Some one, man apparently, who
signs himself "B. F. p" is writing a
series of papers on authors 1 Have
St. for The Boston Transcript. How
do you suppose he has met his authors?
At the club or in the dining room? Not
at all. In a much more practical way
as proofreader and compositor; and he
discusses them from a manuscript point
of view. The most of his meeting was
done in Boston, and he tells us how
amiable were such men as Robert G.
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 ''Intagliotype Print
ing," by Horace Greeley, that he learned
what it was to have a 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 upto. We were in fear and
trembling. But what was our surprise
to hear him remark to the boss, Your
proofreading here is better than 1t is in
The Tribune officep and he had made
but few changes. The boss was a fair
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
the chirography before. Been in my Of
fee? queried Mr.. Greeley. Yes, SIR
Come back to it. lost him."
I don't wonder that Mr.. Greeley did
not want to part with man who could
read his handwriting.-Critic.

Rot Water and Dyspepsia.

Another hydriatic method, which acts
by removing the cause of disturbance, is
the slipping of hot water an hour before
meals, in dyspepsia, writes DR.. s.
Baruch, in Times and Register. The hot
water craze, which now has taken firm
hold upon the lay public, is but the legiti-
mate outcome of a valuable therapeutic
application of water, whose simplicity
commends it at once to the judgment of
the intelligent physician. Brought into
prominence by DR.. Salisbury, who COM
mitted the error of most enthusiasts of
regarding it as panacea for most dis
eases, it has now been adopted by the
profession as a most valuable agent in
many gastric troubles. By removing the
process of fermentation, by cleansing the
mucous membrane Of mucous, it restores
tone and vigor to the gastric lining, and
enables the natural forces to come into
play. 1t is important to observe strict
compliance with the rule laid down by
the originator, viz that the water should
be slipped as hot as possible, and that an
hour should elapse before meal is
taken. Examples of failure due to neg
lect OF. this rule are numerous in the ex-
perience of all medical men.

Strange Freak of q Flood.

DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 26.-A terrific
electric storm with heavy rain flooded
the rivers here Monday. Rip raps and
levees were washed out and ten-inch

a geyser, and a column of gas resem-
bling black smoke assembled 200 feet,
terrifying the people, The injury to the
gas mains shuts out the west side from
fuel for heating and cooking purposes.

to Chicago, but it did not. Nobody fol-
lowed his example and Chicago with its
total of 155 was yet one short of a ma.
iority. Another roll call was in order,
the eighth and last. In this Chicago
came out victorious, and out of 307 votes
cast, received 157, three more than
enough.
When the speaker announced the re-
suit and a victory for Chicago the Chi
cagoans shouted and cheered. The house
was in an uproar; and in the midst of it,
at p. M. adjourned.

the House to keep, shows on a call Of the yeas
and nays that quorum has MT voted, he can
count members present and not voting, aud
thus by his own act, outside of the recorded
vote, determine that measure has passed, we
considered it our duty, as part of the repre-
sentatves of the people, to enter our protests
in every form available TO us under the circum-
stances.
WHAT THEY ARE coNTENDING FOR
We are not contending for the right of the
minority to govern, as the supporters of the
speaker have endeavored to made the country
believe. On the contrary, we are denying the
right of the minority to eject members from
their seats or to pass laws for the government
of the people. Under the constitution a major
ity of the members of the House constitute
quorum to do business, and we are simply in
sisting that less than majority shall not
do business. We are contendng that the ma iority
shall take the responsibility which properly
belongs to them and shall come TO the House of
Representatives and vote if they desire TO con-
troll its proceedings; ami we are protesting
against their right to carry their measures by
counting us when we do not vote The claim
OF the majority that they have the right to gov
ern the House without attending its sessions
and taking part in the conduct of its business
is too preposterous 10 require refutation.

minority in the House, that it cannot possibly

injustice to the majority Its only effort will be

poSed.upon them. On the other hand, no one
can foresee the evils that may result from the
Inauguration of the practice of counting votes

Under it a minority of the members
elected to the House and Senate may pass most
tyrannicIl laws for the oppression of the peo-
pie, and most corrupt laws for the spoliation of
the public treasury. Whether so intended or
not, its direct tendency is TO break down the
barriers heretofore existing for the protection
of the citizen against the encroachments of
power and the spoliation of the treasury by
destroying the limitations which the constitu-
ton has wisely imposed upon the legislative.
The debarments of the constitution are made
to restrain majorities. and protect minorities
A majority ruling without limitation or re-
straints upon its power is pure despotism, and
