rs The recent elections have made important
changes in the Senate. Mr.. Blaine is a notable
addition to the upper chamber. The election of
Mr.. Hill by the Georgia Legislature yesterday
adds an able and conspicuous figure to its person
net. 1t is a little curious that the changes of
few months have put Blaine Uis-a-vis with his old
opponent Conkling, and now have confronted him
with his recent antagonist in the House. Judge
Davis, though really independent, owes his
election to the Democrats, and is the first Demo-
cratic Senator Illinois has had since the death of
Stephen A. Douglas. 1t is a curious circumstance,
too, that Judge Davis did more than any other
man to secure Lincoln's nomination at Chicago in
1861 and his services in effecting the arrangement
that shelved Seward were recognized by Mr.. Lin
coin, who appointed him Associate Justice in the
Supreme Court. Mr.. Hoar will doubtless aspire
to restore the former prestige of Massachusetts, in
body where it has been represented by Sumner
and Wilson and Webster and Everett and Choate.
Mr.. Lamar, the eloquent Southern orator, will un-
doubtedly make a broad mark in the future delib-
eratons of the body. 1t is obvious, without men
tionng other accessions, that the Senate has gain
ed in strength and character by these changes.
And it is also significant that all the recently elect
ed Senators represent the moderate elements of the
parties to which they belong. The extremists on
both sides have been elected to stay at honey.

PETROLEUM ON SHINGLEs.-In regard to applying
petroleum to shingles to preserve them, a writer
says: at enters the pores of the wood at once,
and as it hardens makes it more compact in text
ure, and rather less liable to take fire. The pc
troleum also prevents the surface of the shin giles
from rising in dOwny fbres, or "fuz" and it is on
the whole not so liable to fire from sparks when
treated with it. We have tried the experiment
with shingles oiled some time previously, and find
they are not so easily gnited by outside fire, al
though when once burning, they will, of course,
produce more fame than the wood without the
petroleum" Petroleum is also very good to apply
to the iron works and steel of farm implements to
prevent their rusting when not in use. The crude
article costs but So 81 per barel-the price may
be high at present-and it is useful to keep on
hand. When any outbuilding, or even your dwell
ing house, is to be painted, One-half the expense
may be saved by applying coat of petroleum
with fine whtewash brush, let it dry several
weeks, and then put on one coat of paint, and by
so doing second coat of paint is rendered unne-
cessary.

A VERY VALUABLE WoRK.-The illustrated his
tory of the Centennial Exhibition, with full de-
scripton of the great buildings and all the objects
of interest exhibited in them. By James D. Nc
Cabe, author of "The Centennial History of the
United States" etc. EmbelIished with $50 fine
engravings of buildings and scenes in the great
exhibition.
There is universal demand for a work which
shall embOdy complete and carefully written ac-
count of the great Centennial Exhibition, sketch
ing its wonderful and varied features and present
ing to the reader not dry list of articles exhibit
ted but brilliant and graphic description of the
most magnificent display of the results of human
skill and industry ever gathered together. Such
want the National Publishing Co. of Philadel-
-phia - In is s1nnrh vnnnee II 10
from the :. weS-lEnown author, James d.
McCabe.
The book is a complete and vivid description of
the great Exhibition. The Author has written
from his own personal knowledge, having gone
through every part of the great Worlds Fair,
notebook in hand, recording the vast and varied
information contained in this work. He has
received the constant and sympathetic assistance
of the Centennial authorities, and has enioyed pe-
culiar advantages in its preparation. The author
takes through the Exhibition grounds, and
makes us familiar with every object of interest in
them. We are then taken into the main building,
and carried successfully through every
part of it, and through every building, large and
small, in the grounds. We are told the story of
the construction and arrangements of each of these
edifces, and the rare, beautiful and wonderful col
lections which they contained are graphically de-
soribed.
This work is invaluable to all classes of our peo-
pie. There is not another book in print which
gives one-fOurth of the information contained in
this work. To those who visited the Exhibition
it will be pleasing souvenir of their visit, and
will enable them to recall the magnificent scenes
they have witnessed. To those who could not
make the journey, the book is a necessity, for it
will enable them to enjoy the delights of a thor
ough acquaintance with the great Worlds Fair
in the quietude of their own homes
The work is comprised in one large and hand
some octave volume of s7S pages, and is superby
illustrated. The price is low, and within the
roach of all. The book is sold by subscription
only, and Mr.. Geo. Miller, who is the authorized
agent for this section, is now canvassing for it.

AS- During the late Presidential campaign

and SANDER at Secretary Robson of the Navy
with especial vehemence, and yet it seems that
after all he is an entirely innocent man, having
just been vindicated from all the charges prefer

lated against the National Administration to make
capital for that Immaculate reformer, Tlden, have
no better foundation in fact than those against
Secretary Robson, but it is doubtful whether
any of them will ever be retracted. The House
Judiciary Committee, charged with the investiga.

A SENSIBLE PREsENT.-Last year the Studeba-
ker Bros, Wagon and Carriage Manufacturing
Company of this city, presented each of their
army of workmen (about nine hundred in ally
with a twelve-month subscription to a weekly
newspaper, the employee signifying whichever pa
per he desired to take. The aggregate expense of
this token of good will to their workmen by the
company was a large sum of money, but theypr
pose to incur it again, and as preliminary step,
have taken vote of the force to see how many
would prefer turkey instead of the newspaper.
Only three of the entire number expressed a
choice for the turkey.
The course of manufacturing company that
will thus have for the intellectual well-be-
ing of its men, independent of their attitude each
to the other as employer and employed, in pecu-
MARY point of view, cannot be too strongly COM
mended. The so-called natural antagonism be-
tween capital and labor will have hard work to
assert itself when capital thus takes labor by the
hand and says, "Come up higher The example
of the Studebaker Bros, in this matter is worthy
of imitation by manufactures throughout the
country, and our brethren of the press would do
well to give them gentle hint to that effect by
bringing the one under consideration to their no
tice.-South Bend (Ind.) Tribune.

IsS~ The Baltimore Sun of late date, in no.
ticing visit of Gov. Carroll so the Boards of Re
view and Control of Baltimore, takes occasion t.
say that the Governor has "under consideration
measure to be submitted to the hext session of the
Legislature, looking to the appointment Of per
manent boards ofreview and control, each con
sisting of three more thoroughly competent
men for the counties of the State and the city o.
Baltimore. 1t is intended to empower them tt
review the assessment at all times so that fuctu
ating values can be equitably and fairly assessed
We hope if such a measure should be pressed upOr
the Legislature that it will be vigorously opposed
by the representatives of the people. Whilst il
might be nice "bonanza" for the Governors po
litical friends, it would be attended with great
deal of expense to the taxpayers without any
adequate advantages.

The WRONG CORPsE.-The "painful mistake
experienced recently at Lowell in the family of
Lieutenat Reed of the army was the result of an
undue solictude as to the final disposition of the
body after death. The wife of Lieutenant Reed
had died at Paris, it seems and what were suppos-
ed to be her remains were transmitted from Paris
to Lowell for reinterment, but through mistake,
which under the circumstances is extraordinary,
the body of another person substituted for that
of Mrs. Reed, the error not having been discovered
till the coffin, unfortunately, opened at Lowell.
During the late civil war son of q poor but re-
spectacle farmer of the State of Maine was killed
in battle The bereaved father not long afterwards
made application Mt the Accounting Office in
Washington for the bounty of 800 which under
the law would accrue to him the heir of the de-
ceased. He expressed an urgent desire that if
possible his bounty might be awarded out of turn,
as he was extremely DESTROYS to get the money so
as to procure the body ofhis son which was buried
upon the battle-ground. At that period there was
in Washington class of brokers or spectators in
the dead bodies of soldiers, who pretended to be
able to find specifically and certainly any body
that might be desired of soldier known to have
fallen in given battle; and for the sum of $40,
or Whereabouts, the body, duly ombamed, was
promised. The services of broker were engaged,
and q body, embalmed after the manner of the
times, was procured and conveyed with loving care
to the distant residence of the confding farmer in
Maine. Arrangements for the funeral were made
by the afflicted family; but curiosity, or some
higher and more sympathetic motive, having I'M
fortunately suggested the opening of the coffin, it
was discovered that painful mistake" had been
mado in the selection Of the body.-Boston Trav-

How THE ELECTION WAS CARRIED IN C1NcISNAT

How THE ELECTION WAS CARRIED IN CINCINNATI
A dispatch from Cincinnati, Ohio, dated Janu-
airy 26th, says:
"Hamilton county politics are being stirred to
the depths, and the result is spectacle of rotten
ness that shocks the people. To-day the Sheriff
of the county and his chief clerk arrested for
the abduction of the witness Charles Young, now
on trial for murder in Philadelphia Young was
captured in Cincinnati soon after the election, and
was on the point of revealing the whole conspiracy
of illegal voting when he was snatched out of the
hands of the officers one night, placed in close
carriage standing near, and driven off. Two of
Sheriff Wallaces tools in the plot to abduct Young
have disclosed the whole affair, and there is fair
prospect now of some politicians of standing going
to the penitentiary. 1t is shown beyond question
that Banning's majority over Matthews was fraud
ulent, and that three or four county officers who
were elected by small majorities have very uncer-
tain tenure of their seats. Republicans here
chatting at their defeat by repeating, and at the
brazen speech of Banning in Congress for an hon
est ballot box, are determined to probe the con-
spiracy to the bottom"
