Advancements made on Consignments He ChBrffca for Storage ef GeetU W1 BE A a IS Am SEEDS FOR THE PEOPLF. An average congressman prizes nothing more than his seeds. They are always appreciated, and appeal to the great mass of country constitu encies. This seed distribution is a peculiar affair. Prom its inception the agri cultural department has relied upon it as the chief means of keeping iu the good graces of congressmen, with remarkable success. Tho seed busi ness began small, but last year $75, 000 was voted for its support, and this year 100,000 is set aside for that purpose. Formerly the business was carried on in the basement of the ag ricultural department, but two years ago a spacious building was erected for the purpose, which now also shel ters the civil service commissioners. I went down there the other day to find 160 women and 53 men busily employed in putting up the seed. The men get SL50 a day, and women SL25. Mr. Longley, the chief, pre sides. Every year he buys tons of seeda Some come from abroad, tho greater part all comes from this country. He is constantly on the lookout for new varieties, which are bought, tried by the department gar dener, and, if a success, sent out Two-thirds of his appropriation he spends in seeds, the rest in putting them up. Half the women paste to gether stiff paper envelopes for tho smaller kinds, and others sow cotton bags for tho farm seeds. Then boys with different sized scoops, fill them, and at long tables other women gum the envelopes, or, with a few quick stitches, sew tho bags. Then they are piled up in heaps like a small grist-mill, awaiting to be sent away. This work is going on all the year. Now tho winter wheat is being pre pared, to be followed by the cotton for the south. During the year just over jfr. Longley has mailed 3,622,733 pack ages, all going free. Of tliese 2,URi,- 730 are given to the congressmen, al though by law they are only entitled to two-thirds. The agricultural de partment has a crop correspondent in every county and. general one in each state. The former got 395,905 pack ages, the latter 72,450, while miscel laneous applicants raceived. 279,653. And so perfect is the system that great books are kept wherein each re cipient and what ho receives are set down. The seeds are of all sorts, from field corn and potatoes to the rarest flowers. Peas, beans, corn and potatoes are put up in quart sacks and the flower seeds in tiny envel opes. The list includes over fifty kinds, while of vegetables there are 128 varieties, and of flowers 131. These two are more than two-thirds of the whole. Last year 2,351,835 lots of vegetables and 563,638 of flower seeds were distributed, turnips rank ing next with 425,858, wheat 69,290, tobacco 114,671, potatoes 112,229, sor gum 34,359, while of tho poor, de spised sunflower 565 packages were given away. But the reader will say, what a job it must bo for a congressman to do up nnd address such a number of packages. Allowing that the divis ion was made equally, each one re ceived last year 7,104. This is not literally true, for the city members very often exchange their seeds with bucolic statesmen for books and oth er perquisites, while the country members, who never can get enough seeds, go in troops to Dr. Loring to beg for more than they get by allow ance and exchange. He always man ages to squeeze out a few extra, which accounts for their having more than two-thirds. But taking the average number, over 7,030 of these bundlos to direct would be a a large job. Instead of that, they do this: Every congressman keeps a wonderful book of names. He ran sacks directories, writes to local poli ticians and relies on his memory to get a list of all the men in his dis trict who for any reason aro worth looking after. Thousands of them, with addresses, are thus on hand. This volume is sent to the seed office, There the clerks direct to each name a variety of seeds, and in the mail goes at the same time a neat official postal card which bears these words, tho blank approptiately filled: Sm At the request of Hon. we send you a package of . Very re spectfully. Geobqs B. Loring, Commissioner. Thus the reoipient sees whence the donation comes, oven if the member does not have the bags sent to his room to be directed by his own hand. One wagon is kept constantly carry ing the parcels to the postoffice, and, if tho increase goes on, no one knows what bounds this grand distribution may not reach. Corresjwndence Cincinnati Commercial. The Jlaine Election. Augusta, Sept 9. The following dispatch was sent to General Logan to-day. "The result of the election may thus bo summarized: The Re publicans have carried every county in the state with the possible excep tion of Knox, which is very close. They have elected twenty-nine sena tors, and tho Democrats only two, and have chosen four-fifths of the legislature; they have elected four Republicans in congress by large ma jorities, and have given Governor Bo ble a popular majority of 17,000. The Republican vote will reach vnrv np.-irl 80,0004,000 to 5,000 larger than over cast Deiore. uur majority is the largest we have had since the presi dential election of 1868, and far ex ceeds our most sanguine hopes."

The Proximate Town at Port Moody. Every one is aware of the early commencement of extensive works at the terminus; the construction of a new wharf and round houses, of fices, additional sidings, which will bo necessary in view of the rapid completion of the railway from ocean to ocean. About 15,000 tons of rails are now ordered and will arrive in the course of a few months. The largo bodies of workmen soon to be relieved on the upper portion of the line will be sent down to Port Moody to complete the work there as rapidly as possible. A large contract for the supply of about 8,000 tons of cement, we are told, has been effected, for delivery at Port Moody on Imperial government account This is pos sibly for the new graving dock. A strong forcejbf the engineer corps will arrive shortly to superintend the construction of the forts at Port Moody, and possibly at tho first nar rows. " We need hardly remind our readers that the assemblage of so many workmen will involve their families andtho tradesmen with their families;' to supply them. But we are about to have extensive brick yards, shipyards, machine shops and other industries of a permanent character, -which will make Port Moody the great center of wealth and populationln British Columbia. New Westminster Guardian. -- m Naples, Sept 9. During the last twenty-four oltb there have been 800 fresh case of cholera, and 300 deaths in theeity. The town presents a gloomy aspect- Images of saints, with acolytesbearing lighted tapers, formed the, head of a procession of women, whiohlmarched through the streets and. invoked tho help of the Virgin. A large crowd assembled out side the church of Sangennoro, in consequence dfja report that the Vir gin Mary Bad, descended upon tho altar and Jjestowed her blessing upon the people. The doors of the church were closedjanB. the crowd attempted to break thenfopen. Troops arriving, however, theaoors were opened and the multittfdejfrusbed in, fell upon their knees jmd engaged in fervent prayers. 'King Humbert visited, late in the dayjConchina hospital. An immense, crdwd tendered the king an ovation as hbjproceeded through tho streets. Bpnifcres were lighted through out the cityViand disinfectants were freely used, r fe-pr Helena, Sept 9. There is great excitement at Benton over tho con firmation' of an important gold dis covery in Ihe Little Rocky mountains 100 miles1 northeast of that place. When thdiscovery was first raporte'd the citizens of Benton sent a com mittee, consisting of P. H. Aspling and Dennis"Halpin, to investigate. They telegraphed to-day that the mines are good. About 100 claims have been taken tip, and those work ed pay $6 to $11 per day to the man, working with an ordinary gold pan. In one instance $300 "was taken from a pit twenty feet square. Jerry Col lins, editor of the Benton River Press, telegraphs that half the citi zens of the town are either preparing to join tho stampede or have already gone. Pabis, Sept 9. It is officially stat ed that war will shortly be declared against China. The scheme of occu pying Formosa has been abandoned, and a fresh expedition of a more im portant nature than previous ones was prepared when the question was discussed at Saturday's cabinet council. The Jersey City Evening Journal published lately an interesting story about one of its carriers, Bushrod Vaughn, now living in Greenville. At the outbreak? of the rebellion Mr. Vaughn belonged to Company D 71st N. Y. S. Mo. In the first battle of Bull Run he received a bullet wound below the left eye, and was left sense less on the field. He was taken pris oner and was confined in Libby prison at Tuscaloosa, Ala., the whole period of imprisonment being twenty-two months. The bullet still remained in his head. No effort was ever made to remove it A few days ago, while at work on his hands and knees in his coal bin, his right nasal cavity became obstructed, as he supposed by a particle of coal. He closed the left nostril, and blowing hard several times was delighted to find in his handkerchief the bullet which he had carried in his head for more than twenty three years. A collector of curiosities offered him $250 for it but he refused tho offer. A New York tailor has hit it It is simply a double or false vest pocket in which to carry cigars.
