Jupiter.


Jupiter's diameter is about eleven
times that of our earth, and his mean
density is about a quarter of that of the
earth, or about third more than water.
Now, bulky body may be composed of
heavy materials, and still, as whole,
be light, like an iron ship or lump OF
pumice. stone, that will float in water.
The pumice lump is light on account of
its vascular formation, so that the mass
consists of heavy felspathic material and
the air it contains. Extract the air,
and the pumice loses its floating power,
though still far from heavy in proportion
to its bulk. Most of the earth's crust is
formed of solids much heavier than
water. GRANTEES are more than two and
a half times heavier than water, slaty
rocks mucl about the same, ard 40 are
ordinary lime stones, the variations of
all being from about 25 to 90. The
ironstOne group contains denser miner
ais; red hematite has specific gravity Of
as; magnetic ironstOne, As to So, &c,
and many other ores are heavy. AT
some remote period. when only part
of the now solid earth had been con-
densed from gaseous and vspory matter,
our planet might have had mean den
! sity like that of Jupiter, rs its rocky
materials contain between 40 and 50 per
cent. of oxygen; and while cOndensa-
tiOns and chemical combinations were
going on rapidly, our globe must have
been the scene OF
"Thunders, lightnngs, and prctigious storms
And it is probable that certain stars
which have suddenly blazed forth with
passing slender have exhibited to us the
spectacle of conAagrations extending
over millions and billions OF square
miles. Color. changes in Jupiter-such
az those noticed by Mr.. Browning and
the writer in 1869 70-may have been
caused by soda-Hames, though not fierce
enough or extensive enough to add ma
terially to his ordinary luminosity,
which is estimated as always exceeding.
though not in very high degree, what
it would be by mere reflection of light
received from the sun.

The East Florida Railway Company
has been organized at jacksonville.
This is the last link of the proposed
short route between Jacksonvi lie and
Savannah, consisting of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway (ninety-
six miles), the Waycross and Florida
Railway (thirty-seven miles), and the
East Florida Railway (thirty-tve miles).
Tie track for the entire distance will he
laid with steel rails, and the road will
be first-class in all its appointments.
Upon the competition of this railway the
time from jacksonville to Savannah
will be made in six hours, and from
Jacksonville to New York forty hours,

Health in France.

The English press calls the attention
of the people to the falling of in the
sources of national wealth. 1t is start
ling, indeed, to see to what small indus
tries their attention is called, neglect of
which has already produced serious ef-
fects. Nations, no more than individu-
ais, can persistently waste pennies with
impunity. The manufacture of Irish
pOplin, for example, a peculiar and
beautiful textile fabric which was made
exclusively in Ireland, has fallen off to
such degree that only 500 hands and
800 looms are not employed in making
it in the whole island. Mr.. Gladstone,
with that hard, practical sense which he
applies to everyday matters, lecture1
the women of England sharply lately
for suffering the production of minor
food supplies" to fall into desuetude.
Women are no longer in England the
butter and cheese makers, the bee and
chicken ra;sers that they were century
ago. In consequence the whole of the
coal which France imports from Eng
land is paid for in eggs, and American
and Danish butter and cheese are rapidly
gaining both the upper and lower levels
of the market. American butter. be-
cause of the quantity in which it is
thrown on the English markets, has
undersold the English, but the Danish
butter commands the highest prices.
Dairy work in Denmark is fine art.

rich as ours, can afford TO neglect the
smaller industries, or to demoralize

The National Christian Temperance

There was good attendance at the Old Or

BISBEE VS.. FOGG.
Joint Discussion at Buckfeld.

The first of the joint dis cussions between
Hon. Geo. d. Bisbee of Buckfield and Tabula-
tor Fogg occurred at Buckfield, Monday
evening. There was large audience present
estimated at nearly q thousand.
Mr.. Bisbee opened. He first took up the
Chronicle, published Immediately after cleo
ton, with the ROSTERS claws in the air, which
claimed that fusion had caused the defeat.
just as the Republicans had claimed He
then recapitulated the manner in which the
result had been changed. He showed the alb
surdity of Pilsbury's charges of five hundred
bribery cases, by showing that in several
counties where there are Democratic county
attorneys, no indictments have been obtained.
Pillsbury last year charged that Fogg was
bribed, and that Republican money was what
made Fogg take the course he did in opposing
fusion Fogg denied that he had been brlbed,
and said if Pilsbury lied about Fogg he would
in other cases. Mr.. Bisbee then took I'D the
cases of substitution of returns in Washington
c, unity, viz: Jonesboro, Whiting and Addi-
son; produced Talbot's testimony where he
got those blanks (senatoriaD from Leavitt
gave two to Drisko, sent one to Addison: that
the second return from Whiting was actually
made, sent in and counted. 1t was identified
by the town officers of Whiting as the second
return. Then Mr.. Bisbee referred to the
Jonesboro case and Addison, where the clerk
refused to make second return, notwithstand-
ing the threats of the council, and they finally
counted it, fatal defects and all.
Then the Somervile case was taken up.
Fogg claimed that Bowlers affidavit of Dec
9th. was forgery, when Mr.. Bisbee produced
the original affidavit, all written out by Bow
Ter himself. Fogg then stated the testimony
OF the Washington county witnesses was
false, and that no returns were substituted
When Mr. Bisbee exhibited the report of the
committee Oh elections in this case, signed by
Moody as chairman. where Bragdon's name
was written by the clerk of the council (either
Pishon or Harden) Oliver P. Bragdon, then a
pen-mark drawn across it and James Flye's
name, written in pencil, he fairly foamed. He
said he never saw the report before; that
Moody was drunken fellow and got UP this
report especially for the Hale committee-for-
getting that the report was not in Moody's
hand writing: Fogg denied everything and
denounced the court. The discussion was
eminently satisfactory to the Republicans

THE ENFORCED PRoHIBITIONIsTs.
Is Joshua Nye Nominated for Governor

Yesterday morning Hon. Joshua Nye visited
this city to take counsel in regard to the pro-
per course to pursue on account of the action
OF Joshua X Osgood in Withdrawing his name
as the candidate of the Enforced Prohibition
party for Governor. Mr.. Nye left town on the
noon train.
Mr. L. B. Chapman Of Deering, member of
the District Committee, told a reporter for
the PRESS that two sessions of the members of
the party were held, and Mr. Nye nominated
for Governor.
We are also informed from another source
that Mr.. Nye called on Mr.. A. j. Chase and
had long conference That afterwards a
secret session was held of few of Mr. Nyes
co~laborers in this new movement and Hon.
Joshua Nye nominated to fill the vacancy left
by Mr. Osgoods withdrawal, and the decision
arrived at to call grand mass temperance
convention.
1t appears that the nomination was not
made by the State Committee, neither has the
State Committee called any convention to
ratify such nomination. Mr.. Mcdonald, mem
Der of the State Committee for Cumberland
county, was not notified of any meeting,
neither was Mr.. John Brewer of Portland,
member of the District Committee.
1t would seem that the meeting yesterday
was confined to onlya half dozen OF so in
dividuals who were acting on their own
responsibility.

1erent ink from the rest of the letter.
Mr.. John III. Stillings, clerk of Berwick,
testified before the Hale committee that he
was well acquainted with Mr.. Wakeield's
name; that he had frequently written it, and
that he wrote it correctly on the return. He
also testified, and an examination of other AS
IN his returns shows it, that he was not accus-
toned to make an A like the one that appears
on the return in question. The vote was orig
lnally tabulated for George II. Wakefield and
afterwards the tabulaton was erased and
the vote given to George A. Wakefield The
forgery is as conclusively proved as anything
can be by human testimony.
