The Agassiz expedition, at the latest ac-
counts, was off Sandy Point Patagonia
Among the scientific curiosities noted by some
members of the party were immense quantities
of kelp, the 'Macrocystic pyrifera." This the
largest know alga or seaweed, and grows on
these coasts in from six to twenty fathoms of
water, in vast beds, warning the mariner to
beware near approach, unless he wishes to be
entangled in an inextricable network. 1t
throws up from the oceanic depths stems of
immense lengths, some of them from seven
hundred to one thousand feet the greatest de-
velopment reached by any member of the veg
etable race now in existence Patches of this
ises~eed were passed in open sea, with large
sea-ions lying on its surface, who were appar-
emily navigating in this novelHmanner with
much satisfaction to themselves, and afforded
much amusement to their scientific observers

Political Notes.

A Washington despatch says the effort to
obtain speakers among the Republicans in
that city for the Greeley meeting in New
York tonight even in the liberal ranks, has
substantially failed. Upton is the only re-
cruit thus far secured. Senator Ferry was
invited before his letter appeared, but an an
swer from him is not now expected. Senator
Schurz declines to make speeches for the
present, and it is understood that adhesion to
the Greeley ticket is contingent upon the
Democratic Endorsement thereof at Baltimore.
Mr.. Trumbull is not in speaking mode just
now, and it is probable that nearly all the
speakers from here will be Democrats. Not
single Republican member of the House
can be secured.
The Chicago Times says that at very
large meeting of colored citizens in that city,
Tuesday evening, the expression was unani-
nous in favor of Grant, and it did not trans
pire that Mr. Greeley had supporter in the
room I'd. l. Ga- -..-

The last European mails bring ac counts ef
fearful anti-Jewish riots at Smyrna in the ear
ly days of May. The outbreak had rise in
groundlsss rumor that Christian child had
been tortured and murdered by set of canni-
bal jews in obedience to religious custom
notwithstanding the public were admitted to
view the remains of the child, which died by
browning; Notwithstanding the Greek priests
PIoclsimed the truth from the pulpits and else
G Gneie' the Jews were set upon by the excited
ureek mob, which, with ali the rascality of the
Town II It's train, made for the Jewish quar-
ter, sacked the houses, murdered the inmates
ana committed other acts of brutal atrocitv.
Many jews at length turned upon their assa;l.
ants, and from attacked in self-defensa becon,a
attackers. Then the fury of the Greek rabh1e
knew no bounds; men were ficndisbIv baatar
women were violated, children even were nn,
spared, and day after day was the Jewish on, U.
ter converted into spandemonium of pIiaan
rape and murder. On the 9Th. Hamdi Pasta
the Governor, who had but $50 soldiers at hand
at the beginning of the difficulty, with which
to meet 5000 fanatcal and exasperated Greek
populace, succeeded in calling in eight battal-
IONS and checked the murderous mob.

The LEWISTON AND AUBURN RAILROAD.

The LEWISTON AND AUBURN RAILROAD
The Lewiston Journal says the engineers are
busily at work on the surveys for the Lewiston
and Auburn railroad. Two routes have been
examined, and are now being profiled and esti-
mated that a correct conclusion as to the prop-
er line to adopt may be arrived at. Both lines
follow the same route to a point beyond the
new dam of the Androscoggin Water Power
Company. One then crosses the Little An
droscoggin river and passes through the valley,
near Stephen Larrabee's and Mr.. Hackett's in
Auburn, and thence to the Junction in the val
ley traversed by the Maine Central railroad.
The other lineexamined, after diyergng from
the former, crosses under the Maine Central
line near the new foundry in Auburn and
thence by the Ryerson water power, on the
Little Androscoggn to Martins Corner, and
direct from there to the Junction, being a tri-
file over six miles in length, and some half a
mile longer than the other line. Mr. Reade
will have his plans, bprofiles and estimates in
readiness to present to the Directors early next
week. and after the route is selected the work
Of building will Immediately begin.

SUIT ON A PRoMIssoRY NoTE.-In the Super
or Court yesterday, before Judge Putnam, a
case was tried in which Samuel A. Way sought
to recover on promissory note of $11, 1884,
made by f. b. Smith and Endorsed by f. o. j.
Smith. The note provided that in case it was
not paid at maturity three per cent. a month
interest should be charged until payment
There was aclause providing that in case the
maker desired to pay before maturity he might
so do. There were also clauses setting forth
the conditional disposal of forty shares of rail-
road stock given as security for the loan. The
defence was that the instrument was not a
promissory note, but an evidence of certain
contract by which the indorser could not be
held. The case is to be reported to the full
bench for decision, and the presiding Judge
directed a verdict of $4,000 for the plaintiff.

LABOR REFTRM MEETING.-One of the lar
gest Labor Reform meetings ever held in Bos-
ton assembled in Faneuil Hall Friday evening.
About two thousand persons were present, and
both speeches and resolutions were noticeable
for conciliatory and manly character. The
meeting is not without Importance as in meas
ure defining the course of our workingmeH in
carrying out their fight for the eight hour con-
cession. The speakers, while deprecating
strikes in general, still considered them neces-
sary and beneficial as last resorts; but COUNSEL
ed workmen, whatever strikes might occur here,
never to resort to violence. Certain delegates
from the New York Unions explained that their
presence need be considered in no sense as in
dIcative of probable uprising here, but that
they were simply on hand to see what New
York bosses" might offer as inducements to
Bostonians to take the places of the Gotham
strikers. One of the resolutions adopted rec
comments that workmen demand of the City
government that eight hours be constituted a
legal day work for all its employees. The
meeting was enthusiastic, and the greatest in
terest was manifested throughout. = Boston

form, and stands tip-toe to greet the coming
But how expect reform from a President who
needs it so much himself? Who shall reform
the reformer? So, also does the country ask
for purity. But is it not vain to seek the boom
from one whose Presidential pretensions are
demoralizing? Who shall purify the purifier?
The country asks for reform in the civil service,
but how expect any such change from one who
will not allow the Presidential Office to be Sc
cured against its worst temptation? The coun-
try desires an example for the youth of the
land, where intelligence shall blend with char
acter and both be elevated by constant sense
of duty with unselfish devotion to the public
veal But how accord this place to a President
who makes his great office plaything and per-

See for one moment how pernicious must be
the Presidential example. First in place. his
personal influence is far-reaching beyond that
of any other citizen. What he does others will
do. What he fails to do other will fail to do
His standard of conduct will be accepted at
least by his political supporters. His measure
of industry and his sense of duty will be the
pattern for the country. If he appoints rela-
mage, making his Presidency "a great Gift En-
terprise," may not every office-holder do like
wise, each in his sphere, so that nepotism and
gift-taking officially compensated will be gem
esel and gift enterprises be multiplied Indefinite
ly IN the public service? If he treats his trust
as plaything and perquisite, why may not
every office-holder do the same?
If he disregards constitution and law in the
pursuit OF personal objects how can we expect
just subordnation from others? If he sets
up pretensons without number, repugnant to
Republican institutions, must not the good
cause suffer? If he is stubborn obstinate and
perverse, are not stubbornness obstinacy and
perversity commended for imitation? If he
insults and wrongs associates in official trust
who is safe from the malignant influence hav
ing its propulsion from the Executive Mansion?
Ii he fraternizes with jobbers and Hessians,
where is the limit to Generalization that must
ensue? Necessarily the public service takes its
character from Its elected chief and the whole
country reflects the President l .a-Eati
