Wellman and Wood, then met in Palmer,
Mass, but deferred the publication Of their
report till the expiration Of the sixty days,

Romothing About Bla1no'o Early
I'll Days. &b h5

A GEORGETOWN, KY, correspondent Of the
Louisville Cowrjer- Journal has the following:
Speaking of schools, I am reminded that
James Gillespie Blaine, Presidential aspir-
ant, etc.,, III the years 184s and 1840 was q
tutor in the military academy of Thorten
+. J0hnSon, in Georgetown. The building
whers Blaine exercised pedagogical func-
tions ID known ~, "Warrendale," and 10
the sSatsofs Aourishing female seminary
under the proDrietsrship Of Mrs. Henry
Stevenson, very accomplished and esti-
mabls lady, Having learned that there
wers sornelof Blains's old scholars still ltv-
ing in GEORGETOWN, I was introduced to one
Of them, Mr. J, 81. Kenny, an agreeable
and shliging gentleman, who remembered
Blaine With much distinctness. The ex-
6peakerwas recent graduate Of Penn
sylvania college when he came to George
town, and quite young. It was bis frst
venture in che world, and he filed hiS posi-
tion - tutor in Latin and mathematics to
the satisfaction Of everybody. He was .
strict dtsciplinarian, and took deep interest
in tho progress of the young cadets, the
greater portion Of whom were the sons Of
Slavaholders in the Southern States. Blaine
st that time did not exhibit any pronounced
political proclivities; but If he had conscien-
tious objections to slavery he did not ex-
press them, - he pocketed his salary,
which was derived from the profits of slave
holding, with commendable promptness.

wooden Watch.

The Knoxville, Tenn, Ohrsnic. has this
account of 4 curious piece Of workmanship:
We were shown yesterday, BY Engineer
Mat Franklin, . wooden watch, made BY
Mr.. Dofiot, Of Bristol. The case Is OF brier
root, and the inEide works, all except three
of the wheels and the springs, which are
metal, are made of boxwood, while the
face is made from piece of the shoulder
blade of . COW, which was run over BY .
train and killed some time ago. It Is an
open-faced watch, with glass crystal, and
is an elegant piece Of workmanship, dis-
playing wonderful talent in the maker: IT
does not weigh more than ounce. Matt
says he has carried the watch day or two
and It keeps as good time as any watch ne

It is said that leading English chemist,
IL engaged in experimenting upon new
process Intended to render unnecessary the
process Of damping paper previous to ita
being printed. Such an invention, If sue
ceslful, will lead to important results
Wetting paper Is q troublesome and exPen-
sive process, occupying much time and re-
tarding the process Of job and book work.
Besides this, il INJURIES the texture OF the
paper, and deprives It Of IT, even and
smooth surface. "Wetting," when un.
equal, 10 often the cause of bad register, as
the paper "gives" in some places more than
in others. Az paper wetted has afterward
to be pressed to restore It's lustre. Whoever
succeeds in showing how to do away with
the damping process will deserve well o.

Deeiston 40 to Gas Fixtures.

Many purchasers OF real estate are un0er
the impression that If they purchase house
in which are gas fixtures, they necessarily
pass with the house. A recent decision Of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, however,
decides advcrsely. 1t says:
Houses are considered as finished BY the
builder when the gas fittings are completed.
If the tenant puts them in, it is not denied
that as between him and the landlord they
are his, and he may remove them, or they
may be sold as his personal property on an
execution by the sheriff. No doubt the
owner, X they Belong to him, often sells
them with the house. They add more to
the value Of the house than they would be
worth II removed. And If there Is no
agreement to sell the house as itis-axtures
and all-the purchaser Is not entitled to
them. IN

Proposed Telegraph Across Africa.

1t is proposed to carry a wire, says
the London Iron, to the Cape across
the African continent. There is at
present telegraphic communication
from Alexandria to Khartoum, dis
tance OF l 100 miles, and surveys have
already been made for its continu-
ance to Gondokoro. From Khartoum
to Delagoa Bay. where the South AZ
rican lines terminate northward, is on
ly about 1900 miles-shorter than ex-
listing lines on the other three conti-
nents. The route would lead under
the Victoria Nyansa and tTanganika
Lakes, and thence down the Shire
and Zambesi Rivers to the sea. where
a short ocean line would connect it
with Delagoa Bay or Port Natal. A
branch would go from Ujiii to Zanzi-
bar.
or the 1 800 miles or so OF serial line
1t is suggested that much might be
erected without the expense OF poles
by taking advantage OF the trees over
thickly wooded tracts, which are fire.
quent in tropical Africa. The diff
Guilty would be to keep the natives
from utilizing the wire in regions
where iron is scarce and valuable, but
this might be got over. The under
taking, IL it could be established and
kept in working order, would be ex-
ceedingly lucrative, and would In
many ways aid in opening up Africa
to commerce end civilization.

should have representation in elec-
tive boards. In 1870 he urged upon
the Legislature the passage of law
Incorporating this measure of re-
FORM" and the law was secured and
is retained, proving highly useful.
He carried the principle of minority
representation into his appointments
Of public boards and officers, and did
it to an extent that made enemies in
his own party He has pursued the
same policy in his third guberna-
toriai term, reappointing nine Demo
Gratis, appointees Of Gov. Allen, to
salaried positions in the penal and
benevolent institutions of the state.
In making out the Supreme Court
Commission he appointed three Dem
ocrats, and when the Republican
Legislature created a police board In
Cincinnati, the governor appointed a
Democrat on the board; and he has
had clever faculty in finding few
places for Liberal Republicans, who
are not now, understand, in posses
sion of party Of their own. Those
who have known Governor Hayes
longest and have had the closest op-
portunities for observation, are the
most positive Of his friends, in the
judgment that il he is ele ,ted presi-
dent. he will have very large infiu-
ence in the administration.

Indiana Refinement.

You labored under the delusion
that Indiana had Benjamin's slice of
American culture and refinement,
and now you awake to find, when you
look at the figures, that, when Indi-

she has not yet outgrown the plain,
sturdy conventional candidate that
belongs to the era Of log cabins and
blazed trees. Yes, you have some
culture. There is place down in
Montgomery county called Craw-
louisville. the home OF Lew Wallace
and the old war horse, General Man
son. Handsome place, with its shad-
ed streets and college campus. Be-
cause there are a handful OF men
down that way who can read Latin
and know something of geology and a

Crawfordsville- indianapolis there
may be fifty men who will pass for
thorough scholars, and other cities
OF the state can show scattering
culture in the same ratio; but while
hooppoles are the currency of
Brown county, while some counties
in the state have never seen tele-
