He neither understood it nor spoke it. He was, moreover,-an educated Spaniard, and was said to be a Catholic priest. This man of foreign tongue only had suc- eeeded Richard H. Weightman, who served during the previous Congress. He held his seat by virtue of the vote of his constituents, the favorable re- port of a committee of Congress upon & contest made against him, and the approval of that report. by vote of the House. He was the sole representative in the House of a portion of the United States but little less in area than twice that of New England. He went into his seat, as has been said, on a contest that ended favorably to him. He went out of it after an election on a contest that was decided against him. His po- sition in the House, and the manifest disadvantage of it to his constituents, led to repeated attempts by bis friends to provide him with an intorpreter upon the floor of the House. The first effort contemplated that this should he done at public expense. Later it was sought to provide that some one to in- terpret for him might be permitted merely to come within the doors of the legislative chamber. The first effort failed through a decision of the speak- er that the resolution offered was not a privileged one. The other failed from the lack of a two-thirds vote in favor of suspending the rules to permit aan introduction of a resolution.

Some say that the amount of money fm the United States Treasury at the time of the Secretary’s latest report— $545,876,305—is not onry the largest in the history of our treasury, but the largest on record for any nation, says the New York Press. Such is not the case. Some eighteen months after the Franco-Prussian war the Bank of France had in its vault no less than 3,000,000,000 francs ($600,000,000) in gold, the biggest amount of gold the world has ever seen, The most extraor- was that France had paid to Germany demnity. The war increased the na- thonal debt about 7,000,000,000 francs. The Commune destroyed property worth 800,000,000 francs in April and May, 1871. Just think of the recuper- ative powers of France to have more than hal? her war indemnity back in her pocketbook in a year and 9 half, and through trade, too! 315 00 The First Newspapers.

This was the Frankfurter Zei- tung, and it appeared first in 1615. Thig publication is still in existence. It was followed the year after by the Nieuwe Tidjinghen, a Dutch produo- tion, printed at Antwerp, says a Lon- don paper. The first English newspa- per was the Weekly News from Italy, Germany, etc., published in London ia 1622. The Gazette de France (Paris; 1631), and others followed. The Lon- don Gazette was the first regularly is- sued English newspaper that survives to the present day.

Fort Attack, has been equipped with electrio lights. The works are to be com- pleted by next month, and the garri- son increased. Large sums of mamey have been ap- propriated in the military budget. for the equipment of the new rifle factory yt Ishapore, and for the extension of the central gun carriage faetory at Jubbulpore. The rearmament of the native infantry regiments is also to be completed with as little delay as pos- sible, a sum of $1,345,000 having been appropriated for the purpose. The re- erganizaticn of the Nght and heavy field artillery and the division and bri; gade staffs alse absorb a considerable sum. To meet the possible military requirements, the rolling stock on the railways is to receive large additions. The army experimental batloon corps is to be exercised among the hills of the Yuzufzai country by which the road from Nowshera te Chitral, in the direction of the Russian frontier in the | north, passes. GUM PRODUCED BY ANTS. Without Their Labors Supply of Gam Arabie Would be Very Small. Gum arabic is an exudation from certain species of acacia. in order to | obtain the guni the stem must be cut er perforated so that the juice may exude, and we are told by M. Walter Busse, who has just been investigating the gum production of German East Africa, that in the majority of cases this neeessary perforation is accom- plished by ants, without whose labors, therefore, the world\could not get its | supply of gum avabic—at least with the present ease. Says M. Busse: “Apart from the rare wounds in filcted accidentally by man, animals. storms, etc., all secretion of gum ir | this country is provoked by ants. The | ants perforate the bark of the acacia to gain admittance into the wood, where they lay their eggs in the exca- vations, which are sometimes of con- siderable extent. “The acacias with soft wood gener- elly show few wounds of this kind. The hardwood acacias are riddled with them, each perforation being marked with a globule of gum. “The ant that thus produces the gum makes no use of it. It is only an ebstruction to her work, since it stops up the galleries that she hollows out.” —Journal d’Agriculture Tropicale. How New York Sleeps. New York is a city of infinite varie- ty. There are those who have beds without sleep and those who sleep without beds. Three thousand of her winter residents slumber in the cra- dles of the cazal Larges that come cac? from the canals of New York stat« from the great lakes and Lake Char - plain, to spend the winter months moored in New York harwor, says Les- Ne’s Weekly. In the tenement dis- tricts a man, his wife, and his four, or six, or eight, or more children sleep in a single room. And one who goes about the city finds, many a device for slumber and repose: On Washington street, on the west side, where the Tunks, the Greeks, the Assyrians and the Egyptians live near neighbors to a.colony of Irish, is @ queer little Ori- ; ental hotel on the top floor of a tene- ment, and the proprietor is a man who once belonged to the retinue of La @elle Rosa, a Turkish dancer of- Mid- way fame. . Searf Pin in Cow's Henrt. The fizding of a gold scarf pin im- bedded fn the heart of a cow butchered at Carrollton, Ga., for market has aroused a deal of interest. A local butcher who was preparing the beef after it had been slaughtered made the discovery. The pin had pierced its way literally into thq | heart of the animal and had evidently been in that position for some time, as it-had grown into the tissues of that organ. The cow was purchased by Robert Gaston, a farmer of East End, from | Mrs. Wilbur Helton, the wife of a v.acksmith near that place. She iden- | tified the pin as belonging to her, | stating that it had been lost some time aga.—Atlanta Constitution. Don’t Worry.
