PIRACY IN BOSTON HARBOR.

The following account of bold robbery inBoston
harbor is from the Cape Ann (Gloucester) Adver-
tiser of Friday:
"The coasting schooner Samuel Knights, OF
Eastport Me- which arrived at this port Thurs
day afternoon, reports that on Thursday morning
at half-past one O'Clock while lying off South
Boston flats, she was boarded by three men, dis
guised with canvas masks and armed with re-
volvers. They entered the cabin where Capt.
George E. Clark and his two men, George II.
Murray and George Beal, were sleeping. Cap
tain Clark was awakened by hearing some one
providing about the cabin, and seeing three men,
two of whom were engaged 10 lifting barrel of
-four, asked them what they were about. One of
them at once came alongside his berth, and draw
ing Colts revolver said he would blow out the
brains Of any one who made an alarm. The three
scamps then went to work and took most all the
available property in the cabin consisting of pro-
visions, all the best clothing they could find and
money as follows from Capt. Clark, $l05.75, and
from the men S2l. The provisions were worth
about $40 1t was very bold affair, and as they
left the cabin they told the men if they came on
deck while they were within shooting distance
they would blow their brains out. Under these
circumstances they deemed it best to remain quiet
until they were entirely ont of sight, when the
alarm was given"

Some of the papers are just waking up
to realization of the fact that in the late
election in California the republicans won
a decided victory. The election was for
State Superintendent of Public lnstruc-
ton. Originally there were three candi-
dates in the field, the republican. demo-
cratic and Independent. The latter with
drew. leaving II square contest between the
two old parties. The consequence is, the

on the first of September it will be remem-
bered that, with three tickets before the
people, the democracy had large plurali-
ties in most sections Of the State, and
chose their candidate for Governor by sew
enty majority over all. And now this is
reversed and many minor republican vic
tories for local offices have been achieved.

Mr.. Z. d. Mansfield, the "Veteran Observer"
of Ohio, reviewing the election there, says
"There was large detection from the republican
party on the money question, as is apparent from
the vote in the counties. This detection was bal
anced and overcome three ways first, by the
unusual turnout in the northern counties caused
by the school question; second, by the return of
the German liberals, and third, by the democratic
business men in the cities, especially Cincinnati.
These were intelligent conservative men who un-
derstood perfectly that any sudden increase of cur
rcncy could only derange business"
Senator West of Louisiana has arrived in WASH

would be in louisiana West is not certain, but he
fears that if encouraged by the democratic House,

PENNSTL TANIA.

The campaign in Pennsylvania is draw
inc to a close. Aweek only remains for
work. This is one of the States that the
demo Gratis confidently reckoned upon car
rving this year. Last year they gained IN
III, election twelve members OF Congress-
giving them seventeen OF the twenty
soyen members to which the State is en-
titled, against five in the Forty-third Con-
gross They also had majority on JOINT
ballot in the Legislature.
Under this condition of things the de-
mocracv of course felt certain of success
when the campaign opened. Following
the course of the democracy in Ohio they
made Initiation prominent feature in
their platform, and throughout the contest
their speakers have advocated that doc
,rine as Allen and Cary did in Ohio. In
deed it is reported that Uncle Bill himself
has gone to Pennsylvania TO speak ior
more rag-money. The republicans on
their part have spoken for homes. money.
meeting the appeals of the democratic
demagogues by sound arguments and can
did discussion addressed to the reason and
conscience of the people.
Next Tuesday the election will take
place The contest has been vigorous
and exciting, and the full vote OF the
State will be cast at the polls. 1t is prob
able that the State will 60 as Ohio went
for the republican ticket, but with a
larger republican majority. All signs go
to show that the tidal wave which started
in the West last year has completely SUBJ
sided. leaving the republican party in
condition sound and impregnabe. With
victory perching upon the republican ban
ner in the great States Of Ohio and Penn
sylvania. the prospect of a grand national
republican victory in 1876 is bright.
When republicans can sec as they are be-
ginning to see and will see clearly in a
few months. that they must support the
republican party or allow the government
to pass into the hands of the corrupt or
gauization known as the democratic party,
they win sink all feeling in regard to To-
cal, personal and other subordinate ques-
tions, and rally around the standard Of
their party with the devotion and enthusi-
asm Of former days.

1lfLAIION SCOICHEO-PERHA US
The imitation game is up, in Ohio, and
indeed, it would almost seem throughout
the whole West. There is to be another
election. where the democratic platform
contains the doctrine. namely, in Penn
sylvania. Here, also, as we believe. dis
aster will beiall the rag-baby concern.
There is certainly enough of the "Old
Hickory element left in the Keystone
State TO enable its voice to be given with
considerable power for hard money, and
for an honest recognition OF public in
debtedness.
How will it look. for instance. to see
tn, voters of Berks county going by
5000 majority for infiation-for an illim-
table issue Of paper dollars--when, only
few years ago, they followed the one
who could show the gold eagles, on cleo
ton day, almost devotionally. This. while
on the other hand, the electors of Lancas-
ter, arc advocating the hard money basis
by an off-setting vote of the same dimen-
sons We should think that the original
d. mocracy, after having educated US all
up to the position OF admiring the Benton
mint drop, ought to see to it that Berks
and Lancaster now go lovingly hand in
hand.
But the difficulty is, that the democracy
OF 1885 and that of 1875 are different
breed Of animals. The one was governed
by a steady adherence to principle, and
acted for the best interests of the country.
The other, bearing only the honored
name. has been wandering after strange
gods, became entangled in the meshes OF
reasonable sentiment, and now, whipped
and of forlorn appearance, is begging for
rag money by the hatfull.
If Andrew Jackson could only see what
is called democracy, at the present day,
we imagine his spectaeles would be found
ground to powder in his boots, and that
his favorlte expression of "By the Eter-
nal" would be ringing round rather live
ly.-Chronicle.

Bleaching Nuts.
SATURN.

The Philadelphia Herald says: Peo-
pie who are fond of salnpling hazel nuts,
or their still more delectable congener-
the tilbert-are frequently disgusted to
discover that what appears to be a
remarkably beautiful nut contains a
moldy and nauseous kernel. During the
last week many hawkers have been en-
gagged in vending hazel nuts, and there
has been more profanity among nut fam
ciers than ever characterized any pre-
vious week in our history. For the nuts
have been so tair and inviting to the eye,
and so rotten and repulsive to the taste.
A reporter&as vending his way through
Crosby street the other day. He had
been cracking golden f1lberts for an
hour, and had catered to his craving by
about five per cent. of sound kernels.
just behind the Theater Comique, up
frowsy, odorous alley-way, he beheld a
swarthy Italian engaged in violently
agitating the contents of large tub by
means OF u well worn broom. The re-
porter thought he might be washing po-
tatoes, turnips, or other. bulbs, and
stopped to make nOte OF the operation.
Suddenly hazel nut leaped clean out OF
the tub. The reporter advanced and
discovered that the ngan was washing
nuts. The Italian, by pantomimic ges-
lures indicated displeasure at the 1nYa-
sion of his den, and when the reporter
stopped and captured a piece of stray
paper, on which was label, the mans
eyes looked Indignantly. The paper was
labeled "oxalic acid-poison," and the
reporter, by aid Of that paper, has since
been able to crack the problem OF the
nuts. Oxalic acid, which is composed of
charcoal, hydrogen and oxygen, is a viz
ulent poison, and is used largely in the
81, Ill hi ~.
and willow work. 1t has long been
known that a straw hat may be rejuvi-
mated By washing it in a6solution of OK
alic acid and then drying it in the sun.
1t has the same effect upon the outer
skin or shell OF the hazel nut or tilberG.
1t is comparatively cheap, and as much
of the salt may be obtained for five cents
as will rejuvinate two bushels of nuts.
They are then dried, and to the most ex-
perienced eye they then look fresh,
sound, and tempting. When rotten,
furty nuts can be thus dOctored, 1t would
seem that there is hardly any limit to
the articles Of adulteration.
