An election took place in Massachu-
sets, on Monday, ON the question Of incorpo-
rating n prohibitOry amendment in the
State constitution. The proposition was
defeated by 10000 majority. The con-
test was very intense and the ahlest ora
tors were employed on both sides. At first
it seemed that the Prohibitionisis would car
ry the State the rural districts favoring the
amendment. The Prohibition leaders, how
ever, decided that cider came under the head
of intoxicants, and from that moment the
farmers changed their views and went over
to the i.prohibitionsts. The large major
ity against the amendment appears to be q
great surprise to both sides. Tie ground
taken by many of those who opposed the
amendment was that prohibition was sub
ject for legislative enactment and could right
fully have no place in the fundamental law
of the State, which should be merely a def
milton of the principles upon which the laws
ofthe State should be framed.

Mr.. Harrison naturally expected,
when he was making his daily adj
dresses to visiting delegations, that
any injudicious or thoughtless remark
which he might make would be
promptly picked up by his political
enemies. This necessarily gave him
caution, and yet, with all his discre-
ton and'deliberation, it is still thought
almost marvellous that he should have
committed no mistakes in so many
speeches of more or less impromptu
nature. It was not known until re-
Gently that from the very day he COM

to the democratic headquarter were
vigilantly and anxiously gone over,
aud it was nothing but daily recurring
disappointment, that no sentence
promised the faintest opportunity for
campaign material.

Writing Famous Poems.
1.-THE Library,)

Gray's immortal "Elegy" occupied
him for seven years.
Bryant wrote "Thanatopsis' in
the shade OF grand old forest-a
fitting spot for such theme.
Cowper wrote one of the drolliest
and quaintest English ballads, "John
Gilpin's Ride" when he was under
one of those terrible fits of depres-
sion SO common to him.
General Lyle wrote his beautiful
competition, "Antony and Cleopa-
tra,'' which begins, 1T am dying,
Egypt DYING" on the night before
his death. He had premonition
that he was going to die the next
day.
The noted poem, "The Fall Of Ma
CARA" was written by its author, j..
G. G Brainard, the editor of small
paper in Connecticut, in fifteen min
utes. He wrote it under pressure in
response to call for "more copy"
after the Ball." the little poem
which has made the name of Nora
Perry known in the world of letters,
was iotted down on the back of an
old letter, with no idea of the popu.
larity it was to achieve in the pages
of noted magazine.
Thomas Moore, while writing
"Lalla Brookh," spent so many
months in reading up Greek and
Persian. works that he became an ac-
complished Oriental scholar, and
people found it difficult to believe
that it's scenes were not penned on
the spot, instead Off q retired dwell
ling in Derbyshire.
Poe first thought of BELLS" when
walking the streets of Baltimore on
Winters night. He rang the bell
of lawyers house Ga stranger to
him), walked into the gentleman's
library, shut himself up and the next
morning presented the lawyer with
copy of his celebrated poem.
The "Old Oaken Buckle" was first
suggested to the author, Samuel
Wood worth, in a bar-room. A friend
with whom he was drinking said that
when they were boys the oaken buck
ct that hung in his fathers well was
good enough for them to drink from.
Woodwork Immediately went home
and wrote the famous poem.
"Old Grimes" that familiar little
felicity in verse;" which caught the
popular 'ancy as far back as 1923,
was sudden inspiration of the late
Judge Albert G. Greene, of Provi-
dence, r.. l., who found the first
verse in collection OF old English
ballads, and, enjoying its humor,
built up the remainder Of the poem
in the same conceit.

The FURNISHING AND PATENT OF

The PUBL1sHING AND PATENT OF
FICES OF THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN.
Perhaps some of our readers have Wis
tied the extensive Offices Of the SCIEN-
TIFIC AMERICAN, at 361 Broadway,
New York, but many have not, and to
such the following account may be OF
interest. A correspondent who recent
ly had this pleasure informs us that he
was greatly surprised at the magnitude
OF the establishment. 1t suggested to
his mind an enormous insurance CON-
pany or banking hOuSa. AT the main
office, which is principally devoted to the
patent misunderstanding as 1t does so
important part of the establishment
may be seen the members of the firm and
their able corps of examiners. Ready ac-
cess to the principals is afforded to every
Que; and here may be seen inventors
from all parts of the country, showing
their models and drawings, and ex-
planning their inventions The models
left by inventors form a large ana inter
esting collection, and are kept in room
by themselves. The large corps OF
draughtsmen who prepare the patent
drawings are for the most part exper-
fenced mechanics, electricians, or engi-
neerS, some of them having been con-
nected with the U. 5. Patent Office.
Most of the correspondence is carried on
by type writers, aud this necessitateS
separate department, where number of
experienced female type writers and
stenographers are constantly employed.
The dark room, where the photographs
of the patent drawings are copied. aud
where the photographs for the architec-
tural department are developed is also
on this floor. On the floor above may be
found the editorial rooms. compositors'
and subscription loom and the engra-
vers' department.
The Architectural Department occu-
pies the top floor, and here may be seen
the manager Of this department, and
also "A number of draughtsmen at work

in their extensive patent departments.

An Interesting Contest.
STATE SENATOR SWEENEY LIKELY TO
LOSE HIS sEAT-How He HOLDS 1T.

PARKERsBURG, w. VA, Dec. 3d.
The interest in the proposed contest
of State Senator John ID. Sweeney's
seat is growing in this Senatorial
district. Sweeney, it will be remem-
bered, is one of the Democratic hold
over members. The election between
himself and Hon. Anthony Smith
was very close. Sweeney holds his
seat by reason of conflicting certifi-
Gates, Wirt county having issued
two sets. Mr.. Smith also holds GER
tificates which shows that he was
elected by majority of eight. Swee-
ney's revised certificates give him
twelve. On November l6, 1885. the
County Commissioners of Writ coun-
ty issued to Smith and Sweeney GER
tifcates which gave Sweeney major
ity of eighty two in the county. AT
terward Sweeney was notified that
his majority was 102, but the Com
missioners never notified Smith that
his certificate was erroneous. On
this suspicion that the Commission.
ers of Writ county made out Sec
ond certificate for Sweeney to give
him the necessary majority, the con-
test will probably be raised at the
January session OF the Legislature.
Should Sweeney be unseated the
Democrats will not have any MAORI
ty on joint ballot.
