Naturally parents listen to the child's story tothe injustice of the teacher. A case in point. A lad -attending a school in Pennsylvania.came home one day, showed bruises, saying that his teacher, a lady, had thrown him down the stppj in a tit of anger. Next day the boy died, and the parents accused the lady trith being the cause of the boy a deati?. This so worked on the woman's mind that the was compelled to take to her bed, and for Joys was in a critical condition. Now it turns out that the lady was absent from the Echoolat the time, arjd that the boy iell down the steps accidentally, and died from chronic pleurisy. Tiie snob element o? Washington society lias been very much exercised of hte over :i matter of "court etiquette." The question is which princess of the realm was to bo considered the first laJr in the land in the absence of Mrs. Ucorue K. Kdmunds, whoso husband is by courtesy of his fellow Senators and moarnfui circumstances, Vice President of the I'nited States. 1'roin the disgusting discussion of the momentous matter it is learned that the honor which awaits the "firstlady" of the land is to pose as a martyr ut tho right hand of President Arthur at his annual agony in receiving New Year's callers. As the Presidents a gentleman he wisely kept out of the "royal councils." But the courtiers were determined to have the question settled, and they cast their die by agreeing to allow the honor to fall upm the shoulders of the wife of the Sjiei/:er of the House of Representatives. This is the dictum of Washington "Snobocraey." The wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives is a worthy wo nun, and will sustain with dignity and grace the position which has been assigned to her, but why she, or the Tjife of any eithr.cn of tho United States of free anil Ki'pnbliwin .America, should be designated as tho "lirst lady of the land" is beyond the. comprehension of those who Iwlieve in the democratic simplicity of our institutions. The lirst lady in the land according to the spirit in which the const itution was framed?not in gilt, but in hard oak?is tluit woman who is a good wife and mother possessing a faithful husband and a kind father. To a?t up an aristocracy at the Capital isassiJly as saying that Mrs. Bunthorne is entitled to more attention nt a quilting bee than Mrs. Snnlftx, because the former has ? better wnsh-boiler than the latter. The first woman of the land is found in every happy and honest household. That's all there is about it. Tlte lUtiaditloii Ciue of lliiruot, thoMillionnlro Korgwr of Germany.

Louisville, Kv., Dec. 20.?-A largo crowd of representative business men were gathered nt tho Board of Trado rooms to take part in the reception to Congressman Samuel J. ltandall at noon to-day. Among thoso notablo (or their presence were: Capt. Silas Miller, Col. J. Faulknor, Col. Jninea F. Buckner, Jr., Capt. M. F. Fishback, D. L. Gravi'B, Gen. Green Clay Smith and Bishop Ludlow. Tho othnr* in attendance were: John G. Hoaeli, Judge llarlen, Major Clint McClatty, exGovernor Luko r. Blackburn, Senator Itoilney Haggard, ?j? Clark county, Lewis llarkhouse anil other*. In the morning Congressman Randall breakfasted at the residence of Mr. Jno. E. Greene, Fourth avenue. At breakfast were present by itivitatfou Congressman | McAdoo, Lisbon ; Ludlow, Maj. J. M.I Wright, Albert Fink and Gen. liasil \\\ Duke. TIIKCUOWEED'noOM. It bad been announced that Mr. Itandalj would arrive at tho Board' of Trade rooms promptly at 12 o'clock. Half an hour before tho appointed time tho room in which the leception was to take place there was a perfect jam. In one place stood a staunch Republican leader and by his aide a loyal Democrat: men from the couniry with clay covered boots and hayseed whiskers made their presence felt, elbowing their way through the crowd. Besides others who have been mentioned there was a delegation of colored men scrambling for a plaeo. The big crowd of substantial citizens behaved like a lot of "gallery gods" in a theatre. Mr. liandall's arrival was slightly delayed, and the crowd expressed its impatience by thumping tho tloor and mis ing a noisy disturbance with tho feet. Mr. Itumlall anil his party appeared at 12:45. Tho passage about tho door was crowded so much that it was found very disagreeable to pass in at that point, and Mr. ltandall found it necessary to enter through a window from tho committee room to the platform, which had been arranged for the speaker. Close behind Mr. ltandall, who walked, besides Mr. Green, was Congressman McAdoo. The party were accorded a hearty reception. A KOVAL WELCOME. In his words of welcome Mr. Green was very complimentary to Mr. ltandall. He said the visitor was engaged in an honorable, commendable task of working to secure the best interest of the business men and laborers everywherethat it was his mission in the South to acquaint himself with the business in its prosperity and depression that he might be better qualitied to assist in national legislation and advance measures in relation to the important question of taritT that would adequately meet the wants of the people"? Mr. Green felt confident thattho incoming administration would assert itself beneficently for all parties concerned. At the conclusion Mr. Green introduced Mr. I Caudal 1. There was a wild clapping of hands and after the excitement died Mr. Randall advanced to the front of the platform and in a slow measured voice began a specch of twenty minutes. Mr. Randall said: kaxjull/s speech. . Mr. Vheswest a.\o Gestlehes of the Boahd ok Tuade of Louisville:?Reared as I have been in a mercantile life like most of those around me, you Can understand why I appreciate more than miglit be under different relations the honor which this body of men tender; and I say that it is proper in the outstart you, being a body of men composed of persons of every political party, should be given to understand that 1 am* here present to-day without any personal political motive. 1 come among you to witness for myself, to study the details that prevail in the great South in the business relations that it bears to the country. We are passing through a period of great depression, and, as I think, I can show that this depression is phenomenal in its chanicter, and unlike all others that have preceded it in the United States. What is known as the panic of 1837, which 1 know of only perhaps from reading and hearsay, there was antecedent to that period for seven years a balance of trade against the United States aggregating $160,000,000 in value. Again in 1857 the nanie of that year was preceded bv eight years of adverse trade* against the United States in foreign countries aggregating $350,(TOO,000, and the more recent panic of lS73,came upon us after ten years of balanco of trade against the United SUites, aggregating $1,000,000,000 in value, and yet to day we are in tho midst of a depression when the last nine years of trado in tho United States has been in favor of tho United States to the extent of $1,"00,000,000, and therefore we cannot measure' our present depression in business by those rules of trade which I have indicated as controlling, in iny judgment, tho panics of prior years. KEASONS F0RTI1K DEPRESSION. It is due to your intelligence that I should give you the reasons which I think have controlled to bring us to our present trade condition. I consider that it is owing to an exhaustive taxation and to some degree, trade restrictions which ought to be swept aside. [Cheers.] Tho government should be administered economically, and there ought not to bo collected a dollar of revenue from the people of tho United States in excess of that which is necessary to economically administer the government of this people. [Cheers.] Tt is a trite saying, and some of us have realized tvi.tli of if * lint: n mnn u'lin Knnmlu more than ho makes will becomo embarrassed, and I say according to my judgment a country which imports more than it exports must become embarrassed and the great object of government to a free people like ours is to have such laws enneted and honestly and intelligently administered as will promote tho great objects of the trade and commerce of the country [cheore], and I therefore feel that when I am hero I am among the representatives of tho energy and tho enterprise of tho gateway to tho South in her industrial relations. I am here, as I said before, without personal objects and yet \ havo come to see U?o great reawakening of tho indusI trial energies of the South. NO HKCTIONALbimnKNCES. You aro without limit in resources. You are to-day in many of the products under the soil competing favorably with tho North, and I have no enrthlv objection. 1 am free to Bay I am glad to seo tho' Southern States, and many of them come into successful competition with tho Northern States, but I aiu absolutely unwilling to see both sections interfered with in their progress and career to tho destiny which Gou in its intlnito wisdom has endowed upon this greatest country on earth by such relations as will make both sections tho victim of foreign low labor and foreign low interests, [cheers],-and I do not speak this to you in anv partisan sense. I speak it in the broader eons? of 8toteamanshipf if J may ho allowed to apply tho term, for wo aro all advised that statesmanship consists in knowing the resources of the country, and it is, in my judgment, tho duty ofan intelligent people to study out the details of hor condition as thoy relate to her exchange of products with foreign countries so no harm may eomo to invested capital and no lowering of tho wages of Ameiiean mechanics; and I say to youjdeliberately that this can bo done, and done only upon a business basis about which you perfectly well understand. When you attempt in my judgment to run a country upon theory, then I think you belittle tho subject that you must study out for yourselves, each individual and oach commercial and trade interests, because tho conditions aro never aliko in two ditl'erent eountrks, and I say 1 in conclusion that it should bo tho great i object of our rulers at Wanliingtoii, ami tluhfullllmont required of such olliciats is not wisely conducted unless tliey give that ( uii'uiau, iu? mriia wo iiiwh win permit, to tho business interests of the country, I for _ wo < all uudenUtml that tho \ business interests of a country when , prosperous indicate tho success, comfort uud happiness of the entire people. And ( in liko manner, therefore, when the busi- I ness interests of n country nre neglected j or from one eauso or another are not aptly looked after, then it is that depression, discomfort and unhappineas como to tho 1 entire body,of our citizens. i Itistheuiity of an administration, there* j fore, to look utter tho business and tratio j I relations of our country, and 1 may bo per- t mitteil to indulge thus far as my distin- | | ts'uished friend who lias just spoken has t to say, if I understand aright tho* duties |, of the incoming administration it moans c to give us a business government. [Ap- t plause.] ' i m'adoo's speech. After Mr. Randall had resumed his Beat ' there were loud calls for McAdoo. Inres- ^ ponse a tall young man, dressed in black, t who described himself as a member of i: Congress from the little State which raised a watermelons and manufactured lightning 1 in a liquid form, took tho lloor and expressed thanks for the honor that had ^ been shown him. Mr. McAdoo said that the people of his fl .State had a warm interest in the success v of a new youth. Mr. McAdoo'n speech c was a beautiful rhetorical effort, full Of H sound logic and senbibly to the point. 0 After adjournment Mr. Randall shook hands''with a number of frienos. He was driven to the l'endcnnis Club room, where *' he enjoyed a hearty meal with a, select coterie of protective tarili* disciples. A NIGHT SKA-NClt. f KnutlnllSpeixkn to a Full ilnuxc-Souio Cheers for Watterbon, v Louisville, Ivy., Dec. 21>.?Fifteen hundred people assembled in Liederkranz a hall to-night to listen to addresses of Hon. ^ Siiuuel J. Randall and Congressman Mc- \< Adoo. Most of the people came before S a o'clock and the lmll was comfortably filled 0 by that hour. The audience quietly awaited c the arrival of the distinguished party, for Sl a while, but they became a little impatient ? before they arrived. There were no deco- l! rations in either the hall or on the stage. Two rows of chairs were arranged on the 0 latter and these were tilled after the dis- 0 Unfinished guests arrived, principally by 11 merch ints and other business men. SThere was a noticeable absence of a polit- . ical clement, however. i, The meeting was called to order by ex- 11 Governor Blackburn at-8 o'clock. Upon " the tnotio of .GCn. Dukes Mr. A. D. 31c- " Cullough was chosen Secretary, tffld the w members of the daily press assistants. el Shortly after 8 o'clock, Mr. Randall and n Mr. McAdoo arrived at the hall. The ^ crowd cheered vociferously upon their ar- h rival. Mr. Randall arose nn<L advanced ^ with the chairman to the foot Tights. As y they did so the cheering broke out afresh 11 and" continued for two or three ? minutes. A voice shouted "Hur- '*j rah for "Watterson" and the 11 cry was taken up mingled with n cheers for Randall, and hisses. Finally ^ the noise subsided, and Gov. Blackburn, ^ half facing the visitors, delivered a short address of welcome, at the conclusion of n which Randall stepped forward to be again e'nthusiaticaliy cheered. ' He was '} in full evening dress" and spoke without (* manuscript at great length. ? TIIURMAN AND TlIK CA1UXET. 0 Strong I'rcKfluru in Favor of IUh Appointment?TIio Old ltunmn lii Gooil Health. Comjmhus, 0., Dec. 29.?There is evidence of pressure, being brought to. bear s upon Mr. Cleveland to have.hirn tender a n place in his Cabinet to ex-Senator Thur- b man. This pressure is strongest from h Washington, where it is said that a large $ majority of the Democratic members of Congress favor Thurman's appointment." Thev believe that such an appointment 11 would prove satisfactory to more t) Democrats of the country titan that of any h other man. It is also understood that h Mr. Cleveland favors Thnrman, but dis- o likes the knifing and back-biting he b would be subjected to from the little boss, d This lias, perhaps, deterred action up to 0 the present, but it is believed that if Mr. d Cleveland finds the little boss unreason* ably obstreporous he will take tbo bull by p tho horns at the proper time, and if be ti wants the old llornan as bad as he is rep- f< resented to, Thurman will go into Cleveland's Cabinet, no matter who says nay. Thurman is no blabber, and neither does he submit kindly to the visit of the ft interviewer. In fact, ho refuses to be 111terviewed on political subjects, but from other sources it is learned that Thurman 1 prefers to remain "hero in the midst of bis e friends, and live a retired life, free from n the toils amir cares of office. But if Mr. Cleveland should require his services, and , invito him to a place in his Cabinet, there (is no doubt but that Thurman would ae- t cept. Ho is not a candidate for any position, having bad his fill of public office, ' but if his country calls he will not, refuse. t Another thing: Should 31 r. Cleveland desire his counsel in any matter, it would be freely given, but it is hardly probable i< that he would make a* trip to Albany at this season of the year. Air. Thurman is in excellent health, and it is a subject of general remark that he is iookiug better now than ho has for the past five years. Ho is active, and his i! vears do not tell on him asmuch as might > bo imagined. He lives a simple, unosten- , tatious lifo, enjoys the society of his , friends, and takes the world as he finds it. Columbus would feel honored in his being called to a high position in Washington, and would take more pleasure in it than Mr. Thurman. He is not pushing himself forward, however, neither is he sulking in lm tent. This is believed to he about the situation of affairs. Should Sir. Thurman have received an invitation to a placo in the Cabinet of the', President-elect, it is very certain that he would not be proclaiming it from the'strcet-corners. He is 1 not that sort of a counselor, and never was. t "Warrant (ura School Timelier. wilkesuaiuie, Pa.4Dcc. 29.?A warrant 1 was issued this morning for the arrest of Miss Brader, school teacher at Nanticoko. j It is alleged by Patrick Shea that his son ( died from injuries received at her hands ( during school hours.

I.vdmnapoljn, Doe. 21).?l'or fourteen : years State Geologist Collett has beeu vx> IxirimoilUug upon a theory that tiio best of i iron, when subjected to continuous strain, would undergo changes in its strueturo Which would, aftor n tlmo, render its uso dangerous, and that theso structural changes were tho explanation o( many otherwise inexplicable accidents, particu- c larly to railway bridges. Ho has lately fl undertaken a systematic investigation, j which has resulted in n coniirniullon of ] his theory. For experiment he took from tlio Wubash dam, at Delphi a number of bolts und spikes, which were, when tho . dam wob constructed, of the best quality 11 of malleable bar iron, as is shown by tho J battering of the head wlicn they were i?ut i into the structure. Of theso bolts and spikes he found that 70 percent of tho .whole number were as. weak as cast iron, while 90 percent of I thoso which were near the bottom of the I dam were worthless; yet, of those which wera rotten, tho tins vlinro in?nrlinl In immovable rocks were fibrous and strong. When broken they showed polished ends to the connecting fibre#, indicating that the continued vibrations of many years tl had polished ami rounded the points of \ fibrous structure.-A similar effect is found . in "the partings" or "homjbacks" in coal 11 mines, which become polished and striated by the continuous quiver and motion of nt the crust of the earth. Dr. Col let t says 0j that all car axles, after a reasonable run, become crystallized two-thirds of the as length from'the hub and one-third from w the outside extruuiitv, rendering them ai worthless. is On one Indiana railroad bridgo he "< found that the bottom pnrtsof the vertical w; strain pieces were erystalized for from two ar to four feet in length*, and as a precaution hIi against what would inevitably have caused to a yreat catastrophe, they .were replaced. Ia: The matter is one of great importance to th railways, and the specimens which Dr. Col- re Jelt has collected in his experiments are to to, be sent to the Stevens Institute of Tech- th nology, where an investigation of the sub- th icct has been in progress for several years th by a scientist connected with the institute. mi IRON MIX Kits IDLE. m; Two TlionHnml Lahurorii In Katttnrn I'?an- fr< pylvunlii Out unemployment. ^ vKAuiMi, i'A., wtai,?in uie counues of Ilerks, Lehigh And Montgomery it is an learned I but nine out of every ten of the pe numerous ore mines have suspended op- |j| orations since tho first of December.

Among the iron workers in the furnaces a similar state of depression exists. The tl11 price of oro has come down wonderfully Bp" within the past year, and this accounts in Hd i measure tor the low wages paid for mining.
