POLITICAL GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-There is appar
ent surprise among the democratic senators
at Davis election. They generally believ
ed up to the last moment that he would
not accept. Some of them criticize him
pretty severely, saying he has virtually
abandoned his independent position.
democratic senator who generally reflects
his party's sentiment accurately, says Judge
Davis ambition was tempted by a posi-
bility of reaching the presidential chair,
and that overcame his usually good Judg-
ment. 'I believe he did not more than
half get his own consent to accept this po-
sition at the hands of the republicans. and
l feel confident the republicans will be dis
appointed in him. They lay a flattering
JUNCTION to their souls that he will remain
silent on all party questions, and thus
leave them a majority of one. l am salts
fed he will not do anything Of this kind.
I don't believe he viii vote with the repub-
licans any more in the future than he has
in the past have confidence in his in
| tegrity, and while think he made mis-
take in taking this position, he viii never
be guilty of any act that will give the
transaction the color of bargain as far as
he is concerned"
| Another democrat whoi represents the
views of those who criticize Davis, says:
| sT regard Davis election as the result of
bargain; do not mean that certain terms
and conditions were definitely agreed upon;
this am satisfied was not done; but there
was, and is, tacit understanding as to
what Davis is to do for the republicans.
He understands that he is expected to vote
on all questions where the republicans
want majority and he viii comply The
republicans were too smart to demand
definite pledge from David Davis, and be-
cause they did not, the old man persuaues
himself that there was no bargain, and that
the country will see the affair in that light.

A Tea CnltiYator Wanted.

The manager of large tea farm in
India appeals, through the Scientific
american, to American inventors for
what we may call spading machine,
to be used in the cultivation of tea
plants; the machine to be worked
either by bullock or steam power
The tea bushes on the estate IN our
correspondents care are mostly planted
four feet by four feet apart, in plots
eighty plants broad by four hundred
and twenty plants long a few acres are
planted four feet by five feet and five
feet by five feet, in fields of the same
length and breadth. Many tea gardens,
however, are planted five feet by five
feet. The tea bush grows from three
to four feet high it occupies about a
square foot of ground at bottom, and
at top spreads so that the lines of
bushes almost sometimes quite) touch
each other. The nearest approach in
America to tea field, our correspon-
dent thinks, is q plot Of gooseberry
bushes, which somewhat resemble the
tea bushes, minus the thorns. In gen.
eral aspect an ordinary cotton field
might be compared, we imagine, to a
tea field; and possibly a machine
suited for the cultivation of the one
might be readily adapted for use in the
other.
The India tea fields are dug by hand
from twelve to fifteen inches deep, the
upper surface, grass, ETC., being turned
over and buried and the subsoil brought
up to the top, A days work for a
cody is to dig one line across field,
or 1880 square feet The ordinary pillow
will not answer for this work, as it
leaves one side of the bushes unculti-
waited and cuts the roots Of the bushes
on the other. The horse hoe or cult
vator has been tried, but it does not
cut deep enough, it does not turn the
soil over, and it Injuries the outer stems

Miraculous Escape.
TMt. Pleasant Nowa) Journal. ]

It is an experience vouchsafed to very
few, to tread along the border land OF
death and yet come back to life reserved
as If by amiracle. Yet such was the ex-
perience Of Professor Tice, Of st. Louis,
the day following the conclusion OF his
course of lectures at Burlington, Iowa,
lately, as we learned from Mr.. SamI L.
Pyle, the well-known druggist OF MT.
Pleasant, in relation to the case. Pro-
lessor Tice gives the strongest indorse-
ment of the efficacy of st. Jacobs Oil,
which it is possible to give. 1t pro.
duced immediate relief in an attack Of
neuralgia Of the chest, where the pulse
had gone down to thirty-fve per min
ute, and scarcely perceptible. In half
an hour his pulse was restored to its
normal beat Of eighty. -Four appoint
ments of lectures had to be cancelled in
consequence. Professor lice credits
the st. Jacobs Oil with having saved
his life. Mr.. Geo. F. W. Wiley, the
widely-known teacher here, in response
to an inquiry concerning the remedy,
said: With great pleasure I bear testi-
mony to the peculiar healing properties
Of st. Jacobs Oil, in rheumatic pains.
Having been a sufferer with this dis
tressing malady for years do say that
the curative effects of the st. Jacobs
Oil in my case surpassed those Of any
other rheumatic remedy, many of which
had been forced to use. Mr.. E. Rugg
spoke from personal experience in stat
ing that he had suffered great deal
from rheumatism, and been troubled at
different times with sore throat. He
purchased a bottle Of st. Jacobs Oil
from Mr.. Pyle, and after three or four
applications was relieved of his ailment.
Asking Mr.. W. A. Rouse what he knew
about the article he said: After great
suffering with pain in the left side, at
tended with severe collie, I was recon-
mended to use st. Jacobs Oil. I pur-
chased bottle, took two doses and ap-
piled some externally. was relieved
Immediately and have not experienced
any pain since; that of my left side
from which had suffered for more
than one year having left me. Such
experiences as these carry conviction
with them to all fair minded and
thoughtful people, and more firmly
establish the merit of that famous
remedy which, too, has our indorse-
ment.

Man and Woman Compared.

nj. Delaunay, VINO is Well-KnOWn anu
respected as man Of science in France,
has recently published small work on
woman's physical and intellectual status
as compared with mans, in which he
takes bold ground at the very start,
and proceeds, by scientific facts and OBJ
servations, to show that in all highly
civilized societies woman is not mans
equal. During the first twelve years Of
life the female in certain respects excels
the male, and among peasants it often
happens that the female is the superior
person of the two but as age advances,
and particularly as we rise in the scale
of culture, the difference is reversed,
and in greater ratio as the intelligence
becomes greater. Thus the superiority
of woman is sometimes met with among
inferior races, but never among superior
ones. Among the signs Of woman's
physical inferiority, M. Delaunay cites
these: The nutritive phenomena with
her are less intense; the blood is less
dense, and contains fewer red and more
white globules she eats less, although
she eats more frequently; her pulmo-
nary capacity is less and she absorbs
less oxygen /; her temperature is lower;
her skeleton, in proportion to the total
weight OF the body, is lighter; she
is not so right-handed /; although she
often appears larger, she is not so
heavy; she is more fat-footed and less
arched, which is "a sign Of inferiority;;"
her voice is sharper; her movements
are less precise, and among pianists the
mechanism reaches in her much lower
degree of perfection that in man. Res
pecting mental endowments, III. Delau-
nays observations are these The era
mum in woman has not so great Ca
pacity as the Uranium in man, the mean
capacity Of the two being 1.446 and
1925 cubic centimetres respectively, a
difference Of 220 centimetres against
woman in woman the Uranium is less
high and more elongated it is not SO
heavy and, finally, quoting another
writer, M. Delaunay says that among
the most intelligent societies in the
world there is notable proportion of

the volume of those of certain gorillas"
than do the least developed crania OF
the masculine ex-aslibelous statement,
which is printed because it is interest
ing, and not because it is true. M. De-
launay holds further that women have
not shown themselves equal to men on
their own ground when given equal OPP
portunities Female musicians from
education have become very excellent
performers, but there are none
who have become great composers.
II, is the same, he says, with
painting and the art of cooking.
Among the thousands of women who
have exercised the latter art, there have
been few, if any, cordons 61eus. Even
as printers, while women work with
minute care, they work mechanically
and "without knowing very well what
they are doing" As we said before, M.
Delaunay's statements are reprinted
merely for what they are worth.
