think that under the circumstances the publication
nj Attornev-Gc General Brcwster's letter to Sanders
was judicous The effect has been to intensity the

render the conviction Of any of the accused and

opropration bill two three years ago. the jurors
,cc drawn half from the members of one political
party and half from the other. The result IN these
cases will therefore, be disagreement of the jury"
L think" continued the gentleman, " that the
ratification of the letter was unfortunate III another
aspect There has lately been great deal Of dis
satisfaction md trouble in the ranks of the Demo
cratic party in our State and the effects of this let
ter will probably be 10 heal these differences and
,ring the Democrats together again in common
ause."
What are the elements of dissatisfaction :"
sked the correspondent.
We'll in the first place there is the registration
NV. which is Objectionable TO many Democrats as
,ell as TO the Republicans. From time immemo-
ial the white people of South Carolina had been ac-
ustoned to vote without going to the
rouble of having their names registered
20 do that subjects the poorer
md more ignorant among them to considerable in
convenience, which the intelligent and wealthy do
rot feel. Again of the 10000 OF 10000 white Dem
)crats in the State, from one-fh TO one-fourth
not read and they do not like the plan Of having
TX or seven different alots each for the different
,iicers to be voted for They do not like to show
'seir ignOrlIc cc lad besides they do not NOW how
badly they oso being treated by his new tangled
arrangement
In tho ocond place the lev ! W requiring farm

instead of their crops, has aroused
violent opposition against the large

eqmbined 10 prevent the execution Of the new law,
f9d very bitter feeling exists. In some localities,
iSls SAID, regular kuKluX organizations have been
formed among the poor white Democrats.

South Carolina, but the publication of Mr.

this rock the two men travelled slowly
and YEARLY. They sighted deer once
but could not get rear them. They
shot n grouse, and caught an eel
which was all tbs food they had. They
made a kind Of tea from the barko of the
Arctic willow, but often had only hot
water to drink. They chewed and ate
portions of their skin brooches and the
leather soles of their moccasins. The
next point on which Noros is clear is
that about two days after leaving the
captain they crossed the Lena to the
east side In the hope of finding him in
the mountains and that 1t took them
a very long time to cross on the ice at
that point. L Judge. therefore that the
place crossed by them is the broad ex-
panse of the Lena marked on the map
as near Sagasta. Therefore, L conclude
that the seach will have to be made to
the north of this expansion of the river.
Noros believes that Winderman will be
able to point out where they left the
captain. Noros offered to go himself
with Melville on search but for some
reason or other
MELVILLE REFUSED HIS ASSISTANCE.
The rest of the journey of the two men
Is told In Winderman's language. 1
have only to add that if the names
given by Noros may not agree with the
chart seat to the navy department by
Melville, L have simply told the story
as I got it, and it seems clear enough
had Melville begun the search from the
south upward instead of going first to
the north he would have found the sur
viyors and perhaps all in good time. L
must add too. the first dispatches sent
from \ akutsk appear to have done in
to Noros and Winderman,
making 1t appear as If they had de-
serted their comrades, taking the boat
with them. The boat had been aban-
doned long before and, as I said, Noros
tells a straight story.

New York, May 6.-Of Collins, the
Times obituary notice says: He was
born in Cork, Ireland, October II, 1S41.
His father, Mark Collins, was a mer-
chant and manufacturer of that CITY
and also a member of the town coun-
Gil for two years. At the Mansion
house school young Collins showed a
liking for the exact sciences and stud
led under Sir John Benson, city and
harbor engineer. He was made assis-
tant to the engineer of the corporation
and had charge of the erection Of seve-
raj important works In the river and
and harbor. Then he went to England
where he made several railroad surveys
and had charge of important construc-
tions in the middle countries. In 1866
he came to New York. He found en-
ployment with the Union Pacific rail
road and subsequently accepted the
task of retaining marsh lands in New
Jersey, near Newark. This was sue
cessfully completed in the fall of 1868.
THE following year he became street
commissioner Of Hudson City, n. j.,
and afterwards was appointed chief EN-
gineer Of the marsh land company and
elected director and secretary. Taking
a fancy for Journalism he became a re-
gular member of the Herald's editorial
staff in 1875. His greatest success was in
the weather service, and after Il series
of careful experiments he began send
ing storm predictions for the Herald tc
Europe. In 1873 he attended the me
neurological congress in PARIS, where he
read two papers on the rationale o.
storm warnings.

Sponge Culture.

From the recently issued report Of Pro-

the United States, we CLEAN some very in.
teresting facts regarding the recent de
yelopment Of sponge culture, luong the
more recent enterprises in the way Of the
artificial propagation Of aquatic animals.
Professor Oscar Schmidt, OF the Uniyer
sity of Gratz, has been so successful in
his preliminary efforts in the artificial pro
pagauon OF the sponge that the Austrian
Government has authorized him 10 attempt
the development OF the industry on the
coast 81 Dalmatia The process is very
simple, consisting in selecting the proper
season in the spring, dividing a living
marketable sponge into numerom small
pieces, and then fastening them TO stakes
driven into the sea bottom. These frag-
nlenis al once begin to grow out, and al
the end Of given time each one becomes
Az Entire sponge. According 10 DR.
sclinidi, three years is sufficient length

adjoining nests, in loft, in Tayinloan
Inn, Kintyre, were five kittens and set
ting hen. A day or two after the kittens
were born the hen removed from the nest
in which she was and took possession of
them, but the cat removed them from the
loft to small enclosure in anotherhouse
The hen soon found out the place to
which her adopted family had been car
ried, and took to nursing them as before.
On this an understanding was come to be-
tween the real and the foster mother. The
hen allowed the cat to come nt intervals
and nurse them. The hen has never left
the kittens, but devotes to them her whole
time, and has always trusted to food be-
ing brought to her. She takes them I'M
der her wings, clucks to them, and works
about them with her bill, and now, when
they are beginning to move about, she
permits them to climb on her and amuse
themselves, as kittens will. On the other
hand the kittens return to the hen with
the greatest fondness, and seem to regai'
their real mother as nothing more than
creature to supply them with food.
