THE BACKLOG FIRE.

I'm in for progress and all that
Nor with scientist would spat
Unless he should arouse my ire
By sneezing at the backlog fire.
None ever priced improvements moro
Than do-when they save "chore"--
But let none Of 'em dare aspire
To get beyond backlog fire.
The hotel "lift" and pyroscaph.
The engine and the telegraph
These works praise Of steam and wire,
But also. please, the backlog fire.
The phonograph and autophone-
All Edison's electric zone
Are welcome IL they don't conspire
Against the rare old backlog fire.
Your patent heaters, low down CRATES
And oil stoves make not rueful mates
But when tune my golden Tyre
I'll sing about the backlog fire.
Fashions votaries flutter roun.
The register when teas" abound,
They favor not the neck attire
That best belts q backlog fire.
Ices and bonbons, fancy fruit
And dainty cigarettes to boot
Are apt to wear an aspect dire
II served beside backlog fire.
But II q tale you like to hear,
Crack nuts, eat apples, make good cheer,
Then have the crown of all desire
A blazing, roaring backlog FIRE.

Ex-Judge Thomas M. Cooley, the well
known authority on constitutional law,
has written letter suggesting the course
of action which should be pursued in
the Senate at the present time. He says
that when minority of the members
show by their conduct, and even boast
ingly declare that they propose to OBJ
struct the action of the Senate, then the
Senate is no more bound to submit to
their disorderly proceedings than it
would be to interruption from persons
not members who should in any way at
tempt to prevent regular and legal legis-
lation. Judge Cooley then specifies what
the Senate should do:-Mem bers of the
majority should make the proper motion
looking to definite and final action on
the pending measure, and the presiding
officer should recognize them; since only
in that way can the inalienable right of
the Senate to express its will be exer-

1t will not be long, apparently, before
Londoners will be able to enjoy the great
tower at Wembly Park, near Harrow,
which is to put the Eiffei structure COM
pletely in the shade. The site of the new
enterprise is all that could be desired. IL
is well wooded and undulating area OF
1870 acres with sheet of water of about
eight acres. Besides the great central
attraction of the tower, it affords an
excellent cricket and football ground
and one of the best running tracks any
where near London. Refreshment rooms,
dressing and bath rooms, and ample shell
ter in case of sudden showers have al
ready been provided alta cost of 20, GOO
pounds. The tower itself enjoys the adj
vantage of an elevated position-165 feet
above sea level. The foundation will be
of iron with supports firmly embedded
in concrete sunk Is feet below the ground
The base will extend over an area 300
feet square, or $4,000 square feet; and
the first platform will be 200 yards
square. The higher levels will be pro-
portionately smaller until the highest
point is reached, which will be !, $50 feet,
f75 feet higher than the Effel Tower, or
about 1900 feet above the sea. It will
thus overtop the hi CHEST points for many
miles in every direction. The tower
will be of steel, and will weigh about =
500 tons. The total cost of the enterprise
is estimated at between 100000 and 20O,-
600 pounds.

ISAAC lei. MAYNARD.

The campaign in New York State this
Court of Appeals, one of the most ex-
allied benches of judicature in the nation.
These judges are elected by popular vote,
not appointed, as is the case with the
judges of the Supreme Court of our own
State. The Democratic party has nomi-
mated as its candidate Isaac n Maynard,
and around this nomination is sweeping
@ storm of criticism which is attracting
attention the country over. The cause
of this criticism makes an interesting
story, which would hardly be credited
by readers of the Press were it not that
they have already seen in this city the
extent to which party will at times
carry its intention Of reversing the result
OF an election. Maynards performance
was more gigantic attempt than that
of Warden Harper in Ward One; and it
was as unblushing. When the polls
were closed after the New York State
election of 1891 it was found that seven
teen Republican State senators had been
elected, also one independent Republican
and fourteen Democrats. The Demo-
cratic party were desperately in need of
a majority in the Senate, as desperately
in need of it as were the Democracy of this
town in need Of the extra votes counted
in by Harper. They resolved to steal
enough seats in the Senate to reverse the
popular verdict. The agent of this steal
was Isaac Fl. Maynard, then Deputy At
torney General, now candidate for q
place on the bench of the Court of APP
pealH. One of the seats stolen was that

Senator Stewart and the Blind Beggar.

Senator Stewart and the Blind Beggar.
A tall, snowy bearded man, with
wide brimmed soft hat and the gen
eral air of westerner, was walking
along Fourteenth street, near Union
square. He noticed blind beggar's
appeal for aid. The appeal was prom
inently displayed on a card hang
ing ON the beggar's breast 1t stated
that the appellant had lost his sight
through mine explosion in the west
many years ago.
The white bearded man stopped
and addressed remark to the blind
beggar, whose face frightened at the
first words and broke into smile
when the gentleman shook hands
with him. Dropping a coin in the
tin cup that clanked like sheep bell
at the liberal donation, the venerable
pedestrian pursued his path.
That's Senator Stewart Of Ne
vada," whispered one observer to an
other, "and tho blind beggar once
worked in the same mine with him.
Two summers ago they met in the
same way in this neighborhood. The
senator gave generous aims, and the
blind beggar was cheered by the kind
words that accompanied the gift. -

A TOatl's Cunning,

A scientific journal tells this story
of a toads cunning: A brood of
chickens was fed with moistened
meal in saucers, AMI when the dough
soured little it attracted large num-
bers of flies. An observant toad had
evidently noticed this, and every day
toward evening he would make his
appearance in the yard, hop to
saucer climb in and roll over until
he was covered with meal having
done which he awaited develop
ments. The flies, enticed by the
smell, soon swarmed around the
scheming batrachian, and whenever
one passed within two inches or 80 Of
his nose his tongue darted out and
the fly disappeared. The plan worked
SO well that the toad made regular
business of it.

out with the intention of securing the
signatures thereto of all the democrats
IN the House, but the bad taste Of the
scheme Was so apparent that the leaders
of his party soon put a stop to 1t and
convinced Mr.. Harter after more or less
argument that it would be highly i'm
proper for the members of either branch
of Congress to send a petition to che
other asking action either for or against
any measure.
The debate of the House on the Chi.
nese question, which ended this after
noon by the passing of the McCreary
bill providing for an extension of the
time within which Chinese may register
in accordance with the Geary law and
and otherwise modifying the provisions
of that law, was not participated tn by
many members, but it was at times
very earnest. The California members
oppose the bill and served notice on
both the democratic and republican
parties that the bill would if enacted
into law wipe out those parties IN
that state, which would henceforth be
controlled by the populists. The pop.
ullsts naturally smiled at these state
ments as they were certain, like every
body else, that the McCreary bill Was
bound to be law, and they would of
course be pleased to get coutrol of Gal.
