Some of the sworn returns of grosa cara ings received by the Oonptrollsr of New York in accordance with the Corporation Tax law of 1881 are interesting. The New York city railroads report large earnings, and the figures show that the elevated roads have done little damage to traffic over the surface roads. Ths Manhattan elevated re- ports gross earnings of $6, ,M5 .5s9, an in- crease of $421, 1,o11 over last year, while the Third and Sixth avenue surface roads, both of which may be said to run directly in com. petition with the elevated roads, show an in- crease, one Of $s6, Al, and tho other $35,- 491. The Second avenue, which runs for a large part of it's route under the Second ave. nue elevated railroad, shows an increase in it's earnings of $112, ,607. The Fourth ave- nue gains $77, 430 over last year.
 The Utiaca Herald CRep.) gives some first rate advice to the Republican party, as fol- lows The party approaches campaign in which it will have fewer natural advantages than in any in which it has engaged since the Fremont canvass. If it is to win it must rise to the highest level of the demand of it's most
 
 the very best men whose services the party can command; and it must take it's stand most unequivocaliy for the principles which the people desire to have control in the gov ernmsnt. If the popular impression once gets abroad that the time has come whom it is best for the country that the Republican par ty should be relieved of responsibility for the administration, that verdict will be given with an unexpected smphasis-just as the verdict against the Federalist party was given in 1904. It was verdict of annihilation. It would not be pleasant to have the lesson of New York in 1882 repeated in the nation in 1884.
 One of the most interesting exhibits in the London Fisheries exhibition shows every process appertaining to the coral trade from the moment the substance Is netted to the time that it has assumed the graceful forms of adornment. The net is a rough apparatus, consisting of two strong pieces of wood cross- ing each other at right angles, depending from which are fine, loosely plaited ropes that seem to be on the point of disintegra- tion, so broken are their strands. But this | AS SA~sSAAy the fisher is to en tangIe the coral and break it of at the root. The bed of the ocean is | oonscientiously represented. while the coral growing at the bottom is realistic A boat is l shown complste, having the rig peculiar to Italy, while the figures of the crew at work ] are not forgotten. They are ten men and l captain, six of whom are represented in the | model manning the capstan, by which the I net is raised from depth of 400 to 800 metres, while the remainder, with the ex-. ception of the captain, are at the oars. The net is seen dragging along the bottom. aud eatangled in it are the pieces of coral which have been broken of.
 An English clergyman who recently was the cause of the death of a girl has been &C., quilted by jury. The clergyman is Rev. 4r. Tmmins. vicar of West Mailing. He is seventy years old and has the reputation of being very pious, moral and benevolent. Hereafter he will have the reputation of be- ing called very careless, also. The daughter of 6 laborer in his parish was ailinR, and on one of his visits hs ptodScSd bestls and ad- ministered dose therefrom. Soon after he lefs the house her symptoms became alarm.
  ing, and he was sent for and tried to give her some brandy, but he could not get it into her mouth. Before doctor could be obtained the girl died. The autopsy showed death was due to drinking essential oil of almonds. MT. Timmins had sick son and ordered the oil for an external application to be made to him. The apothseary wrote to the clergy man warning him how poisonous was the oil, and asking if it really was what he wanted. He also properly labelled the bottle and add ed the label poison" The prisoners ooun- sel contended that it was an unhappy mis- take, and though the judge said it was evil dent there was want of care, and that the prisoner knew he was receiving poison for outward application only, the jury speedily returned verdict of not guilty.
