II is difficult matter to predict who
will be the choice Of the next legislature
to succeed Howe. With good clean
republican majority Indications point to
Howe or Reyes, with the chances in IA
vor of the former. Rublee is said to be
in favor of Howe, aud there can be no
doubt that he will get the strongest sup
port IRON the Simon pure republicans.
Should the complication be such that a
fusion viii be necessary to elect
senator, Carpenters chances viii stand
foremost. Indeed Mats candidacy is
expected to be the greatest obstacle to
harmony in the republican caucus.
MATHS political associates are opposed to
his ever again entering the senate from
Wisconsin. lie must rely solely on his
personal popularity; he has nothing TO
hope for from party caucus. Should the
democrats yield to the extreme wing of
she greenbaclzers, and If union of their
sorees will give them majority, Judge
Gates chances are in the front rank. \
democratic majority, or union of the
greenbackers with the democrats would
result in Gen. EraGgs election. This is
about the situation OF affairs as given by
those who have cast the horoscope for
She political future There is no reason
So hope that there viii be democratic
majority in the next legislature. 1t is
also improbable that the republicans
will have more strength than the demo-
crats AM graenbackers united.

THERE is 2 certainty of war between
Great Britain and Afghanistan. 1t is not
probable that any heavy battles will be
fought this year, Though the Emir of
Afghanistan is said to have large stand

of time as the country cannot sustain a
long war. 1t is said however that I'M

Jewels of the Grown of Scotland.

At Edinburgh, Scotland, some years since,
the Jewels of the Crown were locked in a
box, that box in another, and so on, until
they were supposed to be burglar proof
They were then locked up in the vault Of
the castle, there to remain for one hundred
years, the keys being placed in a mortar aud
fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years passed
by, and the modern k-picker opens the
vault and boxes without trouble. So the
science Of medicine, when studied with the
aid Of chemistry and the microscope, be-
comes plain and simple, and diseases that
were regarded incurable a generation ago
now readily yield TO remedies employed by
the modern and progressive physician. A
decade of years since, and women were
taught to believe that their peculiar diseases
and weaknesses were ineurable but now
hundreds and thousands of once bedridden
women in the United States will testify Il
the fact that DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip,
ton has effected their perfect and perman
ent cure.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 9Th, 1876.
DR.. r. v. PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-About five years since my wifi,
was taken sick, and though we employed
the best physicians in our city, yet she grad
uAlly grew worse, so that she was confined
TO the bed. Every remedy | had tried, o.
could find, failed to cure or even give relief
At last procured bottle of your Favorh
Prescription and to my surprise, il gave al
most instant relief, and with a little perse
Vcrancc, an entire cure was effected.
Ever gratefully yours,

---ASTHRAcITE Coal IN FRASoE.-The in
PRODUCTION Of this great staple of commerce
is ala accident Of the Exhibition, and, if sue
cessful, will soon compensate the United
States for all expenses incurred in sending
goods to Paris. Edward A. Quintard, who
represents the Reading Railroad Company,
in bringing over 4O-ton railway engine for
the Exhibition, freighted vessel with an
thracite coal, which is being purchased in
Havre at good prices by the French iron
manufacturers for experiment in their furn-
aces. OF the result of the experiment there
can be no doubt; the superiority Of anthra-
cite in blast furnaces is we'll known in
America, and it has only to be known in
Europe to create an unlimited demand fol
an inexhaustible American product This
opens a new commercial prospect ofinestim'
able importance, which will make Reading
stock "buoyant" and also the spirits Of the
American coal men. France will wan
millions of tons per annum.-ABlericaH Id

"A French paper, earnestly deprecating
birdnesting, says: "a birds nest contains
on an average five eggs, which would, in
the natural course, become five little birds.
Each little one eats daily fifty flies or other
insects, and the consumption extends over
four or five weeks. Taking it at an average
of thirty days, we shall find the number Of
flies destroyed by each nest of birds to be T.
500! Now, every fly eats daily aquantity
of flowers, ,leaves, ,&c. equivalent to its weight,
until it attains its maximum of growthj in
thirty days it will have eaten flower day,
flower which would have become fruit.
Each fly 1.-THE term is used, we presume, for
insects generally then having, we will say'
eaten thirty fruits in thirty days, the 1900
flies which a nest of birds would have con-
sumed cause loss to us of 225,OOO apples,
pears, aprcots, and peaches. We commend
