' t Mr. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, now Minister to France, and Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press, now Minister to Russia, are both coming home to put on the harness editorial again. They are both warm friends of James G. Blaine. Mr. Chauncey M. Depew predicts that within twenty-five years steam as a motive power will be supeiseded by electricity. With the rapid strides now being made in electrical appli cation and inventions, the probabili ties are that this wijl be reached in less time than twenty-five years. Ben Butler admits in his autobi ography that he played the sneak in 1884, and that he did not expect to be elected when he ran for the Presi dency, but hoped thus to defeat Cleveland and elect Blaine. This must be an interesting confession to the New York. .Saw, which supported him. t Mr. Jos. P.

The young Chinese Emperor has orhcially directed the fellows whose business it is to attend to the . rain and such matters to "perform the sacrifices to the spirit of rain. ! thun der, wind and clouds."

Mr Hender son, of the 7th district in this State has previously presented a bill in the House for the same purpose.

VOL. XLIX.-NO. in. One of the most comprehensive and complete works of the kind that we have yet seen is the "Almanac and Political Register" for 1892 issued by the Chicago Daity News. is a book of 397 pages filled with statistical and other information jon political and other subjects which it would be impossible, to find in any other one publication. As a book or reliable and convenient reference it is invaluable. . Prir. 25 It is reported that diplomatic rela tions are to be resumed between Italy and this country. The corre spondence on the New Orleans affair was hung up by the recall of Minis ter Fava, and .now "that the Chilian business is ma. fair way of being wound up. we may - expect Italy to shortly follow up her new Minister with a little bill for indemnity for the Italians killed by the -New Or- eans mob. Maj. Yasuasa Kukushinua is am bitious to win fame by attempting a horse-back ride from Berlin to Corea. It is hard to satisfy the ambition of some men. We should think that a man who monopolizes as much of the alphabet as the Maj. does, had name enough made already. It is proposed to put an electric light on the tallest peak of Mount Washington, which will then be the highest point on the globe thus illuminated. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Jos. D.

People in this part of the "Lord's Vineyard" don't know what a ground hoe is, but all the same they have heard that from time immemorial the "var mint" has made it a custom to come forth from his hole on the 2nd of Feb ruary and cogitate upon the future pros' pects of the weather. ; Tradition has it that if he sees his shadow the little quadruped returns to his retreat "a sad der and wiser hog,'' for such a state of affairs indicates falling weather in the months to come. From all accounts the ground-hog saw his shadow, and "put back" to wait for better prospects. Weatner Forecasts.

New York Bulletin: ' As a rule the impression obtained is that for the pres ent the bulls are discouraged and unable to find anything to brace their position. As a rule reference is made to the ex pansion of the crop movement again, arid it is an important factor, but the comparative narrowness of the outlet is becoming more and more prominent and retains close attention ot the careful watchers of the signs of times. OI spots the record is a little fuller, but generally business rules slow, and iormer quota tions are rather full if anything. Mobile Register: : A. cotton factory epidemic is breaking out in' Alabama. The Sylacauga Land Company has sold out to a crowd of Pittsburgers, and they have reorganized it and arranged to bring down the Pennsylvania Cotton Mill from Allegheny, Pa. It is a very large concern. Birmingham is in the full swing of a movement to establish a mill, with Mr. Frank P. O'Brien, a gen tleman of large means, at the head. An niston is engaged in raising $1,000 bo nus for a 15,000-spindle mill. Talladega has also caught the fever. ' Huntsville- and Piedmont are both completing large factories. The announcement of a 10 per cent, cash semi-annual dividend by the small mill at Prattville has given a great impetus to the idea. It was built some six or seven years ago, and has earned 20 per cent, straight through all seasons. Several other mills of recent c nstruction are almost as prosperous. Naval Stores Receipts. .
