SpEAK1SG OF THE immense sum expended
on river and harbor improvements, the
Philadelphia Press of to-day sensibly says :;
.'The Great Kanawha River got 500, 900
''last year; but this is only tenth of the
"sum needed to complete the improvement
ION this inland stream, which calls for as
"large a sum as has been spent on works
''for cities of the first magnitude. Raritan
"River got $4,000 last year but it
"wauts 81, ,6s3, ,632 TO make the first
expenditure woIth anything, and heavy
i'storm may then spoil all that has been
idone. Rockland Harbor, Me-, got $40 900,
-'but this little place wants S49o, 900 in the
''to accommodate the trade Of place Of
1859, which has already been taken care o.
with post Office and custom house costing
"S175, 600 On the other hand, when i'm.
'provement is proposed at a point like sa-
i'bine Pass, Texas, at total expenditure OF
''s2 SD 900, the ultimate benefits and the
''trade affected, offer justification for the
projected outlay, and the same thing Is
Htrue of the Ice Harbor in Delaware bay
"which is to cost S275, 600, and starts Of
with S25, ,00O."

Poiltleal Tndependenee In Delaware,

Political Independence In DelawAres
The expressions in an editorial which we
copy to-day from the Baltimore Day, based
upon a statement in the Dover correspond
ance of this paper, to the effect that Senator
salisbury had not been soliciting members
Of the Legislature to vote for his return
TO the United States Senate, are made
at q very fitting time, in view OF the recent
tings of papers and speakers outside Of Del
aware at our political methods. We are
glad to copy what the editor of the Day,
who knows whereof he speaks, says on this
subject, and to add few words which we
hope will put Delaware right in this matter.
1t cannot be denied that In our State
there is as much political independence as
anywhere in the United States. Probably
there Is more, and matters Of this kind are
always left to the people to decide. Whether
Senator salisbury is elected (snd he
probably will be) or not 1t Il
certain that he will personally take
no part In the contest, and the contest
will entirely be free from bossism. Th'
free discussion of the contest among Demo
Gratis, some of whom are opposed TO thu
Senator and who say so with no uncer
tain sound, indicates again wha
has often been indicated before-tha
NO one-man power can control Delaware
and, that Independence Of thought an'
actlon has been fostered more here thai
anywhere else. 1t clearly shows that Della
ware in this respect is far ahead OF he
neighbors, and it Is a thing of which she ma
well be proud.

The Mysteries of Metals.

htthanlchi news.
Notwithstanding the wonderful progress,
says an exchange, that has been made dur
ing the last half century In the constitution
aud working of the useful metals, there Is
a vast deal TO be learned. The metals
when pure, are commonly supposed to be
simple elements, yet there are some reasons
for supposing that 1t may be proved that at
least some of them are compounds. Even
the great Faraday gave utterance
TO the thought that the dreams Of
the alehemist might yet be rtalized-
that gold and other metals might
be found to he compounds, and that means
might be devised whereby those compounds
might be separated, and afterWard 50
differently reunited that the baser metals
might be converted into precious. The
changes which are wrought In iron and
steel by converting, annealing and harden.
ing processes are far from being understood
by the most advanced metallurgists Of the
present day. The mysteries Of hydrogen
gas and It's intimate relations With iron ar.
as much puzzle as they were so years ago
and the theory advanced by Graham
that hydrogen is metal, is still
maintained by many chemists Il

the laboratory as a great curiosity. Wha
had previously been known as pure iron wa
shown by Jacob to be a compound of iror
and hydrogen. He first separated the two
so-called elements. During the process tn,
iron increased In volume, changed from
dark to a silver-whlte substance, yer,
ductile and so soft as to be nearly as readil'
cut as lead The experiment proved tina
hydrogen played an important part il
hardening and tempering-as much so a
carbon--but how or why nome know
to this day 1t is found that muc
more difficulty is experienced In rollin
and otherwise manipulating gold in o fat
tory where much electricity is generated b.
the action of machinery than In a rooI
where no machinery Is in operation, an,
where, consequently, frictional electricit
is absent. The trouble Is manifesto
in a disposition Of the edges OF th
plates of thin bars to crack. Many othe
peculiarlties, already known, might be mer
toned, and there ia no doubt that closer OF
seryation will largely increase the numbe
of curious and yet ineXplicable phenomen
connected with the working and genera
characteristics OF the metals, both useful an
precious.

THE HONoRED APE.
The veneratIOn Paid to the Monkey by
Certain Eastern People.

Popular Science Monthly
Victor JacQuemont estimates that the
BengslP residency alone contains sixteen
hundred monkey asylums, supported chiefly
by the very poorest class of the population.
In the rural districts OF Nepaul the
hanumans have their sacred groves and keep
together In troops of fifty or sixty adults,
and, In spite of hard times, these ashocia-
tions multiply like the monsstic orders Of
medieval Europe; but they must all BE- pro
vided for, the Sh the natives should have to
exc out their crops with the wild rice of the
Jumna swamp jungles.
The strangest part of the superstition Is
| that this charity results by no means from a
feeling of beneyolence toward animals in
general, but from the exclusive venetation
| OF special subdivision OF the monkey tribe.
| An orthodox Hindoo must not willingly
take the life OF the humblest fellow creature.
| but he ould not move a finger to save a
starving dog, and he has no hesitation in
| stimulating beast of burden with
a dagger-like goad and other con-
| trivances that would invoke the
avenging powers of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty TO Animals. Nor
would he shrink from extreme measures IN
defending his fields from the ravages Vt low
caste monkeys. DR.. Allen Mackenzie once

Office OF their packing house on Crescent

has shown symptoma Of treacherous ferOdity
which the watehman has punished BY throw
ing hot water from the Office kettle on the
dog. But one night, when the watehman
had attempted 20 punish him, the tug
showed fight and drove the man behind the
desk railing and kept him imprisoned there
for two hOurs. The watchman had re-
volver In his pocket, but he was loath 10
shoot the animal, because of the value set
upon him by the tirm.
Charles II. Nichols, the book keeper, had
always treated the dog kindly. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Nichols fooled with the dog
little after o'clock, and then went to his
work at his desk, and the dog fell asleepbe-
side the stove. Half an hour or so altar Mr.
Nichols had occasion 10 till the kettle on the

A Movement for a Negro state.

There Is an organization of negroes in
Arkansas called the Colored National In
association, which has for its OBJ
ect the permanent separation of the two
races and the segration Of the blacks in a
region specially set apart for them. The
association has sent representative, John w.
Niles, TO Washington TO confer with the col
ored leaders there and secure their COOP
Grafton. He states that there are many So
cieties organized In the SOUTHERN Estates in the
interest of the ENTERPRISE, and that the gov
eminent and the whites are to be asked for
assistance In carrying 1t into execution.

The eightieth anniversary of Mrs. James

and becoming manner yesterday at the
Polk mansion on High street. This venera--
BILE lady, now passing into the valley OF

eating a continuance OF that bright and
beautiful life which has characterized her
throughout the long years of her useful ex-
istence. Mrs. Polk would impress the cas-
ual observer as lady of about 90 years OF
age; kind, genial. yet modest and retiring
adverse TO all public demonstrations.
She was not even aware that her
birthday was known to Others than her
self, until flow of congratulations, bou-
Duets and well wishes poured in upon her.
Among those who called during the day
were Judge John M. Lea, Governor Will
liam B. Bate, aud Ex-Governor James u.
Porter. A number of handsome and
tsste!ully arranged bouquets were sent In
by admiring friends. One bouquet, the
gift OF Mrs. Or. w. A. Cheatham, had the

rare exotics, and Mrs. Polk, sitting in the
midst of them, received and entertained a
stream OF visitors throughout the
day.

Paris and Now York.

Victor Hugo, writing in 1867 preface to
guide-book compiled in honor of the Ex-
position Universelle, told his readers that
in another hundred years Paris would be
the most wonderful city in the world. The
prediction was variously verified within
tithe of the time fixed by the soothsayer,
and not at all in the manner that he
tn )ught events would be ordered in the tu-
ture. NJ. Hugo clearly did not foresee that
in 1871 Paris would be halt burned down by
the communards, and that the wonderful
character of his beloved city would be
most ell oauently asserted by the extraor-
binary CELEBRITY shown in building anew
the monuments and the streets which the
insane insurgents had destroyed Next to
Paris, however. New York, SO far as the
development of her population is concern
ed, may be ranked as the most wondrous
city of modern times. Recently published
statistics have shown that just before the
Quarrel of Great Britain with her American
colonies the population of New York was
only little over 10000 souls, while three
years later after the war OF indie
pendence the inhabitants numbered 23,O0O
By 1870 it had rather diminished than in
creased in populousness but at the end OF
another ten years it lad leaped up more
than 60 900. In the year of our fret great
exhibition the Empire City numbered less
than GOO, 600 souls, while in 1880 the pop
laiion was set down al l ,206 800. The popu-
lation of New York has thus doubled
six times within century, and the New
York of the present dav is sixty-iour
times as large as the New York ola hun
bred years since. To these remarkable
figures has been added the enthusiastic
calculation that there are children now at
nurse who will behold New York con-
tanning no less than 10000 600 OF inhabi-
tants. Whether this colossal estimate is ex-
elusive or inclusive Of the population
of Hoboken, Staten Island and
Brooklyn, the statists do not
say. But there are other wonderful things
10 New York which the dealers in figures
nave omitted 10 enamerate. New York,
observation-disclosures its amazing developmenti in
population, Is still in many respects very
primitive city. 1t is still. so far as features
OF architectural and social interest are con-
cerned, city Of only two streets-Broad.
way and Fifth avenue. The remaining
avenues resemble one another as one pea
does its fellow; and the once distinctive
Bowery Is only another avenue plus the
nuisance Of the "L" railroad and an indef-
mite number OF German beer saloons. FL
nally, the pavement Of New York Is almost
