And those grants The said) were made by
the consent OF the people of the United
states and in pursuance OF resolutions OF
the Democratic and Republican national
conventions of1SG0. They were made with
out regard to parties, or TO north or south;
for the south had also, at that time pro-
ject for Southern Pacific railroad. The
Republican party said that it would not
strike down any protected industry of the
country; that, when manufactures had
sprung up by the aid Of protection, IL would
not strike them down, derange their con-
duct, derapge their plans, lower the prices
Of their labor. The Republican party would
join with the Democratic party In reducing
such taxation as bore heavily on the people,
but 1t would preserve the system Of pro-
lection by tariff duties just SO long as II
was necessary to give to Americans fair
chan % in the trade and commerce OF the
country, so as not to invite foreigners to
compete with home industry.
The law referred to by the Senator from
West Virginia lin regard to immigration
under contract) was passed in the midst Of
the war, when 1000, 600 northern men were
down south. 1twas law inviting foreign
ers to help to make good the absence OF
brave Union soldiers. He would have voted
then for any kind of law TO defeat the Dem.
ocratlc party Of that day. But he was sure
that he had voted for its repeal whenever
that matter was presented.
He congratulated Congress that the coun-
try was now to have fair, square, manly
issue presented on the Industrial question
a question which affected the life, property,
and interests OF every citizen-a question
between protected labor In this country aud
the pauper labor Of Europe-a question
between diversified Industries and that Of a
single (agricultural interest with few
blacksmiths andlcarpenters' shops scattered
throughout the country.

Nnrrren.inn Fences

Even SO commonplace thing as {
fence gives character to the landscape.
This is matter of importance to ali
who are interested in rl.yking country
places and country life as attractive az
possible. Tic fences of Norway, as
described, must be an ugly blemish
upon the face of the country.
Two thick stakes of pine, from seven
to eight feet long, are driven firmly
into the ground within an inch of each
other, and repeated at intervals of four
feet.
Smaller sticks are then placed in 6
slanting position between the uprightS,
which serve as grooves to keep them
in their place, and they are still fur
Their secured by their being bound to
gether with twigs of osier.
When completed, it makes so COM
pact a fence that weasel could
scarcely put his nose through. They
cannot, however, boast of combining
the ornamental with the useful, hav-
ing a gaIInt, monotonous look, which
made us long to see them replaced by
the pretty hedgerows of England

rrIclks IN Photoernn1rr.

There are various ways for provid-
ing surprising results in photography,
things that in one age would have
been called magic, but in ours recog-
nized as scientific tricks. The ghost
picture, for instance, in which q
shadowy ghost-through Which ma
terial objects are visible-is seen be-
tween natural attitudes and occupa-
tions. This is produced by an almost
instantaneous exposure of the figure
that is to do duty as the ghost, fol-
lowed by full exposure of the figures
and properties that are to appear natu-
raj. Another novel trick was shown
recently in photograph reproduced
by prominent trade Journal, which
presented the photographer. seated at
table, playing chess with himself
seated on the opposite side of the Ia
BILE, while he himself stood up in the
background looking at his two selves
playing.
The figures were all on the negative,
which was produced by three success
siye exposures of the plate, parts there
of being masked each time by black
velvet shutter Still another trick is
that by which person who liked that
sort of thing may appear to be photo
graphed riding upon flying goose or
a fish, or any other desired style OF
ridiculous locomotion. This is done
by the subject holding upon his lap 6
huge piece of white or sky tinted card,
with the fanciful figure drawn upon it
His face appears above the upper edge
of the card, and seems, in the picture,
joined to the funny little body mounted
on the goose or fish. The statue pic
ture is made by about the same device.

Nautical surveys.

Tidal observation and current obser.
walton form proper parts of ordinary
nautical surveys. The purpose of such
observations is the Immediate and
direct one of aiding navigation; hence
the selection of stations, and the char.
acter and extent of the observations,
will be made to accomplish this pur.
pose. Ii. however, the tidal obserya
tons are made for obtaining data
whereby the theory of tho tides may
be perfected, if the current observa-
tons are made to discover the general
laws of oceanic circulation and their
results, then these considerations will
lead to a choice of stations and

that purpose. 5Science.
