MB, BLAINE.
Mr. Blalre Is fortunate lu more ways
than one. He is rich In money, rich in
talent and hes more assurance than most
any man in pnbliolife. In fact of the lat
ter element be has ah inexhaustible sup
ply. Just now he la actively at work
keeping himself before the public at a
candidate for the Presidency iu 1881.
The ''Washington l'ost" has already come
out for Blaine and It is said that ho has
already struck hands with the editors of
other papers of unre or lots prominence
who will soon pronounce for tbe "plurutd
knight." DUiub believes in the power
of the press and greatly prefer it to con
Tensions. Blaine has money lots of it
aDd he is not afraid to pnt it where it
will do the most good and no man has a
keener scent for a good investment of
this sort than he has.
His original idea was that he would
Bud capital in a general removal from of
fice by Arthur. He wanted to be perse
cuted. He longed to pose as a martyr.
But the President with comendable judg
ment declined to gratify him. He then
turned bis attention to picking a quarrel
with the Administration meaning to force
light at any cost. He found the oppor
tunity iu his successor's course in revok
ing instructions which he (Blaine) had
given to Mr. Trcscott on bis departure
for Chili and Peru. This was sufficient
cause- for him to sound the tocsin of war
and gather around his council tablo th?
belligerent class, who only awaited some
chieftain's Invitation to tail in and make
it warm for the stalwart President and
his sUlwart office-holders.
But the struggle has not fairly begnu
yet. The President's slow easy going
pace is hard to match and most provok
ing in its regularity. Blaine would be
more at home and far happier in a fight
with a man of more impetuous tempera.
ment than Arthur, but still he may get
fight enough out of him beforo he gits
through with it.

al matters thus fulling is often very con
siderable. In 1511 a shower of many
hundred stoues occurred in Cremft, one
of tbe pieces weighing 260 pounds and
auolhtr 120. On the west coast of Green
land were found the largest nnbroken
masses on record, and the largest sped'
men, weighing 25 tons, Is now in the-
Uoyal Academy of Stockholm. A well
founded estimate places the number of
aerolites which reach tbe earth annually
at 5,000 ot least. It is probable that in
early geological ages the fall was much
greater tbnn now. It has oontinued year
after year through a vast lapse of time
furnishing good grounds for the extend
ing belief l hat the earth has derived ma
terial additions to its substance from the
accumulation of meteoric matter.
A Weill finds ibedtony of teeth to
be caused by the divelopment of a fun

mote decay, but cannot give rise to it.
He concludes further that diseases of
various parts of tbe body may be clearly
traced to execrations from the mouth and

-Cases of dlphtherU arc reported by
a medical authority to have resulted from

peared, when the chlldreu hlei-ptng iu tbe

From observations of tbe diffusion of
sunlight by clouds, M. Cletnandot was
Induced to experiment wilh mineral wool,
or spun slag, iu order to ascertain its ef
fect upon the light of the electrlo arc.
He has found that when the rays pass
through this substance, seventy-five or
eighty per ceut. of tba light becomes
available for illumination; while tbe or
dinary processes make useful not more
than forty-five cr fifty per cent.
Transits of Venus across tbe face of
the sun buvi been t-iuplnyed by astrono
mers to determine the sun's distance from
the earth. These transit!- ncur at altern
ate intervals of 8 and 121 J and 8 and 1051
years. Tho transits of 17C1, 17C9 and
1871 were observed with great care from
various parts of the world. TJie transit
ot J871 especially was n matter of great
interest and attention, as it was hoped
that the errors from previous observations
might be corrected. Observing parties
wire sent out by ruauy couutrits, and
improved means of investigation nota
bly photography were employed. Re
sults have not yet been given iu full, but
as nearly as can at present be judged tbe
distance of the sun is about 92,000,000
miles. The next transit of Vei us will
occur Dec. 0th of the present year, and
will be the last for nearly a century nud
a quarter. The occurrence of this phe
nomenon will form tbe astronomical
event of the ynx. Already cbseiving
expeditions nro being organized in vari
ions parts of tbe world, and localities for
observing stations are being selected.
Bad weather interfered seriously in 1874,
and stations will be chosen with Bpecial

the incidents of thenfiray.and going over
the testimony of Messrs. Barton, Conger
and others, tt becomes evident that A.
II. Soteldo was wonnded by a bullet from
the pistol of A. O. Soteldo Intended for
Mr. Barton. At a late hour last night
Mr. Barton said that after the brief con
versation which preceded ths ahoollbg,
A. M. BoteldO struck bfm a violent blow
in the face, no instantly grappled with
Soterde-, when there was a flash from a
pistol almost in contact with his face and
he felt a stinging sensation on tbe side of

From tbo instant the firing began np to

Congress has been in session two
months. There has been an immense
amount of talk and never in the hiblory
of tbe House has snch'a flood of bills been
poured in. But talk is cheap and most
of the bills aro still cheaper. Tl e actual
amount of work accomplished is very
small. Both Houses sre far behiud-band
aud are evidently preparing to extend the
session far into the summer. There has
been ample time to pass several appro
priation bills, but tbe committees have
not hurried themselves. The pension de-
ficleiicy bill, appropriating $540,000, is
tbe only one that has been signed by the
President. The fortifications bill.calling
for $375,000 has got through the House,
but not through tbeSenate. The Consu
lar and Diplomatic bill has been reported
aud tho appropr'ations for tbe Post Office
Department aro under discussion. Tbo
other appropriation bills are in process of
preparation. The river and harbor bill,
in which every member has an interest,
it is announced will not be ready before
the 1st of April. The outlook for the
speedy termination of the necessary work
is anything but i ncouiaging. The most
important piece of legislation, next tn tbe
appropriations, is the Sherman funding
bill, which has passed the Senate. The
amount of time that the House will con-
snmo iu its discusslou can only be con-
jec'ured. Nothing else of importance has
been dor e in either branch except tbe
passage on Moudiy, iu the House, of tbe
bill disqualify ingpolygamists from mem

other duties, mentions .that she now has
over five hundred nnreturned calls.
Speaker Keiftr's wife has, I think, bad
more calls on lach reception day than

Severn bas become convinced that sugar
acts powerfully In aiding digestion, and
he freely prescribes Its use In cases of
dyspepsia. From tba&e experiments he
draws tba practical lesson that the infus

Washington. D. C. Feb. II, 1S82.
The newspapers iu all parts of the
country are asking what has become of
tbe star .-onte prosecutions. Ttiey do not
refer to the petty straw bond cases, but
to those which, -it was so repeatedly
charged, involved thousands of dollars
illegally taken from the government The
prosecution on more thau one occasion
declared in most positive terms that it
possessed evidence sufficient to establish
its accusations and convict the accused.
First one excuse and then another has
been oif-red for the delay, and now the
people of the country simply want to
know whether tbe charges of tbe prose
cution or the counter-charges of the de-
feupe are trne. The accused maintain
that these cases have been kept in exist
euce nud the public interest iu them kept
alive in order that certain persons might
continue to draw pay for snppposed ser
vices from the natioual treasury. If any
thing is ever done ith tbe cases there is
no reason apparent to outsiders why tbe
prosecution shonld not go on now. The
Qnitean case is out of tbe way and the
courts cm give their attention to the al
leged star ronte ring.
Interest iu the convicted and condemn
ed Guiteau seems to have waned conoid
ernbly nud no further attention is paid to
bis movements except by bis relatives
and counsel. His brother John paid bim
a farewell visit this miming, preparatory
to I.'avicg for Boston to attend to bis
business. Bun after bia brother had lelt
he sent for n tailor to come and measure
him for a new suit o! clothes, and also
ordered a new hut, which was furnished
him. He paid for his orders out of tbe
money derived from tbo sile of his auto
graphs and, when asked what he wanted
with new clothes, said he did not expect
to remain long after tbe Court in Banc
met and wanted to make a good appear

garded as an u'lempt at bragging for tbe
appearanceof the prisoner certainly belies
his assertion.
The injustice of the pending apportion
ment bill and of the methods ou which
it is based has become so apparent that it
is virtually dead already. The bill was
baited to catch tbe votes of the large state
delegations: but to trie credit of tbe
members from tba next populous states,
it can be said that they refusal to ac
cept au increase of representation ar
bltrarily taken Irom tbe smaller and
weaker state. It is evident tbat the
nouse will condemn the "Sea ton meth
od" of apportionment and adopt tbe old
plan of allotiug tbe representation as
ueiuly equal as possible iu proportion to
population.
Cul. Seaton,.snpriutendentof the cen
sus thinks tbat it will be between eight
aud twelve mouths before tbe census work
is completed. Tbe printed reports will
be very voluminous. There will be about
20,000 pa'ges of them, divided of course
into volumes. The proportion of discus
sion to tabulated forms will be very much
larger than in any previous work oftbe

while the latter is severely wouuded in

Washington, Feb. 13, 1882.
It is clear that the enemies of Mr,
Blaine have not yet succeeded iu pntting
bim at a disadvantage. The spectacle of
a retiring Secretary of State hurling open
letters at the President accusing him of
vacillation and blundering iu the foreign
policy of tho Nation, is sufficiently novel
to attract attention. Mr. Blaine's posi
tion is not out) plausible but calculated
to be popular if the public- mind becomes
interested in the subject It is a fact that
our foreign policy has deterk rated to a
farce. We have bad none since tho days
of that harmless jelly-Fish, whoso notion
of American dignity was confined to the
proper adjustment of letters of passport,
and who bad no conception of tbo growth
and power and force of the United States
in tho diplomacy oftbe world.
The advent of Mr. Blaine on the scene
in the high capacity of diplomat was no
tice served that the spinal column of tbe
Government was about to be stiflVued,
and it was stiffened with a vigor which
recalled the palmy days of Jay and Web
ster and Buchanan. Some people sup
pose it is tbe proper policy of a powerful
nation to wink at all manner of indigni
ties to wnicn ten-cent governments pro
pose to subject It and Its representatives,
nd tbat conservatism means nothing
more or less than an nbjt-ct willingness to
be peaceful at any cost. By publishing
the text of bis dispatch proposing n peace
congress of American powers, and by his
Utter to President Arthur, Mr. Blaine
has toppled down a structure of misrep
resentation, the rearing of which coat its
authors several weeks of laborious falsifi
cation. I nm not going tn champion the
side of tbe cx-Sf crctary but I can see
through the attacks tbat have been made
pon his diplomatic career. The bus!
ness'of belittling and maligning one of
the ablest aud most popular statesmen of
our time is at best n poor one, but it be
comes what insurance men call "extra
hazardous" when it is practiced npoa a
man of Mr- Blaine's fighting capacity,
Some of the bills for tbe Yorktown
celebration are beginning to turn np,and
tike nearly all bills for entertainments of
that sort they are qnite curious. One of
tbe Items regarded aa r- markable is a
charge of twenty five dollars for water
fnrnlsbed an official party from Washing
ton. It is said to be tbe first time a pari;
of that sort has us id water. Water, how-
ever, was not all tbat was drink, for there
are several charges for wines, araonating
to thousands of dollars.aud other charges
for things called entertainments, under
wbich disguise u great deal of wine was
paid for. It was the boast of one who
attended at tl.P Government expense tbat
Ibe boat on which he traveled was literal
lv swimming in champagne. It is, even
at this latei day, rather a comfort to know
that somebody bad some! fnd at York,
town, even though the Government bas
to nav the bill. About the time the af
fair came off it wasn t 'fata to say lorn-

piece of jobbery for tbe Reading Railroad
down tbo throat of the House, was de
feated by the crushing vote of 108 to 45.
All these facts qccurring within a few

We aro glad to announce that the iSci'en
tljia American came out of the late fire in
New York, like the fabled Pho9iilx,with re
newed life. The subscription lists, account
book:, patent records, patent drawings, and
correspondence were preserved in niasiive
fire proof safes. The printing nfthe&ien
tific American and Suppltmtvt was done in
another building; consequently the types,
plates, presses, paper, etc., ware uuharmed,
and no Interruption in business was occa
sioned.
' The new Scientific American offices sre
located at 2ttl Broadway, corner of Warren
Street, a very central and excellent situa
tion. Tao new building fronts towards tba
Cily Hall, tbo Court House, and the new
