"ABsENCE FROM THE STATE"

UABSENCE FROM THE STATE.o The governor of Massachusetts is not the only governor who has got into trouble by being absent from the State. The governor of Missouri went to New York to examine certain State securities deposited in a bank there and for the transaction of other busi- ness for the State. He did not leave the State to attend to his own private business as Governor Butler did. A few days after his departure the lieutenant governor ap- peared at the executive office and assumed to be governor until tae absent governor re- turned. The State auditor thereupon re- fused to pay the governors salary for the period during which the elieutenant-governor was governing. The auditors action was based upon this section of the State consti- tuition: ''In case of death, conviction or impeachment, failure to qualify, resignation, absence from the State, or other disability of the governor, the powers, duties and emolu- ments of the office for the residue of the term, or until the disability shall be removed, shall devolve upon the lieutenant governor"
 The governor, who had been absent from the State solely on business for the State, naturally objected to having his pay kept back, and he therefore sued the auditor. The attorney general insisted that, by vir- tue of the section of the constitution quoted above, in case of the absence of the governor from the State for any pur- pose, or for any period of time, however short that, pro tempore, he ceases to be gov ernor. and all the executive franchises, as III, kI,oa @I,- upon the lieutenant governor. The Supreme court held that this view was too narrow and that the official errand justified the absence, and made the assumption of the auditor un- sound. In defining absence from the State the court said It may well be insisted upon, as it is by relator, that the fifth specified cause, viz, "absence from the State" does for the purpose of performing duty i'm posed by law upon the governor, or mere casual absence of a few days, but that it is necessarily implied from it's con nection with the other specified causes that such absence must be of such character as to indicate on the part of the governor an abdication for the time be- ing of the duties of the office and such as in the opinion of the governor would make it necessary for him to call upon the lieutenant governor to take his place and perform such duties as the condition of business in his office and the exigencies likely to arise might require during such absence; and when so called upon his authority to act could neither be questioned nor his right to the emolu- ments of the office denied until the governor returned and resumed his place.
 The Supreme court could not have made any other decision without doing the gover- nor injustice. It had to strain the meaning of the words ''absenee from the State, but this kind of straining is not an uncommon thing in courts. The makers of laws some times have very little skill in using words definitely

Currant-CuIture

This is a much-neglected fruit in ordinary gardens, yet with neglect it always gave sure and abundant crop until the advent of the European caterpillar, which so complete ly destroys the foliage; and eventually the bush, unless they are promptly dealt with. The best and most profitable variety of this fruit Is the Red Dutch, or for white, the White Grape. The best age to transplant them is at two years from the cutting. The propagation is very simple, eight inch cut tings of the current years growth being used These are set in sloping direction, with two inches projecting above the sur face, the dirt being firmly trodden against the lower end If the setting is delayed un- til spring the cuttings make very feeble growth, and many fail altogether They should be transplanted at two years growth in rows, the plants being set four feet apart. Currants will grow in any soil, but only poor lv in poor soil, while no soil is too rich for them In light soils it is profitable to mulch the bushes with straw or other light litter; it keeps the roots cool, which suits them, and it also keeps the rain from splashing the fruit with dirt. The currant worm is gene- rally destroyed by the use of powdered hell Iebore root (called Indian poke-Feratr Veride.) This is poisonous 1n considerable doses to human beings but the very slightest quantity is death to the currant-worm. If a genuine article is obtained, two large spoon fuls of the powder mixed thoroughly in a O1 hdJCI. anu SPAAAhAOA WI SAAS bushes until every leaf is wet, will be suffi- cient The time to do this is when the bush es are in blossem. Too many people neglect it until they see the worms, but as at that time their work of destruction is nearly con- pleted, the remedy does little good. At blos- soming time the worms will be found clus- tered together upon leaves near the ground. The eggs before matching look like little snippings of white thread arranged along the main libs of the leaf. When matched the worms are very small, and remain for some time upon single leaf. As soon as they scatter they begin to grow rapidly, and in 8 very few hours will leave only bare stems. When the hellebore is promptly applied at blossoming time (taking bright day for the purpose so that the leaves will dry quickly, the worms are destroyed before they have done any perceptible harm. There IS usually a second brood of them in July, and some times third in August, which must be watched for and destroyed by repeating the dose. There is a native currant-worm that often does some damage This can be dis tineuished by it's being span or measuring worm, with legs only at each end, and pro- gressing by looping along, while the more destructive kind is true caterpillar, with legs the whole length. Don't let the weeds and grass choke the bushes If you want good currants and a good crop

The Railroad Commissioners of Connect cut have had some rather interesting ses- sions lately, but none of them has been as lively as was a meeting of Railroad Commis- sioners in San Francisco the other day. Sev- eral farmers had entered complaints of dis elimination in freight rates, but on the whole the meeting was rather dull until Mir. c. w. Ayres took it upon himself to provide enter : tainment for the company. He began with general assault upon railroad management, and gradually warming to his work, was re- peatedly called to order for insulting Con- missieners Carpenter and Humphreys, whom he finally denounced as traitors and tools" Thereupon the bailif peremptorily ordered him to sit down but he was not prepared to surrender, and, having ex- hausted his vocabulary, he drew from his pocket couple of most unsavory eggs and discharged them at Commissioner Carpen- ter's head. His aim was faulty and the com- missioner escaped, but the wall and furni- ture suffered severely. Ayres was arrested at once It is fortunate that MT. Ayres does not live in Connecticut and favor 8 s'paral- lel'' road.

One of the interesting schemes now on hand is that for telegraph stations in the sea. Mir. W. c. Anderson, an Englishman, has plan for such stations which appears to be feasible His idea is to construct hollow cylinder of riveted iron work 29O feet long, to consist of two sections, the upper part to be 40 feet long, destined to rear its head above the waves and fitted as an ordinary lighthouse, while the remaining portion of the tube is to be ballasted so as to sink be- low the water line and counteract the force of winds and waves on the exposed part. The whole apparatus is to be anchored in deep water by heavy steel cables. The inventor claims that it would be easy to tow such structure to the spot selected for 1t. and then by admitting water to the lower section it would assume an upright position, ride the waves like bottle, and when connected with q telegraphic cable would not in stormy weather endanger the cable.

The Protho- notary continues at SIC, ,OOO. but the Clerk of the Quarter Sessions is reduced from SIC, 900 to $5.o00; the Recorder of Deeds from $12,- 900 to $10,000; the Register of Wills from $1O,0O0 to $5,00O, and the Comptroller from $1O, 900 to $s,o0O.

1t affords pleasure to say that have recovered
from severe case of skin disease through the use
OF the CUTICURA REMEDIES. My case which is
known to many of our best physicians and to thous-
ands of citizens, has been reported fully in the
daily papers, and those who are interested are re-
ferred to it. 1t is not Of it. however, that | now
propose to write, but of some features which have
invariably found to accompany the treatment of
skin and blood diseases which unnecessarily retard
a cure, These are: 1. A lack of knowledge as to
how the remedies suggested are to be used. 2.
Careless or spasmodic use OF them. 3. Neglect of
proper sanitary and hygienic measures and auxiliary
treatment. A. Want of patience necessary to eff
feet permanent cure. It would seem hardly nee
essary to advise who hes paid out his money for
medicine, to master the directions and general phi
losophy of treatment recommended, by which alone
he can expect to make cure But such is often the
case. Many do not half learn how to obtain all the
efectof the remedies because they do not half read
the pamphlet accompanying them, entitled Diseases
Of the Skin and Blood, anil Hoao to Cure Them,
Others know so much more than the originators
that they feel in need of instruction. In either
case there can be no great success. The CUTIcURA
KEsoLvENT, the new blood purifier should be taken
internally and CUTIcURAs and CUTIcURA SOAR the
great skin cures, applied externally many times
per day as found to agree with the nature of the
disease, ana regularity and faithfully persisted in.
Careless or spasmodic use of them cannot be ex-
pected to favorably affect diseases which have been
years In reaching chronic state. Nor is it reason
able to hope for speedy In tortured for
years by physicians with mercury, arsenic, zinc and
lead. Blood humors, which are born in the system
in many cases, and in others have poisoned the
blood for years, must be patiently treated, with all
the aid obtanable of nourishing food and whole
some exercise, to make permanent cure. In my
own case have experienced so much Of failure Of
dependency, Of useless expenditures of worthless
advice, of long, increased suffering instead Of
speedy relief, promised OF ignorance of snperst-
ton, Of poisoDs and prisoners, that feel it both
duty and pleasure not only to recommend to all
sufferers from every form of skin and blood diseases
these pure and wholesome remedies, but to empha
size those points which have rendered a cure in my
case possible viz. an intelligent faithful, and per-
sistent use Of the CUTIcURA REMEDIES.

This is giving the Democrats all the States
the Republicans do not actually need, and
more, of course, than they will carry, but
transfer New York and Ohio, or either Of
them, from the Republican column, keeping
in mind what bearing such transfer will
have on other States, and it will be found
impossible to fill the gap from the other col
umn with any degree of probability whatev-
err. The fight is right in the big States, and
the Republicans must be freed from all the
outside embarrassments that little men
would crowd upon them.

THE process by means Of which panks
are made from straw is undergoing a practi-
cal test in Chicago, where large building
is under construction as home for the new
industry. If these planks can be depended
on as building material the discovery is an
important one for the great North West on
both sides of the line. Lumber is there very
scarce and dear, and straw is so abundant
TO be looked on as a nuisance to be got rid
of by burning in the field. If the farmer
can convert his straw into lumber, as he
converts his wool into cloth, the conditions
of life in the Northwest will be greatly
ameliorated.
