Republican convention for re-nOm-
nation. and it is very doubtful whetlI-
er lie has any opposition He has
performed the duties Of his ONCE SO
well and with such utter abandon
ment of tentatiou or proud feeling,
that to go back on him now would lie
a deadener to the Republican party.
When the precedent was established
last year ofgiying colored men a rec
ognitioa, and Mr.. T. P McCabe was
nominated for Auditor, hundreds Of
people predicted that he would be
failure, but in this they have been
terribly disappointed. In the face Of
every obstacle and misgiving, he took
hold like man, has conducted him
self as man ofability, and is deserv-
ing to be renominated. !"

How the inventor Plaques his Poor
Wife.

a facetious chap. connected with one
of our daily newspapers gives the fol
lowing amusing atHlesque on the trials
OF an inventors wife:
1T is all very well to talk about work
inc for the. heathen'' said one, as the
ladies put up their sewing, ''hut I'd like
TO have some one tell me what [ am TO
do with my husband. ''What is the
matter with himP'' asked sympathetic
old ladv, ssWilliam is d good man, :"
continued the first, waving her glasses
in an argumentaLive way, ''but William
will invent. He goes round inyenung
from morning till night, and 1 have
no peace or rest. didn't object when
he invented fire escape, but 1 did re-
monstrate when he wanted me to crawl
out Of the window one night last winter
to see how it worked. Then he origin
ated a lock for the door that wouldn't
open from midnight till morning, SO as
to keep burglars out. The first time he
tried it he caught his coat-tail in it, and
I had TO walk around him all night with
a pan of hot Goals to keep him from
freezing" Why didn't he take his coat
off? 81 wanted him to, but he stood
around till the thing opened itself, try
ing to invent some way # christening
it That's Williams trouble. He will
invent. A while ago be got up cabi-
net bedstead that would shut and open
without handling. 1t went by clock
work. William got into it, and up it
went. Bless your heart he staid there
from Saturday afternoon till Sunday
night, when it flew open and disclosed
William with plans and specifications of
q patent washbowl that would tip over
just when it got so full. The result was
that lost all my rings and a breastpin
down the waste pipe. Then he got up
a crutch for man that could also be
used as an opera glass. Whenever the
man leaned on it up it went, and when
he put it to his eye to find William, it
flew out into a crUtch and almost broke
the top of his head off. Once he invent
ed rope ladder to be worn as a guard
chain and heightened out with a spring
He put it round his neck, but the spring
got loose and turned it into a ladder
and almost choked him to death. Then
he invented a patent boot heel to crack
nuts with, but he mashed his thumb with
it and gave it up. Why, he has wash
tub full OF inventions. One ofthem is
prayerbook that always opens at the
right place. We tried it one morning
at church, but the wheels and springs
made so much noise that the sexton took
William by the collar and told him to
leave his fire engines at home when he
came to worship. The other day saw
him going up the street with u model OF
grain elevator sticking out of his hip
pocket, and he is fixing up an improved
shot tower in our bedroom Il Scieniif

House..

WAsHINGroN, Dec. 3.-At12 o'clock
Clerk MCPHERSON raped the House to
order, and proceeded 20 call the roll, of
Represen batiVes When the state of
Mississippi had been reached, the clerk
said he wished to make statement as
to his failure to put upon the roll the
name of any Representative-elect in the
second district. The reason was that
no paper which could be considered d
certificate OF election, in the sense of law,
had been presented to him.
Mr.. Chalmers had filed four exhibits
to support his claim, but neither individ-
ually or collectively did the exhibits af-
ford the Clerk sufficient authority for
the enrolment of Chalmers. If the
Governor of Mississippi had issued a
certificate of election TO any one, it had
not been presented to the Clerk. With
regard 10 the First District of North
Carolina, the Clerk had not received
the certificate of the successor of
Poole, deceased.
The roll call disclosed SIG members.
Nominations for Speaker being ia or
der, MIR. Geddes said: l nominate for
Speaker of this house of the 4Sth Con
gress, Mr., Carlisle, of Kentucky, man
acknowledged to have pre- eminent quail
ifcations for the place,
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, presented the
name of Gen. Keifer. of Ohio, and Mr.,
Lyman the name of Mr.. Robinson of
Massachusetts.
Morrison, Tucker, Hood aud Calkins
were appointed tellers, and the Clerk
proceeded to call the roll with the result
as follows; Carlisle, I0I; keier, 1I2 /:
Robinson, 2; cast by James and Lyman,
y. S. Wise. of Virginia by York; Wads-
worth of New York. /, by Oehiltree
Lacey, of Michigan, 1, by White of Ken
lucky.
The Clerk declared Carlisle elected,
and Randall and Keifer escorted the
gentleman to the chair. His entrance
into the chamber was the signal for loud
applause. The oath of Office was adj
administered.

ssfftOxt
lsnn Frnnclsco Chronicle. |


Lieutenant Schwatka, Assistant-Surgeon
Wilson, and c. A. Holman, OF the Engineer
CORPS of the army, with three priyates,
have been sent 10y the War Department on
an exploring expedition along the Chilcat
and Yukon rivers. in Alaska. Their outfit
Is fora six months tour, and their orders
authorize Schwatka to employ Indian
guides and carriers. They are to ascend
the Chicat from its mouth TO ITS source,
and from thence cross the dividing
range to the presumed head OF The
Yukon, which they are instructed 70
descend TO its mouth. We think it an
oversight OF the department that a
geologist and mineralogist was not also
detailed for this exploration OF what Is a.
much terra incogniid a. the sources OF the
Congo were before DR.. LiyingStone's time.
A general belief, founded upon Indian re-
ports and white rumors, prevails on this
coast that there Is rich and extensive au-
rifcros region on the Yukon river; and
these rumors and reports are fortified by
the iact that on the Asiatic side OF the straits
placer quartz gold mines have been sue
ceSsiully worked for over a century upon
n continuation OF the line OF the Yu-
