is not that you notice the marvellous
change which is taking place i'll the
two provinces SO much by visiting
small towns and villages, as by remark
ing the scenes on the railway between
Strasbourg and Paris. The influx is
surprising. The life stream seems to
flow on as if it would never stop. Odd
ly enough, Sunday is chosen by many
thousands as the period of their de-
parture, and on such a night the rail
way station at Strasbourg presents an
extraordinary spectacle. In their ankle

hustled and women screamed, and vo-
cllerated as only German-speaking pco-
pie can vociferate. For be it noted
that the majority speak the language
of the Teutons. They talk German
with no uncertain sound. The crowd
was composed of men III blouses, rud-
dyfaced women, and, lastly, children,
III whose faces we could trace wonder
at what it was all about, this strange
fitting from their sunny village homes
by the river o. mountain side"

A Wonderful Discovery.
From the Arpleton Crescent.

On Thursday forenoon last, as Mr.
VIM. Johnston's well-boring apparatus
was at work driving a well down on
the corner of Oneida street and Second
avenue, and when at depth of some
70 or 80 feet, subterranean stream
was struck, the water rushing past be-
low with considerable velocity, and
making roaring noise, which can be
heard at some distance from the we'll
The water runs in a south-easterly di-
rection, and is apparently but few
feet deep. BY tiIe use of looking
glasses bright light was thrown
to the bottom and the water
could be plainly seen rushing by
muddy, discoiored. A pail was let
down and some of it drawn up, in which
was found decayed vegetable matter
and sticks. The discovery has created
quite a sensation and all Appleton is
visiting the scene. Other wells ought
to be sunk, so as to determine the ex-
tent of the stream. The discovery was
made on Mr.. ID. S. JohnstOn's lot, and
may prove valuable one to the public
as well rs to Mr. Johnston. Who
knows but what this may supply our
city with water?
\ pipe was put down the well on
Friday, and gas proceeding therefrom
was ighted-buTning similarly to that
formerly discovered on Roudebush's
farm. just west OF the city.

The Banana,

This plant is an article of primary i'm
portance for the subsistence of man
wherever the temperature passes certain
point. OF its nutritive powers, ii is enough
TO say that an acre sown with it will sup
port more than fifty persons, whereas the
same amount of land scwed with wheat
in Europe will only support two persons.
As to the exuberancc of its growth, it is
calculated that other circumstance remain
ing the same, It's produce is forty -four
lines greater than that Of the potato. and
a hundred and thirty three times greater
than that of wheat. Unfortunately bananas
prefer hot climates to cool ones.

Ariesinn Wells IN CHICAGO.

Arteslan wells are multiplying in Chi
cago, twenty-onc of them having al
ready been bored, and in no instance
has a failure to obtain plentiful sup
ply OF water occurred. The well at
kenwood, just south of Chicago, /, 255
feet deep and five and a half inches in
diameter at the bottom, yields $50 gal
Ions per minute. 1t cost about 5000
Another well III the business centre of
Chicago sixteen hundred feet deep,
yields 525 gallons per minute and cost
81, 200 TIE usual depth OF the wells
is from 200 to 1900 feet, and the
average cost is $4,000 for a five
and half inch well twelve hundred
feet deep, and s., 600 for four and a
half inch bore of the same depth. The
surface pressure of the water varies
from % to 80 pounds to the square
inch, and the latter is sufficient to
throw stream TO the height of one
hundred feet. The deepest well in
Chicago is in the South Park, where
the bore, three and half inches in
diameter, has been carried down /, $40
feet. The comparative smallness of
the flow from this well is adduced as an
argument in favor of larger behring's.

done heretofore, make us an able and
faithful representative, But there are
other things to be'considercd before we
decide who is to be our candidate for

liant old Stewart heard our complaint

EDITORS CHRONICLE As the GU
bernatorial canvass is about opening,
it is high time that we, the voters, of
Montgomery, should select some one
as our county Representative, in the
next Legislature, and without detract-
ing from the merits or claims Of any
one, it is truthfully said by many, that
Mr.. C. L. Abernathy stands first and
foremost as a representative man Of
our county. What we want and need
is man of intelligence, energy and
integrity; one whose interest are iden-
tilted with ours, and who is above be-
ing influenced by any clique or ring !;
in short, one who knows his duty and
dare do it--such an one is Mr.. A ber-
nathy, and if he can be prevailed up
on to accept the position, we may rest
satisfied that the interests and honor
of our county are in safe hands.
This matter has been canvassed TO u
considerable extent, and he is the
man, is the general response in every
district. Beng well known all over
the county as an old citizen of UNI
doubted intellectual and moral quail
tications, as well as a man of splendid
financial ability, he has popularity
second to none and will be an honor
to any Office he may fill or community
he may represent. 1t is hoped by his
friends, and they are legion" that
Mr.. Abcrnathy viii give an early and
favorable response to this call, waiv-
ing for the time his native modesty,
and buckle on his armor to battle for
his State in her time of need.

A very large proportion of the Cuban sensa-
tons are deliberately contrived for effect on pub
lie opinion in this country; that is to say, they
are frauds. A few days since, dispatch from
Havana told us with considerable heat that
Mr.. A. Boyd Hender; on, an American citizen,
had been ioully arrested and imprisoned by the
Spanish authorities. And, to make the story
more effective, the dispatch added that he was
claimed as a native Cuban and an abettor of the
insurgents, although he was certainly native
born American, and an honest traveller. All
this news came as "special" to the Herald, all
save the embellishments, which may have been
added in the Herald office. There was mani
fest preparation for biz display of sensational
Cuban news" but, not long after the first dis
patch arrived, came another, saying that MIR.
