The Influence Of the Weather on
 Trees.

Sir Robert Christison read a paper to the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, on January Sth, on the relative growth ot trees in 1879 and 1878. The indictment character of the summer months of 1879 as compared with 1878, was described by a reference to the daily maximum tenn. peratures noted in Edinburg, from which 1t appeared that for the six months end ing with September the mean for 1878 was fully i've degrees less then for 1878; and the deficiency of day temperature amounted to nearly ten degrees. Of eleven deciduous trees, exclusive of oaks, that Sir R. Christison measured, the defi- ciency of growth during 1878, as compar- with 1878, was fl per cent; of seventeen eyergreens, of the pine tribe, the defcien- cy was 20 per cent; and of seven oaks the deficiency was 10 per cent. The seven oaks were of different species. but they all gave results closely agreeing with each other.

We have gwen nearly all our outside space to an article on the subject of Jute, its culture and use.
 In connection with this fibre the SENTINEL from time to time through ia period of years has endeavored to bring into prominence a flbrous plant grow ing'on the Colorado bottom, and commonly called Wild Hemp" The fibre is unlike that of Jute, being coarser and not so strong, but experiment has proved that it can be utilized in the manufac. ture of bagging, burlaps, cheap rope, twine, mating, and back. ing for scarpeting, but for bag ging mostly. We learn that a
  machine has been invented which,will extract from j to i of a tonidaily of this class of fibre at an expense of about $25 OC per Ston, leaving a large margin for all other incl. ssdental expenses and profits With the mining and other ia. 1dustrial persuits, that are now sspringing into actively through. out the Territory, it is to be hoped Fthat this invetion filed for enter sprise may attract the attention O. those, capable of judging of it merit.

N. ". Republican ConvntiOn.

There has been considerable sparing and fillibustering going on during the past week in the organization of the Republican State Convention at Utica, N. Y., on Thursday, however, they succeeded in effecting an organi- zation, and proceeded at once to take a vote upon a resolution in structing the New York Deliga- tion in the Chicago Convention, to vote as a unite for James G.. Blaine, for President, this resolu- ton was lost by small majority. A resolution was then offered that the entire vote of the N. Y. delegation in the Chicago Con. ventlon be cast solid for Grant, this was carried by a vote of 217 to 1S0.
 This is of course a victory for Grant to be accredited mostly to the intimate relationship exist ing between Senator Copklin ol that State and the Ex-President, We consider 1t more of a victory for Blaine considering the fact that Blaine and Conkling are and have been for years bitter enemies and such a showing for Blaine, in N. Y. state is certainly won derful indication of his immense popularity, admitting that Hi nois will go solid for Grant, (that being his home) he already ha; about 160 votes, with thiIty State. more to hear from. The figh lies between Grant anC Blaine, with doubt as to the result.

The ScientJac Press says The princi- pal local feature of the past week has been the final passage and signature of the law preventing the employment of Chinese by corporations in California. The woelen mills, the jnte factory and several mining companies have already discharged their Chinese employees in compliance with the law. The worst feature of tbe matter is that these com panles have also discharged their white workmen, with view of shutting edown work entirely, stating that they cannot compete with similar branches of manu- facture elsewhere at present prices of white labor. Meantime there arc many idle men ill the city in search of en- ployment. The doubt as to the cOnstruc- tion of mary provisions of the Constitu- ton of the State, ard the uncertainty with relation to pending measures before the Legislature is having an injurious effect upon business, which is compara. | lively dull in all branches.

The stock market here is duller and duller as week suc- ceeds week, and the Legislature is assist ing rapidly in killing the business by the bills restricting dealings in mining stocks

Climate.

Within the past two weeks we have received letters from differ ent parts of the States, asking about the climate of Yuma. For Chronic Rheumatism, and other infiamitory complaints and dis eases.
 Now, we can assert without fear of contradiction that we have climate that is a climate,- and for any thing like Chronic Rheumatism, it commences along the first of May to straight en out for business, about the fifth ur sixth it's percitably warm, as day follows day i: gets warmer, about the firsS of June it's hot, and about the middle of the month, its d. hot, and en- phasis ceases.to be virtue. From this time to the period of the Equinox, the heat vibrates at high figures on the scale, then, with shortened days and receed- ing sun, the conditions gently wave themselves into another, and as enjoyable climate as can be found anywhere.
 During the period we have described as being hot, the air is
 highly rarified, dry, ,super-heated, or anything else, calculated tU
 keep one in a profuse persper- ation night and day.
 The only prescription that we
 can offer for a chronic case is, tC make the trial, dress in the : lightest kind of Woolen material take all the exercise that can be borne, inside of excess, keel about in the sun by day, ,and in thu air by night, and wrap up in the farfamed Arizona blanket t(thesky go to bed early, and rise early.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 1s.-The Demo-
cratic Executive Committee has issued the
following address
To the Democratic and Independent
Voters Of Indiana: The result of the cleo
ton Of last Tuesday was q deep disappoint-
ment to us all. The extent Of the success
which the Republican party has achieved
in this State is as much q surprise to Re-
publicans as to Democrats, and proved
that a majority Of the Republican party
were as ignorant Of the means which their
corrupt leaders were employing as we
we're. The temporary loss Of our State is
Q calamity which time will enable us to
retrieve. but the injury which our free
institutions will sustain, resulting from
the frauds and corruption practiced by the
Republican leaders to 9 their triumph,
10 incalculable. The causes which en-
abled the Republican party to succeed in
the election are now plain. The partial
success OF their scheme to Africanize our
State, for political purposes, the corrupt
use Of money for the purchase of votes,
the importation and use Of reporters, pro-
tected by Deputy Marshals, and the aid
derived from the use Of Government ma
chinery at elections, under the pretense OF
supervising the election Of members Of
Congress. In the Presidential election we
will not have to encounter these forces to
the same extent as in our State election.
Their corruption fund will have to be di-
vided among many States; their reporters
will be at home, and those Of them who
were discharged from arrest by Deputy
Marshals on straw bail will not be likely
to make their appearance in our State
again. We shall have no Federal Mar
shals or Federal machinery to contend
against. We are thoroughly united to our
counsels ; whatever our adversaries NAV
say to the contrary is untrue. We there
fore call upon you not to relax any Of your
efforts; put new life and energy into your
county and township organizations, and
take all measures In your power to bring
out your full strength to the polls. The
same votes polled by rs in October, II
polled In November, will secure the State.
The average majority against us In the late
election will not exceed 1000, and may fall
below that figure. This majority can. and
In our opinion viii be overcome In the
Presidential election. A change Of three
votes In each precinct will accomplish It.
Remember you have q leader In this con-
test who never councils retreat, and he
commands IN army that never surrenders.

REPUBIICANHsM AND CHINA
TOLOGY.

It may not be out OF the way to re-
mark that the climate and meteorology
of the United States are not subject to
the Republican party. This blessed and
manifest truth would not need to be
asserted If the speeches of the Republic
can orators and the exhibits of the Re-
publican officials at Washington were not
largely occupied in the ludicrous effort to
prove the contrary. "What do you want
a change for ?" ask these orators. SIS
not the country prosperous? Are not
the crops abundant? Have not the sea-
sons been most favorablei Do We not
have a large surplus of grain, cattle, cot
ton, tobacco and provisions every year
for export to Europe! Are not our mines
productive? And is not the business of
buying, selling, exchanging and trans
porting these products remarkably re-
munerative just nowi Why, then, turn
out the party that has brought about this
prosperity, and call in another party that
will give you bad weather, unfavorable
seasons, short crops, poor business,
drouths and grasshoppers, derange your
industries and plunge you into an era Of
hard times?"
These very questions which form the
web and wool of the Republican speeches
and arguments imply n thing very
clearly, viz. that the people do. want q
change, and the Republican speech
makers and writers know it; they read il
in the faces of their audiences; they see
it in the restlessness and impotence Of
the country with the general drift of Re
p~ublicanism; they trace it in the popular
disgust at the Republican efforts to bal
ance ell public questions OF the head Of
the Southern negro, and to ignore the
greater interests of the Northern whites
The country is tired of the harsh tension
of Republicanism, and the Republican
leaders are forced, therefore, to combat
popular opposition and to present falst
pretexts for their continuance in power
But the clouds will not withhold thu
early and the latter rain because Hancock
is elected; nor will the soil refuse its in
crease. The heavens will not frown upor
