THE SPECIAL ELEoTIoN.

The special election which will soon
occur in the Third ward is of more than
ordinary importance, as upon it hinges
the controlling power of the new city
council. The complexion of the council
as it now stands, is seven republicans and
six democrats and nationals. With the
election of Mr.. Henry Lidders Mayor
Mott would have the deciding vote, which
would virtually give the democrats a
majority. The Third ward is strongly
democratic, and nothing else can be
reasonably expected than the election of
Mr.. Lidders. To make his success more
sure the nationals found no objection to
the democratic nominee, and endorsed
| him at their caucus. The republi-
cans are making great ado, and
claim there is a chance of electing Mr..
Schroeder This is a vain boast, and at
heart they know he cannot be elected.
They are, however, by their organ, en-
deavoring to create a dissension among
the democrats and nationals, hoping by
that means to squeeze Mr.. Schr9-
der through, The Union pursued the
same course during the city campaign,
but now, as then, they carry no weight
with their argument. Instead of sup
porting their candidate, they continually
seek to cause disturbance among their
| opponents. The democrats are perfectly
satisfied with the result of the late cleo
ton, and by the unanimous Endorsement
of Mr.. Ladders it is evident that the ma
tionals bear no ill-will against the demo
Gratis.
| Laying all this matter aside, however,
it was clearly demonstrated that the peo-
pie desire change in the administration
| of the city's affairs, by the late city cleo
ton. Mr.. Mott represents a majority of
the citizens of Rock Island, who desire
to have him hold the balance of power
for the next two years. 1t is only con
sistent then, that he should have a ma jor-
ity in the council, who will stand by him
in his rulings, and aid him in transacting
the city's business in an economical and
judicious manner. This reason alone is
sufficient cause for electing Henry ladders
as alderman from the Third ward, which
we are confident will be done by rous-
ing majority

Disappearance of the Yankee.

The report of the New Hampshire
board of health contains a tabulated
summary of the reports of the officers
of cities and towns, showing the number
of births, marriages, and deaths in each
township in 1881. From this it appears
that 4,615 babies were born in the state
that year, 2,415 being boys, 2,123 girls,
and 78 mot stated OF these 2,744
were of American parentage, 633 were
children of foreigners. $50 were of mixed
ancestry, the fruit of marriages between
Americans and foreigners, and 542 were
classed as unknown. 1t should be sta
ted in this connection that all persons
born in this country are returned as
Americans, though their parents may
have come from abroad Immediately be-
fore their entry into this world. Bear
ing this in mind, and the further fact
that those children reported as ''un-
known" are probably in most instances,
the children of foreigners, and it seems
fair to conclude that not more than half
the babies included in the list can prop
erly be called yankees; and we sup
pose, if the facts could be known, it
would appear that not one in four can
trace his descent back more than two
or three generations without crossing
the ocean or the Canadian line. Four
thousand six hundred and fifty persons
died in the state in 1881 and of these
3,542 were Americans, 440 were foreign
ers, and SOP were of unknown origin.
From this it appears that there was an
actual loss of 800 in the American pop
ulation of the state from the excess of
deaths over births. If we consider in
connection with this the steady streams
of emigration which carry our Yankees
south and fill their places with Cana
dams and Irishmen, the conclusion is
forced upon us that the year is not far
away when the race that settled New
Hampshire and has furnished the brain
and Drawn that have made the little
commonwealth famous, will have be-
come practically extinct in this state

How Hydraulic Miners Are Acquainted of
an Officers Approach.


A Smartsville, Cal, correspondent OF
| 1he Marysotile AppeaI says: 1T has
been a mystery for some time past by
what modus operandi the employees OF
| the Blue Point Hydraulic Mining Com
pany could SO accurately tell the ap-
proach of any one, or of any suspicious
object, from one to three hours before it
| made its appearance at their works.
On visit to this celebrated mine the
| writer was shown. the simple instru-
ment Gf it can be called by that name)
TO give the information how it is done,
Oh to scientifically explain how the de-
sired results are brought about, is more
than 1 will undertake But this do
know, that by several appliances an EN-
ploye can see objects with it for nearly
ten miles in any direction from where
the instrument is located. The day,
though must be clear and the atmos-
phere pure, and whether it would act
or give the desired information in other
than this pure atmosphere is more than
| can say. We have known for many
years that correct time or the hour or
meridian can be correctly discovered by
placing upon the ground vessel or
shallow bucket containing tar, and
with mariners quadrant one who I'M
derstands it can tell within a hundreth
part of q second the hour of noon.
This instrument does not act in all
parts of the country. 1t seems that it
must be placed at a certain elevation
above the level of the sea before it will
affect accurately the object wished to be
seen. 1t has been tried at 1000 feet
above the sea level and it affects the OBJ
ject very indistinctly; also at any point
less than 600 feet above the sea level it
will not work accurately. But between
500 and 200 feet in elevation objects
can be distinctly seen as natural as life.
1t works here from early twilight till
nearly dark, and between that time no
objects larger than rabbit will escape
observation for ten miles in any direc-
ton. The sky by its operation acts as
a huge mirror, and by looking through
the queer Instrument which is construc-
ted like telescope and mariners quad
rant combined-you, through the an
giles of the different lenses in the iustru-
ment, and in the direction you wish to
view, can see objects of their natural
size from where you stand eight or ten
miles away, as true as ii they stood by
your side. Whether there are any chemi-
cal combinations in the stuff that to me
resembles tar, or not, could not find out,
as Ihat part CONTAINS the secrets Oh tue
discovery, but it has the smell and sp-
pearance of common tar. The vessel
that contains it is about thirty -four inch
es in diameter and about six inches
in depth. The instrument is taken in
your hand and with quadrant you find
the angle you wish toprospect or search,
bringing the lens of the instrument to
bear on the vessel containing the pre-
narration of tar. You then have one of
the most exciting moments of your life.
The discovery was made by aFrenehman
here, who has spent many years to per-
feet it and who has always been consid-
cred q crank

A search of the Virginia records, showed
that the property belonged to other per

and once in this city for the same crime.
