An Old Fact just Discovered.

A Washington despatch to the New
York "Tribune" is as follows:-
"An important discovery has been
made in regard to the legal requirements
of the certificate authenticating the re-
turns of Presidential electors. The act OF
l792 reads:-'The Executive authority of
each State shall cause three lists of the
names of the electors of such State to be,
made and certified, and to be delivered
TO the electors on or before the said first
Wednesday in December. and the said
electors shall annex one of the said lists
TO each of the lists oftheir votes In the
Revised Statutes the language of the first
clause is changed so as to read the Exc
cutive,' instead of 'the executive authori,,
ity.' The Executive is the Governor, land
nobody else, butt theexecutive authority
may be the Secretary of State, or any
other officer empowered by State law to
canvass the vote Thus under the form
of Il codifcation of the statute its mean
ing has been materially altered, aud an
importance given TO the certificate OF q
Governor, as in the Oregon CASE, never
tnteuIed by the original art.

Heavy Strike of Grain Heavers.

NEW York, February IA strike of
grain beavers in warehouse docks in
Brooklyn to-day assumed formidable pro
portions. The men, to the number of GOO
formed line, and with band of music,
at their head, marched around to the
docks where new hands were employed,
but by strict police vigilance they were
hindered from interTupting the workers
and were hustled off the docks. The
men employed on the docks at Harbeck's
stores struck this morning, in consequence
of a reduction of 25 cents per day in their
wages, and these went to swell the ranks
OF the malcontents. John Miller was as
saulted by some of the strikers to- day and
badly beaten. He was not one of the
labarers. but was mistaken for one. He
now lies in dangerous condition. The
men in the sugar house at the foot of Jor-
aleman street, Brooklyn, struck to day,
their wages having been reduced 20 per
cent.

OOstI'UctiH0 the Indictment Of

New ORLEANS, February 2.-Hon.
ore, Packard's Secretary of State, re-
fuses to obey the writ from Judge
Whittakers Court commanding him
to produce the records and original
documents filed in his Office by the
Returning Board. on the ground that
neither the Judge nor the Clerk for the
district had filed any oath in his office.
He says he regards the order and any
attempt to execute it as violation of
the Presidents status quo. All of
these officers were duly elected at the
last election, :there was no dispute as
to the fact, and they were returned by
the board. If Honore's point Is well
taken, there is no criminal court 10
this city, and there can be no valid
indictments of trials of criminals. vi
course the point is mere pretext
without any foundation in law. The
above action was taken in the matter
of the indictment of Wells.

CARE OF DAIRY COWS.

John B. Tomlinson, of Fountain
farm, near Newtown, writes as fol-
lows; II have seen in your paper a
good deal about gil!-edged butter and
cleanliness and other things connected
with dairying, but nothing about
keeping the cows clean. My method
is to grade the stable floor a little
sloping back from the manger; put
one plank lengthwise under the hind
feet of the cows, one foot wide, and
ill with clay up to the manger, having
drop of five inches az the plank.
Then plank the remainder TO the back
wall, having the rear little the high
est so as to throw all the wet toward
the drop plank. Then you have dry
walk behind the cows, and the stables
are easily cleaned. My cattle in the
yard do not look as if they had been
stabbed at all. In very cold weather l
do not let them out at all, but water
them in the stable. In the mornings,
as soon as we can see we give all milk
ers and dry cows. little meal; a little
hay and a sheaf or corn-fodder after
breakfast; toward noon, two bushels
of chaff and more corn fodder; and al
night hay and meal again. The milk
ers have four quarts of meal twice 8
day. When the weather is mild they
pick the chaff straw and fodder in the
barn yard, and 60 into the stable a,
full as ticks. stable all my stoct

A SHORT SUPPLY OF SUGAR.

Among the commercial and economi-
cal phenomena which have marked the
year just passed, we may note signal
falling off in the production of sugar at
tendsdIby asomewhat serious disturbance
in the market for that article. A glance
at few pertinent figures will show the
precise extent and bearing of this retrog
rade movemel at on the part of an impor-
tant staple.
The total product of sugar throughout
the world ten years ago did not much
exceed two million tons but by 1873 1t
had expanded more than fifty per cent,
being then computed at not less than D.
16S, 900. From this point to the yield OF
1876 occurs an abrupt shrinkage OF more
than half million tons, and, what Is
singular, the deficiency was not confined
to single quarter, but seems to have
been equally apportioned among the
sugar-producing countries. The eXten'
sion Of the Cuban insurrection to the
plantations in the centre of the islano
could account for diminished returns
from those varieties of the staple eXtrac
ted from the cane. A similar decline
however, was remarked in those parts o.
Europe which are accustomed to rely
mainly on the beet root for their supplies
Thus, to cite the exact data, cane sugar
which a year before touched its maXimum
contribution of 100000 tons, was credi
ted in 1876 with only 100000, while pee
sugar fell off in the same short pero'
from 1850 600 to l ,660, 900 tons.

A MODEL. MAIDEN.

IT'S not alone that She is fair.
And hath wealth of golden hair,
IT'S not that she can play and sing, ..
To charm a critic or a king;
IT'S not that she Is gentle, kind.
And wears no chignon huge, behind,
rhigh-hecled boot, nor corset laced.

'Tis not that she can talk with ease
On well nigh any theme you please;
lis not that she can row and ride.
And do dozen things beside;
The reasons why l love Miss Brown
Are that she never wears a frown,
Meier sulks, or pouts, or mopes or frets
Or fuses about "styles" or "sets;"
Ne'cr nurses lap-dogs by the fire,
Nor bids her friends her charms admire;
Ne'er bets upon the Derby day.
And when she's lost omits to pay;
BY bonnets does not bound her talk.
And is not indlsposed to walk;
Ne'cr bullics her small brothers, nor
Esteems their childish games a bore;
With pigments ne'er her cheek defilcs,
Nor practices coquetish wiles.
Needs not maid to pack her things,
Nor plaques papa for diamond rings;
On biscuit Is content to lunch;
Love Shakespeare, Milton, Pope and Punch
Never descends to vulgar slang,
And never was known to shut the dool

HOW A FORGER PAID WM. M.
FVARTS ...r

The most clever forgeries which had
been ever known, up to the time of their
occurrence, were those of Monroe Ed
ward. This man really possessed COM
mercial genius, and had he devoted him
self to legitimate business he would have
become merchanc prince. He preferred
fraud, however, and bore the consequence
1t is thirty-four years since Monroe Ed
wards,was convicted. William NJ. Evarts
was then young lawyer, and was
retained in the defense. 1t is said that he
got his pay in forged check. Edwards
had great personal elegance and grace
of manners. He went to England with
forged letters from Daniel Webster travel
ing as John p. Caldwell. The aristo-
cracy welcomed him to their festal halls,
and he actually borrowed 900 to re
turn with. In this oity he forged $685.
900 on Brown Brothers Il Co., and by
three clever forgeries in Philadelphia he
raised 100000 more. His trial in this
city was the occasion of James Watson
Webb's duel with Tom Marshall. The
latter was one OF the counsel for the de-
tense, and made several reflections or
Webb, who challenged him and got
bullet in his leg. Edwards was sentenced
to Sing Sing for five years, and die before
the expiration of the sentence.

VISITING A MODEL FARM.

OCCASIONAL" cAERNARyoN TELLS WHAT
NE SAW IN THE BEAUTIFUL VALLEY OF
THE coNEsToGA.
Along the beautiful valley of Conesto-
ga are many valuable farms, upon which
are erected as many handsome mansions.
Among them may be mentioned that of
Joseph Scheetz, of Caernarvon, one mile
west from Morgantown, which for loca-
ton, comfort beauty and convenienience
assures more than passing mention.
Mr. Scheet's farm contains nearly 200
acres, most Of hich ranks with the best
land in the valley. For water con-
venisnces it cannot be excellsd in East
ern Penna. Its buildings are large and
commodious and sufficient in number
for a frs: class and we'll regulated farm.
The water is conveyed in large pipes
from a mammoth spring in the hill, a
short distance in the rear OF his build
ings, consequently, every department in
the DWELLINGS, supplied, including cellars
spring house and wash house, all under
the same roof. Water is also conveyed
to various parts of this large, double
decker barn, hog-pens, hennery &c,-
Over one year ago Charles Melcher, Of
Reading erected for Mr.. Scheetz a 10
horse power stationary engine, in close
p, oximity to his barn, the exhaust steam
from which is conveyed through iron
pipes into various parts of the barn for
the purpose of cooking or steaming the
food for his stock, of which he keeps
none but the best. The various attach
ments to the engine are French burr
wheel, 80 inch burr" having a capacity
of grinding 1G bushels per hour, thereby
saving the millers toll 10 per cent, he
having a cob breaker attached part of
this time. With thresher and separa-
tor 500 bushels of grain can be garnered
per day. With his Fleetwood cannon
corn shelter he shells 100 bushels corn
Der hour cuts all fodder with large
Telegraph cutter on the barn floor, from
whence it is carried to the various steam
chests most convenient TO the stock.
The wood saving attachments also work
admirably. Pipes are also laid to the
spacious hog pens, where feed is cooked
for his valuable swine. The pens will
accommodate comfortably 100 hogs
MIR, S. has at this time 81 head, a num-
ber of which are the specimens. Mr..
Scheetz, who is one of the most enter
prising and thorough business men In
the country, is constantly making i'm
provements, and is among the first to
procure new and improved farming i'm
plements and machinery. He is also a
first class stock raiser. Persons who
visit the place are always warmly re-
ceiyed and kindly treated by Mr.. S. and
his estimable lady.-Reading Eagle.

THE JEWISH RESTORATION.

A curious rumor is afoat, for which We
do not vouch, that the Porte, in its eager
ness for money, has offered to sell the he
reditary pashalic of the Holy Land to
any candidate accepted by the Jews In
return for a loan. The transaction would
be one of the most singular IN history,
but it is not beyond the range of posi-
bility. Palestine needs nothing but irri-
CATION and trees, and through the Jews
dislike agriculture. fellaheen sufficient
might be attracted from Egypt. The re-
storation of the Jews, with Lord Bea-
consfeld for first king, would be an Incl
dent romatic enongh to satisfy even the

THE SILK TRADE.
A Wall from Switzerland.

WASHINGTON, Oct 5-The United States
Consul at Basl,, Switzerland, has sent to the
Department Of State an article ON silk manu-
factures OF the United States, from the Attge-
miene Schreiser Zeitung OF that city, of the
18th September last. Opening with doleful
account of the depressed state of the silk
manufactures Of that district, the Zeituag
goes ON to say that for the past six years the
trade has been more and more obstructed
and endangered by American home industry
in the same class of goods, protected by a
very high import duty. "Indeed, it would
appear" says the zeitang, that this same
manufacture, by its progressive develop
ment, will at no very distant day supply it's
own market with silk, excluding therefrom
all foreign competitors"
The Ieitaeg quotes from articles published
in the New York journals statements showing
the disUrganized condition Of silk manufacture
the repeated reductions of wages to lower
rates. causing dissatisfaction between en-
ployers and employees and resulting in con-
tinuous strikes, and consequently poverty of
the operators, etc The Zeitaag draws
consolation from the probability that
before the American silk manufactures
have reached that stage of perfection
which would wholly exclude for
eign products, both operators and employers
may become discouraged and abandon the

NEWARK, N. J.. Oct. 5.-The funeral SER
vices over the Rev. DIR. Fl. G. Fish took place
to-day at the First Baptist Church in this

and extremely beautiful, and the coffin was Of
the finest wood, magnilicently mounted. An
immense concourse of people, including up
wards of 1875 ministers, were present at the

continued until after 4.
After solemn and imposing ceremonies at
st. Patricks Cathedral this morning the re-
mains Of Archbishop Bayley, clothed in his
pontiiicial robes, and encased in u plain cof-
fin, such as he had directed should be used,
were born from the sacred edilice, amid the
tears and sobs of the majority of the immense
throng gathered therein. When the coffin
had been placed In the hearse the funeral cor
tege was formed and proceeded to the Market
street depot. A party Of police headed the
line followed by clergymen and distinguished
laymen in carriages; then came the hearse,
accompanied on either side, and followed by
members of the st. Vincent de Paul Society

izations, including boys and girls; sodalties,
followed by other clerg ymen in carriages and
a large cOncourse Of citizens. When they ar

panied the remains, and will take part in the
