THE DUTY ON LEAD ORE.
The Senate Fixes the Rate at I I-a Cents -r Per Pound.

 Per Pound. Washington. June 30.-After tedious consideration of the tariff bin the sen- ate wound up with a half hour Of live ly and amusing colloauy between Sem ators Tillman of South Carolina and Chandler of New Hampshire
 The former had proposed an amend ment to the tariff bill providing . si00 head tax on immigrants, and n restric- ton against all those not coming to the United States to become citizens.
 MT Tlllman made an earnest speech on the depressed condition Of labor, but he was soon diverted from his theme by MT. Chandler. The latter, adopting n style of mock gravity, directed the dis- cussion toward Mir. Cleveland's admin istration,
 This in turn brought from MT. Tili- man vehement criticism of the late president, while MT. Chandler drolly protested against these assaults on Mir. Cleveland by member of his own party.
 When the fun had been fast and fu- rious for some time, the Tillman amend ments were defeated-yeas, ,; nays, s. The three affirmative votes were cast by Messrs. Butler, Quay and Tillman.
 During the day the senate disposed of the lead paragraphs. the committee rate of 1h cents per pound on lead ore bee ing agreed to-yeas 30; nays, g. The other paragraphs considered were of comparatively minor importance.

BENJAMIN FRANkLIN's WORKS.

Some of the Things Which the Great
American Philosopher Did.
Lord Jeffrey wrote of the American
inventor and philosopher: He never
lost sight of common sense" Philip
G. Hubert, Jr. in a sketch of Franklin
in his recent book, Inventors" says:
Nothing in nature failed to interest
him." and catalogue of his achieve
ments, showing his activity and re-
source, is conclusive proof of the truth
of both statements.
Franklin inspired and established
the Junto, the pleasantest and most
knowledge
He founded the Philadelphia library,
parent of 1000 libraries, which marked
the beginning of an intellectual move
ment of endless good to the whole coun-
try.
He first turned to great account the
engine of advertising, Indispensable in
all modern business.
He published Poor Richard" a rec
ord of homely wisdom, in such shape
that hundreds of thousands of readers
were made better and stronger by it.
lie created the post office system of
America and was the first champion of
reformed spelling.
He invented the Franklin stove,
which economical fuel, and he sug-
gested valuabl improvements in venti-
lation and the building of chimneys.
He robbed thunder of its terrors and
lightning of some of it's power to de-
stroy.
He founded the American Philosoph-
ical society, the first organization in
America of the friends of science.
He suggested the use of mineral ma
nures, introduced the basket willow,
promoted the early culture of silk and
pointed out the advantages of white
clothing in summer.
He measured the temperature of the
gulf stream and discovered that north
east storms may begin in the south
west.
He pointed out the advantage of build
ing ships in water-tight compartments is,
taking the hint from the Chinese, and
first urged the use of Oil as a meaus
of quieting dangerous seas.
Besides these great achievements, &C
complished largely recreation from
his life work as economist and states
man, Benjamin Franklin helped the
whole race of inventors by a remark
that has been of incalculabie value and
comfort to theorists and dreamers the
world over. When some one spoke con-
temptuously of Montgolfier's balloon
experiments and asked of what use
they were, the great American replied,
IN words now historic: "Of what use
is newborn ba be?''-Chicago News.
