Thb liver has much to do with th: circulation. How are your respective livers, gentlemen? Chicago waiters are practicing foi the fee system during the world’* fair. One of them is in jail for bur Kiary- _______ The Turkish Sultan has approved the order of his war ministei' limiting all officers of the army under the rank of major to but one wife. There ean scarcely be any question of morals involved in this procedure, as the Sultan has four fully commissioned wives and somc‘3oo by brevet, but the measure is probably taken because so much of the officer's time is token up in suppressing hair-pulljng riots at home. Italian immigration to this coun. try is peculiar in several respects Tn the first place, 3 very considers' Me proportion of our Italian immi grants go back to Italy to stay there after spending a few years in this country and saving a little money here. Several hundreds of them sailed from New York for Genoa last week in the steamship Furst Bismarck, never to return here, and over a thousand others have left us for good since the beginning of September. This kind of thing is going on all the time. In the second place, less than one-third of the Italians who emigrate to this country are women, and more than two-thirds ol them are men. The men come here to make a fortune, leaving their wives, sisters and sweethearts to await their return. In the third place, less than one-half of our Italian immigrants ever try to learn to speak or read the English languagei. and only a very small proportion of them desire to become American citizens. They live by themselves in certain quarters of the city, just •S the poorer Hebrews do, and know hardly anything about American hfa. The Italian people who come here, •f whom about 100,000 live in New York and its suburbs, are hardy r hard working, quick witted, frugal, .oquacious, and far less given to violence than they are often represented to be. If all of them would learn the speech of this country, fewer of. them would go back to Italy to stay there. If they would take up American ways, as the Irish, the Germans. and others take them up, they would get along better than they do, and find life in New York more attractive even than in Italy. The papers which are printed here in the Italian language ought to tell them these things. Americus Vespucius Symmes, of Louisville, Ky., says the Indianapolis Journal, has foot the organisation of a party for the rescue of Verhoeff, the Louisville boy who wandered off from Lieut. Peary’s party, in the Arctic regions, and who is believed by some to be still alive. In an interview in the Cour-ier-Journal Mr. Symmes says: I should like for six or eight young men who desire to immortalize themselves to volunteer to go to Greenland at the expense of the Government, but they would have to ra se money among themselves to pay for their outfits after reaching Greenland. After finding Mr. Verhoeff he will take command of the party, and next October will lead the expedition to follqw the wild animals to their homes in Symmesonia, where a new world will be found, a mild climate and a salubrious atmosphere. This Americus Vespucius Symmes is a son of John Cleves Symmes, of “Symmes’s Hole" celebrity. The elder Symmes was author of thetheory that the earth is a hollow sphere, habitable within, and open at the poles for the admission of light, and containing within it six or seven concentric hollow spheres also open at the poles, and each presenting a large amount of habitable surface. He spent a good deal of time and money exploiting his theory, writing and lecturing about it, and in 1822 petitioned Congress to fit out an expe dition to test its truth. A few years later he wrote a work entitled “Theory of Concentric Spheres,” which excited some attention and considerable ridicule. Although a crank on this subject, Symmes was a man of some note in other respects, having served as a captain in the regular army and achieved distinction in the war of 1812. About fifteen years ago the son revived his father’s the ory, and, as will be seen from the above extract, he still adheres to it. A leader thoroughly imbued with such a theory would be likely to get •s near the north pole as anybody.

The star (•» Indicates increase over 1888; the dagger <t) the de rease over 1888. Beside* tho vote given above, there were the following: Wing, Socialist, 329 votes in Conne tlcut, 676 in Massachusetts, 1,337 in New Jersey, 1.,.58 in New York, and 8!»8 in Rhode island; total. 21,136. Scattering vote: 1,267 ju Arkansas, 2,0.54 in Georgia,!Th Maine, 14 in Massachusetts, 105 in South Dakota. 3,'iiiO in Texas, 11 in \ermont, and 13J In Wisconsin. Total vote of the country. 12.086,445. Cleveland’s plurality over Harrison, 373,968. The election was full of surprises. Tho total result falls two iniiion votes short if some of the ante-election estimates. Counting the scattering vote and all, the tolnl vote of tbe country for 1893 1s 12,-3-85,445. But of this number 284,411 votes were contributed by the six now States. Therefore the actual gain over four years ago is only 419,622. The vote for President In 1888 was: Cleveland 5,538,233 Harrison 5,4'0,216 Fisk. Pr 0.,... 249,90? Streeter, Union Labor 148,105 Scattering 4,399

Comparison shows, therefore, that Cleveland gains 19,697 vote*. Harrison loses 156,234 votes. The Populace gain over Streeter is 890,C03 rotes, while the Prohibition! ts gain only 2 .21'. The largo increase of the Populace vote is iue partly to fusion, which gave it tbe Den»q< raticvote in Idaho, Kansas,Wyoming. Colorado and much of the Oregoii vote. The greatest increase in the vote of any one > tate was in Illinois, wh’cli shows a gain of 125, W; tho largest, decrease was 62,'-98 found in Mississippi, where an educational qualification for suffrage was recently enacted. New York State was a great disappointment. The natural increase would have shown a vote of 1.450,50'. but only 7,00 ) more votes than four years ago were polled. While the Australian ballot system was In some degree responsible for the light vote, it can not account for it wholly. A fair assumption seems to bo that th« people generally were apathetic.
