THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
A Discriminating Tribute Paid 1t BY q
Political Opponsnt.

From the Brooklyn Eagle lind. Dem.)l
Il Is evident that the oficial habit sits east
ly on the President; that he has . self-con-
| fdsnee which is calmness. without esotism,
And refinement which leads bin in quiet
ways wherein he walks without fea,
There 10 apparently no timidisy and no tru-
eulency about the man. His appointments
have also deepened the respect Of men.
Many said be could not appoint Blaine,
without suicide or self-suppressio /, or omit
10 appoint him. without ingrati,ude. He ap-
pointed him, but no truthful critic has
found anything yet to justify the assumption
that Blaine 10 the Administration. Meth
er has that great leader Indeed. the incur
able BlainiAcs resort to the proposition
now that the Secretary of State has been
Inundated, belittled and snufied out. Any es-
innate Of his condition, which is not extreme
will dissatisfy any Of their conceptions con-
earning Mr.. Blaine. The avidity with which
they have shifted from the theory of Mr..
Blaine's supremacy TO the theory of Mr..
Blaine's placement proves that their disease
is chronic, and that President Harrison is
master Of his own council and of his own
coGnsels.
Equally agreeable to the moderate and
just men Of both parties was the selection of
Postmaster General Wanamaker. His &C
eeptability to the country demonstrates that
for invented eslumnies no created success
is possible and that the sheer reiteration Of
such calumnies only fatiguss readers and
renders newspapers ridiculous. Messrs.
Blaine and Wanamaker were the two men
whom journalistic bullying took a contract to
break down with the Presi lent and with the
public The practitioners of that form of
bullying, alike with the most impotent and
the most offensive there is, needed a lesson.
The lesson has been administered Equally
successful was the choice Of the rest of the
Cabinet. the CHI 1ice of General Tracy being
little short Of an inspiration.
The selections so far made for other offices,
especially the appointments to foreig n places,
have likewise been both wise and shrewd.

American Iron and Steel Gradually Alb

The Pittsburg Dispatch says that when
Mr.. Bsysrd became secretary of state he
found Just above his desk the portraits Of
Abraham Lincoln. Daniel Webster and
L. :. Grant. The combination did not
please him and he banished Webster to
an anteroom and hung picture of Mr.
Cleveland in the vacant place. When
Mr.. Blaine came to the desk two weeks
sgo he looked at the picture of Mr..
Cleveland with displeasure. Calling one
of his assistants he whispered to him
earnestly for few moments. The fol-
lowing day the face of Mr.. Cleveland
had disappeared and Webstcrs strong
eountenance again held the place of
honor. Clearly enough the present
Secretary of State was fully Justified in
repairing the error and bad taste of his
predecessor.

of Justice Matthews by which his family
drops from the Supreme Court circle, and
the stepping back of his daughter as mis-
tress Of another home in the circle. is u
very rare occurrence. As there is no rea-

CHANGE OF MOTION INTO HEAT.
A Curious Illustration of the Transforma
tfon-An EXPLANATION

Curious Illustration of the Trnnsforma-
tion-An Explanation.
The opinion is now commonly accepted
by scientific men that all bodies, substan-
ces, gases and liquids are composed OF null
titudes of particles or molecules of almost
inconceivable smallness, and these are sup
posed to be in motion among themselves
this motion, moreover, being heat; that is
to say, heat is neither more nor less than
kind of motion, and this interval vibration
can be transmitted into a perceptible
mechanical movement, or, on the other
hand, mechanical movement can be convert
ed into the invisible motion called heat.
How the change takes place no one
knows, but the change is none the less
fact. As illustrating this point writer in
the Mechanical Engineer cites the fact that
the difference between solid and gas is
simply that the motion of the particles or
molecules of the gas is much greater in ex-
tent than is the motion of the particles of
the solid, some gases also having greater
range of motion than other gases, and if by
any means the motion is taken out of gas,
say by COMPRISING it into vessel, the
sides and ends of which reduce the range of
movement, then, as nothing is lost in
nature, the invisible and insensible motion
of the gas, which it has lost, reappears as
heat in visible form, and it is found that
the sides of the vessel become hot.
Further, the oxygen which has combined
with coal has very considerable range of
internal motion, but when the oxygen has
combined with the coal, another gas, known
as carbonic acid gas, is produced, and the
particles of this gas having a much smaller
range of motion than the particles of the
oxygen have, the difference appears in the
form of heat

RANDALL's POPULAR DAUGHTER.
Girl Without Any Nonsense and VIII,
Sustains Her Father.

A Girl Without Any Nonsense and Who
Sustnins Her Father.
1 saw the other day a strong-featured
young lady, wearing glasses, driving rather
a stylish turnout, one of those yellow "buek-
boards" with small rail around, and a seat
for footman behind. The horse was raw
boned and clumsy. The young lady held
the whip and reins in an independent, off
hand way, as if she were on genuine Penn
sylvania blackboard" going to the cheese
factory, and the load behind were can of
milk instead of big black man in livery.
In her features 1 recognized Samuel j.
Randall, and knew her to be his daughter.
Randall is one Of the most affectionate men
in his family I ever knew, but somehow, if
possible, think he is more devoted TO his
unmarried daughter than to any of the rest.
She is as much like him as young girl can
be like an old man in appearance, and her
manners and disposition would make any
one recognize her who knew him. She is
absolutely devoid of afectation, and is as
smart as whip. During her fathers ILL
ness she has been his standby. When it
was thought that he-was in danger of death,
her force of character sustained Mrs.
Randall and the rest Of the family, and
after he got back to his work she used to
come to his committee room to see how he
felt and to offer him assistance. No matter
how much perpleJed and taxed by his work,
a smile of pleasure came on his face at
sight of her. He would throw his arm
across her shoulders as if she were boy.
He says she sustains him, and he is as proud
of her as can be. When she walks down
the avenue she attracts considerable atten-
tion without knowing it. She always walks
with a brisk, swinging gait, and never
wears a hustle. She is one of the most pop
ular girls in Washington.
