The unexpected gain Of a demo.
cratic United States senator in
Florida will bring up the regular
democratic strength in the next
senate to twenty-eight members
This is large increase from seven
teen. Nearly half dozen more
liberal republican senators have
been elected by democratic votes in
the different legislatures, and upon
pledges to oppose the measures most
likely to be insisted upon by the
administration. Thirty eight votes
is majority of the senate, and we
do not, after the success of Florida,
despair of obtaining them against
the extreme party measures of
Grant and his imperialist colleagues.

The Island of St. Paul,

This island, situated in the Indian
Ocean, very near Amsterdam Island, was
a French station for the observation ofthe
transit of Venus. 1t is volcanic crater
into which the sea has made an inroad by
a small breach on the eastern side. The
sides ofthe crater are precipituously steep
and form circular basin $50 meters high
and from 1000 to 3, 900 in diameter. These
sides are almost hot to the touch in many
places, and at low water numerous ther
NAL springs may be observed, which raise
the temperature Of the sea considerably
within tolerably wide range from the
coast. The weather is nearly always
cloudy but when the sun happens to shine
its rays heat the waters of the crater very
rapidly, protected as it is from the winds
All these causes combined produce con
slant and very active evaporation on the
surface of the water inclosed within the
crater, which may be likened to a gigan
tic kettle. AS soon as the aqueous vapors
reach its brim they are condensed by the
cold winds Of the open sea, and thus keep
I'D permanent screen OF haze over the
whole island The blue sky is sometimes
encircling the latter within a mile from
the shore, while the zenith is shrouded
under canopy of clouds extending from
Is to 80 degrees all round.

When once understood, "grafting'' is as

Disease is very various" said Mrs.
Parington as she returned from the street
door after conversation with DR.. Bolus.
'sThe doctor tells me that poor old Mrs.
Hare has got two bunkles on her lungs!
1t is dreadful to think Of, l declare. The
disease is so various. One day we hear
of people dying of hermitage ofthe lungs;
another day, of the brown creatures: here
they tell US OF the elementary canal being
out of order, and there about tonsors Of
the throat; here we hear of neurology in
the head, there of embargo; on one side
of us we hear of men being killed by get
ting pound of tough beef in the sarco-
phagus, and here another kills himself by
discovering his ocular vein. Things
change SO that I declare I don't know
