a
careless servant The Psylli of Pliny and
other historians, well their modern
descendants, who swallow live scorpions, and
carry them in their caps next their shaven
crowns, probably deprive them first of the
means of doing harm, as they serve the veno-
nous serpents with which they juggle, by
bunting their stings. 1t is, nevertheless,
very easy to hold a scorpion, and possibly to
handle them freely, when accustomed to
them. See how some people can pull about
wild rats and bees and ferrets without injury,
though taking ne apparent precaution. Mani
pulation of snakes, too, only requires little
observance of their weak points and respect
for their prejudices, which one glides into
insensibly by habit.
