THE ISLAND OF JAMAICA.
(Ff0m Calls NeuS letter.

F6rSteY'S Export Bulletin sayS:-So much
notice has lately been directed to the
tOuriShing island of Jamaica that it is
not out of place at this time to direct
attention to its inhabitants, its natural
productions, its internal development and
its advantages as a field for American
export enterprise. Jamaica has an area of
I44 miles in length and 40 miles in width
at its widest part. Some of it is colnpos-
ed OF mountain ranges and fertile plains,
while other portions are marsh and mOraSS
that only require perfect drainage to
prove vastly productive. Kingston, the
principal city, has according to the last
census a population of 10000, while that
OF the whole island will reach about
GOO coo. Besides Kingston are Montego
Bay, Annottoj Bay and Falmouth. Two
lines of steamers run there, the Atlas line
running vice a month to Kingston, and
twice a month along the north shore, and
the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company,
which sends a monthly steamer to King
ston. Another monthly line has recently
been run to Montego Bay on the north side
and one to Port Antonio. There are
telegraph wires all through the island, a
cable to the United States. and a railway
that extends from the principal seaport to
Old Harbor. A belt road is also project
ed. Its population is white and colored,
the latter being noticeably Industrious,
intelligent and enterprising. Among its
products may be mentioned such plants as
the mango, sugar cane, black pepper, the
Glove, the cardamom and many others of
botanical and medical value. Tea will
grow plentifully and jalap Is cultivated for
export. Besides these there are coffee,
dyes. chocolate, woods of various kinds,
fixed and essential oils, and many descrip-
tons of tropical fruits. A fine grade of
tobacco is also raised under expert Cuban
management.
Jdmaica rum, famed the world over fer
its superior medicinal qualities, though
we see but little of the pure article among
us, is manufactured on this island. In our
foreign exchanges we noticed THAT at the
Melbourne Ea exhibition P. Desnoes & Co.,
of Kingston, received a bronze medal for
liqueurs, two awards for miscellaneous
cordials and bitters, and four awards for
Jamaica white and colored runs.
Recently a magnificent flower show was

Electric Railroad Signals.

AT present the Pennsylvania railroad
is experimenting with electric signals on
their line, Eight electric signals have
been placed on the eastern slope of the
mountain division at intervals Of two
miles and n half, connecting all the
blocks on that section Of the road, be-
tween Altoona and Gallitzin. The in
vention thus to be tested is owned by n
Boston firm, and so far has worked adj
mirably. The block signals require no
no attendance but lighting of the lamps.
The ends Of the rail opposite each block
are insulated, and a circuit is thus form
ed running along both rails of the track,
east and west, but detached by the inser-
ton of a web between the joints at the
insulating place, SO that this circuit is
complete between each set of blocks tho
signals OF which the electricity moves,
when the wheels Of an engine or car run
inside Of, say the block at the east end of
tunnel, the rod light or ''banner" is au-
Dramatically set, thus notifying any trains
following that the distance TO the next
signalling place is not clear The cutting
of the circuit by tho wheels sets this sig
nal, but the moment they cross the insu-
lating point at the next one the current
OF electricity is restored, and the white
disc takes the place Of the red on the
very instant, thus showing that the track
for two or two-and-a-hal miles is certain
ly clear. Should rail break between
any two signal stations, the interruption
to tho circuit will cause the green signal
to be shown in each of the towers con-
nected, aud the trainmen thus notified to
proceed with caution. A "tell-tale" wire
is run on the telegraph posts to the sew
eral telegraph towers, and this is arrang-
ed to operate by electricity n miniature
block in each, just as the insulated rails
work the large ones -Attooaa Sun.

THE BUGLE IN BERKSHIRE HILLS.

Up in the glen, as closed the day,
/ thought heard bugle's lay;
Anon its echoes died away
A boy once more, saw q train
Of boys and girls, and on the plain
Men plowed and sowed, and reaped thegrain
For many, many years ago,
A man there was, as white as snow,
His bugle blew as few can blow.
On fire within, his heart and brain
All sang of Washington and Wayne,
For forty years the same old strain
OF Plymouth rock-pure granite STILL.
An honest head, an iron will,
Baptized inblood at Bunker Hill.
He never bowed to king or throne,
Himself the owner of his own,
He worshiped God, and God alone.
Tired at last, he sank to rest
Amopg the daises he loved best
The mountain shadow on his breast
That bugle blast, so wild and strong,
That stirred so many hearts so long
So eloquent of right and wrong,
Still lives, It's said up in the glen
Still echoes in the hearts of men,
And plays the same old tunes again.
Anthems still live, almost unknown;
There's many an ancient trumpet tone
Still heard, although no longer blown.

\ Mares Nest,

A smart Washington correspondent
lately wasted some of his employers
money in telegraphing to his paper at
Cincinnati the following nonsense:
An ingenious plan has been put forward to pre-
vent Vice President Arthur from brea king the tie
1t is TO nominate in Democratic caucus two candi-
dates each for Secretary and Sergeant at Arms two
thirds of the Democrats to vote for one and the
rest for the other, SO that the vote would stand as
follows: For Secretary, John Doe 2i for Secretary
Richard Roe, 13total, 81; for Secretary, George G.
Gorham RepubIican) 81. The decision in this
case, there not being tie, would be: No one
having received majority of all the votes cast
there is no choice; and the vote would be taken
again and again, and kept up indefinitely.
The rules of the Senate do not provide
for choosing officers by ballot. but, on the
contrary, by providing for the choice Of
committees only by ballot, exclude from
that method the choice of officers. It
would require special order of the Sen
ate to have the officers elected by ballot,
and a minority cannot make that order.
The resolutions offered yesterday are in
accordance with the rules and precedents
of the Senate, and there is no device
whereby minority can make the con-
test a three-sided one. The only way to
oppose the persons named is to offer an
amendment TO strike out a name and in
sert another. Amendments being dis
posed of, debate ended, and the Senate
in session, the final vote must be yea or
nay on each resolution declaring the per-
son named therein elected.
