a few facts. The first is that they claim the
right to scale it. That is, their offer is made
on a basis of a sale of 5,000 tickets. If they
only sell 1,000 they claim the right to dis

Herald, on the ether hand, will distribute
every present it has offered. We have no

have already sold fully half enough to make
the schedule a success.
In the second place we offer no share s in

He mast not be confounded with another John
Flynn, who is now master mechanic at the W.
A A. shops, because this vulgar fellow used
: WDrk for his living, and it is said by some
started life by swinging a hammer over an
anvil. Soch a relative would be very dis
tasteful to our Col. John Fiynn. Besides
these two aristocrats, whom they must have
known t!ioy could not carry, they have put on
another pampered son of wealth, Mr. J.
Warlick, whose prudent boast is that he
never did anything for money in his life. He
holds tha' to work for money is essentially
low and v. lgar, ond he sits back at hi3 ease
and drawe interest on the money which his
nceetors Lave hoarded up hundreds of years
ago. He always creates a stir when he ap
pears upon the street in his gorgeous landou,
and 1 has nctriders to lay velvet carpets
for him when he wishes to step from his car
riage to the sidewalk. One of the merriest
jokes that Mr. Warlick has is to allude to a
certain Warlick upon Marietta “as his cousin,”
when it is known that this Warlick, though
now very well off, was formally nothing but
a common workman.
These three men cannot possibly be elect
ed. The “wool hat boys” can’t stand them.
Ana when it is considered that there is on the
ticket, besides these, that unconscionable
capitalist, D. A. Beattie, who is going to
change his name because there is another
party of the 6ame namo who has some con
nection with a stock yard ; and those rich
and haughty wags, Owen Lynch and Bob
Farrar, who, though they were born im
mensely wealthy, go to two railroad offices
and work like galley slaves from six in the
morning till nine at night on moderate sala
ries, just for the fan of the thing, we can't
see how it is possible for it to get a dozen
votes in the city, aive from the very rankest
rristocrats.
It roust be changed, and that qnick ; onr
wool hat protests againet it.
I noticed with some interest what your cor
respondent had to say in one of your recent
numbers, in regard to the course which the
Secretary of the State Senate ha3 seen proper
to pursue in holding over. Clearly it must
be thought by every onc not exactly seemly
for Mr Cabiness to bold tbe offices cf Secre
tary of the Senate and Solicitor General of
the Flint Circuit at the same time. The same
objection which obtains in his case, applies
to tho case of his two assistants both of
whom, I understand, have been appointed to
solicitorships. Let it be nnderstood that we
make no unkind allusions to either of these
gentlemen, for we feel for them tho greatest
respect and kindness—but we only intend to
say, that in our judgment, their resignation
of their posts as officers of tbe Senate, should
have fallen immediately upon the acceptance
of their present positions. This would have
been right and generous so far as others were
concerned, and have avoided all appearance
of monopoly. Fair Plat.

Boarbouize of Baris is the inventor of an in
geniously constructed instrument, called the
galvanometer balance, which is said to com
bine with s perfect sensitiveness the most
remarkable accuracy.
In this instrument tbe magnetic needle is
replaced by a magnetic bar oscillating inside
tbe multiplier frame, tbe spires of which are
horizontal. A current passing through the
multiplier deviates the magnetic bar in tbe
same manner as tbe lever of a balance wonld
be affected nnder the influence of an unequal
load in one of the scales; and farther, as in
ordinary balances, the magnetic bar carries
at tbe centre a needle which passes over n
graduated sector, allowing thus a means
of ascertaining the extent of tbe deviation.
Tbe lower end of tbo needle has a screw
thread cut upon it, and carries two email ad
justable weights. A second rod, perpendicu
lar to the first, also carries two small weights,
arranged on each side of the axis of suspen
sion. By moving these masses, the magnetic
bar will be placed horizontal; tho influence
of the earth being opposed by tho moment
of the weight of the lever at a sufficient dis
tance of the axis of suspension. These
weights also allow of a sufficient displace
ment being given them, so as to vanr the di
rection of the general resultant of the forces
which act upon tbe system, and thus regu
late tbe sensibility of the apparatus by
making this direction pass as near as possible
the direction.

From tbe New York Tribuce.
In my checkered life I have been a private
soldier, and between 1849 and 1850 I was in
tbe County Cork, stutioued at Ballancholy.
Those of you who are Irish'meu will want no
description of that beautiful valley of the Lee
which w inds between the hills from Cork, and
in summer seems like a paradise, green grass
growing to the water’s side, and richly
burnished with gold in the morning, and
rr.dtly to crimson in the evening sunset. I
went there on a November day. I was one of
a troop to protect the law officers, who
had come with the agent from Dnblin to
make an eviction a few miles from Inniscarra,
where the river Bride joins the Lee. lt was
a miserable day—rain freezing into sleet os it
fell—and the men beat down wretched dwell
ing after wretched dwelling—some thirty or
forty perhaps. They did not take much
beating down; there was r.o flooring to take
up; the walls were more mud than aught
else, and there was but little trouble in the
levelling of them to tbe ground. We had
got our work about three parts done when
out of one of them a woman ran and flung
herself on the ground, wet as it was, before
the captain of the troop, and she asked that
her house might be spared—not rbr long,
bat tor a little while. 8ne said her hus
band had been born in it, he was ill of
the fever, but could not live long, and she
asked that he might be permitted to die iu it

Your light remarks about patriotism and
State pride are very natural. I believe
they are ignored by some private
backers and brokers, dealers in Government,
State, municipal and railroad securities, etc.
I therefore have nothing to say about that, as
one’s profession, or, if you please, his “legiti

not entirely, on his “tastes, education” and
