Maj. Stedman speaks in glowing terms of the Democratic pros pects this year. He says tkat the enthu siasm for the ticket, everywhere that he his been, is not only intense but immense, and what would have seemed a few months ago as almost fabulous majorities are now gravely predicted. Gen. Han cock, he says, fully merits the title of 'su perb as he is one of the most magnlficient specimens I of physical manhood be has ever fieen and the magnetism of his res ence is such that a look or a smile from him is enough to make a man his friend for life.

Tba most rough aud ready tway that has been employed fur ascertaining whe ther or not water is polluted with organ ic matter is to partly fill a clean bottle with a sample oNt, and then having violently shaken the same.! to take a hearty sniff of the air of the bottle which has b eu agitated with the wa'.er. If tl e air smells sweet and fresh Jthe'ab3.nee of an injurious Amount of organic matter :s i far red, and vice versa. It is vry easy thus to distinguish between river water and spring water, and a very impure A s ter which may exhibit no fault to tno ee my frequently disclose to the olfactory nerves the fact of its pollution. If no smell is observt d in this manner, some may be observed on gently warming the water, and if not then, the addition cf a few grains ef caustic potash may render it apparent.
