THE DAILY NEWS. . FBI1>AT, DECEMBBR t9. Iff*. Tmf weather boom appears to be the largest and most successful of any. Thb great military powers hare at their disposal, in all about 13,000,000 men who Jure learned or are learning the Midler’s trade. Thu people of Maine ought to be able to punish their thieves and protect their rights without interference boa Washington.— [Cincinnati Gazette. The true doctrine. Let it be adhered to. The floed of geld to this country seems to be about over. The last vessel bringing any,carried only $193,000, aad daring this month only $6,801,832 has come, which is about the amount that came in August when the influx begun. Since then a total ol $74,898,011 has come,the largest amount in any one month being over $27,000,000 in September. _ This solution of the Maine problem that is the most credited at Washington now is the dual legislature plan. The republic ins it is said, will organize a legislature with mefnbers elected, by the people, and proceed to direct the affairs of the state, relying for support upon the people, who will, they think recognise them in preference to the democratic legislature. It looks as if the democrats of Maine were determined to pursue their headlong osurse. The attempt, on the alleged authority of the Governor, to remove arms from the arsenal at Bangor and send them to Augusta, was certainly an unwise thing. The democrats claim they have acted in this case strictly according to law. They ought not then to fear to rest their case on the law. To begin by attempting to collect rifles and ball-cartridge “gives them away,” to use slang. It wears the appearance of being afraid to, trust to the decision of a law-abiding community to settle their case lawfully and justly. Responsiblewneu of whatever party should discountenance all such proceedings and save themselves and their state the disgrace that will Icome upon them, if the course is portued which is apparently decided f upon ■ by Governor Garcelon who, whether or not he is the principal, has certainly been the active agent in all this mischief from the beginning. (, Hon. Will Cambsck hu resigned hit petition M the national republican committee, and Hon. John C. New ha* been appointed in hiaplace.

Mr. New only holds bis proxy, while Mr. Cumback still holds his revenue office, th« membership on the committee, delivers daily lectures, and keeps an eye oa the republican nomination for governor.—{'Journal. Mr. Cumback resigned as a member ef the national committee because of executive order N* 1. The resiirnatien could not be acted upon until the committee met. Being still a member, bat not wishing to participate in its labors, Mr. Oarabaek gave his prexy to John 0. New, chairman of the state central committee, That Indiana might be represented en the committee. Th* hired min ef the Journal procured himself to be reeominvaded for the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Cumback, if it should be sccepted> and he thought Mr. O. shoald have mode him hu proxy. But he had already given th* proxy to Mr. Jew, and did not think it worth while to withdraw it. When the committee met they declined to accept Mr. Cumback’* resignation, as they did the resignation* ol several ether members, tendered upon the taine grounds. Hence there was no vacancy. Hence the Journal man did not get a place on the national committee. Renee these tears. "" ri nl The November exports aad imports at New York and tke same movement for the •leven months from January 1 ahow steady increase. For the three months of the year the value of the imports was $378,508,226, nearly one-fourth more than in eleven months of 1877, and more than onethird more than thoee in 1878 for a corresponding period. Specie and free goods however have figured largely In the imports, and the valueof the merchandise imported is only about 10 per cent, greater than that imported for eleveu months in 1878. The exports excluding specie ore in value most exactly the saip* as last year, in 1879, eleven months $322,369,002, in 1878 same time $322,202,298. The value this year is about one-fifth larger than in 1877. There is a tendency toward an increase in imports, while the experts remain about stationary. Thus, in November the value of exports, $30,083,766, is scarcely $1,000,000 in excess of last year and the year before, while th* valae of imports, $51,493,797, of which $18,944,262 is specie, i* twice the value of the imports in the same months in’77 and 78. It might appear from this that we had nearly come to the turn of the tide, where increased

prosperity at home had made increased demands; the desire for foreign products asserts itaell and so the flood of gold "tT to ge out of the country. It emphasises the importance of anchoring our currency to gold now. Philadblpkia papers generally give credence to the report, which The New* chroicled at the time, that the leading republican elements as embodied in factions for different candidates had been crystalized, and henceforth, quietly and without any formality, Grant was to be th* one candidate for the president The various state conventions of the party will as they meet instruct the notional delegates to vote for Grant first, last and all the time. Sherman is to remain in the treasury, and the meeting of Hayes And Grant ostensibly a social one, is really for th# purpose of pledging the administration’s suppart to the great third-termer. Conkling is to have his grip upon New York patronage renewel, and thus all candidates are placated except Blaine, who is left out in th* cold. What foundation there is for this program, which is given with considerable detail by the Philadelphia Record, does not appear, but the essential “thinness” of it does appear. Secretary Sherman kicked over the part referring to him by telling to the New York Herald, the other day, that he stood just where he always did, and was opposed to a third term. It has been said for Mr. Hayes that he is like-minded with Sherman on this, though it has also been said for him that he favored a third term. The part of the play that leaves Blaine eut in the cold is also rather ludicrous. Just now events in Maine are making Mr. Blaine the center ef a good deal of observation, and before he gets threugh he may shew the country that there is more than one strong man in it. The Evansville Courier extracts comfort from The News’s comment, to the effect that there was a far greater differenee between a hard and a soft money democrat or a hard or soft money republican than between a hard money war democrat and a hard money republican, and thereupon avowing its belief in “a paper currency made receivable by law for all debts, public and private,” which it frankly calls “extreme views.” It announces its willingness to let things remain as they ore, but serves notice that “if the Bayard resolution should he passed, nothing can prevent open revolt in the ranks of both the eld parties and the division of the people en the financial issue alone in 1880.” With doe deference to the weight of our contemporary’s opinion and with no doubt of its honesty, we think It is as far from the facts in this as it in its characterization of Bayard’s bill as “an attempt te steal three hundred and forty-six millions of the people’s money from the channels of trade.” If party, necessity makes it plain that Bayard’s bill must pass, and tke question of carrying New York and Connecticut may demonstrate that necessity, then soft-money democrats will vote for candidates standing on a platform of which the Bayard doctrine is one of the planks, and the Courier will urge them to do it. The same remarks apply to soft-money republicans. There will be a party division, if any, on this legal tender question, aa there was on the silver question, for the time simply, and after that affiliation with old party surroundings. A letter, December 21, from Goldsboro, Worth Carolina, to the New York Herald, Bays: “This is conspicuously th* exodus section. Within the past month between four hundred and five hundred negroes—men, women and children—hare left the surrounding country for Indiana.” Jut now them is a lull, the letter says, bit that several thousand negroes in that district arc ready to leave, regardless of oonsequenoes, if their expenses are paid. The "Indiana scheme,” as the letter terms it, was begun there some months ago; and to quote: Appear* to b*T* keen inspired by *n* Langsdule, th* editor of the Qreencuile (In*.) Banner,* republican newspaper. Lsngsdale had proclaimed that he would furnish home* to colored emigrant* in Indiana, and his paper seeius to bars fallen Int i the hands *f a notorious negro named Sam Perry, wko taught a fret* school at LaipraD^r, about tweiira •ilea from Goldsboro. Perry associated with his* a uegr* preacher named Williams, and they'aoon succeeded In producing an exodus ferer among the negroes, and it is said that by levying fees they made the excitement a source ol handsome protit: Meetings were held in various sections, and inflammatory speeches were made by Perry and others. Indiana was pictured as u perfect paradise for *olor*U •migrant*. They wore promised plenty of w*rk and wage*-from 914 to HO par month and board-good schools with th* whites, and lands at from 91 w 99 aa acre. Together with this their wrongs were dwAr* ip*n, their fears, passions and prsjudicei appealed to, a dark future painted for them II they remained in the tor-heel state, and •gents are still at work among them. The letter further says that the white peeple of th* state and the better class of the negroes, deplore th* exodus, but that aothiag seems to oail a halt. The letter farther says: All admit that they art being treated well in North Carolina and that their condition has very much improved within • few years. Earg* numbers own houses uud lata, and not a few own valuable tarma. 1 he negroes are perfectly secure in tneir civil rights, and, while some of th* whltHi may have prejadioe*, th* more Intolllgsut masse* form a strom conservative element, and th*nwro is sore of protection. The slate has provided the same educational facilities for th* oolered as for the whit* children, th* rucea being separately educated. Th* colored schools generally ar* wall patronised, even by adults, and the children make rapid progress. Pennsylvania republicans will convene in February 12 of next year when they intend to announce to the world, the size and style of the Grant boom. The New York Tribune tells another story, or rather, its interview with an intelligent mulatto from North Carolina, C. A. Scott, u carpenter, does. In answer to the question “What is th* matter with North Carolina? ’ he said: “Wall, w* have no chanoe in the world, tad the colored people are getting desperate. I believe there are more Idl* colored men in Goldsboro today than there are In Washington. Tou tell them to go In the country and work on farms, and they will tell you you don't know what you are talking •bout. They *ay: ‘W* have been free 6fteen y«ai* and w* are not It to appear on the street in daylight.’ They say: 'W* have been cheated out of oar wane; we don’t know how It is, hut when the year Is up we have nothing, and when we ooms to town we have to bold our hands before tu to hid* our nakednsa*. We might as well be vagabonds fn town where wa can now and then pick up an odd Job,3m to work nights and days and Sundays aad get nothing (ar it.’ ” He then told of “the Dinners’ tenant act,” which be laid prohibits the renter from using anything at all from a farm until the rent is paid. If he does, it is a penitentiary aim*. Farmers there can’t get anything for their crop* until Christmas. They can't even pick a pea without getting the

written consent of the owner of the land; so they have to live all th* year in debt. To the question, how the negroes first thought ol going to Indiana, Scott said:

down the Mississippi te Kansas, and we began to think of going too. Bo we wrote te Kansas, te Qevenior St. John, and he ssnt us tmek a mau aad told us th* prlc* of land, and told us ther* was Work enough for a great many p«opl*. He said that wages were paid In money. ft£w* called a meeting and got tome more msp*. I wrote and got •aventy of them myself.

I was never so well treated in my life m In Indiana.’’

COUfKHT COMMENT.

The business boom is abroad in the South. Last Saturday New Orleans shipped $3,000,000 worth of products. The Picayune of Sunday s&ys: “The clearances at the New Orleans eastern house yesterday were the largeat in the hUtory of tr>e city. A fleet ef fifteen vessels having completed their cargoes, then filed their manifests iu th* granite building. This argosy take* away 46,300 bales of cotton and nearly 100,000 busheia of graio, besides large quantities of other merehaedise. It embraced no less than eight steamship*. They ere boend for the Mediterranean sea, the Germau Ocean, the English channel, the Caribbean sea and the North Allan lie.” Afternoon parties, coiled “kettle drums” are' again in vogul this season as they have been for the past two er three years ^mong the fasbionsble society people of the eastern cities. “Hayden’ it is noticed as an unfortunate name, or the name of unfortunate men. Daring the three months that the trial of Rev. Hayden for the murder of his supposed paramour in Connecticut bos continued, another man of th* same name was tried in Massachusetts for poisoning his sister. In the same timu thu supreme court of Vermont passed upon the appealed case of another Hayden who was tried for wife-mmrder, the presumed motive being to render himself free to marj-y a paramour. Three murder cases, the victim a woman in each case.

The practical test of the workings of the silver bill could hardly be made anywhere else with as little difficulty as In the city of Washington itself, and the teat might properly be applied, first of all, to those persons who are immediately responsible for the con-' tinnance of the coinage of silver. They have deemed it desirable to compel the treasurer to heap np two millions a month of silver dollars, and it is fair that they should afford, in their own persons, some outlet for the uso of a currency they thus created.—[New York Tribune. Gen. Grant is wise to conceal that he wants a third term. There are millions of quiet people in this country who will give him some of God’s truth hissing hot when he runs up his flag for a permauent presidency. —[Cincinnati Commercial. We need hardly say that a government where the intentions of the majority of the voters is thwarted by base maneuvers is not a republic. It may hare all the outward forma .and features by which a republican type of government is known, but the spirit that gives life to these has departed, and by degrees the exterior will be brought into conformity to the inward essence, whatever that may be. Whether we are or are not on the road toward such a change, the next few years will very plainly show.—[Boston Herald. The signs are unmistakable that General Grant can never receive another presidential nomination at the hands of a repnblican convention without first encouraging an organized and determined opposition which would he fatal to hie cordial and united support by the masses in 1880. T ’o classes of people are still clamorous for Grant. One class includes the traders in pclitics who hope to see in feis return to the White house a return of their day of harvest so rudely interrupted. The other and larger class includes the army of moral cowards, the timid folks who are still; oppressed by the nightmare of the civil war, and who think Grant is needed at Washington to repel some imaginary attack upon the capital which only he can conquer. It will be a sad day for the United State? when a combination of these two classes can boast that it has dictated the goverumeat of the nation.—[Utica, N. Y, Herald, rep.

EDIbON AND ms WORK. What he has Dose While Finding the Kleetrie Light. [New York Herald.] Daring this period Edison found 'time to make otber inventions. A sextuplex telegraph, or apparatus for sending six messages on one telegraph wire in opposite direction simultaneously, saw life daring the progres of the electric light, patents for the same having only just been issued. Several new and important improvements in hU chalk telephone, by which the efficiency of that invention is greatly increased, also attest his industry,and versatility of genius. toBut perhaps the latter quality is more strikingly exhibited in his polyform or preimration by which he is enabled to bid defiance to sick headache, neuralgia and other nervous diseases, and to make himself largely independent of physicians in times of ailment. The polyform grew out of necessity. Being considerably ahlicted with neuralgia, and obtaining no relief from his physician, Edison set about becoming his own doctor. His chemical laboratory, one of the most complete in the United States, furnished him an ample field from which to draw. Experiment followed experiment, the inventor becomiag mere determined in proportion as his neuralgia grew more painful. At last be -obtained a combination of chemicals, a slight application of which to the face immediately relieved his pain, Gratified at his success, but hardly yet convinced, he tried the preparation on others similarly afflicted and with equally satisfactory results. “in coRPona vim.” About this time there happened to stroll into the laboratory one day a dilapidated tramp on his periodic begging expedition from place to place. Now, this tramp wa§ a particularly unfortunate one, his poverty being hardly more distressing than his physical ailments. One of his legs was swelled with rheumatism, neuralgia coursed along his face and a dozen or more sores and bruises made him a veritable Job. Happening to meet him Edison saw in him a moat excellent subject for farther polyform experiments. A hearty meal and a little change reedily procured the trams’* consent, and soon the inventor was subjecting his new acquaintance to all sorts of chemical experiments. For moro than a week the tramp found food and lodging in Menlo park, giving in return a few hours of his time every night to be experimented upon. By the time his engagement was over his rheumatism and neuralgia had disappeared, and his sores were well pigh healed. The news of the tramp’s good fortune soon spread, and now it is no uncommon thing for neighbors to come to the inventor’s laboratory from miles around to request a little polyform—a request which the inyehter always good nataredly complies GOLD “TA.1LMGS.” The very, very latest enterprise of the indefatigable scientist Is a scheme for obtaining gold ont of “tailings,” or the sand thrown out by miners as having been worked out Rumor has it that Edison has succeeded in obtaining a chemical preparation which will take from $20* to $3*0 per ton out of ‘tailings” from which the present processes can obtain nothing. The matter, however, is as yet a profound laboratory secret

Mexico to he Absorbed, and a Mossrchy to Succeed that Republic. [CorvMpcPaepcc ol The Indianapoila Newt.] Waouibctox, December 20,1ST*. I recently scent an hoar with Oongvessmaa Mills, of Texas, in which time we disenseed various subjects of interest I asked him about th* growth ol Texas and its towns. He said Galveston had become quite an important seaport ana that San Antonie, Austin, Houston and all the towns of Texas were growing rapidly. They had expected to have in Texas in 1880 a population of 3,000,000, but immigration had fallen off of late years, and he didn't think they would reach ever 2,500 000. Many people, especially from the north, had returned tq their former homes. Still, the increase of population was rapid, and Texas would develop into a great state. The territory was vast in extent and fertile in reeourcet. Division OF T1XAB. “Is there any disposition to divide Texas into two or more Elates?” I asked. “None at all. The ambition of the Texas people is t* preserve their terri tory intact, and build up a elate which shall have strong influence commercially and politicallv. We want to rival New York in the power of oar vote and combined wealth. No one favoring a division of the stole would receive the least countenance.” ABSORBTIOV OF MUX ICO. “What 4o you think is the future of Mexico?" “That country will all be absorbed by the United States. I think it will be done gradually, but it may all be accomplished at one time. The building of railroads into Mexico and connecting the country intimately with ours in its commercial interests will determine its destiny and fix it with oars. There is no doubt as to that. There may be a little trouble—perhaps some fighting—attending this, but i think not. I believe it will all be accomplished peaceably, and it will be the best thing that can happen Mexico.”

IMPSOYHMBST IU SOCISTT. “Is lawlessness decreasing in the northwm?” “Oh! yes. There is a remarkable improvement in our social condition. The nse of intoxicating liquors is not indulged in to the extent it formerly was, and the habit of drinking is looked upon as discreditable. This, I am pleased to say, is appreciable all through the north. I was talking with Mr. Stephens the other day about the improvement in the habits of our southern congressmen, when he remarked that he did not believe there was as much drinking now among the southern members as among the northeraers. Society frowns on the custom ef drinking more and more every year.

THKSOCTHIRU BOOM FOR GRAUT.

“Is there any boom, on an independent

basis, for Grant in Texas?”

“None that I have seen or heard of, but I can’t speak for the entire state. Texas is a big country and there may be many things transpiring in a quiet way, of which I know

nothing.

A M0HARCHV M BTORI FOR CS.

“Whatever may be the feeling for Grant as an independent candidate for president, he will be the next president if he wants to be, and I believe he wants the position. If he wants a nomination from the republicans he can get it, and he will be elected if he is nominated, no matter what may be said about the third term and the objectioBS it carries with itself. Then If he wants to be elected a fourth time he can be, and so on indefinitely. I think, sir, our form of government will be a monarchy before twenty years. The monied interests of the country will demand it. The great corporations want a strong, central government, and they will continually aud industriously work for that object until they accomplish it.” Mr. Mills delivered his views with a good deal of sincerity of expression, and evidently was uttering his clear convictions of what is in store for ns as a nation. There ar* others who entertain the same ideas, and I have sketched the foregoing conversation as a reflection of some thoughts passing through the minds of men. Bartox.

Christmas Crimes ami Casaulties. Bernard Picker, an old German resident of Dolphoe, Ohio, was called to the door by loud knocking at 2 o’clock in the morniug. Upon opening the door he was confronted by three men armed with revolvers, who demanded his mouey. He resisted, and was shot and instantly killed. His wife hearing the disturbance came to hia assistance. She was bound with rop gagged and tortured with fire, until she disclosed where the money was. Fifteen hundred dollars was taken. George Lynn, who was personating Santo Clause at a Christmas festival in the Methodist church at Pataskala, Ohio, was probably fatally burned by his costume taking fire. A quarrel occurred at a ball near Batavia, Ohio, between Albert Fitzwater and Jake Geiger. Fitzwater challenged Geiger to fight, whert-upom Geiger seized a stone mason’s hammer and neat Fitzwater on the head and shoulders so that he died. E. C. Youiea, bookkeeper for It. G. Huston A Co., who left Cincinnati a week ago under suspicious circumstances, was brought po New Orleans, where he was arrested. He immediately swallowed poison, and died in ten minutes. Edward Hanley was fatally shot by Deputy Marshal Mullins, in Edgefield, a suburb of Nashville. A short time before the shooting Mullins had attempted to arrest Hanley, when a scuffle ensued in which Hanley threw Mullins, when they were separated.

Movement of Arab* Into India. A correspondent at Lahore reports that a suspicious movement is noticed proceeding from the Afghanistan frontier. The Afghans, in small parties, are traveling to different parts of India. Every train for the interior takes from twenty to forty Afghans. The authorities are on the alert, and will watch travelers. Another carious circumstance is the fact that large numbers of Arabs are constantly arriving at Bombay, and although they are stopped at the railway stations whenever there is any ground for sospicion, they make their way to various cities of the in the interior by byroads. Th# matter is attracting the earnest attention of the government. A Lahore dispatch announces that General Gough has joined General Roberts without opposition.

The Sltsation In Maine. Christmas afternoon about 5 o’clock two drays, loaded with arms and ammunigion were stopped on Kendu.-keag bridge, Bangor, Maine, on their way from the arseual to the railroad depot to be shipped to Augusta. It seems that the moving was done by orders of French, a clerk of Adjutant General Leavitt, who claimed to be acting under verbal orders fiom Governor Garceion. Great excitement was enured and the people blocked the streets and compelled the return ot the arms and ammunition to the arsenal. There was no tflocd&hed, but it was a narrow escape.

A Train Captured by Roughs. Eight roughs boarded the B. and O. train at Camden at 11:15 Wednesday night. Just as the train started they drove a colored man from the cars, and afterwards made an attack upon another cblored passenger. He fled to the ladies’ car for safety, but was pursued there by the rough?, who made an indiscriminate assault with pistols and sticks upon the passengers. A colored woman was shot in the neck and a man badly cat. Other passengers were badly bruised. - — 1 * The Boruasia.

The trial is very long and exasperating, but there is not the slightest suspicion that Mr. Talmage murdered Mary Stannard.— [Chicago Times Mr. Delane, the late editor of the London Times, married the widow of Mr. Bacon, his predeceeeor for two years ui tbfe position in which he become famous. The Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, of Brooklyn, is antbority for this rash statement “Heaven is eternal, and has twelve gates and taom for all the Brooklyn clergyman to get in.” Rev. Thomas Beecher has contributed 105 articles to the Elmira Gazette, and he never forgot to write at the bottom, “If not good enough for jour paper you need not publish.” The Washington Capitol remarks: “Some of our slow subscribers, who may not find our paper in their mail, can understand that its absence is dne to their unremitting kindness. '' The publishers of a New York magazine recently offered Mr. Rnakin $400 for a short article on the cathedral of St. Mark’s at Yenice, and $1,090 to Browning, the poet. Both refused. Mr. Tennyson has again failed as a dramatist; his “Queen Mary 5 ’had all the help of Irving on the stage and a splendid monnting, but it excited only the feeblest interest for a short time and was then withdrawn. A novel fight receitly occurred at Atlanta, Ga., between a rooster and two small, but vicious dogs. It lasted several minutes, during which the bird lost a great deal of plumage and most of his tail; but at last he beat the dogs all hollow, and they retired, sadder and wiser animals.

Such seems also to be, in effect, the use of the electric light now put i >on the winter palace at St. Petersburg. It oetokens that the imperial household regards itself virtually as in a state of eiege. A pious woman was recently before a London police court for “disturbing, vexing, troubling, and disquieting’’ a clergyman while conducting service in the chnrch, which she had devoutly attended for years. Her offense consisted in making “a most shocking noise” which she considered singing, but which was a nuisance to everybody else. It was found to be incurable, aad could no longer be endured. The celebrated Iowa madstone is, says the Burlington Hawkeye.in the possession of Mr Turner Evans, of Paris, Jackson township, Linn county.

The present owner of the $tone has had it for twenty years, and daring that time nearly 700 cases have been cured, and in no case has the stone failed to give relief and effect a cure.

Tiie Lost Cor Seeker. [Cleveland Press.] Wm Wetmore, lost-car agent of the Wabash railway, passed through the city yesterday on one of his periodical chases after stray cars. Wetmore is a loquacious individual, sings in a church choir wherever Sunday finds him, and his description of his peculiar business is interesting. The lost-car agent is distinct y a cosmopolitan. He carries in his pockets parses over almost every road on the continet—a queer collection, by the wav—some of them marvels of the engraver’s art. and others gaudy as the queen of hearts. One week finds the lost-car agent hunting cars in Florida aad the next may dtfcover him in Maine. The rules governing the business are that he must travel by day light, ride iu the rear coach and keep his eye peeled. Frequently while sailing pasta side track full of cars he discovers one belonging to his own company and by practice he becomes so sharp-eyed that he can photograph the number of that car on his mind in aa instant. Arriving at a telegraph station h* politely requests the officials of the road to send home his company’s car. Cars are frequently sent from one eni of the continent to the other and sent back empty. In case a road be short of cars they sometimes take the liberty to retain and use them, and sometimes a dishoaest road will steal them outright and obliterate the owner’s mark and number. A loet-car agent for a western road recently, after searching for months for a car, found it away out on the plains forty rod from the railroad, devoid of its trucks and occupied by aa ambitions squatter aa a residence.

The Coldest Town on the Globe. . The town which Hnmboldt and other travelers have pronounced the coldest on the globe, isJakutsk (or Yakootsk), chief town of the province of that name ia Eastern Siberia, on the left bank of the river Lena, 62 deg. 1 min. north, longitude 119 deg. 44 rain, east, and distant from St. Petersburg 5,951 miles. The ground remains continually frozen to the depth of 309 feet, except in midsummer, when it thaws 3 feet at the surface. During ten days in August the thermometermarks 85 degrees, but from November tc February it ranees from 43 to 98 degrees below zero, and the river is solid ice for nine months out of the twelve. The entire industry of th* placepopulation about 5,000—is comprised in can dlewcrks, and yet it is the principal market of Eastern Siberia for traffic with the hunting tribes of the Buriat?. The former, mostly nomadic, having large herds of horses and cattle, bring to market batter, which is sent on horseback to the port of Okhotsk. The Bnriats, ajfo nomadic, bring quantities of skins of sables, foxes, martens, hares, squirrels and the like, and many of them are sold at the great fair in Jane, which, with May, is the active period of the rear. In May the collided goods are conveyed to the seaports, whence they are sent in every direction. The merchandise, chiefly furs and mammoth tusks, said at the fair amount in value to 4,000,800 roubles ($300,000).

The hat factories in Adamstown, Pa., are busier now than they have been for years. Woolen goods have advanced in price, and four factories are kept running day and night to fill the orders on hand. About 500 operators are employed in these factories. Not only silk spinners from Macclesfield, Coventry and otber English towns have emigrated to Paterson, N. J., lately, but there are large additions from the French and Swiss .silk centers. Over 1,000 operatives have been added within the year just closing.
