Seventy-five Thousand New Vo
tiers IN Two Cities.

Seventy five Thousand New Vo-
ters IN Two Cities.
From the New York Herald
The increase in the number of regis
tered voters in the metropolis this year Is
unprecedented.
comparison must be made with 1884,
not only because the highest figures previ
GUS to this year were then reached, but
because that, like the present, was a presi-
Dental year.
The second days registration in 1884
was 1856; the second days this year
reaches 90,979. The increase is more than
| 1900.
The total registration for the first two
days in 1884 amounted to 1884. This
year it reaches 1867 The whole in
crease is more than "a 400.
The total increase in the entire registra-
ton this year is not likely TO fall below
$4,000. 1t may reach $4,000, or even
nearly 10000.
That would run the aggregate number
of registered voters in the city up to
100000 or 5,000-possibly 100000.
The number of regis cred voters in 1884
was about 241,00). HeLce not less than
$4,000 new voters will be entitled to go to
the polls in this city on election day.
In Brooklyn the registration of this
year already exceeds that of 1884 by more
than 100000 The completed registration
will show an excess of more than $4,000,
making at least 10000 new voters in two
cities.
What is the cause of this remarkable
increase? The causes are various-growth
of population, young men having come of
age, aliens naturalized, voters aroused by
the Importance of the coming election to
register who did not register four years
ago.
Of the total vote in this city in 1884
Cleveland gos more than $4,000, and
Blaine got 10000. In other words there
were $4,000 more democratic than republi-
can votes. Naturally, therefore, great
mai ority of the new voters this year will
go to Cleveland. And this is equally true
of Brooklyn, which also gave Cleveland
large majority in 1884.
In this city, in Brooklyn, aud in fact all
over the country, a large proportion of
the new voters are young men who will
cast their first ballot on November 6. Most
of them will vote the democratic ticket
because the democratic has become the
party of progress. In its early days,
when the republican party represented
progress, honesty and public spirit, young
men were drawn to It's ranks. For the
same reason they are now attracted to the
democratic party.

EXPERIMENT STATION.
The Success of Diffusion-A New
Process of Making Sugar.

Process of Making Sugar.
New Orleans Picayune.
The Plcayune has received the foil owing
interesting letter from Prof. VIM. @.
Stubbs, director of the sugar experiment
station at Kenner, La, which will be found
interesting to all engaged in the sugar
industry;
KENNER, La, October 10, 18S8.-Editor
Picayune: The accompanying sample of
sugar, made by our new diffusion battery
in new way, is so simple and yet so sue
cessful, that have deemed a communica-
ton of the facts to thu public to be both
instructipg and entertaining. Milk of
lime, containing one pound of lime to a
gallon of water, was added to neutrality in
each cell as soon as it was filed with chips
and then diffusion was performed in the
usual way. The clear and pure juice
coming from the cells was sent at once to
the double effect and thence to the vacuum
pan where it was grained, giving 1873
pounds first sugars.
Molasses cooked to Shiny sugar is now
in hot room, and we hope to obtain 20 per
cent more from this massecuite Second
sugars.)
Everything worked admirably, and we
are delighted with a process that elimi-
mates the expense and discomforts of
Qualification, scums, settings and filter
presses. The simplicity of the process is
wonderful
The cane worked contained II to II 6
per cent sucrose and 8 to 81 per cent
glucose.
Tomorrow the experiment will be re-
peated with hopes of a larger yield, since
to-day at least twenty-five pounds of
sugar were lost in leak in one of our
heaters before discovery. Yours hastily,
VIM. G. STUBBs, Director.

The Heart of Africa.

Tho Heart of Africa.
oh, fare you well, my sweetheart true;
Farewell for a year and day;
For I'm going 10 sail on the Sankuru,
In the heart Of Africa
I'm going to capture a cockatoo
On the banks Of the broad Kassai,
And take swim in the bright Benue,
In the heart of Africa.
I'm going to camp with the wild Zulu,
And shoot with an assegai,
And chase the spiral horned koodoo,
In the heart of Africa.
I'm going to paddle my own canoe
On the Silvery Ogowai,
Till come to the city of Sakatu,
In the heart of Africa.
If don't return, o sweetheart true,
At the end Of q year anda day,
Think not am drowned in the Sankuru,
In the heart of Africa.
For there may be reasons unknown to you
Why cannot get away;
l may marry the queen of Karague,
In the heart of Africa,
