The number of persons engaged in
mechanical industries in Massachusetts
in 1875 was returned as 308, 1868, besides
32,702women who took in work at home.
Including these, the number of women and
girls employed was l27, ,571; of men and
boys, 2l4,30S. This total of 341, ,665 is
little more than fourth part of all
persons whose occupations are returned
(about 1900, ,OO0), but is more than a
third part of all those engaged in pro-
ductive industry, which in 1875 was
about 100000.

A RECENT history Of American uni
forms brings to light the fact that the
gray of the Southern Confederacy was
the regulation dress of the American
armies which fought at Chippewa and
Niagara in 1912, and was adopted at
West Point in commemoration of those
victories. 1t is still quite extensively
worn by Northern regiments, and is the
prevailing color in all military schools
and for economy and quietness it is
doubtless preferable to the blue.

SPECIMENS of silver ore recently taken
form the Cerro de Pasco silver mines in
Peru show that the submerged portion
of the mine is very rich, and rough es-
innate shows that body of ore will be
exposed by the new tunnel which Henry
Meiggs is to build, worth from $500, ,000,
900, to $500, 100000. These mines have
lain under water for fifty years, and are
scarcely known to the present generation,
though they had been worked for two
hundred and fifty years, when the mines
had to stop on account of the water.
Peru has now discovered that tunnel
can be built which will drain the mount
ain completely, by draining off the lake
from which the water in the mine comes,
and she is so much in earnest about it
that the first loads of the new submerged
ore are expected to reach Lima in four
months. 1t is predicted that within ten
years more silver will be taken out than
from the silver mines of Nevada.
ACCORDING 10 the AEmanach de
Gothd, the number of towns in the
world which contain one hundred thou
sand inhabitants or more, amounts to
one hundred and ninety-six. Of these,
forty-eight are in the British Empire,
fifteen in Germany, nine in France,
seven in Russia and fifteen in the
United States. The cities containing a
million inhabitants or more, are reck-
oned at nine in number, London, of
course, leading the way, Paris coming
second, and New York plus Brooklyn,
third. Berlin is fourth and Vienna
fifth on the list, each of those capitals
having rather more than a million of
inhabitants Four Chinese cities-Can-
ton, Siangtan (Hounan), Siangfou
(Chensi) and Tchautcheoufou (Foukian)
complete the list of the millionaire
cities, if the expression may be per-
mitted. Pekin, by the way, which our
fathers credited with a population of
four million, is now understood to have
about five hundred thousand inhab-
itants

CuriOsitfes OF Trade.

In April, 1876, Charles II. Faye, Esq., the edi-
tor Of the Eendota Bulletin, Illinois, wrote to Dr.
Petit, FredOnia N. Y, expressing his thankful
ness for experiencing the astonishing virtues of
his preparation in healing diseased eyes. He
says "For more than ten years have suffered
with sore eyes, graduated lids, and have paid
out over 81, 900 in seeking cure and failed. Ten
days ago stepped into Carriers drug store in
Mondota, and asked him-tf there iC0s aslythinV
presented me with box OF g PETTIT's EYE
SALVB." I having no confidence in it, determin-
ed to try it, any h0aO. Its effect was almost mag
lcal, and my eyes are now PERFECTLY CURED,
and through the agency OF your salve," &C., sc.
In Feb. 1877, DR.. Petit received a letter from
Hlndostan, dated SOlapur. Western India, jan
uary 5, 1871 from Mrs. Fanny Fl. Gates "a mis-
Sionary teacher) stating that she had received
from the Missionaries two boxes OF "PETTITs
EYE SALvE," and rather specifically I tried it
among sore-eyed scholars and it worked wond-
ers, relieving pain and Inflammation, making the
bhad see. Ihave tried it in the worst cases of

failed This disease is exceedingly common here,

This is the only known preparation, that by it's
use, has proved so eficacious in relieving pain
and curing oil diseases of the skin, tissues and
mucous membrane.

JUDGE DAVIS.

A Washington special says that
Judge David Davis, United States Sch
ator-elect from this State, and Associ-
ate Justice Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, will resign the latter
position to-day or tomorrow in open
court. The correspondent adds that
President Grant will not appoint his
successor.
Judge Davis has been on the bench
nearly fifteen years. He had had large
experience as a jurist prior to his ap-
pointment. His real life-work began
on the bench. His record is an emf
nently honorable one. He never once
sWerved from conviction of duty,
prompted by personal considerations of
any kind. He has shown a rare genius
for common sense in the adjudication
of law points. In going from the bench
to the Senate he will have the implicit
confidence of both parties. His posi-
ton will be one Of special independ-
ence and opportunity for usefulness.
We expect him to prove a wise law
maker. Senator Booth, of California,
was elected as an Independent, and he
has fully justified the best hopes of his
friends. His election proved an excel
lent thing for his own State, and forthe
party.
Judge Davis is thoroughly Republi-
can in principle. Unless he has under
gone great change in sentiment with
in few years land we have no idea he
has) he is no less ardent in his devotion
to those principles than his predeces-
sor, General Logan. The two men are
quite unlike in many respects, and in
losing the latter the Senate loses a
member who for six eventful years has
never failed to uphold the distinctive
measures of his party. He was very
influential Senator, but with Messrs. |
Oglesby and Davis the Senate of the
State of Illinois will be ably represent

! The President was clear3 and ex-
plicit in his address. He pointed
out clearly how the Southern States,
under his administration, can obtain
peace and self Government. The Ku
Klux or White line organizations
must be disbanded, the white line
obliterated, equal rights and privileges
must be secured to the colored race and
the prosperity and happiness of all
promoted.
He refers to our foreign relations and
our being at peace with all the world.
The address of President Hayes
clearly indicates the policy of the new
Administration. 1t will aim to secure
peace and self government in the
Southern States, and equal rights for
the races, each respecting the rights
and promoting the welfare of the other.
It will carry into execution the Civil
Rights Reform.
It will respect the rights of
foreign nations, and, if unfortun-
|ately uncomfortable differences
should arise it will aim to settle them
by arbitration.
I will aim to secure to our country
the blessings of maternal prosperity,
jurtice, peace and union-a union not
depending on the restraints of force,
but upon loving devotion of a free
people.
w think the people may expect an
able and prosperous administration,
and that they will not be disappointed.
So may it prove to be.
Looking for the guidance of that
Divine Hand by which the destinies of
nations and individuals are shaped the
President calls upon Senators, Repre-
sentatiyes, Judges, felloW-citizens, eve
rywhere, to unite with him in an earn
est effort to secure to our country the
blessing not only of material prospect
ty, but of justice, peace, union and hap
piness, not depending upon the re-
straint of force but upon the loving de-
Fotion of a free people.

last night; but is fast wasting away.
1t looks as if winter was coming again
to see SO much snow, after four weeks
of spring weather. The people of
Waukegan were startled last Tuesday
morning about half past four o'clock
by the violent ringing of "tire bell."'
The streets were Immediately crowd
ed with men, women and children, run
ming to see where the fire was; the
most Of them thought it to be in the
business part of the city, but it proved
to be the tannery near the lumber
yard. The building could not be
saved on account Of its having such a
start before it was discovered. The
loss was estimated at abont twelve
thousand dollars, the building was
insured for four thousand.
Last week will long be remembered
by the death of two influential young
ladies of Waukegan. Miss Lucy
Barker attended the funeral servises Of
Miss Ida Brown on Sunday at the
Methodist church; Monday morning
she was taken sick at eight o'clock and
died at sen; her funeral service was
held at the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday. Both churches were
decorated with flowers.
A great many young ladies and
gentlemen followed the remains of
their beloved friends to the cemetery.
Sickness is prevailing to a great
extent, not only among the children,
but great many old people are pass
ing away.
TheUnion meetings closed two weeks
ago; there were about fifty converts Jas.
fast as the as old members pass away
there are others to take their places.

for Hayes and Wheeler

LIFE 1NsURANCE.-There is 10 Sc
'cular interest more sacred in all its
relations, or which appeals more
strongly to the honor of it's administra~
tors, than that of life insurance. The
greater portion Of the funds which are
manipulated by the colossal associa-
lions throughout the country are the
earnings and saving of people in mod
crate circumstances, where the savings
is an actual sacrifice. They are depos-
tied in life insurance companies for the
benefit Of loved but helpless ones, when
death shall have made powerless the
fostering benefactor. Yet black scoun-
drelism appears to have gained thievish
power in life insurance, and threatens
to place it's rapacious hand on these
sacred earnings and annihilate them.
The revelations recently made in regard
to the suspended Eastern companies
have gone far toward undermining all
confidence in life insurance.

THE INAUGURATION.
THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
OF THE UNITED STATES.

The Count has been completed and
Hayes and Wheeler officially announc-
ed President and Vice-President of the
United states for four years comnenc-
ing the Fourth Of March 1877, and
they have been inaugrated.
| The people rejoice and we'll they
may for the escape from the anarchists
preventing the count of the votes
| from being completed and precipitat-
! ing the Government into anarchy, and
for having honest men and able states
men for President and Vice-President.
In the common rejoicing we unfurl
the flag and let the Rooster Crow.
The same bird which, on all proper
Occasions, for the last sixteen years now
after so long delay crows Justify,
shrilly, cheerily, exultingly and sings
his song of victory and triumph,
rejoicing and glory.
President-elect Hayes took the oath
Of office at the Executive office at
half past seven Saturday evening at
the Executive Mansion in the red room
where Executive transactions in the
Mansion usually accur. The oath was
administered by Chief Justice Waite.
But few if any but the President elect
and Chief Justice were present.
The inauguration took place on Non
day March 5th. We cannot now and
here give an account of President
Hayes and Ex-President Grant, and
the orher officers, and others who
accompanied them, going from the
Executive Mansion to the Capitol and
their return, nor of the other process
ions. The oath of office was admins
tered to the President by Chief Justice
Waite at the Eastern front of the
Capitol and from the same place the
President delivered his inaugural
address commencing at - AS.
He commenced by referring to gem
eral principles by which his admins
tratlon would be governed.
He is clear and explicit in relation
to Civil Service Reform and intends in
his administration to carry it into ex-
ecution.
He speaks highly Of the reform
introduced and carried into execution
by President Grant for the settlement
of National disputes by arbitration.
4 He refers to financial matters, the
prostration of business in 1878 and the
present indications Of it's revival. He
favors specie resumption and thinks
the only safe paper currency must be
redeemable in coin, and that with
specie resumption and a redeemablel
paper currency business would revive
and the country become prosperous.
5 lie refers to the Election contest and |
its being deemed best, under the pecul- |
lar circumstances, that the objections
and questions of dispute with reference
to counting the electoral votes should
be referred to the decision of a tribu-
nal appointed for the purpose. And
now as the question is decided he
thinks the people will acquiesce.
+ lie recommends an amendment of
the Constitution extending the Presi-
dentlal term to six years and providing
that one who has once held the office of
PRESIDENT can not again hold the office.
The address is one of the ablest ever
delivered and shows clearly the ability,
the profound thought, and the states
manshlp OF President Hayes.
