A BELGIAN journal says new
process has been applied to the manufac-
ture of artificial black walnut, by which
ordinary wood has impaired to it the ap-
spearance of the most beautiful speci-
mems of walnut, adapted to the very
finest cabinet work. The wood, first
thoroughly dried and warmed, is coated
once or twice with liquid composed of
one part by weight of extract of walk ut
peel, dissolved in six parts of soft water
by heating it to boiling, and stirring.
The wood is, when half dry, brushed
ewithua solution of one part by weight of
bichromate of potash in five parts of
boiling water, and, after drying thor
oughly, is rubbed and polished. The
color is thus said to be fixed in the wood
to thedepth Of one or two lines, and, in
the case Of red beech or alder, for in
stance, the walnut appearance is most
perfect.

has made bet of 100000 that he will
in six years walk through France, Ger

The Pope's annual income of 1916, 900,
allowed by the Italian Parliament in the
Bill of Guarantees" has, since De-
cember, 1870, been offered to him an
nually in a single bill, engraved es-
pecially for the purpose, and as regularly
it has been declined. The bills were
then placed on deposit in the Bank of
Italy, to the Pope's order, and have
been covered into the Treasury if five
years elapsed without their withdrawal.
The first two have thus returned to the
Italian Treasury, but whenever the Pope
dies his heirs will fiEd 50, 226, 900 await
them.

ELECTION OF FIELD TO CONGRESS.
New YORK, Jan. 2.-David Dudley
Field was to-day elected TO congress from
the Seventh New York district TO fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation OF
Smith Ely, jr., his majority over Goetz,
Republican, was 3,449.
HIS POLITICAL VIEWS.
At the convention which nominated
Mr.. Field he made the following, among
other remarks:
1.-The remainder of the session in
which, If elected, will serve he said,
twill be devoted to the great question of
how the electoral vote Of this country
shall be counted. What is the power of
the elective franchise? The theory is that
every lawful vote shall be counted, and
that no vote shall be counted that
Is not cast, The ballot shall be the in
terpretation OF the peoples will.
Take the case of Louisiana. 1t is
conceded on every hand that Tilden
received majority of from 1000 to
10000 Of the votes cast on the day of the
election. How then is he to be deprived
Of them. BY casting ont the votes OF
certain districts. They are rejected on
the theory of intimidation. Suppose
that there are 5000 registered voters.
Four thousand, at the utmost. are all
that may be expected to vote. There
are but 1000 votes cast, and the major
ity for Tilden is nearly that number.
They say that 1000 Of that number
were influenced by improper motives,
or that the two thousand not cast
would have been cast on Ger.
tain side. A rainy day, it is said, costs
one party or the other thousands OF votes
in this state. Suppose it should be pre-.
scented to you that this invalidates the
election, and 1t should be postponed to
the next fair day. | shall insist at all
times that the only test Of the will of the
people is the count Of the votes in the
ballot-box. II there is not fair election
in few parishes or counties, there is
none in the state. and the electoral vote
of the state should be thrown out From
this moment l stand committed to the
principle that the count OF the ballots
actually cast is the only test of the will OF
the people
