Some speculations with Regard to 1t.

Some SpeculatiOns with Regard to It.
Washington SDeciaE Courier-Jouy1aI. sd.
The making of the committees is now
the order of the day, and already the new
Speaker is busily at work.
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, will, of course.
be Chairman of the Ways and Means. He
has not merely earned it by his services,
and entitled to it by his record, having
been its Chairman under the Iamented
Kerr, but he is the embodiment of
revenue reform. Mr.. Randall is
conceded the Craftsmanship of the
appropriations by stretch of
generous courtesy which he does not de-
serve, for, after beating Blackburn four
years ago by very scant vote, he practi-
cally ignored him in the construction of
his committees. By the recent caucus
vote, of which he received little more than
fourth, he is entitled to no other con-
sideratIon than Mr.. Carlisle sees fit to
give him. The new Speaker, however. is
child in goOd-natured forgetfulness, and
will heap Goals of fire upon his head in
the form of kindly recognition.
Among the changes which are to be
made, Perry Belmont is strongly urged
for Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. He is type of the young DemOc-
racY-brave, conscientious and enlighten-
ed. His leanings are for foreign affairs and
ihOSA lCAehilOiiSs ne vi
this committee has much necessary inter-
course with the diplomatic corps located
in Washington, and, being a gentleman
of fortune, with an establishment of his
own, Mr.. Belmont is in a condition to
discharge all needful cOurtesies and hos
pitalities of the situation. He has been a
steady friend of Mr.. Carlisle, and IS a
thorough revenue reformer.
OF course John Randolph Tucker will
have the Chairmanship of the Judiciary,
as, if the Democrats come in, he will be
Attorney General. He is conceded to be
the ablest lawyer of the House. Blount,
of Georgia, is another good and true man,
who has never had his deserts. He will
get them now. So will Albert Willis, who
has shown up bigger man than was be-
fore suspected. Joe Blackburn is modest
and unsOlicitous. He says to Carlisle,
ego along and make your committees for
the best, and don't mind me-"
The Ways and Means Committee is the
real job, and it ought to be and will be
thoroughly revenue reform. 1t is be-
lieved it will consist OF eight revenue re-
formers and five protectiOnists, four of
these to be Republican and one Demo-
crat. Here is shrewd guess of its com
position:

The Defense Secures an Advantage by
Gaining a Change of Venue.
UNIONTowN, PA, Dec. 5.-The session
of court to-day was entirely occupied with
the examination of jurors summoned to
serve in the Mutt case. The panel en-
braces 80 jurors. Fifty have been exam
ined and but one secured out of that num-
ber. The counsel for the prisoner stated
this morning that they would base the
defense entirely on the theory of emotional
insanity, and they have summoned large
number of witnesses to prove that the
prisoner has been peculiar from his in
fancy, and that he was imbued with an
uncomfortable desire to take life. The
trial promises to be protracted and ex-
citing.
UNIONTOwN, PA, Dec. 3, II P. NAT
the afternoon session of the court the
panel of jurors was exhausted and only
three had been sworn. In despair the
counsel for Mutt moved for a change of
venue. This was granted and the case was
ordered to be certified to the courts of ALE
gheny county. The intention is to secure
as speedy a trial as possible, and it is
thought that arrangements can be made
to begin in two or three weeks. The
change is considered by Mutt and his
friends to be greatly in his favor. If pos
sible the opinion that the killing of Dukes
was justihable is more pronounced in
Pittsburg than in Fayette county, at
Nutt's home. Dukes has many friends,
especially among a certain class of poll
ticians in Allegheny. No political feel
ing has entered into the case, and a YER
dict of acquittal is expected.

excited condition of things. The resolu-

were added to the committee. The second
report advocated the support of the law,
provided as speedy a trial as possible be
had, and advised them to return to their
homes to await the action of the court.
Judge Spratt, on reconvening the court.
directed the Sheriff to arraign the
prisoner Posey at 4 O'Clock, with a
posse to protect him, At
mass meeting of citizens part of the
crowd left the building protesting against
any delay. They gathered outside of the
court house, and until dark, with aug

mandlng the lynching of the prisoners,
Inc authorities feared to bring the pri-

sent from Montgomery.

= BARNsTABLE, MASS, Dec. 5.-The trial
of Freeman, of Pocasset, the fanatic, for
the murder of his little daughter Edith in
a religious frenzy, in May, 1879, was COM
menced here to-day in the Supreme Court,
where the case had been carried on an
appeal. The testimony in regard to the
crime was the same as that given on the
former trial. A couple of medical ex-
perts gave their opinion that Freeman
was insane. All the testimony in regard
to the killing indicated that it was the
result of religious frenzy. His wife said
that her feelings were the same as her
husbands when the child was killed, but
presently they entirely changed. The
jury were out but a few minutes when
they returned with verdict of not guilty.

LORD LORNE LECTURES.
Canada Landed to the Skies by the Late
Governor General

BIRMINGHAM, ENG, Dec. 5.-Lord

too common in the United States were un-
known within the boundaries of the Do
minion. He lauded Canada as d
held Tor emigration, and expatiated
upon the marvellous progress made
by the various towns. He instanced Pic
tou, IN Nova Scotia, which he said with
Its cheaper labor will soon rival Glasgow,
Belfast and London as an iron ship build
ing port. He said that Toronto is one of
tSe most prosperous young cities upon
the American continent, and one that is
destlned to have great future. He con-
Guided by saying that the Canadian
people are thoroughly devoted to their
connection with the mother country. 9TH

carded their allegiance, of which thev are
proud. With the Dominion of Canada
and the Australian colonies in close re-
latlOns, England need never fear
that her proud position in the world will
be shaken or questioned.
Sir Charles Tupper, the Canadian High
Commissioner, in seconding the vote of
thanks to Lord LOrne for his able and in

She Looked Like Her Great Great
GRANDMOTHER.



A few days ago Miss Jennie HaZen, of
Angola township, was passing a second
hand picture Dealers store in Buffalo
when she noticed among some old paint
ings picture that was a striking like
ness of herself. Looking at the reflection
of herself in the window and then upon
the old painting, the resemblance was
wonderful. The young lady, who is only
l6 years old, returned home to Angola full
of her discovery, insisting that some one
had been painting her picture and ar
ranging her as fright (the girl of the
painting was dressed in the style of the
last century,. Incited by curiosity some
of the family went to Buffalo, and. upon
seeing the picture, were as amazed as
Miss Jennie. Their bewilderment was in
creased by deciphering the name Jennie
on the back of the painting. 1t also bore
the name OF the artist, Richardson, Phila-
delphia." The painting was bought for
SO 90 and was sent to the young ladv's
grandmother in Erie, Mrs. DR.. NJ. J..
Clark, who recognized it as the portrait
of her grandmother, Jennie Elizabeth
McMichael, an intrepid Philadelphia girl,

The New Senators.


When the Senate met great interest was
taken IN the cut of the new Senators.
They compare fayOrably with the older
members, both as to soberness of attire
and external indications of political acu-
men. Perhaps the most gentlemanly-
looking of the lot is Senator Cullom, of
Illinois, whose pleasant. intellectual face
invoked much favorable criticism. Pal
mer, of Michigan, has a Ben Butler cast
of cOuntenance, but his optics are
straight. He parts his heavy, badly-trim-
med hair in the middle, and brushes it in
sweeping angles down his furrOwed
brow. Wilson, Of Iowa, is a canny-
looking, middle-aged gentleman. with
thick, steel-gray hair, clOse-trimmed
beard of the same color, and face de-
noting a good amount of sound sense.
COlquitt, of Georgia. has a sagaciOus-
looking forehead, from which his iron
gray hair is brushed behind his ears. He
seems like a man of parts, with will
strong enough to make himself felt. The
other fresh Senators, BrOwen, of Colo
rado: DOlph, of Oregon; Gibson, of Louisi-
ana; Kenna, of West Virginia; Mander-
son, of Nebraska; Pike, of New Hamp-
shire; Riddleberger, of Virginia, and
Sabin, of Minnesota, are fair types of the
ordinary legislator.

of typhoid and malarial fevers among the
students at Yale College is puzzling the
faculty, The professors aver that the
sewerage and drainage of the college
buildings are perfect, and they cannot ac-
count for the unusual illness that has

ofdeaths have, however, been exaggerated.
But two students have died of typhoid fe-
yer, and one of these contracted the dis
ease abroad during the vacation. There

dents more or less i'll from malarial fever,
but there is no great alarm, and it is

will be fully as good as that of anY other.
