A Western Man Who Offers Two Patri- otic Relics to the Government. Prof. Baird, the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, receives many unique letters in the mass of correspondence that comes to him every day from all parts of the country. Some of his correspondents adopt the phonographic method in writing the name of the Institution, and in this Way the protessor finds that he #s at the head of the ‘Smiths’ Onion Institute.” Recently Prof. Baird received the following letter from a man in a smal. village in a Western State, which shows that in that section of the country the memorials of patriotic deeds are appreciated by one man, at least: “I own and have in my possion a most highly priced Relic for the 8.

The Watson Medal Presented by the Academy of Sciences to Dr. B. As ‘The National Academy of Sciences held a special Seasion last evening at the National Museum. Prof. O. P. Marsh, the president, in recognition of the importance of the occasion, appeared on the Platform in full evening dress, With him sat Prof. ‘Simon Newcomb, Prot. Asaph Hall, Gen. Francis A. Walker and Prot. W.G. Farlon, ‘The event of ‘the evening was the presentation for the first time of the Watson gold medal. President Marsh, in bestowing the medal, spoke for some minutes, referring at first tothe three medals within the gift of the academy for astro- nomical work. The Watson medal, founded by a late member of the academy, was to be given as a tion of original labors in the way of astro. omfal work. "Ht was Gorn na tae eons et any country, and was to be awarded once in two ydars. ‘In looking over the fleld, he said the cominittes found among the members of the academy a man who had done so much original ‘Work as to distinguish him above all others. This Was Dr. B. A. Gould, of Cambridge. Dr. Gould, he Said, Was so famous for his recent work in ‘the southern hemisphere that many were Ukely to forget the great services he had rendered to astronomical science in earlier years. He gave a rapid review of his work as an observer, and in connection with the coast survey up to 1870, when: he was invited tothe Argentine Republic by the Argentine government to establish an observatory there, For fifteen years he had devoted his life to the study of the southern skies, his observations and the results being recorted in nineteen Volumes. To show the vastness of Dr. Gould's work, Mr. Marsh stated that the work of cata- loguibg and. cl the stars of the northern hemisphere was undertaken twenty years ago DY several observatories and was yet incomplete. Dr. Gould alone, beginning the Work later, had accomplished for the southern hemisphere ‘the Work these observatories had undertaken for the northern. For this great work, far beyond that of any other man, the committee awarded to Dr. Gould the first Watson medal. Dr. Gould was then called from his seat to the platform, and there received the gold medal and the purse con- taining $100 in gold that accompanies it ‘as a re- Ward,” Mr. Marsh said, «for his vast services.” Dr. Gould, who was évidently somewhat embar- assed by the encomlums passed upon his work, but, collecting himself, made a happy response tO President Marsh’s presentation speech, ‘There was, he said, no body of men, no tribunal or au- thority from whom he would’esteem such a pre- sentation so h ily. Whatever might be his for- tune to accomplish in the future, he trusted that At would be such that the academy would have no reason Uo be ashamed of its award that evening, Dr. Gould referred with feeling to his former int mate personal relations with Prof. Watson, the founder of the medal, and said he referred with pride to the fact that Prof. Watson’s nomination to the academy originated with himself. He deemed it somewhat strange that he should now be the recipient of a medal founded by bis friend, In relation to his work in the southern hemisphere, Dr. Gould said that what had been accomplished ‘there had been made possible by the generous Buy Jogi of the Argentine government, Temainder of the evening was devoted to the reading of obituary memoirs.

Prof. Asaph Hall, of the Naval Observatory in this city, has published in Scvence a communica- tion containing an interesting table to show the power of a voter. Prof. Hall say In the general election of 1884 the total number of votes cast in the country Was 10,048,061. The number of Sena- tors is 76, and the number of Representatives is 325. With these numbers and the total vote of each State in this election, the following table has. been computed, in which the tignres of the col- umins give the relative power of votes in the differ- ent States: Senatorial | Repres power. ative power. Connecticut, Delaware... Florida. ..7 Georgia | Ilinols. 22 Indiana | Michigan. Minnesota, Mississippi Missourl...22 Nebraska. jevada, . Hampshire. jew York... N. Carolina.) ont Oregon Pennsylvania, Rhode Island South Carolinal ‘Tennessee ‘Texas . Vermont -. Virginia. West Virginia, Wisconsin... 41 In many of the States the conditions are such that a full vote fs rarely polled. ‘The smallest per- centage of voters to males over 21 years was 1 Rhode Island, where it was less than 43 per cent. In Massachusetts and Mississippi the percentage ‘was about 60. In Florida it was more than 90 per cent. Notwithstanding this defect, the table shows very well how political power is distributed among the voters with respect to the legislative and ex— ecutive branches of the General Government. It will be seen that the distribution of this power 1s much more untversal in the House of Representa- Uves, a8 Was Intended; and this fact will evi- dently be a Source of power to this House in its conflicts with the other branch of the legislature. ‘On the other hand, the difference of the Senatorial power of voters fn the States has become very marked. Thus, a single voter in the State of Ne- vada has as muich Senatorial power as 91 voters in New York, and 4 voter in Delaware. 39 times as much as one in New York, and 9 times as much as one in Kentucky. The New England States have more than 9 times the power of New York. Inad- dition to this, in some of the States the Senators areelected by a minority of the voters Where political power 18 0 unequally divided, the respect for the legislative body will depend largely on its ‘wisdom and the fairness of its conduct toward the whole country. But it is doubtful whether such a condition is permanent, soe Mr. Blaine in Chicago. ‘HE DECLINES TO SEE REPORTEKS—HE 18 TO BE IN- ‘VITED BY THE BANKRES TO SPEAK.

During the day United States Senator Farwell, Congressman Dunham and Chair- man Jones, of the Iitinois Republican State Cen- tral Committee, sent up their cards, and, desired tosee Mr. Blaine, Walker Blaine met them in the rotunda of the hotel, and explained bis father’s need of rest, and the callers withdrew. Laterin the day Mr. Blaine received a number of personal friends, but positively declined to see reporters or tobe taterd ‘on any subject, political or otherwise. Emmons Blaine stated that his father would probably remain in Chicago several days, and perhaps a Week. He needed rest. at present, atter bis long journey, but to-day would quite likely receive all who called upon him. It was an- nounced to the sons of Mr. Blaine that the Dank- ers of the city proposed togive a banquet during thelr father’s stay tn Chicago, and would request from him some expression of bis views upon the financial and business prospects of the country.

NO DISCORD IN ARTHUR'S ADMINISTRATION. ‘Speaking of Arthur's administration, Mr. Brew- ‘ster said there was no discord or contention in the hiswory of that administration. The firm, just, and peaceful qualities of its chief gave tone tothe acts and utterances of his advisers. From the first, between him and the representatives of the nation there was established a sense of high re- spect.
