If ex-Speaker Reed should con-
clude to sit as member of the Pif-
ty-second Congress, he will occupy
an unenviable position in that body.
His revolutionary methods as speak
er in the last Congress, has raised
him, like Milton's prince of devils,
to "bad eminence" where he will
be target for oratoricaI sharp
shooters in the next House. Con-
gresham Compton, at a Democrat
ic mass meeting in Maryland, few
days ago, in reference to Reeds
Force bill, alluded to it as being
crushed through the House by that
tyrant who, if God lets me live and
l retain my seat in the House of
Representatives, / intend to tell on
the floor of the House, face to face,
teeth to teeth, just what think of
him. 1 mean Tom Reed" No one
will be surprised to know that
Reed wants to resign.

There was great excitement at
at noon Saturday out at the Camden
works over the close call of one of
the workmen.
w. G. Wright, one of the machin.
lists at the works, had a terrible ex.
perience. While eating his dinner
he choked on piece of beefstake 50
badly that it was thought his time
had come. His face became black
and his eyes nearly burst out of his
head. His fellow workmen did
everything they could think of to
relieve him. They jumped him mp
and down, they pounded him on the
back, they rolled him over, they
pushed a rubber tube down his
throat, but they could do nothing
for him. Superintendent Skinner
drove down town in a great hurry
for a doctor. Meanwhile Wright in
desperation seized an instrument
like an awl with hook on the end
of it, rammed it down his throat and
jerked out the piece of meat, thus
saving his life.
His suffering was terrible and
and great excitement was created.
Mr.. Wright was at work to-day not
much the worse for his fearful ex-
perience.-iState Journal.

while repelling an attack on the Jail by
the troops fired upon them with deadly
effect, the soldiers answering with a

the prisoner out and lynch him, swore
in IA number of citizens as special

were exchanged, and several Of

Nearly every body remembers the ar
rival of Mr.. Blaine in the fall of 1858.
The distinguished secretary of state,
with nearly all his family. brought in
only thirty-four trunks, and that was
considered by the customs department
as almost the biggest personal baggage
mp to date. But Nine. Bernhard comes
in with one hundred and seven trunks,
two or three dogs and her astounding
personality. She is way ahead.
