It is popular belief that lightning
has never been known to strike a
beech tree. In recent thunder show
er in Goshen, beech sand a maple
standing near together, with branches
interlocking each other, received an
electric bolt from passing cloud
which shattered the maple and passed
into the earth through a PROSTATE hem
lock tree lying near, which was strip.

No trace of the lightning was left upon
the beech.

A rather remarkable error has been
brought to light by the Alta California.
For many years every table of State
areas has set California down as cover.
ing 1873, ,9S1 square miles. All official
documents have perpetuated the error
which has been contained in the census
reports of 1850, 1860 and 1870. 1t turns
out, however, that the amount isstoo
large by more than one-hfth. 1t is
also a very curious fact that the
true area of many States still remains
unknown.

The RiRllt Talk.

The Wheeling Register thus says
TO Democrats who expect their party
papers to defend them under all cir
cumStances:
"They labor under a very grave
misapprehension regarding the duties
Of a party Journal. Their idea seems
to be that a journal of this nature
should be always anxious to conceal
the wrongful acts, either true or al
legged, Of persons belonging to its par
ty, even though those acts do tend to
the weakening of that party. Such
is not correct. The duty of a Demo-
cratic journal is to strive always to
keep the escutcheon of the grand old
party pure and untarniShed; to sit as
a faithful watch dog, guarding its
interests; to act in direct accordance
with the teachings Of the party:
principles not men" These are the
characteristics which should be at
tached to a party Journal, and there
fore it was clearly our duty to expose
the rumor tending to destroy the par
TVS good name, and cause the faint
to be either substantiated or explod-
ed

Tle SOWING gEnclnine Patent.

The Washington Sar, is thus We
hement: While the public mind is
occupied with scandals ike the Pa
cifc Mail affair, the operators in be-
half of the biggest lobby scheme Of
the session are working Ike moles.
This scheme is the application for
the extension of the sewing machine
patent. This patent, which has Civ
en- the sewing machine companies q
monopoly Of the business for twenty
three years, covers the flour motion
feed" machinery, and is so necessary
to the utility of a sewing machine
that no machines are constructed
without it, or could be sold if they
were.
1t has enabled the sewing machine
companies to defy all competitors,
and to keep the prices of sewing ma
chimes at an advance of from three
to four hundred per cent. on the cost
of manufacture. The patent has
boon already once extended, and the
application for a further extension is
an outrage on the community.

The Gold Drain-BuSineas at Bos,
ton.

A Boston letter says: French f.
nance is attracting more notice here
just now, from the fact that the pre-
sent drain Of gold from this country
to Europe is ascribcd by our best ex-
perts to the wise policy Of the Bank
of France in strengthening its stock
Of gold. To do this France has drawn
upon Germany heavily, and now
Germany is drawing upon the world
at large, and the stress falls upon us
because we have no means of keep
ing our gold at home. Some predict
another panic in consequence of this,
but business, on the whole, is better
from month to month instead ofgrow-
ing worse, and with the spring a
more positive revival of activity is
predicted. The first effect ofincreas-
ing taxation, as is propesedat Wash
ington, would probably be to make
buying and selling more lively for a
time. But Congress does not seem
likely to do anything this session,
and it begins to look as if an extra
session might be inevitable.

Talnagc Oh RaToncts.

We can only record with deep re-
sret the fact that last week the mill
tary intcrfered lx entering the shcr-
if office at Vicksburg, and turning
out the sheriff, who claimed to have
been elected. That this occurred in
the Southern State Of Mississippi is
not gcrmain to the point at all.
There is is no scctionali>m, no par
tisanship, in this question; it is one
purely national in character, and
must be considered in this light
alone. Whether or not the sheriff
was legally elected; whether or not
the election returns were properly
rendered. these and like matters
are side issues. having no relevancy
to the question at all. If the Gencr-
al Government may diSpersc the
Legislature of Louisiana: it may send
bayoncts into every capitol in the
States anddispcrSe the Governments.
If IN officer OF the army can turn
out a sheriff from Office in one city
in Mississippi, he can do so in every
city in the Union; and there is no
law but the law of might and the
will of the strongest. There can be
no true Republic while such proceed
ings are allowed; no constitutional
law administered by bavonets."-
Inter anna silent legcs" is as true
now as when written two thousand
years ago. Government must be adj
ministered in accordance with its re-
gular constitutional forms, or it be-
comes farce and law only bitter
sarcasm. It is in no mean spirit of
partisanship that we condemn the
proceedings, but only in that Of the
constitutional right on which alone
our liberties are founded, and by
maintaining which in its integrity
can these Liberties be conserved and
the cause Of Constitutional Govern
mcnt be maintained.-[ DIR. Talmage,
