II may not be generally known, but
It is nevertheless the fact, that the
United States is the leading producer
OF peppermint and peppermint oil in
the world. It is principally grown in
the state Of Michigan and in Wayne
County, n. 7. Our production of the
oil IN 1873 reached as high as $50, ZOO
pounds. but in 1883 the yield was COM
puted Is not more than 5000 pounds
This year larger acreage has been
planted, but prices have advanced on &C.
count OF the decreased stocks. The us.
ual annual consumption of the world
is about 10000 pounds, but it is ex-
pected there will be considerable in
crease this year, as also in other essen
tial oils, on account Of apprehension of
choleva. Peppermint is grown to best
advantage in good garden soils, but re-
quires an abundance of moisture. An
acre will grow plants enough to yield
from eight to fifteen pounds of oil, &C.
cording to the age of the plant and the
locality, and the price is from 1926 to
1915 pound. There are no large
farms entirely devoted to this product,
but it is cultivated in small quantities
by many farmers. 1t is used in medi-
cine, confectionery and for perfumery,
and is diluted with alcohol and water to
to make essence of peppermint. It is
also largely used by sanitary engineers
for testing joints and traps, q few drops
poured in wash bowl or closet making
it's presence sensible to smell at any i'm
perfect joints in pipe leading there
from, its pungent ordor not being ap-
parently at I'LL affected by the sewer
gases. Peppermint is to considerable
extent adulterated with castor oil, oil
OF turpentine and oil of pennyroyal, but
the authorizations can be detected with
out much difficulty.

The New York Yacht club, of which James
Gordon Bennett, Jay Gould and Cyrus W.
Field, Jr, are members, entertained the Of
acials Of the Greedy relief expedition at dinner
few days ago. Chief Engineer Melville Of
this city madea long speech, in which he set
forth the feasibility of settling once for all the
question Of IN open arctic sea, and that, too,
without loss Of life. He stated his will
ingness to take command of such an
expedition, and that moderate sum
would be sufficient to cover all the ex-
pensea Young Mr.: Field, in answer, said that
he was convinced Of the truth of the theory ad-
vanced by Chief Engineer Melville, and that he
was perfectly willing to advance half the sum
required to meet the expenses of the expedition,
provided the other members of tho yacht club
present would put their names down for the
remainder. This they at once agreed TO- The
money was subscribed on the spot, and there
Melville's command will sail from an American
port in the fall of 1885, Lieut. Melville will
obtain leave of absence from the navy without
pay for two years for this purpose.

Senatorial Contests.

The congressional committees of both par
ties, especially of the Republican party, arc
preparing to give considerable attention in the
coming campaign to the election of legisla-
lures which are to choose senator's. Already
tho field has been thoroughly looked over and
tho situation pretty carefully diagnosed
eleven Republicans and fourteen Democrats
complete their terms of Office on the 4th of
March next The Republicans who go out arc
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, Cameron of Wis
York, Blair of Ne Hampshire, Jones of Ne
vada, Ingalls, Of Kansas, Allison of Iowa,
Logan of Illinois, Plat of Connecticut
and Hill of Colorado. 1t is pretty
well understood here that Cameron of Penn
sylvanis, will desire reelection, and that
such desire on his part is equivalent to an
election. Senator Morrill, of Vermont will, of
course, return. Senator Blair of New Hamp-
shire would like to come back, but to do this
he will have to be up pretty early in the morn
ing, for Secretary Chandler is looking to that
position. Senator Ingalls, of Kansas will doubt
less come back, as will Allison of Iowa. The
name of the Hon. Andrew Shuman, chief editor
Of the Chicago Journal, who has had q good
deaf OF political experience, is being mentioned
for Logan's place Ex:Congressman Farwell,
congresses, and who is man of wealth and ex-
date
Of the fourteen Democrats, whose terms ex-
election of successors to Williams, of Kentucky;
Jonas, of Louisiana; Groome, of Maryland; and
Pendleton, of Ohio In Missouri it ia expected
that Senator Vest will be returned. In Indiana
there is likely to be pretty hot fight over the
candidate for governor Of that state, has an eye
on the senatorship, and should he succeed in
carrying the state and legislature for tho Ro-
publicans, he will be likely to be elected az
Voorhees, successor: In California the Re-
lature and a Republican successor to Senator
Farley: On the other hand, the democrats
claim to be confident of carrying New York
and Nevada, so as to send Democratic success
sors for the Republicans now representing
those states in the senate. From Georgia and
pants will be returned In North Carolina
there is to be strong effort to carry the lcgis-
lature and elect Republican senator in place
Of Senator Vance. 1t is pretty certain that
Republicans and that Of the fourteen retiring
Democrats, eleven will be succeeded by
Democrats leaving three Republicans and
three Democrats doubtful. The senate
now stands thirty-eight Republicans
thirty-si1 Democrats and two Readjusters
who vote with the Republicans. The Republi-
cans practically have forty members. The
eleven who are to retire next March will re-
duce the number to twenty nine Add to these
the eight certain Republican successors of re-
firing members, and the number would be
thirtyseven. The gain that has been mado in
Oregon increases the number to thirty-eight,
or just half the senate So that if even the
Democrats were to carry the legisla lures Of all
the doubtful states there would be tie. Should
they do this and the Democratic president and
vote on tic would make the senate DEM
Ocratic.

Results Of oresly's Expedition.

Lieut. Greedy had a cordial reception from the
British Science Association at Montreal He
was surrounded and welcomed in an expressive
manner by Sir Henry LEROY: Sir Henry said
ne, az well as all geographers and scientific men
Of Great Britain and the whole of Europe had
followed with great interest the efforts made to
effect the release Of his party, and hailed with
the keenest delight their rescue.
In reply to Sir Henry's inquiries Lieut.
Greedy stated that the meteorological observa-
tons have not been reduced. In an animated
manner he proceeded to speak of some Of the
work done on the expedition. One of the
most interesting results will be comparison
of the swinging OF pendulum at the further
est point north reached with that at Washing
ton He explained that although most Of
their instruments had to be abandoned, the
pendulum apparatus which weighed ninety
pounds, was brought back and has been sent
to Washington. He remarked with evident
pride that he had told his party that the pen
dulum was very important instrument, but
that if one man of the twenty five complained
he would Immediately abandon it None would
hear of this and a very important comparison
ls thus made possible. Speaking Of the obser-
walton of temperature, he stated that the low
est temperature ever recorded was experienced
in February last, when the mean temperature
was 50 below zero. After short stay Lieut.
Greedy returned to his hotel

American Naval omosrs' Views.


Washington, special:-Naval officers hero
are discussing the war between France and
China, and comment upon the easy destruction
of the vessels of the latter. The French are
after OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES" said one naval Of
fcer, ''and they propose to get them at any
cost That is the policy of England and Ger
many. There is no consideration of morality,
of human justice of human right that will
prevent these nations from pursuing .
policy favorable to their commerce. 1 recol-
lect once that the Japanese government wanted
to establish quarantine in order to prevent
the spread of cholera Our minister, Gen
Bingham, consented, but the English and Ger
man minister refused because it would inter-
fere with ther commerce, and when the Japa-
nese stopped one Of their vessels, = man-of-
war went down and brought the ship up to the
harbor. There is no use when the interests
of a nation like England or Germany are in
volved, to talk about justice. or even mercy,
for they recognize nothing of the sort"

Xr. Dlaano'S History.

Henry l. Dawes, United States senator from
Massa chuetts, says: II had been in congress
six years when Mr.. Blaine came into public
life, and I have known him from that day to
this intimately, both in his private life and in
his public course. have watched his career,
and think that am able to Judge whether a
man is honest in public life or not, and I should
be false to my duty and to the truth i'll did not
declare my solemn conviction that there is no
man in public life whose public and private
character is more FREQ from stain than Mr.
Blaine's have known him thoroughly. Ihave
summered with him and wintered with him. I
have been on intimate terms of friendship with
him; have differed with him on political ques-
tons; have quarreled with him, and have con-
fided in and trusted him. believe him to have
been actuated by the purest motives in all HE
public acts, and to be ambitious to connect his
name with an administration Of this govern
bilities before the American people, and shall
assert the power of tho republic wherever its
flag floats. I make no reserve in this indorse-
ment of Mr.. Blaine. draw no distinction be-
tween private character and public life.

In view of q long and conspicuous life without

prefer to twist and torture them into something
that they deem dishonorable Ihave read late
