IN THE LOWER HOUSE. — —1 AN INTERESTING STUDY OF ITS PERSONNEL. How It Compares with Its PredecessorIn Numbers and Talent the Republicans Gain While the Democrats Lose — Old Members Returned. From the Capital. Washington correspondence: The lower house of the Fifty-third Congress will have a decided Democratic majority, yet the Republicans by the recent election gained more than they lost in numbers and talent, while the Democrats lost many old and experience i members. In the House of Representatives ofjhe Fifty-second Congress there are 235 Democrats, 88 Republicans and 9 Farmers’ Alliance men, making a total of 332 members. In the Fifty-third Congress the total membership will be 356, a gain of 24 under the reapport.onment of the new census. It is impossible yet to state definitely the relative strength of each party in the House, because in many districts the official count will be necessary to determine accurately the result. From the returns already received, however, it is evident that the Democrats will have in round numbers 220 members, the Republicans 130, and the Populists and Independents the remaining 6. V ith such a working majority as this the Democrats will be able to enact any legislation they choose on the tariff or any other Question; and as the Sena’e will also have a Democratic majority, i the party will be entirely responsible for whatever legislation is sent to Pres- i ident Cleveland for his signature. A study of the personnel of the newly elected House shows that remarkably ; few changes have been made in its membership, considering the fact that the Representatives were voted for at a Presidential election, when men of both ' parties are naturally more anxious for nominations than in so-called off years. There have been comparatively few men of conspicuous ability or striking I personality in the lower house during the past lew years, an I the Fifty-sec- i

ond Congress was especially lacking in big men. The new Congress gains little ii anything by th * changes resulting from the elections, and the Democrats have failed to make up in ability what they have lost in the failure of old and capable members to be renominated or re-elected. The Republicans, on the other hand, in proportion to their total number, will have more men of real ability and parliamentary experience than the Democrats. Losses and Gains. The Democrats will still have such strong men as Speaker Crisp, Judge Holman, Springer, the Breckinridges Bynum of Indiana, Bourke • Cockran Amos Cummings, Col. Bellows, Harte of Ohio, McMillin of Tennessee, Raynei of Maryland, and Blanchard of Lou isiana; but they have lost Blount o Georgia, Herbert and Forney of Ala bama. Hemphill of South I arolina, Hoai and Williams of Massachusetts, ant others. The three first named hav. served long years in Congress, and art possessed of valuable knowledge and experience, which will be missed bi their constituents and their colleague' in eommittooe nnri on /ho floor of th< ' 'The iiepuoiicaus lust none m v.. 0. leaders, and the apt debaters, shrew, legislators, and skillful parliamentarian: that make up the little band who have stoo l so gallantly by their dethroned Czar during the sessions of the present Democratic House are all returned, and will continue to f How the brilliant, i erratic and fateful, leadership of Ton.

I Sherman Hoar and George Fred Will- j iams, of Massachusetts, who wept when | Mills was defeated in the speakership caucus, and refused forsooth to vote for j Crisp in the House; ‘‘Tom” Watson, । of Georgia, who wrote a book to prove . that his colleagues in Congress were ' drunkards, and “the three Taylors,” all ■ from Ohio, and all Republicans. There ; will only be two Taylors in the new House as against five in the old. One is from Indiana and the other is from Texas.

DIDN’T BRING RAIN. Texas Clouds Refuse to Weep at the Command of Dyrenforth. In the rain-making experiment at San Antonio, Tex., several charges of rosellite were fired and N four shells were eent U P from the mortars. The ground charges, yacording to a 1^ corres p o n d e n t, did no more than shake the earth. ___T he mortars threw their shells in the air about 1,009 feet and exploded prettily. / ' Then Gen.Dyren- / forth brought out \ A < his grand battery 7 in the shape of an general dvkenforth explosive balloon. It took a long । while to fill it with the necessary in- ■ gredients. The balloons used in these > experiments are made of paper covered f with a light cotton netting. There is , danger in filling these dreadful things ! and even greater in letting them go for the slightest mishap or carelessness would send everybody to kingdom come. Explosion of tine Balloon. It was nearly dark when the balloon went up, but its ascent and explosion was a pretty sight. The hundreds of eyes watching it all at once saw a blinding Hash on the heavens and then came a profound silence lor six or seven E*ac- | onds, then a shock which shook the ground. The balloon had expired r.ght beneath a fieecy cloud. The cloud j kept on its way calmly and serenely, but, as Prof. Ellis said, the clou I was ■ 18,000 feet high, and as the explosion occurnd only 4,090 feet nearer, the cloud m ght have been excused for its inattention. | The following day it was fully 8 o dock before the fusillade finally opened. The sky was greatly overcast in the morning, but everybody said it t was not a ra n clou I and the General ; Blight go ahead. The breere was southI westerly and blowing about ten miles an hour. About 3 o’clock Messrs. Dickenson and King, with the president of the Sin Antonio Board of Trade, waited upon Gene al Dynnforth and somewhat sharply said that there was no use waiting for further favorable condit ons. They wanted the test made i at once, and warned it ke; t up till some result was ob aine I. The General waived his militaiy gauntlet in the direction of a battery to the westward which opened with a series of detonations of five and ten poun 1 charges of rosellite. Then on the crest of the ridge could be seen other puffs ofs moke until nearly a semicircle of explosions had been seen and noted. Then Dr. Rosell opened his mortar battery from the brow of the hill near Dyrenforth’s headquarters and a dozt n or more shells were sent up a thousand feet and exploded. These shells contained three pounds of rosellite. Whi Ie the firing was going on Prolessor Ellis prepared another gaseous balloon. It was the same as was sent up the ( ay before, b t to ihe relief of the crowd had a longer fuse, for it did not explode until it was a mile in the air. At hen it did go there was a viv d flash, a pull of smoke vis Ile for an instant 1 ami then a wait of eight Seconds for the ‘ - — It was terrific. Horses and bugg’es were changed at oat and all na ure seemed convulsed, but aga’n the fieecy clouds against wh ch the balloon had been sent sailed majes ically along, seemingly indifferent. The first bombardment was kept up until midnight, when the first battery of 3,000 of rosellite was exhausted. The fusillade will be re umod and continued without inte mission for twenty-four hours. This will conclude the first series of experiments. FOR A NATIONAL QUARANTINE. Recommendations to He Made by Surgeon General Wyman. Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital service, if whose hands I ave been placed all the measures for suppression of cholera, said that his annual repo t to the Secretary of the Treasury would strongly recommend i that the matter of quarantines be placed I under n itional control. He will sug- ■ gest that th re be established either a ! national qu irantino or a Bureau of । Heath, whose duties will Ie specifically ' confined to meeting just such emergeni cies o' have been presented by the rei cent cholera scare. • The report will follow closely the recommendation of the Quarantine Committee, made up of leafing physicians 1 of the country, appointed last fall at I the meeting of the National Medical : < ongress. These gentlemen have visited the various ports of entry from Main ■ to New Orleans, and they say the qua>antine system at New Orleans is he ore which should be adopted as a rat oral measure. It provides for a thorough fumigation, and is so effective that New Orleans has not seen yellow i lever in seven years, whereas the city used to have a visit every summer prior to the establishment ot tills system. i _

Waite and Want. A waste of flesh and a want of digestion. These go together. People who cannot assimilate the food they swallow must, of necessity, lose bodily substance. To remedy this, render digestion easy and thorough with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a tonic famed the world over for its strength and fleshyielding qualities. Appetite and sleep are both impaired by indigestion, which begets nervous symptoms, heartburn, flatulence, irregularity of the towels and palpitation of the heart the latter often being erroneously attributed to disease of that organ. All these manifestations disappear when the Bitters is resorted to. Mrlaria, rheumatism, liver and kidney trouble are effectually counteracted by this superb corrective, which is not only effectual but permanent. It Worked. “Hold up them hands!” The train robber held his revolver pointed at the head of the only passenger in the car who had not complied with the stern command. ' “Hold ’em up!” he repeated, "or I’ll blow the whole top o’ yer head off!" “I would if I could,” quietly replied the pale but self-possessed passenger, looking down at his empty sleeves, “but I haven’t seen them for nearly twentynine years. I left them on the field of Gettysburg.” Off came the hat of the murderous villain, and there was a huskiness in his voice as he said: “I beg your pardon, sir! I wouldn’t hurt a ’ "’r of your head for the whole United States,” and passed on to the next car. “Yuu look young to have been a soldier in 1863,” said a fellow-traveler after the robber had cleaned out the train and gone. 7*Me?’’ replied the other. “I wasn’t 10 years o’.d in 1863. I never saw Gettysburg. I was born this way. But I’m ahead about $l5O on this little game."

The poet Tennyson was fond of his pipe, but he was exceeding susceptible to the charms of pretty women, whom he was willing to grant any favor to. In his later years he had the reputation of being morose and discourteous, especially to strangers, but, this was because he was so bored by them that they became a veritable annoyance. He once had an American arrested and fined because the latter in his zeal had climbed the poet’s favorite tree and cut off a large branch which he was going to fashion into a walking-stick as a memento. How many people would be willing to stand admiration to go at such lengths as this. The poet's death was caused by his own imprudence. He went riding insufficiently clad, took cold, and it settled upon his kidneys, as all colds do to a greater or lesser extent. The result was an attack of pneumonia, which proved fatal to him. Pneumonia can be cured by the use of Reid’s German Covgh and Kidney' Cure, because this great remedy at once incites the kidneys to action, and thus relieves the congest ion of the lungs.
