:ation upon nronautics. The author is j.
Bell Pcttigrew, of the Royal College Of Sur
geons of Edinburgh. Another volume is up
on the subject of "The Conservation OF Ener-
gy." The main portion Of this WORK Is ny
DIR. Balfour Stewart. 1t also contains an
appendix by other hands, and essays from
the pens of Prof Joseph l.. Conte and Prof.
A. Balm, both treating upon the topic which
gives the title to the volume. The third and
last volume Is entitled "The New Chemis-
try" and the author is Prof. Josiah Cooke
Jr. of Harvard University. |. is a collection
of lectures delivered by him IN 1872 before
the Lowell Institute, Boston, aiming to
present to an intelligent but not a profes-
sional audience the modern theories OF chem
istry. These works appear te be well fitted
to enlghten the inquting but unprofessional
mind, conveying knowledge which otherwise
would remain hid in the obscurity of volumes
prepared and available only for scientific
eyes Horace North has these works for sale.
We have received from Sheldon & Co.
a COPY OF a novel entitled ''Fettered for Life,
or Lord and Master" The purpose of the
story is to show the disadvantages, socially
and legally under which women are suffering.
Mrs. Blake has a reputation as writer which
will cause her book to be read. Horace
North has it.
Lee and Shepard have just issued "The
Italian Girl" by Katharine Sedgwick Wash
burn. This is tale of beautiful girl who
first appears as circus rider. Her after
career as related is full of interest, though
perhaps not so instructive as entertaining.
Horace North has it for sale.
We have received from Estes & Lauriat,
two numbers Of ''IIalf Hour Recreatiohs in
Natural History" One is part second OF
sInsects of the Garden describing these
rather troublesome things by pen and graver,
so that it is difficult not to make some ac-
quantance with them. The other is upon
the 'sOrigin of Metalliferous Deposits" con-
tanning also an article upon ''The Phenom-
ena of Sleep" The matter furnished in these
little volumes is worth;examination by investi-
eating minds. For sale at Horace North's.

THE CONNECTICUT ELECTION.

In an editorial upon the late election the
Hartford Courant says: "Yet il is fair to say
that the general result is dHe to the business
uncertainty and depression and to the repub-
lican dissatisfaction with affairs in Washing
ton. The exceptional vote in New Haven,
caused by the democratic split, does not
change this fact. The republicans stad
away from the polls in sort of disgust at the
drift Of affairs. The party in power has to
bear the burden of whatever goes wrong
and, reasonably or unreasonably, it is blamed
for the business stagnation and uncertainty.
Without thinking whether democratic VIC
tory would mend matters, under such circum-
stances, voters evince their dissatisfaction by
staying from the polls. If the passage of the
imitation bill by the senate yesterday, with
Merrimon's substitute, had taken place a day
earlier, it is probable that the democratic
majority might have been 2000 or 5000 more
than it is; and this in spite of the fact that
Merrimon is democrat, and that the dem.
ocratic party in Congress is as deep in the
mud as the republican is in the mire. The
result is not a vote Of confidence in the dem
ocratic party. That we can affirm from local
knowledge. Nor is it any evidence of want
of confidence in Mr.. Harrison. We could
not have had more popular candidate, nor
one more cordially liked. The regret at his
defeat among republicans is sincere and uni
versal. Even those who felt called only
mistake of judgment which they will one day
see, we believe-to ''rebuke the administra-
tion," in the phrase of the day, regretted that
they must do so at the expense of SO good
man as Mr.. Harrison. We are sadly dis
appointed that he is not to be our governor.
1t is our misfortune more than it is that he is
not elected outside reasons have made it an
unfortunate year, but brighter days will come
Under his leadership we should have won the
victory but for the national Encouragement
The republican party of Connecticut is still a
great party, and will exert its strength when
circumstances give il fair field.

General Butler was pretty sharply ques-
toned the other day when making his infa.
ton speech, by Mr.. Burleigh of this State.
The latter asked him how much more pur-
chasing power there is in the currency of to-
day than there was before the last twenty.six
millions were issued subsequent to the panic.
Butler long evaded direct answer. but was
finally compelled TO say something less than
one forty second Of one per cent. To this
Mr.. Burleigh said: "In the panic. with the
balance OF trade in our favsr, with gold being
exported, the Secretary CT the Treasury
thought fit to issue twenty.six millions in
amount OF greenbacks, which were then at
10Y. There were more than seven hundred
millions 10 the market. He reduced the yalue
of these greenbacks five per cent. at once
which was So. 000, 900. and run the Cavern
ment in debt SIG, 900, 900 in gold, and that is
the way we stand to-day if you take account
of stock as you would do in your own private
business" Whereupon Gen. Butler admit.
ted that BY this issue of twenty six millions OF
dollars the Government has run in debt TWEEN.
ty-six millions, while as the result of this
shrinkage of values incident TO the deprecia.

cent. of gold before the panic, to twelve per
cent. now, there is thirty-f five millions Of dol.
lars less in our safe or pocket to pay the
tweEty.six millions Indebtedness thus incurred
making d total difference of SCI 900 900.
Gen. Butler could not deny that this arithmc-
tic and logic were correct. Gen. Butler also
acknowledged that IL the banks had three
years notice that they you'd have severe
penalties imposed upon them if they did moi

A recent letter from Utah gives an account
the effort Brigham Young is making to re-
pair his shattered finances by the foundation
of an organization known as the Order of
Enoch. This order has a somewhat remark
able basis. Mr.. Young has discovered that
when Enoch was translated, the whole city of
Enoch was translated to Heaven with him, on
account of the holiness of the people. Now
in order to attain the same godliness, and, as
is inferred, to secure the same reward, the
first thing necessary, as Brigham assures his
followers, is that that they deed at once all
their property in trust to the trustee of the
Church of Christ of Latter Day Saints. In
this way they are relieved entirely of world
ly cares, and are allowed to give their atten-
ton to spiritual things. They become, by
taking this step, members of the Order of
Enoch aforesaid; their labors are under the
direction of the Church; and the products of
their industry go into the church Golfers, to
which, it is hardly necessary to add, Brigham
continues to hold the keys. In an intelligent
community such project would be consid-
cred very "thin," and the membership of the
new order would be exceedingly limited. But
with the ignorant people among whom the or
der has been introduced it is reported to have
been quite successful, and large number of
persons have decided over all their property,
and given their own services to enrich the or
der.

G0TERNOR DIX PROTESTS.

he says, ''the sense of rectitude would
have revolted at the suggestion of such an
act of perfidy; but persistence in wrong
and injustice rarely fails to reconcile FUR
Their wrong to the thought first and to the
purpose afterward. II, spurning away all
the teachings of history and trampling I'M
der foot all the maxims of political justice,
we adopt a policy as fraudulent as it is de-
moralizing, our successors will look back
on our conduct with humiliation and
shame. The millions of deprecated and
irredeemable paper, ifissued, as proposed,
will, by law of distribution which no hui
man power can control, be poured into
the city of New York, to uphold and slim
ulate stock gambling; to glut the chan
nels of industry, embarrass all honest
transactions of business; to cause reaction
in the various departments of labor, by
which the working classes are thrown out
of employment, and to shake to its foun-
dations the fabric of the public credit.
Against the introduction of such an instru
ment of dishonor and calumny we should
enter our solemn protest, as we would
against any other flood Of contamination"
These are bold, ringing words, not safe
ly to be disregarded. They come from a
locality where all the evils of IA dcbased
currency have been experienced in their
greatest force, as the history of Wall street
and the criminal records of New York for
the last ten ears will amply testify. What
reception they meet in Congress from the
advocates of more currency we do not
know Possibly it is thought that the mes
sage is an impertinence; we trust, how
ever, it will be received in proper spirit
and serve to check the reckless course Of
the expansionists.

The Washington correspondent ofthe New

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Times says "The Massachusetts, Rep
resentatives are very indignant at the course
of the New York Tribune in publishing the
speech Of the late Senator Sumner upon the
relations between himself and Secretary Fish
and the President, which Mr.. Sumner had
during his lifetime withheld. They consider
that the literary executors of Mr.. Sumner
have been guilty of gross breach OF faith,
and that the publication is very untimeiy,
especially in view of the fact that President
Grant has personally joined in an invitation
to Wendell Phillips to deliver an Grafton in
memory of Mr. Sumner in this city. The
circumstances of the preparation and with
holding of the speech were familiar to news
paper readers at the time, and it is known
that Mr.. Summers feeling toward Secretary
Fish had very much scftened during the last
few months, and it can hardly be believed
that Mr.. Sumner would himself have per-
mitted the publication of the speech without
very material notification
