Among other parliamentary tom-fooleries
imported and naturalized by the FIRST con-
gressmen, was the ''mace" of the British
House Of Commons. As the House OF Lords
has none, the Senate has mover tarmed its
sergeant-at.arms with one, but the House of
Commons has, aud 80 it was provided in
1883 that the sergeant alarms Of the House
OF Representatives should be provided with
"a proper symbol of Office" The British
symbol is huge mace, or war-club, sur.
mounted by large crown, which the ser
geant-at-arms carries on his shoulder as he
marches before Mr. Speaker, in the morning
procession to prayers. Our House adopted
as symbol (calling II q mace, which 1t is
not the Roman fasces, made of ebony rods
tipped with silver spears, and bound with sill
yer bands. From the centre a silver rod
supports q silver globe, on which is perohed
large silver eagle with outstretched wings.
The original mace of this pattern was stolen
or burned when the British set FIRE to the
capitol in 1914. A temporary pine substitute
was made aud used until 1841, when tie
present one was made after the original pat
tern. 1t is keptin tho Office Of the sergeant
alarms, who brings it into the House and
plants it on a pedestal when the speaker
takes his chair, removing It when the House
goes into committee of the whole or ad.
journs
Without the sergeant. alarms carries this
mace be cannot lay his hands on any repre-.
sentative who may be acting improperly on
the floor of the House, although ordered by
the speaker to arrest him. l remember to
have witnessed several free fights on the
floor which the sergeant-at-arms tried in vain
to stop, but 1t was as much as he could do to
manage his mace, 80 the combat proceeded
until the respective friends of the parties
separated them. During a recent excited de-
bate the speaker ordered Mr. White of Ken
lucky to resume his seat, and when that gen.
tleman kept standing and talking, the ser
geant-at-aTms was directed TO see that the or
der Of the chair was obeyed. Ikey Hill, the
deputy sergeant-st. arms, who was on duty,
rushed up to Mr. White, and, taking hold of
him, was about to foreibly seat him, when
the cry was raised, where's your mace ?"
Hill let go of Mr.. White and ran for the
mace, With which he returned, and then
White took his seat. He, however. raised
question of privilege that a citizen who did
not bear the symbol of power had laid yio-
lent hands on him. Perley Poore.

Serpo Pinto, the celebrated African trav-
eler who started for Central Africa last fall
from Mozambique, came near starving to death
not long after he began his march. He and
his comrade, Lieut.. Cardoso, were stricken
with fever in q district where famine pre-
vailed. They could buy little food, and, be.
ing too i'll to be removed, their party were
soon reduced to sore straits. The governor
of Mozambique heard OF their distress, and
sent a relief party, who remained with them
until the explorers we're able to push on

While everybody was discussing his fate
the other day / heard story OF General
Gordon which shows the peculiar religious
nature of the man who held Khartoum for
nearly a year against the Mahdi. Gordon
was dining in London one day with several
club men, one of whom, when the wine had
circulated freely and the party had reached
the stage of extreme good-fellowship and fa
miliarity, accused the General of looting
bottle of wine and in proof of his assertion
he pointed to the buging side of the warri-
or's coat. Others were quick to seize the
idea, and, without even questioning the Cen
eral, began to bet on the brand of the wine
he was supposed to have secreted. The wa
gers were freely made, and soon the referee
in half.tipsy, wholly peculiar way clspped
the Genera! on the shoulder and ordered him
TO produce the bottle. "Chinee" Gordon
rose TO his feet and, putting his hand into his
bosom, drew out Church OF England pray
er-book. "Gentlemen," he said, in a tone
of undisguised indignation, "this little book
has been my companion for years, and sin
serely trust that you all may find a comforter
and a supporter in the trials of life that will
prove as true to you as this has been to me, !"
and with these words left the room. A col
lection of apologies went to him next day.

HE STRAIGHTEsT RAILROAD IN THE WORLD
The railway from 81. Petersburg to Moscow
is probably the stragbtest line in the world
1t has been built as the crow flies. pays no at
teDtion to towns, and sets out the passengers
who are going to particular places at railway
stations surrounded by fields. On inquiry the
unfortunate wight finds that the station may
be several miles from the town, which be
must reach on foot, in wagons, or stages, &C.
cording TO accommodations. The explanation
Of this peculiarly is of considerable historic
interest and reflects much light on the arbi-
trary methods prevailing iu Russia. The on.
ly reason why this railroad ignores every
town between st. Petersburg and Moscow,
except one small place called Tver, which
happened to be near the straight line, is that
'the czar so ordered it," Here is the history
When the preliminary survey was being made,
Nicholas, learning that the officers intrusted
with the task-and the minister Of ways and
roads IN the numbet-were being Influenced
by personal rather than by technical consid-
erstions. determined to cut the Gordian knot
in true imperial style. When the minister
laid before him the map with the intention Of
explaining the intended route he took a ruler
and drew straight line from the one termi-
nus to the other, and remarked in a tone that
precluded all discussion, You will construct
the line so This used to be ridculed and
cited to show the evils Of despotic form of
government, but public opinion has under.
gone change. 1t is considered that great
advantages occur to Russia, as a whole, thro'
the shortness Of this line, and that though the
towns have suffered great deal, the con-
struction Of branch lines to such as need them
will, in the end, remedy the difficulty, while
the great benefits of being able to carry by
far the greater part Of the goods and passen.
gers that go the whole length Of the line in
shorter time will remain.
