HARRISON’S RECORD.

Albany Argus; Her* are the plain facts in the record of Ben Harrison on the question of imported Chinese la* bor, and the plaoe in the offioial record where any one can verify them who chooses to do so. The Co gres* sional Beeetd is on file in th« State Library, and any oae is admitted between nine ▲. If. aid four P. M. The Record does not show that ta even one lastanee, during hia six years’ service iu the United States B«nate, Harrison voted to prohibit Chinese immigration; 1. Harrison voted in favor ot the Hoar amendment to admit skilled hinese labor to this country, See Congressional Reoord, March Bth, *B2, Vol. 13, part 2, page 1716. 2. Harrison voted; in favor of the Hoar amendment to admit Chinese artisans to this eountry. See Record same as aoove 3. Harrison "dodged” the vote on the final passage of ihe bill. See page 1' 53, as above. 4. Harrison voted for John Sher«* man’s motion to commit the bill pro hibiting Chinese immigration and the veto to the Committee on Forelgu Affair ,to smother it. See Congressional Reoord, VoL 13, part 3, page 2616. 5. Harrison voted against the mo* tion to pass the bill over the yeto.— See page 2617, as above. 6. Harrison voted to strike out the seotion in the ten-year bill, which prohibited the admission of Chinese to full citizenship; See Congressional Record, Vol. 13, part 4, pages 8262-8. 7. Harrison voted to strike out tbe sec ion which prohibited the admission of Chinese skilled laborers, and his vote oarried that amendment— See page 3234, as above. 8. Harrison voted against restoring the seotion whioh had been strieken out. See pages 3410-11. as above. 9. Harrison voted for the Edmunds amendment to exclude only Chinese engaged in manual laber. and admit skilled Chinese artisans. See pages 3411-12, as above. 10. Harrison voted against the bill to prohibit Chinese immigration for ten years, whioh President Arthur signed. Hee page 3412, as above 11. Harrison "dodged” the vote on tbe bill to enforce more strictly the law of IBBz against Chinese immigration. See Congressional Reoord. Vol. 15. part 5, page 5988, July 3d, 884. 12. The Congressional Reoord June Ist, 18*6 does not give ihe vote by which the last bill on the subject was passed. Thus those who opposed the legislation escaped going on record. This, we believe, is the complete record ol Mr. Harrison's action on the subject of Chinese labor during his six years’ term in the Senate. We find no reoord of any vote of his against Chinese immigration. We find two votes ho dodged, one vote he cast for admlttlnt Chinese to 3itizenship and eight votes against d<f* ferent propositions to exclude CM. □ese labor from .this country. If there were any other recorded faots, Republican papers would have presented them, citing the page of the Record. Ben Harrison is a great “protector of American labor.” Of cours- all Republican candidates always are about election time.

What Monopoly Tariff Does for Labor.

New York Daily Graphic: Through reports gathered from over oae hundred of the chief manufacturing towns of the eountry the National Labor Bureau at Washington have ascer* tained that the average yearly earnings of American worxingmen have been of late not more than twe hundred dollars. Just think es it, ye howling advocates of war taxes for the workingmen. Two hun ired dollars a year in this era of boasted protection to the workers of this land is all they can earn

CURIOSITIES OF NATURE.

W* Jumping Gall, the Acrobatic Bean, and Seeds that Explode. “Here is a ouriosifcy," said a botanist. It was a little ball of wood or fiber that when held in the palm seemed endowed with life, rolling over and over and flying into the air. “I’ve had people come to me with these,” oontinued the speaker, "and say they were bewitched. One man holier ed he had discovered spontaneous generation; another wrote an exhaustive paper whioh he tried to read at all thtf learned societies, showing that here was the beginning of both animal and plant Hfe. In fact, the little gall, for that is what it is, has attracted a good deal of attention.” “So it is only a plant,” said a reporter. "Not exaotly a plant, but the unnatural growth of vegetable matter on trees, bushes, or shrubs, caused by the secretion in the bark of an insect egg that hatches and causes the growth. In this- case, you see, the gall is little larger than a mustard seed. “The gall is produced in this way : The eggs of a very small insect, known as cynips, are deposited in the leaf, and, from some secretion introduced into tlio wound, the vegetable matter entombs the inseot in a ball of fiber separate from the leaf, from which it finally drops. The larva’* movements in restraint create the ourious activity. “There are many kinds of galls, and though they are injurious to trees they are invaluable to man, and are staple commodities. The ordinary oak galls of commerce are made by a oynips. When they are green, blue, or black, the inseot is in them, but when white it has escaped. England is the oenter of the trade, and receives galls from Germany, Turkey, Egypt, China, and Bombay. The galls are used for a variety of purposes. One sort of blasting powder is made of powdered galls and chlorate, but the most valuable product is ink. This is made from thetn almost entirely. “Seeds often jump about in the same mysterious way. In Mexico stranger* see a curious seed known as devil’s bean, or jumping seed. In appearance it is a small triangular body. The first time I saw these seeds I was sure that they were arranged with mechanical springs, as they not only rolled about, but jumped several inches in the air. But open one of the seeds and the mystery is explained. The shell is hollowed out, containing nothing but a white larva, that has eaten out nearly all the interior and lined it with «11t- Its motions occasion the strange movements. “Borne seeds move by an entirely different process—that of exploding. Jk friend of mine got some seeds in India once, and placed them on his cabin table, All at once came an explosion like that of a revolver, and he reoeived a blow on the forehead that drew blood, while a looking glass opposite was shattered. The seeds had become heated, and all at once the covering exploded, scattering the seeds in all directions. That is their manner of dispersal, and a large number of plants have a similar method of scatteriaj their seed.”— New York Sun.

A Correspondence University.

A number of teachers from different parte of the country 'have formed organization with the above title, with a vievr to keeping up their studies, so aa net to faH behind the knowledge of their day. These instructors are graduates of all the leading colleges in tfeb tJnited States. Students have found that after leaving the colleges from which they graduated, they quickly lose the power of concentrating thenr faculties m pursuing new branches ol study. The value of an education is the power it gives one to acquire almost %ny kind of knowledge by close, mental application. The object of the correspondence university is' to stimulate them to methodical study, when thefcr evocations are such as might distract them from continuous intellectual workit is intended to directly benefit thosp engaged in professional studies which oan be taught by correspondence; graduates doing advanced work: unde*teaohers in sohools and colleges; those preparing for collage; members of cultivated families who are obliged to lity in remote localities; officers and mdi in the army and navy: persons intending to try any of the civil service examinations ; young men and women engaged in occupations which prevent their attending school, and yet Who deaixe to learn.
