There seerus to bo no end to the sur- - r.riw nnl complications resulting from thd lata election. Perhaps the most intpnso interest is in Illinois, (ion. John M. P.ilnier is tha clioiro of the Democrats for United fct.-itf- stniitorj he was. contrary to cus torn, dominated at the and the cnn;uii(;n was fought through on that r.);'i rstar.ding.

With two of these the can elect a Henatcr; to elect rainier tho Democrats must have all three. The chances are for u tie, 102 to 102. if these fanners vote according to jirevions political afiiliations. But they may stand out anil compel one of the other partios to join them lu electing a FarniHrs' Alliance man. Th three gentlemen who hold snch powera are much cultivated just now. At their head is Dr. Uosea H. Moore, of Wayne county, who is president of tho national assembly of the F. M. B, A. lie is a native of Illinois, 47 years old, a gradu- - ate of tho Ann Arbor Medical college, mini of means and of character nnd abil-ity. Jlowasa Democrat, and the ques-tion of the hour is, will he vote for rainier? James Cockrell, of Marlon comity, was also a Democrat, but has been nn inde-jiende- nt since 1878. He is 50 years old, bom on the farm where ho now lives ' declares that he has no bias toward either of the old parties and thinks the F. A. men should seize the occasion to pnt their own candidate in the senate. Some twenty miles southeast of Terra Haute, in a thriving community of Ger-man farmers, lives Herman M Taube-iiec- k, third of this important trio. II is a native of the county he represents Clarke some UO years old, of a Repub-licn- u family, but a ''Greenbacker" from the first and now an Alliance man, a man of great intelligence and good char-acter, Another prominent niinoisan is Uol Herbert Waller Snow, who defeated tha Hon. Lewis E. Payson in the Ninth dis-trict, though the latter hud 2,888 major-- ity over him two years ago. Col. Snow is a native of Laporte county, Ind., M l i CAni.E. Itll.LF.B. SXOW. BABBITT. old, a farmer and a lawyer, a thoroughly self made man and a soldier with a brilliant record lie was a tintil tbe tariff issue bocume proinineut. The "Oshkosh Greek," as he Is called, trill be another prominent man in tha S'ifty-seor.- I congress. He was born, a near as can be detertninod, iu Greece in :tiX Hit 1'it'ier wiw slain in battle w:.ti the Turks, his mother died of grief and exposure, and the infant boy was found upon the battlefield by an Ameri-can named Miller. He brought the child norue, named biin Lucas Miltiades Wilier, fc'ave him a good education and a clunoe to start in law practice. The lad settled at Oshkosh in 1S40 and became cn active and prominent citizen. As an cCfk'trof the territorial militia he ac-quired the title of colonel, has served iu the legislature and held other important cnicea. Hie nomination for congress by tho Democrats was considered a mere compliment, yet he defeated the present member, Hon. G. B. Clark, who had a majority of 8,701 in iS88. Another brilliant success Is that of Hon. Btn T. Cable, of Rock Island, who will represent the Eleventh Illinois dis-trict as a Democrat, though it is usually strongly Republican. He is a native lllinoisan, 3ti years old and a graduate cf Ann Arbor university. A much greater surprise was the election of Hon. Clin-ton Babbitt from the First Wisconsin district, as tho Republican majority ia n.u;illy some 4,000. Ho is the only son cf Judgo Nathan Babbitt, of Cheehira county, N. U., where tlie future was born iu 1831. He has held few minor offices, but has taken a very active part in agricultural organizations. whore between the Caspian and Black sias, and pushed on from thora into ' Sunnntia, occupying tho country be-tween the Danube and the Don rivers, whence they were driven by tho sttcees- - sive invasions of tho Tartu, even as far north as Lapland, Scandinavia, Den-mark and the British Mrs- - spreading nil over Europe. It is seriously eontendod that the Angles, Saxons and delta are undoubted- - lv tho direct descendants of Ephraim and Manaswh; and that onr thirteen colonies repri'sented the thirteen tribes which wttli'd in Palestine under the rule of j Joshua, which colonics were made up j mostly of tho descendants of Joseph, Tlie reasoning by which this teaching ' is urged upnn our accept ance is plausible and quite ingenious; but altogether too much ha to lie taken for granted.

Of course nothing certain can j be known as to this matter. Writers must content themselves with specula- - tsvo opinion based upon hypothesis and j idtocther conjectural.

Alliert Meyer, of Stillwater, Minn., chemist, during a conversation on the jKitalo crop and the good price to farm-ers, gave an interesting talk of a new tulxTifernus plant that he thought would be introduced in Minnesota and become as much of a staple as the potato. "Will it flourish in this soil and Undoubtedly. ' will tell yon about it. A few years ago a scientist discov-ered in Japan a plant resembling tho po-tato, and sent samples off to Berlin and Paris to be experimented on. These ex-periments have been favorable successes, and the new potato has been extensively introduced in Ilerlin and Paris, esjiocial-l- y in hotels and restaurants. A number oi lanncrs in uur vu:uiny, wn.u wmuu i conversed on tho subject, are willing to experiment on tho plant wt season. "Tl.o Royal Prussian soe. ,y of Berlin has taken pains to make experiment with the plant. The scientific name of this plant is 'Stachya tuherifera,' but as to their form they might be called pina cones. 'Staoliys atlinia' is another name ami lately they have (riven it the name 'Ktaehys SieboldiL' The cultivation is the same as the old potalo, and there havo lieen found over 100 knolls in one hill; some say as many as !100, but this is probably exaggerated. They are, of course, not as large us our common po-tato. 'According to The Garden Flora, the organ of the society, the analysis of tho fruit is; W'aler fS.M Protein I.'.J Anilil.i 1.1.7 1'nt 0 !1 I'urhonhrdrato (Prioelpi uni .ictan) Ifi.07 Cellulose 0.n Anliea 1.(11 'There is neither starch nor snjear, but, galactan, a su'ostance between botlu Stachys nffinis of tuberilera is an agree-able tasting vegetable when boiled in Halt water and served with buttor and parsley sauce. Some people like them seetneu in on, mil mat is merely a mat- -, ter of taste. Prepared like 'pommes da terre friW (potatoes cut in small slices and fried in butter) they are claimed lo be a delicious dish. The hu;te is at first like that of a sweet potato, but one will soon feci a very fine picjuant taste. They do not need to be peeled, but are only washed cleau in water, which is another blessing to the housekeeper. They are kept in the ground as late as possible, and preserved packed in sand in the cellar during tho winter months. "Exposed to the air they will shrink and lose their nice white mother-of-- pearl like color. The plant is winter hardy, and thrives in any soil. Frost does not hurt them, and to have them always fresh they are left in tho ground ami dug as wanted. In our climate it is best to keep them in a ditch or in sand in the cellar. VV. Perring, insieotor of the Royal Botnnical garden in BerHn, informs me that the production is very large, and that there are many enthusi-asts in favor of tho new plant in that city, which prophesies the plant a great future. The expectations of high prices ami large yields will induce a good many fanners to make a trial with the new plant." St. Paul Globe. Utah Central Railway. Tin Card in Effect Oct. 26, 1890.

Henry U. McC'ook, D. D., in Popular Science. The Iron Dnlte and the Toad. Le petit Caporal was worshiped and feared, but men loved and adored tho Iron Duke. Of the former, how few are the kindly human traits recorded! while of the other, to this day, fresh proofs keep coming to liht of simple sweet-ness dwelling Ions' in the minds of men. Tho following anecdote may serve ns ona instance out of a thousand illustrating the sympathetic nature of tho great coin- - uiander: It seems that the duke, in the course of a country stroll, had come upon a lit-- : tie boy weeping bitterly over a load. A strange trio they must have been the lean, keen eyed old soldier, the flushed, BoDDing ooy, ana, Detween them, the wrinkled reptile sipiattiir, with tearless eyes and throbbing sides. Tho boy wept because he was gying to school next day; he had come da'.ly to feed his toud; the little heart was racial with grief because he feared his darling would be neglected when he was gone and might starve. The duke's heart was as soft as the boy's, for he undertook to see that the toad was looked after. Blackwood's j Magazine. The Wreck of the Royal George. The British war shin Serpent, the cable telle ns, has gone down off the ' Spanish coast with all on board. Such j a dreadful calamity has not come upon the nation for more than 100 years. How many there uro among ns who re-- member having read over and over in their school reading books Cowper's poem, "The Loaa of the Royal Oeorge." The words even now are fa-miliar: Toll for the brave, The brave that are no more; All sunk beneath the wave. Fast by their native shore. It was in August, 1782, that the great line of battle ship, the Royal George, lay off the harbor of Portsmouth. Eng-land. She was about to sail, with her full complement of 900 officers and men on board. A largo number of friends, wives and daughters of the sailors were also on board, these visitors being esti-mated at fully 800 or 400. Just as they were ready to sail a slight leak was dis-covered in the stern and a dolay was made. The ship was "hove down" so that the carpenters could reach the leak. So slightly was her balance disturbed that no one left tho ship, aud her com-mander. Admiral Kempenfoldt, was in his cabiu. Suddenly a squall etruck the ship; she was thrown over on her side, the port holes admitted the sea, and al-most instantly the lingo vessel sank. The majority of those on board wero in the cabins or between tho decks and could not escape. More than 1,000 wore drowned, among whom was Admiral Kempenreld t.

The pianist wan a young lady from Bremen, who was visiting there. Mr. Rntudta turned to his friend and wiid, "If I should ever marry 1 would like to man-- a woman like that." The gentleman went to the door and called the young lady in. "What do you think Mr. Rnszits just s.ftd'" he nurtured. Of course the ludy didn't know. Mr. Rns- - zits struck in and said, "Well, I am not afraid to repeat it,'' nnd he proceeded to do so. The lady looked at hint thought-fully for a moment or two and then said, 'Well, I will ac::ept." Thus his mar-riage came about. Cloak, Suit and Ladies' Wear Review. Army ami Jfavjr Death Ilnte. Army and navy death rates in time of war and paoe deserve much attention. Tho official tabb give us not only the number of men killed in action, but the relative tendency to diseaw in divers armies. For example, in tho Crimean war tho British army lost 2, W0 ituui L'illpil nn tho an.l f 111 Ml ,!,,, in hospital. It took 910 Russian shots to kill or mortally wound an Englishman or a Frenchman, and 700 English shots to kill a Russian: but the havoc caused by disease was far greater. If we study these statistics with attention and act upon them, we way reduce our cam- - pat giving losses by ,10 per cent. We may also learn some interesting physiological fitets.as that the proportion of Frenchmen l who die after amputation or other surgi-- ; cal oiieration is greater than of British or Russians. Contemporary Reviow. The MoMt Popnlur lluu tu France. By his manners and ways of life Franklin became the most popular man in France, so thut when he gained his presentation to the king his future was assured. As he passed through tho streets of Paris lie was followed by admiring eyes aud cheered loudly by enthusiastic voices. A contemporary writ-'s- : "A friend of mine paid something for a place at a two pair of etairs window to see him pas by in his coach, but the crowd was so great that he could but barely say ho saw him." He was the Frenchman's em-bodiment of the idral citizen, repub-lican, philosopher and friend. He com-pletely captivated and captured tho peo-ple of Franco, whom ho perfectly under-stood, and he well knew "that a popular wan becomes soon wore powerful than power itself." Condorcet said: "It was an honor to have seen him. People re-peated what they had heard him say. Every fete which he consented to re-ceive, every house whero he consented to go, spread in society new admirers, who becamo so many parti ins of the Amer-ican Revolution." Oitury. Sanitarians and health food people are sounding the note of warning against ingredients so common in our everyday cookery thut wo use them a! ways as a matter of course. Tho first dauger sig-nal is hoisted alongside the bottle of flavoring extract with which we make tasty our cakes and puddings. These extracts all contain alcohol, say the wiso Wilii, A Cactus with 710 Blossoms. Apropos to the fact that Amesbury claims a cactus with 4--t blossoms and Georgetown one with over a 100 blos-soms, it is interesting to know that in this city there is one with 710 blossoms i on it Nowburyport News. j Tho Revolutionary Cannon Maker.
