A Bit of Hlee0Pg.

&c Ross, modest printer In New
Mexico, has written letter In The St.
Louis Republic which recalls one Of the
most stormy and critical periods in our
civil history-the time when Andrew
johnson, the only American president
ever impeached, was ON trial before the
United States senate. There were seven
Republican senator's who voted against
the presidents conviction and thus saved
congress from what would have baen
recognized afterwards as o lasting dis
grace.
The vote on theimpeachment was taken
twenty-one years ago last May. 10 waa
known, beforehand, that six Republican
senators would vote for aoquittal. The
vote of the seventh one was In doubt.
After the ballot was taken the voee
stood: For conviction, 85; against, 10.
The count only fellshozt OF the ;eonstatu-
tional two-third majority required BY
one vote. The seventh Republican was
Mr.. E. G. Ross, then senator from Kan
sas. He was recently governor of New
Mexico. What would have happened In
case Andrew johnson had been found
guilty is summed up by Ex-Governor
Ross in his modest letter:
My great hope, for ths past twenty seapay has
been to live long enough 10 see my action indozged
by the American psople, and that hope seams
now likely to be realized have always felt Q

How many rich and idle women are
there that spend their time as the Wits
of Robert Ray Hamilton spends hers,
since she has been in, prtsons She smokes
cigarettes and reads Ouida's novels. Un-
fortunately occupations like these meas
ure the value Of the tsme Of TOO many
women who are released from working

quite too many Eva Hamiltons among

An English genius has applied q fresh
idea to the nickel-in- -tae-slot machines.
An electric lamp for reading is affixed to
the compartments of railway cars. II
you put heavy English copper penny
in the slot, and at the same time press q
knob. an electric lamp will suddenly
light itself. When you have read half
an hour the lamp concludes you have
got your penny's worth and automatic
ally extinguishes itself. If you want to
read more you must feed the slot with
another copper cart wheel. There 10,
however, one feature of this lamp that
stamps it as distinotively un-American.
If the lamp fails to act the penny Is au-
tomatically returned to the owner. Nc
American machine would ever do that.

Statistics OF the drygoods importing
trade for the past twenty years are inter
esting. They show that while o,lf inn
ports in other directions have largely In
creased, in textile fabrics, except those
made from jute and fax, the growth
has been very small 1t is not that our

the irrepressibs conflict between the white
