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.

This is the sort of civil service reform

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

bandages failed those who valued the
beauty of their figures had recourse to a
remedy prescribed by Berenus Sammoni-

garlands of ivy which were thrown on
the fire as soon as withdrawn and after

warm milk, or with the egg of a patridge.

Homer, in describing Juno's toilet when

A COVERED STREET.
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.
