DANIEL LoTHRoP, the Boston publish CT who recently died, occupied the his toric old house at Concord, Mass, which was once the home of Nathaniel Flaw thorne. It was here, in the tower which the great romancer himself added to his house, that Hawthorne established his study. It is a common saying that, longing for seclusion, he built this tower room, the only entrance to which is through trap-door. Climbing to this eyric, Hawthorne would close the txap- door and place his chair upon it; then he was sure of immunity from inter ruption. It is said that Mrs. Lothrop (Margaret Sidney) makes use of this same tower room in which to write her stories, but whether she carries out the trap-door and chair plan, rrmor does not state.

THE democratic leaders are beginning to realize that the persistent absentee ism of a large number of democratic members of the house is jeopardizing the party's control of the next house. It is all very well to blame the republi- cans for refusing to vote to make a quorum so that the house can transact it's businesssbut the voters will not for get that if every democratic member was in his seat the party could cast sixty-seven votes more than a quorum of the house, and could transact busi- ness without the votes of single re- publican, if they did not choose to vote. It is simply folly to expect that the republicans will neglect any opportu- nity to bring to the attention of the country the lack of a quorum, and in declining to vote they are but following the example set them by the democrats in the last congress.

T. V. PowDERLY, speaking of the Reading railway deal, says nothing has happened in this country for many years that comes home so directly to the people. Nothing has hap pened of so much importance to New York city. In New York most of the people buy their coal by the bucket full. They pay for it that way at the rate of about $10 ton. The effect of a very slight advance in the wholesale, comes straight with increased force, to the man with the bucket. It has not reached him yet because now he is not buying great deal of coal, but he will feel it in the fall. An increase of twenty-five cents ton in the wholesale price of coal does not seem a great deal, but when It gets to the man with the bucket it is equal to an increase of ninety cents ton. Of course no intelli- gent man doubts that the price is to go up. If it was not there would be no reason for forming the combination. This is serious matter for the poor.
