 In mechanical curiosities there have been mauy wonderful exhibits in the present day. The piping bullfnch in the great exhibition of 1862 drew crowds to it but we remember during the sale of Weeks mechanical eollec- ton, half century ago, similar graceful little warbler. s.and we saw two other mechan- ical songsters which the French troops brought back as 8 part of the spoils from the emperor's summer palace at Pekin. We regret that we missed the machine for mak- ing Latin verses, which was exhibited in our day at the Egyptian hall-a real blessing to school boys; nor have we seen the squalling baby, which Q modern man of science cons structed-surely bringing of coals to New castle but we remember well about the year 1883 seeing a wonderful collection of auto- mata, which had been originally designed as presents to the emperor of China. There was young lady, ife-size, that play cd tunes upon 6 spinet; another that wrote lines with the beauty of copper-plate, while surpass- ing all in ingenuity was the figure Of a ma- gician with 8 tiny wand in his hand. It was mounted upon 8 small movable frame, which could be wheeled about at the pleas ure of a spectator, so that there was no place for 8 confederate to conceal himself. On putting into an oriice in the frame any one of the metallic cards, which lay about with questions inscribed on them, the fig ure. alter making you bow, struck with his rod a little door, which opened, and there was the answer printed on another card. The reply given was always strictly appropriate to the question, and was not of mere general character, like the an- swers on conversation cards. Then, when we asked: 'tMr. Ooniuror, are you not troubled with the inquiries of your numer- ous visitors ?" the answer was: II should be ungrsteful te say so." Our next ques- ton was of an entirely different kind. It was, we being young: "What is the sweet est passion in nature?" The copjurer bowed, knocked at the gaze, and To ap- peared Cupid with his bow and arrowl Sir David Brewster, who noticed this toy in his volume on Natural Magic" conjectures that the cards, though seemingly alike to the eye, differed in weight, and passed through the orifes we have named until they fell into the proper groove, and touched spring which moved forward the answer. The machinery employed must have, at all events been of the most deli cate order. Still these things were but the triaas of mechanical skill What wonders have we since seen of pieces of machinery which you might almost say thought.

1857. He had been in the service of the Pennsylvania bank, the total wreck of which was one of the incidents of the panic of that year. As usual in such wrecks, there was a
 large deficiency. The books of the bank had
 been kept in such mixed-up way that it's af-
 fairs were in great tangle. One day it was
 announced that the directors had found out
 how much the deficiency was. The old
 darky thereupon put on all his dignity and remarked, ''Ws don't care so much about knowing how much de deficiency is; but de question dat agitates my mind, and dat agi- tates de mind ob de public, is, whar's de de- ficienoy gone to-" They never found out exactly where the deficiency betook itself.
 Some of the English papers are furnishing good material for use in the campaign docu- ments to be issued in behalf of MT. Blaine Thus the PalI Mall Gazette says: We own nearly one. half of tine northern continent; we do an immsnse trade with South Amei ica; our treaty obligations in Central America are considerable; and the intervening seas are sprinkled with British possessions. On Mfr Blaine's theory of the universe all this Is wrong. The old world has no business in the new. Of course hs does not propose to drive US out at the point of the bayonet. He is not luuatic, but very able and shrewd Yankee. But wherever he can hc will oust us from the position we hold; whenever an opportunity offers he will use it to the utter most to replace our influence and our trade by the influence and trade of the United States, and he will regard it as his chief ob- ject to promote great American confedera- cy under the Bgis of the government at Washington, which would tend to increase the export trade of the United States at the expense of that of Great Britain.
 The life of member of Congress is not as easy as some think. The Hon. Luke Poland, who has represented the Second Vermont district for many years, has retired from pub lie life. He is nearly seventy years old, but he does not think his health or strength seriously impaired. If his work in Congress were confined to leg islation. he thinks he could get along very welI but the trouble is that the course of events has thrown 8 vast amount of ''oatside work" upon him. He adds: ''The principal source of this is in the pension office. Since the commencement of this Congress I have looked sfter nearly 300 pension cases. The labor and correspondence growing out of this has been very burdensome. do not speak of this to complain of it, for 1t was the only effectual way my constituents had to reach the department; and have performed the service cheerfuIly, and willingly, and as faitb- fully as could.

From 1850 to 1860 was 8 revenue tariff
 period, during which the increase of nanu-
 featuring establishments was about 1S, GOO,
 of capital about $46O, ,OoO. 900, of hands em- ployed about $50, ,O0O, of wages paid about
 $142, ,OO0,0 ,0OO and of products, in value about
 $87o, GOO, 900.
 The protective period began in 1882
 From 1860 to 1870 there were eight years of
 protection. four of which were distracted by
 the great civil war. Yet during the decade
 the number of establishments increased, in
 round numbers, III, ,OOO; capital, $1,1
 GOO, GOO; persons employed, 743.0OO; wages
 paid, $4oo, 600, 900, and the value of the product, $2, 400. 900, 900. These figures re- late to 1870, and an allowance of ten per cent must be made for the depreciation of the currency in estimating values. On the other hand, the disturbances caused by the var were very great, and no doubt very nearly balance the influence of imitation.
 From 1870 to 1880 the increase of estab- lishmeuts was, in round numbers, 700, of capital, $680, 900 ,000; of persons employed, 68o, 900; of wages, SIP. .OoO, 900; of pro. ductive values. $1,1OO, 100000. However, SIX years or Gn1s Qecau6 were years or great financial distemper, in fact years of adjust ment of all that war had made abnormal iu finance. The progreg- sive collapse in values laid busi- ness prostrate and etfeotually checked enterprise. The business prostrated by the collapse of 1873 began to revive in 1879, af- ter resumption had taken place. But dur ing the protective period, and despite four years of war and six years of getting back to real values. the figures show that the capital embarked In skilled industry increased from $1 ,009, 1855. .715 to $2, 790, ,272, ,6o6; the persons employed increased from r. 310,9 ,946 to 2,732, ,595; the annual VIA ges paid rose from $37s 87s s66 to S947,- 953. 795; and the value of the total preduo. rose from $l, 1885, s6I,6 to s5, 36e, ,579, ,194 Thus it appears that manufacturing capital doubled, the number of employed persons doubled, the total wages paid nearly trebled, 1 and the value of the product trebled.
 These figures do not furnish much comfort | for tho free traders, and they do furnish | very strong argument in favor of the protec- tive policy. A policy under which such re- suits have been attained is worth trying ! awhile longer.

The gentleman whose name heads this article is prominent member and strong factor of the Republican party in California, and is best known as Senator Sears from Marin county, having been in past years the peo- ple's representative from the Fifteenth sena- torial district. On the floor of the Senate and as chairman of various important com mittees, over whose deliberations he presided, Senator Sears fairly won impeTishable laurels. With his deep thought and ready and strong delivery he has tenacity of spirit that won't slet up" when he thinks he is in the right. This was ma infested in prominent degree in his anti-SIickens contest in the senate four years since. Being defeated by 8 partisan vote he subsequently, contested the constitu- tionality of the act before the Supreme court, this effort being crowned with victory, and the State thereby saved from further con- tributing annually half million dollars in- to the porous lap of the Slickens party.
