James X. Polk was the only speaker of
the Hous: of Representatives who was elect
ed President of the United States. Polk
was speaker for two terms. The only man
filling the office of speaker who was elect cd
vice-presldent is Schuyler Colfux OF Indiana.
Cofax was speaker for three terms.
Henry Clay of Kentucky held the speak
ship for the long period of 10 years-lhe
longest service on record. Andrew Steven
son of Virginia filed the office for seven leg
isative years. Stevenson was Richmond
lawyer who had received training as
speaker OF Virginia House OF Representatives,
of which body he had heen for 90 years q
member. He WAS subsequently sent as min
lister TO England, his successor in that office
being iward Everett. Nathaniel Ma

successive terms, and each served

for the larger part Of this time in the SEN

There have been SO speakers of the House
OF Representatives if We include the speak

a full legislative year. As "a years have
elapsed since the meeting of the first
Congress under the Constitution, this
would give the average period of SER

what less than three years. The State of
Kentucky has had the speakershp conferred
on three Of its citizens, who have held the Of

has enjoyed this hign office eleven years.
Next comes Massachusetts, whose represeu-
ta,ives have occupied the speakers chair ten
years. Pennsylvania aud Indiana have each

amounted to nine years for each State. OF the
original thirteen States Delaware and Rhode

roof and dome.
The ilrst floor OF the massive building is
occupied for business purposes. Ga the sec.
ond floor are the offices of the grand master,
grand secretary and the hall of the Grand
Lodge. The third and fourth floors are d.
vided up into lodge and chapter rooms, and
are occupied nearly every night in the week
by many of the prominent lodges of the
city. Above this is the mansard story, the
asylum of the Knights Tcmplar, and the
rooms OF half dozen Communicates The
rooms here were handsomely fitted up.
Towering above the roof was a handsome
dome. AT 1890 great volumes Of smoke
were still pouring from the roof, but soon
after it became evident that the firemen had
the flames under control. As the building
below the mansard is fireproof, the firemen
devoted their energies to saving that portion
they could OF the mansard Story
After two hours fighting, the spread of The
flames was prevented in the mansard portion
but they were still raging in the roof. 1t is
iilhcuit to make any correct estimate of the
losses, but many persons think that they will
not fall short of 800 900, as the costly fres-
Going and other decorations arc DESTROYED.
The mansard roof is destroyed. The two
paintings OF General Roome and that of DR..
Kane were saved. The furniture of the
Austin room and the commandery room is a
total loss, with many valuable uniforms and
regalia, the property of members. The
library in TIE mezzanlne story was saved.
The loss on the furniture and contents will
be S25, 900, on which there is an insurance of
$4,000.
The total loss on the building will reach
$4,000. The roof is destroyed, and in the
rest OF the building the damage is wholly by
water. The insurance on the temple amounts
to 500, OOO, distributed among eight COM
panies; $4,000 OF this amount is carried
by the Manufacturers OF Boston. The great
crowd that had gathered was with difficulty

the revenues through a reduction of the
present rates of postage.

postage from to 2 cents, would place this
country on IN equality with any other in
respect to cheap postage. II is believed that
less than Q per cent of all the letters conveyed
In the mails exceed half an ounce in weight,
thus requiring double postage. On these
there would be small loss by increasing the
standard of single postage weight to ore
ounce but the revenue of the remainder,
say "a per cen: OF all, would not be do
minshed, while the loss on the small number
in excess OF half an ounce would doubtless
be more than compensated by the increased
postage on small packages of merchandise
which would be sealed and sent as first class
matter. BY adopting the ounce standard the
people would be still further Accommodated,
and Gen. Gresham believes that large pro-
portion of fourth class matter would be sent
under seal, paying first-class postage. The
revenue Of tue department would thus be in
creased without materially increasing the
bulk or the weight of the mails.
As to the finances OF the posiofice depart
men', last year there was a slrplus revenue
