The Express, in morning editorial,
gives expression to Its regret that the
San Antonio Typographical Union did
not decide upon sending delegate to
the International convention, and gives
at its reasons the necessity of San Anto-
MOS being always represented, and also
the probability Of the securing Of the 10
cation of the Printers home here, If
proper representations were made by
the San Antonio delegate. The LIGHT
endorses most heartily the suggestion of
San Antonio's representation as come
thing decidedly beneficial to this city,
but does not think that there is any like
lihood of the site OF printers home be-
ing selected this session. The LIGHT
also most cordially endorses the sugges.
ton Of the Express that Mr.. Oscar c.
GuessaZ would make a most excellent
representative. Mr.. Guessaz Is the fore
man OF the LIGHT office, we'll known to
the craftsmen Of the union as standing
at the very head of his craft, and would
have an influence In the councils Of the
International Union, greater than could
be welded by any representative sent
from this city.

During the darkest days of the war
there was @ sauabble in Syracuse over the
appointment of postmaster. Two
factions OF the republican party had
candidates, and each mad sent TO Wasl-
ington numerously signed petitions for
the appointment of its favorlte. Fi0ally
to get the matter settled, delegation
com posed Of the wealthiest men of the
town and several OF the most prominent
ministers and lawyers, headed y Gen
eral Leavensw0rth, visited the national
capital and secured an audianoe with
President Lincoln. Gen. Leayenworth
had carefully prepared his speech TO Mr..
Lincoln, and it ran something like
this:
Mr.. Presidents 1t is with great reluc-
tuance that we intrude upon you this
morning. We appreciate the awful re-
probabilities and perplexities of your
position, and do not forget that the very
life Of the nation is in your hands. But,
Mr. Presipent, the people of the great
loyal North are at your back, and they
are praying, sir, that your life may be
spared, aud that you may be given
strength to carry this war through to a
successful issue.
Mr.. Lincoln listned to Gen, Levenworth
with some Impotence unul he reached
this point, and then interrupted him
with:
assure you my dear sir, that II isn't
the var or the arms chat is troubling
the lie out of me, it is that Syracuse
postoilicc that is keeping me awake
nights.
Ger. Levenworto did not finish his
speech. The delegation presented their
case in the briefest manner, and felt
more comfortable when shey reached
Pennsylvania avenue than thy did in
the presence of the president.

GERMANY'S ARMY,
It's Strength to Be Greatly Increased.
Efforts TO Incite Russian Poles To
Rise in Rebellion.

The committee of the German reichs-
tag has disposed of the landwehr clauses
of the military bill and adopted an
amendment relating to the period OF ser
vice for the second ban, the effect of
which will be to enable men entering the
active army before their Goth year TO
leave the landwehr eatlier. Gen Won
Sohellendorf, minister of war, syated that
the measure would give the army in time
of war an addition of nesrly 100000
trained men. The cost is estimated AZ
SS,000,000 TO 100000 marks. The
committee approved the bin without fur
Their amendment.
The Russian government has renewed
the anti German mea5ures in the Baltic
provinces. Forty Lutheran clergymen in
Livonia have been deprived of their bene-
fees without notice, because they used
solely the German language. The ezar
revives the post of governor of the three
provinces, and that official will be esPe-
cially responsible for Russianizing meas
ures.
Polish circles ia Vienna have received
an accession of strength ia the persons of
exiled mobiles, hitherto residing in France
and Italy. They have learned from War
saw that secretly printed proclamations,
unauthorized by the Polish Nationalist,
bearing the arms of Poland and Austria,
are being circulated in Warsaw. These
prot nations call upon the Poles TO rise
in Va OF the impending war. The di-
reotors of the Polish journals in Galicia
held conference in Lemberg and decid
ed to maintain The greatest reserve and
warn the Russian Poles against the men
trying TO ineite rising.
The Pesther Lloyd asserts that Count
Kalnoky is prepared to makca great con
cessions for the sake of peaceful under
standing with Russia, but requires solid
guarantees that changes in Bulgaria will
be effected peacefully.

Why French Women Are well Dressed.

Like every other fine art, dress requir-
es the sacrifice of time and attention,
and these French woman has more at
her command than an Englishwoman;
her life is less com phcated, less hamper
ed with the looking after of servants,
ordering OF meals, writing of letters, etc,
The middle class Partisan woman lives
in fiat, waited on by one or two servant.
She seldom dresses before dejeuuer at II
O'Clock, and deyotes the morning hours
to going over her afternoon toilet, seeing
that every button, hook and frill is in It's
place.
Very little dressmakiDg is done at
home ladies' maids are unknown in the
middle class French household. Mr..
Raskln's recommendation to women
that can afford it, to get the dresses
made by good dressmaker, with utmost
attainable precision and perfection" Is
endorsed by all French women, who be-
lieve it TO be the beat economy. Their
wardrobe numbers half the amount of
dresses OF EnglishWOmen of the same
social standing but they are generally
made By first class conturiere. The ano-
maly is never seen in French householdsi
as | have seen in many an English one
of girls employed in adding another to
an already large stock of gowns, while
gloves and stockins in daily use are un-
mended OF uudarned.

Interesting Facts Disclosed by Submarine
POPULAR Science Monthly.
Alta meeting of the society OF tele-
graph engineers and electricians, recent
ly, Edward StaIabrass read paper on
deep sea sounding in connection with
submarine telegraphy. Mr.. Stalabrass
said the work of surveying with a view
to ascertaining the confguration of the
ocean bed previous to laying a subma-
rine cable was of vital importance. Be.
tween Cadiz and Teneriffe alone, dis
lance of about 700 miles, 673 soundings
were takan On one expedition, resulting
in the discovery of two banks, two coral
patches and four other shoal spots. Some
of the inclines near these banks where
remarkable for their steepness On the
east side of one of these the bottom fell
precipitously for 450 feet, and on a
sounding taken by the DReia during her
survey OF the Seine bank, precipice OF
1900 feet was found A map of the mouth
of the Congo showed most remarkable
submarine gully, the contour lines of
which were drawn from POP soundings,
many of these having been taken at in
torvals of less than one nile. In the
mouth of this remarkable river depth
of no losss than 1852 feet was found, the
Thames in a similar locality giving only
about forty feet. The gully wac dis.
tinctly traced 100 miles out at sea. 1t
seems almost incredible that probably
one half of the cables now lying at the
bottom of the ocean, amounting to value
represented by several millions sterling
had been placed on their ocean bed while
carrying out the work were almost. totally
ignorant of the bottom on which the
cables were destined to lie.

The Wine Industry of California.

San Francisco Letter TO n. y. Tribune.
No better idea of the growth of the
wine industry in California can be OBJ
tanned than from the statistics Of the
last few years. The acreage planted in
vines has increased from $1,000 acres in
1881 to 100000 acres this year, Of whoa
10000 thousand are bearing WINS. Last
years vintage was one of the oest in the
history of the State, the most conservative
estimate placing the yield ct 100000
gallons. This year, oSing to couture
burning up the grapes by dry hot winds
and extreme hot weather, the yield will
not reach over 100000 gallons, Ct
which 100000 will be sweet wine, 5000
00O brandy and the remainder dry wines.
Next year, il the season is good, the enor-
nous acreage Of young vines that will
come into bearing ought to lift the
product to 100000 gallons. The capt.
tai in yiticulture IN California il es.
timated az SIS 900. 600. The shipments
Of vine by sea and rail in 1855 were . .022 :
474 gallons; in 1856, 4141,314 and this
year the shipments will very nearly APP
proaoh those Of two years ago. The dan-
ger of oyerproductiou has been proved q
bogy, for the best VINE makers in Cali
fornia have nov orders for more four OF
five years old wine than they can fill.
