Mr.. EDITOR Things are going on in
this place pretty much as they have been
for the last month OF two past. Candi-
dates are flying around shaking hands
and smiling at everybody, while every
body is smiling at them to see how po
lite they have grown lately.
A person cannot complain of the length
of time between drinks, if he gets into

matter) unless he strikes some of temper

the polls and vote for them, without ever
asking are they honest, sober, industri

seek I! The very men who vote for such
individuals, must not be surprised if after
the election they find them Gerry busy
when they meet them, too busy indeed,
to talk, much less to invite them up "to
take something"

SINGULAR BOTTLE SToY.-Capt. Be0chc
editor Of the English National, has complied
within the last ten years, the following curious
voyages Of bottles thrown into the sea by ,uRr
fortunate navigatots A good many bottles
thrown into the sea next 10 the kfrieGlhcoast
found their way to Europe The bottle seams
to have anticipated the Austral Panama route,
having travelled from the Pana1aS isthinhs to
the Irish coast Another crossed the Atlantic
from the Canaries to Nova Scotia. Three or
four bottles thrown into the sea by Greenland
mariners on Davis Strait, landed on ths north
west coast OF. Ireland. Another one made a
very curious trip: IL swan from the Sjuth
Atlantic Ocean to the west coast of Africa,
passed Gibraltar, went along the Portugese
coast, the coast Of France, and was finally pick
ed up at ersey9 Island the direct linBHouches
at least all these places, and makes it more than
probable that it took this route. One bottle
was only found after sixteen years swimming:
one after fourteen, and two after ten years. A
few only travelled more than oHs year, and one
only FIVE days. This last was sent OF BY the
captain or the Racehozre, on thei17Gh Of April,
in. the Caribbean Sea- and was found on the
22d, after having gone through three degrees
of longitude in a western direction. Captain
Mcclure, ofthe Investigator, well known since
his discovery Ofthe Northwest StTait, threw q
bottle into The sea in 1850, on bis wav 10 Beh-
rings Strait. It SWAN 1900 niIesin 2O6 days,
and was picked up on tho Hondhfas-r -rtiass.lA
