Speaking of temperance, the New London Telegram says: The liquor dealers will not
 have their own way at the next session of the
 general assembly. Had Senator Barnum suc-
 ceeded in buying up that body determined
 effort would have been made by the liquor
 dealers association, and with fair chance of
 success to secure the repeal of the local option
 clause of the present license law. Even now
 such an effort may be made, but it is not like
 ly to succeed The opposition to local option
 comes not only from the liquor dealers but
 from the radical prohibitionists, who in the
 legislature as at the polls will be found work
 ing in the liquor interests. The law as it now
 stands should be amended at the next session
 so as to admit of the sale of liquor for medici- nal and manufacturing purposes. It should also be amended as to make it obligatory upon
 the selectlnen of a town to recommend appli- cants for licenses after the town at it's annual
 meeting has voted in favor of allowing such
 recommendations to be made. As the law now
 stands the popular will is liable be defeated | by the selectmen.
 While we should be ashamed to doubt MT. Tiiden's personal integrity, we are yet con- strained to say that it is proved and admitted through disqualification of the eciphertelegrams, that during his presidential campaign he suf- fered clique of politically immoral people to surround him, to act for him.; and to coInpro-
 mise him. We knew at the time that some of
 these persons were profoundly foolish and we denounced them for their stiffness; but it now appears that this was not their worst endow-
 ment. At any rate they have proved them
 selves able to fatally injure what they could
 never have built up. Their imbecility and
 their immortality could never create anything,
 but wlGh the extraordinary confidence reposed
 in them, their power for mischief was great in | deed They have sufficedto damage the char
 acter of a life time and they have wrought a l deplorable mischief to the course of public af; fairs Mr. Tilden will not again be the presi-
 dential candidate of any party. AS Sen II &

 bronze silk, on his arm. Some declared it was Gilly Sanderson, flor all the world" Some said that could not be, for this lady must be 10

American Inventors and Workmen.

An element of promise is the inventive gen jus of the American people, a peculiarity by no means especially possessed by the New Englanders, but diffused through all classes, wherever manufactures have been established, or some special necessity has created demand. The inventive gift is so we'll recognized as abundantly bestowed upon Americans that 'any American who announces discovery at tracts attention in England, where Yankee babies are. believed to pass their time mainly in inventing new rockers" (SpectGt0r.) It might seem as if this conferred no permanent advantage, since our inventors are always at liberty to dispose of patent rights to Europeans; but it is not 80. In the first place, the tide of improvement is steady in America. It advan- ces by what has happily been styled ''molecu- lar changes, with which the foreigners cannot keep up. The brand new invention he buys to-day will be out of date by next Christmas. The hind legs may get on to where the fore legs were, but the fore legs have not staid for them. Besides this, the American inventor has in mind different class of workmen from those of Europe-men of greater alert ness and nervous promptness, as well as lar ger intelligence. There have been cases where our machinery has been sent over to England, accompanied by the fullest instructions as to the arrangement of its parts, and it has been found impossible to have it properly put to- gether, through the incapacity of the workmen to follow instructions. And, in other cases, where it had been set up by American work men, it had to be abandoned, because of some
 want in the discipline or the diligence of the European laborer. Our watch-making ma chinery. for instance, has been discarded in Switzerland, as altogether useless in connec- tion with the best human material they have at command The machinery is for sale; the building it filled is let out in lodgings. In another case, machine constructed on the principle of 8 steam die stamper was soRd to an English firm, but the workman employed to attend it, although furnished with two boys to assist him in getting the material ready, lost on an average, 40 out of every 100 strokes of the stamp. An American workman, with no assistant, can attend the same machine and never lose stroke. As Dr. Leonard Bacon says, ''the main point of the superiority of American manufactures is the personal supe- riority of the American workman" The gen. jus thown by our inventors is merely the sum- init peak of a widely diffused, high intelli
 gence and adaptability y-Penn Monthly.

Of the work which Professor Agassz, vof Harvard College, is doing, the Boston cores pondent of the Springfield Republican writes
 '"Fhe present Professor Agassiz, son of the great naturalist, is pursuing his own speciality of deep-sea dredging, in which so much work was done by his father and by Count Pour tales before the English scientific men took it up zealously. Sir Wyville Thompson has now carried this work further in some directions tban either the Americin or the Swedish scientific men, but, so far as the means at his disposal go, the present Professor Agassiz is doing more than anybody. He has made many improvements in the dredging apparatus, by which much more work can be done in day than the Englishman can do-using steel wire instead of hempen rope for lifting his hauls of animal life up from the deep-sea bottom, and by this simple contrivance much diminishing the time and labor necessary to secure his col lections. The specimens found by him are divided among the scientific men in Europe and America who work them up-while many of them go inte his own Cambridge collection at his fathers museum. He spends his win ters in dredging, on board a coast-survey steamer of the United States, which is put at his disposal for this kind of exploration, in connection with the regular work of the sur vey. He will start early in December for a cruise of this kind between the Windward Is- lands and the coast of South America, having spent last winter in the Gulf of Mexico"

An effort is making in the Reformed Epis- copal Church to do away with the observance of Lent as a church fast. At a recent confer ence of clergymen in Philadelphia it was deci- ded to recommend the policy of abandoning the services to the General Standing Commit tee, on the ground that the indulgence ia worldly pleasures before and after Lent is in. creased by way of compensation for enEOrced abstentation during the season of fasting, and upon the further ground that uniform nnOdera- ton of life is the churches greatest need, and that this may be better secured without Len ten observances than with them. The change. if it shall be made, will be radical one, and will work wider breach than ever between the two Episcopalian churches in this coun- trY
