w WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-Senator Stan
ford, of California, has written the fol-
lowing letter to a constituent, who asked
him his reasons for voting for the con-
firmation of Mr.. Lamar as justice of the
United States supreme court:
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1888.
Your letter, asking my reasons for
voting for Lamar, is received. I voted
for him because l considered him one
of the best men in the South; for he is,
in my judgment, a broad, liberal
minded man, of a great deal Of learn
ing. lie was professor of law in a uni
versity in Mississippi, and I think he is
a thoroughly converted Unionist, and
do not think it wise to reject anyone on
the ground alone that he was engaged
in the late rebellion. l think that we
want to be one people-politically and
socially. General Grant expressed the
idea when he said: "Let us have peace"
Lamar's loyalty and integrity to the
Union was passed on most conclusively
when both houses of congress provided
for the succession to the presidency and
made him an heir only few removes
from the presidency. / am reluctant
to find myself not in harmony with all
the Republican senator's, but it was
case, so far as action was concerned,
entirely for my own judgment and con.
science, and voted accordingly. Re
spectfully yours,

BROOKLYN, N. Y, May I, 1887.
Editor cfthe Arema:
DEAR S1R,-Will you explain to
your readers why it is basin or tub
of water allowed to run freely out of
hole at the center of the bottom will
always pass out in whirlpool? And
why is it that this whirl always takes
the direction opposite that of the COM
mon screw2
Also, why is it that climbing vines
always take a direction, in passing up
ward around a tree, aoiM tie su'., or
from left to right These facts of ma
ture have always been mystery to me,
and by answering the same you will
greatly oblige your humble servant, as
possibly also many other readers.
Very truly S. P. THRAsHER.
REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.
Mr.. Thrasher is entirely mistaken
in the nature of the problems he pre-
sents. A basin or tub of water for ex
ample, with hole in the center of the
bottom, has no tendency whatever tc
form into whirlpool in passing out
provided the water is still before the
hole is opened; but will run out from
all sides directly toward the center, as
can be seen if floating bits of paper
be placed on the waters surface. If,
however, the water be started into a
@hiI'l however slight before opening
the escape, it makes no difference in
which direction the whirl is produced,
this spiral movement will continue
and accelerate till all the water passes
out.
In regard 10 the direction of climb
ing vines we have made careful obser.
vation, and find that the extreme upper
points of certain vines, when young,
like the sunfower, incline to point
toward the sun, and by following the
sun during the day, gain their initial
twist in that direction Of course such
vines at the equator, with the sun as
often north as south of the vertical
line, would be apt to twist as often in
one direction as the other; while far
south of the equator, with the suns
inclination to the north, as it is always
to the south in this latitude, such sen.
sative vines would, no doubt, incline
to twist in the opposite direction to
what they do here, and for the same
reason. In the case of other vines, we
find a promiscuous tendency to twist
in either direction, as the young shoots
happen to take their initial turn. Out
os a score or more of different wild
vines which we recently examined in
Jungle thirty miles from this city we
found about as many specimens twist
| ing in one direction as in the other

There were thousands of homes, but for him
was no place.
Aweary and hungry, disheartened and sad,
The time had been long since his spirit was |

And be sat ON the steps at nobleman's door,
And for solace he sang the refrain DER and ef:
''IIome, home, sweet, sweet home,

He had not shilling TO pay for a bed,
When he wrote what in luxury many have said:
mid pleasurers aud palaces though We may
roam,
BE it ever so humble, there's no place like
home.'
The words full of cheer from his sorrows were
wrung,
He sighed, what in thankfulness others have
sung:
"a charm from the skies seems TO hallow US
