PROTESTS AGAINST A COLLECTO

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24-Protests have
been received at the treasury department
against the practice Of the collector OF Gus
toms at Eagle Pass, Tex, of requiring
separate manifests for each and every rail
way car arriving with merchandise from
Mexico and charging a fee of %
cents on receiving each such manifest. In
letter to the collector on the subject,
Acting Secretary Thompson says that SO
far as impOrtationS from Mex
leo of merchandise in bulk, such
as coal, bullion and ores are concerned the
department approves the plan suggested
of requiring but one manifest for each
train, instead of requiring a separate man
ifest for each car of the same, and the col
lector is instructed to modify his practice
accordingly. The secretary adds that such
manifest will be subject TO no fees for re
ceiving the same, but fee of 20 cents
will be charged under the provisions of the
provisions for the general free list for per-
mits to land or deliver goods from each
train.

GEO. E. KEENET of Somersville, who was prominently before the last republican sena- torial convention, is favorably mentioned as 8 candidate to be considered in next weeks convention. He is a capable, affable and en- terprising citizen, who removed from Monson to Somers some 15 years ago, and is very popular with large corps of employees, as well as with all his fellow townsmen, and with the people of the district generally. Two other names will also appear in the convention, those of Albert E. Weld of Union and Albert Hall of Wilmington, who are hacked up strong ly, and have clements of strength as candi- dates. The convention is sure to put good candidate in the field. We have heard no names suggested for the democratic candi- dacy except that of George W. More of Mans field. He would be strong candidate, and make good legislator.

 To give the people of the country the details of the gathering, there were present correspondents of 281 daily papers. Camp fires were held every night at the famous West Virginia tent-a mammoth pile of canvas capable of seating 2,OO0 people and at the three general camps, Where, amid shouts and speeches and bands of music, the old battles were fought over again and the old stories retold.
 And, finally, the great parade of Tues day-larger than the grand review in Washington in 1865, larger than any ever seen in this country before What pen could picture its magnitude, it's grandeur, it's impressiyeness What tongue could tell of the feelings it excited and the mem- ories it stirred? Think of fifteen miles of moving men, marching twelve abreast fifteen miles of marching veterans; think of TO- 900 men in line; think of this line five long hours think of the three hun- dred battle flags, each with it's tale of vic tory and of sorrow think of the one hun dred and seventy four bands and drum corps, every blessed one of them playing Marching through Georgia" or "The Union Forever :" think of all this, and picture it to yourself, if you can, but do not ask your humble correspondent to at- tempt to describe it.
 When, after days and nights of turmoil and crowding, tramping of men, and blast ing of trumpetr, the crowd began to give away, and the citizens of Columbus re- tired, racked and weary, to their well earn ed beds, their slumbers were disturbed by visions of marching men, and streets strewn, not with wounded soldiers, but with banana skins, peanut shells and water melon rinds, while through and over and around their ears tramped eternally the demon bands to the tune of Marching Through Georgia.

WOODEN TooTHPICKS.-A tOothpick fac tory, so says the Timberman, is one of the fiourishing woodworking establishments at Harbor Springs, Mich., and it is one of the largest factories of the kind in the country. White birch is exclusively used in the manufacture of the toothpicks, and about 2, 500, 900 of the handy little splinters are turned out daily. The logs are sawed mp into bolts each twenty eight inches in length, then thoroughly steamed and cut up into veneer. The veneer is cut into long ribbons three inches in width, and these ribbons, eight or ten of them at a time, are run through the toothpick ma chinery, coming out at the other end, the perfect pieces falling into one basket, the broken pieces and the refuse falling into another. The picks are packed into box es, 300 in box, by girls, mostly comedy looking young squaws, and are then pack ed into cases and finally into big boxes, ready for shipment to all parts of the world. The white birch tcothpicks are very neat and clean in appearance, sweet to the taste, and there is wide market for them. The goods sell at the factory at $1. 90 case of 15O, 900 picks, or 100 small boxes each containing 1,5OO, and the small boxes retail at five cents each, or 300 picks for one cent, at which rate almost every body can afford to take fresh toothpick after each meal,
