According to the Philadelphia Press there are three ways to elect Republican President this year. The problem is simple and sim mers itself down to the result in four States. Assuming that the Pacific States will be held, the Press believes that the Republicans can surely count on one hundred and eighty two votes. It takes two hundred and one to elect. If the Republicans can win New York they will have seventeen votes to spare; if both Indiana and New Jersey five to spare; if both Indiana and Connecticut two to spare. The Press advises the party to con- sider these figures and act accordingly. The inference is that the candidates must come from those doubtful States.

Erastus Snow, the Mormon aposSe who died few days ago, was one of Brigham Young's most devoted followers. Snow after he had travelled through the wilderness to Utah and worked for years in the southern territory, became apostle to the Scandinav- ians. As such he will be remembered. He baptized over 45,000 Mormon converts in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Of these 27 900 went to Utah. He witnessed the trials, the triumphs and the decline of the Brighamic scheme. He was a polygamist. He had thirty-six children. Those thirty-six children have sixty-fve children.

TnEPORT DI.COVERY ROAD.

A proposition has been started to
have the county road from Port Town
seud to Port Discovery Strengthened,
widaned and graded to q level easy
grade. A petition was presented to the
county commissioners, and it WAS found
upon investigation tina. the probable
cost would be something like $4,000.
The commissioners thought tue county
couId not stand the W hole of this amount,
but fiuaIly an order was entered for the
work to be done on condition that S5OO
be raised by subscription-the county
undertaking to meet $500 of the ex-
peuse. In order to further the matter
Messrs. Bradshaw & Sachs started asuh-
scription paper, and part OF the neces-
sary amount has been subscribed The
subscription paper has been LETT at the
ARGUS Office, where new names and ad-
ditional amounts will be received.
This work is greatly needed, aud we
hope that $500 Will be quickly made up
The city should open Water street to
junction with the Discovery road, across
RaiIroad Flat, and thus shortan and
straighten the road. The necessities of
the case will be readily perceived and
admitted by everybody, and only ener-
petic action is needed. Bradshow q
Sachs headed the list with n S25 sub
seription, and announces their willing
ness TO subscribe more than that amount
if anyone else does. Less than SOU re-
maiTs to be made up.

The Lake of the Dismal Swamn,

Ponder on this marvellous fact, says cores pondcnt: Tho Lake of the Dismal Swamp, in Virginia, three miles by two and half in extent, and from seven to fifteen feet ia depth, is situated on the side, and almost on the top of q hill, and yet it creates by overflow all around it for about 1900 square miles,
 one of the densost aud darkest morasses on the surfaca of the earth. In 17ea George WasMn gton surveyed tho Dismal Swamp, and discovered that the western side was mrch higher than tho eastern,
 and that rivers ran out of the swamp, and not into i-. He then wrote that the swamp was "leither plain nor a hollow, but a hillside" A member of the National Geological Survey recently entered tho Dismal Swamp, proceeding westward from tho Dismal Swamp canal toward the lake, and found that the rise of the land was five and a half feet in seven miles. We met this gentleman, MT. Atkinson, within tho bounds of the swamp, and oa hearing his statement asked him: "Could the lake be lowered and tho swamp drained with such an incline2' Certainly" he sad. Ut is very decided water shed. An opening from the lake to tho tide, on the E izabeth river on one side, and tho Pasquotank on the other, would have fall of 22 6-1O feet in distance of less than if teen miles,"

Origin of a Popular Song.

Among tho favorite songs of our d,y ire somo which originated under pc- :uliarly curious circumstances. The fa- niliar Peck -a- Boo," which has been worn nearly thread bare, was, according 0 it's author, Mr. Scanlon, an inspira- ion of the moment. It WIS suggested y tho gambol of somo children, who were playing arouad tho door whcro ho was sitting, idly picking out tunes up ,n an accordion. As the children oeeped curiously into his door, ho be- gan to say "Pcok-a-Boo," holding hi' aead at the same timo. Unconsciously he instrument played few notes to ,uit what ho was saying and tho idea of . new melody struck his fancy. He im- nediatcly wrote off tho chorus of "Peek- a. Boo'' upon an envelope and .ddcd few stanzas aftcrw,rls, touch- ng up the song at his leisure. Tho music came spontaneously and was far ess difficult than tho fitting of it with appropriate WoruSi puC as It was Dy no means his first experience, hc was not long in getting it into proper shape.
 It was certainly q happy inspiration for MT. Scanlon. This melody alono las nettod him $36, 900 in royalties, and till brings in comfortable income, as 1e receives six cents on each copy sol l. It has, with his numerous other com positions, made him fortune in strik- nq contrast with such writers as poor Stephen Foster and John Howard Payne, whose best work served only to enrich the publishers who wcre so for Mnate as to obtain their entire control. -[Detroit Free Press.

Gems and Precious Stones.

The most valuable of precious stones is the diamond-purc crystalized car- bon-the most highly refractive aud the hardest of gems, and tho only one that is combustiblc. This latter property was discovered ia 1891 by Cosmo III. of Tuscany, who ignited the diamond with burning glass; and later it was found that when burned in crucible this gem converts iron into steel The diamond generally occurs as an octahe- dron, and surpasses all other gems in the prop perty of dividing light into col ored rays, causing that peculiar flash of prismatic hues called its fire.
 Diamonds ara rated by the carat. The term carat is derived from the name of certain small leguminous seeds which, when dried, arc quite constant in weight. They were used in India for weighing gems.
 In 1871 the syndicate of Parisian jew elcrs, goldsmith' and gem-dealers sug gested 205 of a gramme as the value of carat; and this was confirmed iu 1877, all the leading diamonddealers of Lon don, Paris and Amsterdam accepting 1t. The English carat is equal to 3. 1883 plus grains Commonly reckoaed as 3. 17 grains) troy, hence there are 151 carats in an English troy ounce.

The PhOnOZenOgraDh.

The Due de Feltro has designed an instrument, which he calls 8 phonoze- nograph, intended to indicate the di- rection of any distant sound. A micro phonic plate of peculiar construction is fixed in vertical plane, and is in cir cult with a battery and telephone re- ceiver, or Q D.pro z.D' 'Arsonva- galva- nometer and Wheatstone bridge. Tho microphone is more or less affected by a distant sound, according to the angle that it makes with tho source. By moving tho plate about until the maxi mum If, ct is obtained the observer is enabled to exactly locate the direction of the sound. The indications of the telephone receiver arc absolutely accu- rate, but those afforded ly the galva- nometer are less so, and this latter ar- engagement will require great modified tion of the microphonic plate before it can be said to bo of practical nature. This instrument may possibly prove of use at sea ia preventing collisions in foggy weather. -[Ele ctrician.
