AS TO THE MESSAGE.

ANY attempt to materially interfere with
what the minority has come to look upon as
its right would be stubbornly resisted by
the Democrats, and there are few Repub-
licans who are equally tenacious of their in
dividual rights under the present practice,
but some notifications will undoubtedly be
attempted in order to prevent small mi
nority (for instance, one-fifth of themembers
present who may now compel the roll to be
called, ad libitum, upon flibustering mo-
tions) from controlling very large ma
jority.
The Committees on Rules. Mileage, En-
rolled Bills and Accounts will necessarily
be appointed this week; but of late years
the practice has been to defer the appoint
ment of the remaining committees until
after the holiday recess, so that no legislative
business is likely to be transacted before the
New Year.
Meanwhile, following numerous prece-
dents, the House will probably permit the
introduction of bills for printing and refer
ence to appropriate committees, when ap-
pointed, and of these bills and resolutions.
new and old, there are vast numbers now
ready for introduction.

So 1NDEsTRUCTIBLE by wear or de-
cay is the African teakwood that YES
sells built of it have lasted fully 100
years, to be then broken up only on
account of their poor sailing qualities
on account of faulty models. The
wood, in fact, is one of the most re-
markable employed in human indus
tries on the score of its great weight,
hardness, and durability, its weight
varying from some forty-two to fifty
two pounds per cubic foot. 1t works
easily, but because of the large guam
tity of slick contained in it the tools
employed in it's manipulation are in q
short time worn away. 1t, however,
possesses the advantage of containing
an oil which prevents the spikes and
other iron work with which it may
come in contact from rusting. The
difference between this and the East
Indian teakwood, though both are
used for shipbuilding, is notable. The
latter, which is really the most yalu-
able timber produced in that country,
is light and easily worked, strong,
durable. not liable to the attacks of in
sects, abounds in slick, and resembles
coarse mahogany. The tree requires
some sixty to eighty years growth to
produce the size of timber preferred
for shipbuilding, and much of it is used
in England for this purpose.

CHARLES T. ORBANN, Philadelphia
newsboy, was pushed off cable train
by conductor. His right leg was cut
off. The boy has recovered $4,000 in

back to the Court of Common Pleas.
Said the Judge to the jury which
Justly found SO literally for the boy;
"If you find that there has been neg
ligence on the part of the defendant,
the plaintiff is entitled to damages. In
determining what damages to give
you must regulate it on the theory OF

The Japan Herald gives some figures
to show how the Canadian Pacific
steamer line has cut out the San Fran
cisco lines, and it attributes this in a
great measure to the trouble given to
shippers by the necessity of consular
certificates, which Canada does not re-
quire. It is not due to any difference
in rates of freight, "as rates have all
along ruled pretty much alike" In
the season of 1888, up to the middle
of December, the shipments to Canada
by San Francisco steamers were 1885,
172 pounds, while the Canadian line
carried 3,773, 921 pounds. This season
up to the same date, the shipments via
San Francisco have been only 735, 265
pounds, while 5,35S,944 pounds have
been sent via Vancouver.
