A WHITE BLUEBIRD.
A Curious Specimen of the Species In

A Curious Specimen of the Species in
Illinois.
Among the bluebirds that returned to
this locality (Elsah, Ill., in the spring of
the year 1888 was curiosity. 1t was an AL
bino, milk-white specimen, and from the
distance at which it allowed itself to be in
spected not feather of darker shade
could be seen. Paradoxical as it may seem,
it was white bluebird, and yet it was not
a bluebird, because it was a whitebird. Its
song and habits we're identical with others
of the same species. On three different
occasions we were within few yards of it,
but were unable to determine it's sex, or
whether it paired with any other bird of it's
kind during the breeding season. It was
often seen during the summer Of that year,
and during the months of October and No
vember was in its favorite haunts nearly
every week. and sometimes every day; but
nearly always in company with bluebirds.
1t seemed enamored of the sunny slopes
and deep. cool, wooded ravines along the
bluffs of the Mississippi river at that point.
Late in the fall, when the frosty nights pro-
claimed the summer ended, it would hit
about its favorite trees, dashing in and out
of the yellow sunshine with its feathereo
friends that were getting together to seek
winter quarters, and We wished it a safe
and speedy journey to its balmy southern
home, little expecting to ever see it again.
But it returned the following spring, spent
the second summer with us and remained
until December, when with others of its
kind it was evidently preparing for its an
nual migration to warmer climes. We
trust it has not fallen by the gun of the pot
hunter or the taxidermist, and We often ask
ourselves Twill it come again9"-Forest

self in the minor details of the organization
Of Tammany hall, but in those greater
things, wherein the doings of Tammany are
of importance to the party throughout the
country. it will be found that his hand is
firmly on the helm.
Never in his most humble relations to
Tammany did Mayor Grant give such heed
to Richard Cookers requests as he does
now to those of William c. Whitney. If
Mr.. Whitney, with Tammany, combines
against the governor, he cannot secure an
undivided delegation from New York to the
next presidential convention.
If Mr.. Whitney. with Tammany, makes a
fight for Cleveland he can obtain a sufficient
number of delegates to overcome the objec-
ton that is heard that Cleveland is not
potent in his own state. William c. Whit
ney is to be the actual dictator of demo-
cratic politics in New York.

PROFESSOR RICHMOND SMITH, of Co.
lumbia College, an authority in statis-
tics, shares the popular impression that
the census work has been made SO vol
luminous and cumbersome that it will
result in failure. He says in an article
in the Political Science Quarterly: 1.-THE
expert and special agent business was
very much overdone at the last census.
Elaborate descriptions OF agricultural
and mechanical processes were pub
lished, illustrated with thousands of ex-
pensive plans and cuts, an undertaking
which added greatly to the bulk of the
volumes, and consumed money which
ought to have been devoted to working
up the statistics proper. The superin
tendent of the last census has fully ex-
planned why this was done in 1880, and
acknowledged the weakness Of the pro-
cedure. But the superintendent of the
eleventh census should understand that
a repetition Of the process is not to be
tolerated, and he should hold his special
agents down to the less exhilarating but
more valuable, purely statistical work
Under such process of treatment, he
says, the census volumes would not be
so big or SO numerous, but they would
be much more trustworthy. We trust
Professor Smith won't bar the enumer-
ators from returning complete lists CIV
ing the political complexion of voters to
charmen Of county committees.

PENNSYLVANIA.

Pennsylvania is ordinarily repub-
lican state by from 10000 to $4,000 plu-
rality, but the election for governor
there this fall will be watched with
close interest by intelligent men in both
political parties, to see il the threatened
revolt against Quay and his methods
takes place. The rejection OF Quay
would mean great deal more than the
defeat of party boss. It would mean
that the public conscience was aroused
to an expression of condemnation of the
whole federal administration, for Quay
and his practices everywhere prevail in
the conduct of national affairs Mt pres
ent. Fortunately Quay has chosen as
his candidate for governor, in the person
of Delameter, a person as VIGOROUSLY
corrupt and unfit as himself. The dem
ocrats have promptly joined issue
with their opponents by renomi-
mating Ex-Governor Pattison, who was
elected governor in reform fight in
1882 by more than 10000 plurality. His
record while in Office was clean one,
and he is the democratic platform in his
own person. AS governor he secured
the abolition of useless Offices, opposed
extravaganza, waste of public funds,
urged the equalization of taxes, ballot
reform, and many other wholesome
measures. Incredible as it may seem to
outsiders, the belief is very general in
Pennsylvania, and many republicans
share it, that Pattison will be elected.
Expressions of discomfort are every
where heard among republicans, not
ably among those who went into the
movement that defeated Beaver and
elected Pattison in 1882 John 7.
Schoonmaker, one of the leaders in that
movement, said on the day before the
democratic convention was held: "Pat-
tison will be nominated, and his past
record will elect him. Pattison will
carry the state as easily as he did before.
He will get 10000 republican votes in
Philadelphia alone, and thousands in
other parts of the state" Ex-Congress-
man Scott estimates that, as result of
Pattison's efforts to equalize taxes when
previously in Office, he will get IS per
cent of the agricultural vote of the
state, regardless of party utilization. A
smashing defeat of the republicans in
Pennsylvania would purify the political
atmosphere like thunder storm, but
what would become Of the man under
grandfather's hat, with his guide, philos.
opher and friend under the daisies?

ELECTRICITY FROM FIRE.

Startling Promises Made of Results to
Come From New Invention.
For fifty years electricians have been try
ing to discover method of converting heat
directly into electricity, says the Hartford
Courant. Until recently no results of COM
mercial value have been obtained. Such
method seems now to have been discovered
or invented by young man from Maine,
H. b. Cox. If Mr.. Cox's claims are just
and capitalists have confidence enough in
them to have formed n company with
capital of 81, 900, OOO-the whole system of
power and lighting will be revolutionized.
and steam will be regarded as too expensive
for ordinary uses. 1t is impossible to estl-
mate in advance the Immense value of Mr..
Cox's invention, but it Is certain that he ex-
poets almost incredible results from 1t and
that he has inspired with his confidence
some of the shrewdest business men of
Hartford and Boston. As has been said,
company has been organized and incorpo-
rated in Maine, where Mr.. Cox was when
some Hartford men met him. Since then
all the business has been brought to Hart
ford, and all that has been done since has
been done at the factory of the Pratt d
Cady company. The capital stock is
81 ,OOO. COO, and none of it is now for sale.
Francis A. Pratt. of the Pratt 4 Whitney
company is the president; Il. N. Pratt. of
the Pratt d Cady company is vice-presi-
| dent, and Ernest Cady. of the same com
| pany, is the treasurer. Z. Henry HYDE of
Hyde & Joslyn, is a stakeholder. one of the
directors and legal adviser of the new
company. All the patents asked for by Mr..
Cox have been allowed, and they will be is-
sued in a few days. Both foreign and
domestic patents have been applied for.
The apparatus used for converting the
heat into electricity is SO simple that the
company does not dignity it by the name
of machine. BY Mr.. Cox's method heat is
changed to electricity as simply as water is
changed to steam. His furnace is all that
may be seen. From glowing Goals comes
the subtle current, without the aid of
boiler, engine or dynamo. A jet of gas can
be made to run dental machine. a sewing
machine and anything which requires no
more power than these. No power has ever
been discovered that is half SO cheap rs
will be electricity obtained by this new
process. This has been the drean-appa-
rently impossible of realization-of all
electricians, and even the wizard of Nenlo
park has almost despaired of its ever being
brought about. Yet a young man, only
twenty-eight years of age, seems to have
solved the pnzzling problem.
Before the company was formed, Mr..
Cox had n furnace at home by which he ran
many electric lights. This furnace was in
jured N being transferred TO Hartford. and
a new one of the same size has not yet been
completed. Experiments and private exhi-
billions have been conducted here on
smaller scale, but in short time the COM

SHAKE.

The English skipper who found him
self in New York harbor on Fourth of
July and decked his craft with bunting
from stem to stern explained that he
was celebrating the anniversary Of Eng
lish freedom from America, and every
thinking Englishman shares that feel
ing to-day. It would be hard to find an
English student of history who would
now maintain that the colonies had not
right on their side during the struggle
for independence. He may feel a little
sore even yet if you recall the defeats
sustained by the British arms, but he
will readily admit that the war itself
and many of its methods were, so far as
the British were concerned, acts OF most
glazing injustice. 1t would be equally
hard to find Britisher who would not
confess that the loss of the colonies,
which seemed to his ancestors critical
misfortune, was not out and away the
very best thing that could have hap
pened to. both countries. The aristo.
crat Of the mother country may not
warm to our republican institutions
is scarcely natural that he shouldn't
it is no exaggeration to state that the
great mass of English democracy re-
spect, admire and love their kinsfolk
across the sea. There may even be a
tinge of jealousy excited by our phe-
nomenal advance. Mr.. Carnegie thinks
there is. He says: "The position Of
affairs between the two branches of the
English-speaking race is just this: An
eldest son has made great success
since he left his fathers roof, and it is
difficult for an energetic and pugnacious
old gentleman to realize that his son
has attained his majority, and has be-
come man resembling his parent in nc
quality more than in being determined
to make his own way in the world, and
work out his destiny after his own
fashion, feeling that destiny to be some
thing 80 grand that the world has never
seen the like" Be that as it may, the
future rivalry of Britain and America
will be one of the noblest in history, a
rivalry in arts and letters, in noble deeds
and heroic aims, in everything that will
tend to make the life Of the English
speaking peoples more deservedly the
admiration of the world.

BRAzIL,s CONSTITUTION.

1 The new constitution of Brazil closely
follows that of the United States as
although there are some de-
Z ,partures from it. 1t provides for a pres
! ident with powers very nearly the same
ras those conferred upon our chief magis-
=, u,trate Legislative powers are vested in
cta senate and chamber Of deputies. There
hare 63 senators in all-three for each
+, state and 200 deputies. After the first
election, which is to be by the two
thouses in joint assembly, the president
ss,,is to be chosen by electors, who are to
n be chosen by the people, in proportion
to their delegations in congress- The
elections by the electors are to be held
lin each state separately, as with us, but
ndoubtless, as with US, the suffrage will
,,be concentrated by some such plan as
rthe convention system, SO that the col
leges Of electors will simply become reg
istering bodies, as is the case here. In
case there is no choice by the colleges,
tho two houses in joint session are to
elect, choosing from among the three
persons having the largest number Of
votes. In case there is a failure to
elect under those circumstances the
third name is to be dropped and the
congress is to choose between the two
OTHERS. There is an important depar-
.ture from the United States model in
the provisions relating to the tenure OF
the executive Office. The president is
to be elected for six years and is to be
Ineligible for the next ten years succeed
ing his term of Office. This is very
wholesome check on the possible abuse
81 executive power that the United
States might initiate to advantage.
The constitution contains provision
making the secretaries of state ineligi-
BILE to the presidency during their terms
OF Office. The provisions relating to the
succession to the presidency in case Of
the death or absence of the chief magis.
trate are somewhat similar to those
which existed in the United States un
til the passage Of the presidential sue
ceasion bill short time ago. The sue
ceesion falls in the first place to the vice
