Samuel j. Randall.

Samuel J. Randall is one OF the
many distinguished sons OF Pennsyl-
vania. He was born in Philadelphia,
Oct. 10, 1928, the son of an eminent
lawyer Of that city. His mother was
a daughter of James Worrel u Demo-
cratic leader in the days of jefferson,
so that the ex-Speaker may be said to
be traditionally as well as by convic-
tion Democrat. His first position in
public life was as n member of the
City Council of Philadelphia, wherein
he showed marked ability, and was
soon transferred to the Senate of his
native State. The beginning of the
civil war prompted Mr.. Randall to mil:
itary service in the lighthouse Of Phil
adelphia. He received promotion I'M
til he became COrnet a rank equal to
that of Captain. In 1868 he was
among the troops advanced to Harris
burg, rs the result OF Gen. Lees inva-
sion of Northern territory. During
the battle Of Gettysburg, his rank was
that of Provost Marshal of Columbia.
He entered the Thirty-eighth Congress
in December, 1863, and has kept his
scat in the House of Representatives
ever since. He has served on the
Committees of Public Buildings and
Grounds, Banking and Currency, Re-
trenchment and Expenditures in the
State Department. He is a ready,
concise speaker, without rhetorical af-
fectations. He was elected Speaker in
1876, and held the position until the
election of G. w. Keifer. He has ever
been an outspOken advocate of q Judi
ciously adjusted protective tariff, and
has never wavered from his position
except when monopoly and protection
was the object sought to be attained.
The "free trade" papers were unani-
nous in their antagonism to his candi-
dacy for Speaker of the Forty-eighth
Congress, and Carlisle, of Kentucky,
was chosen to the position. In the early
part of 1885, Mr.. Randall made tour
of the South and was received with
much enthusiasm.

SURPRISED ALL ARoUND-Last week
the wife of a prominent Whatcom bust
ness man went visiting for a few days
and left her husband ut home alone tC
rough it as best he could. In order to
surprise her and discourage any more
visits, he hit upon plan that worked
like charm. He went to the store
and bought a fine night-robe of the
feminine gender, mussed it up as if it
had recently been occupied, then laid
it under the pillow Of his bachelor bed
to await discovery by his wife on hel
return. She returned, went to make
the bed and there beheld that garment
"a robe not her own. How could il
have been left there. Her jealous ma
ture naturally suggested that her hus-
band had not been alone in her absence
With eyes flashing fire she tore that
garment into a thousand pieces
smashed the china-set aud kicked a
hole through the mirror, then awaited
the return of her husband. He soon
went home smiling, but a surprise
awaited him, also. She pulled his
scalp-lock out, twisted his ear three
inches out of place and blacked hi.
eye before he could explain the joke
Hereafter she will not 60 visiting and
he will not play jokes on her even il
she stays for a mOnth.-ReueiNe.

BLAINE is aping Grant. Blaine is a
smarter, more intelligent man than
Grant was, but he was not fortunate
enough to catch on the swell as it came
in; he rather went out on it. Grant
was circus and menagerie; Blaine SIM
ply Roman hippodrome. He wanted
to be made President by a spontaneous
outburst of enthusiasm; he was hit in
the face with soft tomato instead.
He went to Europe to pose as a grandee
and succeeded in achieving some noto-
riety by travelling in England under
the escort of Carnagie, Il millionaire
iron monger, who always shuts down
his mill when he wants to take vaca-
ton and throws employees out of work.
Mr.. Blaine has been hobnobbing in
England and among the British for
months, and being lionized by the no.
bility and aristocracy Of the kingdom.
His advance agent has worked up a
grand street pageant and caravan to
greet him on his arrival. One of the

HAS CHANGED FRONT.

In the furtheSt, southeastern island of the
Philippine group, Mindinao, upon one of its
mountains, Parag, in the neighborhood of
the highest peak in the island, the volcano
ADO. a party of botanical and ethnograph-
ical explorers found recently, at the height
of $500 feet above the sea level, a colossal
flower. The dscoverer, DR.. Alexander Scha-
denberg, could scarcely believe his eyes when
be saw amid the low growing bushes the i'm
mense buds of TINS flower, like gigantic
brown cabbage heads. But he was still more
astonished when he found a specimen in full
bloom, a five petaled flower, nearly yard in
diameter-as large as a carriage wheel, in
fact. This enormous blossom was borne on
sort of vine creeping on the ground. 1t
was known to the native who accompanied
DR. Schadenberg, who called it Boo. The
party had no scale, using their boxes and
specimens as weights. Weighing these when
opportunity served, it was found that a single
flower weighed over twenty-five pounds
| 1t was impossible to transport the fresh
| flower, so the travellers photographed it, and
dried a number of its leaves by the heat of a
| fire. DR.. Schadenberg then sent the photo
| graphs and dried specimens to the Roya
Botanical Gardens at Breslau, where the
learned director Immediately recognized il
as species of raffiesia, plant formerly dis
covered IN Sumatra and named after the
English governor, Sir Stamford Rafiies
The new flower was accordingly named Raj
fiesta Schadenbergia. The FIVE petals of thi
| immense flower are oval and creamy white
and grow around center, filed with count
loss lnuor violet huad stampDS thicker an,

plished by insects, whose larvae breed in tn,

flower develops a soft berrylike fruit, il
which countless seeds are iInbedded. Th
flower exhaIes a poisonous gas, even whei
