SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

Some tubes retain twice as much mag
netsm as steel rods, and therefore arc bet
ter for permanent magnets.
Nitric acid produces Il black spot on
steel but not ON iron, and the biacker the
spo, the harder is the steel.
In a paper before the Royal Society Of
London Prof. Hughes explained the pho
nomena OF magnetism on the theory of
the rotation o. the PARTICLES Of iron.
Contrary to the gcncrol impression, ex-
j,crimcnts by the En-, fish Government
show that fast grown timber is stronger
than that which grows more slowly. The
experiments were made chiefly in oak.
The wool of Merno sheep in Australia
is likely to hold Il high rank in the mar
kcts OF the world. Soil. climate, and cul-
ture have greatly improved the sheep since
they were brought into the country.
Fish culture is by no means AL invcn-
ton of our day. In "Ihc World Dis

Companionable people are those
who have a knack of making light
of their tribulatiOns and vexations,
and habit of putting them out OF
sight; who do not entertain their
acuuaintaRces with the recital OF a
leaky pipe, bad ba king, the chill
dren's measles, the shortcomings
of the servants; who know how to
keep their melancholy, ifthey have
any, out of the conversation; whose
nerves do not furnish them with
material for morning call; who
are not al ways on the lookout for
adrought, or a change of weather,
or slight; who do not lament
their property aloud, and make us
feel resp Onsiblc for it and uncom-
Portable amidst our plenty. The
cOmpan iOnable people never seek
to max us dissatisfied with our
selves or our belongings; they talk
about the things we like to hear
and are silent upon the subjects on
which we disagree; they do not
differ from MS for the sake OF differ
ing, and do not announce their
opinionslas if there were no appeal
therefrom.

matters involved were so clearly
within the absolute and exclusive
jurisdiction and control of the
State that they declined to dis.
cussany of the grounds justifying
the legislation-it justified itself By
the fact that it came from competent
authority.
To be sure the BourbOns have
been tampering with our Read
justment in their usual plum dering
and disingenuOus way; and they
have thus given the brokers; for
eign and domestic. en- couragement
to fresh attacks up on the State and
people but no collusion Of British
greed and Bourbon fraud can with
stand the sovereignty of the State
and the majesty of the people, If
these be wisely and ma nfully asser-
ted and maintained. We need not
expect the enemies of Readjust-
ment and the ancient allies of the
brokers-the BOurbons-to assert
and maintain these as they should
be in this matter. No. Virginia
and Virginians must look, and can
alone hopefully look, to the Repnbli-
cans (who now embOdy all the real
friends of Readjustmen) to carry
the State debt to the equitable
settlement fixed in the Riddleberger
bill.
Meanwhile all patriotic citizens
of Virginia will treat the insolent
circular of the British brokers as it
deserves-with indignantcontempt
While these British sharks may
forget it, no loyal son of Virginia
will forget that he is a party de
fendant in this matter, and that his
duty to himself, as well as to the
State, demands that so far from
aiding and abetting Nirginia's
despoilers and enemies, he should
do all in his power to defeat and
repel them. - Wing.

A story comes from Atlanta,
Georgia, that strikingly realizes
that of Jean Vatican in Victor
Hugo's Les Miserables. According
to the dispatch it appears that one
of the most wealthy,inhuential and

ty, in Georgia, pillar in the church,
active in school work, and identi-
fled with the business prosperity
of the neighborhood, is in reality Il
condemned murderer, who many
years ago escaped from Jail in
Texas. The citizens for a time
could not beheve the evidence
against him, but he was arrested
and put in Jail. A petition, signed
by all the leading men of the coun'
ty, asking for a pardon, has been
forwarded to the governor.

In a recent lecture at Monteagle,
Tenn, upon manufacturing in the
South, Mr.. A. S. COlyar, Of The
Nashville American, drew this con-
trast between Pennsylvania and
Tennessee, by way of showing that
diversified industries are the foun'
dation of prosperity: "The man
who inherit ed all his ideas says he
must aaaer'ea, 'a,i to o. the lie iheiHaE'diaged-farm
policy and no argument can reach
him. Take The two great States OF
Pennsylvania and Tennessee, point
him to their history-tO the equali-
ty in their natural resources and
the great difference in their devel-
oped resources. Show him that
each State has about 10000 square
miles, each has mountains filled
with minerals, and each has rich
productive valleys-that both have
immense beds Of coal-that Ten
nessee has twice as much iron as
Pennsylvanla-that Pennsylvania
has diversified persuits, but Ten
nessee has not-that Pennsylvania
is working up the raw material and
making a home market for her
farmers - that her farms are worth
nine hundred millions, while ours
are worth less than the hundred
that one single city in Pennsylvania
manufactures goods enough in one
year to buy the whole State OF
Tennessee and have fifty millions
left that farm lands in one State
are worth 800 per acre, while Ill
the other they are not worth one
fifth of that, show him all this, and
show him that it all comes from
diversified pursuits, giving people
employment, making a home mar
ket, buying at home aud selling
abroad, bringing money in instead
of sending it out, and still the man
with inherited ideas will stand by
the mortgaged-farm policy, nothing
can move him. The younger mer

Plant a Home.

Young beginners in life's morning,
Don't forget the rainy day;
Sunshine cannot last forever
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot OF beauty
Some fair lot and plant home.
You, too, who have babies round you,
Coming up to take your place;
Give them something to remember
Homestead memories let them trace
Would YOU feel the pride of manhood,
Let the sun your dwelling greet,
Breathe the blessed air of freedom,
Own the soil beneath your feet.
You. too, who perhaps have squandered
Life's fair morn, tits not too tate,
start at once to WOO bright fortune,
Rail no more at so-called late.
Sow the golden seed of saving,
In the rich and quickening loan,
Spend your last days not with strangers
Enter Heavens gate from home.

How the wOoI-GrOwers Vote.

CINCINNATI, September 3O.-A
document was laid the public
yesterday ia the shape Of an open
letter from G. r.. Fowler, the heavi-
est wool-grower in Ohio, to G. IL.
Barger, chairman of the Demo
cratic State COMMITTEES Mr. FOw-
Ter has always been a Democratic.
He received a letter from Barger
stating that he had 'been recon-.
mended as a Democrat of intelli-
gence and devotion 10 the prin-
ciples of the party and advising
him of his appointment to the
important place Of Advisory Com.
mitteeman." In reply Mr.. Fowler
says:
have been a Democratic voter
since my majority, and an honest
worker at the polls, bat believing
the interest of American citizens IN
American Industries shOuldpredOmi-
nate rather than the devotion to
the principles of any party and
believing that if the Democratic
party be now placed in power it
would be controlled by men who
wOnld ignore the great principles
of Protection, | find myself, in the
present campaign, unable to sup
port either the platform or the
ticket, and would respectfully de-
cline the appointment named.
Ia a letter to tht press, in which
he 'n@kes public this reply, Mr..
Fowler discusses as ,angth the atti-
tude of the two parties, 10th in
Congress and in convention, o,u.
Guiding as fellows:
| think the wOol-growers OF our
country can better afford to 0ulld
their future upon the broad prin-
ciples of Protection. and on a plat
form that recognizes sheep hus'
bandry, rather than to rest their
homes on a platform that declares
for "a tariff for revenue only or
for Government expenses eXclu-
sively, and mentions not their In
dustry. The tariff Of 1861 was a
Republican measure, and to that
measure wool.growers owe all the
prosperity they have had. Also,
had it not been for the Republicans
of the House, the Morrison bill,
reducing our present protection ~
per cent, would have passed,
Hence, considering the political
complexion of the votes in the last
Congress: considering the defeat
of Protectionists in Democratic
conventions and the renomlnatlor
, of those of Free-Trade tendencies
, considering the entire past poll
cies and the present platforms o
the two parties, believe that FOL
future security the wool. growers
industry will be safer in the hands
;. of Republican majority and woul'

New York Tribune.


from October /, to September 30,
1872, charged the county of Erie
for sG3 days, personal service in
attending the courts Of that coun-
ty, Notwithstanding the fact that
for a considerable part of that
twelve months no court was in
session. And in any case we have
a thoroughly credible witness who
will swear to having made one
copy from the Official record then
on file.
Attached to the bill which con
tains, among other charges, that
of SG3 days service in one year, is a
sworn affidavit, of which the follow
ing is a copy;
state ofN. Y, Erie County, ss:
"Grover Cleveland being duly
sworn, says that the items in an
nexed account are correct, and
that the disbursements and servl-
ces charged therein have been in
fact rendered, and that no part of
said account has been paid or
satisfied.
Grover Cleveland.
Sworn befor thcundersigned,t this
lst day Of October, 1882.
w. i. Smith,
Notary Public.
Not only did Sheriff Cleveland
charge for his services for SG3
days, but covering good part OF
the same time for doing precisely
the same work, at the same courts
on the same days, he charged ex-
ira for the services of his deputy.
1t is probable. and may yet be put
in proof, that Grover Cleveland did
not attend court within that twelve
months, and that when it was neces-
sary for the sherid to be present he
was represented by his deputy, fol
which an extra charge was made.
Therefore, while Sheriff Cleveland
unwarrantably stretched the Gre
gorian calendar, if not his con
science, he at the same time secur
ed $2,5S7 from the taxpayers tc
which he was not entitled.
On the day that Grover Clcve
land made a charge Of $500 fol
hanging Patrick Morrissey he also
charged for rhis personal attendance
at various cOurtS.-lt was in this
same twelve months, when he was
rapidly accumulating wealth at the
public expense, that he charged the
county of Erie twenty-five cents
for a brush and comb for his Owl
use, and made other similar charges
Such is the kind of a man that th'
Democratic party would like tC
make President. If the vouchers
showing his charges for the las
fourteen months of his term a
sheriff were not missing the public
would probably learn something o
peculiar interest about this bogu
refOrmer.
