The pea nut, which is so popular a
commodity that fourishing sale stands
are seen at almost every other street cor
ner in our city, has one peculiarity Of
growth which distinguishes it from all
other known plants. The flowers and
leaves are produced as they are in other
plants of the pea or bean tribe but hen
the flower has withered, the stem which
supported it grows rapidly IN curved
manner, bending toward the ground, into
which it penetrates, several inches. In
this position the fruit becomes ripened ;
and from this singular operation the pea,
nut has derived the name Of "earth NUT
in Europe. This nut is a valuable article
of food in many tropical countries, and is
extensively cultivated. Formerly it was
largely imported now we depend chiefly
on the crops from Virginia and the
Carolinas. 1t contains large percentage
of clear yellow oil, which is highly
esteemed for domestic purposes, and is
frequently used to adulterate olive oil
In Cochin China and in India pea nut oil
is used in lamps -Harper'S Bdzar.

The Senatorial election in the Fourth
district Of Philadelphia resulted in the
success of COL Henry w. Gray by a
majority of 89l over Col A. X. Mcclure.
Four of the nine wards gave majorities
for Gray, four gave majorities for Nc
Clure, and one (the 25th) was tie The
total vote pollcd was 23,733, falling of
of 10, ,54l since the October election. This
indicates that, as the contest was between
two Republicans, large proportion of
the Democrats did not 90 to the polls.
OF those who did attend, we estimate that
one third voted for Gray and two thirds
for Mcclure. Col Gray received his
certificate on Thursday forenoon, and by
five O'Clock on the same day had reached
Harrisburg and been qualified as a mem
Der of the Senate. The first result of his
appearance there was the election, on
Friday morning, of a complete list of Re-
publican subordinate officers for the
Senate, from the Clerk down to deor.
keepers. There is at last clear Repub
lican majority in that body, which with
decent management in our State politics
can be maintained for some years to come
Col. Mcclure, the defeated candidate,
does not acquiesce in the result, but
alleges that he is already in possession of
sufficient proofs of fraud at the election,
especially in the Nineteenth and Twen-
tieth wards, to unseat Gray and turn the
scale in his own favor TO this eud he
obtained an order of Court on Thursday
to enable him TO examine the hourly re-
turns and compare them with the voting
lists. He claims that enough false votes
were returned in the Nineteenth ward
alone to change the result. An applica.
ton to the Senate for committee to
investigate the facts is to be made this
week, and it will of course be granted.
The course taken by the Democrats last
winter In refusing committee in the
Dechert case, and decided by Dechert's
own vote, cannot be adopted by the Re
publicans. Mcclure is plainly entitled
to his contest, if he seeks it /; and if he
should be able to prove better right to
the seat than Gray the duty of the Senate

We shall not try to remember how
many flying machines have been invented
in our day, every one of them warranted
to sail the air successfully, and every one
a failure. Still, the determination OF
man kind to repeal the law of gravitation
remains unshaken and and an ingenious
man in Philadelphia, after four years of
cOgitation and experiment, is sure that he
has surmounted all the difficulties of aerial
navigation. His air-ship includes, of
course, cigar shaped balloon, from which
the car and machinery are suspended -
There is a copper globe filled with COM
pressed air, with small eugine driving

the compressed air. the paddles begin to

miles an hour, and you steer it by raising
and depressing the paddles aforesaid
The machine has been lifted "majestical-
ly," we are told, Gin a room," which is a
different thing from lifting it majestical-
ly in the open air The inventor is about
to take hall, exhibit his model, and in

ing built it, he will announce (this is our
own prediction) that on given day he
will travel through the air from Philadel

minary paragraphs will be published in

journey will come, when the start will be
postponed for some excellent reason then
