A novel breakwater has been built at Brighton, England, which is said to be both efficient and cheap. It consists of line of buoys of triangular shape, with 8 sharp edge or prov toward the sea, and two con- cave sides. They are moored by an an chor fore and aft, each independently, and the width of buoy between them. As each wave strikes them it is cleft in two and di- verted right and left against the next buoy, and SO the momentum of the waves is used one to neutralize that of another, and it is claimed that the more violent the waves the more effectual is the action of the buoys

A new element of opposition to the ratif= cation of the Mexican treaty has arisen among the oil producers of the country. Mexico has put tariff of thirty cents a gall lon on petroleum, and this tariff is so nearly prohibitory that during last year less than two thirds of one days production Of petro- leum ln this country was exported to Mexico. The new treaty, while admitting many other productions free of duty, says nothing about petroleum.

George had sounded one of those notes which stirred generation, and he would say to an who, in and out of Parliament, were great as economists great as critics-Do not trust too much to picking holes in MT. Georges economies, or to showing how he blunders about the law of wages, or the law of population, or his definition of capital; but set ourselves to answer his chapters on the problem and on the persistence of pow erty. He had carefully studied MT. Georges economic propositions as to wages and cap ital, as to population, as to interest, as to the relations of labor and capital, as to the reIa- tions of wages and interest, and finally as to the relation of all these to land; and he had satisfied himself that no one of these new theories was true or approached to the truth.

good sized clam story comes from Lud- lam's beach, on the New Jersey coast, mid way between Atlantic City and Cape May. It is said that this beach is covered with such deposit of clans as no one in that region ever saw before. They were loosened from their bed by 8 great storm several weeks ago and since then every flood tide has heaped them on the store. Unfortunately they are sand clans, edible but not market able, and as every one in the neighborhood is satiated they are left to perish and exhale a villainous stench. The heavy northeast storms of last week buried millions of them in the sand, and fortunately the sea gulls find them palatable; but the aggregate mass shows scarcely any dim mutton. Mr. Edward K. Brick, whom the Philadelphia Record pronounces respecta- ble authority, told reporter of that paper few days ago that about 8 mile above Sea Isle City there is a compact mass of clans five feet in height, from twenty to twenty five feet in width and full quarter of mile long.

 Silks are cheap. The wholesale market is demOr- aIized, especially i'm cOlOred goods. Our reputation as The Silk Mercers of New Haven necessftates our taking the lead. Rather than cut down a little, and try to SEwOrk OuG'' our stock, we will boldly make the plunge and put our prices away down. Besides the motive furnish. ed by the state of the whole sale markets, there is also imposed on us the necessity of closing out a large part of QUIT stock before 2Sd Feb- ruary. Therefore our prices will be made very low in- deed, estimated even by the almost s'Panic prices" in the market.

 Some people may say when they see what we are do. ing.-ssthere must be sOme- thing wrong with them. No, good friends, there is nothing wrong with them, except the prices. They are our own regular stock of goods. Not a single piece of trashy stuff has been bought for this sale.

The change in the keeping of postmasters' accounts proposed by James G. Smith, chief of the postoface division in the office of the auditor of the treasury, seems sensible. Of the 4s, 300 postofices in the country, Al 500 derive their entire revenue from the sale of ters of the latter buy their stamps, receive their compensation and make their reports at the pearest money order offices which alone should deal directly with and report directly to the general office at Washington. By this change MT. Smith believes the accounts of the department could be kept up to thirty days of date instead of running whole quar- ter behind as now and the force of employees could be greatly reduced.

The Supreme court of Georgia has decided, in 8 test case against the Western Union, that telegraph company is responsible for the gross negligence of it's agents in trans mitting messages in damages to the party injured, and that it is immaterial what con- dition the company puts upon the printed heading of it's message blanks, so far as It's liability for negligence is concerned. The ordinary blank contains the proviso that the company sishan not be liable for mistakes or delays in the transmission or delivery, or for non-deliyery, of any unrepeated messags ? The Court. however, holds that Tae company is bound to discharge It's duty to the nub,ic with skill and diligence and to be accurate in the discharge of such duty, even if it be necessary to repeat messages ip order to in sure accuracy.

The Medical Abstract gives an interesting account of the resuls of the use of the cOUe,lse (brooding hen) or nursing box for children who are weak at birth. The apparatus. as introduced into the Paris Maternite by Dr. Tarnier, consists of wooden box divided horizontally into two compartments. The lower of these contains metal case of water, heated by 8 lamp, while the upper one is designed to receive a basket containing the child. The heated air rises into the upper part and passes out through holes in the cover. The latter is furnished with sheet of glass through which the child may be watched. The idea is to keep the infant protected from draughts, and at an even and slightly raised temperature until it arrives at normal strength. This is commonly ef- fected in from ten days to six weeks. The infant may be taken from the c0UeaLse with out injury for few minutes necessary at stated hours to dress or feed it. As life saving apparatus, the c00euse has remarka- bIe record. In the Maternite, for two years before it's introduction, in 1881, the mortal ity of infants was 65 per cent. In 8 similar hospital the mortality for 1882 is given at 66 per cent. After the introduction of the cogeatse into the Mater mite the infant mortal ity averaged but 3S per cent.

As the time for choosing delegates to the Republican national convention approaches the demand is heard that the delegates should be unpledged. The Worcester Spy makes some sensible remarks concerning this matter, as follows: The demand for un- pledged delegates is usually loudest from those political managers who have the interests of an unpopular can didate in charge. An open avowal of their preferences would defeat their purpose. Therefore they say: ''Take good man and ask no questions. Pledges and instructions imply distrust, and interfere with that free dom of action and exercise of judgment which are essential to a delegates highest usefulness" The true meaning is that these gentlemen want the convention to appoint delegates whom they would not appoint if they knew more of their opinions and ten- dencies. The delegate is the representative of the party in his State or district. He ought truly to represent it, and it is the duty of the party conventions to take care that only such delegates chosen as will be true representatives., not by pledges or instruc- tions, but by frank and unreserved mutual understanding. The men selected to do the work of the party ought to share the party's conception of the work to be done, and the way it can best be accomplished.
