c;iic Ocean) correspondent Of tho Detroit
Tribune" The lacteous fluid Of the CO.
coanut can hardly be told from new milk,
and answers . good purpose in tea and
coffee. The meat Of cocosnut when
young is soft like jelly, sweet as cream
and delicious as custard. There are two
milks to q cocoanut-one the natural
water, the other artificial, produced BY
scraping fine the white meat and immedi-
ately subjecting its snowy flakes to violent
compression. The cocoanut milk is Gods
gift to a thirsty land, where no rains fall
eight months out Of twelve, and where the
springs Of water are all salt. The long
green leaves ofthe cocoanut tree, seldom
less than twelve feet and often twenty feet
from heel to point, when the midrib is di-
yided and the segments braided, make
door mats, bed mattresses, doors &c. The
same tough midribs with the palmets at
tacAed make the largest shingles, and
when stripped makes fencing lumber
ioists &c. The fibre Of the trusks Of the
nuts properly worked gives strong material
for cord, rope, halliard and hauaer. On
Gilberts Coral Island are species Of CO.
coanuts with an edible rusk which when
green every part is chewed and eaten, and
when the hask becomes older and tougher,
it is chewed and the juice swallowed like
sugar cane. With the Gilbert Islanders
the cocoanut tree is house, food, drink,
fuel, clothing, money and almost father
and mother. The cocoanut tree is in
blossom all the year round.

Hallet Kilbourn has the reputation of being
"about as smart as they make them, in his
line of business, real estate and note broker
age. He is reported to have expressed him
self as perfectly satisfied with the amount of
business advertising he received by the SIN

gress Is entirely on the wrong scent in the
case Of the person whose interest OF 5000
was repurchased by Kilbourn. According
TO report this person has no connection with
the administration or with parties or poll
ties. He put s. COO in the pool, on its forma-
ton, purely as an investment, and shortly
after be came to the conclusion that the
speculation did not suit him, and he resold

operation and losing the interest on his

The United States Senate has shown its
estimate Ofits own representative character
by Passing a bill TO erect the mOngrel and
Incapable Inhabitants of New Mexico into a
state. II a man is known by the company
ne keeIs, Senators may be supposed to esti
ma Re themselves by the kind OF Senators
they create. That Senators OF OhiO, Indiana
PeDnsy lvania, New York. achusetts,
aid other states. should put the small. mon
gTel, and ignorant population of New MeXi-
co on a par with that OF their own states, in
representation in the Senate, indicates a
pretty mean estimate of themselves or of the
people they represent.
That territory had at the last census but
9t,S14 Inhabitants. And this was less than
In 1870. But the quality Is far lower than the
numbe They are uHfit to maintain a state
goverIme and ought not To be hardened
with 10. And to empower them to send two
Senators is an insult TO the capable states.

done for supposed party gain. DO republic

democratic.

This is pretty sharp talk addressed 10 the
Senate by republican paper, bat IL report
be true the New Mexico ring" have played
sharper trick on the Senate than even the
Gazette suggests. According TO this report
they got the bill through the Senate by
promising that republican Senators should
be elected, and now they are engineering il
through the House by the positive assurance
that democratic Senators shall be returned.
The chances are, too, that the last promise
VIII be the one kept; for New Mexico is
quite certainly democratic in politics. so far
as IL has any national politics. The bill has
passed beyond the reach OF the Senate now,
and the "ring' in question can make any
Largain they please to secure its passage by
the House. An executive veto would of
course defeat their little game, but a veto
could not well be founded upon the mere fact
that bargain was made TO return demo-
cratic Senators.
1t seems 10 be supposed in some quarters
that, should the bill pass, New Mexico will
be entitled TO vote in the Presidential elec-
ton, but this is a mistake, as the requisite
local ratification cannot be obtained until
November.
