THE SPEAKERSHIP.


Interest in the contest for the speakership
of the house continues to increase, and the
contest will soon become lively. Mr.. Reed
of Maine still seems to be ahead. Assuming
that all of the congressman from the new
States will be Republican there will be 1853
Republicans in the next house of representa-
tives. The number necessary to nominate in
the Republican caucus will therefore be So.
Mr.. Reeds friends claim that he will have 90
votes on the first ballot, which is more than
is necessary for nomination. These ,92
votes, it is believed. will be distributed as
follows: New England 26, New York 81,
Pennsylvania Is (probably 21). the South II,
Pacific coast z, Kansas 4, Nebraska 1, Mime
sofa 2, Wisconsin 5; total 90. Making all
possible allowances for the claims of rival
candidates it is asserted that under no oom-
bination of circumstances can Mr.. Reed fail
to receive sixty-five votes on the first ballot,
and that so many votes on the first ballot
would be certain to nominate him on the
second.
Mr.. Reed will make good speaker and the
Republicans Of New England will be glad to
see him in the speakers chair.

FIRkMEN 90 rOF POLITICs.


The members of the Boston fire depart
ment are more or less agitated by an attempt
to deprive them of political influence. They
will not hereafter be allowed to take any
part in the political eaucuses.. When the
fire commissioners amended their rules to
this effect, a week or more ago, so much op-
position was Immediately shown by certain
class Of local politicians, that the commits
sioners submitted the new rule to the corpor-
alton counsel, requesting his opinion as to It's
legality. That opinion asserted that "the
board has the power to forbid, by rule or
regulation, the attendance of either perma-
nent or call members Of the IRE department
at any political caucus, if it tends to inter
fere with the duties of such members or to
impair the efficiency of the department. !"
Inasmuch, however, as the caucus is recog-
nized by the statutes, and regulations gov
erning it are provided by law, the corpora
tion counsel thought that unnecessary inter-
ference with attendance thereat might be
considered an enoroachment on the rights of
the fremen. Therefore he recommended
that the amendment be modified, go as to ale
low the fremen to 60 to caucus and vote,
though still prohibiting them from taking
active part therein, unless the commissioners
decided that the more stringent rule was
necessary to preserve the efficiency and
morale of the department" The fire COM
missioners decided that it was necessary, and
that formal prohibition:.of Offensive parti-
sanship" would not be sufficient. Therefore
the rule will be continued in force.
This is a rather long step to take, but it is
probable that the firemen will still continue
to exercise all the political influence to which
they are entitled.

Treatmentofc Celery


Celery, whether self-branching or other
wise, can be grown with much or little labor,
but like other vegetables, The more care that
is given, the better will be the result. There
is certain crispness and delicacy of flavor
which eau only be impaired by banking gen.
erously with earth. Previous to banking,
some attention Is necessary.
Last year bought few pounds of straw
paper, cut the sheet into ten inch strips, and
wrapped each plant in a paper jacket, then
hilled up almost to the top Of the papers.
After little practice, this can be done as ex-
peditiously as the ordinary tying up. This
wrapping should be done when the plants
are perhaps foot high, keeping the loose
end Of the paper in place with a handful OF
earth, thrown on with garden trowel, until
the row is finished. Care should always be
taken in hilling up to give broad base to
| the hill, as the soil will need to be drawn up
higher, later on, if the plants have grown far
enough above the paper to make it necessary.
Persons raising celery on large scale, for or
dinary market purposes, would hardly care to
| take this trouble, but if only few hundred
! for family use are grown, this plan cannot be
| too highly recommended. There are two ad.
vantages gained by this process: a. There
are no crooked stalks, as is often the cast
when the plants are tied up. (2.) Il prevents
earth-worms from nibbling the stalks, whicl
/! they are sure to do in wet season.

agination she drew CROSS mark down the

She always dined with a butler, in evening

plush to aid him. Even If she sat down to
the meal quite alone the whole place was lit
with wax candles, the tables loaded with
flowers and all the plush Glad lackeys with
knee breeches and powdered hair ranged
round the dining room. Every time she
passed to or from her carriage all the foot
men were in attendance, ranged along in a
double row from the front door to the
carriage. They all came out and bowed sol
emnly as she passed between them until the
last footman shut the door of the vehicle,
and as soon as she was sighted returning the
lackeys were summoned, and she gained the
threshold again between an avenue of plush

NORTHWESTERN FLUMEs.
The Method of Transporting Log
Great Distances.

Great Distances.
What are known as lumber fumes are be-
ing used quite extensively in the northeast
ern portion of this State for the carrying Of
lumber from the mills to the point of ship
ment. In the majority of cases fumes are
unused where other methods of transporta'
tion would be impracticable, if not well nigh
impossible, bat in many instances they are
constructed in order to lessen the cost Of
transporting the lumber from the mill to the
railroad station from whence it is to be
shipped. On forty mile fume, for in
stance, the cost of transporting thousand
feet of lumber that distance is about two
dollars, when the cost by teams is fully nine
dollars. From this it will be seen that In
certain portions of this coast fumes are fal
better, both practically and financially, thar
any other method of transportation.
These fumes are for the most part all con-
structed alike and are known as the fume
battened on the outside wherever joint oc.
ours, and piece is laid across the bottom of
the fume inside and about four inches from
the V joint, to prevent boards getting stuck
In the bottom and to give full movement
to the water. It ia five feet across the top
and at height above the ground depending
entirely upon the character of the country It
traverses. The support is termed staging.
and on the top of this framework is a sort of
bracket in which the fume proper rests.
These fumes sometimes run for quite long
distances at an angle of from thirty to forty.
five degrees, and in order to check the fall Of
the lumber and prevent it doing any damage
a long stretch of level fums always follows
one Of these falls and the water resumes its
normal velocity. At the lower end of the
hume the lumber is thrown out on skidways
and from there loaded on tram cars and car
| ried to point of piling or to where 1t is re-
loaded for shipment. A irst-class fume can
| lars mile, the cost Of those now in use
| ranging from three to fifteen thousand dol
lars mile. They will carry one hundred
Thousand feet of lumber and fifty cords e
| wood day without being pushed. For ope
rating one man is required for every five
miles of fume, and there is walk way CON
struoted along the entire length for their use
The water runs at an average speed of fiv'

The Dress and tho Dinners OF MRS.

A Lenox letter to the Chicago News tells
how all last summer Mrs. Westinghouse,
wife of the rich air-brake inventor, sat alone
in her gorgeous house and not q woman In
the place crossed the threshold or sent her q

owners desire to feed her or to amuse her in
any way. But they talked about her. They
talked about very little else. She was the
standing topic Of conversation, and not q
dinner party of the whole season escaped at
least one anecdote about the woman whom
all reiterated should never be allowed to
share their high bred festivities. And she
gave them something to talk about too-pre-
cious food for gossips, for which they were
profoundly grateful. Perhaps no other as-
pirant for social honor ever dared be 80 eo-
centric before.
Mrs. Westinghouse is clever horse wo-
man, and rides frequently beautiful blood

Lyons. A patient was placed under the in
fuence of ehloroform, in order to be sub-
jected to most painful operation. At the
first ineision, however, the man who was un-
usually strong, became conscious. Crazy
with pain, he tore the knife from the operat-
ing physician, and despite the presence Of
several friends he plunged it in an instant
into the hearts of Professor Nagout and a
young man VINO was acting as witness. The
double murderer Was taken into the torture
room and bound Recognizing the fact that
no narcotic could influence him, the opera
tion was successfully performed without its
use. He will recover in all probability. The
interest in his trial, which will take place in
the near future, lies in the defence that he
committed the double crime in fit of tenn
porary insanity caused by the extreme pain.
The case will form an important chapter in
the history of medical law.
DR.. Missen relates in the Madgeburger
Zeitung the following case which has come
under his observation: have just extracted,
he says, from the arm Of patient of mine,
an iron founder, darning needle of seven
centimetres long, which was embedded In a
muscle. The needle was completely black
from oxidation, and had for years caused
great pain to the patient, who was supposed
to suffer from rheumatism in various parts
of the body, and had been treated for that
disease by numerous doctors without sue
cess. AS the man had no recollection of a
needle running in him, 1t is probable that 1t
must have done so in his early childhood,
and that it had been travelling about his body
for some thirty years before it was disoov-
cred. It is worthy of note that when he was
two years old he was treated for some months
for disease Of the spine, the appearance of
which disease may have been caused by the
presence of the needle in the neighborhood
of the spine, and the irritation consequently
set up,
