Current Notes.

Montreal is considering the proposition of
ventilating its poisonous sewers by connect
ing them with the chimneys ofbuildings con-
tanning steam boilers.
Bad as the record of the Republican ma
jority in Congress has been, the country can
not afford to try the experiment of Dem
ocratic majority. 1t has reason to hope from
the one better things in the future: from the
other it has much to fear.-BostOn Globe.
The st. Louis Globe thinks, in view of the
oyercrowded condition of the clerk market,
that there is too strong tendency of Amer
lean genius to mercantile pursuits" at
present; there are too many imported shoe
makers in the land. tH
The ALTERNATE IN. c. Times says that
ifany attempt is made to compel "white men
to submit to further tyranny on the part of
the Grant government, the six years of good
crops and fat hogs which we have in our
bellies will sustain us tor another four wears.
And there will be no apple tree"
The Philadelphia Press remarks that the
Tribune, (which once led the Radical col
umns, is surely and steadily following the
track and repeating the story of Andrew
Johnson" Poor old A. j., however, was

Oyening of the German Parliament.
BERLIN, Oct. 29.-The session of the Reich
stag was opened to-day by Emperor William
in person. The speech from the throne enumer-
ates comprehensive measures to bring about
uniformity in judicial administration The
speech concludes as follows
My relations with foreign powers ara pacific
and amicable. The tried friendship which
unites me with the rulers of powerful empires
affords guarantee for the continuance Of
peace, in which may claim your entire con-
fidence. Any temptation to employ the united
power of the empire otherwise than for defence
is far from my mind. This very power enables
the government to meet with silence all unjust
suspicious in regard to its policy" IA
The Great Western of Canada.
TORONTO, Oct. 29-The Globe has report of
meeting of the new board of directors of the
Great Western Railway of Canada held at
London. The report shows that the company
has outstanding liabilities amounting to some
1000, and that its working expenses amount
to 81 per cent. of the gross receipts. Mr.. Child
ers, the President, is about to visit Canada to
examine into the practical management of the
road, and to come to terms if possible with 9TH

The Dictate. OF Common Sense,

Persons who in most things are prompt to obey the
dictates OF common sense, too often neglect them
when they point to the necessity of promptly vital
izing the depleted body and the wearied mind. And
yet how foolish and dangerous it is to neglect such
monitions Disease follows closely on the track of
weakness and exhaustion Arrest his silent but rap
q stride by prompt invigoration The most reliable
agent that can be selected for this purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, paatable hygeian elixir
which possesses the true requisites for tonng regu-
atlng and tranquilizing both body and mind, and
which is besides, the chosen remedy of the American
people for relieving weakness or disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, as well as the numerous
array OF complaints which ultimately follow derange-
ments of these organs.

DIR. WILLIAM A HAMMOND of New York
has been investigating the experiments of ].
A. Brown, known as the mind-reader, and
thinks he has discovered the true explanation
of the seeming mystery. He believes that
the secret lies in the fact that when person
concentrates his thoughts upon one subject
he unconsciously gives some physical sign
when that subject is reached. The indica-
ton may be very slight and probably in most
cases would pass unnoticed unless the ex-
perimenter had had his senses sharpened by
long practice. He relates Gaze in his own
experience, where be was able to detect the
subject man was thinking upon by feeling
his pulse. DR.. Hammond wrote down list
of names and told person to think of one of
them, and then directed him to read over the
list and each time when he reached the name
he had selected it would be plainly indicated
by the pulse. r-.

FROM one of Mr.. Bailey's recent letters

Times takes the following extract which gives
the writer's estimate of Gen. Butler to show
the quality of the lying in which the New

press is engaged at the present time: ~
; Cutters friendship is more dangerous than
his enmity. The Republican party has suf-
fered greater odium on his account than
contract and the Jayne inquisitions are of
the same paternity. Ever the President
himself, than whom a purer man never held
public trust, is subjected to reproach on the
mere suspicion-unfounded at that-that he

AND now the weather wise are at it again
those fellows who make fun of s'Old Prob"
and are asserting with great deal of suffi-
cheney that we are not going 10 have any
winter during the next six months worth
minding. The prophetic muskrat has not
yet been interviewed, but the birds are larry
ing in our woods tola very late period and the
fishermen discourse something about partic-
ular kinds of fish to the effect that either
they don't come or go as usual-we don't
know which-and these little peculiarities
are sufficient to convince the clerks of the
climate that our New England winter isn't
to be so much of GOODNESS as some we can
recall. We trust, however, that until the
veracious musquash gives his testimony on
the subject that no trusting individual will
throw away his overcoat, or make his coal bin
the common property of the neighborhood,
unless he has so large bank deposit that he
can afford to be thus generous. The fact is
the robin has been singing spring notes in
the interior the past few weeks, and the blue
fish has fingered about Connecticut to enjoy
the perfect weather of October. Both will be
off soon because square winter is our surest

The New York Tribune, in review of
the building prospect in that city, takes a
gloomy view of The winters outlook for me-
chanics. A greater part of the winters
building has been begun and will be soon fin
shed, and the greater part of the builders de-
clare that when the present jobs are COM
pleted they have no further plans. The num-
Der of unemployed men in the city is already
very large and wages are considerably less
than year ago. Mechanics have profited,
however, by the experience of last winter
and the power of the trades unions is badly
crippled. Now half the workmen in New
York are willing to work for what they can
get, and fourth part dare to accept the
terms they can get without consulting the
unions. Some of the societies, recognizing
the gloomy prospect, are allowing their rules
to 60 unenforced and permitting their men,
bers to make the best terms they can.
