Mr. Lynch of Maine hu pending- in the House of Representative* a plan for gradually resuming specie payment*. Briefly stated, it consist* in issuing from the Treasury coupon bonds to the amount of $304,00®,### of denominations of $100 and upward, Searing interest at four per cent, payable quarterly in lawful money, and making these and green basks reciprocally convertible into each other at the pleasure of the holder; after the 1st of May next, all United States legal tender notes received by the United States, ssy $180,000,000 per year, or $15,000,000 per month, are te be retired and destroyed, and in their stead notes payable one year from date, in coin, are to be issued to all creditors to whom legal tender* have heretofore been paid. By the 1st of May) 1889, $180,000,000 in coin note* would hate taken the place of the pre*ent greenback*, having been paid out for salaries, Government eontracts, currency interest, and all expense* of the Government. These note* will come due at the rate of half a million of dollar* a dsy during the year 1389, and are to be redeemed in gold. By repeating the same operation for 1809 and 1870, the whole iisue of greenbacks now outstanding would have been converted into demand notes, and wonld be redeemable in gold by May lr1871. Mr. Lynch says that he firmly believes that the presentation and redemption of the first $15,000,000 of these note* would *o establish public confidence a* to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure.' The difference betweea the plan and that* Jl immediate resumption is that it limit* tfia amount of note* which can be presented to the Government for redemption to half a million dollar* par day after on* year from the first of May next. As our gold receipt* from custom* amount to about a third of a million a day, it is tbe«gkt that ao gradual a run on the Treasury for it* gold could be successfully met until the public confidence had so far improved as to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure, when speeie payment would be resumed by the banks and the people voluntarily. Mr. Lynch's plan !* one of the mo*t thoughtful of the gradual plan* of*re■umption yet advanced. gOOTS AND SHOES 1 Q.EO. W. BRAINERD & CO ?C / When the newspapers began to publish reports of the outrages of the Kuk Klux Klan, there was a general unwillingness among respectable citizen* to believe them. It wa* felt that the existence *f a eeoret organisation for purpose* of oppression and ruurder(wa* too foul a blot upon American oiviliaation to be easily credited. But to confirm the reports we have the Democratic journals of the North, which not only admit the truth of the stories of assassination, but labor to excuse the crimes. The object of the gang* of ruffians is to drive loyal men out Cf the Southern States, to intimidate the freedmen who are anxious to exercise the rights of suffrage, to prevent reconstruction until the rampant chivalry can hold complete control of the South, and to restore "the fair fields, which with so much blood we conquered for freedom, substantially to their old condition of a land of bondage. Well sajrs The New York Times, What can you expect f The chivalry have always been oppo*ed to freedom; tk*y have for generation* been accustomed to wallop niggers ,■ they believe that the land is theirs and all that is in it; and if you curtail their privilege* it will be your ow* fault if you are shot, stabbed, gashed, flogged, burned alive, er have your brain* knocked oat. The World boldly defend* the Klan with argument*. It compares it .with the secret societies which instigated the revolutions of 1818 in Europe, and urges that they have the ;ame right which all oppressed nations have to organise lor the purpose of overthrowing a tyranny. It i* true that such societies are foreign to the spirit of republican institution*, but, says the World, there ara no republican institution* left in the South. Terroriim and tuassination, dark threat* and terrible outrages, the midnight torch and the stiletto, are the only reeoureee of a people excluded from legitimate political action, and tHy have a right to use them. Abbojtt R. Davit, ol Cambridge, Mass., has inrented a process of preparing wood aa a substitute for paper in the adornment of house nils. The machine which prepares thfc wood is very simple, and will take a portion of % tree after it has been cut to the right length and width, and share it Id thin ribbons of the same width, aa lr*ll-paper, and of a thickness of 100 to 150 to the inoh. These rolls of wood are placed on the walls by paper-hangers with paste and brush, precisely in the manner as paper. The wood is wet whan used, and really works easier than paper, because it is much more tough and pliable. In these days whet variety is sought for, walls of houses can bC finished in different woods to suit the taste.- One room can be finished in bird's-eye maple another in cbeatnnt, another in cherry, anothej in white wood, Ac.

The expense of wood i» lew than paper. Of course, if one want* to make a very handsome room, he can use expensive wood like rosewood; but the ordinary kinds, some of which are very handsome, are very cheap. The wood can be oiled, varnished or shellacked, and washed at pleasure, and thus kept perfectly clean. The wood will not crack o* split when using, and when on the wall, stands like solid rock. Booms have been hung with wood hanging*, and exposed to the strongest heat from common stoves, without the slightest sign of peeling off or warping. The article, when ready for use, is very thin; and a log measuring twenty-four inches in diameter would make 125 rolls, containing thirty-six square {set each. One machine will shave two rolls per minute. By panelling with different kinds of wood, a room may be finished in elegant style, and made to oorrespond with the furniture. For example, if the flirniture is chestnut, with black walnut trimmings, the wall could be hung with the same kind of wood. Particular attention will be paid to repairing Watches, Clock*, and Jewelry of all Kinds, and all work in tmsted to him will be executed promptly and in the moat workmanlike manner. C. W. FREEMAN.

Bwisshelm five* the following not very flattering picture of the daughter of Chief Ju»- tioe Chase—Yi*: The plain English of all thia i* that the Copperhead press means to uphold the rebels in their new struggle for supremacy, just as it did in the old one. They tried open warfare, and were beaten. They were offered a fair trial at the polls, and refused it. No# they are trying the knife, and the World, as usual applauds, and cries Good! while the Timu thinks it very unfortunate, but nobody ought to be blamed, and there is no use in trying to stop it, because if we do we shall only convert the Bouth into another Poland. General Grant, however, took a different view of the matter, and ordered his lieutenants throughout the South to break up the murderous gangs by the most summary process. He donbtless thinks, as we do, that political campaigns are not to bo fought with the bowie-knife in Georgia any more than in Now York; and we have no fears that a resolute effort to uphold law and order will reduce the South to the condition of Poland, or Hungary, or Ireland, or that the assassins of Mr. Ashburn will rank in history by the side of Kosciusko and Emmet.—TKila.

JOHH W. »«» A paragraph is going the round* of the papers faD the effect that Mrs. Sprague is bringing her influence to bear on her husband and father 'in of President Johnson and against impeachment. There may be more in this than a casual observer would suppose. The question of rank or precedence is not more closely contested in any European Court than in our Republican Capital. Col. Benton and Chief Justice Taney had a little feud, which only ended with their lives, about precedence. Should a United States Senator rank a Judge of the Supreme Court? That was the question which the haughty persistence of the eagle-faced Colonel but partially settled in the affirmative; for, although a U. S. S. will not often condescend to cave his card for a J. S. C., the J. S. C.'s are slow to acknowledge their duty to pay the respects of a call upon a U. S. S. Of courae this is a question in which ladies take an active interest, and no one has distinguished herself more in it than Mrs. Sprague. ; D JOHN ST4R SiLOON, A RAILROAD INCIDENT. pAINTING * PAPER HANGING Ang.

We find the following in the Ohio Republic : Who ami the Aristocratic Bokd-Holdsrs ?— The Evening Pott calls the attention of those who denounce the aristocratic bond-holders to the fact that very lew of the leading rich men of our large eities wealthy enough to be styled "aristocratic" own any bonds at all.' Most of the bonds owned in the country are deposited as seenrities by the National banks, or held as investments by the savings banks, marine, fire and life insurance companies, and trust estates. Our very rich men do not deposit in savings banks, and seldom insure their lives or property. The savings banks and insurance companies in New-York alone hold $100,000,000 of United States stocks. The savings banks in Massachusetts bold $25,000,000; those in Rhode Island $15,000,000. The number of depositors in the New-York savings banks whose savings are dependent on the national faith is 488,501; in Massachusetts it is 318,000. The most numerous class of them are domestics; after which follow laborers, mmttruiw, clerks, tailors, waiters, and craftmen. It is safe toj say that about half the national debt, or two-thirds of that portion of the debt held in this country, is thus held by the working classes and poor men. These are the so-called "aristocratic bondholders," upon whom demagogues would bring ESTABLISHMENT! Keystone hotel, - (Late Kmg%) M Dey 8k, Cor. of Greenwich St, A Sit Fulton St, NEW YOBK. It would be too bad to keep out of print the story that comes to us that Colonel Hallowell, late of the 64th Massachusetts (colored) Regiment, while traveling on a train of, car* near New York, the other day, entered the smokingcar, where was also a colored man enjoying his seat, if not his weed, quietly, without disturbing any one. Soon a burly Irishman, of the fighting persuasion, entered, and told the colored man to "get out of that—nigger." Hallowell's ears pricked up at once and he interposed. "Have you a ticket, air V he asked of the colored man. "Yes sir," was the reply. GT. CHARLES HOTEL, PENN AVENUE, SCRANTON PENN'i. CHAS. H.

"The d 1 you won't," rejoined the Irishman, and at once squared off and pitched into the Colonel, bruising his face, battering him generally, and, short, it must be confessed giving him a thrashing. The Colonel, everybody knows, has a disabled arm, a souvenir of W'ugner, and he had to fight the bully with one hand, his other, with the arm, hanging lifelessly at his side.

She contested bee claim with Mrs. Lincoln, who, as " Lady of the White House," was by common consent, awarded that eminence.

My informant, a lady who was present at the.time, thought Miss Chase's manner as offensive as the open claim to equal rank was unjust and injudicious, and felt that Mrs. Lincoln was fully justified in ever afterwards refusing to treat her with 'anJyC'pretense of kindness, or to attend her wedding.

Law1 A Co. , Pittston, May 1st 1864. » General Spinner as a Religious Enthusiast. —The Treasurer of the United States is the homeliest man on earth—as any one may see by referring to his likeness on the fifty cent postage stamps. When I was introduced to him at breakfast, he smiled—and it broke a saucer. In the ooprse of hiB remarks he chanced to smile again—and it broke a plate. Out ef sympathy for . the landlord, I checked this calamitous cheerfulness by deftly changing the subject to funerals. But it was another matter I wished to speak of. Now, many people are not aware of it, outside of his ohurch, but General Spinner is a devout and sensitively eonscientious Methodist in religion, and in politics is a radical. But even the purest of us are not safe from calumny—as I know from my ojru experience. It began to be whispered around that under very trying extraordinary circumstances, General Spinner was guilty of swearing a little sometimes. The church took the matter in band as quietly as possible, and appointed a' discreet slater (the grieving mourner of a husband and three gallant brothen slain in the war) to inquire into the matter. Instead of gathering evidence at second had, she went to the headquarters; ahe posted herself among a crowd of waiting ones in the General's office. Tbe old man was absorbed in business, and working away like a steam engine. File after file of men passed before him, and be shot his decisions at them in sharp, curt sentences as they moved on. Finally a tall, handsome man approached and handed in documents for examination. Tbe General ran his eye down the pages, and a thunder cloud settled portentously upon his countenance. He threw ddwn the papers and shook his fist fiercely in the gentleman's face, and said : HARD-WARE IN GENERAL. Also a good suppry of Extracts and Essences.

ROMMEL A Co, Jan. 30,'«.} West Pittston, Pa. mcBAXL uir o. w. snun. E A L ESTATE! Mrs. Sprague's desire to be "First Lady* amounts almost to a mania; and, no doubt, has much to do with her father's Presidential aspirations. While Mr. Johnson is President she will have little eetive opposition in her claim to that dignity in her treble rank of wealth, wjfe of a Senator and daughter of the Chief Justice; for Mrs. Patterson is a woman of little or no awjtion. What with the intemperance of her husband and brother, the care of her invalid mother and bar four children, she has little time to attend to the dignity of her position! and, willi her earnest devotion to her father, would defer to Mrs, Sprague, if by so doing she could win any support to that father. On the other hand, Mrs. Wade will hold any position to which she may be assigned, and whieh she aocepU. 4KW. MT»- hM undertaken to sssert any superiority over her, the sprightly aspiring lady no doubt retired from the conflict feeling that she had von no laurels. Mrs. Wade is very unpretending in dress and manners, and to see her and her husband, in a street car,-a«;l hwe done, returning from a hospital visit, after Senate hours, one might mistake them for a well-to-do farmer and his hale old wife ; but there is a reserved force of good sense and dignity in her manner whicji. would make itself felt in the lowest hovel or most brilliant drawing room. It she goes into the White House there will be no room for the dispute as io Who is 'First Lady,' in tliis de*D«p»-atic lsnd. Hence there is no doubt Mrs. Sprague won# t not wish to see her in that position especially as Mrfe. Wadeiu-common"with the people ot Ohio, must remember, with grave Uiaapptpyal, the youthful folly of the spoiled beauty who brought public.scandal on ber father's administration, while he was Governor of that State. Even at that school girl age she had sufficient Dict and him to baffle his wisest in their -efforts to .remove jjer favorite, ft handsonje. djssolute, married man, Irom his position under the Government. One morning the city of Columbus was thrown into great'eifcrtement'by the announcement in the morning papers, that the Governor had undertaken to horsewhip tfce handsome gentleman, and had been shot in recountre; but Miss Kate clutched the helm so firmly as to cafry her little bark thiough the storm without throwing her Jonah overboard. Her influence wifh her father is ilmbst unlimited, «« to that souree was ascribed his aotive oppoeition to an increase of aalary to female clerks at a time when they received $800 a year andj she paid just this amount for a wedding veil.

Porositt op Iron.—The porosity of cast iron is a well known fact. Many yearB ago, Mr. Perkins forced water throagh thick plates of it; hence it is not astonishing that gases pass with ease. A few years ago, a physician at Chambcrv was struck with the circumstance that *n epidemic of feyer occurred in Savoy every winter; and'he fancied that he had traced the cause to the use in the cottages of cast-iron stoves, which allowed the gases of combustion to pass into the atmosphere of the rooms. The subject has been investigated by MM. DevHle aud Troost, and they find, by a very carefully conduoted experiment, that hydrogen, carbonic acid, and carbonic oxide, do actually pass through the walls of a oast-iron stove, at a dull as well as a bright red heat. The fact is worth knowing here, for such stoves are often need in this country, and most frequently in ill-ventilated apartments. The amount of gases which pass is eertainly not large, but carbonic oxide is an exceedingly poisonous agent, and most of the disoomfort experienced in rooms heated Ijy. these stores is no doubt attributable to that gas. The subject deserves the attention of manufacturers, who might possibly devise a tile or claylined stove that would diminish the inconvenience we mention, and at the same time economise fuel.—Scientific American. gERWICK MILLS.

Mr. Lynch of Maine hu pending- in the House of Representative* a plan for gradually resuming specie payment*. Briefly stated, it consist* in issuing from the Treasury coupon bonds to the amount of $304,00®,### of denominations of $100 and upward, Searing interest at four per cent, payable quarterly in lawful money, and making these and green basks reciprocally convertible into each other at the pleasure of the holder; after the 1st of May next, all United States legal tender notes received by the United States, ssy $180,000,000 per year, or $15,000,000 per month, are te be retired and destroyed, and in their stead notes payable one year from date, in coin, are to be issued to all creditors to whom legal tender* have heretofore been paid. By the 1st of May) 1889, $180,000,000 in coin note* would hate taken the place of the pre*ent greenback*, having been paid out for salaries, Government eontracts, currency interest, and all expense* of the Government. These note* will come due at the rate of half a million of dollar* a dsy during the year 1389, and are to be redeemed in gold. By repeating the same operation for 1809 and 1870, the whole iisue of greenbacks now outstanding would have been converted into demand notes, and wonld be redeemable in gold by May lr1871. Mr. Lynch says that he firmly believes that the presentation and redemption of the first $15,000,000 of these note* would *o establish public confidence a* to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure.' The difference betweea the plan and that* Jl immediate resumption is that it limit* tfia amount of note* which can be presented to the Government for redemption to half a million dollar* par day after on* year from the first of May next. As our gold receipt* from custom* amount to about a third of a million a day, it is tbe«gkt that ao gradual a run on the Treasury for it* gold could be successfully met until the public confidence had so far improved as to reduce the premium on gold to a nominal figure, when speeie payment would be resumed by the banks and the people voluntarily. Mr. Lynch's plan !* one of the mo*t thoughtful of the gradual plan* of*re■umption yet advanced. gOOTS AND SHOES 1 Q.EO. W. BRAINERD & CO ?C / When the newspapers began to publish reports of the outrages of the Kuk Klux Klan, there was a general unwillingness among respectable citizen* to believe them. It wa* felt that the existence *f a eeoret organisation for purpose* of oppression and ruurder(wa* too foul a blot upon American oiviliaation to be easily credited. But to confirm the reports we have the Democratic journals of the North, which not only admit the truth of the stories of assassination, but labor to excuse the crimes. The object of the gang* of ruffians is to drive loyal men out Cf the Southern States, to intimidate the freedmen who are anxious to exercise the rights of suffrage, to prevent reconstruction until the rampant chivalry can hold complete control of the South, and to restore "the fair fields, which with so much blood we conquered for freedom, substantially to their old condition of a land of bondage. Well sajrs The New York Times, What can you expect f The chivalry have always been oppo*ed to freedom; tk*y have for generation* been accustomed to wallop niggers ,■ they believe that the land is theirs and all that is in it; and if you curtail their privilege* it will be your ow* fault if you are shot, stabbed, gashed, flogged, burned alive, er have your brain* knocked oat. The World boldly defend* the Klan with argument*. It compares it .with the secret societies which instigated the revolutions of 1818 in Europe, and urges that they have the ;ame right which all oppressed nations have to organise lor the purpose of overthrowing a tyranny. It i* true that such societies are foreign to the spirit of republican institution*, but, says the World, there ara no republican institution* left in the South. Terroriim and tuassination, dark threat* and terrible outrages, the midnight torch and the stiletto, are the only reeoureee of a people excluded from legitimate political action, and tHy have a right to use them. Abbojtt R. Davit, ol Cambridge, Mass., has inrented a process of preparing wood aa a substitute for paper in the adornment of house nils. The machine which prepares thfc wood is very simple, and will take a portion of % tree after it has been cut to the right length and width, and share it Id thin ribbons of the same width, aa lr*ll-paper, and of a thickness of 100 to 150 to the inoh. These rolls of wood are placed on the walls by paper-hangers with paste and brush, precisely in the manner as paper.

The expense of wood i» lew than paper. Of course, if one want* to make a very handsome room, he can use expensive wood like rosewood; but the ordinary kinds, some of which are very handsome, are very cheap. The wood can be oiled, varnished or shellacked, and washed at pleasure, and thus kept perfectly clean. The wood will not crack o* split when using, and when on the wall, stands like solid rock. Booms have been hung with wood hanging*, and exposed to the strongest heat from common stoves, without the slightest sign of peeling off or warping. The article, when ready for use, is very thin; and a log measuring twenty-four inches in diameter would make 125 rolls, containing thirty-six square {set each. One machine will shave two rolls per minute. By panelling with different kinds of wood, a room may be finished in elegant style, and made to oorrespond with the furniture. For example, if the flirniture is chestnut, with black walnut trimmings, the wall could be hung with the same kind of wood.

They tried open warfare, and were beaten. They were offered a fair trial at the polls, and refused it. No# they are trying the knife, and the World, as usual applauds, and cries Good! while the Timu thinks it very unfortunate, but nobody ought to be blamed, and there is no use in trying to stop it, because if we do we shall only convert the Bouth into another Poland. General Grant, however, took a different view of the matter, and ordered his lieutenants throughout the South to break up the murderous gangs by the most summary process. He donbtless thinks, as we do, that political campaigns are not to bo fought with the bowie-knife in Georgia any more than in Now York; and we have no fears that a resolute effort to uphold law and order will reduce the South to the condition of Poland, or Hungary, or Ireland, or that the assassins of Mr. Ashburn will rank in history by the side of Kosciusko and Emmet.—TKila.

There may be more in this than a casual observer would suppose. The question of rank or precedence is not more closely contested in any European Court than in our Republican Capital. Col. Benton and Chief Justice Taney had a little feud, which only ended with their lives, about precedence. Should a United States Senator rank a Judge of the Supreme Court? That was the question which the haughty persistence of the eagle-faced Colonel but partially settled in the affirmative; for, although a U. S. S. will not often condescend to cave his card for a J. S. C., the J. S. C.'s are slow to acknowledge their duty to pay the respects of a call upon a U. S. S.

We find the following in the Ohio Republic : Who ami the Aristocratic Bokd-Holdsrs ?— The Evening Pott calls the attention of those who denounce the aristocratic bond-holders to the fact that very lew of the leading rich men of our large eities wealthy enough to be styled "aristocratic" own any bonds at all.' Most of the bonds owned in the country are deposited as seenrities by the National banks, or held as investments by the savings banks, marine, fire and life insurance companies, and trust estates. Our very rich men do not deposit in savings banks, and seldom insure their lives or property. The savings banks and insurance companies in New-York alone hold $100,000,000 of United States stocks. The savings banks in Massachusetts bold $25,000,000; those in Rhode Island $15,000,000. The number of depositors in the New-York savings banks whose savings are dependent on the national faith is 488,501; in Massachusetts it is 318,000. The most numerous class of them are domestics; after which follow laborers, mmttruiw, clerks, tailors, waiters, and craftmen. It is safe toj say that about half the national debt, or two-thirds of that portion of the debt held in this country, is thus held by the working classes and poor men. These are the so-called "aristocratic bondholders," upon whom demagogues would bring ESTABLISHMENT! Keystone hotel, - (Late Kmg%) M Dey 8k, Cor. of Greenwich St, A Sit Fulton St, NEW YOBK. It would be too bad to keep out of print the story that comes to us that Colonel Hallowell, late of the 64th Massachusetts (colored) Regiment, while traveling on a train of, car* near New York, the other day, entered the smokingcar, where was also a colored man enjoying his seat, if not his weed, quietly, without disturbing any one. Soon a burly Irishman, of the fighting persuasion, entered, and told the colored man to "get out of that—nigger." Hallowell's ears pricked up at once and he interposed. "Have you a ticket, air V he asked of the colored man. "Yes sir," was the reply. GT. CHARLES HOTEL, PENN AVENUE, SCRANTON PENN'i. CHAS. H.

"The d 1 you won't," rejoined the Irishman, and at once squared off and pitched into the Colonel, bruising his face, battering him generally, and, short, it must be confessed giving him a thrashing. The Colonel, everybody knows, has a disabled arm, a souvenir of W'ugner, and he had to fight the bully with one hand, his other, with the arm, hanging lifelessly at his side.

She contested bee claim with Mrs. Lincoln, who, as " Lady of the White House," was by common consent, awarded that eminence. There had been several passages at arms between them, and Mrs. Lincoln felt deeply aggrieved when Miss Chase was at the Whita House, either by special invitation, or to introduce some friends, I forgot which, Mrs. Lincoln, in an amiable desire to promote harmony, reminded her that she had not seen her for some time, and hoped she would call soon POSITIVELY HIS LAST APPEAR- AHCE.

When I was introduced to him at breakfast, he smiled—and it broke a saucer. In the ooprse of hiB remarks he chanced to smile again—and it broke a plate. Out ef sympathy for . the landlord, I checked this calamitous cheerfulness by deftly changing the subject to funerals. But it was another matter I wished to speak of. Now, many people are not aware of it, outside of his ohurch, but General Spinner is a devout and sensitively eonscientious Methodist in religion, and in politics is a radical. But even the purest of us are not safe from calumny—as I know from my ojru experience. It began to be whispered around that under very trying extraordinary circumstances, General Spinner was guilty of swearing a little sometimes. The church took the matter in band as quietly as possible, and appointed a' discreet slater (the grieving mourner of a husband and three gallant brothen slain in the war) to inquire into the matter. Instead of gathering evidence at second had, she went to the headquarters; ahe posted herself among a crowd of waiting ones in the General's office. Tbe old man was absorbed in business, and working away like a steam engine. File after file of men passed before him, and be shot his decisions at them in sharp, curt sentences as they moved on. Finally a tall, handsome man approached and handed in documents for examination. Tbe General ran his eye down the pages, and a thunder cloud settled portentously upon his countenance.

Mrs. Sprague's desire to be "First Lady* amounts almost to a mania; and, no doubt, has much to do with her father's Presidential aspirations. While Mr. Johnson is President she will have little eetive opposition in her claim to that dignity in her treble rank of wealth, wjfe of a Senator and daughter of the Chief Justice; for Mrs. Patterson is a woman of little or no awjtion. What with the intemperance of her husband and brother, the care of her invalid mother and bar four children, she has little time to attend to the dignity of her position! and, willi her earnest devotion to her father, would defer to Mrs, Sprague, if by so doing she could win any support to that father.

Mrs. Wade is very unpretending in dress and manners, and to see her and her husband, in a street car,-a«;l hwe done, returning from a hospital visit, after Senate hours, one might mistake them for a well-to-do farmer and his hale old wife ; but there is a reserved force of good sense and dignity in her manner whicji. would make itself felt in the lowest hovel or most brilliant drawing room. It she goes into the White House there will be no room for the dispute as io Who is 'First Lady,' in tliis de*D«p»-atic lsnd. Hence there is no doubt Mrs. Sprague won# t not wish to see her in that position especially as Mrfe. Wadeiu-common"with the people ot Ohio, must remember, with grave Uiaapptpyal, the youthful folly of the spoiled beauty who brought public.scandal on ber father's administration, while he was Governor of that State. Even at that school girl age she had sufficient Dict and him to baffle his wisest in their -efforts to .remove jjer favorite, ft handsonje. djssolute, married man, Irom his position under the Government. One morning the city of Columbus was thrown into great'eifcrtement'by the announcement in the morning papers, that the Governor had undertaken to horsewhip tfce handsome gentleman, and had been shot in recountre; but Miss Kate clutched the helm so firmly as to cafry her little bark thiough the storm without throwing her Jonah overboard. Her influence wifh her father is ilmbst unlimited, «« to that souree was ascribed his aotive oppoeition to an increase of aalary to female clerks at a time when they received $800 a year andj she paid just this amount for a wedding veil.

Porositt op Iron.—The porosity of cast iron is a well known fact. Many yearB ago, Mr. Perkins forced water throagh thick plates of it; hence it is not astonishing that gases pass with ease. A few years ago, a physician at Chambcrv was struck with the circumstance that *n epidemic of feyer occurred in Savoy every winter; and'he fancied that he had traced the cause to the use in the cottages of cast-iron stoves, which allowed the gases of combustion to pass into the atmosphere of the rooms. The subject has been investigated by MM. DevHle aud Troost, and they find, by a very carefully conduoted experiment, that hydrogen, carbonic acid, and carbonic oxide, do actually pass through the walls of a oast-iron stove, at a dull as well as a bright red heat. The fact is worth knowing here, for such stoves are often need in this country, and most frequently in ill-ventilated apartments. The amount of gases which pass is eertainly not large, but carbonic oxide is an exceedingly poisonous agent, and most of the disoomfort experienced in rooms heated Ijy. these stores is no doubt attributable to that gas. The subject deserves the attention of manufacturers, who might possibly devise a tile or claylined stove that would diminish the inconvenience we mention, and at the same time economise fuel.—Scientific American. gERWICK MILLS.
