The present Maine Senate is most re-
markable one, judging from the description
of its members furnished by the Augusta
correspondent of all esteemed contempora
ry. At the head, by virtue of his office, is
the President, whose tstalure is above the
average, and his features suggestive of re-
Election rather than mlrth.'' One of the
gentleman from Cumberland is credited
with being ''genial logician rather than
sgllogist." Another from this county sis
possessed of an "unuscal amount of personal
magnetism, and his congenialty is very often
sought" The member from Lincoln "with
heart as tender as child's, is ever deaf to
all plumber imprecations." Then. there Is
the gentleman from Piscataquis, the
"Percles of the State House, excelling as
lawyer, jurlst, an historian, an orator,
patriot and statesman" One of the GEN
tleman from Kennebec is "a noble speci-
men of developed manhood, aud alike nota-
BILE for sterling sound sense and spartan
integrity" But while the correspondent
finds the Sena'e individually a very nice
body, collectively it seems to be his opinion
that it is very bad lot, state of things
which he attributes to the lack "of bal
ance wheel in the shape of partisan minor
ity." What has happened on account of
the want of this balance wheel we will
suffer him to explain in his own language:
From lack of this the ragged edge of bold
partizanship has too often protruded, bring
ing blush ofshame to honest legislation.
1t Is here that the seuth-hounds, plunderers
and lobbyists have met least opposition,
Whatever schemes of rapacity and robbery
may here have been countenanced, the fault
has been much less of intentional dishonesty
than of proper investigation. Thus a bill is
drawn with consumate care and adroi,ness.
In reality it contains some fallacy, some
job, some loop hole, some device, or scat in
the meal" but this is so mystified by craft
and ingenious verbiage, that its real inter-
probation is concealed or falsified or made
ambiguous. 1t is enacted, and it's practical
application is not. discovered till weeks or
months after adjournment. The deception
or Delphic Oracle character of it is dis
covered too late. Such things are not nee
essarily to be ascribed to Incompetence or
motives of dishonesty, but are much mole
liable TO slip through where single party
has entire and unquestionable sway.
Evidently this correspondent is "genial
logician rather than a syllogist."

NEW USE FOR TELEGRAPH.
How 1t Was Successfully Utilized in the In
augural Procession.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The telegraph
has been put to many uses since its discov-
cry, but the first time it ever helped to
move parade in Washington was on the
great occasion of yesterday. 1t has
been matter Of surprise that such
a large body of men passed along
without stoppage or delay, and this was
attributed to the superior military skill
Of the Marshal, General Slocum, and his
chief aide, Colnel Ordway. 1t appears,
however, that along the route four tele-
graph stations were established with
operators and messengers to send
and receive orders, report progress
and to give prompt notice OF OBJ.
structions. BY this means the usual
delay and confusion caused by sending
mounted aides, galloping back and forth
with orders, was avoided and prompt
and comprehensive report of the condition
Of the whole line was in possession of the
Marshal at all times. The most important
part played by the telegraph service in the
Inauguration ceremonies was the trans
mission of press dispatches. The West
ern Union Company, not only trebled its
usual number of private messages from
Washington, but it sent in addition the
enormous amount of 254. 900 words of press.
This figure has only been exceeded on one
other occasion, namely, the day that Gar
field was assassinated. Then the total that
company reached was 10000 words. But
it is believed that the amount of press
matter telegraphed from here on the 4th of
March was greater even than that. In ad-
dition to the press sent by the Western
Union, tho Baltimore and Ohio handled up.
wards of $1,000 words, and the Bankers
and Merchants sent over 10000, The Pos
tai did large amount Of work, say 10000
words, and private leased wires toanews-
papers carried 10000, making altogether
over 100000 words. This is the greatest
days press-work ever known in the history
of the National Capital, and does not in
clude the Associated Press or United Press
reports.

HORSE MEDICINE.
Fatal Result offs Teamster's Brew to Cure
His Horse OF Lameness,

PITTSBURGH March 5.--This evening
Frank Kunkle, teamster, living in Grant
alley, Allegheny City, placed on stove to
boil . mixture of turpentine, tar and lin
seed oil, which he had been told would
cure horse of lameness. In the room
at the time besides Kunkle was his daugh-
ter, Annie, aged seven years; his son,
aged five years; Julia Walters, thirteen
years old, and a young man named Dipp'
The mixture had been on the stove probably
an hour, when 1t boiled over. Instantly it
ignited, and second afterward an explo-
sion occurred, which scattered the scalding
liquid and flames in all directions. Young
Dipp, with great presence of mind, grabbed
up the can with the burning mixture and
started for the door, while Kunkle ran to
rescue the children, whose clothes were
mass Of flames. One by one he
picked them up and threw them out
of the window into the yard, and
then jumping after them tore the clothes
from their bodies. Assistance arrived by
this time, and the fire having been extin.
guished. the little sufferers were carried
back to the house. Annie was burned to a
crisp and died in short time in great
agony; Julia Walters was also terribly
burned, the flesh peeling off her arms and
ing intensely. Slight hope, however, is
entertained Of her recovery. The little boy
was badly burned about the face and arms,
but will recover. Young Dipp had the
flesh burned Off his hands and arms, and
Kunkle was painfully but not seriously in
jured. The damage to the house by fire
was very slight.

can Rural Home, of Rochester, N. Y, to all
persons who send in their years subscrip-
tion before April 1st, 1885. This is an OPP
portunity to secure one Of the best farm

Rural is the brightest, cheapest and most
popular weekly published for the farmer
and his family. 1t is not paper of mush-
room growth, like many so-called farm
journals that are at present being extern
sively advertised, but has been published
regularly for fifteen years. Many of the

ways brunful of practical information and
of fresh, original miscellany of the highest
character. 1t is, in short, the model jour-

Stock Shrlnkage.

The way Wall street men suffer at a
time of shrinkage is shown by the report
in the Cisco failure. Among the assets
is batch of Louisville and Nashville
bonds whose estimated value was 1927
900, while the real value was only $685..
000 Another batch of Boston, Hoosac
tunnel and Western was estimated at
$4,000, the real value being only ST.
900. Here, too, is a lot of Pensacola
and Atlantic shares, which were put in
at $4,000, but will now only bring $3.50.
No wonder men fail when they dabble
In such trash! The Ciscos, however;
have enough to meet all claims, and
their assignee showed great hnesse in
compelling Mrs. L. II. Green to give
her check for money loaned her husband.
The most interesting feature in the
trans action is the amount of the check,
which was 1902, 900, being the largest
check ever drawn by any woman in the
financial record. How little did the
public imagine that in these hard times
there was a woman who could open the
bank vault to such an extent by the
mere touch of pen! 1t is not, however,
to be supposed that this was done will
ingly. Mrs. Green learned, to her sur
prise, that the Ciscus could hold her Sc
curities against her husbands debt, and
she could only get them by paying the
latter. How the loving couple settled
their mutual trouble afterward is not
known, but it is probable they had a
warm time of tn Y. Cor. Troy Times.

The EuuIish Press on Cleveland.

LONDON, March 4.-The daily Ne,ps says,
editorially: president Cleveland will
have the hearty sympathy of England. 1t
is our desire that there should be perpetual
peace, growing friendship, and increasing
commerce. Everything bringing us nearer
together in interest and feeling
is gain to both and to peace
and freedom throughout the world.
President Cleveland's inaugural address
is full of promise, and worthy his great
personal reputation" The Times says the
inaugural address is conceived in a worthy
spirit, but throws no light on the main
question awaiting solution. The Standard
says Cleveland's address is manly
and sensible, but extremely nom
comnittal. The Cabinet, it thinks,
will be composed Of able men,
whose names will command respect. The
Telegraph says the Inauguration process
sion in Washington to-day argued well for
the success of the Democratic regime.
America holds such an important place in
the comfy Of the nations that it is hardly
exaggeration tc say that when she is pros
porous and .happy the rest of the world
sympathizes and is benefited thereby.
