Hartford, Connecticut, is making an effort
to establish manufacturing. A meeting was
held last week to consider the matter. A
writer in the Boston Globe, says:
Governor Jewell was one Of the speakers,
and zealously supported the object of the
meeting. He was in favor of small compan-
les, and said, from his experience as the own
er of stock in twenty-five manufacturing
concerns, that those with capital of 1000
to $4,000 always succeeded, while those of
a larger capital sometimes failed. General
Hawley, A. Z. Burr, Esq, editor of Times,
Hon. X. d. Hubbard, and others, spoke fore
IDLY on the subject. The result of the meet
ing was the adoption of articles of association
of "The Board of Trade and Manufactures of
the City of Hartford" Suitable rooms, CEN
trally located, will be secured and fitted up
for the accommodation of the business men of
the city. The board of directors will thor
oughly examine mechanical and manufactur-
ing enterprises, seeking encouragement and
location, and report to capitalists and others
whom 1t may concern thus encouraging the
really mertorious and discouraging the WIS.,
ionary and worthless. Manufacturing in
Hartford is 1t very low ebb, but this move
ment is received with so much favor among
prominent capitalists, that it is confidently
expected new era of prosperity will be in
auguYated.

The ''Prussian Hercules, as one Her Hol-
tum is called, is astonishing John Bull with
his feats, one of which is thus described: A
cannon is drawn by two horses into the hall
where he exhibits; he takes his stand twenty
or thirty feet from the muzzle; it is fired.
The conclusion shakes the building; cloud
of smoke envelopes the performers; when it
clears away he is found unhurt. holding the
marked cannon-ball in his hands. 1t would
seem at first that this heroic performer should
be engaged as catcher by professional base
ball club but his feat is, unfortunately for his
reputation, neither novel nor difficult. 1t was
certainly performed in England in 1916, and
this is the modus operandi: About two
ounces of powder are placed in the gun, then
the ball is rammed home, then the balance of
the charge is put in. When the gun is fred
all the powder is ignited, and the flash, smoke
and report are orthodox. but the ball receives
repulsion only from the small quantity of
powder behind it, and is thrown but very
few feet.

Delano, of the Interior, was there with his
force, the most dignified magnate present.
Spilled around promiscuously were Judge
Holt, Cameron, Casserly, with nose at an
angle of forty-fve degrees; Banks, with
new shade to his hair, called Paris in ashes +;
Professor Henry, with any amount OF cleo
tricity in his pockets; Speaker Blaine and
Colfax-dear Colfax! who came out and said
che felt sorry for the press; he knew how 1t
was himself before greatness was thrust upon
him."
And last, but not least, the Japanese. The
President had fixed himself in the right place
in the East Room. To his left were the great
men of his Empire. To his right were the
ten Eastern representatives. The first five
stood little forward Of the other FIVE, be-
cause they preceded them in rank. The first
five were dressed somewhat different from the
remainder. They wore garments which are
never allowed to be upon their persons except
in the presence of ruler of great nation,
and when engaged upon the highest diplomat
ic duty. This dress consisted of blue silk
shirt, embroidered with white, which reached
almost to the floor, just allowing the queer,
sandalled feet to become visible. This was
surmounted by black si,ken tunic fastened
at the waist, which did not allow the arms to
be of much use. The head was covered by a
courtier's hat of device indescribable, with a
long metallic ribbon-like streamer falling
down the back. A stranger costume can
hardly be conceived. Those of lesser rank
wore the same skirt and tunic, but the head
gear seemed to be made Of patent leather,
banded with soft white material, an excellent
invention for masquerade. The great am
bassador, in a sing-song way, read from his
parchment, whilst General Grant and all the
others listened. Then our President read
something to the japanese, Mr.. Mort stand
ing and looking quietly on. Then President
Grant introduced his Cabinet. There was nc
hand shaking. The Americans snapped theil
heads in the usual jerky way, but the Japan

AT THEIR USUAL TRICKS.

The Daily Monitor Of Concord charges the
democracy of New Hampshire with stupen-
dous scheme of fraid to carry the State. 1t
says its information is reliable and from vari-
Gus parts of the State. 1t declares that it is
reluctantly compelled to believe that John G.
Sinclair, chairman of the democratic State
committee, has actually instructed democratic
selectmen to exclude the names of as many
republican voters as possible from the check
lists, and insert thereon the names of dem
ccrats not entitled to the right of suffrage,
and assured them that if prosecuted for their
wicked and fraudulent conduct the democrat
ic State committee will defend them in the
courts, and indemnify them against all loss
and expense. There Is good reason to be-
lieve that the thing has been carried SO far
that an exact calculation has been made, and
selectmen have been instructed precisely what
number of republican voters must be excluded
from the right of suffrage in each town in or
der to secure the triumph Of the democracy
throughout the State.

RECEPTION OF THE JAPANESE B Y
TIE PRESIDENT.

An interesting account of the reception OF
the Japanese Embassy, on the 4th, by Presi-
dent Grant, is given in the Philadelphia Press
by "Olivia," a correspondent of that paper a,
the capital;
! Before the magic hour of twelve, Cor the
royal time Of day was chosen, ten of the jap
anese highest in power, accompanied by Mr..
Mori, the Japanese minister, descended from
their carriages and in single file marched
slowly into the Executive Mansion. Previ-
ously everything had been prepared for their
reception. The broad halls and great vesti-
bule had been reduced to excruciating neat
ness. The air was laden with the odor of
tropical exotics. Above the central part of
the great ottoman, in the Blue Room, arose a
pyramid of flowers composed of Japanese
lilies, birds of Paradise, and the long, dreamy,
pendent leaves of the Eastern fern Day
light, which was not considered quite good
enough for such an occasion, had been care
fully excluded, like the press, but like this
mighty engine, it managed to struggle in, or
at least enough of it for all practical pur-
poses.
Whilst all these things were in preparation
Secretary Fish came rushing in and seized an
unfortunate servant, who had accidentally
put the right fower-pct in the wrong place.
This was quickly adjusted and the Secretary.
left the place. Then Mrs. Secry Fish, swathed
in rlcolored silk, trimmed with the cost
liest lace, passed through the rooms. A lack
ey followed her with fear and trembling. As
near AS could be ascertained in the distance,
the hair on his head stood upon end, All at
once dulcet sounds were heard. "Take it
away" The servant stood terror bound un
til the lady said "Too much mignonette.
We cannot be too careful. Perfume is good
thing in the right place. The danger is be-
coming too common" The flower-basket
was removed, and the rooms were pronounc-
ed all ready for the ceremony.
First OF all Secretary Robson sailed in,
ana following IN his wake were the heads of
tue Navy Department, in their brilliant reQi-
mentals. As these were not the men who
distinguished themselves in the late war. the
people have no care to hear about them. ,Rut
their shining shoulder straps and other fnerv
helped to make the occasion brilliant, the
same as shoal of dolphins at sea ON a hot
summers day. Secretary Robson looked as
handsome and happy as could be expected.
Then came Minister Boutwell,, in white
choker and pale pearl-colored kids, closely
followed by that interesting old preenback
known as General Spinner. Then Spinner
was brought up by the heads of the Treasury
Department. and they stretched out until il
seemed as if it was intended they should rep.
| resent the s'crack of DOOM"
Then came the handsome Saxon Secretary
Of War, with his officers, followed by Cre:-
we'll and the post Office, and Attorney General
Williams and his "heads." The heads of the
Attorney Generals Office are men who have
blossomed, fruited, and now ought to be gath
cred and put into the cellar for future use.

TIE TOWNs ELECTIONS.

= The town and city elections which have
taken place indicate that the republican
party is as strong and active as ever
The passive policy, the labor reform
. dodge, the sympathetic appeals for mercy
and consideration for the minority, all
fail to break the solid ranks Of the repub-
leans. In very few instances has there
been any departure from party lines. In
many cases where the lines were broken
a year ago they have been restored, and
the democrats routed in consequence.
We point to Lewiston, Saco and Au-
burn, as imperfect places where the re-
publicans were unsuccessful in II and
victorious in ~. We know no town that
shows decline in the republican strength.
1t is safe to predict from the tests thus far
at the polls that Maine viii east as large
a republican majority in September next
a. in 1868. a..., 5-4i
Next Monday there will be many cleo
tons held, among them that of Augusta.
We trust the spirit which has brought out
our friends to the polls so freely and loyal
ly in the elections past will be continued
in those to come. 1t is only necessary to
success for every republican to be vigilant.
Town affairs have enough Of interest in
them to draw out every public spirited
voter, but the elections this spring have an
additional interest from the fact that they
are heralded abroad as indications of the
public sentiment upon national matters
Our elections already held have been com.
mented upon by the leading political pa
pers OF the country, affording encourage
ment TO republicans everywhere.
1t is significant of the general approval
of the administration and the stability of
the republican party, that the spring cleo
tiOns. wherever held. show republican
gains. In New York the gains are par
ticulariy noticeable, and in New lamp
shire they lead the way to the State cleo
