RE-NoMINATIoN.-The republican
congressional convention held at Oak
land Thursday re-nominated by ac-
clamation Hon. M. G. Urner for Con-
gress. This was expected. His cleo
tion two years ago by an unusually
large majority, his record in Congress
and party usage, combined to invest
him with prestige which could not
be fairly overlooked. He is an excel
lent gentleman and sufficiently popu-
lar to inspire his opponent with a
great deal of anxiety.

COUNTY TAxEs.-Tuesday was the
last day that the allowance of 5 per
cent. on taxes paid was allowed by
the county. A large number of per-
sons who had put off payment until
the last day settled their account.
The collector of the Second district
received $4,000 on that day, while
the Third district collector received
$4,000, of which nearly $4,000 was
paid by one corporation. About
100000 have been paid into the
county since tho levy was made

Coal MATTERs-Anthraclte. The
long-looked-for improvement in the
anthracite coal trade has at last ar
rived, and the indications all favor
its continuance for sixty or ninety
days. The inquiry and sales are larg-
er and prices are much frmer.
BituminouS.-There is fair i'm
provement noticeable in the sales and
demand for this coal. Prices, how
ever, continue low, and show no i'm
provement. A very coed fall busi-
ness is anticipated in this description
of coal. A very small advance in
the prices of anthracite coal would
be Of great benefit to the bituminous
trade. = Engineering and Mining
Journal.
This coal continues in good demand
and there is no cause for complaint
except the rates made by some anx-
ious sellers that are duplicated or
beaten by others in the same line of
trade.-Coal Trade Journal.

The Songs Of Scotland.
TAtlautic Monthly.l


There is a very general impression, es-
peciallv in England, that Burns created
Scottish song, and that all that is valu-
able in it is his work. Instead of saying
that Burns created Scottish song, it
would be more true to say that Scottish
song created Burns, and that in him 1t
eliminated. He was born at happy
hour for national sOngster, with a
great background of song, centuries old,
behind him, and breathing from his
childhood very atmosphere of melody.s
From the earliest times, the Scotch have
been a song-loving people, meaning by
song both the tunes, or airs, and words.
This is not the side which the Scotch
man turns to the world, when he goes
abroad into it to push his fortune. we
all know the character that passes cur'
rent as that of the typical Scot - sandy
haired, hard-featured, clannlsh to ms
cOuntrymen shrewd, cautious, selt-seek-
ing, self reliant, preserving, unsympa-
thetic to strangers, difficult to drive
bargain with, impossible to circumYent.
The last thing a stranger would credit
him with would be the love of song.
Yet when that hard, calculating trader
has retired from the Change or the mar
ket-place to his own freside, perhaps the
things he loves best, almost as much as
his dividends, will be those simple
national melodies he has known from his
childhood. Till a very recent time the
whole air of Scotland, among the c0un-
try people, was redolent of song. You
hear the milkmaid singing some old
chant, as she MIXED the COWS in field or
byre; the housewife went about her
work or span at her wheel, with lit
upon her lips. In the Highland glen
you might hear some solitary reaper sing
ing like her whom Wordsworth has inn
mort2lized; in the Lowland harvest field,
now one, now another, of the reapers tax
ing up an old-world melody, and then
the whole band breaking out into
some well-known chorus. The plow-
man, too, in winter, as he turned over
the lea burrows, beguiled the time by
hummiug or whistling tune; even the
weaver, as he clashed theshuttle between
the threads, mellowed the harsh sound
with a song. In former days song was
the great amusement of the peasantry,
as they of winter night met for ham,
let-gathering by each others fresides.
This was the usage in Scotland for CEN
turies, and l am not sure that the radi-
cal newspaper which has superseded it ia
an improvement.

Mad at the WAY She Was Saved.

81. Louis lllne5-JouInal.l
"Don't go on that log" screamed the
masculine attendent as one of the
damsels walked out on the careening
limb of an old dead tree, which say
diagonally with the bank.
"WhyP but she kept on going.
" 1t will turn with youp' shouted the
gentleman, warmly.
How can it?'' and the line with a
long sweep of the pole descended into the
water.
Just then there was slight oscillation
of the log, two dainty feet swept from
under cloud of skirts, sylph-hke form
bent gracefully to the treacherOus flood,
and, with a stihed scream, body and feet
disappeared from view. But for a mo-
ment only. The next instant, like the
twin extremities of a pair of scissors, two
svmetrically modelled female continual
tions appeared above the surface, bobbed
about a second, and then sank again.
By this time the gentleman was In the
water, and by good fortune cOntrived to
get hold of the gaiter-clad feet, and was
fugging away manfully in the direction
of the bank. But the unfortunate lady
appeared to be turned wrong side out,
and dragged heavily, like an inverted um'
brella. But landing was made at last
and the young lady, ike a capsized sail
ing vessel, was put right side up with
care. AS soon, however, as she had re
gained her usual balance, she turned
furiously upon her rescuer.
{" You wretchl Why did you pull me
out by the feet?"
Because / couldn't get hold OF any
other part of you. You seemed to me
to be all legs"
"SirI How dare your
al beg pardon, but really l did the
best / could"
The subject was too delicate to con
tinue, but it was evident the lady ant
her friends were excessively indignant
No apologies could conciliate them an'
It was in a tone of inexpressible sorrow
that he said in turning away:
eff you ladies will persist in turnin:
upside down when you get into tia
water, can't help it.

A Milky Sea.


The phenomenon of a milky sea has
been known to occur in certain parts,
but has not been very thoroughly scruti-
nized. Some have considered the
tnminous appearance in question an
electrical effect in thunderstorms; others
have attributed it to cadavaric decom-
position of marine animals and plants;
others to abundant spawn, with fishes
moving about in it. But the truth ap-
pears to be that it results from an aC-
cumulation of animalculse capable of
becoming .phosphofeCee11ti spontaneously
5r by ffictioh. SOffe interesting IN
formation on the subject (6f an exact
character) has been lately published by
Lieltenaf1t f0rhain, of the French iron
clad u Armlde, which in February last
met with a milky sea in the passage
from Point de Gale to Alden. The
lights of February 9, 10, II and Is were
characterized by the phenomenon in all
its splendor, the ship during this time
traVersihg 600 miles Il 100 kilometers)
in mean latitude of twelve degrees
north, between the meridians of 81
degrees and 81 degrees east longitude.
There was no thunderstorm, the sky was
clear, the moon new, the barometer,
thermometer and hygrometer were reg
ular and gentle northeast mtasoofl was
blowing, The tempe ratuTe of the sur
face of the water was constant at 25
degrees. The sea was like shows
covered field in clear nigh., and all
trace of undulatiOns was lost sight of.
] he milky look was hardly disturbed
by the motion of the ship and working
of the screw (Which shows that the layer
had CO. siderable thickness). BY day
all disapp ared but the hue of the ca
was somewhat tCfe J. Looked at at
tentively over the ships side at night
the water was seen te contain an
enormous huftbef Of lufdihotis particles
pressed close together, and more brilliant
close to the side (where di>turbed).
Some four hundred Of these corpuscles

brought back its luminosity; and when
the creature was bruised in the head
it gave bright mark, which was quickly
extihghished, aud which had no smell.
The milky water kept till day and
looked at in the dark, shows no Ium nos
ity, even though agitated; nor does the
water procured by day and brought into
darkness. 1t remains to be determined
what causes the luminosity of those
animalculH, and information is ais de-
sirable as to the position of the various
milky seas on the globe, the times of
their appearance, whether they persist
in the same place or not, etc. Several
Of the officers ON board of the L'Armide
had witnessed the phenomenon before,
but never so brilliant or so continuous.
The L'Armide, in going out had passed
thirty leagues further north in f'ebru-
ary, 1878, without encountering any
thing of the kind.-Lond0n Times

1t was first suggested by Sir Humphrey
Davy that volcanic action might be due
to the violent chemical union of salts
and minerals within the earth's crust.
Davy was probably led to this idea by
the explosion of the metal sodium, with
evolution of heat and steam, when it
comes III contact with water. An exam
pie of this kind of volcano has been dis
covered on the shores of the Missouri,
about thirty-six miles above Sioux City,
in the State of Nebraska. a large blutt
stands at this part of the river bank, and
when the ear is laid to the ground near
it, internal rumblings are heard, flames
are seen to issue from the earth by night,
and steam by day. The upper part OF
the bluff is composed of carbon.
