POPULAR ENCE NOTES.

On the 18th OF June last, the schooner
eddie Pierce" en- route from Boston to Gu
ba, met with a strange circumstance. When
butter was seen TO rise in the water. Others
followed until three hundred and twenty
seven came to the surface, which were close
ly followed by twenty-four boxes of cheese.
Both butter and cheese were in a healthy
state 1f preservation but bore evidence Of
having been in the water long time. The
marks on the boxes being illegible. 1t is
supposed that the packages had just been
released by the breaking up of some vessel
that had been lost there some time previous.
A ship canal across the peninsula of Flori
da has been proposed. The survey has al
ready been made under the direction of Cen
eral o. A. Gilmore, who reports in favor of
the work. By its construction, some five
hundred miles will be saved in the passage
from our Atlantic ports to Gulfports,w while the
dangerous passage through Florida Straits
will be avoided. The canal will be one
hundred and sixty-nine miles in length.
Plans are being arranged forthe holding of
one of the largest Horticultural Exhibitions
at Bremen, Germany, in 1882, ever held in
Europe. The occasion will be the twenty
fifth anniversary of the foundation of the
Horticultural Society of that city.
The twelfth meeting Of the Scandinavian
naturalsts and physicians took place last
week at Stockholm. The attendance was
particularly large from Denmark aud Nor
way, while a goodly number were present
from the United States.
From late Paris journal we learn that
the French Forestry Department have ar
rived at the conclusion that forests greatly
increase the water supply wherever found.
From close observations made it is found
that rain falls much oftener and more abun-
dainty in wooded tracts, and that, while the
leaves and branches give back the water
quickly to the air, they prevent rapid evap-
Grafton from the ground, and are thus fay
orable to the formation of springs.

Andrews majority over Hubbard, 2,4Sl.
The Greenbackers cast nearly per cent
of the vote of the State that year, and the
detection was mainly from the Democrats,
who lost 15,549 on thevote of two years be-
fore, while the Republicans lost but 0 400.
In the election of Congressmen in 1878 the
Republicans carried three of the four dis
tricts, the Democrats carrying the Second
district by coalition with the Greenback-
ers. The total vote of the State for Con-
grcssional candidates was ,OO2 greater
than for Governor, and the aggregate Re
publican pluralities were 1858. At the
State election last November for eleven
nine Republicans and two Democrats were
chosen. The Legislature now stands on
joint ballot Sc Republicans, lO7 Democrats
and Greenbackers and Independents. Ten
Senators are to be elected this year in the
place of Z Republicans and 8 Democrats
holding over, also 244 members of the lower
House. That Legislature is to elect a
United States Senator IN place of Hon,
William W. Easton. If the Democrats sue
cerd in choosing all ten Of the new mem
-bcrs-whch is not probable-they will
have to gain nineteen Representatives to
have bare majority on joint ballot. The
exhibit herein given is not very encourag-
ing to the Democrats, and it is evident that

In view Of the coming election the follow
ing statistics Of The elections in the State Of
Connecticut may prove interesting to our
readers Connecticut is doubtful State,
witt, the probabilities in favor of the Repub-
hcans A review Of her political history
shows that she gave her electoral vote to
Washington in 1889 and 1892, and to John
Adams in the two following Presidential
elections. She voted against Jefferson
twice, against Madison both times, ard
aga inst Monroe the first time She helped
elect Monroe the second time he ran by
giving him her nine electoral votes-three
more than SHE has now.-although he did
not particularly aeed them, since there was
but one vote against him in the whole
twenty four States. In 1924, 1928 and 1882
Connecticut voted against Andrew jackson.
She went for Van Buren, in 1885 and for
Hor,ison in ls4O. Her majority for Henry
Clay in lS44 over both Polk and Birney
was l,O4s. Four years afterward she gave
Taylor plurality of 3,2Gs over Cass. In
1852 she went for Pierce, in 1855 for Ere
mont and in 1850 and 1864 for Lincoln.
Her majority for Grant in 1868 was S,O4S,
and in 1872, 4,3Is. She gave Tilden LIP
majority. over Hayes, Cooper and Smith in
1875, The total vote Of the State for Gev-

IEOISE

Washington, 18.-The House went
into committee on the special
deficiency bill.
Dibbrell offered an amendment that
the commissioner shall not withhold
the pension from any pensioner of the
war of 1912, who was granted a
pension under the act of 1871, and
WAS dropped for disloyalty, and rein
stated by act of March 9Th.
Hiscock raised q point against
amendment and the chair sustained
him.
The amendment, appropria:ing
Sc. 665, 600 for payment of pensions,
YVES adopted.
Five minute debates ensued on the
amendmen! appropriating $50. 600
for marshals and deputy marshall.
Hiscock's amendment, extending
the appropriation TO special deputies,
was defeated.-107 to 124.
Springer offered an amendment az
propriatiDg $1,000 for the payment
of special deputies, provided that
hereafter special general deputy uay-
shals shall receive 81 per day for cleo.
zion work, and shall be appointed EY
a United States circuit count Judge,
and not less than two nor more than
three appointments shall be made for
any precinct.
Cox opposed the recognition Of
special deputy marshals and federal
| Jurisdiction over elections. The
supreme court had said there was no
such thing az a federal election. For
his par, he would not recognize the
supreme court as now packed, par
tizan and demoralizsd, above the
popular branch of the legislature of
the country. (Applause by demo
Gratis.
Keller was not surprised that Cox
set himself above the Supreme Court,
nor to hear the applause at Cox
statement. The lives of the Supreme
Court judges gave it the lie.
Springer denounced as untrue the
statement that the democratic party
desire1 fraud. It was unfair to sur
round the polls with an unlimited
OF partlsans 10 carry the
for a particular party. He
hoped this amendment, which would
that evil, would be adopted.
Hoar thought it a remarkable argu-
meDt for the democrats that they
could violate the law because repub. |
Leans once violated it. He said it |
vas time for Congress to go to work !
and do some business. Nothing that |
should have been done had yet been |
lone this winter.
Garfield offered a substitute, which |
vas so amended as to leave it in the
exact form of Springer's amendment,
As it had been amended, with the
exception of excluding from its pro-
Visions the deputy provision. and Was
adopted by a vote Of III TO ia.

Now THERE is q proposition to

to take the place OF the white work
men who indulge 50 frequently in
strikes. A telegram in this issue Of
the HERALD gives the particulars OF
the plan that is said to have been laid
before the piano manufacturers OF
New York. The Celes.ials are to
work for half dollar a day the frat
year, aud seventy-fve cents the
second. The manufacturers will con-
slider well before adopting the scheme,
but shouII they conclude to do 20, the
white pisno builders will have to
learn othsr trades. The initiative
qualities of the Mongclians will
enable them to soon become expert
in the business as they are in every
thing they undertake; and az large
part of the work Of piano-making
does 10! require expedition go much
as mechanical care and correctness.
the heatheus will accomplish a:
much in a given time as others can
dc. The coat to the manufacturer
and purchaser would be greatly re-
duced, while the instrument would
not suffer deterioration, the toniDg
and artistic part OF the work being
performed by professional experts,
and net mere mechanical laborers.

slider whether they can afford TO let
the Chinese be initiated into the
business o. pianC-msking.
