A Curiosity in the Smithsonian.

One sees many curious things while
strolling throuh the Smithsonian fnsti-
tuition. In one of the cases there is q
small, irregular piece of mating, about
six inches long and two or three wide.
1t is made of the bark of the Southern
cane, and although coarse when COM
pared with the mating made by the
Chinese, it is well and neatly made.
This small piece of mans handiwork
might form the basis for treatises and
lectures innumerable. 1t was found on
Petit Anse Island, near VermilliOn Bay,
coast of Louisiana. This island contains
a mine of rock salt, which was discov-
cred during the late war, and which
seems to be unlimited in depth and ex-
tent. Not far from the surface of the
salt the piece of mating was dicovered,
and it was probably preserved by the
salt. Two feet above the mating were
found the tusks and bones of an ele-
plant, and these bones were fourteen
feet below the present surface of the
soil. The question irresistibly arises,
how many years has it been since ele-
plants lived upon this continent, and
what race of men capable of manufac-
turing such mating, lived and flourished
hundreds of years before them?- Wash

A StrOng-Mindcd Lady.

The st. James Gazette prints the fol-
lowing Renaissance of indirect female
suffrage three centuries ago: Jane
Dorothy Pakington, a famous Bucking-
hamshire worthy, who owned the manor
of Aylesbury in Queen Elizabeth's reign,
ruled her voters with a rod of iron. To
all intents and purposes she was the
member for her own borough, the bur-
gesses she sent to Westminster being
merely the spokesman of her pleasure.
This appears from a manifesto she issued
after the. comedy of an ''election"
for Aylesbury was concerned in 1872:
g To all Christian people to whom this
present writing shall come" she writes,
/" 1, Dorothy Pakington, lord and owner
of the town of Aylesbury, send greeting.
Know We, we, the said Dame Dorothy
Pakington, to have chosen, named and
appointed my trusty and welI-beloved
Thomas -Lichfield and George Boredom,
Esquires, to be my Burgesses of the said
town of Aylesbury; and whatever the
said Thomas and George, Burgesses,
shall do in the. service of the Queens
Highness in that present Parliament to
be holden at Westminster the Sd day of
May next ensuing the date hereof, l,
the same Dorothy Pakington, do rattle
and approve to be my own act as fully
and wholly as if 1 were and might be
present there. In witness whereof to
these presents have set my seal this All
day of May, in the 14th year of our
Sovereign Lady Elizabeth"

A Balloon Voyage.

Mr.. Hashagen, of the Signal Service, who
accompanied Prof. King on his recent bal
loon voyage, gives an account of their adj
ventures, in which he says:
% Before five minutes after leaving terra
hrma we reached an altitude of 4 800 feet,
moving southwest. A few minutes later we
reached an upper current, moving slowly
westward, so slowly that we barely moved.
But what a prospect beneath us! Chicago,
which at best fs barely endurable to the
down Easter, was now n thing of beauty,
but not a Joy forever for we were shut
out by ni.ht and had nothing but its myr-
lads of lights twinkling in the distance. We
remained there suspended, neither rising
nor falling, for several hours, but at last a
pun OF air sent us southwest, changing, be-
fore morning, to west and northwest
While going southwest we remained be-
calmed about three hours, swinging in
circle over small city that, from its loca-
ton, judged to be Peoria, Ill. After get
ting tired Of the earthly stars we turned in
and took cat maps At 5:I5 O'Clock on
Friday We passed over Spring Valley, Wis,
startling the natives by dragging our drag
rope over their roofs, and one ambitious
fellow, probably thinking we were odd
Afterward we passed over the Platte
Mounds, at Z: 10 u. III. As though dissatis-
fed with her late action and wishing to give
us a heavenly view, our balloon took an up
ward turn, carrying us four thousand feet
above the strata Of clouds and literally bury
ing us in milk for an hour. In passing Lit
tie Falls, Monroe County, Wis, we came SO
near the ground that we came in contact
with the trees and were compelled to take
large portion Of one along as u souvenir.
AT 12:43 p. III. the highest known
elevation was reached, being o, 600 feet.
From the last person spoken we found we
were forty miles from st. Paul, and when
we descended at 2:30 p. IN. on the west
bank OF the river, one-half mile inland, we
concluded that we were in the State of Min
nesota, probably forty miles south of St.
Paul, on the Mississippi River. With this
supposition in mind we stepped out of our
ear into about eighteen inches of Ice water;
found we were III cranberry bog and had
to get out. To relate our experience after
that, for the succeeding five days, is too hor-
rible. How We walked live days, up to our
knees in bogRy swamps, without food, eX
cept a half-pint of berries; how the wolves
and bears snarIed around us at night; how we
slept on the wet ground at night through
heavy frosts, only TO start again i'll the
morning through the swamp, with its ice
water, and falling over muddy logs at every
step, L cannot put in words. AS last
sort we built a raft, expecting to go over
st. Anthony Falls. But oh! our joy when,
at four O'Clock on the evening OF the fifth
day, we reached Flambeau River, and were
carried across by Cleramere Bertrand and
Michael Miner, woodmen, and here we are,
enjoying the good things before u.s.

Mr.. TiIden Speaks.

The great leader who redeemed New
York to honest government from the
Tweed thra!ldom and to complete DEM
ocratic control, and who led tho Demo-
cratic party to overwhelming victory in
the country five years ago. has been
compelled to speak in reply to several
letters from prominent Democrats in
New York asking his advice as to their
being candidates for office. The head
and heart of the venerable statesman
are as clear and sound as ever, as will
be seen by reading the following letter:
GRAYsroNE, October q, 1881.

sure of claims upon my attention during my

ton If your nomination would be Disagree

partisan of any particular candidate but to
cOnpne myself to such advisory sux gestiOns
as might seem fit and useful during the delib-
erations of the Convention; to defer largely
to the Judgment OF the best men of
the counties found at the Convention in view
of the immediate action on the complex con-
sidcrations which enter INTO the formation of

not undertaken any such function on he pres

en- credit to the idle fiction of Republican and
other newspapers, which ascribes to me de-
sire to control the nominations and canvass
for the present year, with view to becoming
a candidate for Governor next year. The
truth is, ran for Governor in 1873 simply for
the purpose of sustaining the reform move

the Office for a second term in any possible
event, nor would now entertain the idea of
returning to IT, even if had battered my self

Thc Republican Succession.

1t is amusing to see the Republican
papers bringing endless strings of
WORLDS together to explain why Mr..
BlaiHe should not remain in the Cabi-
net without telling the real reason
They attempt to assure us that the
President and Mr.. Blaine are on the
most affcctionatc terms; that Mr.. Blaine
can remain at the head of the State
Department if he wants to; that the
PresideD. has invited him to remain:
that there is no necessary impeachment
to his resigning, and that if he should
finally decide not to remain it will be
for reasons entirely consistent with the
most cordial good feeling between the
Administration and himself.
This is all nonsense, and the Repub-
lican papers know it. MIR. Blaine goes
out because he cannot remain. His re-
tention is a political impOssibility, I'M
less Mr.. Blaine becomes something else
than Mr. Blaine. The facts are too
plain to be misconstrued. Mr.. Blaine
went into the Garfield Cabinet, as he
has taken pains to let us know, with
the purpose of shaping the succession
of using his personal and official in
fluence to secure the reelection of
President Garfield. This is what he
told Mr.. Garfield, and the letter in
which he told him he has recent
ly given to the public. How then
can he occupy place in a new Adj
ministration which everybody knows
will be engaged in schem;ng to
make somebody else the next
President? With what show of con-
sistency could he take part in a plan to
give the succession to General Grant, or
Mr.. Conkling, or Mr.. Arthur. all of
whom were opponents, and two of them
personal opponents of President Car
held and himself? 1t cannot be said
that he might remain in the Cabinet
and have nothing to do with the Ad-
ministration's Presidential scheming,
for between the President and his Sec
rotary of Staterthere must exist the
most friendly relations. The Secretary
must know what his chief is about. and
must approve it.
Whether Grant, Conkling or Arthur
is to be the recipient of the new Ad-
ministration's favor and influence for
the succession we do not know as yet,
but that it has its favorite and will ex-
ert all the influence it can bring to bear
to make him President, all observers of
politics know. And of this Mr.. Blaine
and the other friends of the late Presi-
dent have no grounds to complain, see-
ing that it is only an imitation of their
own example. The Arthur Administra-
ton has as much right to labor to secure
the succession for Arthur as the Gar
field Administration had to direct it
toward Garfield, but as Mr.. Blaine is
fresh from participation in one scheme
he can not be trusted to participate in
the other. nor can he be allowed to re-
main in the Cabinet while maneuvring
to secure the succession for himself

The Negroes and the Republ' can Party.

There are symptoms at last of real
awak ening OF something like political
life, in the Anglo-SaXon sense of that
phrase, among the colored people of
the United States. and these symptoms
are not favorable to the continued sue
cess of the original ''stalwart' plan of
using the negro votes of the South in
aid OF the Republican party.as the Tory
landlords of Great Britain SO long used
the votes of their pocket boroughs. At
a late meeting of the Good Templars in
London the Rev. DR.. Tanner, editor of
the Christian Recorder, the official
organ of the African Methodist Episco-
pal Churches. declared that his people
suffered not in the South alone but
throughout the United States from the
spirit of caste" He said he did not
believe .'that of the $4,000, 600 of peo-
pie in America there was an unhappier
class than the better educated of the
colOrcd race. Nothing that
they could do would admit them into
society" Exactly the same spirit
breathes through the recent official
proclamation made by the organ of the
colorcd population that 1.-THE colored
man is not satisfied with his present
status in the Republican party" that
.'while he is calledupon to do his share
OF labor for the success OF The party,
when success is achieved, the fruits of
victory are disposed of without
consulting his wishes or his in
terests;" that he lis preparing
himself for other affiliations and for
more advantageous alliances" and
that the first step in this direction is
1.-THE movement that recently gave the
coup de grace to the Republican organ
ization of Virginia" These views can
not be called unreasonable. The Re-
publican party has been eminently
unjust to the freedmen at the South.
During the era of reconstruction the
negroes were used to help the scala
wags and carpet baggers to accumulate
fortunes, the scraps of the feast being
thrown to the least respectable and
of the colored men.
Nothing was done to educate the negro
to qualify him for the discharge of the |
duties suddenly thrust upon him, to
enable him to hold his own in the COM
petition with his white ncighbors, and |
to conquer their esteem and friend
ship. To teach him the advantages of
thrift and forethought the Republicans !

CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

In the Senate, on the 29th, Mr.. Hill,
Of Georgia, offered the following:
ResOlred, That appointments to offices
under the Federal Government ought not to
be made to control or influence elections In
the several States, and the appointments
made with such intent are unwise, unpa-
trfotlc and contrary to the spirit OF our pO-
litical institutions, and IL continued with
out rebuke by the people will become dan
gerous to the perpetuity of our institutions.
The resolution was laid over and exccu-
tive session followed. While the doors were
still closed, but after the transaction of ex-
ecutive business, committee appointed to
wait upon the President reported that he
had nothing further to communicate, and a
motion to adjourn sine die was agreed to.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr.. Davis.
responding to which he declared the Senate
adjourned.
For want of a quorum the Republic
cans Of the Senate were forced to abandon
the confirmation of Stratham as Postmas-
ter at Lynchburg, Va. 1t was
understood he would receive the appoint
ment from the President as soon as the SEN
ate adjourned, no confirmation being then
required.
THE delegates of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Convention called on the
President on the 10Th. Mrs. Willard, Pres
ident of the Convention, made Il short ad-
dress, asking the political and moral aid OF
the President to the object of the conven-
ton. The President replied briefly that he
was in earnest sympathy with the movement
to rescue men from evil habits.
