Gentlemen of the House of Represen tatives: I would be unmindful, inldeed, of the promptings of a truly thankful heart, should I fail to make my first utterance in the position to which you have so kindly elevated me, an expression of deep and lasting gratitude .for that most highly distinguished honor. Human life and conduct have always been. and will ever gontinue to be, in fluenced and controlled by many mo tives and ambitions. In an attempt to serve one's State and people, an obli gation from which the humblest citizen cannot escape, however rude, imperfect or unsatisfactory the attempt may be, there is no motive or ambition more commendable, more fundamentally right, or more productive of legitimate rights than that whic.- strives to win their respect, esteem and confidence. save that, perhaps, which, in a broad spirit of appreciation, and the ua, swerving devotion and unselfishness which it begets, seeks, by all honor able means, to retain them. If I am justified in entertaining the belief that the kindness of -your par tiality which has so signally honC%, me, is to some extent, at least, an ev dence of the farmer, than before I shall attempt to discharge the Important dua ties which it imposest the hope must be Indulged and wiU, be continually cheT ished, that by a faithful andI consistent eHfrI may be&eritted.t carry with me through .life'the consciousness of having enjoyed the latter. Yes, gentlemen of the house of rep resentatives, to presi-de over the deli berations of this body-the chosen, trusted. a-d commissioned .representa tives of a truff~ greaf people-great in character, great in achievement, great in tradition, and far. greater yet in his tory-is no 'mean honor to seek and the delegation of that right no Indifferent trust to repose. When I reflect upon the brilliant at tainment and distinguished service of those who have preceded me here, the apprehension wich follows, I promise you shall only serve to intensify the hope that after its duties and responsi m:4:c e lai aside, that of the effort you may say. it was cons -ouS. that D the conduct was fair. courteous and im- I partial, and that the mistakes were honest. If that shall be your verdict. then the obligation which you place me under in your selection shall only be increased by your own generous sesti mate of its wisdom. Let us work to gether, for the prosperity and glory of our State. To this end may a D he jr. Wisdom and Providence guide and di- W rect us. I desire to again thank you for your distinguished consideration. Thos. C. Hammer was re-elected ge clerk of the house and was sworn In by to Speaker Smith. Col.

IS THE OLDEST CLERK, Kentucky Man Who Has Hold Office . for 66 ConsecutIve Years. tichard White of Kentucky is the lest clerk in the execative depart mt in Washington, according to a rrespondent of the Cleveland Plain aler. With the exception of a post Lster in New York state, who has !d his cfilce for 74 consecutive years, ite is believed to be the oldest man oint of service, as well as in years, the federal employ. He was ap inted in 1836, and therefore has ent 66 years in the service of the vernment..He was a personal friend -Henry Clay. and the letter of Mr. ay to President Andrew Jackson, commending the appointment of iy dear friend. Richard White," is on in the treasury department. Mr. White was born in 1814, anl us has passed the Biblical -term of man life by 18 years. In addition his record of long continuous serv , he holds another record that is thout parallel. Nearly every gov nment clerk takes the full '0-day nual leave of absence authorized by r, and the majority of them also ie advantage of the 30-day- sick We in each year. In all his experi ce Mr. White has never exceeded 10 ys in his adbsence ficm the depart mt in any one year. Throughott his nark-able career he has been em yed in the office where the acce' nts the postoffice department ar au ed. He was appointed .at a a -t r a rne m, he mw $1,000 a year, but five years ?ago, .ause of growing feebleness. he: was luced to $840. 'uditor Castle, In whose department .White is employed, says th4 vet L does his work to the satisfaction his chiefs in spite of his great age. iile no civil pension list is main ned by Uncle Sam, it is safe to say Lt Richard White will be assured of naning on the government pay roll long as he lives.

While the recent coal famine was uncomfortable fact Elliott Woods, )erintendent of the capitol at shington, was bombarded with gestions as to substitute fuel. re arc a few of them: "Storing the Lt from warm debates;" "tuie sea ed timber from which cabinets are cctd:" "planks from political con itiors;" "'somne of the dried old Sis in the seil~ate:" 2" logs * which rolled by all inembers, and the eps which are always taken to rem r all matters." 2AW'S HORN BLASTS, THE church that is not seekipg to -save is not serv the Savior.
