That body now stands so Republi-

Republican is to be seated by lot,

If the Republicans are successful in
the drawing for the seat, they have

If they lose, the opposition will have

The Philadelphia Press, strong
Republican paper, does not favor the
re election of Mr.. Quay to the Uni
ted States Senate, and in an article
on the subject says; There isn't a
State east of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio that hasn't got
more brains, more character, and
more influence in the senate to-day
than Pennsylvania possesses in the
pair of accomplished exponents of
mediocrity who now represent her
in that body" And it might have
enlarged this statement by including
States South of the Ohio and west of
the Mississippi. This fact is generally
admitted by intelligent Republicans,
yet Senator Quay will probably have
the unanimous support of his party
for re election.

DECEMBER WEATHER.
Hicks Promises Us Cold Christmas
This Year.

lulb ltdTs
Hicks for December says: A cold
opening for December The 4th will
find warmer days touching it with
rain and snow storms. From 9th to
18th is storm period in which many
causes will unite. Full explanation
in Words and Works. Look for heavy
storms of rain, with perhaps winter
laundering, turning to billiards in
the northwest followed by great
cold. About the 10th reaction
will center. The 10th to the 23d is
another storm period we will call
dangerous on sea and land. Be
prepared for gales, ice in the north,
and for general cold wave over
the continent. Christmas promises
to be cold. The 9th will bring
hard reactionary storms which add
fresh rain, snow and ice, and turn
in upon us the parting cold wave fer
1892.

The Siberian Route Contemplated Before
the Success OF tho atlantic Cable.

The siberian Route Contemplated Before
the Success of tho atlantic Cable.
In these days when cables between
America and Europe are in such con-
slant use, says the Electrical Review,
most people have forgotten great en-
terprise for securing telegraphic com
munication with Europe by way of
Dehring strait and Siberia. Cyrus Field
had Just made an attempt to lay an
other cable across the Atlantic with the
Great Eastern, but the cable had
snapped in mid-ocean. Many capital
lists, believing that Fields idea could
never be realized, formed company to
extend a telegraph line from San Fran
cisco up the coast to Behring strait, run
a cable across to Siberia, and then con-
meet with the telegraph systems of the
old world. A large construction fleet
began work at Puget sound, with the
steamship George S. Wright as flagship.
The Fremont, Milton, Badger Pal
metto, Nightingale, Jennie Pitto, Egg
mont and others brought up supplies
from San Francisco. r. r. Haines, the
superintendent of construction, had a
big force of men organized and uni
formed like an army. The line from
San Francisco to New Westminster, in
British Columbia, was owned by the
California State Telegraph Company,
and beyond that it was known as the
Collins Overland and Western Union
Extension. The line followed the east
shore of the sound to New Vest
minister, and some of the original poles
can yet be seen sticking in the mud
The work was carried eight hundred
miles north of Westminster to Skeeua,
when the complete success of the At
lantic cabel suddenly put stop to con-
struction. The army of men was mus
tered out, and the materials that could
be recovered were taken away. Thou
sands of tons of wire and material dis
tributed along the line through the
woods of British Columbia remain
there to this day. Several years after
ward party of woodmen took to Port
Townsend cargo of the wire and Of
fered it for sale, but the creditors of
the company seized it Immediately. The
Seabecl1 mills sawed out thousands of
the poles for the line, which were piled
up on the mill wharf, and lay there I'M
til burned with the mill a few years
ago. The captain of the ship Egmont,
which lay in Esquinalt with a cargo of
submarine cable, got drunk and ran off
with the ships papers. The vessel lay
in the harbor for two years unable to
clear. Her owners finally patched up
Hawaiian papers for her and she sailed
away. George H. Munford, afterward
vice president of the Western Union,
came out in 1872 and wound up the af-
fairs of the company, paying every bill
in full. The American end of the line
was absorbed by the Western Union,
and the extension to Skeena was OPP
Grated for a few years and then aban-
loned.

Transit Extraorr.lnnrH.

A company has recently been formed
in Hamburg for the purpose of putting
into practical working shape a novel
plan for the transportation of passen-
gers and freight in pneumatic tubes.
The lire consists of pneumatic tube
large enough to take car forty inches
in diameter and about six and onc-half
feet long. This car is divided into three
compartments, each of which will ac-
commodate passenger. Each com
partmcnt is to contain an apparatus
filled with compressed air, SO that pas
sengers can have an ample supply of
pure air as long as they remain boxed
up. The car is to be shot through the
tube at high rate of speed, but with a
gentle sliding motion. One of the for
cign papers, in referring to this rail
road, remarks: Travellers will be al
lowed limited amount of baggage, but
smoking will be strictly prohibited"
An experimental line is to be built on
this principle between Hamburg and
Buchen, distance of about fifteen
miles, which the cars are expected to
traverse in eleven minutes.

EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN.
Sir Edwin Arnold Says the Little Onef
Are Not Needed.

Are Not Needed.
Il was astonished," Sir Edwin Ar
mold said to Pittsburgh Dispatch re.
porter, "by the news of such terrible
earthquake in Osaka and Nagoya.
Never, if memory serves me, has an
earthquake visited that region before.
The usual scene of seismic disturbances
is in and around Toxic and islands near
the capital are pointed out as their
foci. Near there is also the great VOL
cano of Fugisan. Thirty years ago
twenty thousand persons are said to
have persisted by earthquake and food,
but this recent loss is evidently greater.
Osaka and Nagoya are busy, populous-
cities.
ssNagoya is about two hundred and
fifty miles from Toxic and on the south
coast A railway runs between it and
Toxic. The country abounds in hills,
many of them volcanic, and no doubt
fires underEe the ground. 1t was here
that last year the Japanese troops ex-
ecuted their military maneuvers under,
the eye of the emperor. 1t is large
city of wide, well-planned streets and u
thousand. The principal occupation of
it's inhabitants has been the production
of silk and cotton wove goods, and it is.
very famous for its porcelain. Osaka is
a very rich and prosperous manufac-
turing city on the border of a river that
leads to the sea- 1t is not SO much
damaged, imagine, as Nagoya.
1.-THE great danger in earthquakes is
due rather to fire than to any commo-
ton. The houses are usually only one
story high and are of thin woodwork
and paper. A bad earthquake easily
shakes down these fragile houses, and.
as every one contains a fire-box and q
petroleum lamp, general bonfire is
the result. Light earthquakes are so
common in Japan they attract little
notice. They begin with a little COM
motion, twice or three times repeated.
The vibration increases and a roar fol-
lows. When you begin to wonder what
is about to happen it ceases and all is
quiet. To guard against these frequent
shakings the Japanese have invented
an ingenious contrivance:-
'In my house at Azova the column of
cherry which supports the roof was
pivoted under the floor to stone like
cup, so that the earthquake did not
cause it to tumble down but only made
it oscillate- An earthquake door has
also, been invented which is fastened to
a strong, massive joint, which slips
along the Beams. Thus the danger of,
being struck down in the doorway is
removed, but the danger arises chiefly
rom the ignition of the ruins, as Ihave
described. The consequent floods, too,
ire very destructive. The earth is lifted
Up by the shock and huge wave swells
n from the sea upon the city on its bol-.
ler."

| Wealthy Austri;,ns Form an Association
for the Marriage of Poor Girls.
| In these days of mercenary mar
riages, when the lords of creation, even
rore than the weaker sex, are usually
anxious to make good match, not
from the point of view of sweetness of
disposition or beauty, wnlcn are apt
to weigh very light in the scales of

with money, it is more than refreshing,
it is idyllic- read the account of a
club lately started in Austria. The
chivalrous feelings of the members of
the Mariahilf Matrimonial club raise
them so far above the majority of their
sex that it is difficult to believe in the
actual existence of the club, about
which, however, believe. there is no
doubt, says a London letter from
woman to the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The members of the club are alb rich
men, and each has pledged himself to
marry a poor girl. For the sake of
these noble beings, animated with such
unselfish desires, can only hope that
the secret of membership is devoutly
kept. 1 an very unwilling to disparage
nay own sex, yet we often hear of, and

fear for the peace of mind of these
undetermined men. Their riches alone
would be strong bait to the penniless
maids and their scheming mothers;
while if the fact of their vow was
known 1 should imagine the candidate
would be very fierce. In case, how
ever, the members find the attentions
of portionless. girls and widows too
ovcrpowering, they have provided
themselves with loopholes of escape;
for should the damsel of their choice be
blessed with an abundance of this

oaths. on payment of four hundred
pounds sterling. A further feature, of
the club is to provide deserving but i'm
pecunious couples; who, after long on
gagements, have still no prospect of set

course, the forfeitures are devoted to
this purpose, and thus two pairs of low
ing hearts are made happy. am real

sex in Austria are superior set of NOR

The flask OF musk held hidden in the hand
Is soon to sense revealed;
The hearts true nature can at no command
OF ours be long concealed.
For whatsoever one is within his heart
Will he be everywhere;
No grace can mere environment impart,
No excellence impair.
The diamond in the mud doth still retain
Its own intrinsic worth;
The dust the winds lift heavenward all in vain
AS dust 1t falls to earth.
The good man, like the pillared palm, that
grows
Unheeding every weight
Bound on its top, and every blast that blows,
Forever strong and straight
Grows on, though every adverse circumstance
Against his soul may press,
With steady, strong, symmetrical advance,
In regal righteousness.
