when he went out of the cabinet, after
The death Of Garfield, people said his
official career was ended. l believe
Blaine thought SO hih1self. What did
he do then? Most men, Under the Cir
cnmstances, would have retired to live
on the memories Of the past, ard nurse
uneasy hopes for the future. But
Blaine went to work patiently to carve
out 4 new career. In two years he had
placed himself ut the front of Ameri-
can literature, and had achieved a po-
sitiuh where the chances Of p0lotics
we're no longer attraetivet to him, where
factions could not injure nor calumny
reach him. From this position he Was
literally dragged back into the political
arena, against his desire and in re-
sponge TO TIE overwhelming demand of
the people. Blaieo is made of good
stuff. He is Il good friend and a good
enemy. He has the iutrepidity of IN
drew Jackson and the eerene philoSO-
ply of Emerson. No combination of

All the "signs" according to those
versed in such lore, point to severe
winter Exchanges note the fact
that grapes, persimmons, acorns, and
other mast and nuts, etc, were never
known to be more abundant than
this fall, and according to our fore
fathers, this indicates very cold win
ter. How the hornets build their
nests is another infallible Indication,
and this year they have chosen the
tops of the tallest tress. They do
this, it is said, in obedience to some
instructive foreknowledge of the ap-
proach Of severe temperature; but

Is There Poison IN Canned Fruits.

The frequent discovery" by some
physician or scientist that there is
poison lurking in canned fruits and
vegetables has aroused the proprietors
of canneries and the dealers in canned
goods, and they are now looking up
their side of the case. They claim
that since canned goods are hermetic-
ally sealed while fresh from the sour
ces of supply, they must evidently be
fresher purer than many so called
fresh articles exposed for many davs
in the markets If there are any un-
wholesome goods packed, reputable
dealers desire to cooperate with the
press and the medical profession to
prohibit such packing, but in view of
the tendency to sensationalism and
alarm on the part of some, they ex-
press desire that care be exercised
in making charges Of impurity or
adulteration. Their requests are no
doubt just, and should be regarded bv
oil who have any inclination. to deal
justly with all men.

The Young Oysters.

Mr.. Editor The suggestion made
in the EVENING CAPITAL yesterday
about protecting and propagating tho
young oyster that adheres to the
clumps of shells, is good one, and
should be put into execution. The
Commissioners of the Oyster Fisheries
in their annual report to the Legisla.
ture assert that mo spat collector
seems to be better adapted for the
growth and cultivation of oysters "a
our waters, upon hard bottoms. than
oyster shells and they are the cheap
est collectors that can be used.v
know of instances where persons liv-
ing on the river have dumped the shells
into the river for convenience. and
have gone to the same spot year
later, and taken bushels Of fine oys.
ters. They will increase tenfold If
put on hard bar. We hope our
packers and tongers and all interested
in the cultivation Of the oyster, viii
get together, and adopt some plan to
save our fast depleted oyster bars. I
hope, Mr. Editor, you will keep this
subject before our people, and endea-
vor to bring about an interest ii this
pie. We must begin to cultivate the
very important revenue Of our peo.
oyster if we expect to retain this luz
ury in our waters under the present
increasing demands, or We shall, In !
very few years, realize the same re-.
suits as other seaboards where the
oyster was once plentiful.
