The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1891-01-21

SOME people arc hard to please.
When the papers were full of the
doings of Speaker Reed, at the last
session of Congress-, the Democrats
kicked like mules because he was
doing too much; now that the House
is quiet and the Speaker does not
find it necessary to squelch two or
three obstreporous Democrats every
day the same people are kicking and
sneering because Mr.. Reed is doing
nothing to keep himself before the
public. Don't worry, gentlemen.
Speaker Reed is all right, and just
as fully prepared to knock out any
fillibustering Democrat as he ever
was, but the members of that party
have learned something by their
past experience and are no ways
anxious to tackle the big man from
Maine. We predict that Mr.. Reed
will make a greater reputation as
the leader of the Republican minor
ity in the House of the Fifty-seconG
Congress than he has gained al
Speaker Of the present House. HI
is great as a presiding officer, bu
greater, in our opinion, as a fighting
leader on the floor of the House.

An Innocent Little Thief.

Perhaps the most simply innocent Of
all reioinders from unwilling culprits
was one made by little Kitty Lee. One
day she was found in the pantry, seat
ed on the floor, and holding custard
pie in her lap. Alasl it had once been
pie, but now nothing was left but the
crust. Kitty looked up, her lips
smeared with custard, and smiled
serenely upon her discoverer.

this bill of Crawford's. It's an old affair.
When he was in the house two years ago
he thought it would be the part of states
man to grumb,e ard erowl about every
thing and so he grumbled and growled
accordiuelv. He thought he was sent TO
the legislature as the special Watchdog
of the treasury. and the republicans had
everything fixed so nicely that they were
afraid Crawford's perpetual growing
would injure their plans To keep him
quiet they got an old bill and gave it to
him so that he might have something to
look after, as he was never likely to have
any bill of his own originating. That
bill has kept him busy ever since aud it
is now where it first began. But that
was not all. Jones. of SangsmoD, a
democrat. got stock yards bill passed
10 third reading at that time before
Crawford knew what was going on. The
republicans feared the effect of this and
killed the bill and took Crawfords meas
ure and tried to pass it but too late in the
session. Then the wise people of Rock
Island sent Crawford to the senate TO
have that bill passed with the result
stated. Perhaps it is as we'll that Craws
ford employs himself at this as at any,
thing else. He has not set any of the
rivers ana streams about Sangamon
county on fire.

schwatka's New Undertaking.

Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka on leaving
St. Paul last Thursday evening to resume
his exploration of Alaska to reporter of
that city said: my journey begins
this evening and expect to keep it up
until late in the fall. We will begin our
explorations at the Yukon river and go as
far west as possible. 1t may be to the
Behring Sea if we are not stopped by the
Indians, and do not anticipate anv such
trouble. The distance to be covered in a
straight line would be some 400 miles,
but our mileage will be governed by the
distance we deviate from this course. We
expect to cover about LOCO miles. No
white man so far as is known has ever
entered this country, so no one can make
any predictions as to what it will be like.
This is my third exploring trip to Alaska,
aud can truthfully say it is wonderful

Attacking Ant Hills With Cannon.

In the forest of Guiana dwell some very
large and exceedingly ferocious black ants,
which throw up hills fifteen and even
twenty feet in height. They will not hest
tate to attack man, and their headquarters
are usually given wide berth The trav-
eler Malouet speaks of having witnessed
the destruction of one of these fortresses
and its inhabitants in a way that was GER
talnly extraordinary. A trench was dug
entirely around it and filed with dry wood,
which was set IRE to simultaneously at all
points. Then a train of artillery was
brought to bear and the hill knocked to
pieces with the cannon balls The ants,
seeking TO escape, were all burned in their
attempt to cross the fiery gutter-Inter-

An Angel IN Disguise.

If the wives of our employers were to
take the trouble to inquire little closer
into the domestic lives of the men en-
ployed by their husbands this world would
be far brighter one for many a hard
worked woman who buries her trouble in
her heart and wipes away the only out
ward trace of it with her apron. l know
of an employer whose wife interested her
self in the lives of the people in his store so
that she ascertained the birthdays of their
wives, their children and even the wedding
days 1t was done so quietly and so sweet
ly that none suspected her purpose, but
now on each festive day in those fifty odd
families there comes some pleasant remem-
brance. 1t is never the same, but always
something that is just needed in that fam
lily at that time.
Every six month those husbands find a
little difference in their salary envelopes.
At Thanksgiving a splendid bird goes to
each of the houses in the employers name,
at Christmas time the hand of the wife is
visible. Now that is practical charity. God
only knows how many burdens that one
woman has made easier, how many lives
she has made brighter. None of the wom-
en- whose paths this one woman has so
pleasantly smoothed has ever seen heri To
them she is like an invisible angel of good
ness, but many are the silent prayers that
go up in those fifty homes for her gentle
consideration for others.-Edward w. Box

Two Kinds of Walks.

Look at the methodical walk of the ser
ried mass of clerks and others in a position
more or less dependent. They are slaves to
the clock, and to the routine to which
their daily hours are devoted. Do they not
walk oddly alike? And well they may, for
they are alike-at least in so far as they
are integers to help forward the routine
business work of the world. Their very
steps seem to say: 81 am one of those who
have to be here at such and such a time,
and there at such time. must not de-
lay. must HE me to my work"
1t is the same with soldiers. They, too,
are like so many spokes in great wheel.
In sweet contrast there is the self made
man. He may have been a clerk like
others in his younger days. If so there is
touch of it still in his gait. But there is
also much more. 1t has developed into a
strut of the first water. He holds his head
high so that all may look st him, and if
they will follow an example may model
themselves upon him. Behold mer' he
seems to say; az am what have made nv
self! Did you ever see anything so remark

Remarkable Arctic Voyage Of the Steam.
ship Thetis in Unknown Waters.
The next day the Thetis overhauled sew
eral whaling vessels, one of which, the
Jane Grey, manned her rigging and cheer
BY Uncle Sans ship. The Thetis had res
cued the Grey in 1885, when the latter had
been capsized, and the captain of the Grey
had resolved always to honor his preserver;
so up in the Arctic, with the pack only
mile away, the vessel manned her rigging
and passed the most stately of marine COM
pliments.
At half past IL of Sunday, September s,
the Thetis, standing westward, sighted
Herald Island, high. gloomy and forbid
ding-a little, inaccessible rock IN the mid
die of the great Arctic ocean. Ten years
before, almost to the day. Captain De Long
had been caught in the ice where the Thetis
now sailed free; not trace of ice was Wis
able now, the high rock bore but little
snow, and the Thetis plunged along within
two miles of what, until within few years,
had beer deemed an outlaying spur of
vast Arctic continent, so seldom had it been
SEEN
Still westward steamed the Thetis. and
as gloomy Herald Island sank behind her
gloomier Wrangel Island rose before her
like Herald Island, believed to be an out
post of an unknown continent. The island
lifted itself up plainly; Berry's Peak tow
cred aloft as the Thetis drew near, grander
and more gloomy than ever, in the dusk of
an autumn day.
There were no sails in sight, and Captain
Stockton determined to put about, more
than satisfied with the trip he had made
from Herschel Island to Wrangel Island
within thirty days. Never before had such
a voyage been made.
So the Thetis turned eastward again.
leaving the great, lonely island behind her,
and the land sank slowly back into the
ocean whence it had risen, and the sun
went down and the moon came up; and
from the land of ice the Thetis steamed
southwark, out of the frozen ocean, victor
in a hand-to-hand struggle with the pow
ers Of the Arctic, and doer of deeds that no
vessel ever before her had done.-Robert
Gordon Butler in Scribner's

InGersoIl on California.

In a recent magazine article Mr.. Ernest
Ingersoll, the noted writer says:
THE climate of Southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt
Its equability is constant, and its dryness
Is proverbial. The only complaint made is
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents
bred in the eastern states confess now and
then that rousing storm would give them
a grateful sensation But this sentiment
meets Wi b no favor from the man who has
just fled from "a supertiuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and to the in
valid dreading the advance of disease, the
still, arid atmosphere is as the breath Of
life"

Anti-Kust Coal Tar.

4 simple and economical way of tarring
sheet iron pipes to keep them from rusting
is as follows: The sections as made should
be coated with coal tar and then filled with
light wood shavings, and the latter set on
fire. 1t is declared that the effect of this
treatment will be to render the iron prac-
tically proof against rust for an indefinite
period, rendering future painting unneces-
sary. 1t is important that the iron should
not be made too hot, or kept hot too long
time. lest the tar should be burned OF.

shavings instead of any other means Of
