Sthecase Of the Representative from the
Patterson New Jersey assembly district
has been the closest and most important
in:its results. AT firstit was claimed by
the Democrats by three majority, upon
which recount was demanded. During
thisrecount errors were discovered which
gave promise, that the Republican had
been; elected, but at the last counter
error was discovered which elected Car

majority. This, gives the Democrats one

the Legislature, and we urge such action
as can best secure it.
9. We urge such alterations of the fee

persons against abuses and provide pro-

reforms in our County Governments and
to reduce the burden of taxation, as we'll
as to secure such changes in the judicial
system as may be needed, we earnestly
request our legislators to consider the
advisability of calling a constitutional
convention, unless, in their judgment, the
necessary changes may be better obtained
by amendment.
After the reading of the platform q
motion was made to take itup by sections.
This excited some discussion, and a
division was demanded on the question,
resulting yeas 80, nays %.
The platform was then read by sections,
and was adopted. During the progress
of the reading there were one or two
short discussions, during which Farmer
Tillman was called upon to explain
matters, which he did in his usual forci-
bic and graphic style.
The next business transacted was the
election of a Board of Agriculture,
in case the Legislature grants the request
of the farmers, as follows: D. K.
Norris. Anderson; NJ. L. Donaldson,
Greenville; E. T. Stackhouse, Marion (;
B. R. Tillman, Edge6eld; p. Duncan.
Union; Allen Johnson, Newberry !;
Johnson Hagood, Barnwell; R. A. Love,
Chester; E. L. Reeves, Charleston A.
E. Davis, Fairfield.
Farmer Tillman then moved that q
committee of five be appointed to take
steps to have the legislation recommended
by the Convention presented to the Gen
eral Assembly, and passed, if possible.
This evoked another discussion.
Capt. Stackhouse thought that the
executive committee should be entrusted
with the work.
Another delegate thought that COM
mittce of three would be sufficient.
Their expenses would have to be paid,
and as the farmers had been preaching
rctrcnchment, it would be as well to prac
tice it right here.
Finally it was agreed that the commit
tee should consist of three members, to
be selected from tho executive committee.
After the transaction of other business
of minor importance the Convention
adjourned sine die.

The Beauty OF Coal.

JIyell, IN MS experiments WlCQ coal,
remarks ''that after cutting slice so
thin that it should transmit light, it
was found that in many parts of the
pure and solid coal, in which geologists
had no suspicion that they should be
able to detect any vegetable structure,
not only were annular rings of the
growth of several kinds of trees beau
tifully distinct, but even the medulary
rays, and, what is still more remarka-
BILE, in some cases even the spiral YES
sells, could be discerned." Again, in
another place, ''the high state of pres
ervation in which many of the objects
occur, the perfect condition of the
leaves, and other parts Of many of the
ferns, the preservation in which many
of the sharp angles of numerous stems
and plants known to be of soft and
juicy nature, with the surfaces Of
sagillari@, especially marked with
lines, streaks, and futings so delicate
that the mere drifting of a day would
have inevitably destroyed them, togeth-
er with the occurrence Of certain fruits
which are found in heaps and clusters,
together with many other facts Of like
nature leading to similar conclusions,
convince us that these objects have
never been subjected to drift, but were
buried on the spots where they lived
and fourished. We quote these evi-
dences Of the perfect preservation Of
fragile plants and Of fruits of a remote
age as an important reason why further
inquiry as to it's cause should be made.
II these plants were suddenly immers-
ed in a fluid which excluded light and
air and preserved them while becom-
ing solid, it is analogous to the preser-
walton OF plants and insects in gum
copal, and does not require unusual ar
guments to obtain relief. The presence
Of trees standing upright where they
grew and imbedded in coal suggested a
probability OF immersion in the same
way. The recent discoveries Of inn
mense deposits Of petroleum in subter-
ranean cavities or streams suggests the
theory which is here offered-that this
mineral OIL as it was first called,
may be the origin Of coal and not its
product. Note the thickness Of many
strata Of coal al-some are sixty feet
thick and are of uniform structure
with slate Of limestone floors and roofs;
and coal also has qualification closely
resembling stratitied rocks which de
serves attention. Petroleum, bitumen
and asphaltum are classed together as
of a similar nature, although the first
is a liquid and the last-named a solid.
We find a great difficulty in believing
petroleum to be a vegetable product.
Il any species Of vegetation yielded
more resinous or oily products in form
er ages than those Of to-day, these
products were either drawn from the
earth, water or air to supply the vege-
tation that held them. 1t also seems
unreasonable to haves SO much yegeta-
ton derived from the vegetable fiber,
when the entire growth Of vegetation d
any soil or climate appears inadequate
to represent a uniform body Of coal

were begged to take home with them
the beautiful and dainty Dresden china

They refused, of course, as nobody

Paupers In Nearly all Trades.

gentleman who is connected with q
charitable organization that contributed
to the relief of about 5000 distressed
people in this city during the past year,
when speaking of the liability of different
grades Of working persons to come to
want, said:
my experience shows that no class is
exempt from absolute pauperism, but it
is very plain that some trades furnish bet
ter livelihoods than others, and that any
trade is better than no trade, unless it is
the trade of seamstress for a woman.
Thus we We're called on to relieve
$40 laborers and only ffty-fve car
penters seVenty-nine 'longshoremen,
and seven plumbers, and that shows,
too, the difference between trades.
Among builders we notice strik-
ing peculiarly. Relief was given to
eighty-six painters and twenty-six ma
sons and bricklayers, while only six hod-
carriers were found to be in need. Think
this is due to the solid front presented by
the Hod-Carriers' union Among the
metal workers we relieved twelve brass
filters, seven boiler-makers, twenty-three
blacksmiths, tWenty-six machinists, thir-
teen moulders and fifteen tinsmiths I
was somewhat astonished to find that
tWenty-one engineers were needed. They
were men trained to care for stationary
engines in nearly all cases.
Horsemen seem to be as well off as most
wageWor2ers. Werelieved nineteen coach
men, siKty-three drivers and twenty-three
truck-drivers. The clerks and salesmen
relieved numbered los, but the sales
women numbered only five. Against
this small number we have TO place
$50 seamstresses and 656 washers and
scrubbers. There are thirty-four nurses
on our lists also. The servants Of the city,
considering their number, are not badly
off. We relieved forty-nine cooks, sixty
four walters, and thirty-five other serv-
ants. Among other trades we supplied
the wants Of forty-one printers, one press
feeder, two shoe-cutters, one trapeze per-
former, sixty-seyen tailors, one under
taker, three Watchmakers, one ropemaker,
five milliners, four paper-hangers, eight
cen seamen, and three photographers.
The professions are not exempt, for we
had five physicians, one organist, five
clergymen, thirteen teachers, four law
yers, four artists and one editor There
are no paupers among the reporters."-

"A Discovery OF Great Importance.

An experiment that may lead to very
important results was recently made in
England with a piece of steel containing
Is per cent. Of manganese. The ordinary
magnetizing process of touching with
magnets had no effect upon it, and when
placed beneath the poles OF a powerful
Ruhmkorf electric magnet, excited by
forty large tray Daniel cells, it only ex-
hibited q faint trace of magnetism The
quantity of excitation was but one five
thousanth part as much as is exhibited
by some specimens of steel that have
been similarly treated.
1t is well known that the tendency Of
metal to acquire magnetic properties un-
der certain conditions has caused world
of trouble in the arts and considerable
loss Of life ia navigation. The rate OF
time pieces on land and ocean and the
polarity Of the compass on shipboard are
at times altered to q dangerous extent bY
the infuence8of masses of metal, and any
method that can be devised for the pre-
vention of this would be real blessing,
It the construction Of our watches and
metal ships of steel made as above noted
should abolish the danger it will prove
TO be one of the most valuable steps for
ward in the mechanic arts that have been
made II many years past. Chicago

How the Esquimaux Digs q Well.


Usually the Esquimaux can tell which
way tie current Of frozen river trends
by lying flat on the ice, and placing the
face close 80 it, and turning the eyes alter
nately to the right and left, Or up and
down stream, sighting along the level ice;
but although two of the keenest sighted Of
the Esquimaux young men tried this plan
on several parts Of Thanksgiving river,
they gave up in despair shaking their heads
and informing me that if the ice was off
the river SO that we could see the water
flowing it would be a very sluggish cur
rent. The only way to settle the matter
would be to dig through the ice, some five
or six feet thick, and sink pole in the
ice-Well, first on one side and then on the
other, until the force Of the current, how
ever sluggish, would carry it across to the
other side, and determine the direction Of
the current
This cutting an ice-Wen is very interest
ing and isidone with two instruments,
each on the end Of q long pole. The first
is a chisel, d sharpened spike, q bayonet,
Or any such instrument, with which the
native cuts q hole about foot deep in the
ice and probably a foot and half wide.
This chopped ice made by the ice-chise1
is then scooped out by q sort of ladle made
Of musk OK horn on the end of another
pole, and this alteration of cutting and
scooping is kept UP, digging out from six
to twelve inches each time, until the
water is reached six Or seven feet below.
The farthest / ever saw them dig an ice-
well to get to fresh water was eight feet
and a half.-Lieut SchWatka in Harper's
