Jersey City Evening Journal
Mr.. Henry Howes of Vermont, chief of
a division of the General Land Office at
Washington, who has Just been removed,
was one of the most experienced and ca
pable clerks in the Department of the In
terror, perfectly faithful and trustworthy,
and possessing Il knowledge of land titles
and of the details of the business of the
Land Office which made his services of
very high value to the government. The
Burlington, VT, FREE PRESS mot being a
Democratic paper, asserts that MIR.
Howes was anything but an offensive par
tisan." Now the facts prove that he was.
The remOvac came about in this manner ::
personal friend of the new Democratic
Commissioner wanted Mr.. Iiowe's place,
and he has been promptly superseded by
Il man who has everything to learn, and
who, in all probability, when he has
learned it, cannot begin to make good the
place of his predecessor. What better
evidence than this can be brought out to
prove that Mr.. HoweS was Il very offensive
partisan? A Republican otlice-holder
against whom no good charges could be
brought is the most offensive kind
of an offensive partisan one who
can be shown to be rascal, or
who ought to he discharged for incom-
potency is not an offensive partisan at
all 1t is to meet the cases of just such
men as Howes that the new Democratic
law defining offensive partisanship was

George II. Hally of Lansingburgh, NY,
has perfected water telescope" by means
of which, it is claimed, the deepest water
can be inspected as thoroughly as the
water in the shallowest dish. The tele-
scope is expected to prove very useful to
sportsmen in locating the best fishing
grounds in any river or lake, as all fish
can be as easily seen in the deepest water
as in pail. Judging from the fishing
stories that we had heard we supposed
these water telescopes had been in use
for years and years"

Gathering Up the Sand by the Lake Shore.

There is a little industry across the lake
at the village of Port Kent, which few
people are familiar with, and which nets
"A man and his two young sons no little
revenue during the course of the summer
season. 1t consists of gathering from the
shores of Lake Champlan in the vicinity
of the port the black sand washed up by
the action of the waves, which is gathered
and carried to the village in Il scow boat
where it is dried, sifted, put up in barrels
and shipped to the New York market.
The sand is used in the manufacture of
black emery paper, on the sides of match
boxes to ignite the matches upon, and
also in sanding painted sign boards. The
sand brings in market seven dollars per
ton, and in the course of the summer
many tons are shipped. When ready for
shipment the sand resembles very fine
powder. Two car loads have been shipped
this season, and several tons of sand are
now in preparation for shipment.

There was some very fine organ PLAY ing
after service last Sunday evening at the
Church of the Advent, by Mr.. Clarence
Eddy, organist of the First Presbyterian
church in Chicago. The choir at this
church, under Mr. Whitney's direction, is
an admirable one, and the service is given
with great perfectness in every part. The
labors of the Organist and choir master
for Mr.. Whitney is BOTH, are very ar
duous, not only in training the large num-
Der of boys but in the duties of his Office
generally, but they are amply repaid by
the fine results achieved. -BOStOn Sat

are eighty men in the course in mechanics, and
twenty-five in agriculture; the latter is double
the usual number.

mer cost $500, and are full, to within ten men,

shops have a milling machine which cuts to the
width of an inch, a new shaping machine, and a
sensitive drill for fine work. There are eight
new FORCES, Il new stationary forty-horse power
engine costing 5000. They are now building a
cupola furnace and will soon be able to take a
wood pile and iron ore and make them into ma
chimes. or useful structures. DR.. Smart is in
much better health and strength than last year,
and thinks the outlook for Purdue better than
it has been for years. The school of pharmacy
under DR.. John Hurry. of this city, as pharma-
cist. and a teacher from Ann Arbor. bids fair to
have a large class.
