for less than IL minutes service as q
member of congress. aud il conferred
no additional honor upon Grant, nor
contributed to his comfort, as he had
abundant means of respectable support
without it, and because so many others
equally deserving were starving. And
yet in the light of these facts was re-
turned to the Forty ninth congress by a
trebled majority. You, sir, may speak
for class who bow and cringe and
crawl to men in place and power. but |
deny your right TO say that the people
of the Eighth Congressional District of
Wisconsin are destitute of that rugged
sense of honesty and possessed Of SO
slight sense of justice that they would
enthrone on the necks of the people an

Congressman Prices Reply.

Congressman w. L. Price was. as
stated by The HERALD, the only menu
Der of either branch of congress who
voted against the bill to pension Mrs.
Grant. His position on this question
has caused much discussion among old
soldiers in this state and the public gem
orally. aud has been variousiy com.
mented on by the press Of the country.
The Chicago Inter Ocean was pariicu-
larly harsh in its criticism of his course.
Immediately upon learning Of tie Inter
Oceans attack upon him Mr. Price
wrote that paper letter for publication,
which was refused. The Tribune, how
ever, having obtained 8 copy of the
letter, publishes it in its issue of Jan.

Dangers of Stair-ClinIbin 2.

! The physicians of this city say that
many complaints of sickness have
| their origin in hurried as ,ensions oil
| the stairs to the elevated railroad sta
tons. In the upper part of tie Ninth
avenue and Second avenue lines some
of the station platforms are sixty feet
above the street level, and the climb is
serious matter to delicate women
and corpuleut persons. One physician
SAYS that the large amount of stair.
climbing at the elevated stations and
in tall tenements has greatly increased
the list of sufferers from diseases to
| which women are liable. Saleswomen
and operatives who are much on their
feet are particularly liable to ill-effects
| from the excessive efforts of climbing
to the stations in hurry.
Another physician says he has fire.
quent occasion to warn business and
professional men, especially those
| whose vocation is sedcntary, OF the
danger of rushing upstairs at the top
of their speed when trying to catch
train. A man may thus expend an
amount of vitality SO great as to inter-
fere with his efficiency for the day, 10
say nothing of the special danger to in
dividuals who have tendency to heart
troubles. apoplexy, and other diseases.
He added:
| "Ihe other day an experiment was
made at the Forty-second street sta-
ton. A man who weighed $50 pounds,
| ascending the stairs at an ordinary
pace, raised that weight zSS inches in
81 seconds. This required an eXpendi-
| ture of force equal to about one-iifth
| of one-horse power engine. If he
had gone up in half the time he would
have put forth two-fifths of the energy
of one-horse-power. | have no doubt
that plenty of people go up that flight
in 10 seconds. The rate at which the
man climbed the stairs called for an
| expenditure of force equal to that
used in running at the rate of nearly
6 miles an hour. A man who should
run up the stairs in 10 seconds could as
easily squirt at the rate of IL miles an
hour. 1t is no wonder that delicate
women and heavy men complain, and
even strong persons puff over catch
| ing trains. In the excitement they do
not know how much they oyeitax
themselves until they sit in the car, or
later when exhaustion or more serious
results develop"
| A professional athlete said yesterday
that there is knack in climbing stairs
easily. 10 throw the body forward,
bending at the hips, more than doubles
the work. The weight of the body is
a load that the muscles Of the legs and
loins must carry. and they can carry it
easily If the center of gravity IS Kept
directly above them. Bending Tor
ward imposes on the muscles OF tao
trunk the unnecessary task OF holding
the load from pitching forward. This
is like carrying load at arm s-lengtb,
instead of on the shoulder, or on the
head, as many Europeans carry bur-
dens. Athletes lift enormous weights
by bringing the strain on the pelvic
arch and legs, keeping their backs
straight.
The gentleman gives this advice 20
stair-climbers: do not lean forward.
Do not hurry. Do not spring from
stair to stair. Step firmly. lcisurely,
and keep erect. "-New York Sua.

A Log Chute.

One of the most interesting sights 70
be seen in the Sierras is the manner in
which logs are sent down the valleys OF
river canyons from the timber heights
above. A contemporary gives the fol
lowing graphic description of one Of
these scenes: A chute is laid from the
river bank up the steep mountain to the
railroad; and while we are telling it the
monster logs are rushing, laundering,
flying, leaping down the declivity They
come with the speed of thunderbolt.
and somewhat of its roar. A track OF
fire and smoke follows them fire struck
by their friction with the chute logs.
They descend the seventeen hundred
feet of the chute in fourteen seconds. In
doing so they drop seven hundred feet
perpendicularly. They strike the deer
water with report that can be heard q
mile distant. Logs fred from cannon
could scarcely have greater velocity
than they have at the foot of the chute.
The average velocity is over one hum
dred feet in a second throughout the en-
tire distance; and at the instant they
leap from the mouth their speed must
be fully two hundred feet per second. A
sugar-pine log sometimes weighs ten
tons. What missile! How the water is
tossed in the air! Like grand plume
of diamonds and rainbows, the feathery
spray is hurled TO height of hundred
feet. 1t forms the grandest fountain
ever beheld. How the waters foam and
settle, and lash against the shore! One
log. having spent its force by its mad
plunge into the deep waters. has floated
SO as to be at right angles with the path
of the descending monsters. The mouth
of the chute is perhaps fourteen feet
above the surface of the water. A huge
log hurled from the chute clcaves the
air and alights on a floating log. You
know how bullet Chances, but can you
imagine saw-log glsncing? The end
strikes with a heavy shock, but glides
quickly past for a short distance. then
comes clash like the reverberation OF
artillery. the falling log springs verti-
cally into the air, and with curve like
a rocket falls into the water long dis
lance from the log it struck. = Sacra

identical clothes worn by Burton, who
made the part famous in New York
forty years ago. While tho clothing

Lord Wolseley has the sight of but
one eye. When he was doing duty in
the trenches before Sebastopol, a shell
exploded in a gabion full of gravel, in
moving which he and two sappers
were engaged. The sappers were
both killed outright; Wolseley got 90
severe peppering With the gravel
that he was literally stuck full ofstones
from head to foot. There was not square
inch OF his face that had not gravel
pellet embedded in it; part of his shin
bone was carried away, and his eye
sight was in so great danger that Tor
weeks he was kept in the gloom OF a
cave near Balaclava, and 80 missed be-
