New Hampshire Bepublioan Convention, Conaard, M.y 6. SENATOR EOnUNDI. The weighty dsclarstion in support of tha Edmunds moTsment priaUd in another plaoe oa this page will attract a great dsal of atten tion, and will baro mnoh inflasnes on the minds of Bspnbliaan votsrs In this and other States. All the men who sign It are known to their fallow oitizans as representatives of ths best element in .politics, and a number of them have national reputations whioh accord with their present action. We are glad that sneh action hat been taken. It is a fair and proper method of influencing public opinion, and the present i as fit a time as any for tha effort. Thsrs is no question bat that Senator Edmunds is growing in pnblio favor, and it is the right kind of a growth. The people are thinking over the varioug candidates for the nomination pretty carefully. Many of them find much to object to in Blaine and his record, and many also object to General Grant and a third term. Bnt there is no objection to Edmunds, mor is there likely to be. He is an exceedingly able man and a perfectly clean one. He is a Bepubli can of the most thorough kind, yet he has the respect of every Demecrat in Congress. A8 General Hawley has said of him: "He is able in every field law, legislation, states manship, practical politics. He Is careful in making np his judgments, and firm in main taining them. Ha is utterly without fear or embarrassment in expressing and maintaining his opinions. He has great qualities of equity and courage.

The American Geographical Society, whose headquarters are in New York, has not taken a very notable part in the geographical work of the world, owing mainly to lack of means. Yet it is by no means an insignificant body. It is now fifth in the number of members and is in a prosperous condition. It has a geo graphical library which numbers more than 14,000 volumes, and which, in its diversified character, embracing works of travel and ex ploration in every part of the globe, in the possession of the beat editions of many rare works, of the most desirable traatises upon the scientific department of geography, and in an unusually large collection of atlases, begin ning with the first atlas by Ortelius in 1570, and extending in a continuous chain down to the present time, is pronounced equal to any that exists in any country. Ths society holds monthly meetings, and at one cf these Beat ings each year it is the custom of the Presi dent, Chief Justice Daly of New York, to make an address reviewing recent geographi cal work. These addresses have come to be eagerly looked for, presenting, as they do, briefly and thoroughly, all the Important achievements in Geography during the pe riods they cover. In his last address, delivered Tuesday even ing, Mr. Daly reviewed the geographical work of 1878 and 1879, and it may not be uninter esting to turn away for a moment from the fasoinations of politics, the Monroe doctrine, etc., to see what has been going on in Geog raphy during the last two years. First, it may bs noted that there has been a great increase of interest in the subject. Eight new geographical societies have been formed, and there are now In the world fifty-one of these organisations, the last two being one in Algeria and one in progressive Japan. The need of these societies is greater than might appear at first sight, for there is a large por tion of the earth yet unknown, and geograph ical societies encourage exploration and thus open up great and fruitful regions to general intercourse. Among the most interesting results In gen eral geographical work is the completion of the measurement of a new arc of the meridian instituted by the governments of France and Spain. The great difficulty was to extend the line of triangulation from the coast of Europe to the coast of Africa, which, after raany fail ures, was finally accomplished by means of the electrio light. The vapors of the Mediterra nean proved impervious to the rays of the electrio light, and to produoe sumaient inten sity it was necessary to construot an electro magnetic apparatus, propelled by steam en gines. After twenty days of repeated efforts and failures, the electrio light from Tetica, in Spain, became visible to the eye on the Af rican coast, like a round, reddish disk on the horinon, and on the following day ths electric light from Mulahaoen, in Spain, was seen. and the work was accomplished, so that we now possess a meridian aro of 37, tbe greatest ever measured on the surface of the earth. Attempts have been made to get the nations to agree on a common meridian. M. de Beaumont, president of the Geographical Society of Geneva, advocates a meridian pass ing through Bearing's Straits as the initial or first meridian, and Justice Daly conenrs la M. de Beaumont's suggestion. One rather unexpected result of some meas urements made is the demonstration of the fact that the city of Lisbon, and indeed the whole coast of Portugal, should be laid down on the charts considerably more than two minutes of- longitude to the west of their present place. The explorations of Sir Wyvill Thompson, made during the recent voyage of Her Maj esty's ship Challenger around the globe, have demonstrated that the average depth of the ocean is about 2,000 fathoms (12,000 feet;, and that depths beyond 4,000 fathoms are very rare. In the deeper abysses below 3,000 fathoms the soundings revealed an extremely reddish clay, apparently the decomposition of sub-marine volcanoes and of decomposed organisms. Dr. Kroll, of Gottingen, esti mates the mean depth of the ocean at 1,877 fathoms. . - . There is no branch of geographical science which has made more advance during (he last two years, or is more Important than meteor ology. Various countries are now oo-operat ing in this work, and its practical utility, al ready very great, bids fair to be greatly In creased. In this connection the extraordinary snow fall which occurred in Cashmere, in Asia, last winter, may be mentioned. In cer tain places it snowed continuously and unin terruptedly for ten successive days, the snow npon the level plains being from thirty to forty feet deep, and in some of the mountain passes it was piled np to a height of 160 and 250 feet The earth was torn from the hill sides and precipitated into the valleys in the spring by the weight of the descending ava touches. The destruction of wild animals was very great. The occurrence of famines In the East has given rise to Inquiry as to their causes, and they are attributed to the wanton destruction of the forests on the hillsides. With regard to Arotio exploration, the Ba rents, in 1878, waa the first sailing vessel that had sighted Franz Josef Land, and in other expeditions useful geographical work wag done. An important event was ths dispatch of tha steamer Jeannette by the way of Beh' ring's Straits, with a view of exploring Wran gle's Land and of penetrating, if possible, as far as the Pole. The greatest event in the Arotio daring tbe period nnder examination was the accomplishment of the Northwest Passage around Asia by Professor Norden skjold. The numerous explorations in Afrloa have greatly changed tha map of that country, and we now know a great deal about the center of the -continent. The best estimate of ths population of Africa pnts It at 186,000, 000, being about sixteen inhabitants per square mile. The negro regions are the most populous, and their inhabit ants are estimated at 130,000,000. There have been during the past two years a great number of minor explor ations and surveys in various coun tries, which have added mnoh to the stock of human knowledge. A great num ber are now in progress, and mnoh may be expeoted of them in the immediate future. Fifty years, or even twenty -five, of such prog ress in getting acquainted .with the earth as now seems likely to be made will work great changes. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Discerning man. The. decision of the Supreme Court of the United States on the Hew York tax law of 1866 in regard to shares la the national banks has already been made the occasion of legis lation. Senator Forstsr hag introduced a bill in tha New York Legislature providing that stockholders in national banks shall be assessed on the value of their shares therein, to be in cluded on the assessment roll as "personal." The result of a recent trial in the Maine Supreme Court will serve as a warning to the so-called experts in handwriting, who are very numerous just now. The suit referred to was brought by Capt. A. K. Meservey against Prof. Dunton for libel in saying that he was the murderer of Sarah E. Meservey, who was found dead in her house at Tennant's Harbor, December 22, 1877. The jury gave plaintiff a verdict of $1,668- Nathan E. Hart was convicted of the murder, and sent to State prison for life. Dunton, who testified for de fense at that trial, afterwards alleged in the newspapers that the handwriting of the letters whioh inculpated Hart was really the hand writing of Meservey, and that therefore the latter was the probable murderer. Edwin Barber of Med way, Mass., has been giving his two brothsrs-in-law a clean shave. Barber Is "boss-finishar" at Abner Smith's shoe factory and employed his brothers-in-law. Last year he notified them that he had been out down, and, consequently, would have to reduce their wages. The men submitted and worked at the reduced prioe all the year. Last week one of them notified Mr. Smith that he was going to seek work, as he could not support himBelf off the wages he had been receiving since the cut-down the previ ous year. Mr. Smith replied that hs had not cat down the wages of the finishers. An ex amination of the books showed that the boss brother-in-law had been oheating his relatives to ths amount of $6 per week each during the whole business year. A brother-in-law like Mr. Barber is worth having. Is a murderer entitled to the property of his viotim should that viotim have made a will in his favor? Thjs question, according to Vice-Ohanoellor Malins, has never been tested under English law. - The ciroumstances which have cow brought It to trial are remarkable enough. In July, 1876, a man named De Tourville murdered his wife in the Austrian Tyrol, in such a manner that he hoped to di vert suspicion from himself. Hs was," how ever, tried and found guilty by the Austrian court, and sentenoed to death, though even tually the sentence was commuted, on appeal, to eighteen years' imprisonment. Ths next of kin to Mme. de Tourville now contend that her husband could derive no benefit from a bequest which he himself had given effect to, for that the man was guilty of killing his wife there is no doubt whatever, and equally little that he murdered her because he knew that her will, failing children, had been made In his favor. At the expiration of eighteen years ha will, anless a decision to the contrary should be given, oome into the enjoyment of the money for tha sake of which hs hurled the unfortunate woman over tha preolpioe, aoeording to the finding of two Austrian oourts. The great Sprague ease has at last found a tribunal before which it can be heard, Judge Potter of the Supreme Court of Bhode Island having qualified. Tbe creditors of the Sprague estate propose now to test the validity of Mr. Z. Chafee's title as the trustee of the large property, which represents per haps a value of ten million dollars. The entire affair is somewhat grotesque in its huge oonfosion. The nominal owners of the estate have formerly treated it as a family concern, and no one knows what proportion, if any, may belong to the various members of the family. Tha creditors, on the other hand, are indignant that for years they hava re ceived no dividends, no interest, and no ac count such as they think themselves entitled to.' Mr. Chafee, the trustee, meanwhile has administered the estate to suit himself. He has paid very little attention to the brothers Sprague, and he apparently believes in the principle that possession is nine points of the law. Ha has once or twice been asked to re sign bis position as trustee, but calmly an swered that ha could not very well entertain suoh proposition. Nor has any court thus far succeeded in making ths slightest Impres sion npon this confusion.. The progress of the case will be interesting to lawyers and perhaps to others also. A carious difficulty has arisen over the ar rangements for the Democratic convention at Cincinnati. It seems that the municipal an- thoritias hava refused to allow poles to be erected along tha streets leading to the Musio Hall, whioh are neoessary to give proper tela- graphio facilities to the press and to the of ficers of tha convention and its delegates. This state ef affairs was reported a few days since by the manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company in Cincinnati to the gen eral manager in New York, and also by the Cincinnati agent of ths Associated Press to the general agent in Nsw York. Both these gentlemen, in their reports, stated that it would be impossible, under this action of the city authorities, to do the press-work for tha convention. These letters were referred to Mr. Barnnm, chairman of the executive com mittee of the National Democratic committee. and tha local oommittee in Cincinnati has been notified that unless the city authorities revoke tha order and allow the telegraph com pany every f aoility for constructing such lines to Music Hall as it thinks neoessary to do the work of the coavention, a call will be imme diataiy Issusd for a meeting of the full oom mittee to select another city for tha meeting of the convention. The order will probably be revoked. SPRING LA.T1U.

He found the operation of setting up barrels very interesting, and watch ed the cooper as he plaoed the staves around.

From an illustrated article by Brnest Ingersoll on "ocky Mountain Mules," in Sorlbner for April.J Ths western pack-mule is small, sinewy, and, like old Joey Bagstock, "tough, sir, tough ! but de-e-vlish sly !" Most of them are bred from Indian ponies and are born on the open plains. Having previously been lassoed and branded, when three years old they are driven (or inveigled) into a corral and exhibi ted for sale as bronchos. An untamed horse is a model of gentleness beside them. Some times they are accustomed at once to the sad dle by ona of those wonderful riders who can stick on the back of anything that runs, and more rarely they are broken to harness; but ordinarily their backs are trained to bear the pack, whioh is generally ths only practicable method of transporting freight through these ragged mountains. The first time the paok-saddles are put on, the exoltement may be imagined. The green mule, strong in his youth, having been adroit ly "roped" or lassoed, is led out into an open space, stepping timidly, but, not seeing any cause for alarm, quietly ; before he under stands what it all means, he finds that a noose of the rawhide lariat about his neok has been slipped over his nose, and discovers that his tormentors hava an advantage. Ha pulls, shakes his head, stands upright on opposite ends, bat all to no avail. The harder he pulls, the tighter the nooso pinches his nostrils, so at last he comes down and keeps still. Then a man approaches slowly and olroumspectly, holding behind him a leather blinder which he seeks to slip over the mule's eyes. But two long ears stand in the way, and the first touch of the leather Is tbe signal for two jumps ona by the bsast and one by the man, for packers are wise enough in their day and generation to fight shy of the business end of the mule. The next attempt is less a matter of caution and more of strength, and here the animal has so much advantage thai often it mast be lassoed again and thrown to ths ground. It is a fine sight to witness the indignation of sueh a fellow ! He falls heavily, yet holds his head high and essays to rise. Bat his fore-feet are manaolad by ropes and his head is fast. Yet he will shake almost free, get up on his hind-feet, stand straight np and dash down with all his weight in futile efforts for liberty. Seonredwith more ropes, allowed but three legs to stand upon and cursed fright fully, he must submit, though he never does it with good grace. It is not always, however, that this extremity is resorted to. Some ani mals make little resistance while the strange thing is being put upon their backs and the fastenings adjusted all but ons ; but when an effort is made to'put that institution called a crupper under a young mule's tail, language fails to sxpress the oharaoter of the kioking I The light heels describe an aro from the ground to tan feet above it and then strike out at a tangent. They cut through the air like whip-lashes and would penetrate an im pediment like ballets. Bat even mule flesh tires. Strategy wins. The cropper is gained anal the first hard poll made upon the sinoh (as the girth is termed J which holds firmly every hair-breadth, and will finally crease the contour of the male's belly into the semblanoe of Cupid's bow. Bat this onvpull suffices to set him springing again bucking, now, with arched back and head? between his knees, landing on stiff legs to jar his . burden off, or falling full weight on his side and rolling over to scrape it free. He will sit on his haunches and hurl himself backward; will duck his head and turn a somersault ; finally will stand still, trembling with anger and exhaustion, and let jou lead him away, conquered.

Kangaroo Hunting;. Raellenes at Snort Notice. Badiahea may be grown in a very few days by the following method : Let some good rad ish seed soak in water for twenty-four hours, than put in a bag and expose it to tha sun. In the course of the day germination will oommenoe. The seed must be sown in a well manured hot bed, and watered from time to time with lukewarm water. By this treatment the radishes will in a very short time acquire a sufficient bulk and be good to eat. If it be required to get good radishes in winter during the severs eoldj an old cask should be sawed In two and one-half of it filled with good earth. The radish seed beginning to shoot as before must be then sown In, the other half of the barrel put on top of the fall one, and the whole of the apparatus carried down into the cellar. For watering lukewarm water should be used as before. In the course of five or six days the radishes will be fit to eat. Cnasing; tlie Animals with Fiect Horses Through Australian Wilds. From the San Francisco Chronicle. The kangaroo, as is well known, is found only in Australia and Tasmania. Its means of locomotion and defense are so peculiar, and its swiftness so great, that tbe chase of it is attended with excitement and dangers wholly unique, xne bunting for rox in England is over comparatively smooth ground and moderate-sized fences, with well-trained horses, while the kangaroo has to be chased over new country, full of holes covered with wild grass, over ditches, fallen trees, among - trees and their branches, on horses that have no supe riors in the world in speed. Then the dan gers that yon are to encounter when you overtake the kangaroo, though not in the re ality extreme, are as great as those met in the tiger hunt as usually conducted, while in the latter you have not the exoitement and dan ger of the chase. The place where I write is about 200 miles from the ocean shore, on the banks of a beautiful river, shaded with eu calyptus trees. These trees are the natural growth of the country, cover a large part of it, and are believed, both here and in Europe, to so destroy malaria as to be a sure guaran tee against fevers of all kinds. The coaches are examined before retiring at night to see if there are any snakes in them ; but none are found. A native, with two women, is oamped on the shore near by. Their camp is a half circle of piled-up logs, three feet high, while on the open side, toward the water, glares a brilliant fire, lighting np them and tho dark ness with a lurid, fantastic savageness. These natives resemble the Afrioan more nearly than either of the other four of the human races, and come without doubt from that stook. Their hair cannot be striotly said to be either hair or wool, but most nearly resembles the latter. They are of good size, dark brown. well made, and don't enoumber themselves with much clothing. One of their weapons of war is the bpomerang, and is a carious af fair. It is made of very hard wood, three feet long, four inches wide, one inch thick at the centre, and bends edgeways so as to make a third of a oircle. With the hand they are said to throw this implement 150 yards, cut ting off the head of an enemy, and having the weapon return to tne feet of tne sender. I have seen it thrown that distance and return to the person who threw it. The full-grown male kangaroo is colled boomer. and is about seven and a half feet long from bis nose to the end 01 bis tail, tne tail beine about three and a half feet of this, and one foot in diameter at its base. Me lives on grass, sometimes invading the fields of the frontiersman, and eating up all he has. He stands on four legs when feeding, and at no other time. His tail is full of powerful sin ews, bnt it is used only to assist in the equili brium while sitting, standing on the toes and running. In a sitting posture he is about four and a half feet high ; but when he stands on his toes to survey the country or an ene my he is taller man a man. Me has a soft. gazelle-like expression, but the white teeth gleam between the open lips. His color is brown, tending in age to red or gray, accord ing to the speoies. They weigh (the male) from 150 to 175 pounds each. 1 be meat tastes somewhat like venison, but is not very good, though the tail makes excellent soup. The female is under six feet in length, and is different somewhat in appearance from the male. Xne young, when born, are only an inch long, and are first seen nursing the mother in the pouch in front, where she car ries them. They remain in this pouch till they are eight months old and weigh about ten pounds, and long afterward return to it on appearance of danger. When the mother is hard pressed by an enemy in a chase she throws the young one out of the pouch, who thereby makes its escape. There are kanga roo dogs, very swift and strong, especially adapted to hunting the kangaroo ; bat no ex perienced dog will tackle one without some body to back him. They jump about fifteen feet at a time usually, but sometimes twenty or more, and their swiftness is prodigious. Nothing can apparently overtake them in a fair raoe, and the usual way is to praotically surround them. When hard pressed they plac9 their back to a tree for the fight ; or, in preference, they always strike for the water if there is any near, xney try to seize then enemy with the fore paws, and then rip it from top to bottom with the middle claws of their hind feet, whioh are very sharp. If they are in the water they try to hold their enemy under it until ho is drowned. They will always leave a dog to attack a man. At nine o'clock this morning ten men, in cluding myself, started on horseback, with four dogs, on a chase. All Were experienced in the business except a young Englishman and myself. We took no firearms, a large stick being the only weapon to be used. We had no difficulty in finding the animals. It was disdained to avoid such fenoes as we found, and wc jumped several of a height of four to five feat, always approaching them at a full ran. We divided the party, half going to each side of a partly open plain. I soon saw a large kangaroo and twe small ones com ing toward our party. We waited until they were near enough to see us, when they made a right angle and W6nt off at an astonishing pace, in jumps of fifteen to twenty feet in length, going from eight to ten feet in the air at each jump. We "went for" the big one, bnt he quickly got beyond our sight, the three having already distanced the dogs. The kangaroo dogs hunt by sight, like the gray hound. These three were all lost, we learned as we met at the point agreed npon. We next surrounded another large tract of forest plain and meadow, this time dividing the dogs. In a few moments a hundred or more kangaroo came bounding toward the party with me. The dog with me started for them, and all ths dogs and men were at onoe in pursuit. The kangaroos divided into sev eral parties, eaoh dog seleoting one to follow, and each man following some one of the dogs. My dog went for a boomer, and I also, in com pany with two others of the party. The boom er stood up, took a long look at us, and then flew. We followed him among the trees and branches, jumping logs and debris of all kinds, and across plains at a fearful rate. The horses needed no urging ; their blood was up now. The dog "laid to it," but made no sound. When he would get near the kangaroo the ani mal would make a jump at right angles and change his coarse, while the dog would shoot on a distance before turning. After a ran of this kind for some distance the kangaroo started for a swamp. After reaching that, and going in a distance, he turned his face toward as, standing np on his hind paws to a height of seven feet, and pre pared for battle. The dog went for him, and the fight commenced. The dog succeeded in getting hold of his tail, and was carried in the air some distance by repeated jumps. The dog then lost his hold and was seiz ed and put under the water. Owing to my having the best horse I was first to come to the dog's aid. I was warned by shouts not to approach ths animal, but disregarded them and showed myself a good kangaroo hunter. The animal proved to be eight feet long. The rest of the party killed two smaller ones, and later in the day, at another chase, another large one was killed. The females do not fight, but run so swiftly away that they are rarely overtaken. D. B. Holbrook, of Wrst AuBonia, died on Monday of erysipelas caused by a soratoh on the hand from a rustv pail, while he waa oleanlng a barrel used for preserving meat. The Windsor Locks Canal Co , when it sold land to the Consolidated Bail road Oo., reserved the right to take baok land enough to widen the oanal l'J feet ; this is now to be done, the growth of the manufacturing interests demanding auditiooa! water power. A speoial town meeting will be held at Turner Hall, New Britain, at 7:30 o'clock Saturday evening of tills week to provide for the payment of a oounty tax of one mill on the doilar of the grand list, ani to take action regarding the current expenses of the town.
