A Western Governor.
lie DIDN'T UNDERSTAND STYLE.

One Of the most popular Governors
of Illinois was John Reynolds. Leav-
ing Tennessee at an early age, he set.
tied in Illinois when it was Territory,
and by his courage and skill as an In
dian fighter won the title of "Old
Ranger
He had received but limited educa-
ton, but his natural abilities, generous
impulses and honest dealings gave him
such popularity that the people made
him Judge, member Of Congress
and Governor OF the State. But in
eve,y nation he was always "Jack Rey-
nolhs.'
While he was member of Congress,
Mr.. Darby, of st. Louis, who tells the
anecdote, called upon him at the Capt.
tol.
"Well Governor said Darby, show
do you like life in Washington us com
pared with life at your home in Belle
vile p
"Mr Darby, it don't suit me, sitting
around here on these fine, silk cushion.
ed chairs ] don't feel at home as | do
at Belleville, sitting on the logs and
fence rails with the boys and whiting
sticks"
When the State of Illinois determin-
ed to build railroads, it sent Governor
Reynolds as a commissioner to Europe
to negotiate its bonds The British
Minister at Washington gave him let
ters of Introduction to several noble
men in London. Mr.. Darby tells, with.
out vouching the truth, the following
story of the Governors first introduce
tion to the English aristocracy, illus
trating the ignorance and the lack of
polish which used to be regarded as
evidence of American superiority.
AS soon as he arrived in London he
called on nobleman, who happened
not to be at home, and left his card
and letter of introduction. In the course
of few hours note came from the
nobleman, expressing regret at not
meeting Governor Reynolds, and in
viting him to dine the next day. The
note also states that the nobleman's
carriage would be at the Governors
residence few minutes before the ap-
pointed hour When the carriage was
announced the Governor came down to
find splendid equipage, with coach
men and footmen dressed in livery.
"How are you. gentlemen How are
you Which of you is the Duke!"
asked the Western Governor.
"His Grace is at home we are his
servants. answered one of the servants,
surprised at the salutation.
"Well,' said his Excelency, "get in,
get into the carriage
"No, sir, if you please-the carriage
is for Your Excellency-we ride out
side
"What !! only one man inside and
three of you outside in the rain! ex-
claimed the "Old Ranger as,onished
at what he regarded as the selfishness
of aristocratic customs, so different
from the free and easy manners of
the Western frontier Youths Conn

Gov. Hoyt at Hazleton.

Ex Governor lloyts speech at the
great occasion of the unveiling of the
Soldiers Monument at lIazleton has
caused more discussion than any speech
delivered in this region for years. He
boldly antagonized Senator Sherman =
idea of any renewal of sectional strife
and discussed the issue elopuently and
fearlessly lie declared that the cause
for which the soldiers had fought was
won; that the entire country now ac-
oepted their victory and that the only
questions remaining were matters for
the local governments. Mr.. Thomas
of Catasauqua, who is strong RepuD-
lican and large investor in Alabama,
was present and heartily approved
Hoyts speech, as did most of the au-
dience of all parties. Mr.. Thomas said
that Senator Sherman's speeches will
do more to hinder prosperity in the
South for Northern capital than any or
all other present causes. Ex-Governor
Cur in's speech heartily inaorsed Hoyts
sentiments and the thousands of heroes

An Asphalt Lake.

A correspondent says he never looks
at an asphalt pavement or rolls along
over its smooth surface in carriage
without thinking of the curious island
and the still more singular place from
which the material is procured. In
about the center of the island of Trini-
dad, dot in the Caribbean sea, Just
off the coast of Venezuela, there is an
asphalt lake. 1t is said to cover about
one hundred acres, and is apparently
inexhaustible. 1t is a black sandy
substance and is believed to be crude
rotten petroleum. A singular feature
of the substance is that, although about
$4,000 tons are taken out of this lake
annually, it constantly fills up SO that
there is no lessening of the supply.
This singular lake of paving material
is owned by the Venezuelan govern
ment, but leased by company in
Washington. They bsye a fleet of
schooners running to Trinidad, and,
having monopoly OF the business,
they import vast quantities of the mate
rial.

In the State Department changes
have been made in nearly all of the
important foreign missions and Con
sulships. Changes have been agreed
upon in nearly one hundred more
cases. and by the close of the year
but few of the old appointees will re-
main in the Consular service. In the
War and Navy Departments the pat.
ronpge is small and but few changes
have been made. In the Department
of Justice fully one-half Of the Marsh
ais and District Attorneys have been
changed. The showing in the Treas
ury Department is exceptionally graft
flying. There are two Assistant Secre-
taries, and one is newly appointed.
There are eight chief clerks, and two
are of recent appointment. Two
Comptrollers are new appointees, and
of thirteen other heads of bureaus sew
en- art newly appointed. Out Of
seyenty-seyen chiefs of divisions thir-
teen are newly appointed. Of one
hundred ard fifteen Collectors of Gus
toms thirty-six are new men. Then
come in order three Naval Officers, ten
Surveyors of Customs, five Inspectors
of Steam Vessels and seventy-tive
Collectors of Internal Revenue, each
one of whom has at least sixty places
under him. Laborers to the number
of one hundred and fifty have been
appointed. ..
In the Post Office Department 525
Presidential Postmasters and 400
fourth-class Postmasters have been
appointed. Eight hundred clerks out
of 1890 in the railway mail service
are new men, and so are fully one-half
of the chiefs of bureaus. In the Inter-
ior Department consultations are in
progress for the good of the service.
But many changes have been made in
the Patent Office. There are twenty
eight divisions, and twenty-six of these
divisions require trained men of scien-
lific research at their head. The chiefs
Of the other two divisions are new men
Besides these there have been appoint
ed in this office one clerk, five model
attendants, four skilled laborers and
twenty.seven unskilled laborers. In
the Pension Bureau, of the 305 special
examiners, one.fourth have been ap.
pointed since March 4, and of the q
900 medical examiners 1900 are Demo
Gratis. A number of other changes
hava been made in this bureau. In
the Office of Indian Affairs, of the sixty
Indian agents, seventeen are newly APP
pointed, and these have in turn filled
several hundred places under them
with new men. Changes in the Land
Office have been important and others
are to follow.

profossor Riott. tho Italian cham;

Professor Riatt, the Italian chemist
has brough, forward a new kind of
thermo chemical battery, in which the
production of he9current results from
the difference of temperature OF two
layers of strata lying at different levels
in a vessel filled with liquid. This cell
consists of wooden box or vessel, ira
versed by two copper pipes, placed
tho one over the other. and separated
by distance cquai TO about half the
height of the vessel, thu latter being
filled with a solution of the sulphate
of copper A current of steam passes
through the upper tube, and current
of cold water in the lower, with the
effect that copper is deposited on the
latter, while the substance of the form
er is reduced. BY changing, from
time to time, the position of the tubes,
equilibrium is established. The bat,
tory is said to work well and not to
polarize,
