CORRIDOR CHATS.

Many have an idea that there will be
no organized opposition to the renomi-
nation of Gov. Merriam in the coming
Republican state convention. The per-
sistent ''capping" for his eXcellency
being done by the Pioneer Press just
now would seem to indicate that neither
the governor nor his managers feel that
sublime confidence in the result OF the
convention which they affect. They are
like mariner at sea in a stormy season
of the year, and they are fearful that
sudden ''squall' may blow up in some
portion of the country which would
knock all their finely laid schemes Oh
the head. A prominent local politician
from Southern Minnesota remarked yes
terday: eff Merriam wants renomI-
nation he had better start the Pioneer
Press on new tack. That paper does
not. and ought not, to carry any weight
with the Republicans of Minnesota.
Its high moral SenSIbilitieS would not
allow it to support Col. Kiefer and the
Republican ticket in the late election IN
ST. Paul. but it hasn't scruple of any
kind over supporting Merriam both be-
fore and after the party convention, re-
CARELESS OF whom the opposition may
place in the field; and yet Col. Kiefer
and all his friends never did one lOta OF
the wrong inflicted upon the people of
Minnesota by the political demoraliza-
ton wrought by the present chief eX-
ecutive of the state by the aid of his
wealth. Yes. sir: there will be oppoSi-
ton to the denomination of Merriam at
the July convention, and, if he buys the
nomination there, he Will be beaten at
the polls"

paratively few Northwestern guests
were registered at the hotel there were
no less than three OF four pages covered

At the Merchants it was extremely
dull, and there were few guests from
other than Northwestern points, and
not particularly large number of these.

Delicacx of Mint Scales.

Dubuque Telegraph.
The fine gold weighing scales made
in Philadelphia and intended for the
mint at New Orleans a few days
ago are marvels of mechanical in
vention and expert workmanship.
The larger of the two pairs has ca
pacity of 10000 ounces, troy. or abou
6S7 pounds avoirdupois, and when loadt
ed to its full weighing capacity will in
dictate the variation of the one-thous-
andths of an ounce. The other and
smaller pair are intended for lighter
work. All its bearings are of the finest
agate, which have been ground with re-
markable precision. This instrument is
believed to be the most delicate in the
world. 1t will give the precise weight
of human hair, and is susceptible to
the slightest atmospheric changes.

NEW YORK HOUSETOPS.
The Roofs of the Big City Are Put
to Curious Uses-They Are the
Counting Grounds of the Poor.

to Curious Uses-They Are the
Counting Grounds of the Poor.
Chatterer.
The other day the newspapers told
the story of how some girls on one roof
firted with young man on another
roof, and how the young man, in en-
deavoring to go from his roof to theirs,
slipped and fell-into eternity. To how
many, even IN New York, did that
news paragraph suggest the important
part the roofs play in this city?
We have all heard of the roofs of
Jerusalem, much the finest feature of
the town, no doubt-yet the whole of
Jerusalem is a trifle compared to the
life on the roofs of New York.
In place where land is valued as it
is on this island, there is a great city
underground and great fraction of the
life of the place is spent on
the roofs. In the summer the
tenement roofs are the pleasure re-
sorts of the poor. Beginning at Baxter
street and continuing north to Harlem,
on the East side, the demand for sleep
ing places on the cool and breezy roofs
places-the tardy ones find no sleeping
room left.
1t has always been astonishing to me
that no artist makes and no journal
prints a picture of midSu miner
night scene on a roof, say Ill
Baxter or Forsyth or Mulberry streets.
The crowding of the sleepers, their
light attire, particularly that of the men
aud BOYS, and the discomfort the scene
suggests would open the eyes of the
readers to conditions they never
dreamed had existence.
Then. too, the tenement roofs are
greatly in use as ball rooms on early
summer evenings. There the boys and
girls dance to the music of mouth or
gans and accordeons.
They are great places for lovers to
WOO in. The parks and roofs are the
counting grounds of the poor, for there
is no privacy in the tiny crowded
cheaper apartment houses are the
clothes-drying grounds. and the tenants
are obliged to agree to take their turns
at this use OF the space, the flrst-foor
tenants having the roof on Mondays,
the second-foOr tenants OH Tuesday,
and so on.
Leaving these crowded hives we turn
to what the English call the ''self-con-
tained." or separate dwellings, and here
again the roofs are utilized.
Some are quite deliberately fittedup in
summer with potted flowers and avn
ings and swimming hammocks-even
with cots at uight We know Of one
which supports a glass-inclosed apart
ment with a bath tank for use all the
year around.
New York has a concert hall on the
roof, as every one knows, and the roof
of the palatial Equitable building is one
of the show places of the city, the best
place from which to view all the other
Zoofs that shelter 3,720,0O0 persons IN
and about town.
From there and from the Brooklyn
bridge you can see that businesses are
also carried on above the garrets, the
businesses of solar printing, of pelt and
fur drying, of preparing rushes. wicker
stuff for chairs and many other callings
more than any of us are aware of.

TIE TEACHERS PREPARATION.

One Of the greatest difficulties before
educational authorities in connection
with the work Of teachers institutes is the
matter Of the educational qualification Of
to do their legitimate work because the
teachers are not prepared for such work
many are very deficient In subject mat
ter. Time is thrown away in attempting
to givs instruction in any branch Of peda-
gogy to those who are not proficient in the
matter to be taught. Throughout the
state the salary Of teachers IN the country
schools Is based upon the grade OF the
certificate held. II is. then. matter Of
prime importance to the teacher whether
he holds q first, second. or third grade
certificate.
The energetic teacher has now an op-
portunity Of raising his qualification at q
very slight expense.
The Teachers profession" o monthly
journal, is published expressly TO meet
this end. II contains lists OF questions !.
all branches that are Of Importance to any
teacher in town or country school. The
answers are published in issues succeed.
