wIknow Governor Seymour. He has
q never been very popular with the great
wire-pullers of his party. The purity of
his priva life is known and admitted
by all candid men, He has none, even,
of the little vices. The slavery issues,
upon which l have heretofore voted
against him, are dead-things of the
past. As statesman ofnot transcendent,
yet of more than ordinary talents, yet
possessing the qualities of Kindness and
benevolence in an extraordinary degree,
united, with sound judgement, great eau
d tion, and extensive acquaintance with
men and events, with nothing of bigotry,
treating the acts and opinions of others
with charitable consideration, while de-
Tending his own with firmness. Mr.. Sey-
mour is a man eminently fit for the Pres
idency in this emergency. In time of
actual war ! would not vote for him un-
less assured he would have the best Gen
erals around him. In time of peace l
would vote for him, believing war almost
impossible while he should be President.
I shall vote for Mr.. Seymour because l
believe the country desires and can have
peace without any sacrifice of principle.

Death Of a Pence Advocate.

The London Star says:-
! "Edmnnd RPOtonie is dead To the majority
of readers of English newspapers we are all
well aware this announcement will seem to
have but little significance; but to no mCOu-
siderable minority the importance of the event
will be known to warrant 1T being publicly re-
corded. Potonie labored in the cause of peace
may be in part ascribed. He was one of those
men who bring unyieldmg energy to the initia-
tory work OF great movements, and who,
from the very intensity of their appli-
cation, are seldom heard of outside
the circle in which they are emOlOyed-men
Who dare to hold the doctrines which are des-

the faith on which they are founded is only re-

THE FRENCH ELEoroNs.-A Paris correspon-
dent referring to the general impression which
prevails concerning the decision of the Empe-
ror to call upon the people of France to elect
new Chambers soon after the close of the pre-
sent session, supposes the Emperor looks for
ward to the result with considerable anxiety,
as when some time since general elections were
contemplated, it will be remembered that a
pamphlet appeared from the cabinet of his
Majesty's secretary, reminding the nation of
the services Napoleon III had rendered society,
and the prosperity which had characterized his
reign. No doubt, says the correspondent, a
change has taken place in the feelings of the
people since they last sent deputies to Paris.
Frenchmen have recovered from that alarm
which the anarchy of the last revolution Gre
ated. They do not any longer exclaim, 'Let
the emperor do what he pleases; he knows
best 20 There is a desire to exercise more con-
troll over the acts and policy of the sovereign.
AS lar as observers can see, the next elections
will show very large dynastic majority, for
universal suffrage as exercised in France under
actual circumstances is a dynastio vote; it is a
vote for sovereign, ,Constitution-in fact Impe-
rialism. The Roman Catholic priests will take
a very active share in returning deputies to
the Legislative body. They have received
direct orders from Rome on the subject.

EFFECT OF EXPOSURE ON CoAL-Professor
Rockwell has called attention to the deteriora-
tion which coal suffers from exposure to the
weather, and to the importance of keeping it
as dry as possible. Anthracite suffers the
least, bituminous the most. According to the
experiments of Grundmann, coal exposed to
the weather in heaps lost during period of
nine months fifty per cent. Of its value as fuel,
and about as much as gas-making material;
it undergOes a process of slow combustion,
taking up oxygen and giving off the volatile
products of oXydation-air and moisture play
ing the principal part, and warmth promoting
it; the valuable combustible ingredients are
lost, and the injurious ones as sulphur oxy-
gen, and ash are relatively increased. Coke
from weathered coal is of inferior quality, los
ing its Conference. These facts have been
generally understood for a long while, but the
practice in some railway yards gives no heed
to the loss of heating values which coal under
goes from exposure to the weather. 1t is
found with no covering to shield it from the
rain, wind, and snow, and its exposure and
loss thereby seems to attract nOattention from
the very practical men who have care of
this department. Neither wood nor coal can
bear long exposure to the elements without
losing a large share of its real value as fuel

A French Soup. .Kitchen-Teedlng the Poor.

trencn up-hllCnen-Ieculng TIE BO0r.
The Paris Monttew gives some details about
the charitable Institution, the Prince Imperiaps
Soup-Kitchen. The principal idea the Emperor
appears 10 have had III view in opening these
Kitchens is that except in cases of absolute
need, assistance should not be gratuitous so as
not TO destroy the stimulus TO seli-eXcrtion and
foresight In times of scarcity the work zen
ought to be provided with cheap food and for
this purpose an economical service on a
large scale is organized, the general eX-
penses of which are covered by the great
nun Der of customers that resort to il. The
wOrkman's dinner generally consists of half
pound of bread, half litre of broth, two ounces
and third OF boiled beef and about penny
worth of vegetables, the total cost being IS
cent. Nov, at the Prince Imperial's SOUP
Kitchen the above price is reduced to 375
cent, or little more than half. A workman's
family, consisting of the father, mother and
three children, Will consume pounds of bread,
pounds OF meat, lire and q half of dry
pulse, quarter OF pound OF rice, and about
the cooking being done at home total cost 81.
Soc. This sum is reduced TO 2f Gle. at the soup
kitchen, beng saving OF II. 2iC.
AT these low prices lsQys the correspondent of
the London T3meS) The kitchen would Just cover
its expenses, but the EmperOr's vie VS. go fur.
ther, it being his wish to contribute some share
to the workman's comfort out of the privy
purse. To effect this each OF the above kinds of
food Is divided into portions of &c, each, 50 that
the single olkman will not pay more than 25C.
for the dinner above described, instead of 375c.,
ana the difference, l23c,, Is covered by the En-
peror's subsidy. In the same way a whole
family of five persons will only pay If. Soc, in
stead Of q. Gle. which makes a saving OF 2f. sc.
compared with the ord nary price, his Majesty
bearing q loss of sic. for each family.
During the SIX winter months the kitchens
are open, viz, from November to April inclu-
siye the daily average of portions served out
was 2l45; the lowest number viz, 1916, occur
ring in April. During the whole of this period
the portion of bread was sold at the kitchens at
the rate of 20c, per pound. The total amount
realized by the sale OF portions was last winter
342, 7l2f Soc; the outlay for the 20 soup lltch-
ems amounted to 4Sj,060f. 4Sc. The difference,
l42. 7l2. SOC, represents the Emperor's subsidy,
whose example has been folio we'd in Paris by
the Administration OF Public Assistance; at
municipalities; at Lille and other important
towns of the provinces by the authorities in
many instances aided by the Emperor.
