New York World (Dem.).I

| New York World (Dem.l.I
The Democrats of Massachusetts de.
serve credit for so clearly seeing the
issue of this canvass, and for meeting II
by taking Mr.. Adams, whose name and
lineage recalls our earlier and purer poll
tics, to be their candidate.
New York Herald tInd.)I
If there is any citizen who stands fore
most and pre-eminent in the first rank
of living American statesmen, that citi-
zen is Charles Francis Adams, and the
Massachusetts, Democrats have done
themselves credit in presenting so hon.
Ored and distinguished a name. Mr..
A A18ms's indorsement will encourage
and strengthen the Democratic party in
every State where 1t has any chance OF
success, and 1t will do more than any
other event which has yet occurred to
attract the support OF independent
voters.
Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.).I
By the unanimous nomination Oi
Charles Francis Adams for governor OF
Massachusetts, the Democrats have GER
tainly secured popular candidare-one
for whom any citizen of that common
wealth can vote, no matter what his
party politics may be.
Philadelphia Times Qnd.)l
The nomination of Mr.. Adams will
teach an impressive lesson to the nation,
and there are thousands Of doubling Re.
publicans who will pause afresh to in
quire whether they shall not follow the
plume Of him who was one OF the early
and ablest founders of republicanism,
and whose name is associated only with
purity, patriotism and honor In the his
tory of the republic.
Springfield (Mass.) Republican
The nomination of Mr.. Adams is the
smRrtest thing in politics this year, an
unusual visitation of common sense. II
compares the State ticket in detail with
the Republican, and pronounces it fully
equal if not superior in all respects, and
it indicates its purpose to favor its cleo
ton on grounds of State policy and re-
form.
New York Sun (Ind.l,1
In nominating go distinguished man
as Charles Francis Adams for governor,
the Democracy of Massachusetts have
given an earnest of their purpose, which
will be of incalculable value to the party
there and throughout the country.

An uncomfortable incident. which
formed the subject Of discussion at the
meeting Of the Royal Society at Edin.
burg, will probably give rise to wide
spread anxiety. A paper entitled Notes
on a New Fossil Footprint near DUN

about twenty feet from the surface in a
quarry three miles distant from Dunn.
fries. The imprint Of the hind foot
measured IS by 26 inches, aud the char.
acterisiic features Of the marks were the
welldeveloped claws and the oblique
toes, associated in the midst Of all right
thinking persons with the devil.
In the course of the discussion, Pro
lessor Huxley mentioned that, accord
ing to a photograph exhibited, the foot
prints in question seemed to bear a re
m%arkable resemblance to one found by
himself in the Elgin district in 1858
and, assuming the footprint TO be hat o

good people Of Dumfries to feel that
when visiting Scotland, he did not espe
cially visit their neighborhood, bu
prowlsd about the country either on bu
sineSs or pleasure, not continuing hi
warnings invidiously to any one particu

with his usual practice; and it will be re

Twenty thousand COWS are counted a
monster herd even down in Texas" said
a leading ice cream manufacturer to a
Times man. but the ice cream trade of
Philadelphia uses up the lacteal product
Of many more females Of the bovine ge.
nus. On a good day not less than
10000 quarts Of ice cream are manufAc-
tured in Philadelphia, using up 81, 900
quarts OF, plain cream, skinned from
100000 quarts OF milk. These figures
may seem steep, but they are really be-
low the mark. | know one manufacturer,
for instance, who freezes at his depot
1000 quarts on a fair day, and 5000
quarts at his place in the country. There
are six other large manufactures, with a
daily capacity Of some 5000 quarts each,
and at least two hundred small concerns
that make from 100 10 500 quarts per
day; and you must not forget the big
hotels and the innumerable private fami.
lies that freeze their own cream"
The Times man made a visit to one Of
these big factories, and found the force
hard at work freezing a forty-quart
churn Of cream every fifteen minutes.
IF you waAt TO see real freezing" sug-
gested the proprietor, come out TO our
place in the country, where we can turn
out 10000 quarts in twelve hours. We
have q large dairy Of our own, and boy
milk from the neighbors at four and a
half cents per quart. A run Of 5000
quarts will require 1000 quarts Of plain
cream, the substance OF about rs, 00C
quarts Of milk. Don't imagine that we
waste the skinned milk; for out Of that
we make 'skim-milk cheese, that rank
as quite a delicacy on %sbipboard. Phila.
delphia is by long odds the biggest ice
cream depot in the world. Why. W,
have to send for our milk clear to New
York, and we ship our ice cream TO Long

Chinese CottOns.

There are 45O, 900, 900 of people in
China, and all, men, women and child
rem, wear cotton clothing, both upper
and under. Allowing ten yards for the
outfit of each person, of cotton weigh
ing FIVE ounces to the square yard, we
have 1850, 900, 900 tons, equal to one
third the weight of all the iron consumed
in the United States in 1875. For many
years Manchester has been trying to sup.
ply these teeming millions with their de-
mand in all this cloth, but has so far
failed. As yet the Cinese prefer their
own homemade cloth, which is coarse
and clumsy in texture, but cheap, and
wears well.

price. Three years ago a piece of
property in this city belonging to a
large estate was sold under an order
of court and brought $4,000. The
heirs objected to the low price and
the sale was set aside. The
next year was sold again and
brought $4,000. The heirs had that
sale declared null and void. Quite
recently the place was sold the
third time, after being legally adj
vertised, and brought only $1,000.
This may be an exceptional case,
but it shows the tendencies Of the
times, the shrinkage of values and
the diStrust of the people in real
estate investments. What sane man
of common sense and unbiased
judgement will say that the classes
constitutionally exempt from the
ta~x-collector's duns are not affected
by this state of affairs and do not
indirectly pay taxes? Judge Bailey
asserts that the State Of Tennessee
pays in Federal taxes directly and
indirectly over $2O,OOO,OOO per an
human absurd estimate it is true,
but an admission that an immense
tax can be levied indirectly and COL
lected imperceptibly. Such blood
letting is not felt all at once, but
the effect on the body polite is
none the less certain and depicting.
If more money is taken out of the
State every year than comes back,
it is only a mathematical question
of time when we will get down to
the bottom dollar, just as it is with
the man who lives beyond his
means. With the exception of
Judge Bailey the most Of the high
State credit advocates denounce
all who differ from them as repu-
diators. We have heard this word
glibly banded about until it sounds
rather familiar, and if they keep on
it will in time lose half its terrors.
The people are willing to pay their
just debts, public and private, but
since the war have not been able to
do so, and all the high-sounding
political platforms and funding
bills ever conceived in the brain of
crafty bondholders cannot commit
them to an impossibility. Self
preservation is the first law of ma
ture, and if the worst comes and
the pound Of flesh nominated in
the bonds is demanded then we
must take care Of ourselves. Let
the outriders to the bondholders'
chariot bewarel

The quiet, amiable and blind gentle
man who is now stopping at Claridge's
Hotel, and would have been King of
England had not his cousin Victoria
been born, has certainly had his misfor-
tunes in life; but his lot is not 8 very un-
happy one. He has lost his sight and
his kingdom; but be has saved his per
sonsl property, and he has been blessed
with a large aud afe~ctionate family of
children. The King of Hanover is just
as old as his cousin Queen Victoria; and
although he is not so rich, he is rich
enough. To say nothing Of othe" re
sources, he has at this moment twelve
and a half tons of silver and gold plate
stored away in Coptts' bank. he is,
moreover, an English Prince, and he is
Duke Of Cumberland and Teviotdale,
Earl of Armagh, and a Knight OF the
Garter. He and his family have arrived
in England, apparently with the inten-
ton of making it their permanent home.
They probably have given up all hope of
ever repossessing Hanover.
