Sea.Slckness.

The English papers are again discussing, as
they have been at intervals for the last twenty
years, a proposed plan for preventing sea-
sickness. The %well-known Beasemer, whose
method of manufacturing stee! has made his
name everywhere famous, is just now repre-
scented as the inventor of the familiar Idea
that sea.slckness would be impossible were
the cabin OF a ship to be swung on pivots, 30
as to maintain is level in spite of the mo-
ton of the vessel. 1t ia by no mean certain
that, even could this invention be but In prac-
tice in such a way as to render the motion of
a vessel imperceptible, 1t would prove a sure
preventive of sickness 30 greatly Influenced,
as is sea-sicness, by the Imagination. In point
of fact, however, the proposed swinging
cabin would not render all motion impereeptl-
BILE. 1t might maintain Its level when the
ship rolled or pitched, but nothing could pre-
vent 1t from rising and falling perpendlcularly
with the ship. OF all the motions of q ship at
sea; this ls decidedly the most sickening, and
until some new invention can render 1t innoc-
rous, people will continue to be sea-sick In
spite,of Mr.. Bessemer.

Tho Late King of Sweden.

The cable announces the death of Charles
XIV, King Of Sweden and Norway. The late
King was born In 1926, aud succeeded hle
father, Oscar, In 1859. He was known as one
of the most patriotic and enlightened mon.
archs in Europe, and as possessing consider
able talent and excellent artistic tastes. He
published a volume of poems, of more than
average merit, In 1869. In his reign Sweden
has enjoyed profound peace. During the
Schleswig-Ho lstein war the people of his little
kingdom sympathized deeply with the wrongs
Of their %neighbors, Denmark, and would have
been ready at a word to have taken sides with
her against the mighty Austria and Prussia.
1t was well tor the prosperity OF Sweden that
her king was too wise to declare war at that
time.

Hard Times in England.

On this side OF the Atlantic, where wages
are high and work is plentiful, it is difficult
to estimate properly the distress which falls
upon the crowded and crowding peoples OF
Europe when the harvest fails and the cattle
disease spreads over the country. When to
this is added an unparalleled advance in the
cost OF fuel, the laboring classes are pressed
down to the ground, and the combination
OF troubles taxes the fortitude OF both gov
eminent and people. That the situation in
England, at this time, is gloomy in the ex-
IRENE, is shown by the following extract
from q leading article in the London Times
OF the 9Th:
There is a gloomy report from the rich
grazing land of Yorkshire-no mere rum0r
now, but a formal report, after examination
BY the Inspectors OF the East Riding and the
Prl7y Councll-that the rinderpest has broken
out and destroyed q herd of cattle. AS we
have already had the rinderpest, and may be
said to know the worst OF 1t, particularly In
this metropolis, we might think this only an
afterclap, or at most q passing shower. But
1t Is q serious matter TO have fresh reasons for
fearing that the rinderpest may have taken
root In This Isle, and established here one OF
those centres where 1t is said to incubate and
difuse itself. 1t is even more alarming 10
know that 1t may be easily introduced and be
found even where there is no apparent channel
or intercourse from the infected regions. We
haze already the foot and mouth disease in
most parishes In England. Though not very
formidable, 1t has caused much trouble and
expense, and contributed to raise the price of
meat. Beef and mutton are, zoe, belteUe. dedrer
then then haze ever been since the Peace OF 1916.
The potato crop threatens to prove In this
island almost ss q utter failure as 10 1s45.
Several correspondents have suggested modes
of realizing the crop or getting something out
of 1t; but, In fact, farmers and la6orers are
lops. A few weeks ago 1t was expected that,

The ~1ndia-Rubber Game.

In the coming Presidential election the
I~ndia:tubbeerr game is to be played. For
years there has been only one day upon
which to cast the vote, the well known hrst
Tuesday after the first Monday in NoVem-
Der. But this fall the old principle OF voting
until you get tired goes into effect
Voting for Presidential electors is 10 De-
gin in Louisiana on Monday, the 4th OF No
vember, be taken up by. the other States on:
Tuesday, the 5th, and continued by Texas
throughout Wednesday, the 9Th, Thursday,
the 9TH, and Friday, the 9Th; thus consumT
ing about one entire week In the operation.
The occasion OF this elongation of the cleo
ton is written. in two recent acts OF Con-
gress. BY that approved June l, 1872, and
entitled Gan act to prescribe the time for
oholding the election, for the electors OF
"~Presidentand Yice-President in the State
"ot Louisiana, y it is provided ''that in the
estate OF Louisina the election Of represen-;
s~tatives to the Forty-third Congress, and
srhe appointment. OF electors OF President
saand Vice-President for said State, shall be
ison the first Monday in November, In the
"year eighteen hundred and seventy'tWo;
"but thereafter such elections and appoint
tsment shall be on the day designated by
.law for the other States" This year o
Radical victory in Louisiana on Monday
may materially assist the Radical candidate
in the next days election in the other States;
thanks to the telegraph, which will convey
the news to every breakfast-table in the
country, and hence the above quoted excep..
tional law. The second act OF Congress
stretching the Presidential election after the
5th OF November, as the Louisiana act
stretches it before, Is one approved May 2S,
1872, and reads thus: "That il by the now,
.existing laws of any State the election
commencing on the Tuesday next after the
,s.arst Monday in November, 1872, for the
OF choosing electors Of President
land vice-President in such States, shall be
,~ssrequired to be continued for more thar
zone day, then said election shall be con.
sstinuod tho number OF days required by the
claws OF such State" The occasion OF this
statute is that peculiar provision OF the re-
constructed Constitution Of Texas, which re-
quires that in oil general elections 10 that
State 'lhe polls shall be opened for four
s'days, from 8 o'clock A. NJ. until 4 O'Clock
'P M. OF each day." Ordinarily Texas has
been quoted as an standardization
State, especially since the handsome Demo;
cratic victory in the Congressional election
Of 1870; but II trotting the blacks for four
days from county to county and poll to poll
can win the State back, this fall will see it
done. From Monday to Friday, from the 4th
the sth-both inclusive-of November,
beginning with Louisiana and winding up
With Texas, the Presidential election is to
continue this year, and a very pretty adap-
tation OF carpet-bag electoral elasticity the
job Is.
