A Strong Legislature.

The new Legislature Just elected in the
old Bay State will be one of the ablest bod
les ever assembled in that commonwealth.
Among other distinguished gentlemen, We
notice the names of the following, who have
held prominent places in the affairs of our
country during the last quarter of cen
tury:
Hon. Caleb Cushing, late Attorney Cen
eral of the United States under Pierce's ad-
ministration-elected to the House from
Newburyport.
Hon. Marcus Morton, who was elected
Governor of Massachusetts, in 1841, after
twelve previous unsuccessful efforts, by one
majority, and again, in 1842, by the same
majority is elected to the House, from Taun-
ton.
Hon. julius Rockwell, formerly United
States Senator, and the Republican candidate
for Governor in 1855 against Governor
Gardner elected to the House from Pitts
field -
Hon. Amasa Walker, the distinguished
philanthropist, aud formerly Secretary of
State of Massachusetts-elect to the House
from North Brookfeld.
Hon. James II. Duncan, of Haverhill,
and Hon. Charles W. Upham, of Salem, re-
Gently distinguished members of Congress
elected, the former to the House and the
latter to the Senate.
Messrs. Gushing and Morton are elected
as Democrats, although Governor Morton
has, since 1854, and until quite recently,
acted with the Republicans, and Messrs.
Rockwell, Walker, Duncan and Upham are
Republicans.
1t is not often that men of this character
can be induced to accept such stations, and
Massachusetts, is fortunate in having such
men willing to take them-C Chicago Tribune.

Tie Caloric Engine.

Ericsson, the inventor of the calorie en-
gine, not disheartened by the failure of his
great experiment with the caloric ship
Ericsson" four years ago, has continued
to labor perseveringly ever since to put in
successful operation his plan of substituting
heated air for steam as motor, and we learn
from the New York Journal of Commerce
that his prospects of eventual success are
quite encouraging. Besides two stationary
engines, which bid fair to work well, a
beautiful yacht has been plying in New York
harbor during the past ten weeks, propelled
solely by caloric engine /; and although she
has been plying almost daily. she has con-
sumed only one cord of oak wook in all
that time-the engine being suited to either
wood or coal. Another remarkable feature
about it is, that after the fires have been
wholly extinguished, sufficient heat is re-
tanned in the metal of the engine, providing
it has been thoroughly warmed, 10 propel
the boat about two miles. The yacht is
about fifty feet long, and has an eight feet
paddle weel, which works about thirty turns
per minute, giving rate of speed equal to
about nine knots an hour. Although the
principle on which Eriesson's calorie engine
was originally built is wholly preserved. the
mechanism and arrangement are entirely
whole being reduced to a
never before attained IN any en-
gine.-Boston Journal.

The Industry of India.

Whatever may be the turbulence of some
classes of Hindoos, aud the Incidence OF
others, it Is certain that there are in India
persevering and industrious aborers. With
IN the last twenty years the amount of the
products of other countries. consumed IN
India has increased from $4,000, 900 to
$50, ,0O0, GOO, and her native productions
have more than kept pace with it. Every
nation which trades with her becomes her
debtor. In 1885, the surplus produce of
India was $40, COO. 600; in 1855 it exceed
ed S1s5. 100000. Last year the balance
due India for the excess of the exports was
s41, 900. 600. The specie mpoItations,
which may be regarded as sure indication
of the balance of the trade. have increased
from $4,000. 900 in 1916. to $50, ,0oo,-
600 In 1856. Such statistics show that
there Is progressive industry in India. which

A Funny Incident.

Owing to the enbarrassmentso of the Mas

the trains is sometimes attended with great
difficulty, and no little credit is due TO the
management for keeping them moving
North Wrenthan is wood and watering sta

sheds is under attachment. 70 procure
more, and store it there, would be to sub

must have wood. and when it arrived from
Blackstone, load was waiting, and was
hastily thrown on the tender without being

would have been to place it sat the tender
mercies of the creditors. So woodsawyer
was taken on board the engine and he piled
his saw vigorously all the way to Boston.
The sight was comical one. The monster
which the woodsawyer had attempted to

acquitted himself of his task like good
nurse, and when the monster halted, the
self-satisfed hiss of the escape steam show

The New Constitution of Oregon.

The new Constitution of Oregon bids fair
to contain some curious features. One of
these. prepared at the last dates in the Con-
yention, was to abolish the Grand Jury
system, on account of its expense and in
quisitorial character, and substitute therefor
the result of the examinations before JUS
tees of the Peace. Another is to make the
Governor ex-oficio treasurer of the State,
to have no Lieutenant Governor, and to make
the Secretary of State Governor pro tenn,
in case of the death of the Executive. A
third novelty is the limitation of the num-
Der of members of the State Senate to fifteen,
and of the Assembly to thirty, with bien-
NAL sessions. A fourth is the uiUa goce
system of voting at all public elections
This has been done all along in Oregon, and
is the old English plan, adopted thence into
Virginia, and from. Virginia carried west
ward through Kentucky to Missouri, and
Missouri to Oregon. There are some other
interesting features which may be briefly
stated thus: judges of courts are rem
dered ineligible to any Office other than
a judicial one during the terms for which
they may have been elected, and for one
year thereafter; towns and cities are pro-
hibited from contracting debts for any prir
pose whatever; banking charters are abso-
lutely prohibited, so that the business of
corporate banking will not be recognized.
