and Col Charles T. O'Ferrau of Virginia
the additional democratic member. Col.
O'Ferrall was elected governor of Nir-
ginia. and Col. Fellows district attorney
of New York county. Their designations
and the death of Mr.. ONeil efraced the
committee from the House list, something
unprecedented in the annals of Congress
Both Holman and o. NeilI Were handsome
young men when they first appeared upon
the floor. The beginning OF Judge Hol-
man s career in the House was marked
by the long struggle over the speakership,
ending in the election of William Penning-
ton of New Jersey. On December l9
1859, just after the eleventh ballot for
Speaker. the Judge obtained the floor. After
the withdrawal of Thomas J. Bocock as a
candidate, he was about TO make a speech
when Mr.. Winslow suggested that another
ballot be taken. He asked Mr.. Holman TO
give way to enable him to move that the
House proceed to another ballot.
With that understanding L will yield
the floor to the gentleman from North
Carolina" replied Mr.. Holman
They We're the first words he had uttered
in the hall of the House The twelfth bal
lot was taken and Winslow and others
urged another. The judge was so modest
that he did not put in his claim to be heard.
On the next day, however, he made his
first speech. 1t fills two pages and a half
of the Globe. Ii was upon the motion to

the slavery issue. and wound up with a
glowing tribute to Indiana. 1t contained
very few facts adorned with western eIo-

The present House of Represents. lives has
many new members. A majority of them
are young men. Some will probably serve
nearly if not as long as the veterans named
above. They have had an opportunity upon
their entrance to Congress not offered to
Holman, ONeill, Randall and Kelley. 1t
came when the silver debate and the dis
cussion over the federal election hill were
precipitated upon the House Most of them
awaited themselves of the opportunity The
debates ELECTED the fact that there are men
among them who ought to be kept in Con-
gress and if kept there, will be productive
of much benefit to the country. Foremost
among these young men is Joseph W. Bailey
of Gainesville, Texas. TAN. handsome stu
dious demonstrative and gifted With a re-
markable flow of language. he already COM
mands close attention when taking the floor
Mr.. Bailey served throughout the Fifty
second Congress. His experience there has
greatly benefited him. He has learned
when to oppose bill and when to advocat
one. In the last Congress he might have
been termed an individual filibuster; in this
are no longer wasted in prolongtng indl yidu-
his efforts that the Torrey bankruptcy bill
was defeated. Whether its defeat is an in
jury or a blessing to the country matters
not. He led the opposition, and led 1t in a
mastery manner. His closing speech was
a marvel OF argument, logic and eloquence.
1t charmed the House and the orator was
universally congratulated.

EXPERIMENT. IN FLYING.
A Germans Success I'm Sliding Down
Aerial slopes.

From the New York Tribune.
A birds wings. while 1t is flying, per-
form two functions: They sustain its
weight and they propel it. Human beings,
in trying to initiate the bird, have been
more successful in the former direction
than in the latter. Such manipulatons of
wings as will drive person forward, either
by muscle power from apparatus strap
ped to the body, may be learned eventually;
or the future DaedaluS may rely upon some
entirely separate device for propulsion and
retain the wings merely for support and
balancing. In either case, all attempts to
find cut what really be accomplished
with these latter appliances possess inter
est for scientists and the public.
Herr q. Lilienthal of Steglitz near Ber-
linz. Germany, has been experimenting I'm
this direction with contrivances that re-
sembls great wings. In the brief descrip-
ton at hand no information is impaired
concerning the materials employed. But
the wings had expanse of fifteen
square meters, or 16J square feet. Herr
Lilienthafs plan was to find broad
roof, hilltop or other convenient
elevation, run few steps against the wind
and then leap into the air. Horizontal i'm
petus was thus acquired before he left
terra tirma. He was then able to slide
downward at an angle of only ten or fif-
teen degrees from a horizontal, although
it was in his power, by shifting the center
of gravity relatively to the center of exist
ence to change the il clination of the wings
and descend more rapidly. No mention is
made of his success in steering himself lat
orally. As the greater part of his weight
was suspended below the wings. of course
he kept right side up without difficulty. To
lessen the atmospheric resistance. how
ever. he drew his legs up somewhat.
While he was about it, one could wish
that Herr Liicnthal had made a kite of
himself. and tried to see how long the wind
would sustain him at one end of a long
light wire, the other end of which was in
the hands of three or four stout men, or
anchor ed securely

The men at the quarantine sta

is to be apprehended of the dis
ease spreading, as too strict guard
