Since the days of jackson, the New

has met with such acceptance in Con-
necticut as that of Tilden. and he will
carry that State by at least 5000 major

Here's authority for you. John w.

We learn through letter from a
prominent public man in the western
part of the State. that Of those Repubii-
cans who in 1872 voted for Horace Gree
ley, fully 80 per cent will now vote for
Samuel j Tilden-N Y. Sun.
Ex-Governors Palmer and Koernef,of
Illinois, Senators Trumbull an6 Farms
worth and Gen Black, of the same State,
all of them originally prominent Repub.
licans. are now hearing aloft the banner
of Tilden and Reform in that State.

three years of starvation to the laboring

they refuse it? Not much.-Troy

den is as wide as the gulf of corruption
that now overwhelms Me country
HAYES bases his claims as retormer on
what he intends TO do; Ti!den proudly
points to achat he has done in the way oi
reform.
The political battle in this State is be
coming exciting With Judge Stallo,

Prevention Of Boiler lncrusta.
lions.

Lesueur proposes the use of metallic
zinc as preventive of boiler incrusta
ton. Twenty Kilograms, introduced
into boiler Of 100 horse power, is suf-
ficient for at least three months. The
zinc disappears, and whatever is deposi-
ted from the water forms no crust, but
only a loose mass which can easily be
washed out. The mode of action is
not yet explained, but NJ. Lesueur op-
poses electrical force TO be involved. A
galvanic couple may be formed by the
zinc with the metal of the boiler, SO thai
little water would be decomposed.-
Thus q film Of hydrogen might be pro,
duced and continually renewed on the
surface of the iron, preventing the ad-
herence of any deposit.

Business Depression In Pittsburg.
TFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch

Whatever may be the cause, there is
no doubt that the depression OF lbusi-
ness in Pittsburg the past two years has
materially reduced the city's capital, and
ii it continues many months longer vii
tap the very fountain of her prosperity
and influence A few years ago Pitts
burg was considered the wealthiest city
of it's size in the country, and it still has
powerful financial resources, but they
have been terribly weakened of late. A

on Saturday made the assertion that the
city had depleted in capital at least TWEEN
ty millions of dsllars during the pas
two years. and there seemed no fall
prospect for the future.

WHAT WE NEED.

We need a reformation sure,
A turning to the right,
A man whose heart is true and pure
To lead us into light.
We need an honest President,
With wisdom in his ways,
A different man from U. s. Grant,
Or Rutherford B. Hayes.

SAN FRANcIsco. Sept. 2S.-Considsr-
able speculation has been rife for several
days past regarding the October dividend
of the Con. Virginia, in view of the re-
cent rumors concerning the liability of
its being passed. and that the surplus on
hand is not sufficient in connection with
the receipts of the month to warrant de.
claring dividend as usual. The man.
ayers of the mine here are very reticent
as to their intention, but it is reported
on what is believed to be good authority,
that the surplus is sufficient to pay the
dividend as usual, and carry over large
balance to next month.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 28.-There were
filed to-day articles of incorporation of
the Women's Mining Bureau. The Dr.
rectors will be Mesdames M. D. Kellogg,
H. NJ Cook, H. s. Kinyon, E. Swift and
G. j. Stevens. The OBJECT is very com
prehenslve and embraces the manipua-
ton of money as capital in almost every
variety of ways. but principally the OBJ
ject is buying selling and loaning of
money on mining stocks. All of the
women whose names appear as directors
are well.known as successful! operators
in stocks. The office of the Bureau ia
intended to be sort of an exchange
place where women can go and find all
published information regarding, not
only mining interests, but all sorts of
business interests. An indicator will be
placed in the rooms, enabling the mem.
| bers to follow the sales at the Stock
Board as they are made, and messenger
boys will be kept in attendance to per-
nit those who Wish, to send orders to
brokers. The membership is not to be
restricted to women; men also may join
and participate in the advantages of the
institution. The enterprise is said to
have found favor with many prominent
mining men.
