"Tum ANSON HARDY CUTTINo MACHINES are the best and cheapest low priced machine made, and have a national repu tation for utility and durability."-The fectrotyper, Chicago. THE ANSON HARDY PAPER CU'rER is by far the best machine which can be ob tained for a less price than one hundred dollars. It is of great strength. These machines have always taken the highest stand. It is the only machine to which is applied the Patent Movablo Cutting Board. This device has a reputation of itself: by it, the cutting board can be in stantly and accurately moved, so that a perfect out is insured . This is a very im portant point in the machine, and one that is possessed by no other. It greatly reduces the labor of preparation in work ing the paper backward and forward. We cannot too strongly recommend the advantages of this patent movable board. It is worth the price of this machine, and purohasers should fully understand how Jiighly it is to be valued."-Geo. 1, Rowell & Co.'s Newspaper Reporter and Printer's Gazelte. TILE LATEST IMPROVED HARDY CARD CUT TER is pronounced the most desirable Card Cutter in the market, for the general uses of a printing office.

Conkling Putting in the Opening Wedge --How Morton's Influence was Nulli fled-- Why Blaine Voted as He Did Other Causes and Effects. Correspondcnce PI idelphia Timn. { A good many people in Washing ton, and no doubt almost everybody away from the Capital, were amazed to see how little party leadership amounted to among the Republicans when they came to vote on the con promise bill. Morton and Shormnan rallied but two or three respecta)le recruits. All the rest of their fac tion was made up of the shabby carpet-bag crowd from the South. In the House Garfield, Hale and Frye, who led the assault upon the bill, had a better following, but it was because when the measure got to that body its success was assured, and a lot of moral and political cow ards thought it safer to vote against it, so that if the commission should not count in Hayes they could say to their constituents that they had washed their hands clean of the doubtful business at the outset. Two causes operated in the Sen ate to nullify the influence of Mor ton. The first was the belief that the solid people of the country were in favor of the bill That would not alone have worked its passage, how ever, for it was evident that the Re publican politicians were everywhere j opposed to it. The party newspa per's were down on it. Every senator got letters and dispatches by the pocketful, from postmasters, revene collectors and ofliceholders of all othe. species, appealing to him to hold the fort. But the conviction was forced uipon all prudent minds in th - body that holding the fort was a very hazardous business when a faction within the walls were seeking to unbar the gates. The Republican majority had disintegrated on the question the question of the consti tutional way to count the vote. Not even the lash of party necessity could hold it together. Conkling it was who put in the entering wedge. Before the holiday he was morose and reticent. No body could get a word from him on the Presidential J uestion except that he was looking into precedeuts. He studied them so carefully that he accumulated a whole arsenail of weapons for use against the theory that the President of the Senat has the right to make the count and sort: the good votes from the bad Early I in this month he dropped his silent manner and spent day after city in i long argumentative private talks 1 with other senators. He was mak- i ing converts to his view that no , such right existed. Ferry thought ] t) )e.0 ito him j nd bring him around to the then orthodox belief by pnt ting him on the conference commit tee instead of Logan, who resigned to go to Illinois. This was a fatal mistake. It gave Conkling just the leverage he needed. He was no longer. a single member. of the Son- l ate, susp1ecte3d of disloyalty to his par ty, b~ut one of the p~owerful Council of Fourteen. He at once allied him-< self with Edmnunds and between i them they converted Frelinghunyson. Thus thcy threwv Morton into the ri diculous attitude of the one juror who said that he ncycr saw eleven such - stupid and obstinate men as his associates were when they all refused ~ to give a verdict to his liking. The scheme for pushing Hayes into the Presidency in the face of Democratic threats and lprotests had its throat cut by Conkling. Some sort of compromise became a party necessity. It only needed six Re~ publicans to join Conkling, Edmnunds and Frelinghuysen to bioik the majority in the Senate. More than that many were ready for the move mont--not because they wanted an alliance with the Democrats, they were as good Rtepufblicanls as any body, but thev could see more than an inch before their noses, They ~ believed that it wvould ruin the future of their party to put Hayes in by force with only the color of authority conferred by a disputedr constitutional interpretation as to ( where the power lay to count the Electoral votes. They had their own I] interest besides to look after. Most of them must be candidates for re election two years hence, and if the Republican party in the couintry i went into bankruptcy it would be.1 a poor compensation to, themn to have aye~Ii %g too $n9tlg9 SIt becanieevident,0,nt1g agg that th~e H{ouse eionrat ere" going to sftick to :their ao~rigi' ia1an of electing .and .inigura - Sildet in 'ce the Sa e .at, tk1ted to piit, " ay in by tv~,i its ptesidenteaunt thinta~ Strng. partisans of the Morton school rather liked this prospoot, but mvod. orato men hesitated to rush into any abyss they could not muL:taro. They saw endless possibilities of evil and no cortain good in the plan to choke the Democrats into subinis sion. There was still another con sideration inclining thom to a con prolise--a toleraLbly strong confi dence in the legal validity of Hayes' 185 votes. A tribunal of a judicial character would probably confirm his claim, they thought. At least, his chances would bo better than Tilden's MuBich wonlor is expressed that Blaine did not act with this class of sonators instead of with the Morton faction. All the ex-Speaker did for Morton was to cast a voto against the bill, and that ho did with a show o)f reluctance. Only the day before hle said to some friends that lio thought ho should support it. I have no doubt that ho wanted it to pass. All his interests lie in the di rection of maintaining the strength of the llepll)liCan party. They would be better subserved by the inu~maugration of Tilden than of Hayes, unless the latter can go in with a clear title. The bull-dozing scheme of Mor ton would have proven fatal to Blhmie's aspirations for the Presidency. Why then did ho vote against the bill ? Because lio knew it was going to pass. Ho know, too, that the active young Republican politicians of the country, in whose ,,yes ha figures as the Napoleon of American politics, were hostile to it, regarding it, in an unreasoning way, is a surrender. He had, therefore, either to vote against it or run the risk of losing the support of this muinenso body-guard of devoted partisans. If the commission seated ilden these men would never havo forgiven Blaine if his name had ippeared on the aflirmative side of the roll call. It was not statesman ship to act as Blaine did, but it was unquestionably politica' shrewdness. The coal supply of England is a nhief basis of her groatness, and the British newspao)rs consequently frequently discus. how long it will probably last. In 1869 the subject was fully investigated by the Coal Comm issioners, apd they reported hat her col measures at that time entained 14(3;480 millions of tons. l'his they estimated was a supply at he lowest calculation sufli cient for i0 years. Other estimates give ier supply as sufficientj for over 1,200 years, but these figures are )asetl on the belief that the annual onsumulptio;n of coal will remain tluost stationary. On the contrary ,his annual consumption is twenty millions of tons more now than it vas when the estimate was made. -angland supplies coal for all the vorld, Sending it even at times to this ountry. Hundreds of ship loads of oal go from British ports every 'oar to almost all parts of the Ulan tic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Plhe export to San Fran.irsco is ite large. It is only recently that he United States has begun com-. >eting with England to any extent a; a coal exporter, but wvith cheap olour p)ossibilition of increasing rado in this direction are very go at. A correspondent of the English V~echanic insists that musical ounds stimulate the growth of ilants. He gives an instance in oint. In a barren section of ~ortugal lho built a small conserva ory, and endeavored' to cultivate osos and other flowors under shel cr, but, in Spite of i. pvecautions adustry, they did not* lurish. )ne day he took a harmoni' into he groenshouse, and played' for everal hours. The *practice lie aintainedl for sover~al naonths, and va surpriscd to sob a 'gradual but apid recovery of health on-the p art f his plants. He attributes their miprovemnits to the .influence of rmsic, and unfolds the theory that ho singing of birds is conducive 'getab~le life.
