The Calcasieu Lumber Company
has procured railroad rates SO low
from here to New Orleans, as to en-
able them to ship lumber to England.
They are now filing an order, which
is being shipped this week, of $50
car loads. We examined some of the
lumber and it was fine, indeed.

At the Grant Inauguration Rail-.

Gen. Grant ut first positively declined
to attend the ball gotten up in honor OF
his Inauguration, but was persuaded 10
reconsider his determination. The use OF
the new north wing of the treasury was
secured, and was well adapted for the
festivities, although much trouble re-
suited from the employment Of the col
ored messengers as attendants in the
cloak rooms. They received wrapping
and rave out checks with alacrity. But
when people came later in the evening
and presented those checks, it soon be-
came evident that many Of the meSscn-
gers could not read figures, and the cor
responding wrappings were not forth
coming.
After fretting awhile, some of the in
diGnant guests Insisted on personally
hunting up their property in the room,
and the contents Of the pigeon holes were
soon piled in heaps on the floor. When
the managers were Informed of this mix
ing up of coats, shawls, overShoes and
hats into n miscellaneous medley, they
sent n of their number to endeayor 10
straighten ont matters. But as he was
making his way up the crowded staircase,
he heard just above him the shriu voice
Of Mr.. Greeley inquiring for lone Of the
Id fools who have undertaken to man
age this affair."" with so much earnest
ness that the alarmed manager quietly
pulled off his gorgeous badge, turned
about and left the building, glad to flee
f;cm the wrath to come. l do not sup
pose that there was ever q more angry,
more disgustcd, or more profane crowd in
Washington than those who had to trudge
to their hotels or their homes that cold
night without their wrappings.-Ben
Perley POore.

Curious Cases of Suicide.

1t is said that a person so disposed can
be killed by the shock of good news as
surely as by evil tidings. A very curious
case occurred recently Of a journeyman
in the employment of n large firm in Lon
don being Unexpectedly made manager
and thereupon committing suicide. The
disturbing cause seems to have been the
fear of responsibility. and a sense of in
competency to fulfill the duties Of q new
and important office.
A catastrophe of even a more painful
kind took place in another great house in
the same city some years ago. One OF the
clerks after many years faithful service,
was offered a partnership, which he de-
clined upon the ground Of not possessing
the minimum sum requisite for invest
ment in the concern. THAT shall be no
obstacle" said the principal, for ] will
advance it to you myself" and so the
matter was arranged. But on the very
first day of the now partner taking posses
sion of his desk, be blew his brains out ut
it, leaving q feH written words behind
him to say why. He had been embezzling
money fIom the firm for many years,
though in such small sums that the
whole amount was trining. and there was
no chance of the ~defalcations being diScov-
cred. Remorse and the sense Of benefits
undeserved had been, however, too much
for his tcnder conscience.-Thc Argo-
mint = .

Scotland ard the Scots.

These Scots are n great people. You
find them all over the world, and there
arc wealthy and influential Scotchmen
everywhere. They have left their imprint
on every generation and every country.
In literature we have Walter Scott and
Robert Burns; in history, David Hume;
in science, James Watt, who came from
Il Glasgow; in craftsmanship, Robert
Peel; and in money making, A. 7. Stew
art and n score Of others whose reputa-
ton is worldwide. One OF our United
States senators, Mr.. Beck, is a Scotch
man; the inventor Of the telephone, Pro
fessor Bell, is q Scotchman, and everyone
knows Of Andrew Carnegie, the Pitts
burg millionaire. 1t is so with every Eng
disappearing cOuntry-America, Eng
land, Canada, and Australia; and Wheel
you consider that Scotland has q popu-
lation no larger than that of Ohio, you
tee what a character that population
must have TO create such an impress.
Scotland is about thrcc-fourths the size
Of Ohio in area, but it has ONLY about
one-eighth as much ~cultivatable terri
tory. Il has nothing like aS good soil rs
ireland, and all that it gets it must
sweat for. Still its valuation OF property
is twice that of Ireland, and it shows rs
many signs of prosperity as Ireland has
evidence of extreme poverty.
These Scotchmcn are II healthy big set
Of men, and It is said that the hat stores
OF Glasgow order a size Of hats larger
than those Of other cities. Even the
workmen and common people have great
heads, and l see many men in fuStian
who might pass for United States sena-
tors II they wore broadcloth.-Frank G.

Why Good Tea Is Scarce.

One Of the reasons why a good cup Of tea
is so scarce in this cOuntry-or elsewhere
out Of Ch;na-iS exploited by Professor
Redler, OF the Presidency college, Cal
cutta, who furnishes to the Journal of the
Asiatic Society of Bengal a memorandum
OH certain experiments which he has
made on the corrosion Of the lead Innings
Of Indian tea-chcstS. His conclusions are
that tea properly manufactured in the or
binary way has no power to corrode lead,
but If unseasoned and damp wood is used
for the boxes, corroSiOn Of the lead is al
most certain, some varicties'of wood act
ing more violently than others. Even
with seasoned wood, If it becomes satu-
rated with water, and be then placed in
favorable circumstances Of heat and
moisture, corrosiOn takes place.
The active agent, he thinks, does not
exist ready formed in unseasoned wood,
but is produced by a secondary action
from the constituents Of the wood. The
corroSion is not due usually to contact
action between the lead and the wood,
but q volatile substance is gradually pro-
duced from the ~unseasoned wood. The
corroding agent is usually acetic acid in
| the presence of moist air and carbouic
acid, but other acids of the same series
are sometimes produced and also act on
the lead, and in the casc Of butyric and
valerie acids the incrust5tion is Of a
grcenish yellow, while that from acetiC
acid is whitish or yellowth. The lead
being corrotcd by these &C, is, which are
produced by the decomposition Of sub
stances known 10 Ic present in the woods,
The tea takes up The disagreeable odor Of
the latter after they have undergone the
change in which acetic, butyric, and the
other ACIDS ore formed, and will thus be.
come detcrIOrated. Chicago News.

Origin OF n Famous Phrase.

Williamsburg, May 6, 1852, II p. m.
"Mrs. G. B. Mcclellan: The battle Of
