WHALES MILK
Said to be Good for Certain Diseases.
R0ckkand G0Mriek- Gazetka.

Said to be Good for Certain Diseases.
Rockiand Courier Gazette.
Whales milk is now highly recon-
mended for certain diseases. The only
difficulty that we can see in carrying out
the idea is in getting the milk. Who will
milk the whale? Nobody has ever tried
it, and it isn't known whether or not the
moral nature of the whale will permit
such liberties being taken. OF course if
you could get whale OF good dispOsl-
ton, one that is kind and affectionate
by nature. there would be no diff
Guilty, but suppose you ran across
whale that is vicious, and just as you get
the pail full of milk she flaps her
tail around and catches you in the eve,
and then steps in the pail? Though, come
to think of it, whale couldn't step in the
pail, because she hasn't any feet-but we
don't know as that makes any difference
either, for yardstick has three feet and
it can't step in a pail. But really and
truly and no joking we don't see how this
whale milk industry is to be cultivated.
Suppose a man wants to go into it for
speculation, and he advertises in advance
that he will supply whales milk to all
kinds of invalids at lowest prices, with re-
duced rates to clubs. 1t will be his object,
of course, to keep a stock of thorough
bred whales, though grades would not
be undesirable. In order to get the best
stock he would have to send vessel after
the whales and lasso a brood in their
watery Businesses. Then he'd tow them
into port and fix up whale orchard-for
Ofcourse they couldn't be kept on land at
first, though after while they might be
crossed with Jerseys or Durhams, and
land breed developed that would be valua-
BILE. Then the only way they could be
MIXED, as it looks to us, would be by a
diver, and as sure as you live if a stran-
ger went pOking around a whale in a suit
of diving armOr he would be certain to
tickle her, and would make her laugh,
which would be liable'tO curdle the milk.
1t always curdles a whales milk when
she laughs, so we are informed by those
versed in whaleology. But suppose
the diver escaped the tickling-and of
course he could do this after he got used
to it-hOW could he milk into a pail under
water? The water would run into the
pail in that case as freely as it does in or
binary milking ON land, and the result
would be milk like that in every day use,
with possibly not quite so much water.
Nobody is more friendly than we to new
industries of this character, and we are
glad to encourage anything that will anne
iOrate the condition of invalids, but the
whale milk business strikes us as being
a tPifle farfetched. Better leave the whale
to furnish stiffening for women's dress
waists and let its milk accomplishments
remain uncultiVated.

Great Britain.


The wealth of Great Britain is not the
least of its wonders. The annual income
OF the nation is set down at Sc, ,235, ,000, 900.
The probate and succession duty paid in
England shows the accumulated wealth
of the mOneyed classes to have amounted
to $26, 200, ,000 600 in 1860, to $34 400, 600 900
in 1870, and to $41.1OO, 100000 in 1880.
Great Britain has built million and a
half of new houses within the last twen-
ty years, and rebuilt eight hundred thou
sand old ones. The number of taxed
carriages has increased by SO per cent.
since 1860. The bank deposits have
within the same period risen 50 per
cent, making an average of about
81 % for each inhabitant. Farming
lands have diminished in value, as
is shown by recent sales, but the price of
suburban land has greatly increased.
The ratio of paupers has declined from 4
per cent. in 1870 to 3 per cent. in 1890.
Within the last decade the United King
dom has expended on public works over
$1,000 GOO. The clearing house returns.
which averaged $1,475, 900, 900 monthly in
1870, rose to $2,650, ,000, 900 in 1890. During
the last ten years Great Britain has lent
her colonies over $1,340, 600, 900, and, ac-
cording to the Economist, the present
yearly income of Englishmen on foreign
investments alone is over $317, 900, 900.
Each inhabitant of Great Britain was
estimated to be worth on an average
5000 in 1860, 81, 100 in 1870, and 1850 in
1880. The average private expenditure OF
Great Britain for each inhabitant is put
down at over $3.50 year.

More Pension SwindIes.

WAsHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE report O
Second Auditor Ferris and its considera.
tiOns by Attorney General Brewster have
led to another branch of investigations
connected with the swindling of soldiers
by claim agents. The District ATTORNEY
has discovered that a number of firms
here have issued circulars soliciting
claims for additional bounty and asking
and accepting fees in advance for the
pretended prosecution of this class
of claims. The fraud arises
from the fact that the time for filing these
claims expired under the law of June 80
1880. Since that time the Second Auditor
has not received them. The practice OF
the firms now found to be engaged in this
business has been to accept these cases
take the fees and stack the applications
away i'm their offices.

Architectural Glor1es.


Owing to convenient cOntiguity to a
rich stone quarry it has come to pass
that New York is one of the sOmbrest
looking cities in the world. The dream
of the rich New Yorker, realized in the
case of Mr.. Vanderbilt, is to live in
brown-stone house; the height Of respect
ability is to live in a brOwn-stOne front
house-that is to say, to show bold
veneer of browu-stOne to the world that
passes along the main street, putting off
YOUR neignbors at the back with ordinary
brick. No words can adequately convey
a notion of the depressing shade of New
York brOwn-stOne house. 1t is something
of the color of chocolate, without the
red tint which relieves it from abso-
Lutte dullness. 1t gives the observer
the idea that there is a house
once strong and healthy, now sickening
with vague disease. 1t is impossible to
conceive any color on the palette that
would set off or even harmonic with this
sickly hue. But the wind is tempered to
the shOrn lamb, and New York has an
architectural glory, perhaps two, which
cover multitude of brown stone fronts.
The lesser one is the white marble
cathedral in Fifth avenue, the finest
modern building of the kind | ever saw.
The other, a marvel of combined beauty
and strength, is the Brooklyn bridge,
which is worth journey across the At
lantic to see. Looked at from distance,
whether near or far, it seems to span the
broad river with gOssamer web, yet an
army might march across it or the popu-
lation OF small town might live upon it
without fear OF the yawning gulf below.

ARTHUR'S NOMINATION.
THE EFFECT OF THE ET.Eo,TToNS
ON HIS CHANCES.

Tammany's Organ Comedies Him New.
York, and Thinks His Do-Nothine.
Policy Has at Least Made Him No
Enemies in His Party-He Leads In
the List of Republican Candidates.
Neao Fors Courier-JournaE Special, Noe g.
Ihe election past, politicians are be-
ginning to weigh its effects on the chances
OF the various Presidential candidates.
PRESIDENT Arthur's friends are said to be
particularly hopeful over the result in
New York, and some of them 90 so far as
10 cIalm that 1t makes Arthur's renomi-
natlOn a necessity. The Tammany organ
here, with whose chief Arthur has al
ways been on intimate terms, says to-day:
"Ihe election in this State on Tuesday
places President Arthur at the head of
the Republican candidates for 1884 The
Presidential election will hinge on this
State. Arthur has shown that he has a
possibility of carrying New York, and
this fact brings him to the front. The
only real question settled by the RepubIi-
can State Convention this fall was the
character of the State Committee. The
State ticket was nominated already. On
the question of the committee there was a
conflict OF opinion. Arthur virtually
chose the committee. He was under
stood to be the issue, and the campaign
has been carried on virtually for him
do HIS OWH successor. III Is impossible
to deny that the result has far exceeded
the most sanguine Republican anticipa-
tions, and il Arthur cannot carry the
State next fall it may be safely said that
no other Republican can carry it. Ar
thurs course, since he became President,
has been Unexpectedly and remarkably
conciliatory. AT first he showed stalwart
predictions. He remembered his friends,
but he soon adopted a wiser and more
coneiliatory course. He has placated
the Garfield wing of the party to n great
extent. There is very little criticism on
his conduct in the Republican party of
late. His lethargy saves him deal Of
trouble. By dong nothing he makes no
enemies. The government runs itself, and
the general condition of the country is
such through the industry and thrift of
the people that there is no discomfort to
speak of. The circumstance is that
while Arthur has awakened no en-
thusiasm, he has provoked no Republican
antagolism, and possession of the office Is
nine points in his favor. To-day he leads
the list of Republican candidates. The
result of the election Tuesday gave him an

COX FORGING TO THE FRONT
How the Elections Effected the Speaker
ship Contest.

How the Elections Effected the Speaker
ship Contest.
n Washington special, November 10th.
says That there are twenty members of
the Lower House of both parties in Wash
lngton. There are two subjects talked
about-the Speakership and the elections.
The elections are a new and important
factor in the Speakership contest They
are discussed with special reference to
their effect upon RandalPs chances.
There are TWO theories as to the manner
in which he will be affected. One is, that
Randall will be strengthened in that the re-
suit IN Virginia shows that the Republi-
cans are likely to revive the old issue
of a solid North against a solid South:
that Randall will be able to keep obJec-
tl0naDle issues out of the campaign and
will prevent any possible agitation of the
tafl11; and that if the Democracy is pru-
dent 1t will avoid any such dividing issue
III the close States of the North. notably
i'll New Jersey and Indiana. The second
view is, that the election has weakened
Randall. Those who advance this theory
point not south of the Potomac, but to
Pennsylvanla, and say that Randall and
the Democratic protectionists of that
state, with reform Democratic Governor
at Harrisburg, in an off-year have been
unable to retain the control of the
State, and that that fact alone
shows that the Democratic alliance
with the protectionists is futile; that the
Democracy will do well to assert itself,
declare its principles for revenue tariff
only, abandon the ostrich policy. and
draw sharply the line throughout the
whole country exactly on the tariff.
Meanwhile, the friends of Cox are much
more confident than they were, and the
indications are that he will have strength
in unexpected quarters. He has votes in
Ohio, in California, in Texas, ard in many
portions of the South. The Speakership
canvass now seems very much closer than
it has been. The leading candidates are
more nearly even, and the elections have
not rendered the situation less compli-

the Adjutant Generals of the several
States, proposing that a national encamp-
ment, to consist of some of the best com

and troops of the national guard from
every State, be held in Washington some
time during the month of May, 1884. The
objects of the proposed encampment, as

Congressional aid and encouragement by
showing Congress the high degree of eff

ARCHITECT BELL
Proposing to Make a Clean Sweep in
His Department-What the Clerks Say
About it.
Washington Special

Washington Special.
Mr.. NJ. +. Bell, the new Supervising
Architect, is on hand, and will enter upon
his duties at once. 1t is understood that
he intends to make a clean sweep of the
Augean stables, and give the government
a new administration in fact as well as in
name. Some Of the clerks in the office,
however, profess to entertain different
opinion. They agreed, in talking the mat
ter over to-day, that they were safe for a
year, because Bell would not know
how to run the office without them
for the next twelve months, and it would
take that long before he would learn
enough to disturb one of them. The fact
is that the only way he will ever learn all
about the affairs of the office is to turn out
enough of the Hill regime to keep his sub
ordinates from cOncealing its affairs from
his knowledge. He will learn great deal
faster without than with them. One of the
most corrupt branches of the establish
ment is currently believed to be the model
ing room. 1t is in charge of a Frenchman.
who has surrounded himself with a corps
of his nationality. English is never
spoken about the place, but it is alleged
that the men spend most of their time in
experimenting on air-shiDs, telegraphic
and other private inventions, while they
draw Il fat salary. and thank God they are

things than this are rumored, however.
1t is charged that it has been the
custom to hold back ornamental
designs until the contract was let.
and then if it went to certain faY-
ored parties, directions were passed along
the line mot to put too much work on it:
the contract had been given to o--."
The foreman found it profitable, too, it
is said, to employ such of his countrvmen
who were adventurers, without families,
because he kept boarding-house, where
all the creature comforts were to be had
at current prices.

New Programme of the Republican
Leaders,
Washington Special, Nor. s.


The programme of the RepubIican
leaders here for the campaign next
year has already been announced.
The word has gone forth to shout
again the old war cry of "A Solid
south" Old Republican prejudices at
the North are to be revived if possible by
the claim that the Virginia election was
largely affected by intimidation of the
negroes and appeals to race prejudice.
That this card is to be played next wear
leading Republicans here candidly admit,
and they say that while the Virginia cleo
tiOn promotes a solid South, it will help
to bring about an awfully solid North. 1t
does not seem possible that this imbecile
cry of these desperate politicians can
again deter the people of the North
from voting against the robber crew who
command the Ship of State. Malone was
beaten in Virginia because he was the
chief representative of all that is bad
and corrupt in politics.

a Proposition to District Attorney

--r-HfftaAA -.NstHttffffNffM
Yesterday James Yarbrough. one of the
Banks county kukluX, made an effort to
corrupt District Attorney Speer by an
offer of money. Mr.. Speer was in his
office when DIR. Auten, the Jail physician.
walked in and handed him a sealed letter
that he had brought from the iail. Mr..
Speer opened the letter and found that it
was from James YarbrOugh, who offered
to pay the District Attorney 500 if he
would have him suspended" Hemeant
to offer Mr.. Speer the money if he would
have his sentence suspended. The read
ing of the letter produced a loud laugh in
the District Attorneys office.
The motion for a new trial in the ku-
kluX case and the brief of the evidence
were filed yesterday evening just few
minutes before the ten DAYS allowed by
the order of the court had elapsed. The
defendants counsel did not take the Ste
nographer's report of the testimony, but
prepared their briefs from their own notes.
The case will come up on the 10Th,
or soon after, and Judge TOmpkins will
argue the legal questions.
