WASHINGTON, January 2O.-A Delaware

to follow. He isn't an eloquent orator, as
some people say, but very forcible speaker,
with a flow of strong language and con-
siderable logic. He thinks we'll on his feet,
and doesn't hesitate to put his thoughts in
the strongest words.
"It remains to. be seen how the dignifed
Senators who think 70 newcomer ought to

the first day of his entry into that body, if
the occasion suits him."

Origin of the Shot Tower.

There was mechanic in Bristol, Eng,
whose name was Watts, by trade shot
maker. Watts had to take great bars of
lead and pound them out into sheets of
thickness about equal to the diameter of
the Shot he desired to make. Then he cut
the sheets into little cubes, which he rolled
in revolving barrel until the corners
were worn off from the constant friction.
Watts after an evening spent with some
io1, companions at the ale house, went
home and turned into bed. He dreamed
that he was out again with the "boys. !"
They were all trying to find their way
home when it began to rain shot Beauti-
full globules of lead, polished and shining,
fell to his feet. In the morning when
Watts arose he remembered his dream.
and wondered what shape molten lead
would take in falling distance through the
air. At last he carried ladle full of the hot
metal up in the steeple of the church of
St. Mary of Redclif, and dropped it into
the mote below. Descending, he took from
the bottom of the shallow pool several
handfuls of perfect shot, far superior to
any he had ever seen. Watts fortune was
made. He had conceived the idea of the
shot tower.-N Y. Graphic.

HIS WAY AND OURS.

A woman once fellfrom the ways that are pure
She fell and her sin held her down,
She sought for a step where she might chance TO
rise,
But the Pharisees gave her frown.
They brought her to court in the presence OF
Christ
And asked him that death he command,
But he only knelt down, and with fingers so pure
Wrote silently there in the sand.
The throng was so eager they asked him again,
They felt that their work must be done,
And Christ, looking up from his tablet of dust,
Said, He that is pure cast the stone"
Not one in that throng was there left to condemn,
They fed, for their souls were impure;
He finished his writing, and rising he said:
Go. woman and sin thou no more"
To-day in our midst has some woman gone doW n
The Pharisees frown on her still,
The world will but scorn should she try to re-
/ form,
She is crushed by the burrs of the mill.
How many to-day who believeth on him
Are true to their word and their trust?
How many would turn when asked to condemn
And silently write in the dust?
| When the sin Of a woman is written to day,
They trace it in marble and stone
| The sin of man is but written in dust
| All isn't our labor well done? ~
| Why do not they who profess to obey
The precepts he left on this shore,
When asked to condem who hath fallen in sin,
| Say, Woman, go, sin thou no more?"

New Orleans as a Rice Market.

Of late years this city has become of con-
siderable consequence as rice market,
and now may justly lay claim to the dis
tinction of being the leading rice center
of the United States. New Orleans handles
the bulk of the domestic rice produc-
ton, and from this point the north and
west draw the greater portion of their
supplies,
The Carolinas are the only competitors
of this State in the rice industry, and usu-
ally the Atlantic coast points take good
portion of their supplies from the Corolina
markets. This season, however, the At
lantic coast has exhausted its stock, hence
spectacle of the Carolina dealers coming
to New Orleans as buyers. Recently
quite liberal amounts of clean rice have
been shipped to Charleston, and as there
are still many months left to the season,
there is likelihood that much larger
amounts Of our rice will find their way in
the same direction.
The most interesting feature of this
movement is the fact that it is one of the
direct results of the stoppage of the i'm
ports of foreign rice under the uncleau
clause, and proves very conclusively the
damage that has been done in the past to
the domestic industry.
This demand from the Carolinas will
greatly help to consume the local stock of
rice, hence there is every reason why better
prices should prevail for the article
Clean rice in the local market has been be-
low the parity of the Atlantic coast, and
even lower than the cost of rough rice
should warrant.-N 0. Picayune.

Unexpected Meeting.

Not long after the close of the war, Mr..
j. T. Trowbridge visited the field of Get
tysburg, and held conversations with many
persons residing in the neighborhood. One
afternoon, on Cemetery Hill, he met sol
dier who was in the battle, and who, being
at Harrisburg for few days, had taken
advantage of an excursion train to revisit
the scene of that terrible experience
Getting into conversation, we walked
down the hill together. As we were ap-
preaching a double house with high
wooden steps, he pointed out the further
one, and said:
Saturday morning, after the fight, l
got piece of bread at that house. A man
stood on the steps and gave each of us fell
lows piece We were hungry as bears,
and it was godsend. / should like to see
that man and thank him .
just then the man himself appeared at
the door. We went over and introduced
the soldier, who, with tears in his eyes,
expressed his gratitude for that act Of
Christian charity.
Yes, said the man, when reminded of
the circumstance, '.we did what we could.
We baked bread here night and day to
give 70 every hungry soldier who wanted
it, We sent away our own children to
make room for the wounded soldiers, and
