An INFLUENTIAL DELEGATE

The most enthusiastic admirers ofJudge
Carey must have fallen short ofa true es-
innate Of the ponderous influence of the
delegate from Wyoming. were it not as
serted by the Sun that he secured an
amendment which l~egalizes the existing
legislation for the construction of public
buildings" The reference is to the bill
restricting the powers Of territorial legis-
%latures, which bill affects all territories
alike. Others beside Wyoming had their
delegates on the floor, but it was reserved
to Judge Carey to secure" a provision
which naturally should belong to all leg
islation in any manner open to a retroac-
tive construction. The number of the
Congressional Record which chronicles
this achievement will probably be widely
circulated among his friends. The diff
Guilty of the situation and the correspond
ing merit Of overcoming it, appears from
a Washington letter to the Sun of the
18th inst, in which the correspondent
makes this startling announcement:
That the remedy must be earnestly
sought by a few able, energetic. deter
mined men in the house, pitted against a
vast majority, is a fact which your dele
gate has long since recognized, and to the
accomplishment of which he has as deter
minedly set himself to work"
This task of accomplishing a recognized
fact has probably been performed in secur-
| ing that amendment.
The judges e%ulogist further seeks his
merits 10 disclose by the following state
ment:
"He has already been recognized twice
by the speaker during this session for the
passage of bills, and is sanguine of such
favor being shown him a third time before
the adjournment of congress when the bill
is brought up for an additional land office
in Northern Wyoming"
As this correspondent is evidently sin
cere; there is no reason to believe that he
exaggerates the number of recognitions or
to question the pleasing statement that
u delegate has actually been recognized
twice in a period of little more than six
months.

The late John Kelly introduced some
new ideas into journalism when he had
control of The New York Star. His
home was some distance from the city,
and there he had 4 complete little print
ing office. including a small job press.
Everything he wrote was set up in this
establishment, and the proofs corrected
and revised until they were entirely free
from error. Then "a final impression
was struck off, and this was the shape
in which his copy" arrived at The Star
Office. 1t absolutely shut the door on
any excuse for errors.
In addition to this his private print
ing Office was used for typographical ex-
periments, the result of which appeared
from time 10 time in the columns of The
Star. Any change in the style, as the
heads, was always first thoroughly tested
in this way. Mr.. Kelly was very seldom
seen about the office. l worked there
for a year and did not even know him
by sight. He knew very few of The
Star people personally, but used to mark
articles he liked in the paper and in

compliments to the writers OF them

Many people fall ill of disease simply
through fear of it. The imagination has
a powerful influence on the human body.
One can very easily imagine himself to
be catching cold at the sight of an open
window, when if he had not known the
window was open, or was not afraid OF
its effects, he would escape the cold.
Doctors understand this secret, but they
do not impart it to their patients. Most
invalids, real or supposed, would be
angry if a physician would say to them,
Nothing ails you, you only think 3d."
They prefer to think themselves sick,
and in time they really become so, for
nature, though she struggles hard, a
not stand everything. Too many drugs
will finally destroy her healing power.
These people who love to have a box Of
white pills in bottles, and a little book,
all kept in some handy place, so that
when a friend who has eaten too much
dinner says. "Oh, 1 am fearfully nerv-
ous!' they may run for the little book,
look for nervousness" and administer
so many pills of bryonia. When they
have a headache, instead of dieting or
eating more moderately, they take
several drops of some nice poison. They
trust nothing to nature, but call in a
doctor for every little ailment, when
fresh air, exercise, and strict temperance
in eating and drinking is all they need.

A large number of quails, prairie chick
ems and wild turkeys are sent from st.
Louis to England every season. Fine
wild turkeys, Weighing n dozen pounds
and upwards, with good show OF plum
age, are in great demand just before
Christmas, and so long as the birds are
plump and stylish they dom kick at the
price. Over 600 were sent last winter,
some to Leadenhall market, London, and
others TO Liverpool. Quails are also very
freely sent to the same consignees, nearly
1900 dozen going last season. The num-
Der OF prairie chickens sen is less, about
1900 pairs going annually. New York
sends more of these, and calls them
grouse. We pack the birds in ice and send
them by express to New York, whence
they cross the Atlantic by the Cunard
line. In return a very few Of the finest
English pheasants come to st. Louis.
They are chiefly brought over on the

prices, as much as 50 being paid for a sim

There was a star, old legends say, that

From out OF eastern skies on one dark

"While l was on the Union Pacihc,n said
the conductor, ~ made up my mind to
break up card playing. because 1t led to so
many disputes. The boys used to get the
best OF me, however, and they always had
a substitute for Hoyle's game of chance.
The best l ever saw was one time when
we were coming east from Ogden. There
were four in a party, and one Of them had
a common cigar box with a hole cut In the
center OF the top. Within was a cock
roach. Each Of the party placed a piece
OF lump sugar on the corner Of the box
nearest to him as it was placed in the
middle of the quartet. The ante was a
dollar, and the game was to see which
lump OF sugar the roach would tackle
first when he came up through the hole.
His highness made his appearance soon
after the chunks of sweetness were placed
in position. The fun then began. The
roach would take a survey of the situa-
tlon and then dart for one corner.
Just as the lucky owner would think
his sugar was to be seized and the stakes
won, the roach would urn suddenly
around and go for another lump. Thus
the excitement would be continually on
the rise, and the outside bets would COM
mence. Sometimes it would be twenty
minutes before the roach would light on a
lump, and only those who nave seen this
game can imagine the interest created.
Why, poker is nowhere in comparison,
and the night 1 speak of it caused more
COMPOUNDED trouble on my car than fifty
games OF cards. The ladies grew wild
over the game. 1 must confess l got inter
ested myself, n came near missing some
local fares. The roach game kept up all
the way to Cheyenne, and over 500 he'd
changed hands among the players, to say
nothing OF outside winnings. l was after
ward told that the man who had the box
had just come out $1,000 ahead on the
game in Frisco, and that there 1t was all

THE NAVY.


1t seems probable that congress will,
before the close of the session, do some
thing to place the navy upon an effective
basis, though it is unlikely that enough
will be done to give to that branch of the
service the rank which it should hold, or a
place worthy of its historic fame. Mig.
gardlIness, masking as economy, and mar
row views prevent such action as the ext
gency of the case demands, but public
opinion is growing more enlightened and
the increase and reorganization on a mod
ern basis Of the United States navy is
merely a question of time. The advisory
board, with the approval of the secretary,
has designed a new classification which
will be adopted, and under which the navy
will consist Of four classes. armored war
ships with hulls of steel and heavy arma-
mont of turret guns, unarmored cruis,r rs
torpedo vessels. and dispatch boats. The
country possesses the men, the material,
the professional skill and the scientific
knowledge requisite to form a great navy,
equal to any in the world, and the money
expended for such a purpose would be
well laid out.
