Knife.Kandles.

"Did you ever wonder what knife handles are made off" asked'a dealer in fancy woods the other day as he hauled out a shapeless block from his store of spells from many tropical forests. "Outside of bone and tor toise-shell and pearl, so called, which every one recognizes, the majority ot knife-h ndles are made out of a close, fine-grained wood, about the name and pedigree of which 9,999 out of every 10000 persons are ignorant. It Is known to the trade as cocobol wood, and it comes in large quanti ties, millions of pounds year, from Panama. It is of special value tor knife handles, because of its clos. texture, freedom from knots and faws
 md consequent disinclination to split Many well-known kinds of wood re- 1uire vanishing and polishing and illing of crevices before they attair the beauty for whi h they are famous Of course, that sort of thing can't bt- done in the case of knife-handles, and something must be used which doesn't require fixing up. Cocobola is rarely used for cabinet-making, because, be ing a gummy wood, it doesn't glu well. The same qualities that mak, 1t of use in the manufacture of knife handles render it valuable for tht making of wind-instrumen s, like tn flute. It comes to us in chunks, not in strips and plarks like other woods. Sometimes these pieces will weigh 800 or 600 pounds, but generally much less than that. It costs 2 cents pound now, but before freights went down, and the Isthmus was opened up so thoroughly, it used to cost double that price" e."-Boston Jour nal of Commerce..

There IS tradition that no meme per of Congress from Colorado ever .ot left III the hurley-bur ey of debate in the House, and Mir. Sy mes, who >ucceeds the meteoric Judge Belfprd,
 eems determined to i've up to that tradition. When Colorado sends man to congress she wants to hear from. M. Symes did not get an op- portunity to make himself heard un .il yesterday, but the Colorado news papers which have been daily inquir- ing: "Where Is SymesY" are doubt less relieved to-day, for their distin- ,uished representative fully demon-
 trated to the house yesterday after loon that he is all there. Whea the house went into committee of the whole to consider bills on the calendar the speaker recognized MT. Siynies. The first bill on the calendar Was the one which the senate had passed providing for the purchase of the old Produce Exchange building for the use of the army. But that did not deter the son of the mines and noun tains of Colorado. He had been wait ing for an opportunity long enough, and had finally made up his mind to extemporize one for himself. Re marking in confidential and breezy way, with a significant twinkle in his eye, that this bill was just the one he most ardently desired to talk about, he launched out into vigorous speech of an hours length in defence of the silver dollar, ana acquitted himself in a manner that cannot fai to be satls- factory to the most pronounced of his constituents, however small the light which it shed upon the Produce Ex- change scheme. With Mr. Symes on the floor and Judge Belford on the outside, Colorado is evidently very thoroughly equipped for legislative work during the present congress- Washington Critic.

The Isrnkeman,s Work.

The New Haven Journal and Courier has been looking into the winter experience of railroad brake men by interviewing some of the fra ternity. Here is part of the result:
 The freight brakemen wear very heavy clothing, although it is always short, as they have to get around in a durry sometimes. I hare known the time, when I was braking on freight train, when the train was running fifteen or twenty miles an hour against slcet and snow, and call had come for down brakes At such a time I have been sitting on the top of the car so stiff and frozen as to be unable to work the brakes at all. We do not mind the cold weather so much on the freight as when there is snow on the ground and on the cars. Then it becomes very dangerous, as when the train is running twenty miles an hour the snow and sand will be hurled up between the cars enough to blind man, and with the ice-coyered cars and running as we do, from one car to another, perhaps with our lanterns blown out, it is pretty dangerous, and man has to be sure footed, and have his wits about him to brake on freight in the winter time,
 "Many of the passenger brakemen live at the way stations down the road [, such as Stratford, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, Milford and other stations, and when they finish their work at one end of the road they take an express train back, aud as it passes the station at which they live, al [ though the train may be going at the rate of from fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour, they will jump off and keep their feet, although they have to In perhaps the length of the train before they stop themselves; but still they seldom, if ever lose their feet. It is quite trick to jump and takes con siderable practice before it can be done successfully. The way to jump is always with the train and on the left hand side ot the latter, letting the right foot rest cn the step and the left foot swing from the step. Then jump so that tue left foot will strike the ground first, and the right foot i'm mediately follow it, so as to be able to run. Some of the men jump from the
 middle of the train or i'll front, but
 most of fhem go to the rear car and jump, so that if they fall they will not
 roll under the cars, The only regular
 train hand I ever heard of being in
 jured by jumping was q man named
 Davis, who lives at Portchester, and
 who was struck on the head by the car-step as he jumped and was badly 
 hurt. The best man I ever saw anC the only man who could hold his fee

Must Go.

The agitation of the Chinese ques- ton is the all absorbing topic in Cali foruia, Oregon, Washington Territory and Nevada, and several towns in these states have expelled the Chinese from their midst. A large proportion of these Celestials that have been Iriven out of California have found their way to Arizona, and not a few of them to Tombstone. This city is now ,verrun with Chinese, and Chinatown about the first sight that a stranger sees upon entering the city. These barbarians have become nuisance; they are of no benefit to the commun ity, in fact they are regular leeches, as they are sending away monthly all the loose money in the town. They do not trade with our business men as they have stores of their own in Chinatown, which are supplied from the Chinese quarters in San Fran cisco.
 We.are not a prophet TOT the son of a prophet, but we do believe that the day is not far distant when the Chinese will be employed in the mines to the exclusion of white men, if they are not speedily removed from Tombstone in fact we have informa- ton that 8 certain man from Califor- mia will shortly visit this city with that object in view.
 It the Chinese were removed from Tombstone, their places as dOmestics would soon be filled with white girls from the overerowded cities of the cast, and the money now paid the Mongolians, and which send away would be spent with our merchants, and wouli circulate generally. If the Chinese were removed from here, We would soon have steam laundry in operation that world employ in the neighborho0d of 100 boys and girls, whose wages would be spent right here among our people, and not sent off 10 China as it is now hy the China men.
 Let our citizens arise as one man and notify the Chinese that their room is better than their company in ! Tombstone and thu they must leave within tYeny or thirty days. The residents If Bisbee set their foot down at the organization of tn" camp and issued an edict that no Chinese could live there, and to this i day none have been allowed to stop there. Let us follow Bisbee's example aud in place of 300 or 400 Chinamen who are now living here and making money, fill their places with white families who are eager and willing to come here and do the work.

ParneII's Power.

MI. Parnell is undoubtedly one of the personages of time. There are not many at time, and they do not al- ways pass into the Pantheon when they die. Lord Beaconsfeld was dn- occasionally one toward the close of hi career, but he will hardly remain, like Chatam and Burke.
 Mr. Parnell, however, although an active figure in cotemporeIy politics, like all such figures, somewhat belit- tied by imperfect knowledge, has ap- parently an extraordinary Opportuni- ty. The man who brings the long and trying Irish English question to q satisfactory conclusion will be assO, ciated with a great historic event and become historical figure
 At this moment Mir. Prrnell hold, an actual power in Ireland which is perhaps essentially greater than that held by MT. Gladstone in England or by Bismark in Germany, because il rests upon the virtually undivided confidence of his countrymen. Both Gladstone and Bismark hold their own against large and organized parties. But while the Ulster Irishmen do not follow Parnell, the overwhelming drift of sympathy is with him. He ha, virtually dictated the election of al most all of the Irish members of Par lament, and they are all pledged to obey him.
 One correspondent calls him tht most powerful Irish leader since the conquest. It is certain that with lit tie of the eloquence or personal pop ular charm which have distinguished the Irish leaders since the flood, he is stronger than any, and the hope which has survived centuries of apparent hopelessness, seems about to be full filled by the cool, dry, impassive Pal nell.
 His skill has been shown by his use of his opportunities. Clearly to per ceive situation and thoroughly to com prehend your resources and the effect i've way of applying them, is the se- cret of leadership in statecraft as else where. Parnell believes that every advantage, or as he holds, every right of Ireland has been exiorted from England by annoying her. He knew the bitter conflict of parties in Eng land, and he saw that the Irish vote holds the b. lance of power i'll Parlia mcnt.
 To make the vote absolutely hi, own; to cast 1t solidly for any man ol party policy which should favor his policy in Ireland to use it with botf parties as threat or bribe: to mas ter parliamentary law so as to ob ru legislation legally; in q word, tC l. ak the success of either party de pendent upon him-this has been hi aim. and he has, apparently, accom- phshed his purpose.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Patrick Egan, presi-
dent of the Irish American National League
arrived in this city today Michael Davitt,
owing to an unforeseen delay en- route did
not reach Chicago until this evening. Egan
was asked today:
"Do you expect much trouble at the forth
coming convention?"
"Very likely. OF course there may be
some differences, but we apprehend nothing
of serious nature"
"Will not the gentlemen who constitute
the Palmer House committee be likely to
make things lively?"
mot at all We don't expect much trou-
BILE from them. These gentlemen have no
connection with the League"
Mr.. Egan stated emphatically that he
would not be a candidate for reelection as
president of the National League.
SIS this merely local trouble, or does il
extend outside Of Chicago?"
SIT is entirely confined to Chicago"
sit has been the impression that local trou-
BILE and dissensions in outside States had
their origin in different sources, and that the
split in Chicago began in the Ancient Order
of Hibernians."
81 don't think so. / believe thai the tr0u-
BILE originated from the malice and jealousy
of few men here toward Alexander Sulli-
van. That is the short and long of it."
