POLITICAL NOTES.

The liberal republican state committee
met at Rutland on Saturday and issued an
address to the people. They have estab-
lished their headquarters for the campaign
at the Central house, Rutland.
The recent convention of the free-traders
and Others anxious of uniting on Charles
Francis Adams as a candidate for the Pres
idency at New York was not public, but II
is said that Edward Atkinson urged The
nomination of Adams, and that Greeley
was denounced by the majority of those
present. The convention finally united on
william S. Groesbeck of Ohio as candidate
for President and Fred. Law Olmsted of
New York for Vice Presidential nominee.
The movement is regarded MS of little con-
sequence.
II must be admitted, says the New York
Nation, that the nomination of Greeley by
the democrats will be on the whole, the
most ludicrous end which ever overlook a
great organization. We know Of nothing
in sacred or profane literature 10 which it
can be lillened, except the rush of the swine
in the New Testmaent, "down steep place
into the sea-" when the devils entered into
them.
Vice President Collax publishes Il card
declining TO be n candidate for congress-
man at large.
The Maine Republican State Convention
re-nomiuated Gov. Perham.
The Nebraska Democrats have Endorsed
the Cincinnati platform and candidates, AS
have also those of California, Arkansas and
Minnesota; while those of Alabama, Ken
lucky and Maryland exhibit decided
leaning in the same direction.

FACTS CONCERNING ToDA GOETHE New
York Commercial Advertiser furnishes
the following catechetical statement relat-
ing to the consumption of tobacco:
"Mr. A., how many kinds Of tobacco do
YOU recognize in commerce."
"Two chewing and smoking"
"IIow about SNUFF"
"Thats included with the chewing tobac-
co."
"To what countries do we export tobac-
cor"
1--WE send about $4,000 hogsheads to
France Ia hogshead weighs from 500 to L.
900 pounds, 10000 TO Spain, $4,000 to Italy,
$4,000 to Germany, 5000 to Austria and
from 30, 900 to 40, 900 to England"
"How much tobacco do we consume in
this country simply for chewing aud snuff
ing?"
$40, coo, 600 pounds. This at 10 cents per
pound would amount to S2l 100000; which
goes into the hands of the producer. S40,-
600, 900, should say, goes TO the retail deal
err. This for chewing and snufIing alone,
and that is only the commencement of the
story. You would despair at the smoking
statistics"
"Well, how many cigars were smoked
last ycar?'
according to Gen. Pleasanton, who col
lected the tax on them, there were 1892
BAG, 900 cigars used last year. These cigars
were undoubtedly Ictailed at 10 cents a
piece. So we smoked up in this country last
year Sl33, pa 600 worth OF tobacco"
GLOW much was spent for -four, then?'
80, / suppose about 5000, OOO,0OO"
Now that little Sl33, 22i 900 WIS paid out
for cigars only,-how much would it be for
chewing tobacco, SNUFF and cigars?'
"As near as can estimate 1t, abont $3.50,
OCO,OOO."

ONE OF THE Mosr EXTENSIVE CAVES in
the country has been discovered near Shut
ter's Corners, Schoharie County, N. Y.
party who visited II the other day, report
that they penetrated under the mountain
about mile and found an immense a
mount of the finest specimens and forma-
lions caused by the action Of water. Some
of the stalactites and stalagmitcs were
foot or more in diameter, and so clear that
petriiied stump, similar to those recently
found at Gilboa Qhe color being white),
was found about half mile from the en-
trance. Near the centre was dome about
100 feet in height, which, when lighted up,
presents a most beautiful appearance, it be-
ing covered with stalactitea of all shapes
and appearance. Owing to the water far
Their progress Of the party was prevented.
The pi oprietor intends TO procure a canvas
boat for the purpose of crossing this hith-
erto UNEMPLOYED sea, and expects TO find
the principal part of the cave beyond. The
theory is that this cave connects with what
is nown as Balls cave some five miles
distant. If such be the case, then there is
ample room for the most extensive cave in
the country being located some 800 feet
under one of the most massive rock for
nations in the state. The proprietor In
tends to take measures Immediately to
drain off the water, clear out the passage
ways, and make it more easy of access.
No trouble is experienced even now, for
there are only two CT three places where a
person is compelled to stoop little to get
through. The entire distance can be tray
erscd without any inconvenience. The
cave contains mineral spring boiling up
from beneath the rocks, the water Of which
has been Analysed and fonnd to contain
iron in large quantities.

The constructor does not pretend to be
able To make a direct movement against
the wind, but only TO deviate from its dir
ect set when running before 1t. He expects
TO be able to tack to the right or left, but
does not hope TO be able to beat to the wind
ward. There is n second balloon attach
ment to the bottom Of the main balloon,
forming a kind of compartment, occupying
about one-tenth of the cubic space of the
balloon, and serving to keep II stlnl and of
the required shape.
In the experimental trip of NJ. De LONE
half gale was blowing, and the result an
swered entirely to his expectations. The
screw drove the balloon about five miles
an hour quicker than the wind was blow
ing, and by the use ofthc rudder the course
of the balloon could be altered eleven de-
grees, either way, from the set of the wind.

The object in establishing this Institution
was to attain the greatest perfection in the

Remedies and to secure permanent place
where Families, Invalids, or any person could
obtain the best medical advice, and such rem
edies as each might require, without the use
of poisonous drugs.
DR.. Greene has been Physician of the lnsti-
tute since its foundation, now moro than
twenty-five years. Few men have had so
large experience in the treatment of chronic
diseases. DR.. Greene is in his fifty-ftth year
and has devoted his life to this branch of his
profession, and his success, we believe is with
out parallel.
Among the diseases to which he gives es-
pecial attention may be noticed Cancer, Scrof-

Disease, Neuralgia, Asthma, Nervousness,
Rheumatism, Paralysis, Spinal Diseases, Dys-
