TWO MILLIONS WASTED. So: ud Figures aa to the Coat of Fireworks and Proeenlou. [From the Illustrated Weekly.] When it is remembered that both of the ti*9 great factions hold numerous meetings every week in the large cities during m political canvass, it will not seem strange that very extensive pyro­ technic attractions are needed to attract the thousands of people required to make the gatherings sufficiently large and imposing--imposing often in a dcH}I>V ponse. What with Roman can­ dles, Bky-rockets. parachute rockets, re­ volving rockets, •4 illuminating * floral hontb-shells," " campaign salute-shells," "mines of stars and serpents," "deto­ nating cannon salnf^H." " eilver foun- taina,'* "colored fires," and the hundred other designs which go to make up a first-class display, the cost of a political meeting nowadays is considerable. These fireworks vary in price from $1 to $18 a dozen, and twelve dozen do not go very far. The largest outlays oh fireworks of course occur in years of Presidential wiectimm. Of late years the expendi­ ture, even at those important seasons, km decreased considerably. Very ex­ travagant displays were made in New York city -under the Tweed regime. In 1868, for example, the Democrats spent $10,000 cn fireworks for one prccassion. The largest amount spent this year on a single occasion was $4,000, expended on the great Democratic torchlight proces­ sion in New York last Thursday evening. The Democrats in this city have not devoted much more than $10,000 to all their parades during this campaign, and the Republicans have expended little mow) than $5,000. V But the cost of fireworks only repre­ sents a portion of the total outlay for f>olitioal prooessions. Every man in ine with a cap, cape and torch represent* an expenditure of $1.25, so . that a parade of 30,000 men will cost about $87,500 for equipments alone. In the 40,000,000 of our popu­ lation there are probably more than 10,000,000 boys and men capable cf marching in these pageants. If, in the course of a Presidential campaign, one individual in every twenty of these 10,000,000--and this is a moderate esti­ mate--takes part in a procession of this kind, the expenditure for torches and uniforms would reach $626,000. And if to this we add the cost of the fire­ works, the total would probq£>ly exceed $2,000,000= Competition has sensibly decreased the once-large profit realized on the man­ ufacture of fireworks. The goods are manufactured in the suburbs of New York and at Greenville, N. J. Ordinary fire-crackers, which are produced exclu­ sively in China, are the only fireworks imported. The price of these is largely enhanced by the duty ($1 in gold) im­ posed by the Custom House on every box brought into this country. There are six large dealers in fireworks in New York, with an invested capital of a)*out $200,0(K), who ship goods to all parts of the country for political clubs and for Fourth of July celebrations. Great improvements have been made of late in the manufacture of fireworks. Most of them are now made by ma­ chinery only recently introduced, and many new varieties have been lately put upon the market. America is consid­ ered to lead the world, excepting only Chi^a, in pyrotechnical scienoo. The Land of Revolutions. Late advices from the City of Mexico furnish the appended news : The politi­ cal situation is becoming much com­ plicated. Ex-Chief Justice Iglesias ha* proclaimed himself provisional Presi­ dent of the republic, and located his seat of government at Leon, in the State of Guanajuato, the Legislature and Gov­ ernor of which sustain him. A portion Of the procession escorting Iglesias to Leon attacked some American mis§ion- aries with the cry of ** Death to Protest­ ants 1" The missionaries barricaded themselves in a house until the police rescued them. Two ex-Judges of the Supreme Court and several deputies have joined Iglesias. He has established a regular Cabinet and appointed Min­ isters of War. Foreign Relations, etc. Troops are marching upon Guanajuato, and the flight >f Ijrlesias wiih^his Govern­ ment is expected in a very short time. No other State has seconded Iglesias' movement in Guanajuato. Lerdo de Tejada is receiving congratulatory dis­ patches and offers of support from all parts of the country. Gomez Pulacio, former Commissioner at Washington, and Alas and Ramirez, Judges of the Supreme Court, are in close imprisonment on a oharge of con­ spiracy. f Four thons ind ronunoiados took possession of Apizaco where the Puebla railroad branches off from the Mexico and Vera Cruz lailway, interrupting all travel and communication between those two cities. On the 12th advices reached Mexico that Apizaco has been evacuated by the rswolutionists upon the approach of the Government troops. There was some fighting, but no particulars are yet reoeived. It was hoped the railway communications would be re established. Meantime a mail line was established by private individuals, with postage rates at $2 per ounce. Gen. Diaz con­ tinues to hold Oaxaca. Mr, IToster, United States Minister; has arrived at Mexico. of the Trinity, and that their presence preserves the people from danger by water and flood. So far as we can learn, the flesh of all pigeons is good for food. It is nourish­ ing and heating in its nature, and for that reason well suited as diet for con­ valescents. The flesh of our wood- pigeons is the finest flavored of all species in America, and by connoisseurs is esteemed superior to that of any other bird. In kitchen parlance the pigeon is considered as game, whether wild or domestic, the flesh of the latter being fine and delicate. THE SEW COM1,BESS, Political THE EASTERN IMBROtiLIO. STATES. Alabama..

The Attitude of Bossia and Kogland--Will UM LaUer Sight? [from the New York Herald.] The report that Turkey has uncon­ ditionally agreed to a conference is not extraordinary; but the consent may come too late. It has been evident to all the world that the irritation of the English Government over Turkey's ob­ stinacy in declining a conference has be«n extreme. The Moslems for their part see that Russia means war as the j ^forid*1* "' alternative of Turkey refusing condi­ tions which they look on as impossible. Lord Boaconsfield's speeoh'they took it committed England to their side in the inevitable struggle, and hence a confer­ ence presented itself to them as a need­ less piece of humiliation to a nation will­ ing to meet its avowed enemy at the cimeter's edge and sure of a powerful ally. By dint of persistent threatening, after sweet words had failed, England has, it appears, brought the Porte to its senses and its knees. We cannot be uery hopeful about the con­ ference now in sight. England wants it for various reasons. She would, of aourse, be glad to secure peaoe thereby, but if she cannot she may endeavor to put Russia wrong in the eyes of Europe. She may angle for the moral support of France ; she may be able to place Italy definitely ; she may round Austria, and, if she cannot get much comfort irom her or from Germany, she may test the strength of the triple imperial alliance. She gains time. Beyond these tempo­ rizing advantages it would be vain to forecast. The temper of the main dis­ putants--England and Russia--is not encouraging to lovers of peace. . Either Russia must abate the demands in favor of the Christian Slavs in Turkey which she has announced herself willing to enforce with the sword, or else England must recede, with a long backward bound, from her definition of the "in­ dependence and integrity" of the Otto­ man empire to admit them. If the con­ ference meets there will evidently be little use in pleading that the Russian demands are impossible. Russia has announced that the reforms she asks are just and necessary, and that calling them impossible is simply compelling her to enforce them. It is diffioult to foresee a peaceful issue from this. Will England fight, then? She has already well advanced her preparations for war. The announcement is made and not denied that if Russia invades Bulgaria or brings her Cossacks to the Danube England will at once occupy Constantinople and " defend it from all attack." This, it is argued, will not in­ volve her in war unless in a certain well- defined contingency. It would leave her free to supply the Turks who would have to do the fighting with arms, money and officers. It is h clever plan to fol­ low Russia's lead in the Servian insur­ rection and make war upon the " lim­ ited liability" plan. But will it work ? It i ailed of a great part of its object in Russia's hand--namely, of winning the Servian campaign. Jc succeeded in another--namely, making Russia a fierce unit for war on its own account. What the Servian is to the Turkish sol­ dier the Turk is to the Russian. In the same degree the "limited liability" plan would be likely to fail England. On the other hand, the English Govern­ ment can command the support of the nation's resources at one time as well as another. Her statesmen, therefore, we may infer, would, if they had a pretext for war, declare it as soon as Russia struck a blow. In the conference, if all else fails her, she may s*ek this pretext. Complexion of the Forty-fifth Congress. I From the New York Tribune.] The exact complexion of the Forty- fifth Congress is not yet known, official returns not having been received from all the districts. The latest reports, how­ ever, the Democrats a majority of fifteen, whioh may be increased to about twenty. The representation by States in the House, according to the latest re­ ports, is compared below with the Fort jr- woond, Forty-third, and Forty-fourth Congresses. In the .Forty-second Con­ gress the Republican majoritv was twenty-two; in the Forty-thircl Con­ gress it was 105. The Democratic majority in the present Congress is seven ly- XLIf. R. D. XLnr. XLIY.

"New Hampshire will elect 3 Congressmen in March, 1877. ttThe Colorado RepubUcans claim that the member elected to the unexpired term of the XLlVth Congress was also elected to the XLVth CongresB. Omitting Louisiana, the Republican majority in the Senate after March 4 will be six. If the Republicans carry the Legislature of that State, as they claim to have done, and elect two United States Senators, their majority wi:l be eight. If the new Senators, are Demo­ crats, the Republican majority will be four.

Langheituer, 74 years old, was held to answer the charge of stealing an over­ coat. Lwgheimer is the man described by Dickeus in his " American Notes." The novt list speaks of him as he saw him in the Eastern Penitentiary over thirty years ago, a picture of forlorn affliction and distress of mind. Lang­ heituer has served nine terms in the Eastern Penitentiary. The reforma­ tory teachings of that institution seem to have little effect upon the stolid Dutchm'in, as upon gaining his liberty he is always upon the lookout for something new. He has occupied the same cell every term, and in one corner in a lot of earth he lays out a garden which looks much like a grave, and in which he takes especial pride. Majorities.. 16 R 77 D • Inc.uding 3 Independents. In the present Senate there is one va­ cancy, only ene Senator from Louisiana having been admitted. Colorado's ad­ mission as a State will increase the membership of the Senate by two and the House by one. The next Senate will then contain 76 members and the House 293 memt)ers. The membership of the pres­ ent House also has been increased to 293 by the admission of Colorado. GIJODDABTH WOODS, near Llandudno, Wales, has been the scene of an extraor­ dinary poaching affray. Fifteen keep­ ers, bent on capturing a gang of poach­ ers, hid in a gun room, but the poachers, obtaining information of the trap laid for them, detached a firing party, which kept up a fusilade from behind a wall on the gun room, while their comrades bagged the game. The poachers kept their would-be captors in confinement for an hour. Three were wounded ; the xemainder escaped by heaping up tables and furniture for protection. A Chapter on Pigeons. In olden times the flesh of pigeons was considered a preventive of the plague, and all other pestilential dis­ eases; also a cure for trembling and palsv; and the superstitious believed the 'use of it to be of great benefit to near-sighted people. The flesh was al­ ways {riven as a restorative after severe illnt ss, and thought quite as much of, for the pur post?, as " beef tea" is at the present time. Yet to-day, in some for­ eign countries, pigeons are not consid­ ered fit for food. In parts of Russia they are reve *ed as em blems of the Holy Ghost. Iii Venice they are proteges of the city. They are fed every day at 2 o'clock; bemjj 'called together by a din­ ner-be'1, and no one is alf§wed to inter­ fere with them. Asy person found ill- treating them is arrested and fined, or, if an <|ld offender, is imprisoned. It is belie ved by the Vieneae that the«f pig­ eons are in some way connected with the prosperity of the city--that they fly three tdmaa round it each day, in honor SPADES are trumps again in Paris, just as much as in the days of Hausmann under the empire. The shovel and the pickaxe are seen everywhere cleaning away rubbish, to charm the eyes of vis­ itors to the great Exhibition in 1878, which, tiie Frenoh hope, will eclipse all its predecessors. STANDARD REMEDIES.'--It is a fact well known to ail our readers that a few pro prietary medioines have achieved a repu tatiou as standard remedies, and occupy a place in every well regulated house­ hold, almost as universally as the Btole and the family almanac. Foremost among these is the Merchant's Gargling Oil, manufactured by the well-linown <?ompany of thit name at L»ckp<>rr, N. Y.--a sovereign remedy for man and beast, and one which has wrouaht hun­ dreds of well attested tures. We m-ed hardly say here what the pttrons of the Blade fully understand--that we do not make a practice of praising indiscrimi­ nately, the numerous compounds offered to the public, but since we tie lie ve the "Gargling Oil" to be a ca'efully com­ pounded and efficacious remedy, we do not he-itate to say as much.-- Toledo (Ohio) Rlnd*>..
