the supporters Of Gov. Beverage, and the
dissatisfaction is not confined to the farm

dates and their friends. The discomfort
is general, and Gov. Beverage finds him.

THE AERIAL TELEGRAPH.

The LOOMS Aerial Telegraph company
authorized by congress, is not yet even an
experiment, but it is subject full Of in
terest both to scientists and the public at
large. The primary object of the scheme
is to establish new system of telegrapby,
one which dispenses with poles, wires,
batteries and cups ard which calls into
use, as conductor, great natural
power which has long been waiting 10
be subjected to tho will and use of man.
This power is the electricity Of the upper
atmosphere, which the protector of the
aerial telegraph claims may be so operated
upon es to form natural circuit between
any two given points without the aid of
battery or wire. The frat practical sp-
plication OF the discovery of DR.. LOOMS
will be the establishment Of an aerial tele.
graph between our Pacific coast and China,
whose successful working opens up
another field for experimental science.
The availability Of electricity as motive
power has long been known, bu. the cost
Of producing it by artificial means ha.
prevented its practical application to the
uses Of machinery, etc. But there are not
instances wanting in which it is proved
that electricity generated by artificial
means performs certain kinds of labor
much cheaper and more satisfactorily
than can be done by man.
Tho streets of Providence, Rhode
Island, are now lighted by electricity At
an annual saving Of twenty thousand dol
lars from the old method. Tho burners
are now opened by means Of atmospheric
pressure, and the gas is lighted by cleo
tricity conveyed by wires reaching every
lamp post. All the lamps within cir
cult Of a mile can be lighted in fifteen
minutes. The object of the aerial ,elc.
graph is the development of the prnci.
pies Of natural electricity and its subversion
10 the uses Of telegraphy, machinery and
the generation Of hea! and light, and with
the revelations and achievements OF
science in these later years OF the weird
before ones eyes, who will doubt tina. thes,
results will be attained?

Catching Squirrels on Fish.Hook.

/ have caught with hook and line
nearly all kinds of fish, besides turtles,
frogs, ducks and other fowl, but yester-
day, while fishing for trout in the We'll
lingsby brook, in Plymouth, Mass, l
discovered new field of sport. While
/ had just taken out splendid trout
from under a rock, and was about bait
ing my hook, / saw good-sized squir-
rel Jump upon the rock. My pole was
of good length, and 1 improved my op-
portunity by placing the hook near his
head. At first he brushed it away with
his paw but after q while, either out
of spite or for love of the sport, made u
Jump and took the hook in his mouth.
At that moment "drew upon him, {"
and soon saw him dangling twenty feet
in the air. Such a dancing and climb
ing up the line and then down the POLE
was lesson to common fish. l finally
laid the pole on the ground, and then
came series of gyrations and various
antics. Not being acquainted with that
kind of fish, and fearing that any at
tempt to disengage the hook would be
bad for the fingers, 1 shouldered my
fish-pOle and marched to the blacksmith
shop near by, where, with the aid of two
assistants and pair of blacksmith S
tongs, the hook was detached and the
fellow set at liberty. Not three minutes
later, however, he was capering along
the fence as if nothing had happened

The Liquor Trade.

The organ of the liquor interests in
New York has taken pains to collect and
group all the facts connected with the
trade in this country. The amount OF
tax on spirits collected by the United
States in 1872 was $40, 457, 51636. This
represents about 100, 200, 900 gallons,
worth at wholesale $S5, 900, but
which brought at retail about $317, 900,
600. This aggregates money interest
of $500, 000,0 900. The beer trade pays a
tax to the Government of So, 573, 49S. 46.
This represents retail value of over
$212, 900, 900, which added to the value
of the article to the manufacturers,
represents a money interest of about
$500, 100000. The wine trade repre-
sents an interest of $75, 100000. The
import trade of liquors and beer and
wine represents retail value of liquors
of $27, 900, 000; Of beer, 81, 800, 900; of
wines, S135, 900, 900; or total of nearly
$165, 100000 Added to all this, the
capital invested in building and ma
chinery, etc., together with the expenses
connected directly and indirectly with
the trade, the footing is at least 81 ,50O,-

THRoTTLING THE PRESS IN GERMANY.
The high-handed manner in which the
Prussian Government treats the press
may be inferred from the following Incl

of the Berlin Tribune, satirical paper,
was seized and confscated by the police
authorities. The reason assigned was a
rebus, whose solution was to have been
Williamshaven. To indicate the first
word, William, picture of the Emperor
had been used. The Dogberries of the
police had scented some treason in this,
and instead of taking the trouble to ask
an explanation, at once suppressed the
entire edition. When the misappre-
hension was explained a few days after
ward, the copies were returned to the
publishers without even an apology,
much less compensation for the pecu-
mary loss inflicted.

FRANKLIN gave excellent advice to
people who desired success in life and
yet his rules were by no means infalli-
BILE. A nan may, by industry and
economy, accumulate large amount
of property, and in the end he may lose
it. It is one thing to make money, and
quite another to keep it. There is no
doubt that q life insurance policy in a
good company is good investment in
the majority of instances. The money
is paid when the family most need it,
and it is usually beyond the reach of
creditors. We do not hesitate to recon-
mend the New York Life Insurance
Company as one of the strongest and
best, to all who seek insurance Com.

Reduction of Rates.

There is no one thing which the press
in the large cities of the country has
been more uniform and persistent in
than in their persistent advocacy of
such reduction in the premiums charged
for life insurance as would bring that
protection from want within the reach
of every family. The National Life
Insurance Company of the United
States of America, E. A. Rollins, Presi-
dent, Jay Cooke, Chairman of Finance
Committee, capital larger than that of
any other life Company in the world,
has placed its rates at about three
quarters of those charged by most COM

of strength and cheapness, and we adj
