 From the foregoing the people and voters can see that there is an equally Imposing array of solid taxpayers upon the side of the party of progress. Mr.
 Gebler, Captain Mix aud Mir. Brick wood certainly show up very respecta- bly,. In fact Mir. Gebler is the largest individual taxpayer in the town. There are others who pay larger sums; but in all instances they are firms or corporations. For instance Proto Brothers are taxed s6969, and Jos. Pascho,y x Co.,, paid S5l.60. But in either instance the amount was paid by firm, of which the holding of the individual is part only. Mir. Gebler's individual assessment, without any partner or corporation tO share, amounts to s45.9O. Individually Mir. Marsh paid but BPS l5; but when there is taken into consideration that tax, and the taxes of Marsh & Main and Mir. Main he represents tax of S96.47 By Jumping his own interests, and those of his bushes associates, Captain Mix represents S97 2S, leading Mir. Marsh by six bits, lacking one cent. So the contention that Mr. Marsh is the largest taxpayer in the town falls to the ground. The largest taxpayer, Captain Mix, is a candidate on the other ticket, and be leads MT. Marsh by the enormous sum of seventy-fullr cents.

There is more cstarrh ir this section of the country than all other diseases put to- gether. and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced 1t a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.

HE'S A LOBSTER.
An Expression Now Popular That
A, Originated in jerseys ALL
t Winter Race Tracks,

The expression "he's lobster" which
has become SC general in colloquial use
about town as to convey a clear-cut
message of contempt or derision, has
a somewhat peculiar origin, says. the
New York Sun. There is nothing about
lobster, which the elder Dumas, it
may be recalled, described as 1.-The car
dinal of the sea-" to invite derision;
but few years ago when all winter
racing was a customary thing in the
vicinity of New York, especially in
neighboring New Jersey, a mud horse
that failed to realize the expectations
OF those who bet money upon it was
called a "lobster,' an allusion to it's
mode of progression. Horses which had
been generally defeated were lobster
horses, and as this colloquiaI express
sion get to be more general in use on
The race tracks, it began to be applied
not only to horses but to men and
things as well. A lobster car was car
that made slow time; a lobster boat
was a boat in which rapid time could
not be expected. A lobster calculate
was man who took too long, in the
Judgment Of his CRITICS. to add up an
account. and so gradually the name lob
ster has come to be accepted as desig-
nation of sloth or inferionty and 'he's
a lobster has come to be regarded as
phrase of disapproval. +. vv, Il.

Exploration Party Discovers New
Wonders on the Island.
A scientific exploration party in
charge of Prof, Agassiz recently paid a
visit to the Fiji islands, making some
discoveries of much general interest,
reports the Japan Gazette. At Maram-
DO they located an extinct volcano, open
on the north side. Dotted over the sur
face of the water in the crater were
numerous mushroom-sRaped rocks, and
the water itself in the light Of burn
ing sun revealed to the visitors hitherto
unknown beauties of color. At Toloya
a crater of an extinct volcano was
found, into which the steamer could
enter and sail around. Here, as in other
places, the visitors were entertained
with s'miki, miki," which seems to be
something in the nature Of a corro-
boree. :. 49,.
In the various lagoons visited dredg-
ing was resorted to for the purpose Of
securing specimens of coral and marine
animalcule On the rocks at the base
of the Solos lighthouse, near the North
Astrolabe reefs, at Kandava island, two
sea snakes were caught by Capt.
Thompson, who saw no less than ten
of them in as many minutes.
The capture Of several live speci-
mems of bulolo, or coral worms. APP
peared to have caused much gratifca-
ton to the searchers, who, aided by the
natives in canoes, discovered them in
thousands. The worm is said to dis
solve after being about two hours on the
surface. When the results Of Prof.
Agassiz's Investigations are made pub
lie they will, doubtless, provide much
interesting and valuable information.

MODERN . |: Fl SCIENCE.
Predictions for the Twentieth Uel,
fury Are Broad.

Predictions for the Twentieth Ceaa-
tnry Are broad.
It may be that we are, with respect to
the coming century, in the same imma-
ture mental condit ton il which the peo-
pie of the eighteenth century were with
regard to the ninet eenth, says the Pop
sllar Science Monthly. IF some one in
the preceding century had dared to pre-
dict the wonderful achievements of the
nineteenth, he would probably have
been declared a fool, and treated as
was Robert Mayer, in Germany, in this
century, who, after the discovery of the
law of the conservation of force, was
put into an insane asylum. A like fate
might befall the man who should dare
now to cast a horoscope for the TWEEN
tieth century, and to predict the prog
ress of the human mind in the various
domains OF scientific research. After
all, those may be right who, in spite of
all those acquisitions on which we SO
justly pride ourselves, are of opinion
that we are still moving in only the
initial steps, in the leading strings Of
evolution, and that we are yet very far
from the goal Of those material and
ideal aims which the human race in it's
unremitting onward struggle is des-
tined to attain, or to show it's capacity
of attaining. The great Sir Isaac New
ton used, perhaps, the most appropriate
smile when he compared men with
children who on the seashore are pick
ing up here and there curious pebble
CT colored shell while the greatsea of
truth lies still unexplored before them.
We can only conjecture as to the prob
able progress, as we cannot know which
position we occupy in the course of hu-
man evolution, whether we are still in
its beginnings or well advanced. This
lies hidden in the bosom of the future
