Blaine received no votes from his own section of the Union, outside of Maine, where he has promised them a million and a quarter of school funds out of the whisky tax, if he is elected President. Where the people have hahdled the man they dispise him. Look at the vote from Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hamp- shire and Rhode Istand, given to men who never expected to be nominated, but hoping thereby to defeat Blaine. But out in Towa, Kansas, Indiana, West Vir- ginia, and in localities where the people don't know him, they went crazy for To us, this thrust at the “Plumed Knight,” means more than can be seen on the surface.’ And a parailel cannot be pointed out in a Conven- tion of either party. There is more in this omen than there is in Puck's unmans tied statute. Why did New England, the home of Blaine, refuse to vote for him at Chicago ? snsmes—————— The Star Route Convention, at its re- cent session at Chicago, sent forth one of the largest, but the most meaningless, set of resolutions as a platform that was ever set forth by any party. The decla- tions are those of a first-class demagogue, and if Blaine wrote or dictated it there is harmony in what has happened. The editor of the New York Sun relieves the reader greatly by giving the documents in a condensed form as follows : The Republican party has not tri- umphed in six successive Presidential elections. The Republican party did not save the Union, The Republican party has not cared a continental for the elevation of labor, The Repablican party has not respond- ed, either quickly or tardily, to the de mand of the people for purity in legisla gy for integrity or accountability in all Departments of the Government. The Republican party is a fraud, and the same old platform lies are made to do service n in this year of grace and hope. : The platform claims that the party has done all that is denied above.

It was composed of leading members of the party, and they appoint ed a committee of 100 to call a conven- tion Blaine on account of his bad record. - The Democrats in congress are doing their duty towards rest ring the lands, in August.

In other words, it is proposed to pro- tect thieves in office against any possible intrusion, and to make a close corpora tion of the rogues who have not yet been caught money in their pockets, This is the sort of civil service reform which the Republicans approve and have put into operation. It is only another phase of the fraud, deception, and trick- ery which that party has employed to keep possession of power. The people are weary of misrule, of shams and of corruption.

I —————— THE CORK OAK. At present we depend for cork upon the countries bordering the Mediterrai- ean. In theso countries the actual ma - ket value of cork is ten times what it wes at the beginning of the century, and it :8 likely to go still higher. In BSardinis, Sicily and Naples, extensive cork plants. tions are being destroyed for the purposs of obtaining the tannin of superior qua - ity yielded by the bark and carbonate of soda from the ashes of the wood. This destruction has been going on for year, while planting has not even replaced the trees destroyed, except in France and ifs African dependency. As long ago 88 1822 the French Government sppropr- ated forty-five hundred francs, whic were to be divided among those whe, planting in 1823, should possess at the expiration of ten years plantations of ten thousand vigorous saplings. In 1334 only three persons had been entitled to the reward. But France has now over five hundred thousand acres of cork plan- tations in Algiers, yielding a considerable revenue to the State. About fifty yews ago the Spanish bggan to encourage the planting of the cork oak, and the pumber of trees in that coungry has increased. This increase would have been greater but for the fact that, while in some prov. inces cork has become the chief source of wealth, in othefl ‘many proprietors de stroyed their trees in order to clear ther ground for more valuable productions. The cork oak grows to the height about fifty feet. In Algeria and in the Spanish provites of Estremadura the die velopment of the tree is somewhat grea’~ The tree reaches a great age. It oor- tinues to grow for one hundred and fifty or two hgdred years, and after its growin it still yields cork, though of an infericr quality. In some parts of Spain it is customary to destroy the tree when ths quality of its cork begins to deterioral. In Europe the tree is met with as high #3 forty-five degrees north, but it needs a In France and in Spain er. warm climate, level of the sea, while in Algeria it occmrs at double that altitude. The tree ean bear & minimum sverage annual tempers. ture of fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit. It prefers land sloping to the southward and pear the sea. Granite lands and slatey, sandy and silicious soils are very nnsuit- able, and it does not take kindly to damp soils. It grows spontaneously in virgia soils where silica or silico-argillaceons compounds abound. Lands suitable for he vine are also suitable for the cork. is AAA AAI EVOLUTION OF THE CORSET, Aslong agoas the days of the Greeks an i lomans a slight, dances figure was ad. mired and stoutness looked upon as a de- formity. Martial ridiculed fat women, and Owid put large waists in the first rank of his remedics against love. Bev. eral means wore ‘ried then, aa now, not only to restrain an expanding figure, but to enhance the beauties of a very slight But they were of a different kind from those with which we are familiar. nandages were worn with the generie name of fascie mamiliares. These consist- ed of the strophium, the cloth worn roun 1 the bosom ; the tents, a simple band be- low, and the mona, or waist-belt. When bandages failed those who valued the beauty of their figures had recourse to a remedy prescribed by Berenus Sammoni- cus. They enveloped their busts with garlands of ivy which were thrown on the fire as soon as withdrawn and after ward rubbed all the upper part of their figures either with goose-fat mixed with warm milk, or with the egg of a patridge. Men were as vain as the women, if we are to believe Aristophanes and other writers. The great comic dramatist mocked his contemporary Cinesias for wearing busks of linden-wood, and Capi- tiolinus, in his biography of the Emperor Anthony, mentions that he also had ro. one. figure. Testimony is conflicting, how- ever. Some contend that the ancien's wore veritablo corsets, arguing that when Homer, in describing Juno's toilet when she wishes to captivite Jupiter, speaks of the two girdles worn around her waist the one bordered with gold fringe, the really describing a Greek corset; and that the egide or cuirass of Minerva which Virgil describes is to be interpreted in the same manner. Bat this view is surely mistaken, for no monument of antiquity, no artistic work, no evidence gleaned stiff unyielding whalebone corsets. ——_— AP ——— Power will intoxicate the best hearts ns wine the strongest heads.

The coverad street at Milan, now well known as the Victor Emmanuel Gallery, is roofed with glass and completed by a large dome, round the interior of which runs a chain of gas lamps. The lighting of these lamps at a considerable elevation used to present some difficulties, and was always a source of risk, until an armange- ment was made for doing the work by electricity. A miniature railway has been constructed close to the gas-burners, on which runs a little electric locomotive carrying a wick steeped in spirits of wine. When it is desired to light the burners this wiok is set on fire, and the locomo- tive started on its career, It flies round, rapidly kindling the circle, and exgiting great interest among the crowds that as- semble nightly to witness the perfor. manoe.
