POLITICAL NOTES.

The Philadelphia Ledger which is
fast becoming just as unreliable, as
it formerly was reliable, says that
the Monroe Republican leaders are
so angry with the outcome of the re-
cent Congressional conference that
they will not support Judge Kirk
patrick in his candidacy for Con-
gress with anything like unanimity.
AS in a good many things political
lately the Ledger is wrong. The
Monroe Republican leaders from DR..
Walton down are heart and soul for
Judge Kirkpatrick. They are too
good Republicags to sulk in the tent
or to allow an opportunity to defeat
Democracy to go by unchallenged.
Monroe Republicans are for Kirk
patrick first, last and all the time

Aluminium is rapidly growing in
favor as being useful for many pur-
poses, and much lighter than other
metals. Many handsome and use
full articles from a horse shoe to
milk punch shakers are made of it..
One of the latest is an electric Ian
tern for bicycles, which contains a
reflector, small cells for the battery
which will keep the light burning
for seven hours at cost of about
two cents. Aluminium shells are al
so made for mandolins, banjos and
guitars, which are said to be super
ior to wooden. Saddle frames for
bicycles, and spun and engrossed
shades for electric lights and gas
jets, tea strainers, pepper and salt
shakers, button hooks, match boxes,
picture and mirror frames and
among other thing rod rest for lazy
fishermen.
The word thrums used by Mr..
Barrie in his novels comes from the
punches of linen thread tied in webs.
The old people who used to spin
linen thread would wind it on a reel,
which after making certain num-
ber of revolutions would click, a
string was then placed around the
threads, a knot made in it and the
turning repeated. Every knot held
thrum.

Literary Mons De plume.

Sir Walter Scott's little known
"Tales of My Landlord was pub
lished under the curious nom de
plume, Jedediah Cleishbotham. "
Henry w. Longfellow once used a
pen name. 1t was prefixed to his
History of Newbury, and he
chose " Joshua Coffin ), for the pur-
pose.
j. Fenimore Cooper began to
write under the pen name Of "a
Travelling Bachelor. " His travels
and social condition probably in
spired the selection.
John Ruskin published his early
writings under the pen name,
Graduate of Oxford, F" the selection
being obviously influenced by his
place of education.
Josh Billings - was as well
known by his assumed name as Eli
Perkins by his, and generally pass
ed by no other.
Eli Perkins is hardly known
to the world by any other name.
Even when introduced in society it
was as Eli Perkins and not as M. d.
LandOn, his real name.
Oliver Goldsmith published his
Citizen of the World under the
name of a "Chinese Philosopher. "
Much to his annoyance, the pen
name struck the fancy of the humor-
lists of his acquaintance, and for a
time he was called nothing else. On
one occasion a visitor to the club of
which he was a habitue inquired of
gentleman in Goldsmith hearing
if the Goldsmith he had read so
much about was really a Chinanan.
