That record has never bfn equaled and probably never will be. 'erhaps the nearest approach to it waa when James A Garllcld and Rutherford Hayei sat side by side " in the Ohio delegation in the years tntueaiateiy succeeding the war. It is safo to say that did not heaven from all creatures kindly hide the book of file, Polk, Pierce, Fillmore.llayes and Garfield would have been treated with far greater consideration than they were while in the house; but, as it wae, con gress entertained chief magistrate! unawares, ana as nobody could then Fee cabinet positions, diplo matic portfolios, consulships, sur vey orshipe, places on the tupreme ' bench, postofliccs and other teajnt. ing objects peeping from their cost pocket8,they were wooleu and pull ed and hauled over the onals the same as the ordinary run of repre sentatives ruled out on points of order, refused recognition by the chair, and bad their speeches polled by impertinence and malice, just like the yoke-fellows who were destined to weir out their lives in humbler service.

St. Louis Republic. , A Fortune In South Africa. Portland Telegram: Samuel Wll- berg, who up to the summer of 1803, had for several years been a well- known commission broker here, Inn turned up In Johannesburg, South Af rica. For two year prior to hi de parture from this city he dabbled quite extensively in acreage property on his own account When the memorable crash of '93 came upon Portland, he was oue of the many land and real estate speculators who were "winged" by the sudden deprecia tion of values, and he not ouly lost every dollar he had, but was consider ably iu debt, minus any assets. VVIlberg saw his few creditors, ex plaining his situation to them, addlug that, In order to extricate biuiself from the yoke he then wore, ho would be compelled to leave here and seek- other avenues in which to niiaucially recuperate himself for bis own and their benefit. There was nothing to be gained by objecting to Wilberg'i proposition, and he bore the reputa tion of being an honest rustler; he wu permitted to depart from here la peace, although his liabilities footed op more than $5000 In borrowed gold coin.. Ou Monday lost one ofWKberg'i creditors received, a letter from rum, dated at Johannesburg, inclosing bill of exchange on Loudon, covering every dollar of his indebtedness here, together with Interest at 0 ceuts per year. The fortunate writer does not go in to details, as to the exploit aud the character of his recognition by Uui Paul, but Intimates that by the Be ginning of the year he will open bank In the South African capital In a banking house not equalled in Plnt of elegance by any lu Portlaud. Tue building.-Wllbcrg writes, Is now in course of construction, and his ho"98 will get the lion's share of government patronage, which gives him great pres tige there. Blew Down.
