JUSTICE HUNT, of the United-States Supreme Court, is said to show no signs of improvement. He remains in about the same condition that he was several months ago, and will never be able to resume his seat upon the bench again Not having been on the bench long enough to entitle him to be retired, it is not expected by his associates that he will resign until Congresses passes 8 special act to meet his case. With Justice Hunt too much disabled to at tend to any official work, and one place on the bench vacant, the court is crip' pied in it's circuit duty, and next winter will put the court still further behind in deciding pending cases?

IRELAND will have, if the reports are true, an excellent harvest this year An unusually large area of the island is under cultivation, and the outlook has not been so favorable for crops since 1872. The tillage in Leinster comprises a million and half of acres, and the barley there is fine, while the hay is crop is the most abundant on record Hay is also a large crop in Ulster, and much of it will probably find it's way across St. Georges Channel, to supple. ment the falling off in the English pro, ductions.

A FISH propagating company at Cali fornia is experimenting with frog farm. New Brunswick furnished the material to start with, 130 frogs being sent from there packed in French moss, in box plentifully supplied with perforations for the admission of air. The moss was frequently moistened on the way. On the arrival of the box at it's destination only 112 frogs were found, and of these ten were dead. It is supposed that the eighteen that were missing had been eaten during the journey by their com panions in confinement.

 POSTMASTER GENERAL JAMES, in letter to the chief of the Dominion postal service, states that no Canadian mail bags have ever been used in the domestic service of the United States, and that no special inter- national pouch will be required if the bags empty, to the exchange offices. That this is not done on the Canadian side is shown by the recent dispatch of closed mails from Montreal to Winnipeg in United States sacks.

SOMETHING like 1900 years ago, on the shores of the Sea of Gallilee, it was de- clared not the fair thing to put new wine into old bottles. A St. Louis judge has just confirmed this declaration. A merchant was arrested for selling cider and soda put up in old bottles, labeled with the "blown in" trade mark of other firms, and was fined. He bought the bottles at junk shop, but as the law imposed fine of 8 to S200, or impris- onment for a term not exceeding three months, for the use by any person of bottles with the name of the original owner blown in the glass, the party had to stand the fine imposed.-Kansds CiW 1TmPs.

 THE attention of Gen. Grant has been called to the various publications describ- ing the frequent visits on his part to Vice President Arthur, to consultations with the Vice President and other public men in Washington. Gen. Grant requests the an- nouncement that there is no truth in any of these statements.
 TIE Republican state convention of New York met in New York city. Some mem- bers were inclined to believe that Gen. Arthur would resign the craftsmanship of the committee, while others claimed his resignation would not be handed in. He did not, however, put in an appearance when the meeting was called to order. Ex- Senator Platt was called to the chair. It was decided to hold the Republican State Convention in New York city, October 5.
 THE Tammany Committee on Organiza- ton met and passed resolutions denouncing the encroachments of corporate monopolies declaring that the Democratic party would earnestly strive not only to enunciate its principles and platforms, but embody them in laws which, while recognizing the rights of the capitalists, would also protect the public interests. That laws relating to the use of money at elections and bribery of legislators should be so amended that chances for detection would be increased and that our canals should be made free and improved so they may meet the in- creased competition to which they are now exposed.

A TUB race at Atlantic City, the other day, drew crowd of 5000 persons. The people didn't care so much about the race, but the sight ofa washtub was quite reve- lation to most of them. Several of the young ladies were quite enthusiastic in their expressions of delight, one of them remarking the washtub's rugged, un- assuming beauty was quite too oyerpow- ering for idle words.

be no necessity for the retention of an arm ed vessel here, the expense of which is greater than that of a civil government need be, but without civil law and means of it's prompt execution, it will be necessary to continue an armed force in these waters.
 Third-The recent discoveries of the rich deposits of precious metals in Southeastern Alaska will undoubtedly prove the sources of great wealth. and are already attracting immigration. Without extension of land laws so as Co place the lands in the market and laws to perfect titles and protect capital, developments must be greatly retarded Another great resource of this section is the timber, which also needs the sanction of law for it's development.
 Fourth-Besides these there are two other resources-the fur trade, which in this sec ton is dependent on the native tribes, and fisheries capable of yielding immense wealth but also needing law fortheir development We do declare that by reason of these facts there exists a positive and urgent ne- cessity for a civil government for that DOT ton of Alaska which includes the mineral and timber belt of the territory. We do further declare that for want of such government this section of Alaska has been for fourteen years useless piece of terri tory to the United states, while with devel- opments it's civilization and value would be rapidly advanced. We, therefore, re- spectfully but most earnestly insist that some such form of government be imme- iiately provided for and extended over it, and to this end we ree pectfully demand the accrediting of the delegate to be elected un- der the proceedings now proposed as the legal and true representative of this people and ask that he be accepted as such by con gress. If it be objected that there has been no enabling act to authorize such an election, we reply that the failure of congress to pre- scribe the manner in which we may acquire possession of an admitted right should not be held to invalidate our efforts to possess it,made in compliance with the spirit of the laws and by the best.means at our disposal Wherefore we pray that our petition be gras ted, and our delegate received as the legal representative of this territory in the Forty seventh congress, and permitted to advocate the legislation we so much need.
 Done in convention this 18th day of August, 1881, at the town of Harrisburg, Alaska.

A correspondent writing from Chey-

Wyoming elections, as is well k, o Nn,
the woman are power which cannot
be ignored. When the occasion seems
to require it the better sort OF ladies 20
to the polls, rs well as the ignorant and
vicious
From my own observation | shou
say that the woman voter, while less
familiar with character and party prin-
ciples, is more conscientious, independ-
ent and instnctively right than the
male voter. They scratch their tickets
a good deal.
At the polls there is nothing Obi cction-
able to the lady voter. The law requires
cleared space Of fifteen feet square in
front of the ballot box The utmost
quiet prevails, and when a lady walks
up to deposit her ballot she meets
nothing bnt Difference and po)iteness
from officials and spectators. Usually
they ride up TO the polling places in car
riages provided by the party managers.
| The lady, with her vote air ady pre-
| pared, alights from the carriage, the
| crowd, ii any, quietly falls back to open
the passageway, while she walks to the
window or opening behind which sits
| the clerk and election judges, gives her
| name, drops her vote on the box and
returns Her age is not inquired into
Nobody challenges woman's vote.

cours &c to DO that thing is not known
