The oldest member of the United States Senate is Justine S. Morrill, of Vermont, who fa 75 yean of age; the roangest, John E. Kenna, of West Virginia, 38. The
oldest members of the House of
Representatives are: John T. Wait of Connecticut, 75; Nathaniel B. EMridge,of Mieibigan, 73; Wm. IX Keller, of Pennsylvania, and Oiho R. Singleton, of Mississippi, 72 each. The vooneest are Robert
M. La Follette, of Wisconsin, 3fc
William McAdoo, of New Jersey, and Charles 8. Voorbees, of Washington Territory, 33 each. A letter from Hutchinson, Kansas, in the Woman's Journal, of Boston, says: "Mrs. Helen M.
Gougar lately gave two addresses
here on "Woman and the Ballot," and fairly set the town on fire on the subject Her addresses were remarkably able and were enthusiastically received." Mrs. Gougar apeaks in College Chapel Monday night of next week. We predict that her address will be the oratorical treat of the year. The Republican Congressmen are said to be haying the best time in their lives and the Democrats the wont. The Republicans not being responsible for the legislation to be enacted and having no patronage to bestow, have abundance of rest and leisure, ami! sit around telling stories, smoking, cracking jokes and enjoying themselves generally. The Democrats on the oth
er hand, being now in charge, are responsible for legislation, and are worried to death oy swarms of place hunters, zivinz them scarcely an
hour they can call their own.
The persons interested in Wo-
snSrage will be especially
to hear Mrs. Goncar next
Monday night, and those who are not interested will be surprised to find how interesting a subject it is.
No matter what we think on the sub
ject, it will be entertaining to hear
what may be said in its favor,
penally when said as well as Mrs. Gougar has the reputation of saying things.
An examination of a man of
the United States will show a strip of land several millions of acres in extent, marked "public land," lying between the States of Kansas and Colorado and Texas. This strip of country was left out by mistake in the original surveys, and is not included in any State or Territorial jurisdiction. Neither is it reached by the United States law. It is wholly without a judicial authority, and is consequently, the abode, of the very worst classes in the country. Cattle thieves and criminals of all kinds resort to it as a refuge, and lately cattlemen have partly taken possession of it to evade the action of the President, excluding them from the Indian Territory. There they have established their ranches without molestation. A mob collected near French lick, Orange county, last Friday night, went to the house of Bennett
Griggsby, and captured Kinder
Smith, a relative of the notorious
Archers, marched him to the woods
near by, where a rope was in readi

neck, threw it over the limb of a
tree, and strung him np till he was
nearly dead. He was then lowered and when he had recovered sufficiently to speak he was asked what

was stated that be and Samuel Archer and Wm. Jackson had ar
ranged to intimidate the state's wit

Archer had written to them to that

SOMETHING OF A DELETERIOUS HABIT AMONG CHILDREN. Evil Effects mt Ealing Slate Peaclls aaul Snsne Reflections Vpmm the Growing
:-ia lalerest-
lanj. Interview.
"Your purer ouebt
about tbe habit of chewing slate pencils.
which i to prevalent among school children," said father of a family to our reporter; coming from rach a source it could net fail to have a beneficial effect, and ' 'That's all right, said the reporter interruptirery, "but we want some fads. Tell me anything and everything you know about the matter, ana, if found worthy of investigation, such investigation shall be made."
"Found worthy of investigation ? ' was the reply, "why bless you it is an evil, a crying evil, which demands the attention
or everyone interested in tne neaun 01 iuture generations; and parents and school teachers should use every effort to break it up." "Is the practice of chewine slate pencils
of recent introduction, or has it existed
aay toagtb of time? ' "The habit is not new, but it has in
creased to a lamentable extent during the past few yeers. I have endeavored to trace its origin, and have reason to believe that the practice has grown nut of an idea entertained by many girls, that tbe eating of elate pencils beautified their complex
ions. This belief was strengthened when
I found that the majority of those who practiced this habit, were almost exclusively of the feminine sender. I was led
to inquire into this matter by the illness of a daughter of mine. While hor illness
eras not serious enough to warrant her
being confined to bed, the symptoms showed her ailment to be of a peculiar nature, whioh puzzled not only myself but even the medical man I was compelled to call in. He at first considered the girl to be suffering from an aggravated form oi dyspepsia, which appeared decidedly strange, when considering that sbe was not yet out of ber twelfth year. The doctor finally gave it as bis opinion that the girl bad eaten of some substance other than a natural article of human food. Something totally foreign to the dietary of civilised life, and that something turned out to be shite pencils. The doctor, while having heard of the practice, bad never had a victim of such indulgence under his professional care previous to this, but his suspicions were verified upon questioning the girl. Sbe admitted having chewed slate pencils for a period of time extending over two or three years, and
said that she was led into the practice by the example of her schoolmates, who told her that it would make her complexion and teeth lovely." "Was that result really obtained ?" "Well, that 1 cannot say positively,
though it may have been discernable to others, it was not so to me, and the physi
cian whom I consulted declared that no
such result could reasonably be expected to follow the consumption of slate pencils. After abstaining from the harmful habit altogether and receiving careful treatment my daughter has recovered her health." Not being able to obtain further infor
mation from the gentleman tbe newspaper
man sougnt a medical acquaintance and proceeded to sound him on the subject. "Yes, I have heard of this before," said the H. IX, "and can assure you it is a very pernicious habit. So far as tbe immediate effect of eating slate pencils is concerned, there is no danger to be apprehended. But as sure as we exist, disas
trous in tbe extreme will be the effects of
a continuance of the habit to those children woe have once contracted it." "To what causa do you attribute the prevalence of the practice?' "Well, that query is almost beyond my power of reply. Like numerous other customs of more or less evil tendencies which exert their influences over adults, this has cropped up and prevails through mere force of habit. Children are so apt to imitate one another in such things that it is only surprising tbe prevalence of this health hurting habit is no more extensive than it appears to be. The idea that chewing slate pencils will beautify the complexion, is most absurd. It is a mere foolish girl vagary, founded on some misconception, I know not of what. No sir, tbe result will be exactly the opposite to that oi beautifying the skin. "Ton want to know how such an idea obtained promulgation in the first instance? Well, probably from the fact that those persons who eat clay are said to enhance tbe beauty of their skin by theij satisfying a deprived appetite. Clay eaten? Way they exist in various parts of the world; we have them in our own country. The country people of North Carolina are said to consume daily large quantities of certain kind of clay found down there, and which like the same compound which is devoured by the people of Styria is said to be of aa arsenical nature." , "What are the natures of all the ills ensuing from indulgence in this habit?" "The premonitory symptoms are in variably those of dyspepsia strongly marked. They will sometimes show themselves very suddenly, and at others occupy several days in .developing. There is but a slight desire for food, which even If taken, remains undigested for an indefinite length of time owing to tbe serious disturbance of the digestive powers, by tbe presence of tre foreign substance the chewed slate pencil, which on account of its noffcdtgetive nature, causes no secretion of gastric Juice. At times, tbe membranes of the stomach are highly irritated and inflamed, in this case the sufforinr; is intense. An unquenchable thirst is also present, and the face assumes either a cadaverous hue or a peculiar swelling of tbe cheeks and eye-lids takes place. Contraction of the muscles of the stomach will also supervene and cause most painful sufferings. But, a whole complication of disorders is liable to follow and the treatment ? Oh well, I caanot go into that now, tbe first thing to he dona is tbe breaking off of the habit, and every person having children under their care should give the matter at ten -
to say something

-It is a very significant fact
tnat, according to a report made by Secretary of the Treasury Manning
the expense of draping the public
buildings at Washington on the account of the death of General Grant vns $2,443, and upon the death of Vice President Hendricks, $5,475. Hie latter did nothing for his country in her hour of peril, while the former will live in history as tbe man who saved the nation. But then an administration that would pot a flag at half mast to honor tbe memory of an old rebel and thief, like Jake Thompson, could not be expected to pay the same honors to tbe memory of General Grant aa to Thomas A.

She goes to Ireland to study tbe Irish questions (in which sbe.bas been deeply interested for several years), upon Irish soil. She will travel extensively in England, Scotland and Wales, and visit Paris before her return. The Indianapolis Journal refers to Mrs. Gougar as one of the strong orators among American women. We hope a large number of our citizens will give themselves the pleasure of bearing her.
THE jWEMS. HJLTK SOME FlTHr. A Contest for a Chairmanship. FIRST C1RCUS or THE SPRING OF '86. Ever since John M. McGec arrived from Washington City it has been rumored that tbe Democrats were to hold a convention in the court house of this place, to appoint Matsou delegates to the congressional convention, but aside from a brief advertisement in the Courier stating that a meeting would be held on the 20ih, nothing va? known. Not a poster was seen,and it is said that none were printed, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. H. J. Feltus, Secretary of the central committee, is the owner of & printing office, and the Chairman is his deputy in the post office. In lieu of posters, however, word was conveyed to all portions of Monroe county by runners, who were Bent to every township, exhorting the Matson men to gird on their armor and come in force. The anti-Mat-son men had not been idle in the meantime, and had marshaled their
hosts till all answered to the rollcall. a , . V . a
as a result mere was quite a largg
attendance at the meeting, which was rapped to order at l o'clock on Saturday afternoon by Lon. I).
Rogers, Chairman of the central committee. He said the meeting was called to chose a new central
committee, and to select delegates to the several conventions. He
then proceeded to make a speech, in
which he pleaded for harmony. He
said "there ought to be no revenge
Ail feelings among the Democracy,
there ought to be no personal hates to avenge, and there should be no bitterness because some one has not done you all the favors you ask."
The tenor of Mr. Rogers' ingeniou s
speech was an apology for Matson
Before Mr. Rogers had conclud
ed his remarks, Peter Dill of Clear Creek tp., who was already on his
4VVS VtlVM WMW KtH VIIBIIMHU tand cried out unceasingly, till he
was recognized, when in a brief.eloquent and Senatorial bass voice he
placed Jno. K. Anderson in nomi
nation for Chairman, being aMy
seconded by 'Squire Chaodler,whose "happy" remarks throughout the
meeting elicited uproarious applause. Elijah Knight placed John R
East in nomination for Chairman,
and D. O. Spencer of Washington
tp. pointedly objected, and support
ed his objections in a well-timed
speech. Elijah Knight took issue with Mr.Spencer, and declared that
Mr. S. did not represent Washing
ton township. Mr. Spencer replknl in a caustic manner, and tlien Dr.
Campbell of Benton tp. got tbe
floor, and endeavored to throw oil upon the troubled waters. Mr. Spencer then made an effort to be
heard, and a perfect Babel of noises followed, among which could be
heard, "order!" "goon!" "pull
'em off !" "go in Dank ! " etc.
Spencer was then heard to say, during a temporary lull in the storm : "I desire to be heard or to be choked down." This produced a roar of laughter, and Dr. Campbell finished bis speech, after which Mr.Spencer again took the floor in opposition to John R. East, and iiu favor of John K. Anderson for the position of Chairman. At this point Mr. East withdrew from the contest, and Jno. K. Anderson w is unanimously elected Chairman a triumph for the anti-Matsoo faction. Mr. Anderson made a brief but handsome speech in acknowledgment of the honor, and suggested
the election of a Secretary. Peter
Dill was elected Secretary, and H. J. Feltus was made Assistant Here in the person of Mr. Dill, wss another anti-Matson man. John McGee made a motion that the townships retire to certain
designated places (so they might go
through the forms of selecting delegates and committeemen). John C. Dolan moved that one man from each township be selected, nud that the twelve retire and choose their committees, as it would be less cumbersome. Mr. Spencer objected l o any man (McGec) coming from Washington City to dictate to people here who should be selected, or bow it should be done, and got in some good "body blows." John East spoke against Mr. Deism's motion, and called it "one man power," "undemocratic," tic. As(
a result the townships retired bodily, except those members who could not find the places that had been selected the evening previous. A number of the Washington tp. dele
gation did not go out into the rain, and they prepared a list of delegates selected at a meeting held in the
court room.
The townships were out over a
half-hour, and assembled slowly when they did finish their business,
many of them stopping to "sec a man," on the way to the convention room. While waiting for the re-1
assembling of the convention, a I number of the fathers of Democracy sat around discussing events. Bro.
Roseberry, who once represented
the Democracy in the legislature, said to Bro. Mat. McPhetridge: "Why this is disgraceful and before to-morrow morning it will be telegraphed all over tbe country as a drunken mob."
The convention finally reassem
bled, and the townships wore called for reports. When Washington tp.
was called two reports were offered
one from those who went out,and another from those who remained
in the house Mr. Spencer representing the latter. Mr. Spencer
arose to a question of privilege, and
several of the emissaries of the
ways and means committee tried to
put him down, with yells, howls and hideous noises, but he gallantly
maintained his ground. After giving the Matsonites the liveliest little fight they had had for many days,
Mr. Spencer withdrew his report.
R. W, Miers introduced a resolu
tion instructing the county to vote
in judicial convention for J as. F,
Morgan for Prosecutor.
K..W. Miers introduced a resolution endorsing Hon. Jno. W. Buskirk for Congress, and instruct
ing tbe county to vote and work for him in convention. Cal. Worrall introduced a reso
lution in his own behalf, in sub
stance, that the candidate for Representative from Monroe county
who had the greatest number of
delegate8,8hould be the man for the
entire delegation to vote for in con
ventibn. (Cal. thinks he's that in
dividual.) 11. A. Fulk made his
first speech on this resolution, and
he made a rattling one, too. He
said he had acted with the Democ
racy for 16 years, and had worked honestly and conscientiously, that Worrall came to him before he had
thought of being a candidate, and
said that John East must lie beaten
and suggested Dick as the proper
man to do it. Now he was disgust
ed with such tactics, and would no longer be a candidate. He said also that Matson hadn't voted as he be
lieved he should on all measures,
and Mr. Fulk rose superior to
his party all through his speech
Worrall came back at him about giving away private conversations,
but WorruH'a resolution failed. John East introduced a resolu
tion telling what a great man Matson is how he'd removed all tbe
postmasters and how the Democracy would have all their feet in the trough before the Presidential election day rolls around. It was there that he hit 'em hard, and tbey yelled for several minutes. Then tbe thirsty crowd rushed from tbe house.
The endorsement of John W. Buskirk for Congress was a solid
victor)' for the anti-Matson men,
while it was also a proper recognition of a man who will make a bet
ter Congressman than the present
incumbent, if he is chosen.
It is claimed by persons who believe themselves competent to judge,
that a large majority of the dele
gates who were selected are favorable to the claims of Matson, and that the "instructions" will cut but a slight figure in the congres
sional convention.
John McGee, during the pro
ceedings, got up and stated that a
great deal had been said about his
coming from Washington City to
attend conventions, etc., and declared that he had a right to come-
that his home was here, that his family was here, he had a right to come home to pay his taxes, and he
proposed to exercise that right. (A
joke).
The endorsement of Morgan fur
Prosecutor gives great satisfaction
to the Republican candidates for
that position. They think he can be beaten without au effort if he is nominated. If such a convention had been held by Republicans the ill-feeling would not have been smoothed over before the election day, but the men who were ready to fight, that afternoon, were seen a few hours later.
