The Japanese workmen in the London eo’-
ony seem remarkably comfortable, and now
and then pause for a whiff of tobacco, which
is anything but strong or sweet. The howl of
the pipe is hardly as large as a thimble, and
the Japanese pipe is exhausted in three or
four whiffs. Of course, the Japanese wear
their native costume, and no costume seems
to lie complete without a fan. Soldiers, civ il

Correspondence of the Morning yews.
Washington. Feb. 20.—0f course,
there are no “cranks’’ in Congress, it
would be quite inappropriate to speak of
a member of Congress as a crank. Far
be it from this correspondence to do so.
But there are some queer people, even
within the halls of Congress. We a'l
have our peculiarities, of course, and, as
Congressmen are only human, it may not
be improper to remark upon some of the
peculiarities of some of them, A hasty
glance through the list of names com
posing the House and Senate shows be
tween tnirty and forty men wnose pecu
liarities are so strongly developed as to
cause remark. Some develop pe
culiarities of one sort, some of
another. There is one man in the
House—sl r. Warner, of Tennessee—who is
as noted among those familiar wipi that
bodv for never saying anything asis Mr.
White, oi Kentucky, for always saying
too much. Mr. Bland, of Missouri, is as
lively as a cricket when the subject of
silver is being touched, while Richelieu
Robinson seldom has much to say except
when there is a chance to get in his work
on the British lion’s tail, or to show hts
contempt of the habits of aping foreign
manners in this country*. Holman’s pe
culiarity, as everybody knows, is to “ob
ject” to everything that has an appear
ance of adding to the cost of running the
government, while 51r. Springer is never
happy unless he has a “little bill” that he
wants referred to some committee.
JOHN I>. WHITE, OF KENTUCKY.
Of course the noisiest man in the House,
and the one who kicks up the liveliest
rows, is John D. White, of Kentucky. He
can get up a tirst-ciass iow on shorter no
tice than any man in that body, or indeed
than any man in Congress. It is not neces
sary to go into details as to his methods.
He has an especial hatred for the internal
revenue system as now administered, and
never fails to give it a whacK when oppor
tunity offers. He has a way of coming
suddenly to the surface and demanding to
be heard on this or that subject. He
has a pretty fair knowledge of the rules of
the House, and is not at all afraid
to speak his mind about them, or to de
mand what he believes to be his rights.
And sometimes he does so in language by
no means parliamentary. But though he
may be unparliamentary 51r. White is
never ungrammatical. He is a man of
line education, studying at Eminence Col
lege and University! then graduating at
the law school of Michigan University,
taking then a course in medicine, chemis
try and anatomy, in preparation for the
practice of ’ criminal law, trav
eling largely in Europe thereafter.
And yet, although he spent years
in this work and has been in t.he Ken
tucky Legislature,and three terms in Con
gress, and been called a “crank” a hun
dred thousand times, he is yet no more
than 36 years of age. He was born in
184 b. In person Mr. White is tall, slen
der, with glossy black beard and hair,
regular and rather handsome features, a
pleasant smile which discloses a hand
some set cf teeth, and the polish and
agreeable manners in conversation which
mark him as a man of reading and cul
ture. Just how it is that such a man, so
lamblike and apparently sensitive in
private life, can be always kick
ing up such a row in public life is
hard to understand. That his ways are
very winning and his head extremely
level in his private life is shown by his re
cent marriage, in which he became hus
band to a most estimable young lady,
who.fe fortune is sufficient to place Mr.
and Mrs. White quite beyond the neces
sity ot troubling themselves about the
financial future of their lives. Yet no
man in Congress is so liable to kick up a
rumpus on short notice as is this same
John 1). White.
Another man who has his peculiarities
in an especially marked way is Mr. Wel
ler, of lowa. Of course, it is very wrong
to call him a crank, but there have been
some bad men in Washington since his
term began, and he has been so demoni
nated. Certainly, he is peculiar.
His eccentricity consists iu rising
at the most inopportune times to
say and do the most inopportune
things, lighting the most simple and need
ed measures wnieh nobody else would
think of opposing, and “objecting’’ when
not even “the great objector” himself
would think of offering an objection. All
this he seems to do as a matter of sheer
“cusseaneßs,” with the object, perhaps,
of obtaining some cheap notoriety. It
was this disagreeable habit, by which he
has made himself very unpopular, that
caused the House to break out into ap
plause the other day when he asked for
and readily obtained “indefinite leave of
absence.” Mr. Weller, who is usually
spoken of as “Calamity” Weller, is 52
years of age, his chief physical charac
teristic being a head and tace that re
minds one in a startling way of the late
lamented (luiteau.
J. li. U ELKO HP, OK COLORADO.
Another man, whose sc j at in the House
is not tar from YVeller’s, is quite as
strongly marked in his peculiarities.
Ilis name is Belfovd. His “strong points”
are so numerous that it is hard to tell in
which he excels. He seems to cut up his
monkey shines mostly for the amusement
of the I louse. He has a very weak k voice
and a very strong temper. In tho earlier
portion of" his career, his seat being far
back front the Speaker, he tound great
difficulty in obtaining - recognition. He
stood it pretty well for awhile, but it
worried him, and one day his temper got
the better of him, and he let out with a
roar and a yell, paralyzing the Speaker
and the House with a volley of complaints
because he could never get recognition.
The House, which is always ready for
fun, rather enjoyed it, and laughed. "Bel
ford thought ite had tound his forte, to
be funny, and so he kept it up. Since
that, no matter what the subject under
discussion, Belford is always ready to
cut in, and, by keying his thin, shrill
voice up to the highest pitch, Happing his
long, awkward arms about him at the
most terrific rate, and saying the most
unexpected and uncalled for things, he
manages to make people listen to him for
a five minutes’ talk. He is perhaps the
most peculiar man in the House in his
personal appearance. His thin hair is
very retl, but his thick, heavy beard is
redtler, while his face is even ii more bril
liant hue than either the hair or beard.
His clcthes hang upon him like the his
toric “shirt on a beanpole,” tobacco
juice atlorn the corners of his mouth and
his shirt front; and yet he is withal very
quick and keen-witted, and quite well
read in some particulars. He has been in
Cougress ten years.
Another man wuo has proven himself
very “pestiferous” iu this Congress is
i Mr. Warner, of Ohio. He has become
almost as chronic an objector as Mr. Hol
man, with apparently about 10 per cent.
1 ot that gentleman’s capacity and good
judgment. He can offer more objections
in the wrong place, make more useless
. inquiries and d.-stroy more valuable time
j than any other man with iiis ex: erienee
| in Congress. And yet ha has actually
| been re-eleetcd.
Another man with a peculiarity is
slr. King, of Louisiana, in his case
the breaking out seems to be
about his personal appearance.’ lie is
said to pride himself upon his resem
blance to Napoleon, and to suppose that
he has not only a face and head like Na
poleon's, but that he, too, is possessed of
great military genius.
Brumm, of Fennsylvania, is another
member of this class. His weak
ness is about labor reforms, and green
backs, and all that sort of thing.
He does not speak often, and when he
does, be makes so much noise that you
cannot hear him say anvt'ting.
“RICHELIEU” ROBINSON, OK NEW YORK.
Oscar Turner is another man with views.
His relate mostly to trace chains. When
the tariff comes up he is always
aroused, and is never easy until
he has got in a bill or a motion to take the
duty off trace chains. He does not say
very much in detail about the other
features of the tariff, except to denounce
it as iniquitous, but on trace chains he is
always at the front.
slr. Poland, of Vermont, has one peculi
arity—in bis dress. He still insists upon
wearing his dark blue swallow-tail coat
with brass buttons, let the style change as
it may. In all other matters he is per
fectly level-headed.
A peculiarity of the venerable Wol
ford, of Kentucky, is his appetite for
oranges. It is au everyday occurrence
to see him pacing about the House, some
times on the floor aud sometimes in the
lobbies, eating an orange. Probably the
most difficult thing a man of culture nas
to do in society is to eat an orange. He
always dodges it if he can, for at the best
it is difficult. But put an aged mountain
eer like Wolford at it, and the scene be
comes absolutely painful. It is some
times hard when you see Wolford march
ing down the main aisle or promenading
in the lobby and exploring the interior of
a mammotn orange to tell where Wol
ford ends and the orange begins.
Miller, of Pennsylvania, is another man
of “points.” He has a very thin, very
piercing voice, and is a most intense part
isan, and injects his sharp speeches and
queer cutting remarks most generally on
political occasions.
Of course everybody knows Jir. Hol
man’s weak point, that ol objecting to
ery blessed thing that looks as though it
oould be possibly dispensed with.
slr. Robinson, ot Brooklyn, better
known as “Richelieu” Robinson, is
another brilliant example of the men with
peculiarities. He has also been slandered
by being called a “crank.” liis strong
point is with reference to the suffering
Irish, of whom he is one. lie is also very
violently opposed to anything that looks
like adopting the customs of monarchical
governments. His attacks upon the Brit
ish Government from his seat in the House
which he is to leave at the close of this
session are familiar to everybody. Aside
from this he is a very harmless old man,
rather pleasant to meet personally but for
the fact that conversation with him is
somewhat difficult by reason of defective
hearing on his part. When the British
lion is in sight, however, he is a rip
roarer.
The Senate has not so many men with
peculiarities as. has the House. True,
Mr. Edwards is rather petulant about the
newspapers, and rather a stickler for old
fashioned and actual secrecy in the Sen
ate’s executive sessions.
SENATOR VAN WYCK, OF NEBRASKA.
Probably the Senator most liable to
go off when least expected, however,
is Mr. Van Wyck, of Nebraska. He
is alwaj’s loaded, and nobody can
tell when there is going to lie an
explosion. He has a great horror of “cor
porations,” and a big heart which yearns
for the people. He has bow-legs, hair
which stands straight up, a very vigor
ous manner, and a way of saying what he
thinks, and the way he wakes up the old
staid Senate sometimes is a caution. Per
sonally, however, he is as kind as a kit
ten, and about as frisky. He recently
married at the age of 59 or 60, and is as
fond of his pretty young wife and as at
tentive to her as a man 35 years younger.
He has built a handsome house here, for
he is rich, and when he is not paralyz.ng
the Senate with angular speeches he is at
home with his pretty young wife and
their pretty young baby.* Austin.
FAMOUS PUNCH OF WASH INGTON
neavv Ordnance for Ironclad Human
Stomachs.
The punch is no child’s drink, either,
says a Washington correspondent. This
is the receipt for the standard Washing
ton punch: One part of sour lemonade,
one j>art of claret, one-hall part of rum,
one-half part of best whisky. This con
coction is then carefully sweetened and
given additional flavor bv strong dashes
of various liquors.
Sometimes champagne is substituted
for the claret.
The average glass in which this punch
is served is round, broad and deep. It will
hold as much as a tea-cup.
This punch is iced to perfect coldness,
and in some places is served from a huge
block ot ice. which is cut iu the shape of
a bowl.
This punch is drank at receptions in
discriminately by young and old without
regard to sex.*
The young people are the greatest
patrons perhaps. Warmed up by the ex
ercises of the dance the young people
rush to the punch bowl to satisfy their
thirst.
It is not an uncommon sight to see
young gentlemen drink five or six glasses,
nearly a pint, of this strong mixture.
1 have seen young ladies drink front two
to three glasses of this punch. How
many people are there whose general
habits are temperate w T ho can safely
drink two or three teacupfuls of nun,
whiskv and claret?
Our Disappearing Forests.
Chicago A T e ws.
The reckless improvidence with which
the forests of this country are being de
stroyed is likely to bring its own punish
ment with it. Prof. Sargent’s report upon
the present condition of our forests has
been published as a part of the tenth
census. From this it appears the loss
from forest tires alone amounts to upward
*ol $20,000,000 annually. The railways
destroy upward of 30,000,000 tine young
tree 9 every year for ties. The "frame
houses, wnich form so characteristic a
feature of an American landscape, use
up the lumber from millions of acres
annually. As vet no process of repara
tion has begun. We cut down, but we do *
not replant. The consequence is seen
in the greater frequency of droughts and
floods along our large rivers, the impaired
lertility of the denuded soil, and the in
creased cost of luel and building material.
The report shows that it is quite time to
turn over anew leaf. We should hus
band carefully what forest we have left.
It is the part of wisdom for every owner
of a timber tract to cut
and with reference to the future. A good
twenty-acre timber lot can be made to
last for centuries, all the time furnishing
its annual cutting of fuel for the owner.

Jacksonville Times-Union: From a gent lo
nian who lias recently returned to the city
from South Florida, we learn some of the par
ticulars of a diabolical affair which ocurred
on Monday, Feb. 8, at Braidentown. which is
only a few miles from the town of Manatee.
Our informant got his information from Mr.
Kirkpatrick, of the firm of Kirkpatrick &
Bros., of Montana, who went there to invest a
large amount of money in lands, and who
would have done so had it not been for this
occurrence. It seems that a number of per
sons were in conversation at Braidentown oa
Monday, when the subject of the Abbe mur
der came up, and one of the party, a Mr.
Campbell, made a remark to the effect that
lie was of i he opinion that the courts would not
convict the parties who have been arrested for
the nmrdfr. and he would he one to
assist in killing them if they were turned
loose. The party afterwards dispersed, and
within a very short time Mr. Campbell was
noli tied to leave the county within four hours
or he would be killed for ex pressing himself as
he did. He did not leave, anti that night some
one knocked at his door. lie got up and
pai-tly opened it, when the person outside
threw iu a ball of dynamite, which exploded,
blew the house to pieces, and broke Mr.
Campbell’s back, from the effects of which he
died shortly afterward. Our informant was
also toid that other parties had been notitted
to leave the county inside of 21 hours or they
would meet wi:li a like fate. Among these
was Mr. S. C. Uphant, formerly a publisher in
I’hiladelphia, but now a large property owner
and citizen of that county.
PROSPEROUS COTTON MILLS.
Large Dividends, With 50 Per Cent, of
Their Sales tn Foreign Countries.
The cotton mills of Biddeford and Saco,
says the Lewiston (Me.,) Journal , have
been unusually successful the past year.
The I‘epperell corporation has paid 12 per
cent., the Laconia 6 per cent., and the
York 5 per cent. The management state
that the mills have actually earned these
dividends, and their surplus funds have
not been touched. The l’epperell is one
of the richest cotton corporations in the
country. With a capital of $1,200,000 it
has a surplus of $1,200,000 —enough to
build a big mill. The par value of its
stock is SSOO a share, and it is quoted to
day at a little rising SI,OOO. it has been
up to $1,300. The Pepperell mills are the
largest in Maine. They have 100,000
spindles, which eat up 35 to 50 bales of
cotton a week. When the plant which is
now the Pepperell • was first started it
proved a failure, and was knocked down
at half price to the present corporation,
which has grown rich out of the trade.
The Laconia mill is intimately connected
with the Pepperell corporation and they
are both under one agent, but tho LacOnia
is the older of the two. The Laconia No.
1 mill was built in 1845, and some of the
wooden looms built at that time are now
running in the mill.
The Laconia has a capital of an even
$1,000,000, and a surplus of $4,C00 or
$5,000. The par value of its stock Is S4OO
a share, and is quoted at $430. There are
75,000 spindles in the building, and they
employ 1,000 people. The Pepperell and
Laconia run on white goods of a wide
range ot quality, from a cheese cloth
weighing two and a half yards to the
pound, to a heavy drill weighing five yards
to the pound. The Laconia also makes
cotton flannels, and is the only mill in
Maine making them. The Peppered and
Laconia turn out about 14,000,000 pounds
of cottons annually. Fifty per cent, of
this product is sold in the Ghinese aud
Fast Indian markets, and there is where
they make their money. Their goods
have such a foothold in those markets
that they are beyond competition, and en
joy the advantage of commanding a quar
ter of a cent above the market. “The re
cent war in China interfered with the de
mand considerably for a time. There
is quite a movement of these
goods to South America, too.
Mayor Grace, of New York, recently
made a heavy speculation in Biddeford
cottons for shipment to the South Ameri
can market. The York, situated in Saco,
is the oldest cotton factory now running
in the State. It started in 1831. The
York is believed to be the oldest mill
making colored cotton in the country.
It has a capital ot $!)00,000, and the par
value of its stock is $750 a share. Sales
have been made recently at $B2l. The
Y'ork has a surplus of $400,000 or $500,000.
It has 4,200 spindles, and employs 1,400
people. The production of the York mill
is 4,000,000 pounds of fabrics a year, or
about 1,200,000 yards. The mills run on
ginghams, dress goods, denims, tickings,
and colored goods similar to those made
by the Bates mill at Lewiston.
"Tee total annual production of the
three corporations in Biddeford and Saco
is 18,000,000 pounds of cotton fabrics of
various kinds. This is about 50,000,000
yards. The mills keep 5,000 people busy.
The Saco riVer has all it can do and a
little more to drive all this business.
The mills have to use auxiliary st°am
