LEGISLAII We JUNKEIING.

It has become exceedingly fashion

tive action. Such committees are gen.
orally composed of men who are fond oil
pleasure and entertainment, and oil
travelling and eating at public expense.
They are rarely composed of grave and
reverend seignors. Their Investigations
are generally cursory and superficial.
and when completed the members
cept that they have been there and
have had good time. They only see
the officer in charge when they visit
an institution, talk and have dinner
with him, and 60 back to the capital
and report that everything Is all right,
and especially that an increased appro-
priation lie necessary.
These Investigations are not only gen.
orally useless and expensive, but they
are made for purpose. 1t sounds large
that legislative committee is in
vestigating the penitentiary or
other public institutions. This
fact it Is presumed will be
very agreeable to the people, as
they will believe their interests are be-
ing faithfully looked after and guarded.
Effective investigation cannot be made
in an hour or day, and mem bers OF the
legislature well know it. The officers of
the institutions to be Investigated rather
like it, for they are pretty sure to be
vindiasted If under charges, and to be
praised if they feed well.
Ii Investigations are to be made by
legislative committees they had better
be in vacation, when there is sufficient
time to make them thoroughly. but in
this state such investigations are im>
practicable except by the hold.ovsr ssn-
ators. The members Of the assembly

and when the aession closes their pow

Not a little guesswork has been gone through
by many as to the probable quantities OF coal
which are daily shoveled into the furnace
mouths of such big Atlantic liners rs the
steamers Paris. New York. Campania, and Luz
cania. Ten years ago 100 tons day was con-
sidered most prodigious consumption, little
likely to be exceeded in the ears to come, and
wondering comment there was in plenty that
so vast a quantity should find alegitimate out
let Since then, however, the public mind has
been educated up to higher figures. and state
ments of 200 and even 300 tons day have
ceased to attract more than passing notice.
Three hundred and fifty tons, in fact are said to
be burned on the Paris and the New York in
every twenty-four hours. but of the Lucania
and Campania no particulars have ever been
given, so that an approximation based on what
is known OF the power equipment OF these ships
is all that can be offered. Twenty-eght tnou-
sand horse power has been assumed tobe the
amount that each OF these vessels requires to
propel them at the great speeds which they

engines must be the Improbable figure repre-
sented by the host OF auxiliary engines and
pumps which are necessary adjuncts. and
which, with the steam heating systems and hot
water apparatus, help to swell the steam con-
sumption to such degree that total allow
ance of, say 16 pounds OF steam per hour Tor
each OF the %. 900 horse power may be taken
as quite within the mark. Allowing them, to
boiler performance of eight pounds OF steam
per pound of coal, which cannot be lat wrong,
we have Il coal consumption of two pounds per
hour for each horse power or ST 900 pounds,
equivalent to 600 tons per day. This is pretty
plain figuring, though, of course, partly specu-
lative, and while the outcome may seem exag-

The Low-Back-d Car.
When first saw sweet Peggy,
Twas on market day;
A low. backed car she drove, and sat
Upon truss of hay;
But when that hay was blooming grass,
And decked with flowers OF spring,
No flower was there that could compare
With the blooming girl sing.
AS she sat on the low-backed car,
The man at the turnpike bar
Never asked for the toll
But just rubbed his ovid poll,
And looked after the low backed car.
In battles wild commotion,
The proud and mighty Mars
With hostile scvthes demands his tithes
OF death in warlike cars;
While Peggy, peaceful goddess,
Has darts in her bright eye
That knocked men down in the market town
AS right and left they hy
While she sits in her low-backed car,
Than battle more dangerous far:
For the doc or'ssrt
Cannot cure the heart,
That is hit from the low-backed car
Sweet Peggy round her car sir,
Has strings of ducks and geese,
But the scores of hearts she slaughters
BY far outnumber these;
While she among her poultry SITS
Just like a turtle dove.
Well worth the cage do engage.
OF the blooming OF God of Love.
While she sits in her low backed car,
The lovers come near and far:
And envy the chicken
That Peggy is pickin',
AS she sits in her low-backed car.
Oh, I'd rather own that car, sir.
With Peggy by my side,
Than coach and four, and gold galore,
And lady for my bride;
For lady would sit forninst me.
on cushion made with taste.
While Peggy would sit beside me.
With my arm around her waist
While we drove in the low ba cked car,
To be married by Father Mahar;
Oh my heart would beat high
At her glance and her sigh
Though it beat in a low-backed car.
