Valuable Woods.

Many valuable woods that are little
known exist in places remote from the
centers of consumption. About 400 mer-
chantable kinds exist In the Philip
pines, and the bureau of forestry at
Manila has arranged to distribute small
samples at a price just sufficient to
cover the cost. The famous hard woods
of Australia include the yate. the
strongest OF all known timbers. The
tree reaches maximum height of 100
feet and is sometimes two and one
half or even three feet in diameter
The average tensile strength of the
wood is $4,000 pounds to the square
inch, equal to that of good cast iron.
and the strength of some specimens
reaches $4,000 pounds. about that of
wrought iron. The tensile strength
of white oak is 10000 to $4,000 pounds;
that of ash, 1000 to 21.000 pounds :

How William orton Got Appointment
For Tim campbell's Father and
How Roscoe conklIng Upheld
the Action.

In the informal political history OF
the country the late Timothy D.
Campbell, state senator and congress
man from New York's East Side,
gained fame when he naively asked
President Cleveland, What's the Con-
stitution between friends?" In the
realm Of telegraphy the late William
Orton has a niche as one of the great
presidents of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. Long after his other
deeds have been forgotten Roscoe
Conkling will be remembered as the
man whose hatred Of James G. Blaine
caused the "Plumed Knight" to be
defeated for the presidency by Grover
Cleveland.
"At the time when Tim Campbell
was chairman OF the committee on
civics at Albany" said Mr.. Orton, "a
piece of strike legislation affecting
the telegraph interests was introduced
In the legislature and had the support
of certain lobby. We had opportuni-
ties enough to hire another lobby to
defeat the measure. but we would not
do 1t. Instead we appeared before the
civics committee and made arguments
against the proposed legislation; but
the outcome of our efforts seemed
pretty dubious to us.
"At last l saw Senator Campbell and
asked him II he could give us aid in
any way, provided he could do SO con-
scientiously. He told me in reply that
he considered the measure an out
rageous one, and that he would do his
best, as chairman of the committee,
to kill it; and he cid.
After the legislature had adjourned
sent for Senator Campbell, and when
he had come to me l said: Senator, l
want to express my thanks for what
you have done for my company. You
have done us very great service. and
should like to acknowledge 1t in
some way
"Mr. Orton,' Tim replied, there
isn't any way in which you can ac-
knowledge the service except by such
thanks as you have just spoken. l did
what 1 thought was my duty as a SEN
ator.'
But persisted, wouldn't you
like to take a trip to Europe? Some
thing along that line is the least we
can do

Secretary of War Couldn't Understand
Great EmancIpator's Enjoyment OF
p. v. Nasby While Waiting
for Election Returns.

Charles A. Dana, who himself had
the keenest appreciation of humor,
was one of the very few men asso-
ciated with President Lincoln IN MS
administration who understood per-
fectly why Lincoln frequently turned
to the peculiar humor Of Petroleum v.
Nasby. or rejoiced in the witticisms
of Artemus Ward-humor that many
persons regarded as beneath the Dig
nifty of a president Of the United
States to recognize. Mr.. Dana was
assistant secretary Of war In 1864.
Mr.. Dana used to say that for man
who had such an exquisite apprecia
ton of humor, Lincoln gathered
around him about as grim ana SOL
emn a cabinet as any president ever
had. Secretary of State william ii.
Seward possessed certain klnu Oh
humor and always viewed things In
sunny light. But Secretary OF the
Treasury Salmon P. Chase, Gldeoh

displayed other genuine evidences OF
being intensely amused by the humor
of the article he was reading. 1t was
as remember one Of collection OF
some of the humorous papers OF Pc

of the editor of the Toledo Blade

vogue at that time.
"I saw that Stanton was getting an

side. Can you understand that? he
asked, Indignantly, nodding in the di-
rection of the president. The destiny
of this nation is dependent upon this
election. We shall know before morn
ing whether the cause of the Union
has been triumphant at the polls or
not. And there sits the man, around
whom this election centers, on that
sofa reading that miserable trash, and
laughing at 1t as though he were the
most unconcerned man in the United
States over the results of the election
I can't stand IT.
"And / said to Stanton: III tell you
why he's reading Nasby. 1t is simply
to relieve the terrific strain-mental
and temperamental-tha is upon him.
If he did not get relief in that way,
he would die or go crazy And do
believe that until that moment Secre-
tary Stanton had no appreciation
whatever of the real reason why Lin
coin sought refuge and consolation in
humor in what were critical or dark
moments of the war and the nation"
