A short time before the district in Mississippi from which Mr. Catchings goes to congress was to make it's norni- nation it dawned upon that gentleman that the district was going to be repre- sented in the next congress by a man who would vote and work for free coin age. MT. Catchings is a gold standard man, but he wanted to remain in con- gress, so he wrote a letter stating that he would vote and work for free coinage II the convention in his district so in- structed him. Recently Congressman John Allen, also of Mississippi, was pressed to answer whether or not he would stand for reelection from his dis trict. Mr. Allen promptly informed his constituents that he would not be can didate in case the national convention declared for the gold standard. That he did not want to accept a nomination on platform which pledged him to the sup port of a principle he believed to be wrong. Thus we have fair sample Of the two men. One ready and willing to sup port and vote for principle which he says he believes to be wrong in order to go to congress. The other preferring to retire to private life rather than do vio- lence to his honest convictions

Says the Selma Times:

From an appeal, signed by H. c. Ker- neaga, MT Aldrch's colored generalissi- mo of the colored forces in Dallas, to the negroes to register, we copy the follow ing:
 Tt will, according to the order of the late republican convention held at Ca leFa, March 4, 1886, become your duty to cast your ballot at the federal election next November for the Moses of the black belt-Hon. w. F. Aldrich, the nomi- nee, who has been so ably champloned in his struggle to capture the Fourth dis trict by its Aaron-Hon. George H. Craig
 And while the modern Moses Is away upon the latter day Mount Sinai-Wash- ington city-his Aaron is busily engaged in manufacturing the golden calf of ex- pectations in the breasts of his deluded followers. No doubt when Moses turns his attention southward and sees how things are being messed up, he will not only break the tablets, but put a few more bandages around his barr and give 'em piece of his mind in Moses like language"

A. T. Goodwin has resigned from con- gress so as to make the race for govern or.-Wilcox Progress
 Not by good deal. Captain Goodwin lacks that confidence in the success of his effort to become governor necessary to induce him to turn loose the place he has; besides there is a small salary of something like $45O per month attached to the Washington pap. o, no; when you hear of a republican resigning a seat in congress to take his chances of being elected to the high office of gov ernor of Alabama you may know the end of time is at hand or somebody wants to be governor of Alabama who is likely to land in the lunatic asylum. Goodwin tries to get offices, but he is slow to turn them loose. He did not resign as state senator until he became aware that the place was made vacant by reason of his being seated in congress.

The following dog story told by Chaun- cey NJ. Depew is very applicable to the Alabama populists who disclalm joining the republican party. Every day 1t de- velopS as the pelting rains from the dem ocratic press of the state falls upon them that they are out in the weather without an umbrella, and by the first Monday in August there will not be populist spot left on them: When I was about 14 years old said the raconteur, my fla ther lived on the old farm up in Pough- keepsie. When in town I saw for the first time a spotted coach dog. I bought 1t and took it home. When father saw it his good old Puritan face fell. Why, Chauncey,' he said sadly, we don't want any spotted dog on the farm. It would drive the cattle crazy No, he won't, father I said, he's blooded dog The next day 1t was raining and took the dog out in the woods to try him on coon, but the rain was too much for him.
 It washed the spots off That night I took the dog back to the dog dealer with a long face. Said I: Look at that dog, sir. The spots have all washed off. , Great guns. boy. exclaimed the dog dealer, there was an umbrella went with that dog. Didn't you get an umbrella?' |"

To make it so high that after raising

The Flowers of the Tree.

II mas come about that the lowly
plants. unable to secure their ends by
fair words, have had recourse to guile
TO tempt the insects by velvety tex
lures Of rich color widely spread, by ex-
haliny sweet and powerful Olors, by Of
ferins nectar and finally by devisipy
artful appliances whereby an insect can
be loaded with pollen without his knowl-
eugc ut the time he is imbibing the Sc
ductive nectar. Some have gone q step
lower, and because they could not afford
to produce so brilliant display as 9TH
er plants have set to work to press the
vulgar carrion loving flies into their
service by developing petals Of liyid
purple hue and giving forth putrid
odor. Faugh! Shall hearts of oak and
beech and ash stcop to such tricks:
The forest tree has hundred CT q
thousand years to live and exhibits nc
precocious anxiety to produce fruit. AT
10, 20 or 80 years is time enough to
think Of such things. aud when the
time comes the delicate essential organs
are protected merely by few simple
green or yellow scales or by none at all.
The pollen is lavishly produced. for tho
wind is not so precise vehicle of trans
mission as the insect. and but very
small percentage of the pollen grains
will reach their destination. This, how
ever. is Of little consequence. for an in.
cipient seed needs but one pollen grain
to fertilizc il, and should 100 fall upon
it. 90 would Be sapcrfiuous Good

Three is ample evidence to prove that
the rational heating Of buildings was q
we'll understood art several thousand
years ago. In the palmy days of Pom
peii's early existence, before its burial
under volcanic ashes, the old Roman
baths in that town were heated BY
steam, and in better and far more sci
entific manner than is followed at the
present time. The walls of the build.
ings were double, and the steam, at at.
mospheric pressure, no doubt, was car.
ried up through these walls all around
the rooms to be warmed, bringing them
to temperature approximating that Of
the steam, and the occupants Of the
room were thus exposed to radiation
OF warmth from all directions. In this
we have the true theory Of heating.
Following in a measure this early sys-
TEN, some one in Germany, according
TO recent account. proposes TO build q
house of which the framework is to be
made up Of water tubing. through
which warm water is to be circulated
in winter and cold water in summer,
warming or cooling the inclosed spaces
as may be prompted by requirements.
All the floors and ceilings and walls are
to be- crossed and recrossed by water
pipes, affording heating and cooling
snrfacc exactly where theory tells us il
shonld b. to give the most desirable re.
suits. The building of that house would
certainly afford an excellent modern
practical demonstration of the value OF
these ideal principles. -Cassier' Maya.
