A company has been formed in Glas-

operate in the forest lands of Oregon,
and Washington Territory. for the pur-
pose of utilizing a process of clearing
forests by steam, introduced into Scot
land few years since. A traction en-
gine of twelve-horse power Is stationed
some distance from the wood, and a
wire chain Is fastened to tree. Steam
Is then put on, and the tree Is pulled
forcibly out fy the roots. Upward oi
900 trees per day Of ten hours can be
pulled out by this process. The CON-
pany will begin operations with fifty
engines, which are now being manufae.

Sensitiveness Of the Telephone.

The sensitiveness of the telephone
and human ear is something wonderful.
Trowbridge, of Cambridge, found that
if wires from a telephone were plunged
into the earth at two points fifty feet
apart, and in the direction of the line
connecting Boston and Cambridge,
the beats of the Cambridge OBJ
servatory clock could be distinctly
heard. If the points are taken in a di-
rection at right angles to this, nothing
is audible. The clock sends its beats to
Boston over a wire which goes to earth
both ut Cambridge and Boston, and the
return current passes through the earth
between the cities. The small portion
of this return current which is caught
in the manner mentioned is enough to
hear by. Trowbridge suggests that if
two points in Europe, say in Spain and
England, were connected by a wire go
ing to earth at the ends, and if a pow
erful current in this wire were closed
and interrupted, as in telegraphing,
then an observer in the United States
might hear the signals by means of a
telephone inserted in a line extending
from Maine to Florida and "grounded'
at its extremities. Certainly this is the
oretically possible, however it might
turn out in practice.-N. Y. Independent.

"A SUBSCRIBER wants to know show to pot

procure a pot large enough to hold all the

and set the pot in one corner of the yard until
springtime comes, gentle Annie. Every plant

ing but disappointment came of these boy and
girl attachments, and that Mark very likely was
engaged to some one else, or married, or. more
likely still, his Posie forgotten, had no thought
of marrying for the next ten years
But Posie refused to believe in either his
forgetfulness or his faithlessness- "Tn wait
for him five years longer" she said, with u
trusting smile, land then if he does not come
back, perhaps"
Christmas-day passed quietly and pleasantly
enough to the two sisters, and notwithstand-
ing Posie's prophecy to the contrary, some
holiday gifts did find their way to the humble
home, for Posie was much too pretty to go alb
solutely presentless on Christmas-day, and
those remembering her remembered also the
lame sister she loved well.
Night came, and the snow, which had been
falling lightly all the afternoon, began to fall
thickly, and sounds of merriment and laughter
echoed through the shabby house where the
sisters lived. The old German woman, their
landlady, was giving n family party in the
apartments overhead. and a score of her chill
dren and grandchildren were gathered about
the Christmas tree.
Posie, seated upon one Of the ottomans, and
resting her brown head against the white mus
lin window-curtain, was looking across the
street into the brilliantly-lighted parlor Of the
handsome house directly opposite.
A young and fashionably-dressed girl of

Of agreeing upon the terms Of compro-
r,,se under which but one HANCOCK electo-
raj ticket will be run In Virginia. what
win they dos We don't know. we are
willing to do anything that Is honorable ana
fair: but we have lost much OF our concern
on the subject since It has become pret'y
certain that General HANCOCK VIII DC
elected without the vote OF virginia.
TN 10 this time the Democrats OF all
the other states have belIttled the diher'
ences between the regulars and the po'leis
IN This State, and censured both sides as II
they were committing a great crime because
there were two electoral tickets running
here. The Democrats from Maine TO Texas
looked askance at US. They regarded us as
almost traitors TO the Democratic party De-
cause we would not look at the matter
through their spectacles.
But, presto, change! The news from
Maine puts new face upon matters. The
regulars will no longer be besought to
make terms with the Mahoneites. We shall
be allowed to fight out our troubles In our
own way in Virginia. IL the regulars can
give the State 10 HANCOCK, 1t will be U. II.
They will do only what is expected OF them.
II, however. the MALONE electors are
chosen, then the Democrats OF the other
States need not trouble themselves In the
least to get their vote for HANCOCK
He will not need it. But those Ma
boueites will not be chosen. The news
from Maine has given new life to the regu.
lars. and minified the importance OF the
boilers. III these latter want to set up O
party OF their own, let them do it. They
have declared over and over again that the
Readjuster party was much more to them
than the Democratic party. Let them,
therefore, as Lord DUNDREARY says, " flock
lby themselves" They can no longer fatter
themselves that General HANCOCK will be
compelled to have their vote on their own
terms.

How They TALKED LAST SUNDAY
The Basgor correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Conssserciat wrote as follows last Sun
day:
Senator Blaine says: owe will probably
have 5000 msjortX carry the Legislature,
and make clean sweep OF congressman,
recaiming lie one we lost in 1875"
Senator Hamlin:: ."Our majority will be
not less than 5000. and think it will be
several Thousand more"
Governor Davis: :" Ny reelection Is Gse-
,ysnd ali deuia, and the majority will be
larger than believed possible few weeks
ago"
Alas how little BLAINE, HAMLIy, aud
DAVIS knew OF what was Just ahead Of them.
As Sas said few weeks ago in speaking
OF the bloody shirt. 80 we say now. the re-
salt OF abe presidential election will not be
controlled by fools.
