The Governors Message

Governor Plaisted's message is much like
Barnum's Living Skeleton, remarkable for
length and thinness. 1t begirs with affect
Cd self-dispraise and ends with panegyric
on the Roman constitution. A State paper
that spans the immense gulf between
Plaisted and Cicero must necessarily be of
extraordinary f5ngth. The message GER
and none other.
The Governor devotes great part of his
communication to the Legislature to topica
which do not concern him in his official
character. He seizes occasion to discuss
the question of national finances, falls into
pretended fright at the power of the rail-
roads, advances a demagogical plea for there
enactment of the usury acts, and makes him
self ridiculous by expressing apprehensions
of dangers to come from the gathering of
tia at the national capital ON Inauguration
Day.
In treating of State affairs the recommen-
dations of Governor Plasted in regard to
taxation and to State institutions are gen.
eral to vagueness. He thinks the Agricul-
tural College good thing, wants the name
OF the Reform School changed to Industrial
School for Boys, urges the constitution of a
Board of Equalization of Taxes, and uses
many words in saying nothing about the
Insane Hospital. Of course he assumes to
fear judicial usurpation. This is doubtless
done to please the notorious returning
board of 1879 and it's Fusion supporters.
Considering the narrow escape he has had
from the jurisdiction of the courts his re-
marks are, to say the least, in the worst pos
sible taste. They resemble the exulta ion
of man who has escaped justice through
flaw in the indictment.
Those who read the message will readily
conclude that we have got wearisome Gov
ernor for the next two years. Those who
do not read it will save themselves many a
yawn and lose nothing worth holding.

The latest complication OF the Presidents
disease being the swelling of the paroti gland,
aud the newspapers having so much to say
about it, the lay reader will doubtless be glad
to know exactly what the parotit gland IS.
A recognized medical authority says of it:
The parotid gland IS the largest of the sal
ivary glands, seated under the ear and near
the angle of the lower Jaw. 1t is composed Of
many separate lobes, giving rise to eXcretory
ducts, which unite to form one canal. called
the Parotid Duct, Steno's Cana-the Dactus
Superior or Superior Salivary Gland of some.
THIS duct, after having advanced horizontally
into the substance of the cheek, proceeds
through an opening into the hucinator mus
Gle and terminates in the mouth opposite the
upper second molaris. About the middle OF
its course, II sometimes receives the excretory
duct of aglandular body, situate in Its vicinity,
and called the accessory gland of the paIotd.
In the substance of the parotid are found a
number of branches of the facial nerve, of the
transverse arteries Of the face and the posterlor
aur,cular. 1t receives also some tlaments
from the interior maxlllary nerve and from
the ascending branches of the superficial Ger.
veal plexus Its Emphatic vessels are some.

1t is a beautiful spectacle to witness the
heather mind develop, and blossom out into
all the virtues and manliness of the civilized
Christian. A Chinaman, who has been IN
this country SIX years. left Erie, Pa the other

and some $4,000 scwed around IN his clothes.
This child.hkc aud bland person, once be
nighted pagan, was on his way TO his former
home, carrying with him the beautiful Gus

the money he has acquired will support him

as he carries with him his letter of dismissal
as a member in good and regular standing of

requirements he had quite collection OF
spurious nickel, bronze and silver coins which
had been showed" on TO him by unprincipled

An especially satisfactory feature of the ex-
hibition Is the section devoted TO German ex-
hibiiors, who, having set aside the feeling
the worlds fair of 1878, have how come for
ward with an excellent show of apparatus. In
the middle OF the section rises large pillar
bearing the German eagle in relief aud sup.
porting guided bust of Germania. Both the
Postal Department and the Ministry of Pub.
lie Works of the empire besides number of
prvate firms, contribute their share, which is
emincnlly interesting, AS the Germans have
from the first cxcelled in all matters relating
to electrical science. Under the clrcumstanc-

to be regretted that a semi, oflicial evening pa

centre of attraction is large ornamental pa

Ministry of Posts ana Teegraphs, whose en-
terprsiag chief, M. Cookery, has been the
prime mover in the organization Of the exhi

The Strcaior Free Press announces the sue
ces.ful com APPLETON OF the "Maths shaft seven
miles southwes OF town near Ancona. The vein
10 three feet thick, with roof exactly like that
over the 50 in. vein in South Ottawa. We cant
understand why the Press doesn't, in this case
instead OF congratulating Ancona, repeat the as
vice gwen Ottawa, to wit 1--WE dislike to say
anything about Ottawa and Its interests that is
not fattering, because our county seat friends
are so very sensitive that they take it to heart
and loudly assert that it is an attack on them.
But the truth ought not to hurt anybody and Tor
that reason we venture to call attention to some
facts In connection with the coal vein over when
they were 80 enthusiastic on it's discovery fe"
weeks ago. . In a century or two from
now when the easily workable veins have be-
come exhausted then they may begin to work
that vein In this region. We are sorry
for Ottawa, but IL does no good to be lighting
against fate" 1t Is too bad about Ottawa, OF
course.
