Some changes have been made in the
rulings concerning unavailable matter.
The rule has been, for long time, that
candy and cake could not be sent by mail
unless enclosed in tin or wooden box.
These articles are very troublesome in the
mail. If candy can go by, any kind of
candy can go, and candies are sent that
melt and run, and defile and glue to-
gether all the other mail matter in the
same pouch with it. Cake is worse still,
and, strange as it may seem, gives the
department more trouble than any other
kind of mail matter. 1t is always we'd
ding cake, and very rich. 1t not only
breaks up, gets scattered through the
pouch and leaves great grease spots on
all the other mail matter, but attracts
the rats, so that they eat through the
pouches and through the other mail-mat-
ter to get to it. Experience has proved,
now, that even enclosing cake and candy
in tin or wood does not remedy these
evils; and consequently late ruling de-
clares cake, candy and all sorts of con-
fectionery unmailable. This, observes
the Chicago Journal, will break the
hearts of great many brides and brides
maids, but it is indispensably necessary.

One of the blast furnaces Of the Kemble
Iron & Coal company at Riddlesburg,
Penn, was banked up in November, 1884.
After being out of blast nearly sixteen
months, it was recently opened for the
uioJ tlhlt, iht lOuuu Sllll DuTu-

admission of the blast soon became hot
enough to melt cinder. The furnace was

The English armor-clad ship Nile, of

Professor Winchelis comparative trials
of the GRANTEES of New England and
Minnesota have shown some surprising
differences in strength. Two inch un-
polished cubes were taken, and crushed
between wooden cushions, the average
strength of Minnesota granite was found
to be 81, ,272 pounds, or 23,21S pounds
per square inch; crushed between steel
plates, the average strength was 109, 800
pounds, or 26, 200 pounds TO the square
inch of surface. A like number of speci-
mems of New England granite gave an
average strength of SO, 7s5 pounds, or
l4,759 pounds to the square inch.
The interaction of mind and body, in
disease, is we'll set forth by Dr. Hacker,
of Leipsic, who states that tickling,
which he styles variable, intermittent
excitement of the nerves of the skin,
produces irritation of the sympathetic
nerves, with the result of an expansion
of the pupil and a contraction of the
blood vessels, and that the consequent
diminution of pressure on the brain, per-
meated with blood vessels, is SO consid-
erable as not to be without danger; that
powerful expiration operates against such
diminution of pressure, and therefore
laughter, which is simply intermittent
forced movements of expiration, is de-
cided remedy for the effects of tickling.

In the collections recently taken to
Denmark from the east coast of Green
land by Capt. Holm are several objects
that have excited the astonishment of
European geographers. They are maps
made by the natives. The maps are en-
graved with their rude cutting imple-
ments on boards that drifted ashore. They
were found among the natives who lives
along the shores of a deep ford, near the
most northern point attained by Holm.
Only ten or twelve of these 400 people
have ever visited the Danish settlements
in South Greenland, owing to a stretch
Of glacier and ice fields which have so
nearly isolated them from the world that
their existence was not known until re-
Gently. They had never seen a white
man until Holm and DR.. Knutzen came
among them. Some of these curious
maps, Capt. Holm says, represent quite
accurately the contour of the coast, with
all its many big and little indentations,
along which they live. Other maps give
the outlines of islands lying near the
coast, and the explorers say they may re-
produce the shape of the islands with
good degree of fidelity.

The JOcular Judge and the Lawyer

While Judge Walton was at work in
his chamber at Portland one day a rich
and very digniied lawyer, who may be
called Lightweight, came in. The judge
said:
Brother Lightweight, why don't you
get marriedW
because | can't afford it. How much
do you suppose it costs me to live nowl'
The Judge said he couldn't guess,
''Wcli, it costs me So, 900 a year just

A Washington letter says that a man
named Arnot, who is now employed in
the agricultural department cleaning
spittoons and brushing desks, was once
millionaire mail contractor and lived at
the capital in the highest style. He is
one of the most picturesque and striking
figures to be found in Washington. His
favorite amusement is to pose himself in
a conspicuous place, usually against some
pillar in the hotel lobby, and watch the
people as they come in and out, evidently
extremely gratifed at the attention which
his appearance attracts. He wears a
dropping white mustache, which is
curled at the ends, and has an aristo-
cratic nose upon which pair of gold
mounted glasses are perched. His black
silk hat is of antediluvian style, and
around it is wound q string of Grape
seven inches wide, which gives him some
resemblance to Judge Waxem, from away
back, about to leave Washington on
congressional funeral trip. His shirt
front is elaborately rufiled and starched.
He wears an enormous watch fob with an
old fashioned seal of the size of a half
dollar, and he steadies his statuesque
pose with the assistance of gold-headed
cane and paleozoie umbrella.

OF VIRGINIA, IN DANGER THAT HIS APPOINT
MENT AS SOLICITOR GENERAL WILL NOT BE
CONFIRMED RY THE SENATE.
1t is understood that the Senate Judiciary
Committee have decided to report unfavor-
ably on the nomination of John Goode, of
Virginia. to be Solicitor General, and that
the President has been informed of their de-
ctsion in time to withdraw the nomination
before the Senate shall take action upon it,
in case be may choose to do this.
What the charges against the gentleman
are is not certainly and Enthusiastically
known to the public. He asserts that they
are false charges, and Indignantly denies the
allegations made against him, which are
understood TO be. as generally deScribed-of
bribery and receiving money to procure an
appointment tor an office-seeker. The we'll
informed reader will remember, of course
that Representatives of the Forty Fifth Con-
gIess gave Mr.. Goode the seat as one OF Its
members, after the Goode-Platt contest.
After the Forty Fifth Congress Mr.. Goode
returned to the practice of his profession as
a lawyer, and did not again enter public life
until last May. when he was appointed to
the office of which, it seems probable, he will
be deprived by the action of the Senate OF
the United States.
He was born at Norfolk, Va, in the year
1929. The State Convention which passed
the ordinance of Secession had Mr. Goode
among its members, and he was subsequently
a representative in the Confederate Congress.
From 1868 to 1872 he was member OF the
Democratic National Committee. He was
elected q member of the Forty Fourth Con-
gress and of the Forty-Fifth, as previously
stated.
