The New York Democrats-A Har-
mOniOus Convention Assured
rhe rrice Paid FOR a RnIIrond
Test OF straw Lumber.

Some straw lumber, accounts Of
appear ed in the technical press, was
recently subjected to tests in Chicago,
and, judging from the particulars now
at hand, it would seem that the mate
rial, while possessing some very good
qualities still has not met all expecta-
tions. IN this particular case, however,
the unfavorable results of the expert
ments have, in q measure, been attrib-
uted to the fact that the material was
not equal to some samples which have
thus lar been placed upon the market
When used rs ceiling the material was
found to serve very well, but as floor
the results were apparently not at
all encouraging. As described by one
of our Western exchanges, it appears
that in this case the lumber was laid as
an experiment over another floor, the
slabs being first treated to a peculiar
solution. There was considerable trouble
and expense attendant upon laying it,
the slabs requiring to be placed and
jointed very carefully. The material
was found to be neither durable enough
for this purpose nor devoid oi warping
tendencies. twas also readily attacked
by heat and moisture, ihe results being
occasional uneven patches of surface,
blisters, etc., while some OF the pieces
warped to such an extent as to draw out
the nails.
However. the possibilities respecting
future results are still very great, and
in course of time, when experience shall
have demonstrated what can de done in
that direction, it will not be strange if
the process of making straw lumber, or
some similar material, will have re-
solved itself into an unquestionable sue
cess. Probably the safest way of using
the material now is to apply it to num-
erous smaller uses which will not re-
uuire great strength or endurance.
There are, in fact, great variety of
methods in which it can be successfully
employed. and the mere fact of few
discouragements at the beginning does
not do away with the probability that
these difficulties may ultimately be con-
uuered. s. f. Merchant.

THERE has been something very un-
fortunate to the previous manipulations
of the Northern Pacific Railway in the
control of that road. Jay Cook and his
co-adjutors were ground as between the
upper and the neither milestone in the
panic OF 1873. and were Obliged to
abandon their enterprise to new hands.
it finally gravitatng into those of Will
ard. Now, at the very moment of the
driving of the golden spike, Willard finds
himself subjected to n financial pressure
which will sorely test his stability.
Should he survive the present ordeal.
he will rejoice in prestige which is not
likely to know diminution in the future.
The process to which he is now being
subjected at the hands of his Brother
Railway Kings is equivalent TO the
"hazing" of our colleges.

VERY few Californians realize that al.
ready thus early in the year frosts have
occurred in the Mississippi valley which
have seriously curtailed the yield of the
corn crop. In fact, these frosts occur
red fully two weeks ago, and the dam
ago arising from them to this important
national staple is reported at hundreds
of millions of dollars. There are two
great evils that threaten the corn farm
or of the East with disaster. The first
is from lack of rain ut critical period
of the Summer. If, when the corn is in
tassel, rain should be withheld for two
weeks at stretch by the Weather
Clerk, it would be fatal to the crop.
The second peril is from early frosts, as
tn the present case.

The Bells of the Mission.

Some days ago one of the bells OF the
Santa Barbara Mission Church was
brought to this city to be recast. A
great deal OF the romance of
early California is centered in
those old Mission bells. The Span.
ish maidens of Los Angeles tell
story of the San Gabriel Mission, which
is fair type of those venerable
legends. When the Franciscan fathers
sailed from Spain, bringing with them
the cross to California, they were ac.
companied by few soldiers. Among
them was one, young, nobly born and
full OF ardent zeal, Don Rafael, who
proposed to remain until the church was
planted firmly in the wilderness. A
spanish maiden awaited his return, but
one day a treacherous arrow struck the
soldier low, and he was laid in conse.
Grated ground, close to the waters of the
San Gabriel Mission. When the news Of
the young soldiers death was carried
back to his betrothed, she mourned long
and bitterly. When tho day came to
cast chime of bells for the young Mis-
sion, she begged her friends to lead her
to the spot, and took with her a gold
cross, and the ring of her betrothal
which Don Rafael had given her. She
stood by waiting the moment when the
molten mass should fill the moulds, and
the bells be born. And then, according
to the legend, she said: "Oh, bells,
when ye softly ring the Angelus for the
first time above his distant grave his |
dust shall hear it, and his heart know,
even the cold sod above where he sleeps, |
that / was faithful to the end" Then |
she dropped the golden cross and |
ring into the furnace, and she
passed away, amid the sobs OF
men and women. A
pious fury seized all present, and |
they flung their gold and silver orna.
ments into the matrix of the mission |
bells. This it is, the Spanish girls say,
that makes their voices so sweet, for
they are sanotitied by love and faith.
Don Rafael's sweetheart fingered many
weary months and was only seen at
,hurch One evening, so the story goes,
rs she sat and gazed upon the setting
un, thinking that they too shone above
lis grave, she started and her wan iace
vas wreathed with smiles as she mur.
nured, 1.-THE bellsl 1t is the Angelus,
Rafael hears" And then she died.
When another letter came to Spain from
he Mission it told how on the day the
died the bells were baptized,
nd for the first time pealed out the An
elus.-S. Il. Erchangs.

Paper Roofing.

A Mansfield, Ohio, company are manu-
featuring roofing material from wood
pulp board, consisting of two-thirds
spruce and one-third Poplar. 1t is then
prepared under patents owned exclusive
ly by the company, in such manner as to
give the greatest durability, and adapt
it generally for roofing purposes. 1t is
claimed to be the best roofing in the
world, all things considered. 1t is not
affected by heat or cold, as metallic
roofs are, nor can it corrode. 1t is
much lighter than slate, weighing
only about so pounds to the square
and can be walked upon without injury.
1t is practically freproof, though not
absolutely non.combustible. 1t can be
used on any kind of roof having not
less than / ] inch fall to the foot. 1t is
adapted to locations where
smoke and sulphurous gases abound,
which generally destroy metallic roofs in
. short time. 1t is flexible, and can be
ised for valleys, fashings, ornamental
utwork in gables, panels, bay windows,
and irregular shaped roofs. 1t
an also be used with perfect success for
heathing warehouses and grain ele-
ators.
