The Orleans County .Hoaisor, published
at Barton and credited with being the
political mouthpiece of L. w. Baldwin,
chairman Of the Republican state com
mittee, in its issue of the 14th inst, says I:
The new ballot law has had. one trial in
the state at large, and so far as we see and
learn has not given satisfaction. In every
town reporting To us the figures show a
great decrease in the vote, and clerks report
agreat loss from improperly marked votes,
rs well as from q refusal to vote on the
part of old mon, illiterate voters and
Others who arc disguised with the
machinery OF the voting business. Vot-
ing is greatly delayed, and is tedious, to
say the least, under the system. The vote
Of the state il diminished, doubtless, from
1000 to 1000 by the mistakes and refusal
to participate in voting. We believe the
whole thing, so far rs Vermont is CON
ccrncd, is an expensive, unnecessary, and
announcement luxury and hope the first
thing the new legislature docs will be to
effect its repeal,

makes free trip to this city. How
these animals find THEN way among the
bananas is known ouly TO themselves,
but the suppOsition Is that when the
fruit is piled mp forshipment they crawl
among Ipo bUnchGs and stick there. In
shape there is scarcely any difference
between them and the ordinary crab Of
commerce, but in dress they are rs gay
as a stylish woman on Easter sunday.
Their legs, claws ard eyes are faring
red and give the impression that they
have stepped into hot water and man
aged 10 hop ont again without being
par boiled all over. Their bodies are
about as large as the back Of mans
hand and are perfectly black, and their
long feelcrs are of dark blue color.
They are known among banana handlers
MS land crabs. Sometimes they are
caught and kept as curiosities, but they
are generally Killed, as they live only
short time after they have been captured
and confined.
Big cockroaches, pure white in color,
are regular travellers among punches of
bananas. They are about twice the size
of croton bugs and appear to have
undergone bleaching process at some
stage in their existence.
A beautiful butterfly, with big body
and large wings, is also among the in
sects often found in banana ships. Its
body is almost white, except for deli
cate pink TINT, and its wings are of pure
white dotted with brilliant red spots. A
superstition exists among some of the
handlers Of bananas that if one Of these
butterflies lights upon person it is an
assurance of good luck.
SEA SHELLS NUMEROUS.
InnumCFable varieties of sea shells
find their way into the banana punches,
many of which are priced highly by the
workmen for their beauty. 1t is sup.
posed that they get into the punches
when the latter arc piled upon the sea
shore, preparatory to being slowed away
IN the holds Of the vessels.
One OF the prettiesL shells which finds
its way here in this manner is not much
longer than the middle finger Of per-
sons hand, and coils down symmetri-
cally from sharp point, like piece of
rope, to base as large around as sill
yer half dollar. Its color varies from q
dark blue to bright pink, tinged with
blue; between the creascs il is shaded
from sky blue TO deep indigo color.
Another shell is almost fiat, with cor
ri9ated ede,s and back, and ON the in
side it glisLens with a combination Of
pearly rainbow colors.
Rats and mice run out of the punches
when they are being iolted about, and
few days ago two little birds eggs were
discovered by q Washington street
dealer in a piece of folded leaf which
had become in some way attached to a
stalk They were white, speckled with
brown.
Of the thousands Of small spiders
which stick to the bananas none is more
feared than red one, which is so small
that often il is not perceived until it has
peFched itself upon a mans hand and
has injected its sting. The sting is not
fatal, but it causes no end Of inconveni-
ence, as the spot it penetrates becomes
exceedingly painful and swells up to
great size.

Party in Jamaica Bay.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-During the
storm which swept across this city and
Jamaica Bay last night the yacht Alton
under command of Captain Edwin s.

men and women into the choppy sea.
The captain and two of the men who
were good swimmers managed to get
the others astride the keel of the cap
sized yacht, which by this time had
drifted on a sandbar. All night the
shipwrecked party chung to the boat,
At daylight to-day they were discovered
and taken of by Captain Peters. of the
yacht Ella and carried TO Canarsc
nearly exhausted.
The wind also caused from forty to
sixty small catboats, anchored oil
Canarsie to break from their moorings
and drift ashore.
