BoBToN, Nov. 3.-The annual State election
approaches with remarkable quiet. Thcrc is
little interost in any part Of tho stato notwith-
standing that the political papers have. during
tile past few days, mado groat efforts to pro-
duce q contest. Tho dofeat Of Butler at
Worcester in September, and tho non,ina-
ton Of Washburu, abruptly ended what
promised to DO, when it opened, ono Of tho
hottest and sharpest campaigns OF many year.
Thore hayo been no Republican ratification
meetnga since tho Convention, and tho Demo-
crats haye made but two feeble efforts. Tho
last Of these was hold ut Worcester, tho othor
night, whom air: daston, their candidate for
ronce, an aspirant for Congress, aud ono of tho
foremost mon among the Democrats, made
violent speeches. and proposed to ovor turn
!, Coy. Washburn may not poll so large vote as
the remainder of tho ticket, Us tho oxtrome
liquor and tho extrome temperance mon arc
both dissatisfied with him. In tho nominations
for tho Legislature thero has boen little con-
test, in Bome SECTIONS, betweon those opposed to
the unpopular and absurd Prohibitofy Liquor
prohibitionists and, In others, bctwoen tho nd
vocates Of tho different plans for tho disposition
and usa Of the Hoosao Tunnel, which ia now ap-
preaching completion, and will require legisla-
tion this winter.
There hayo boen few local contests, mud In
two prominent Legislative districts boltore lave
put up their candidates and will probably win,
Tho most notable OF these cases il tho uomina-
ton of Gen. N. T. Banks. He has boen placed

Tho ten-hour men have put ticket for State
officers in the fold, though they havo held no
convention, and they have had some influence in
the representative caucuses.
The death OF tho Hon. William Whitney, repre-
sentative from the Third District, caused va

This Ia not 30 much on account OF his popularity,

A New SWindle.

You've men who think they would
"look nice" photographed in uniform
should take warning by the fate which
has just befallen an unsuspecting youth at
Kingston. While crossing Wimbledon
common few days ago, he met another
young man in an artillery uniform, and
after some conversation, the latter suggested
to him that he would "look nice" photo
graphed as an artilleryman, and pro-
posed to lend him his uniform to be
taken in. The innocent youth at once
gratefully consented, changed clothes, and
went to be photographed. While the
artist was engaged in posing him in an
attitude sufficiently military to suit his
warlike aspirations, his accommodating
acquaintance had disappeared with his
civilians dress. The sitter, however, paid
little heed to this, and, on the opera
ton being completed, walked on to
Kingston, proud and happy in the pos
session of military photograph "in this
style, only Is" On arriving at Kingston
his elation was suddenly checked by his
being apprehended as deserter, and
taken before the magistrates He sue
ceeded without much difficulty in prov
ing his innocence, on relating the trick
whicn had been played upon him, but the
clothes were, of course, claimed on be-
half of Her Majesty, and the man was ac-
cordingly detained until he could pro-
cure other clothing from his friends. He
then returned home with his photograph,
a sadder and wiser young man, and will
for the future probably mistrust the dis
interested anxiety of a deserter to see how
he looks in unform.-PaU Vdl Gazette

TIE RAIN-DROPS.

y FARMER had field of corn Of rather large ex-
In tending which. with anxious care, much time
and toll lie spent
Bat after working long and hard he saw with grief
and pain,
His corn began 10 drOOp and fade because it wanted

So sad and restless was his mind at home he could
But to his fields repaired each day to view his
whitening crop.
One day when he stood looking up, despairing, at
Two little ran-drops in the clouds his sad face
Glanced TO spy.
Il feel so grieyed and vexed." said one. eto see
him look so sad
l wish could do him some good indeed should
just see the trouble he has had, and if ii should
not rain,
Why all his toll, and time and care he will have

what use are you," cried number two '.to water

You are nothing but rain-drop, and could not wet

''What You have said" his friend replied Il know
is very true,
But I'm resolved to do my best, and more cannot
do.
'Iu try to cheer his heart a bit, SO noy I'm off !;
And down The little rain-drop fell upon the
farmers nose.
''Whatever's that:n the farmer cried, was it a

Now when the second rain-drop saw his willing
friend depart

But many raindrops by this time had been attract

Time Devoted to Meals.

DR.. DERBY states that the average time
occupied in the process of taking food
by the people of Massachusetts does not
exceed from twelve to fifteen minutes for
each meal. Such haste is injurious 10
health for many reasons. The process of
digestion begins in the mouth with the
action of the teeth, and through excite
ment Of the salivary glands by the pres
ence of food. Unless saliva is abundant
lv mingled with the latter, the first act of
digestion is obstructed and Natures plan
is changed. This fluid not only lubri-
Gates but acts chemically in the mouth,
if a reasonable time be given it, upon all
the starchy elements which make up the
great bulk of what we eat. Eating in
Air is to certain extent always en-
tangled in the saliva and assists digestion,
but when "wads" Of food succeed each
other very rapidly, they seem to act like
pistons in the tube leading from the back
of the throat, and drive before and be-
tween them into the stomach such
amounts of air as to distend that organ
and impede its functions. Another ehect
of eating in this way is that the masses
of food, imperfectly mixed with saliva,
become impacted in the Gsophagus,
checking its muscular action. which Is
obviously intended to propel only one
piece at a time This embarrassment is
overcome by taking at one gulp as much
fluid as the mouth will hold, thus distend-
ing the elastic tube and washing the OBJ
structed food into the stomach. All this
is unnatural and can hardly fail to work
mischief-Rural Nesc Yorker.

Wonderful Scientific Facts.

INSIGNIFICANT as is the spot we inhabit,
the zone of life-the area which not only
all that live and breathe and move inhab-
it, but in which all vegetation is contained
is still more limited. From the subma-
rine forest in the lowest depths of the sea
to the highest altitude to which the con
dor scars, above perpetual snow, is but
twelve miles. Within those scanty limits,
six miles of air above us, six miles of
water beneath, everything that has vital-
ty is confined If the salamander lives in
the central fire, the exception is so small
as scarcely to be worth mentioning The
air presses upon the earth with a force
equal to thirty three feet of water, and
upon every average human body with Il
weight of fifteen tons, which only does
not quash us flat as pancakes, because the
air surrounds us on all sides, including
our lnsldes, anu thereby tho ,voiSht is Le,I-
anced
To most of us, nature is one vast
mirage suggesting infinite delusions; and
even to the learned many things still re
main to be cleared up by slow-moving
science in future ages. Who would mag,
inc, upon the face of the matter, for in
stance, that, in an airless world, not
sound could ever be heard. On the con-
trary, in still and silent space, one would
conceive that we might hear pin drop
from the moon. Hawkshee demonstrated
the contrary of this fact in memorable
experiment before the Royal Society, one
hundred and eighty years ago. He placed
a clock under the receiver of an air pump,
in such way that the striking of the
clapper would continue after the air had
been exhausted while the receiver was
full of air, the sound was quite audible;
when it was empty, all was silent. Again,
when the air was introduced, there was
feeble sound, growing in intensity as the
air grew denser
At the top of Mont Blanc, the report Of
a pistol is no louder than that of a COM
mon cracker let off at the level of the sea-
"Above two miles," says Mr.. Glaisher,
who, as everybody knows, is an aeronaut
of considerable experience, call noise

more complete and solemn than in the
heights of the atmospherc-in those chill
ing solitudes to which no terrestrial sound

On the other hand, clouds absolutely
facilitate the transmission of sound.
Above a great city, to a height Of from
900 to 800 feet, there is always noise,
immense, colossal and indescribablen
The whistle of steam engine is heard at
10000 feet the noise of Il train at 8 200,
says NJ Flammarion; but Mr.. Glaisher
testifies to have heard this latter when 22,-
900 feet up in the air; the barking of a
dog and the report of a gun rise each to
6,000 feet; the shouts of crowd of people,
the growing of cock, the tolling of a
bell, to 5000; and the shout of a human
being to $500 feet.-Chdmbers' J01ty7tdt.

The Fourth Of July.

In the century which is now almost
completed since the declaration Of our
national independence, we can well i'm
aglne the event cOmmemorated in every
conceivable manner, in every country, by
every tongue, on land and sea, on noun
tain, in valley, in church and prison.
But to all that ever came under our
observation commend us to one in which
Abram Smith, Esq, counselor at law,
was the sole actor more than forty years
ago.
A late talented, but eccentric Chief
Justice of Wisconsin, whom we will
name Smith, was a native of Lewis Coun-
ty, n. Y. While law student at Sack
ett's Harbor, indignant at finding no pro-
vision had been made to celebrate the
national holiday, he resolved, as he told
his neighbOrS, to celebrate on his own
hook. Having provided himself with a
proper outfit-literary, patriotic and sub
stantial-he took a rOw-boat on the even
ing Of the Sd Of July, padded out to an
uninhabited island i'll the bay and
camped
AT sunrise on the Fourth he fired a ma
tiOnal salute; at ten o'clock he moved in
procession from his boat to a grove, where
he read the Declaration of independence,
and delivered an Grafton which was after
ward pronounced one Of the most elo-
quent Of its kind.
After the exercises in the grove he re-
formed the procession and marched back
to the boat, where he dined reading and
drinking the usual thirteen toasts, and
any number of volunteer ones; respond
ing to one, singing a song to another,
cheering another-the one to Washington
being drunk in silence, and standing.
Fortunately this toast came early in
the programme, for before the volunteers
were finished our friend remained seated
finally lying down in the boat, where he
went to sleep, and did not waken until
the next morning, by which time he had
f1oated some distance down the bay.
On arousing himself and comprehend
ing his situation, he remarked that he
was never more thankful than to find
himself where he could get such boun-
tiful supply Of water to quench his thirst.
