Ex-GovERNoR HYDE of Stafford has been appointed by Gov. Waller member of the state board of agriculture, his term begin ming at the same time that his term on the board as representative of our agricultu- ral society will end. We congratulate the governor on his excellent judgment in re- storing to his old position tried and faith full public servant. Gov. Hyde was drop ped from the board as state appointee in 1881, for the crime of trying to carry out state enactment relating to diseased an- imals. Dr. Cressey's name having been pressed for the place in opposition to Gov. Hyde, The Connecticut Farmer, which, as the representative of Dr. Cressey was active in the former crusade against Gov. Hyde, of course considers the appoint ment Gan inexcusable blunder" and ''dis- creditable to the state." Sad sad

Three years ago working men were told by politicians that the sure way to secure plenty of work at high wages, was to vote for the protective policy and high tariff. -Cooley's Weekly. ~
 By whom were you told SO? The man is fool or idiot who will guarantee any preventative of occasional business depres- sions. But if we were asked what would most readily unsettle business we should say the existence of national congress committed to free trade and presided over by an avowed free trader, elected by itself squarely on that issue.

GAY's HEAD, on which the steamer City of Columbus was wrecked, is on the a0est end of Martha's Vineyard, not the east end, as this and several other papers gave it last week. The captain of the steamer has asserted that his vessel struck twice, once outside the buoy and again inside, where she now lies. But examinations made by the diver at the wreck do not sus- tain this theory. On the oceans bed in front of the shattered prov is a long fur row ploughed up by the steamer as she ran on the bank, and now revealed by the settling back of the wreck. Only vessel going at high rate of speed could have made such ditch.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

Compiled for the Woop RIVER TIMEs
Much evidence las been brought
forward during the last fewmonths to
prove that copper and its salts exert
protective influence against cholera,
and that workers in the metal are
exempt from this and other diseases.
This fact has led Mons. Rochefontaine
to point out to the French Academy
of Sciences that nine cases of cholera
occurred in 1S49, with fatal results,
among the coppersmlths Of Villedieu,
where the whole atmosphere may be
said to be saturated with copper
Small pox, typhoid fever and char5on
have also found victims in the same
community.
A number Of weeks ago observers
of the Pons- Brooks comet found that
the plane of its orbit would be crossed
by the earth on December 9th, and
Mr.. Chandler, Of the Harvard Obser-
vatory, predicted that when the earth
arrived at that place meteors would be
seen moving in the comets orbit
The prophecy was fulfilled by the dis
covcry, on the night OF December 9Th
Of dozen or more meteors radiating
from the calculated point in space.

the conclusion, advanced by Mons

From his own observations DR.
Lawson TAFT concludes that congenita
deafness is not known to occur in an,
animal but the cat, although its ex
istence has been suspected in white
mouse, and that no cats except those
entirely white are deaf. At one time
Darwin had the impression that white
cats with blue eyes were invariably
deaf, but he afterward found this view
to be an error. DR.. TAFT gives another
interesting result Of his observations
which is that every kind of white AMI
nal kept by him as pet has been the
subject Of epilepsy. He considers this
association of color with the disease
to be suggestive when we are told tia
epilepsy is unknown among negroes

will be distributed to the patriotic
soldier. Altogether there have been
over fifty pension and bounty bills in
troduced and the number will reach
two or three hundred ere long. The
indications are that few of them will
become laws, but no doubt sufficient
number to make the soldier feel under
obligations to the Democratic party.
SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE.
The election Of Senators by the
popular vote is again being agitated,
this time by Representative Town
shend, of Illinois, who has introduced
bill in the House establishing such a
system. Even though the bill passed
the lower branch when it arrived at
the dignified Senate unanimous "no"
would seal its fate in the same manner
that all similar measures have here
tofore been rejected by the selected
Senate.

fully in California, to which State the

duced in paying quantities the problem
became how to have these reeled in sut-
iicleut quantities to keep pace with the
supply, there being no steam t~ilaturCs
in this section Of the country and the

to the increased task. To develop this

EXTRAORDINARY STORY TOLD BY THE
CREW OF PHILADELPHIA EESSEL.-
Forty miles OF sharks, and maneaters at
that, are not often met with, even by
t%ransocean C vOyagers, but it was the luck
of the Captain, crew and passengers of
the i~ruiting steamer ID. j. Foley, which
arrived IN this city on Saturday, to wit
ness such a sight on the voyage from
Fort Antonio, Jamaica The steamer
was we'll on her way, and had reached
the 18th meridian in lat. So so when
the lookout espied a great school of large
fish, which at a DISTANCE he thought
might be whales, although he could see
no blowing. Soon the steamer was plow-
ing through a sea of immense sharks.
They were evidently maneaters for many
OF them swan alongside of the vessel, as
II eager to get hold of one OF the crew or
a passenger. As far as the eye could
reach great numbers of them could be
seGn, to the terror of more than one per-
son on the boat. All on the steamer
would not have made a two-minute meal
had the great fish been abe to get at
them. Pof over four hours the vessel
steamed through this living sea, and
even when it had been LETT far behind the
school could be located by the great dis
turbance made in the wltcr. During the
time the vessel was 10 their midst Cap
tain Dickman succeeded in killing several
sharks with his rifle, and their u~pturned
white bellies shone brilliantly in the sun.
A accurately as could be measured from
the vessels deck some of the we're eigh-
teen feet long and their heads four feet
vi !e. This wonderful story, which Cap
tain Dickm4n himself relates, was corro-
bOrated by the two passengers whom
he brought with him and by the entire
crew.
