one of the train men had come into the

her in a most shameful and outrageous
manner. She was the only woman in
the car. and the two or three other pas
sengers We're asleep; but as they were
nearing station her cries for help
aroused one of the sleepers, who
shouted, whats the matter?" and her
assailant fed. The agent at Ogden

was positive her assailant was train

HOW KINxEAD WAS NOMINATED.

When in 1868 little George Collie
Gorham defeated the ponderous Major
John Bidwell in Convention for the
nomination for Governor, it was for
some time great mystery to the out
side world as to how it was done. 10
due course OF time the mystery was
cleared up, all uncertainty dispelled,
and the people made happy by true
knowledge of the facts. 1t happened
10 this way: The Major had rooms at
the Union, and was engaged in the
pleasant passtime of munching q
basketful of beautiful cherries, when a
large delegation of his warm supporters
called for the purpose of consulta-
ton. The Major at the moment, hap
pened to be engaged with the cherries,
aud directed his colored servant to say
to the delegation that he was just then
eogaged, aud could not see them, but
they could call again. They left in
disgust and cast their votes for Cor
ham; and thus basket of cherries in
that Case did the business for the Con.
vention. and made candidate for
Governor.
The success of Kinkead and the de.
feat of Conner at the late Convention
at Eureka is not quite so charmingly
romantic as the story of Bidwell aud
the cherries, but still. as told by brother
Mighels of the Appeal, it furnishes a
chapter of pleasant reading for the
curious multitude. He says:
When the Lincoln delegation
(Sabin's supporters) learned that the
Eureka delegation were pledged against
their man for Judge. they went to Con-
nor and notified him that unless he
procured enough votes from Eureka to
help Sabin to secure his nomination.
they would vote against him. 81 cam
not do this with honor" replied the
old soldier. you will be defeated.
then,' was the reply. 80 be it,
%hoWcIOu TIC 0cu0Tdf, buu 50 uo was, -
defeated because he entertained too
high sense of honor to do thing
which he did not believe was right
defeated by three votes. only.
Cherries defeated Bidwell, and a
high sense of honor which would not
allow him to stoop to speak to the
Eureka delegation on the subject of who
they should support for District Judge.
did the business for Common. The
6nal result in both cases, however. will
be about the same. Gorham was badly
beaten in the final race. and Kinkead
will meet the same fate.

FRANCIS G. BARLOW, n brave officer in our
civil war, and late Attorney-Gencral of the
State Of New York. makes II very strong
point against Mr.. HAYES in connection with
the Florida frauds. Gen. BARLows point is
that Mr.. HAYES rds bound 10 inform himself
Of the facts Of The Florida case, which rere
easily accessible i: nat az Il ia,syer NJ. HAYES
uas bound to hnoc that The electoral roic be-
ioaged TO M TILDEN; and hdi though the
office rds Direp to him Wder the forms of td,c
he wds IN honor and conscience bound to re-
Ject il.
Gen. BARLow's proposition is entirely
sound, and it goes TO the pith OF the whole
matter. Mr.. HAYES did know, undoubtedly.
what was going on. He knew of the frauds
which were being perpetratcd by the pro-
duration OF his attorney, Gov. MOVES: but
If he did not know, he might have known,
and ought to have known; SO, in any event,
he Is to be held responsible for them They
were before him; he had only to open his
eyes to behold them. If he did not see
them, it was only because he wiltully closed
his eyes and his ears to the truth.
Mr. HAYES is implicated in the guilt Of
MOVES. Il he is to escape from that charge
on the plea that he * only a great, grown-up
baby. then he deserves to Toe removed from
the office of President for incompetoncy.
As Gen. BARLOW remarks, he was bound to
inform himself, and it is TO presumed that
he did inform himself: hut ii hc lid not his
case is no better for his ignorance must
have been wlful ignorance, which, with all
the means Of information at his fingers end
became Il high crime and msdemcanor

The regulation Of the trade in fertilizers
is not the only useful work undertaken by
this Connecticut institution. Some SYSTEM
attic Investigations of seeds have been be-
gun by two of its chemists, Mcssrs WAX
NECKE and JENKINS, in accordance with the
methods pursued in SaXony, and which, it
appears, these gentlemen had an oppor-
tunity of studying in that country. Tho
scope and Importance of this inquiry may
he inferred from the fact that during the
seven years covered by the German Obser-
vations, more than 1000 samples Of seeds
were examined, among which authorizations
were discovered so ingenious in character,
harmful in effect, and remarkable In amount,
that upward Of twenty ccd-contrOl stations
have been established in the German empire.
In like manner English agriculturis;s have
been greatly troubled Of late years by the
presence in their markets Of seed purposcly
adutcrated. 4 large number of analyses of
mcadow-grass seed, for instance, sold in
various parts Of Europe gave an average of
Al per cent of foreign matters, including the
seeds Of worthless weeds, poisonous plants,
and parasites. OF the 81 per cent which nomi-
nallY CORES ponded to the labels under which
the articles were purchased, only about ono
third, or Is per cont, was capable of ger
mination. There is no doubt that through
out the United States our farmers are con-
tnually receiving seed which is fraudulently
mixed with foreign material, or has largely
lost its fructifying power. This is an evil
which urgently demands investigation and
control and Wa are glad to learn that the
movement initiated in Connecticut is To he
carried further. and that efforts are now
making on the part OF prominent agrl-
culturists to secure the establishment of
similar institutions in no less than eight Of
the other States

The Police Commissioners Desire to be

pOnent of the bill, Withdrew the motion he
had made that the committee be discharged

an act of courtesy. to afford the Commits
sioncrs an opportunity to be heard, and they

community. We are glad to see them dill
gent for their own department, but not in
the advocacy Of measures which are unjust

should have a hearing. and II was commend

Mr. BURcHARD further said that the cot
ton crop this year will equal that of 1873,
which was the largest which has been made
since 1850 The net result of his statistics
is that since 1870 the number of acres under
cultivation in the country has increased by
onc-tnrd, the live stock by from one-quarter
to ono-half the wheat crop by more than
one-half and other staple products in
equally striking proportions. In view of
these facts it Is easy to understand why the

The population Of London is now about
three and a half millions, and its rate Of in
crease is such that it doubles in forty years.
IT, however We include all the area which
the Rcgistrar-Gencral calls the Greater
London" the population reaches the enor-
nous total Of 4,22j,0o0. This makes London
by far the most populous capital the world
has ever seen.
If the past and present rate Of increase Is
kept up fifty years from now nearly ten
millions of people will be gathered together
in that vast metropolis, and the resources
of municipal government will be taxed to
their utmost, Even If we include in the
