PLEA FOR LUMBER.

The session of the Ways and Means Com
inittee yesterday lasted until late in the
afternoon, and then adjourned for New
Years. The wood interests occupied the
attention of the committee for almost the
entire day.
Mr.. T. B. Walker. of Minnen polls, was
one of the last of the lumber representa-
tives to be heard. He presented an ex
tensive outline of the changes in the tariff
wanted by his tradesmen, and spoke, in
part, as follows:
THE lumber trade employs larger
number of men, pays them larger ag-
gregate amount of wages, and the product
is of greater value than the iron and steel
industry, which is the next larger of The
manufacturing interests.

those who seek the martyrdom OF office,
the mandarin bethought himself of one i'm

the sembiance of lonesomeness. Justabout
to fall asleep upon his broidered pillow,
His Excellency remarked in drowsiest

can find TO endure the dangers and de-
privations of a consulate general i'll that

a coign of vantage on the back Chinese
wall, singing his nightly song OF love ana

musical notes 'BeriahI Ber-i-ahi Ber-
i-a-a-a-hI' ''All right, all right" said the
mandarin, as he feIl asleep; IF you think
so, IarllTa, lU goes L rathcf Thought that
his error in that guessing contest last
November rendered him ineligible. but he
is from the proper province, anyway, and
the difference is infimtesimal. Write him

merely goes to show that the mandarin
has the good OF his province always in
mind; and although it must he said that
explanations at breakfast prevented the

bering with kindness the member OF the
viccroyaI Entourage who remembered him,
nor from supporting the next, or any, all

place wherein much interest just now

town not entirely dissociated from the
Chinese wall, which IS high protection TO

this peaceful village there cwells a worthy
mandarin, elect by the viii and barrel of
his sovereign to honors almost imperial.
With him resides his thrice worthy dame

To this coparcener of his joys, ambitions
