A dispatch from the superintendent
of the Farrell police, dated at Galves
ton, Jan. 7th, announces the arrest of
M. T. Polk, the fugitive Tennessee
Treasurer, at San Antonio. If the
Governor of Tennessee has issued the
necessary papers Polk will be returned
at once. If there is delay he may es
cape as he is only held by a police tel
egram. Washington, Jan. 4. .When the
whisky bill was under discussion to
day a well known employee of the
Senate said, "Have you noticed that
there is not as much drinking .among
the Senators as there used to be?"
Continuing, he said: "Last winter
there were six Republicans and eleven
Democrats who were pretty full all the
while. Of these seventeen only one
drinks to an extent that is now notica
ble, and he confines himself to brandy
aud champagne. Nearly all of the
other sixteen have either become tem
perate men or are very temperate
drinkers. The time was when the
Democrats in Congress did the most of
the drinking. Now, both in the House
and Senate, the Republicans lead in
this matter. Any way, there is not
near as much whisky drank by Con
gressmen as there used to be, and the
keepers of the congressional restaurants
complain of a lack of business."
Full thirty thousand people, it is
said witnessed Gambetta's funeral last
Saturday.
When Emperor William heard of
Gambetta's death he simply remarked,
"one peace-breaker less, gentlemen.''

"Tie Popular Science Monthly."
Volume XXII.
This magaziie draws from the intellec
tual resources of all nations, and is recog
nized as the most successful scientific pe
riodical in the world.
Annealing to no class, it is patronized
by intelligent readers of every class all
over the country. It is widely taken by
the cultivators of science in all branches,
and by physicians, engineers, scientific
farmers, and those pursuing the mechani
cal and manufacturing arts. Thoughtful
clergym-n find it indispensable, and are
extensively enumeratedamong its subscri
hers. Teachers, finding its discussions oi
the scientific principles oi education inval
uable, are among its most liberal suppor
ters. It has a large clientage among tne
lawvers. and it is not easy to find an hon
est and independent student of politics
that docs not read it.
The reason of this is. that our best minds
are getting tired of the shallow frivolities
of sensational literature, and demand a
magazine that elevates the standard of
popular reading in this country. Science
is the great agency of improvement in this
age, private and public, individual, social,
professional, and industrial. In its irre
sistible progress it touches everywhere,
and affects everybody. It gives law to the
material interests of the community, and
modifies its ideas, opinions, and beliefs, so
that all have an interest in being informed
of its advancement. Those, therefore,
who desire to know what is going on in
the world of thought in these stirring
times, when new knowledge is rapidly ex
tending, and old errors are giving way,
will find that they can only keep informed
by subscribing for
Th Popular Science Monthly."
