The Republican majority in both
branches of the Ohio legislat ure, now con
coded by the Democrats, completes the
Republican victory in that State. Ohio is
a Republican State, and will retain her
Republican representation in the United
States Senate, in spite of the tremendous
Democratic frauds in Cincinnati.

The opening of the Republican cam
paign in New York State occurs Friday
evening, when Senator Edmunds and
Governor Foraker of Ohio will address a
mass meeting in Madison Square garden,
New York city. The Troy Times says
"The return of Mr. Edmunds to the hust-
ings is the notable event of this cam
paign."

Testimony in the mandamus proceed

vote SeUen times under different Names
and against the repeated protests of the

"vote early and often" is not looked upon
as Joke in Cincinnati.

Efforts are being made to block the trial
of Ferdinand Ward, perhaps by the per

suffered to stand in the way of justice in

When, occasionally, II man standing
high in church circles commits Il crime
us for instance that of the recent default
er, Burke, of Hartford, Conn, and the
particulars are blazOned abroad in the
press, the crime becomes doubly heinOus
from the fact of the mans religious pro-
fessions, and obloquy is cast upon the
church members and Christian people in
general. On the other hand, in the great
majority of instances where the criminal
never made any religious professions, the
press is commonly silent upon this fact
No significance is laid upon his being out
side the pale of the church. To say the
least, this is not fair. Let the world, as
well as the church, have credit for its
wrong doors.

A Vermont correspondent of the Troy
Times says that for ten years past no man
could be eligible to the office of Governor
of Vermont unless he had first served as
Lieutenant-Gove and that Mr.. d. NJ.
Camp, of the Newport Express, has this
claim to the ant-Governorship
that his father once held the office. The
facts are that in ten years past Vermont
has had two governors-Horace Fairbanks
and Roswell Farnham-who never held
the Office of Lieutenant-G Governor; and
the father of Mr. ID. NJ. Camp, of the New
port Express, never held the Office. The
Times should try to get correspondents
who know something concerning the mat
tiers they write about.

tits now said since the removal of United
States Judge Vincent of New Mexico, that
he was the subject of the correspondence
given out from the White House last sum
mer, and that Congressman Springer, who
recommended and indorsed him, was the
recipient of the Presidents rebuke. 1t
must be relief to the other three or four
judges who have been variously supposed
to be the incompetent appointee referred
to in such indignant terms by Mr.. Cleve-
land, to get the real man located.

We understand that L. s. Bank En-
aminer. Geo. w. Hendee, has resigned.
1t is supposed that j. j. II. Randall, Esq
of Rutland will have the office thus vaca-
ted. Probably Mr.. Hendee was requested
to resign. That at any rate was the case
with Examiner Daniel Needham, of Mass
achusetts, who, on his return to Boston
from the Legislative reunion at MOntpe-
lier, found a polite note from Comptroller
Cannon, requesting him to forward his
resignation to Washington. This he did
and his successor has been appointed.

ing the agent in the supersedure of COM

quired of them.

The race between the sloop-yacht P,rita,
and the cutter-yacht Genesta, is the all-ab-
sorbing topic of the day. The absence OF
wind on two occasions and the fouling of
the Genesta by the Puritan, did much to
dampen the ardor of many and the attend
ance was never as large as the day first set
for the initial race. The Puritan was built
especially to compete with the Genesta, af-
ter the owner of the latter had challenged
the Americans for the Queens Cup. She
was designed by Edward Burgess, a recent
college graduate, and built by George Law
ley & Son, of Boston, Mass. George Law
ley & Son occupy position to-day similar
to that held by the Steers, of New York,
when they built the Anerica, the original
winner of the Queens Cup. Although the
Steers were we'll known before the America
won the race off Cowes in 1851; yet that
event made their reputation international.
George f. Lawley, Of whom we present
a portait, is the junior member of the ship
building firm, and is son of George Law
ley, the senior partner. The firm is cele-
brated far and wide for the number of fast
yachts it has built, and has been in busi-
ness in South Boston for quarter of GEN.
tury. They built the celebrated 4Adnenae,
the Har6inger, the Neclusa, the Dorothy Q,
the Valhalla, etc. etc. They have also built
many cutter-yachts in addition to the steam
yachts Herald and Telegraph, for James
Gordon Bennett.

THE CREATION OF A STAR.-Astrono-
mers here and abroad have been watching
the creation of a star. In the nebula in
Adromeda star has recently appeared, to
which the telescopes of the scientific have
been truned from all quarters of the globe.
Later dispatches state that it is growing
brighter, as would be natural if the star is
in process of formation by the concentra-
tion of matter previously diffused through
vast spaces in the nebular form. The at
traction of a few particles fer each other
first produces little ball. Then the great
mass has stronger attraction and other par
ticles Join it. With each days reinforce
ment of matter the mass becomes more
powerful to draw in other recruits from
the nebular region around. The pressure of
matter against matter produces heat, and
in time the heat becomes great and the
star begins to blaze, and shine. Then each
addition of matter increases the heat and
intensifes the blaze, and then, after the
lapse of who can tell how many thousand
years, the wise men of this planet are at
The starry world has also its failures. In
the starry world of Cassiopeia, in 1872,
star blazed out with extraordinary brillan-
cy, but presently changed color, as it di-
minished in brightness, then rapidly fad
ed and finally vanished. This seems less
probable however, as the star whose new
birth is now recorded; for tendency to the
concentration in the nebula in the girdle Of
Adromedia has been observed since early
in this century. The more recent appear
ance of the nebula has been quite unlike
that described by the ancients, and in 1857
an astronomer described it as having light
equally diffused in all its parts. But Sir j.
Herschel in 1924 described the light as in
creasing to a spot of considerable bright
ness, which he liked in form to a nipple,
and the latter observations by the Harvard
reflector have more clearly indicated prog
ress toward concentration. If the process
mas been going on for centuries there is lit
tie reason to expect that the new star will
suddenly blaze out and vanish.

nag In Greenland attempts have been made
to raise some of the common plants OF our
gardens. At the Danish station ofGodthaab
latitude G40) close to the open sea, turnips,
radishes, lettuces and parsley are almost the
only plants that can be cultivated with any
success. Attempts have been made to cul-
tivate potatoes, but the tubers never attain
a size larger than marbles and are only
grown and eaten as curiosities. Under the
most favorable circumstances, green peas
produce shells, in which the peas are barely
recognizable.

FIDDLING FOR GEEsE.-A lively air on
violin will sometimes set a whole flock OF
geese wild with delight. On one occasion,
at a country wedding, l was a witness to
curious performance by one of these animals.
After dinner a lady entertained her. guests
assembled on lawn with music from an
accordeon. A flock of geese were feeding in
the road just below the house, and with out.
stretched necks answered back with notes OF
satisfaction. Soon white gander began
dancing lively jig, keeping, good time TO
the music. For several minutes ne keptup
the performance, to the great ellgnt OF tne
companv. The experiment was tried sew
eral times for a week or more, and the tones
of the accordeon never failed to set the old
gander into lively dance.--Maryland

TANNED THE FLIES FROM BABY's FACE:
Dog stories are always in order, provided
they are true. A gentleman in one Of the
suburban wards owns fine specimen OF the
spaniel breed, which is very fond of chill
dren, and when any little ones visit his
masters house constitutes himself their
companion, playmate and guardian. A
few days ago lady with an infant visited
the gentleman, and in the course of the day
the child was laid on a pillow on the floor
to amuse himself for time. The dog took
his place near the little one as usual: The
day was hot and the flies bad, and they
made the baby the target of frequent at
tacks. This rendered her restless. The
dog watched her for few minutes, and
then, walking close up, with his nose or
paw drove away every fly as soon as it lit
on the babys face, and did it so gently too
as not to disturb her in the least. The
dogs action attracted the attention of the
mother and others who were filled with
at his thoughtful kindness.
This story has the merit Of truth.-PHts-
b'Wy Chronicle.
