Wabiunoton, Fob. 21. Iii a (aw ilnys
tlio Hcml-cvntcnninl coniricss of tlio
United HtiitoH will coino to nn end nftcr
fourti'cn montlm of work. Atthocloso
of ovory coiiri'sn n lnj iiuiulicr of
Btntoatncn rutlro from public to privnto
lifo, n few of tliein to roupjicnr when tlio
cotulitioiiK almll provo nioro fnvorublo to
their pcreotml umbltious, but tlio great
majority to pnni tliu ruumlndcr of their
daya In comparutlvo obscurity. On
March 4 not n larger number than usual
rctlro from thu hulls of congress, to bo
replaced by other men from tliulr states
or districts. It is noteworthy that so
fow of tlio disappearing statesmen nro
senators. So far as is definitely known
only llvo eenatora nro to retire llowcn
of Colorado, Palmer of Michigan, Sabln
of Minnesota, Saulslniry of Doluwnro,
nnd Hlddleberger of Virginia though it
is iKMsllilo Chandler of Now Ilampshiro
nnd Itcnnn of West Virginia will full
of ro-clection. In tlio list not 0110 great
historic nanio appears, unless it Ihj that
of old Undo Ell Saulsbury. Tlio remain
ing four outgoing senators nro single
term men, having taken scuts in tlio sen
ate six years ago. Palmer did not enro
to remain longer in thu senate, Sabln and
Uowen wero defeated for rcnomltmtion,
while Hlddleberger has entirely lost his
grip upon tlio politics of Virginia. Sauls
bury, 011 thu other hand, has been in tho
Bcnntu eighteen years, nnd beforo his ml
vent tho seat was for many years
occupied by his brother Wlllard.
After March 4 tho stnto of Dclawaro
will not bo represented in congress
by cither n Bayard or n Saulsbury,
tho first time such n thing has happened
for nearly half a century. Thero hnvo
been twoSaulsburyaund four Baynrds in
tlio senate from Dclawaro, tho latter occu
pying 0110 seat for fifty years. Tho re
tiring senator is nearly 73 years old, and
ono of tho quaintest old figures in con
gress. Considerably tnoro than six feet
tall, ho is very thin, and titno has bent
tho top of his flguro till ho greatly re
sembles a shepherd's crook. It is n habit
of his to paco up and down in tho rear
of tho senatorial chairs with his head
nearly upon his breast nnd his long arms
half interlocked upon his back. Ho is
on old fashioned man, very obstiimto,
and his under lip protrudes like that of
a bull dog, giving his faco an expression
of resoluteness and determination that
U not often met with.
Bowcn is n man whoso career has been
full of vicissitudes and surprises, and ho
has bucIi n remarkablo facility for shift
ing his baso nnd bobbing up serenely
from below that ho may bo expected to
conio back to congress from Oklahoma
or Alaska, or almost any placo.
Palmer likes his caso and his stock
farm too well to remain in publio lifo,
and Sabln will devoto his attention to
manufacturing. Nobody knows what
will becoino of Riddlcbcrgcr.
Another notoworthy fact is tho small
number of members of congress from
tho south who havo found it necessary to
rctiro to private lifo nt tlio end of this
term. There is n belief that tho peoplo
of tho south securo tho services of abler
representatives than tho north for tho
slmplo reason that in tlio southern states
men nro generally chosen to go to con
gress on tho scoro of ability alono, wealth
having less inilucnco thero than in other
sections of tho country. It nppears that
when tho peoplo of tho south get an ablo
and honest man in tho houso they do
light in keeping him there, nnd thus en
abling him to grow stronger and inoro
influential ns session after Ecssion adds
to his cxperlenco and prestige.
Certainly this theory is borno out by
tho ilgures which tho closo of this con
gress brings beforo us. Of tho 70 senators,
025 representatives nnd 8 delegates in
tho present congress, 409 in all, n littlo
tuoro than one-fourth, or 118, rctiro nftcr
March 4. Of theso 118 disappearing
statesmen only 80 nro from tho stntc3
commonly classed ns of tho south, nnd
of theso 80 precisely two-thirds, or 21,
hall from tho "border states" of Dela
ware, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessco nnd Mis
souri, leaving but n dozen changes in
tho delegations from tho south proper
tho two Carolinas, Georgia, Florida,Ala
bamn, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and
Arkansas or an nverngo of but a littlo
moro than ono chango to each state.
Four of tlicso dozen changes nro in North
Carolina. South Carolina continues her
wholo representation, Florida makes but
ono chango, only ono now faco will ap
pear In tho great delegation from Geor
gia, Alabama sends two now men, Ixniis
lana two, Arkansas but ono, und every
cr.o of tho thirteen scnatoia and repre
sentatives from Texas retains his scat.
Political ambitious and rivalries must
bo keener in tho north, for hero tho
changes nro surprisingly numerous. Fif
teen now men will sit in tho next houso
from Now York, whero only flvo men out
of thirty-four havo remained nioro than
two terms. Moro than ono-half of tho
now delegation from Pennsylvania, or
fourteen out of twenty-soven, will bo
amuteur statesmen. Of Massachusetts'
nino representatives in tho present houso
only thrco oro returned. Now Ilamp
shiro makes n complete chango. Only
ono of tho present members from Con
necticut is re-elected. Four of soven
from New Jersey do not return. Illinois
sends six now men, Iowa five, Michigan
four and Minnesota retains but ono of
her flvo present congressmen.
Tho northern states which mako no
changes in representation nro Maino,
Vermont, Ithodu Island and ICansos.
With fow exceptions tho retiring men
havo been hero for but ono or two terms,
and lionco havo had no opportunity to
distinguish themselves. A nlnglo term
In tho house Is a mere apprenticeship nt
tho trndu of statesmanship, and few men
havo thu force to assert theuiHolves to any
murked extent till after thoy havo served
four or llvo years. New men nro usually
placed iiHu thu least Important commit
tees, and nt the foot of thu lists. With
out n good coiumltteo a congressman
nnxioiis to win distinction is likely to
llnd himself badly handicapped, nnd
there Is n tradition of tho body restrain
ing him from appearing too often or too
conspicuously tiou tho floor.
Fow If nny of thu veterans of tho houso
fell In thu storm which raged last Novem
ber, but a number of interesting and
successful men will llnd It desirable or
necessary to leave their seats on tho 4th
instant, not to return for nt least two
years. William Walter Phelps, who is
ono of tho most popular men in tho
house, will bo ns much missed as any
body, though it Is not likely ho will re
tire to private lifo. Mr. Phelps hopes to
go to Purls as thu minister of tho United
States. Governor Iong, of Massachu
setts, n unlet littlo man with a bald head
and nn intellectual face, will remain at
home in the hopes of mnktiigsomo money
nt tho law. Ilo was never acclimated to
tho confusion and babble of tho house.
Warner, of Kaneas City, will bo very
tiopular In Oklahoma and among tho
Urnnd Army men. Pat Collins, of Mos
Bachusotta, is not coming back to con
gress. Baker, of Now York, will bo
hero. Though a Republican congress
man, Baker is said to bu on better terms
with the outgoing president than nny
other man in tho Capitol.
Tim Tarsnoy, of Michigan, will retire,
but his seat is to bo kept in tho family,
for his brother Jim is ono of tho new
members from Missouri. Another caso
of this sort is found in tho Stephenson
family. Iko Stephenson, of Marinette,
Wis. , returns to his lumber yard, whllo his
brother Sam, of Menominee, Mich.,
leaves his lumber yard to como to con
gress. Several happy chumships nro to
bo broken up March 4. Senators Palmer
and Mauderson, who nro now together
as much ns possible, will havo to seek
now companions nftcr tho death of this
congress, for Palmer is going Imck to
Michigan. Oklahoma Weaver, tho fili
buster, will havo to go and lcavo his
dear friend Springer in possession of tho
field. "Dick" Guenthcr, of Milwaukee,
und "Bob" Vance, of Connecticut, men
who look much alike, both having red
hair and blonde mustaches, are great
chums. Both rctiro, as does a third
member of tho practical joko cotcrio,
brilliant Amos Cummings, tho Now
York newspaper man. Mr. Cummings
has had a good deal of fun in congress
and nt thu snmo timo has managed to
mako a good record, but Bays n news
paper ofllco is tho placo, after all, for a
nowspaper man.
Quito a number of men known tho
country over for ono thing or another
are among tho disappearing contingent.
William L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, Pre
sident Cleveland's manager at St. Louis,
will rctiro from politics and tho houso.
Dunham, of Chicago, who has won
famo by looking llko John A. Logan
nnd driving tho best span of horses in
Washington, will no more bo seen in tho
halls of congress. Tlio most conspicuous
of tho half dozen Illinois members who
are not to como back is Jehu Baker, the
quaint old fellow, who wears collar and
choker of tho crop of 18-10, nnd whoso
neck nppears to bo so stiff that ho can't
turn his head without moving his body.
In Baker tho houso will lose what tho
senato is to lose In Undo Eli Saulsbury
a statesman of tho good old bchool.
Knuto Nelson, thu Mlnnesotlau of brains
and strong convictions, who looks llko a
farmer in haying time, will not bo in tho
next congress. ,
Among tho ono hundred nnd odd re
tiring members nnd delegates may bo
mentioned Johnston, of Indiana, who
alwayB gets excited when ho speaks and
spoils his voice; Senator Voorhces' son,
Delegato Voorhces, who has just brought
his brido to tho capital; Fornn, tho labor
ing man's friend from Ohio, and O'Neill,
tlio champion of toil, from St. Louis;
Leopold Morse, tho clothier of Boston,
whoso ten dollar suit figured conspicu
ously in tlio tariff debate; Bourko Coch
ran, tho orator; Taulbco, of Kentucky;
another man from Kentucky bearing the
beautiful nanio of Laffoon; Hay den, of
Massachusetts, whoso chief claim to
famo is that ho is to bo succeeded by n
former speaker of tho house, Gen. N. P.
Banks; Allen, of tho samo stato, who
is known nnd feared for his in
stantaneous camera, which ho carries
upon tho floor with him concealed
under his waistcoat; young Mr.
Ford, of Michigan, whoso Investi
gation of tho immigration question has
given him a broader reputation than now
members usually got; Dr. Gallingcr, of
Now Hampshire, who wants to go to tho
senato to succeed Chandler; Bcriah Wll
klns, of Ohio, tho best poker player in
tho capital, and tho man who was so un
willing lo leavo Washington that he
bought a nowspaper to keep him hero;
Hovey, of Indiana, who becamo gover
nor of his state, and Matsou, who didn't;
Anderson, tho parliamentary fighter from
Iowa, who goes but leaves his family
well represented, thrco Andersons ro
mulnlng; Dougherty, tho flerco member
from Florida, who always says what ho
thinks and wenra no suspenders; Nor
wood, of Georgia, tho only retiring mem
ber who was formerly a United States
senntor; GilTord, of Dakota, who will
undoubtedly bo a senator from 0110 of
tho Dakotas; Romcis, of Ohio, who for
four years has been txrintod out ns "tho

New Youk, Fob. 81. It was In 1708
that a certain John Stevens published, in
his collections of travels, "A Now Voy
age to Carolina, with a Journal of Ono
Thousand Miles Island." This (pmint
narratlvo, issued tho following year 111
Boparato form, was tho personal oxpo
rlencoof John LawBon, surveyor general
of North Carolina, among tho Indian
nations of that province mid adjacent
territory. In 1712 ho was captured nnd
killed by a predatory band of theso first
Bottlers. When ho visited South Caro
lina, in 1700, there were probably three
thousand aborigines within its colonial
boundaries. They consisted of Chero
kees, Catawbas, Uchees nnd Creeps or
Muscogees, the lntter liolng divided Into
twenty minor tribes. Lawson found tho
Congarees on n river of that name. Their
town of a dozen huts was In HssessIon
of tho squaws. Only 0110 man was to Ihi
seen, and tho women were occupied In
gambling. Near this primitive and un
inviting settlement was afterward estab
lished "Frlday'H ferry," and In 1780, on
tho 22d day of March, the legislature of
South Carolina passed two Ini'Kirtant
acts. Tho first was to mako n road from
Friday's ferry on tho Congareo to tho
town of Augusta, 011 tho Savannah river;
and tho second was to establish the seat
of state government at Friday's ferry, to
lay out a town there and to call it Co
lumbia. ,
Today this town (long a city) has a
population almost double that accounted
by tho census of 1880, when n total of
10,030 was returned. Since tho terrible
night conflagration of Feb. 17, 1803,
when over fourteen hundred buildings
wero destroyed. Columbia has put on
many architectural graces. Its site, a
beautiful one, about 830 feet abovo sea
lovel, was originally timbered with giant
pines, oaks and hickories. Col. Thomas
Taylor was firetowncr of tho lands. His
descendants still resido upon them. Tho
town was laid out in 1787. It is on a
granito promontory, 200 feet abovo tho
east bank of tho Congareo at Its junc
tion with tho Broad and Saluda rivers.
What are known as tho "Great falls" of
tho Congareo begin at tho upper end of
tho town, and within less than thrco
miles descend thirty-six feet, in nn ex
treme river width of one-third of n mile.
Tho city is two miles square, with rec
tangular streets, lined with lino shado
trees. Richardson street (commonly
called Main) is 150 feet wido, its road
way macadamized nnd sidewalks neatly
paved. ,
Columbia is not only tho capital of
South Carolina, but also tho county scat
of Richland. Its natural advantages are
unquestioned. That it has of recent
years becoino tho winter residenco of
opulent Northerners, whoso modern
villas dot its suburbs, is nmplo testimony
of tho locality's liealthfulncss. An un
ceasing supply of spring water, that is
sues from a valley between town and
river, is raised by steam pumps 120 feet
nt tho nito of n million gallons per day.
Tho city drainage Is good, and, with a
porous soil, an equablo temperature, two
dally newspapers, clectrio lights, thrco
first class hotels, ami only ten cents om
nibus charge to and from tho union depot
(for a traveler and his gripsack), there is
no doubt that Columbia will havo a ra
diant future, whether Engineer Holly's
wonderful canal bo completed next year
or n few months subsequent thereto.
When I asked about that canal a spry
young citizen drovo mo out to takou
look at it. This is tho history and pros
pect in brief: Sovcnty years ago tho
stato of South Carolina dug a waterway
from tho Broad river, abovo Columbia,
to a point flvo miles distant, on tho saf
fron tinted Congareo, below tho city.
Tlio two rivers wero thus connected by a
channel along tho western edgo of tho
town, and for very many years this canal
was used for purposes of navigation.
Tlio work of enlarging it so it could bo
mado available as a factory water power
was begun in 1882, and in flvo years
nearly 5110,000 were expended upon it.
Then, lialf completed, it was ceded to tho
city; 8200,000 of 0 per cent, thirty yours'
bonds havo been thrown upon tho
market.
Five trustees, appointed by munici
pal authority, hold titlo to tho canal,
and are vigorously striving to Bccuro a
mill driving capacity equal to 15,000
horso iiower. During tho past ten years
local manufactures havo shown n five
fold increase. As early as 1802 there was
a cottonseed oil mill, n rope walk and n
profitable vinoyard nt Columbia. In
1880 thero wero fifty-two mechanical und
manufacturing Industries enumerated
with an annual product of 850,000.
Tho city lias now two of tho largest cot
tonseed oil mills in tho south. There are
many foundries, a hosier factory, an
ico factory, a largo cotton compress, a
shoo factory, n canning establishment,
two extensive cotton mills in courso of
erection, railway and machinu shops and
sovcrul flour and grist mills. Thu quar
rying industries are on n largo sculo.
In its rnilway facilities Columbia re
sembles Atlanta. Thero are four main
lines which center at tho union depot,
with numerous day nnd night trnius,
east, went, north or south. Tho passen
ger und freight stations present lively
scenes nt hours of arrival and departure.
A city street railway has soveral tulles of
track and is well patronized. Thoro are
two national banks (each having n cred
itable surplus fund) and thrco monoy in
stitutions of hiuallcr capital. Tho do
oslts, in ull, reach a million dollars.
Tax rates on real and personal property
are low. Tho city debt Is easily handled
at n nominal Interest. Factories uro ex
empted from taxation forn limited num
ber of years. Free tuition is furnished
by thu graded bchools to nearly 2,000
children, black ami white, Tho Colum
bia Fouiulo collct'o is a famed and most
successful Institution. Private acade
mies for lnitli sexes nro found located
hero nnd doing well. Tho Presbyterian
Theological seminary has n national rep
utation. Stato aid fa given to tho Win
throt Training nchool for teachers. Tho
South Carolina college, with a magnifi
cent library of 23,000 volumes, is being
gradually converted Into 11 grand stato
university with mIx Hoparato colleges, in
cluding nn experimental farm, There
will bo thirty Instructors.
When finished, tho stato houso, which
Is a noblu edlllco of granite, will repre
sent a total cost of six million dollars.
In the olllco of tho secretary of stato val
uable historical relics are preserved.

New Youk, Feb. 21. Whllo making a
tour through southwestern Louisiana last
summer I Baw the most remarkablo Ixxly
of salt in thu world. It is on the Islo of
Petit A use, 125 miles duo west of Now
Orleans. Tho deposit Is of pure crystal
salt. It covers 130 acres to an unknown
depth and has been explored 150 feet
down. Tho surface of tho bed undulates
from ono foot abovo to six foot below tido
lovel. Tho earth covering the salt ranges
from 10 to 23 feet in depth, ono hill ris
ing 183 feet, showing that un after forma
tion Itook place. On tho top of tho salt
beneath tho earth havo leeii found tho
remains of tho mastodon, mammoth
sloth, toed horse, tusks and bones Inter
mingled with Indian relics, such as
arrow and spear points, tomahawk heads,
paint pots, mortar and pestio and pot
tery of all kinds. Tho dip of tho salt is
eight degrees.
There is n deposit of pink sandstone
quito decomposed, n coal formation thir
teen to seventeen feet thick and 72 per
cent, crben, tlio llgnito cropping out 100
feet above tho sea. Over thesnltcomo pink
and yellow clay beds, thosandstono, then
clay, each stratum trending towards tho
north. There are also sulphur springs.
Tho salt is a conglomerate muss of crys
tallizations, which in tho mine look llko
dark salt, but when exposed to tho light
aro seen to bo white. By analysis tho
salt is found to bo 1)0.88 per cent, pure,
tho remainder being mado up of sulphato
and chloride of calcium. Tho position
of tlio salt shows it to bo older than tlio
coal nnd limcstono which lie abovo it,
nnd nlso than tho mastodon and con
temporary animals.
Tho deposit was discovered during
1802, while a well was being excavated.
It was beized first by Jeirerson Davis
during tho war and tho salt used for tho
Confederate forces. Admiral Farragut
seized it next. Tlio land is owned by tho
Louisiana Avcrys, who lease tho bed to
a Now York concern nnd rcceivo n roy
alty of from $1,000 to $3,000 per month,
according to the demand and supply. It
lies next to tlio great cstato of Joseph
Jefferson, tho actor.
Thcro is somo water that will not mix
with whisky, however absurd this may
seem. Such water is tho very strongest
alkali. I often heard whllo in tho south
of a spring that killed men, or at least
gnvo them apoplectic or other fits who
ventured to drink its water and whisky
at tho samo time. I was told that ioll
ticians and men accustomed to hard
drinking ieriodically visited porno In
diana spring to recover from tho effects
of whisky in order to braco up for an
other year of debauch. I had supposed
theso stories wero myths until ono day
in Louisvillo I got tanglblo ovidenco of
tho whereabouts and positive existenco
of this wonderful water. Tho name
of tho spring was given as Pluto
and its location in southern Indiana at
an obscure placo called French Lick,
eighty miles northwest of Louisville. I
went up to French Lick, having nothing
moro interesting on hand. Tlio spring
was certainly ordinary enough in looks,
but whllo thero I had nmplo opportunity
to boo Its powers tested. Thobecond day
nftcr my nrrival a man came there full
of bluster, declaring that ho was not
afraid of tho water. In spito of tho
warnings of a local physician ho got full
of whisky nnd took a glass of Pluto
water. Within an hour's timo ho was
prostrated with horriblo convulsions such
us 1 iio(K) nover to beo again. Beforo sun
down ho died the death of a nmiiiao in
terriblo agony. In less than a week
another fool thought ho could mix the
Pluto water with a slnglo glass of whisky
and ascertain tho effect in o mild wnv
without nny 6eiious consequences. He
took the draft mid not long nfter was
stricken down with convulsions und fits.
I'or several days three doctors worked
faithfully to save his life and finally got
him out of danger, but it was a bug
time before ho recovered his equilibrium.
The H'cullarity or rather anomaly of
this water is that it will absolutely euro
the cllccts of alcoholism it the patient
abstains from drink while using it und
for twenty-'four hours lieforu beginning
to take It. William 11. Mauoo.
