Austin, Jan, 10 — Move
than half the legislature is
here, and the canvass for the
various legislative offices is
exceedingly active. There is
no telling who is to be speaker,
but today it is found' that
Colonel McKinney has a bet-
ter support than he had ex-
pected. His friends now claim
the race is between him and
Mr. Foster.
Colonel Upton has. not ar-
rived. His presence would
encourage his supporters. Mr.
Foster has a very strong sup
port, and his friends think he
will go in oil the first ballot.
They are thoroughly organized,
and will make a fight
of policy upon important
questions with which Mr.
Foster has been identified.
Th're will probably in this
con test 4 be a test of strength
on the railroad question, and
perhaps on the penitentiary
question. It will, it is believed,
at the beginning, of the session
divide the House into well-
defined parties or factions on
the leading subjects of legis-
lation.
The Statesmen intimated
today that Colonel Upton was
the governor's candidate, but
it is a mistake. The governor
emphatically declares he takes
no stock in th^ election for
speaker, and that it would not
be proper for him to do so.
There has been street talk to
the effect (hat Colonel Upton
was the governor's favorite,
which probably grows out of
the fact that at last session
Colonel Upton was an influen-
tial supporter of the policy
advocated by the governor up-
on penitentiary matters. This
Members of the lobby think
there will bo a prolonged
session and a bitter struggle
over railroad affairs. It is also
understood the penitentiary
question, relating to the em
ployment'of convicts, will
come in for a lively contest.
Washington Jan. 10—Cap-
tain Eads left to day for Now
York. Before leaving he in-
formed Mr. Ochiltree and
Senator Coke that his agree-
ment regarding the Galveston
harbor work will cease with
the expiration of the present
Congress, if the bi 1 does not
pass, He has other éngag<
merits of such magnitude as
to preclude him from waiting
indefinitely for the action of
Congress upon his pending
proposition. He has strong
hopes of the success of the
measure if properly handled.
Washington, Jan. 10—Mr.
Ochiltree says he wants all of
the workers possible to come
and help the members of the
committee already here, and
that he feels confident of suc-
cess if his suggestions are fol
lowed.
grinding follows. The finely
divided pulp is then spread
out in thin layers on slabs,
and from twenty to twenty-
five of these layers are placed
in a hydraulic press, separated
from one another by sheets of
blotting paper, and are sub
jected to a pressure of 140
atmospheres, until all traces
of moisture have been got fid
of. The plates thus obtained
are broken np and soaked for
twenty-four hours in alcohol.
The matter is then passed be-
tween rollers heated 140 deg.
to 150 deg. Fahrenheit, whence
it issues in the form of elastic
sheets.

HOW CELLULOID IS MADE.
A roll of paper is slowly
unwound, and at the same
time saturated with a mixture
of five parts of sulphuric acid
and two of nitric, which falls
on the paper in a fine spray.
This changes the cellulose of
the paper into a fine pyroxy-
line (gun cotton). The excess
cf acid having been expelled
by presisure, the paper is
washed with plenty of Water,
until all traces of acid have
been removed; it i's then re-
duced to pulp, and passed on
to the bleaching trough.
Most of the water having been
*got rid of by means of a strain-
er, the pulp is mixed with
from 20 to 40 per cent of its
weight of camphor, and the
mixture thotoughly triturated
under millstones. The neces-
sary coloring .matter having
AN OBSKliVING MAN.
Some of the writings of tlio
late Baron Nestroi have been
published iij book form in
Vienna, from which the fol-
lowing are selected:—
'•I believe the worst of all
men, including myself, and 1
am seldom deceived."
"1 once saw a celebrated
race horse that had grown old,
hitched to a swill cart. Since
then 1 don't relish thinking
about my future."
"Poverty is undoubtedly
the worst thing in the world.
If I were offered a cool $ 10,-
000,000 in gold to be poor I'd
refuse to accept the proposi
•tion."
"I can understand why peo-
ple attend a ball, but why
anybody should give a ball is
something entirely beyond my
com prehension."
4;When, two wolves meet in
the woods neither of them hits
the slightest doubt as to what
kind of animal the other is
but two men never meet in
the forest without each one
♦inspecting the other of being
a robber."
"There is something irre-
sistibly fascinating in the life
of a spy. One enjoys all the
pleasures that a thief has and
yet i* regarded as an honest
man."

"The man who carves is
either a rascal or a fool. If
he keeps the b<\st, the choice
piece for himself he is a rascal;
if he does not he is an ass."

bune ill a recent number saye:
"Perhaps as strange an aerial
phenomenon a9 has ever been
experienced or observed in
the Northwest was that in the
Missouri slope Tuesday night..
At about midnight the entire
heavens were brillantly illum-
inated witji a bright, warm
light. It was a partial repeti
tion of the aurora borealis
display of about a year ago,
but much more wouderful
and unaccountable. The ex
perience to the pedestrian was

Sarah Bernhardt never had
fur of her sealskin jacket rub-
bed the wrong way so unmer-
cifully as at the critical hands
of Ivan Turgueneff. In that
famous Russian uovelist's cor-
respondence, recently publish-
ed at St. Petersburg, there
was found the following:
"Whenever I think of Sarali
Bernhardt I aui reminded in-
voluntarily of the toad. Why
did God give to both these
creatures en adorable and
poetical voice?" In another
letter he calls her an "ugly
mouther and posturer," "a
cold griinacer-pourrie de chio
whom nature has provided
with an adorable voice while
refusing her all other gifts by
some incomprehensible ca-
price."
