Washington Through Eye-Giassss. From the Manhattan for Octabarl

There are many kinds and degrees of soci- ety. There is the official society, of which the President and Cabinet are the titular lead ers, and in which Senators and Representa- lives, when socially inclined, judges and dip 1omats, live and move and have their being. It need not to be said that the diplomats play leading part here. They combine all the qualities needed for social conquest. They carry about with them the distinction Of men who come from ttabroad" They are usually polished and amiable, sometimes accom- pIished and fascinating men. Gaysty is a part of their professional duty. They have official positions, which fact counts for Q great deal in an official society. Some of them have titles of nobility, which counts for vast deal h republic. Then, on State oc- cations, they have uniforms, and, Sam Well Ter says, s1t's the uniforms as does it." though 1t must be confessed that the diplo- Inatic uniform often seems to the ordinary American citizen an extremely ugly costume

The temperance lecturers were not much encouraged by the result of the recent con test in England in which beer drinker did more work than water thinker, but they can find something cheering in the practice of life insurance companies in England, some of which keep two distinct records, one call ed 'the general account and the othor ''the temperance account" While in tho ''gener al table, deaths Of members coincide with the usual mortality, the temperance list falls short of the established risk. One society there in England gives to total a5stainers an advantage of from $15 to $s5, according to age, on the $500 insured. Accidental offices, however, do even better than this, making general reduction of 20 per cent in favor of total abstainers from ardent spirits.

EDITORIAL NOTES,

Sir F. Bramwell complainedin in paper read before the British association that it was only six years since the novelty of the telephone was introduced, and now they had complaints about defects and details of working which might be justifabls if they had been st work sixty years. He did not say that they should not do their best to remedy them, but he asked that some consideration should be shown in the development of system which was only half dozen years old, and it's prac. tical application of much shorter time.

 The opponents of Butler in Massachusetts
 will not allow that he has been economical
 in running tho affairs of the State, and they can make good showing in support of their claim. He has boastsd that he has saved the 6sate good deal in the osst of the military establishment. The whole expenditures for this purpose last year, besides ths fixed sal afies of the adjutant general and his two clerks and the surveyor general, were $141,- ,- 7o5.o6. The corresponding expenditures of the present year up to the first of this month were $134, ,371.I5. The bills now outstand- ing and the estimated expenses for the re- maining months of the year bring the amount up to $145, ,S71.16, an excess over last year of moro than four thousand dollars. Tho totaI State expenses, exclusive of interest, were last year $2, 796 ,669 This year they will not be less than $3, 181, 78O. The principal items of expense of which this excess is made up are, in the legislative department an excess of forty ous thousand dollars, or about twen- ty per cent; printing, nearly nineteen thou sand, or almost fifty per cent; charitable, sixty thousand dollara, or seventeen per cent; Hoosac tunnel, cns hundred and thirty thousand dollars, or fifty per cent; public buildings; two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, or nearly six hundred per cent.

4 French justice of the peace is harassed by peculiar case. droYer and butcher in the market adiustinS their accounts went to the tavern to dine together. During the meal the butcher took from his pocket a bank note of 100 francs value, wherewith to pay the drover, but in handing it over let it fall in dish of gravy. He snatched 1t out, and, holding it between thumb and forefnger, waved it to End fro and dried it. The drov- CTS dog accepting this movement ss 8 friendly invitation, and, liking the smell Of the saturatsd note, made spring at it and swallowed it. The butcher was furious.

Ons Of the most interesting exhibits at thu
 Vienna electrical exhibition Is Gentilli's glos
 sograph, little instrument by which speeel

 uttered. A small apparatus is placed in shs
 mouth of the speaker,-in contact with th<
 roof of the mouth, his tongue and lips, s,-and
 on being connected with an oIectro-magnetis
 registering apparatus, the sounds are com
 mltted to paper. It is constructed in such 8
 manner as not to cause any inconvenience tc
 the speaker; neither Is 1t necessary that the
 voice should be raised. as 1t reproduces g
 whisper as exactly as shout; the only con- dition is correct and distinct articulation.
 According to the inventors calculation it will
 be possible to write four or five times as fast
 by means of the glossogrsph az has hitherto
 been possible even by the quickest writer. At first sight it appears as if this invention was but an improvements upon Edison's phon- ograph; 1t is. however, of much older date. It rests unlike tho former, on an acoustic principle, and does not reproduce the sounds in microscopieal form. The chief obstacle to the introduction of the slossoRraph will be the difficulty in dscipheriag the charac- ters; but it is not impossible that with the help of second automatic apparatus the characters produced by the slessograph may be translated into our common type writing.
 Professor Clifford Richardson of the de- pertinent of agriculture has just finished the task of analysing nearly tvc thousand speci- mems of wheat from various parts of this country and comparing them with each other and with European wheat He says In his re- port that the main failing of our wheats ia a deficiency in albuminoids, which are regarded as the most valuable portion of the grain
 While among our wheats the highest per- centage of albuminoids was found to be 17.15, in 6 wheat from Minnesota, Russian grain analysed contained 24 56 per cent 24
 different specimens averaging 19. 4S per cent,
 the lowest having 1O.6S per cent of albu- minoids. la the East our wheat is the poor est, falling below the general average in albu- minoids and ash, and in the size of ths grain. regular gradation of improvement from East to West is found until the Pacific coast IS reached, where there Is most re- msrksbie falling of ia everything but the size of the grain. It Is in the country between the Mississippi and the mountains that the best grain Is prodaeed. It has higher average fish and a larger average amount of oil and albumin 1 oids than that of any other part of the coun. try, and highest extremes for ash, oil al. | buminoids and weight of 100 grains The f middle West, represented by Michigan, Ken lucky and Tennessee, holds an intermediate I position between this district and that on the Atlantic coast. Spring wheat contains more albuminoids than winter wheat
