porzng with the South. The verdict seems
to be accepted by the stalwarts to mean that
tho people Of this country want the political
affairs Of the nation administered on a stall
wart basis. 1t is said by the ultra stalwarts
that Congressman from the South certified
to be elected in districts having a prepond-
Grating negro vote, as to be either unseated
or their election invalidated on the ground
that the people have not had a chance to
record free-expression of opinion. This,
1t is asserted is the only means which can
be resorted to to give the colored voter
chance to assert his political rights. Such
policy IL adopted would unseat Chalmers
in the shoe string district of Mississippi,
three Of the Louisiana members and about
all Of the South Carolina delegation.
The departments Of the Government have
not been bee-hives, exactly, during the past
few days, the feeling of surprise about the
result of the elections not permitting much
work. Yesterday did not differ materially
from the preceding days in respect to the
amount of work accomplished. The clerks,
however, were not idle from suspense, but
from joy. The general result being ascer-
tained, the pleasure was enhanced by going
over the details of the election returns
These never failed to give satisfaction. Per-
haps, however, there is an exception as
great many regret that New Jersey did not
wheel in line to complete the solid North
This, however, is a slight objection, and does
not interfere with the undisguised satisfac-
ton with which the results of the election
are received. Just now the clerks are the
happiest of mortals. The strain has been
removed and they are able to look forward
to another lease OF official life. With the
major portion, however, the result,to large
extent, is not surprising. Ever since the
Indiana election they have regarded Repub-
lican success as sure, although they did not
expect such sweeping results. When the
voters begin to return then the departments
will resound with their songs of triumph
and shouts of victory, all of which would be
quickly stihed should some Republican
brother now out in the cold succeed in shuv-
ing the present incumbent out of place.

There were recently brought TO New
York city, from the mountains of the Malay
peninsuar, about 500 miles from Singapore
two peculiar and rare little elephants. They
are remarkably small, being respectively %
and SO inches tall, and are supposed to be
from five to seven years old. They are
covered with thick coat of bristly hair or
wool, which IS attributed to the circumstance
that they live high upon the mountains
whore the climate is cold. They resemble
the extinct elephants of Malta, in size, and
those OF Siberia in covering; and are of a
specie all but unknown to naturalists, the
pair being the first that have ever survived
the passage through the heated low country
to the coast and the subsequent journey by
sea to this country.

POPULAR SCIENCE NOTES.

The newly discovered tin mines in the
State of Maine, continue to yield large
quantities of ore. A writer from Winslow
states that with every days work the seams
are widening and rapidly converging to-
wards what must at no great depth prove
champion vein Of large dimensions. 1t is
also believed that in more westerly portions
o. the state the deposit are much more vau-
able than at Wnslow.
Prof Lewis Swift, the noted astronomer,
Of Rochester, N. Y, has discovered new
comet, in about right ascension 81 hours 80
minutes, declnaton north 10 80, or in the
constellation Pegasus. Its magnitude is said
to be enormous, and although, as yet but
visible through the telescope, it is thought
the strange celestial visitor will shortly be
plainly seen without the aid of glasses, and
in the northwestern sky. Upon making the
discovery, Prot. Swift, was presented with a
$500 check by Mr.. Warner, who is building
the "Warner Observatory" for the astrono-
mer, who will also be awarded gold medal
by the Imperial Academy Of Sciences, at
| Vienna.

despite the prevailing superstition of
many persons that plants kept in living
rooms are unwholesome, it has been decided
by most physicians and scientists, who have
thoroughly investigated the subject, that, as
general rule, they are decidedly beneficial.
DR.. j. NJ. Anders, in an article recently
published in the Philadelphia Medical Nc,os
states that, there j. a process going on in
plants which, from hygenie standpoint, is
Of great importance-that of Transportation
or exhalation Of moisture by the leaves,
which is Of invaluable service in rooms
warmed by dry-air furnaces. He recem-
mends that all living rooms be well stocked
with plants, and is Of the opinion that the
the hralth-gving effect win be perceptibly
meuiiest to all who try the experiment.
