Hooker & Co. of Brattleboro have
succeeded in getting a hearing before
the State Congressional Delegation,
which will come off tomorrow al
Washington, on the following charges
"1st. That sufficient notice for the
caucus was not given, it being less
than five days.
I'd. The kind of ballots used were
not in accordance with the directions
of the delegation. They were unlike
and readily distinguishable in the
voters hand.
Sd. That Mr.. Childs is an active
and partisan democrat and that his
canvass for the caucus was aided and
abetted by democrats and those in
active sympathy with the democratic
party.
4th. Quite number voted for Mr..
Childs at the caucus, who under the
regulations were disqualified so to do.
9th. The names of many republi-
can patrons of the office were pro-
cured upon Mr.. Childs' petition
through deception and misrepresenta-
ton, and that said petition, SO made
up in part, at least, was made use OF
by Mr.. Childs' supporters in his can
vass for the caucus and at the eau
Gus.
9th. The caucus was procured and
carried by misrepresentation and
fraud.
OF course this is puerile, but il
answers the purpose to keep these
fellows names before the public,
which they seem bound to do no mat
ter for the stencil it raises. But the
brilliancy comes in on behalf of the
Congressional Delegation. This body
referred the postotfice settlement to q
caucrs, but are now ready TO reopen
the case and settle it themselves.

Where the Nickel Comes From.

In the Copper Cliff mine, near Sud-
hiry, Canada, it is said more nickel is
being produced than the entire market
of the world calls for at current prices.
A little branch off the main line of the
Canadian Pacific railway, four miles in
length, leads out to the mine, which
opens into the face of crag of the brown,
oxidized Laurentian rock, characteristic
of this region. The miners are now at
work at depth of about 800 fest below
the surface. As fast as the nickel and
copper bearing rock is hoisted out, it is
broken up and piled upon long beds, or
ricks, of pine wood, to be calcined or
roasted, for the purpose of driving out
the sulphur which it contains. The roast
ing process is of the nature of lime kiln
ing or charcoal burning. Each great bed
of ore requires from one to two months
to roast. When roasted the rock goes to
the principal smelter, powerful blast
furnace 'jacketed"--in mining phrase
with running water, to enable it to sus-
tain the great heat requisite to reduce
the crude, obdurate mineral to fluidity,
Lie uIOSS VI bIc 10
allowed to flow off, and afterward the
nearly pure nickel and copper, blended
together in an alloy called the ''mat," or
matte, is drawn off at the base of the
furnace into the barrow pots and wheeled
away, still liquid and fiery hot, to cool
in the yard of the smelter. The mat con-
tains about 20 per cent of nickel, the re-
naming 80 per cent, being mainly cop
per. When cold, the conical pot loaves
of mat can easily be cracked in pieces
by means of heavy hammers. The frag-
ments are then packed in barrels and
shipped to Swansea in Wales, and to
Germany, where the two constituent
metals are separated and refined by secret
processes, which are very jealousy
guarded by the manufacturers.
So jealously is the secret kept that no
one in America has yet been able to learn
the process, although one young metal
lurgist spent three years in Swansea as
common laborer IN the factories in order
to obtain it, At present there are pro-
duced daily at the Copper Cliff mine
about ninety pot loaves of mat, each
weighing near 450 pounds, an output
which yields an aggregate of more than
1000 tons of nickel a year.-Manufac-
turing Jeweler.

Some one, man apparently, who

Met for The Boston Transcript. How

as a proofreader and compositor; and he
discusses them from manuscript point
of view. The most of his meeting was
done in Boston, and he tells us how
amiable were such men as Robert c.
Winthrop, Josiah Quincy, Joseph Story
and other equally distinguished Boston
ians when they visited the printers. As
a rule these gentlemen wrote carefully
and their manuscript was not difficult to
read. 1t was not until ''B. F. p" came
to New York and had to read the proofs
of pamphlet on ''lntagliotype Print
ing" by Horace Greeley, that he learned
what it was to have really hard time
with manuscript When the 'galley
proofs came to him they were almost
"pi," but he and his copy holder strug-
gled with them and did the best they
could. He says:
Horace came in one morning to read
the authors proof, for he did not want
The Tribune folks to know just then
what he was up to. We were in fear and
trembling. But what was our surprise
to hear him remark to the boss, Your
proofreading here is better than it is in
The Tribune officev and he had made
but few changes. The boss was fan
man and introduced Mr.. Greeley to re-
peat the compliment. He did. l ex-
planned why My copyholder had been
compositor on The Tribune and handled

not want to part with man who could

Hooker versus Horner.

"OH! what BIG boy (Boss)am !"
1t is now positively known that
"Little Jack Horner" Of whom good
old mother Goose sang so sweetly,
and who "sat in corner" was none
other than the infant G. Washington
Hooker; nor is it possible to find
anywhere better illustration of the
old saying that "the child is father to
the man." Even in Ills beautiful in
fancy, long years before his angelic
purity had been "drugged" into q
semblance of ordinary mortals, his
ravenous appetite for pie, and his in
born longing for all sorts of "plums, .
big and little, public and private,
green or ripe, and especially official
plums, impressed all admiring behol :
ders. Then, as ever since, his thumb
was in everybodies' pie:
"HE put in his thumb,
"And pulled out plum"
Thatinfant thumb of his would find
plums in squash pies, yes, in mud
pies, and, sleeping or waking. it has
never ceased feeling for them to this
day. The very first recorded words
this precocious young phenomenon
ever spake foreshadowed the man he
now is, thus:
40! what BIG boy am p
Here's serene self-appreciation (self
conceit some call it) that has s'grown
with his youth, and strengthened with
his strength, until it has obtained the
magnificent proportions we now be-
hold. 1t is evident, though, that
mother Goose, who reported this his
first public speech for the press, made
a mistake in one word. For ''boy''
read "boss" in the last line and you
have the true and revised version,
thus:
80! what BIG Boss am e"
And this is just what he aspires to
be today.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
A MODERN HOME.

The hearthstone and the home
From ancient times came down,
Like pedigrees OF British peers
That antedate the crown.
The poet twines his verse
With grace around the theme,
And plot or prose is incomplete
That drops them from It's dream.
But In this age of change
That cultivates the new,
Patrician habits step aside
And greet the paryenu.
Improvement is its name,
Convenience Is its throne,
And rhyming writers lose their grip
When sentiment has flown.
For now are countless homes
Exied within the fiat;
What facile poet has the nerve
To try his charm on thats
And hearthstones are but pipes,
Back in the corner set;
Rude foes to all alluring thoughts
That dancing flames beget
The imagery of each
Is banished from ones dream,
When home is hired per month en- suite
And the hearthstone holds the steam.
