C., is of the i opinion that a rupture of the present j friendly relations between England and j this country is extremely probable. This opinion is based upon the fact that three British cruisers at that port have been or dered to sail on June 15 for Behring sea, to protect the English schooners which are engaged there in catching seals. It is not probable, however, that the local press of Victoria knows moan about the matter. If a rupture between England and this coun try were imminent, the fact would be known in London and Washington before it would be known in Victoria. The authorities at Washington do not ap prehend any trouble with England. Sev eral naval vessels have been ordered to Behring sea, but they are not of a kind to cope with the British vessels which are re ported to have been ordered there. The purpose of sending them there is to prevent the illegal taking of seals in Behring sea. The Alaska Commercial Company alone has the right t o capture seals in American waters, and the government is bound to protect it in its right. The company’s lease expires next spring, however, and it may not be able to get it renewed. It is possible that England does not in tend to concede exclusive jurisdiction' of Behring sea to this country. Canadians are now engaged iu taking seals in that sea, and they insist that they have the right to do so. It is true that when this country purchased Alaska of Russia the understand ing was that it obtained jurisdiction of Behring sea. Russia undertook to transfer such jurisdiction. In the treaty which con tains the evidence of the purchase it is clearly stated that Russia transfers Alaska and jurisdiction of Behring sea to this country. The question which arises, however, is whether Russia bail any recognized right in Behring sea that other nations did not have. If she had not, thon she conveyed no such rigot to this country. It is certain that fris government clai ms jurisdiction of Bering sea. The President, m a proclamation a few weeks ago, stated this claim very clearly. Is it the purpose of the government to insist upon it if it is resisted? That is the question that is now being asked. Tue impression appears to be that neither England nor auy other European country will admit that this country ha; exclusive jurisdiction of Behring sea. The soa i; an immense one, too large, iu fact, to be treated as if it were au inland body of water. From present indications the Bhring sea qestion will soon command a good deal of attention from this country and England, but it is hardly probable that it will lead to a rup ture between them. The Baltimore Sensation. The Rev. H. Greenfield Schorr, assistant of St. Paul’s parish, Biltimore, an account of whose suicide was published in our dis patches on Monday last, was either insane or wholly unfit for the performance of th'e sacred duties of a minister of the gospel. The most charitable conclusion is that he was not in his right mind. He kept sec ret the fact that he was the son of an humble cobbler, who, by the way, appears to be a very worthy ma'ti, because he wa3 ashamed of his father. He permitted it to b3 under stood that his family was a prominent one in Central Maryland, and it is now known that he possessed a remarkable faculty for lying. He was quite a favorite with women, be cause of his pleasant maimers and excellent conversational powers. In the letters which he sent to the New York World a day or two before his death, he declared that ho was about to commit suicide because .Mrs. Margaret M. Smith, a wealthy widow of Baitim ire, refused to marry him after hav ing promised to do so. It is alleged, h >w ever, that he was entangled with three other worn -n, one of whom he had promised to marry. He certainly acted the part of a coward in sending the letters he had received from Mrs. Smith, together with a photograph of her, to a newspaper, and stating at the same time that it was because of her conduct that he was about to take his life. Mrs. Smith is about 40 years of age. She is rich and moves in Baitim ire’s be3t society. She is a daughter of the late Capt. Richard Fitzgerald, who wasa mem ber of the firm or Fbzgerald, Booth <fc Cos., aud is a niece of Mr. Washington Booth. Her letters to the Rev. Mr. Schorr show that she is a refined and lovable woman, an i that she is in no respect res.ionsible for bis death. She told him that sue loved him, but could not marry him, and the reasons she gave for her determination were very satisfactory ones. She toll him that there was too gren a difference in tbeir agts, she being 40 aud he 29. His violent conduct on several occa sions when he visited her alarms 1 her aud led her to believe that she could never be happy with him. Her iet’e-s are suuh as any honest woman might write to a man who had gained her rasp vet and love. There is nothing in her published le.ters of which Mrs. Smith has cause to be ashamed, but the act of the Rev. Mr. Schorr ii giv ing them to the press, with a statement in tended to fasten the responsibility for his death upon her, shows that in refusing to marry him she acted wisely and escaped a life of misery. T e Ladies’ Memorial Association of Fredericksburg, Ya., is making a special ellort to replace the wooden p >st<, which mark the graves of the 1,800 southern sol diers who are buried ia the confederate cemetery there, with new head boards.

Our dispatches yesterday leave little, if any, doubt that the Sioux Indians will almost ali sigu the agreement to accept the proposition of t e government to sell 11.- 005,000 acres of their reservation, in accord ance with the terms of the bill pissed by the last congress. The commissioners which have this matter in charge are at present in conference with the Sioux chiefs at Pierre, Dak. The agreement to be bind ing must be signed by two-thirds of all the Sioux Indians. The Sioux reservation is an immense re gion, containing about 22,000,000 acres. It is bounded by the Niobrara river, in Ne braska, on the south, the Cannon Ball river, in North Dakota, on the north, the 103d meridian on the west and the Missouri rivbr on the east. It is about 325 miles long and 140 miles wide. This reservation has been an obstruction to civilization fir a long time. No rail roads ara permitted to be built through it and none but Indians can occupy its lands. Last year a government commission under took to get the consent of the tribes to sell a portion of i , but failed. Just before Pres dent Arthur went out of office he ordered the reservation to be thrown open to settlement-. His administration was of the opinion that the Indians had no title to it. Mr. Cleveland's ad mi ms tra. ion took a different view, and those who settled upon it under Mr. Arthur’s proclamation were ordered off of it. The commission which undertook to get the consent of the Indians to sell a portion of this resorva ion last year was authorized to offer 50 cents an acre for 11,000,030 acres. The Indians considered that pries too low and refused to sell. Congress, at its last session, increased the price to $1 25 per acre for all that may be entered by settlers within throe years after the opening of the reservation, 75 cants for that which may be entered during the next two yeirs and 50 cents for that which may ba entered during the next five year3. Of cours i the settlers will have to pay these prices. All the lauds not entered at the end of the last mentioned period the government agrees to take at 50 cents an acre. The Sioux have n > use fnr the immense body of laud in their reservation. They do not cultivate much of it, and it is not now rich in g imo. They want money, and the money they will get frem the sale of the part of their reservation which the govern ment has offered to take will make them comparatively rich. The prospec. is that the signatures of the Indians will be obtained within a very short time, and then the lands will be opened to settlement by a proclamation by the President. There will be no need for any further legislation by congress with regard to them. No doubt there will be a great rush to them because some of them are very desirable. Land hungry people will have a better chance to get a good homes ead in the new territory than there was in Oklahoma. It is six time; as large as Oklahoma, and, it is alleged, much more fertile. Ths climate is rather against it, but it is noticeable that cold weather does not seem t> discourage immigration. Mere immigrant; have gone to the northwest within the last few years than to any other section of country. The Indians are being crowded into nar rower limits in all parts of the country in which they still are. If they do not be come civilized and adopt the customs and methods that prevail among civilized people, their numbers will steadily grow less uutil they finally disappear. It is probable that it will not be many years before the Sioux will be ready to part with the greater part of the remaining portion of their reserva tion. The Rev. J. C. Meyers of State Line, Ind., is a good mau and a good preacher, but that fact did not save him from being struck by lightning. Last Sunday he filled the pulpit of the Christian church in New Liberty, Fountain county,lndiana. While Mr.Mevers was preaching a blinding bolt of lightning descended, destroying the church chimney. Following along the stovepipe, which ran around the room, it crushed the two stoves into fragments and tore up the floor. After leaving the chimney the bolt separated, a id a portion of it ran down the chandelier over the pulpit, striking Mr. Meyers In the back of the bead. He turned a somersault, fell heavily to tho floor, and was thought to ted?ad. He lay in an unconscious condi tion for more than a half hour. On the back of Mr. Meyers’ bead, where the light ing struck him. is a bruised place about the size of a silver dollar. His face appears burnt, and his sight is nearly destroyed. Iu future Mr. Myers will probably give the New Liberty church a wide birth. The lightning there seems to bo too familiar with the pulpit. The prospect is that some interesting bills will bo introduced at the summer session of the Ge rgia legislature. It was announced a few weeks ago that Mr. Atkinson would introduce one for the establishment of an industrial school for girls, and now it is stated that Mr. McDonald, of Ware county, will introduce mns for compulsory education. Probable Mr. McDonald was eucouratted in his purpose by the recant ac tion of tho New York legislature in passing what was intended to boa very strict law on this subject. New York has hal a com pulsory education law fir some time, but it has not .seemed to work vory well. That, however, is not conclusive evidence that one would not work well in Georgia, Some of the preachers have caused soaa tions lately. One of th sin was the Riv. Mr. Schorr, of Baltimore, who committed suicide because, ns he alleged, a worn in wouldn’t marry him, and wuo, previous t> his doa’h, sent bis si 1* of the story t> the Now York World. Another is n Pennsyl vania clergy mau who took the pulpit against prohibition. Others are Revs. Fred erick Bell aud T. E. Foster, tho former of England, and the latter an O iioan, who lately engaged in a fight in Coluinbis, O. It is to be feared that those reverend gen tlemen havo not *<t worthy examples for their flocks to follow. Tho republican organs are congratulating Rhode Island that a g ivernor of lhal state has at last been elected. Owing to a law requiring candidates for governor to receive a majority of the entire vote oa it before being elected, there was no choice last April, and the election devolved up in the legislature, which has J Ist cnosen the re publican can lidate. The republican org iis Deg'.ect to state, however, tuat the repub lican rt-c ived many votes less than the democratic ca ul date. The people seem to i ccupy a back ■ at in Rhode I-land.

There is a law in Jersey (the isle where the Lily grew) that every man is liable to military duty, aud must turn out once a year to show uimself as a soldier. There is nothing si war like as a militia s ddier iu a time nf p_-aee. The bandmaster was an exception to the rule I have spoken of above, us governing musicians. He must iiave been chock full of the divine afflatus, because he was in debt to the butcher, the ha er, the tailor, the public house, and every tradesman in the piace. a most. Tht..gs were looking verv blue for him when the time of the annual t r lout arrived. Tne bills wero coming in very lively, and a happy idea struck him. Those men hated to go through tie military business.;He went to them individually,and said something to this effect: "You’ve got a little bill against me." "A big bill, you mean. ’ ‘ Well, that’s all right; a bill. Now, you don’t want to march in the ranks of this parade, do you?" "No." "Y'ou say nothing about my bill and I’ll put you in the band.” The prop js.tion was accepted all around, and when the day came the band was sixty strong, nut there were only four real instruments. The bandmaster called the band together and ad dressed his creditors, who were all supplied with dummy instruments: "Now, look here! When you're marching vou must puff out your cheeks and pretend, but—don’t play, don’t make a sound. But when you see an officer coming or you are marching nast, blow for all you are worth and never mind the tune." It Cooled Him Off. From the Washington Post. Andre Matteson. who has been a journalistic writer in Chicago ever since the day before the lake came there, never becomes angry. He hops rigut over anger and becomes mad. One ■ lay several years ago. when a collector named Mulhearn, or something like it, had pestered him beyond endurance. Mr. Matteson rushed into t’ e office of K S. Trude, the attorney for the Times, and said: "Look here, Trude, I want to know some thing. This infernal fellow Mulbearn has both ered me until I can’t stand it any longer. Ho comes to the office and annoys me so that i can’t work, and he goes to my house and drives my family nearly crazy. What I want to know is whether there is any law aguin3t my taking a club and smashing his head if he persists in pestering me." Mr. 'Trude calmly took down a copy of the Illinois statutes, turned to the index, and con sumed a good deal of time looking up and down the column of M’s “What are you looking for?" asked Matteson, considerably cool9d by his long wait. "Y’ou sa.i his name was Mulnearn, did you not?” “Y'es." “Weil,” said the lawyer, seriously, "I don’t find any such name in the stale laws 'and I pre sume. tiiarefore. there is nothing unlawful in the killing of a man named Mulr.earn. Still,” he continued in a grave, business like manner, "perhaps you would better not do anytning abo t it until 1 look over some of the common law autnorities. They may mention Mulh -am. ’ By this time Mr. Matteson was calm enough to resume his work, and, with court.y tbar-ks for Trude’a counsel, he returned to his own office. "Whenever Matteson becomts so mad he can't work,” explained Mr Trude afterward, "he comes to my office and asks some sucu absurd question, and I always treat it in dead earnest. It. seems to do him good; and the fun niest part of it ad is neither of us ever treats the matter us a joke, even after it is all over with." All Kinds of Osculations. From th? OH City Derri-.ic.

Since the termination of the dynamite patent In 1881, there has been immeuse industry in the invention of high explosives, and there are now more than 300 varieties. A dynamite cartridge 1 foot in length takes only 1-24,000 o£ a second to explode. Some people in Michigan made onions pay this year. A girl up in Dorr raised 350 bushels, which she traded for an organ. Her father raised ,-everal thousand bushels, held them for a raise and then was tickled when he, at last, received $S for the Jot. I.v Denmark the police are trying an experi ment of some originality to suppress drunken ness. A man found drunk is carried to his own residence, and the keeper of the saloon where he bought his last glass is obliged to pay the expenses of the ride, which come high. The British Bible Societv, of which the Earl of Horrowby is president, reports au ex penditure for 1838 of £226.161 and receipts of £212,615. again 't £225.663 for 1837. The distri bution of \ lbles also fell 500,000, from 1.0C0.00J to 3,500,000. They were in 237 languages. The French papers announce the arrival in Paris of two lions anti two lionesses tamed by the "celebrated American colonel, Daniel Boone."

One of the most fashionable of Philadelphia physicians always kisses his hand when waving farewell to his wealthiest lady patients; but fotse of them were comparing notes the other day. and found that for visits when be kissed his hand be charged $lO, while for others he charged only $5. Rhode Island’ fishermen are unhappy, and the glutted condition of the market is the cause. At a meeting this week one of them re ported that he made only $33 out of a 4 000- oarrel catch. Another, who sent two barrels, e ,ch containing 210 pounds, of fish to this city, received m return, by mail, two silyer quarters aud a dime. ■Workmen digging for the new 6ewers at Bur lington, Vt., came upon a group of three skele tons, supposed to be the remains of soldiers buried during the war of 1812. After the exca vation had made further progress six more ske etons were found, two iron buttons with "L. S.” on them, an old coin, a searf pin and a small green glass bottle. Ir s a mystery to me," said a New Y ork dentist of large practice recently, “that a w Oman w-ill make up her face to come to a dent ist's chair. Yet many of them do. Hardly a day passes that I don't have some women in here rouged, powdered and penciled to the last degree. Y’ou would thins they would hardly care to face the strong, cruel light which I em pl >y in my work, or my own close, if involun tary scrutiny, but they don’t seem to mind either.

The Queen Dowager Marik of Bavaria, who died the other day, was born on Oct. 15, 1825, the daughter of the late Prince William of Prussia. She was married at Beriin by procuration Oct. 5. and in person at Munich Oct, IC. 1842, to the Prince Royal, afterward King Maximilian II of Bavaria. She was Queen of Bavaria till the year I*o4, when King Maximilian died, and th ) late King Ludwig II ascended the throne. Sna never rook a prominent place in politics, being contented to live and assist her husband in his rulership. She has been well called the "Mother of Sorrows. ’ Her children were Kiug Ludwig, who became King of Bavaria in 1864, and who commute I suicide by drowning in lake Starn berg on Whit Monday of the year !Bs6, aud Otto, the present maniac King of Bavaria, who is confined at Nymphenburg, while his uncle, the Regent Luitpoid, is regent of the kingdom.

Scotland, was born in the adjoining parish of Assynt, town ship of Eiphin, Sutherlandshire, on Nov. 24, 1763, says an English contempo rary, so that he is now in his 106th year. He is stid "as straight as a lamp post." He says he gets up in summer between 5 and 6a. m. and goes to bed at 9p. m. In winter he r:s?satß a. m. and retires at 10 p. m. “I had,” he says, "to drop the croft, as I could not cultivate it at last, but I still cut my own fire (peats), and I carried home on my back a cresiful of peats (eighty-four poundsi yesterday." Continuing, he states: "I take porridge and milk for break fast, as I always did throughout my life; pota toes and l-e. rings and fish and mutton (salt) when l can get it." While in this humor he ob served that he had grown foniof tea. which was unknown in his young days, and that he was very heavy on caewing "thin twist." The senior officer of the British navy, both as regards rank and age, is Admiral Sir Provo Wallis,who was a lieutenant on board the Shan non when she captured the American frigate Chesapeake on June 1. 1813. Both the captain and the first lieutenant having been placed hors cle combat early in the engagement, he assumed the command and won the victory in that me morable action. Born in 4791, he is now 98 years of age. a:rl although bedridden has retained all his m -nt.il faculties. He holds the rank of admiral of the fleet, which is equivalent to that of a field marshal in the army, possesses the grand cross of the bath and a host of war medals won in the numerous wars in which he Las taken part. Owm< to his exceptionally brilliant services he has. notwithstanding his great age, been retained on tne active list of (lag officers of the navy and draws his full sea pav. He lives in a picturesque old country house near Colchester with his almost equally aged wife. The new translucent substance intended as a guest.tute for glass has been satisfactorily adopted in some of the public buildings of Lon don, and various advantages are claimed for it, among these being such a degree of pliancy that it may be bent backward and forward like leather, and be subjected to very considerable tensile straiu with impunity; it is almost as translucent as giais, and of a pleasant amber color, varying in shads from very light golden to pale brown. The basis of the material is a web of fine iron wire, with warp and weft threads annul onp-tweifth inch apart, this being inclosed, lwe a fly in amber, in a sneet of trans lucent varnish, ot which tne base is linseed oil. If, -re is on resin or gum in the v&rnisb, and, once having become dry. it is capable of stand ing heat aud damp without undergoing any change, neither hardening nor becom.ng sticky. Briefly the manufacture is accomplished by dip ping the sheets edgewise into deep tanks of varnish, and then allowing tne coating which they thus receive to dry in a warm atmosphere. It requires somewhat more than a dozen of these dips to bring these sheets to the required degree of thickness, and, when this has lieen accom plished, the material is stored for several weeks to thoroughly set. A place where MONET is useless is Pitcairn, an island in the South Pacific, it has an area of less than throe miles, and was settled about a century ago by the leaders in the historic mutiny on board the English ship Biutity. There were seven mutineers, and they were ac compauied to Pitcairn by six other men and twelve women, nativeiof the Island of Tahiti.
