Dean Stanley's Love Of America.

The Dean, who was accessible to all,
vas specially accessible to the Ameri-
can visitors. The were always well
coined with simple but most delightful
hospitality, which was abundantly re-
paid to him in the memorable visit
which he paid to America shortly be-
fore his death.
This visit may be ranked among the
happiest incidents of his saddened
later years. He was refreshed by new
scenes, and the enjoyment of those
scenes was unalloyed by the associa-
tons of past over which death
brooded with the shadow of his dark
ening wings.
Amid the strife of tongues to which
he was subjected in England in conse-
quence of ecclesiastical parties, he was
delighted with the warmth of well
come given to him with unanimous
accord in America by all classes and
all schools of thought But the enthu-
siasm of that welcome was chiefly due
to the brilliant and noble manner in
which he had discharged his duties as
Dean of Westminster, and had thus
formed the acquaintance of many
leading Americans. For to know Dean
Stanley was to love him. Acquaintance
with him soon ripened into friendship.

The aesthetics of Electricity.

In ordinary lights the direction OF
the flame is always upward, but electri-
cal illumination is not confined by any
limits. This suggested to Mrs. Edison,
the wife of the celebrated inventor, the
use of fanciful devices as fixtures for
electric lighting. Instead of n single
jet flaring upward, the electric light
can be distributed In every direction.
Some extremely beautiful results are
thus obtained. In one exhibition il a
flower-pot overgrown with wilderness
of foliage all done in polished brass.
The lights spring from among the
leaves like flowers from their stem.
Another device Is called the umbrella
light; in which the lamps are arranged
in circle located beneath q shining
reflector. A little motor causes the
lamps to revolve, and the result is two
apparent whirling circles of flame.
Another charming effect is hanging
framework of brass, in which the lamps
are SO placed that the stems form a
basket that may be filled with artificial
plants and flowers in their natural
colors. The lights can be made 10
permeate ornaments in rooms and pro-
duce surprising effects. In the magni-
ficent ballroom or drawing-room of
the future, there will be no Haring Jets
of flame, the lights will be distributed
so as not to offend the eye, but will be
so combined as to heighten the effects
of all the decorations OF the interior of
the ROOM

Wisconsin Birds.

The bird population of Wisconsin Il
estimated at sixty-six per square mile.
or $685., 600 for the state. Each bird
is assumed to eat fifty insects day, or
6,000 for summer. Hence, al the
birds will consume 2l,3S4, 600, 900
insects year. Add TO this amount
the work which these birds do in their
Southern homes, and we have low
estimate Of the influence they exert
over insect life. Multiply these figures
by forty-eight. for the states and
territories, and we arrive at the con-
clusion not only that our bird population
is pretty large, but also that without 1t
our bug population would soon be 70
large that it would eat us up.

Edouard Frere's Village Crit %.

"When Edouard Frere first came TO
Ecouen the world did not call him q
great painter. But all the little chill
dren learned to love him and kept on
with their games when he was near,
for they knew that Monsieur Frere was
Interested in their play. As the villag-
ers gathered around his easel when he
painted in the open air, or now and
then paid a reverent visit to his studio
and scanned the sketches on the wall,
they would pick out their friends and
acquaintance from the pictured
groups with many an exclamation OF
delight
..Seer' they would exclaim, before a
painting representing boys coasting,
''there Is Toupet scratching up snow

TWO UNFORTUNATE SAILORS.
One Blinded by a Blow, the Other
Crippled by Fail.
Ne1o York Herald, July "a.

-scH 4 vFh HeFutus 0bty @fs
Gen. Z. A. Merritt, the United States
Consul General at London, wrote to the
Commissioners Of Emigration at this port
lately, informing them that by the aid of a
few charitable friends he had secured
passages on the Grecian Monarch for two
destitute and disabled American seamen,
one Of whom, John Perry, a native of New
Haven. is almost totally blind, while the
other, Francis Hayden, is a cripple and on
crutches.
The men arrived at Castle Garden YES
terday and told superintendent jackson
the cause Of their misiOrtunes. Perry.
who is a tall man, about 40 years old, said
that in the summer of 1888 he was engaged
as bOatswaIn on the George Booth, which
was about TO start from London for South
America, and that on Sept. Is, while he
was lying i'm his berth at night, he was
struck on the head with a Ratchet by the
steward Of the vessel, who had become
mad from delirium tremens. The steward,
after striking the blow, rushed from the
cabin 10 the side Of the vessel and cut his
throat from ear to ear, after which he
jumped overheard and was drowned.
Perry was placed in hospital at
BuenOs Ayres, where it was discovered
that his eyesight was destroyed. He re-
mained in hospital three months and
whence h started for London and re-
ported his case TO Gen. Merritt, who Sc
cured him a passage for America and
gave him a check for $40.
Perry gives a strange account OF his
treatment on board the George Booth af-
ter he had become incapacitated for work,
and declares that he neither received
any wages, nor was formally discharged
from the vessel. He intends to start at
once for New Haven, where his wife and
family reside.
Francis Hayden was sailor on board
tue Knight OF the Thistle, a vessel plying
between London and Calcutta. During
his last trip from Calcutta, Hayden fell
from the tOpmast to the deck and frac-
tuTed his thigh in such a manner as to
make him lame for life. He is utterly des-
titute, and hardly knows how to find
means to take him to his friends in Sa-
yanuah.

HAMMOND BEATS JACKSON.

He Carries Six Out of the Eight Coun-
try Precincts and Probably the City.
ATLANTA, GA, July 3O.-The primaries
held in Fulton county to-day for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the Fifth
Congressional Convention brought out a
large vote, greater, perhaps, than on any
occasion of similar character here. There
were two full tickets in the field. One of
them for AamumDg99nSae nuDg9 nSaeeal and thPuef' feelffng
was shown at the polls during the day,
but no disturbances of consequence oc-
Cured. At the two city precincts good
deal of drunkenness was observed. Some
of the men who were in this condition
wore jackson badges. and, as they stag
gered about hunting hungrily for voters,
they made themselves so obnoxious as to do
Jackson considerable harm. A consider
able sum of money, it is said, was dished
out by friends of jackson, the amount be-
ing estimated at $4,000 or $4,000. Ham
mond's vote was, as a class, composed of
merchants and their clerks, while Jack
sons main support came from among
mechanics and the floating vote of the
city. Hammond's free trade record hurt
him with the mechanics, who went to Jack
son with the hope of bettering their con-
dition. Hammond carried six out of eight
of the country precincts. and while the city
vote has not yet been counted, enough is
known to say that he has carried the
county by a good majority. About IL
O'Clock an immense crowd gathered
about the residence of Hammond. on
Peachtree street, and cheered him
| Justify. He responded, and Thanked them

to act in such way as to show Them that

their votes at the ballOt-bOx to-day.

WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

A state Ticket Composed of GPeenback-
ers and Republicans.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 30.-The
Republican State Convention was called
to order to-day by G. w. Atkinson, Chair
man of the State Central Committee. j. 2.
Clifford was appointed Temporary Chair
man. Geo. +. Evans, of Martinsburg, was
| elected Permanent Chairman. The plat
form adopted arraigns the Democratic
party for not having fulfilled all its
pledges ofeconOmy and reform, for having
squanderedt the peoples money In eXtrava-
CANT and unnecessary legislation, for
having imposed unjust and onerous taxes
upon the people and enforcing their
collection by gross perVersion
of the State constitution, for hav-
ing, through its executive, defied and
abrogated the st 4te statutes, for having
through its judiciary revived the tyranny
of medieval history, for having subjected
to double taxation the property of a large
majority of the people of the State,
and for having imposed heavy burdens
on the people through frequent and
excessive reassessment of the realty of
the State. The platform fayors the pas
sage by the Legislature of new laws, and
invites capital to come in and develop the
great natural resources of the State. 1t
also condemns the Supreme Court of Ap-
pealS for overriding the statute
of the State for the express purpose
of Furnishing a Republican newspaper
for proper criticism ofitself and the party.
The usual planks in regard to convict
labor, foreign immigration and coal bank
laws were passed. An attempt to commit
the party to an Endorsement of the Pro-
hibition plank was defeated by very de-
cided vote. The following ticket was
nominated.
For GooernOr-Edwin Maxwell.
For 4 UditOF-J. II. Burtt.

CURRENCY CONTRACTION.
A Detailed Statement Fresh from the
Treasury Departments Books.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The following
statement in regard to the contraction of
the aggregate circulating medium during
the last session of Congress is based on
information obtained at the Treasury De-
partment: On December /, 1888, the sill
yer dollars in circulation outside of the
United States Treasury amounted to SAL
SO1, ,9s3, the silver certificates to $ST. .976,-
26l, the gold certificates to $5S. .S97. $40,
the national bank notes to $343, $685.
lSl, and the legal tender notes to $685.
SOo,312. On July l, 1884, the same
items were Silver dollars $50, ,794,9I3,
silver certificates $50, 42T, OH, gold certifi-
Gates $1L,l46,640, national bank no .es
SS25, 33I $50, and legal tender notes $780,
4gl,2l5. These figures show decrease of
Sl,oOl, ,OIO in silver dollars, an increase of
S., 450, $40 in silver certificates, an increase
of $l2,249, ,020 in gold certificates, de-
crease of $lS,660,925 in national bank
notes, and decrease of $309, ,157 in legal
tender notes. The result is an apparent
increase of $222, ,676 in the aggregate cir
culating medium of the country outside of
the amounts held in the Treasury.
WHENCE THE INCREASE COMES.
This apparent increase, however, is due
to an increase of $12, ,249, ,020 in gold GER
eiASNSCos WHiCu 10 ulSF6ll clECUlaIlOU IN the
form OF certificates of gold, which was
already in the hands of the people and the
banks. In other words, the scarcity of
paper currency, caused by the decrease in
the national bank circulation, induced
the people to use their gold, and they de-
posted 1t to obtain more convenient
gold certificates. Deducting, therefore.
this $12, $4,000 shows real contraction for
the seven months ending July 30, 1884, of
about $12, 100000. In addition, the eXpor-
tation of gold from the country In excess
of the importation during the same period
is $32, 494, 1926, while the gold production of
the mines of the country was about
$12,OOO,000. The net loss of gold
was therefore about $4,000, 900. This
added to contraction of other
forms OF currency, before shown to
amount to about $4,000, 900, makes the
total contraction of the circulating me-
dium of the country outside of the Treas
ury of about $32,O00,00O. 1t is asserted
in the office of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency that the Mcpherson bill which
failed to become a law would have at
once added $36,000,000 to the national
bank circulation of the country, and
would have compensated for the severe
contraction which has occurred.
