George Sheridan's Joke.

Gen. George H. Sheridan, "of Louisi- ana," lives now at the Union Square hotel and is coming to be known as q Union Square notability He has had a checkered political career, but he has had a good living through it all, evi- dently, for he has grown stouter and stouter with each succeeding year, until his short figure now carries upward of 250 pounds of flesh. As stump speaker he has been and still is in great demand. His talks are a mixture of witty stories and eloquence which is taking with the people. A politician of Ohio related to me yesterday an incident of one of Sheridan's engagements which had ludicrous ending. Sheridan was posted for a speech in manufacturing town in northern Ohio It was an off year, and the Democrats were expecting to carry the county through Republican in- difference and the labor vote. They didn't want Sheridan to make speech for fear he would rouse up all the Repub- hcans, but how to keep him away was a problem. They hit upon a Ian at last, and when Sheridan arrived he was surprised to meet cordial re option from several Democratic acquain. .auces who pressed him with invitations to % out and smile" He finally went out with them and was conducted to saloon where he found q number of other choice spirits, but all Democrats. They began to ply him with invitations to drink, and it soon popped into his head that they had scheme to make him drunk and let the meeting be q failure because of his non-attendance. When he became satisfied that this was their game he went in for as much fun as anyone. It was ? o'clock when they went into the saloon.- At half-past z le walked out with a slightly unsteady step, but with perfect control of h.. motions, while every other man of the crowd was under the table. He went to the hall where he was to speak and d(. livered one of the finest efforts of l. ; life, not forgetting to tell the story ct how the enemy had tried to trip him ulj, The county rang with his speech for : week, and was carried for the Republ cans.-N. !.

Th wood is heavier, and its fibers have b, come interlaced it will sustain nor, pressure and strain than straight woo In the same directions, either across c with grain. He said A piece of tim Der that has been steamed, whether Is bent or not, has it's stiffness increac cd. It Is more brittle than it was b.; fore, and for some uses it will do [, well, and yet there is quality that the steaming process and the kiln dryiuo process affect very much the same; they both cook the gum in the timber ant make it brittle and stiff. There is a grade or class of hickory that is benef; cd by being steamed or kiln dried f, ! use as spokes or whi1lletrees. There is kind of hickory that never becomes stiff by natural process of drying, and one of the desirable qualities of spoke, fim, or whiffletree is stiffness as well as strength: you take that hickory-and i, Is the very best we have--and steam it, and it is better fitted for these purpose ! than it was before. 1t Is difficult to teuy apart piece of bent wood the fibeis are interwoven, one with the other. w do not perceive the change on the or,. side, but when we come to split t., stick open we find that it's character i, entirely changed.
