EDITORIAL NOTES.


 Vote early, and vote for Sloat and Whit ney.
 It is the duty of every voter of New Haven to vote to-day. Don't put it off until it is too late
 Too many lawyers, many think, have been sent to the legislature from New Haven. Vote for Sloat and Whitney.
 If Messrs sloat and Whitney are elected to-day New Haven will be we'll represented in the legislature. Both are men of brains and good judgment. Vote for them. A French infantry officer has invented 8 repeating rife which is believed to excel everything of the kind hitherto devised. The weapon can be loaded with it's seven car tridges in ten seconds, and completely dis charged in four. A great merit of the arm is that it can be fired until the magazine is ex- hausted without being removed from the shoulder.
 The Indiana circuit court holds that a telephone company is "a common carrier of | news or intelligence" and has no right to de- cline to furnish instruments to any person requiring them and complying with the con- pany's regulations. The case was that of a subscriber with whom the company had had | a dispute, and whom they were attempting | to punish by refusing to furnish two instru- I ments for his office at the regular rates. M de Lesseps is by no means discouraged yet. He has renewed his application to the French government for permission to issue new Panama canal bonds to the amount of $12O, 1000, ,00O upon the lottery plan, and has explained that the money is required to cover l s'expenses in excess of the original esti. | mates" AS the original estimate of the en- tire cost was $1sO, 900, 900, this admission that | the sum must be doubled now, although only a comparatively small part of the work has
 been done, will not encourage investors. | Five years ago the Central News associa- tion of England made careful canvass of all
 the counties and boroughs in advance of the general election, and it's forecast of the result proved to be remarkably correct. The asso-
 citation has now completed a similar prelimi
 nary canvass, and it's estimate is that the | Liberals will have 314 seats in the next House l of Commons, the Tories 179 and the Parnel lites 97; while 76 are put down as doubtful
 This calculation, however, may be entirely upset by the performances of the 2,0OO, ,0O( l new voters.
 In some recent scientific experiments or
 the effects of cold two frogs were frozer
 solid in a temperature of about twenty de grees Fahrenheit, and kept in that condition for half an hour. On thawiDg slowly they
 recovered perfectly, but it was found that
 longer periods of exposure invariably killed
 the animals. The experiment. was tried O
 freezing dramatically sealed meat, so as ts
 kill it's bacterial organisms, and thus render
 it incapable of putrefying It was found
 however, that so low temperature as eight,
 degrees below zero would not destroy th'
 vitality of micro-organjsms. It was thu
 made clear that the attempts to preserve mea
 for long time by momentary freezing of i
 must be abandoned.
