The many stockholders who attended the
meeting heard nothing but words of en-
couragement from the officials who have
done noble work for the Association. The
annual reports presented were filled with
cheering facts and figures, attesting the
steady growth Of the Association. the pop
ularity of its plans, and the energy
of those responsible for the conduct OF It's
affairs. Every claim against the Associa-
ton has been quickly adjusted aud prompt
ly paid in full; as consequence, the Asso-

IT Is to be hoped that there is no
truth in the report of the death of Prof
EDWIN SPARKS, Of Martins Ferry. He
was until recently superintendent Of the
public schools there. a position which he
resigned TO accept profcSsorship in the
University of Pennsylvania. REGISTER
readers will recall his communications
ON the subject of manual training,
which he. single-handed, introduced
and made successful in Martins Ferry.
THERE was certainly a full vote at
the Democratic primaries yesterday.
But whether or not it was altogether
Democratic is matter for conjecture.
For instance. i'm the Second ward 1853
votes were east. At the Congressional
election last November, when the full
Democratic vote was certainly out. but
POO Democrats were poned. Who cast
the other l64 votes ion that ward? Ii is
known that about thirty colored voters
of this ward east ballots at these Demo
cratic primaries. and the inevitable
conclusion is that Republicans took a
hand ia them. DO these Republicans
mean 20 Hop?

A Chinese Alligator.

Two examples of the Chinese alligator
have just reached the Geological Gar
dens, says the London News. They are
the first that have ever been exhibited
there alive. The alligator is SO distinct
ly an American animal that the proof,
SO recently as 1879, of the species
in China is extremely interesting.
Nevertheless, the Chinese classics con-
tain numerous references to the crea-
ture and even pictures which could be
easily recognized as being crocodile
Of some sort. ut is to be hoped that
the specimens Mt the Zoo will bear out
the notion of the extreme longevity of
the reptile. It's name is apparently
used in certain parts of China in the
same sense as Mcthusaleh in this coun-
try. Marco Polo wrote about this ami
NAL and recommended its gall rs an cx-
ccllent remedy for the bite of mad
dog and for various other complaints,
SO that it seems to have been the
medieval equivalent of some of our
much advertised remedies of the pres
ent day. Curiously enough, the beast
is even now made use of in Chinese
medicine" .F sF

MEN WHO WEAR coRsETS.

Moro OF Them Than the Public Has Any
Idea of, Says IL Dealer.
A good-looking young man who
dropped his cane on Sixth avenue n few
evenings since, evidently experienced
great difficulty in STOPPING to pick it up.
THAT fellow wears corsets," remarked
a gentleman, Inquiry at a store where
such things are sold, says the NewYo
News, showed that the gentleman's re-
mark was probably true. "a large
number OF young men in this city wear
corsets," said the clerk in charge of that
department. Indeed. you have not the
slightest idea how many wear them.
They are worn for various purposes.
Stout men wear them to reduce corpu-
lency, stoop-shouldered men so that
they will walk erect and widen their
chests, and other men in the hope that
they will thus gain u handsome figure.
mems corsets can be had from three
to twenty-five dollars, according to the
means and inclination of the purchaser.
They IRE made of the same material,
except that whulebone is substituted
for steel, as q woman's corset, but are
somewhat different in shape, being like
ten-inch belt curved to fit over the
hips. They lace in the back and are
frightened in front by means of elastic
bands. They are much easier than
braces, and hence are more popular
Indeed, 1 believe. it is only Il question
of few years when corsets will be
commonly worn by men,"
