Cable dispatches report considerable in ternal disorders in Mozambique. The queen’s war minister will probably prescribe a little spring medicine in the shupe of gun powder and dynamite capsules. Mr. Andrew Carnegie Bays he is worth *111,000,000 to $35,000,000. and proposes to spend it all before he dies in works of charity. Ilia largest contributions to •‘charitable’’ purposes heretofore have gone to keep alive the decrepit “grand old party” elephant. At a recent meeting of the Chioago city council several of the aldermen present were accompanied to the chamber by bailiffs. to Bee that they did not sueak out of a back door and skip to Canada. They were under arrest for “boodls” transactions. Is it possible to imagine anything more humiliating to a city’s pride? A New York paper* prints a sensational story of the critical illness of Col. Daniel 8. l.imont, and says he had to be "brought home from Florida as soon as lie oould stand the trip.” CoL Lapjout may be ill now, bnt be was not “brought home from Florida” at all. On his way to New York he stopped for a couple of days in this city, and ap peared in very fair health and possessed of a good appetite. * Congresjii.an Harter, It appears, has too little confldenoe in the weight of his words and sometimes attempts to demonstrate physically what his expressions mean. Dur iug the free silver debate in the House Tuesday he used the expression, “they take you by the neok,” and suiting the action to the words, grasped Congressman McKaig about the neck and shook him violently. Harter was arguing against free coinage, and McKaig felt the strength of his earnest ness. The dangers cf using that wonderful anaesthetic of receut discovery, cocaine, were exemplified in a Philadelphia hospital one day this week. The drug was applied locally for the purpose of producing an anaejthesis preparatory to a surgical opera tion for cancsr. Instead of producing the desired and anticipated result the patieut became violently insane for a period of several hours during which time he at tacked several persons. The physicians called it “cocaine intoxication." It is said In Wall street that the undi vided profits of the Standard oil trust will amount to the very attractive sum of $20,- 030,000. If the trust is really dissolved, as has been alleged, this will be divided be tween the shareholders. For the past eight years or so the trust has paid yearly divi dends of 12 per cent. This was, noiniually, all of the earnings of the concern, but Wall atreet men say the millions referred to rep resent the profits accumulating during that time, which ware not divided yearly, but stored away for futuro consideration. The suocess of the McEnery faction of the Louisiana democracy at the primary elec tion Tuesday, uomiually closes the breach in tho party in that stato. But if it will do ■o lu -fect remains to be seen. The “anti lottery” people suspect that the former ad vocates of the lottery are not sincere in tboir abandonment of the fight for a renewal of the lottery’s charter. They fear that In tho avaut of the election of McEnery and a leg islature in sympathy with bis views, tbo question of calling a constitutional conven tion for the purpose of framing a now con stitution will be immediately agitated. The reason to be assigned for tbe oalllng of the convention will be to follow the example of Mississippi m securing white supremacy. When the convention meets, however, an attempt will be made to insert a clause In the toa*lllation granting the lottery pew ilfa Hill’s Strength In the South. In a long article summing up Senator Hill’s strength, the New York World says: “In short, while Mr. Hill’s strength since the .Albany convention seems to have de veloped somewhat in the south, he has made little or no gain in the north, the northwest or New Kugland; and It is significant that, in spite of the power of example, be is not receiving invitations from any states north of Mason's and Dixon’s line. ” A full and fair review of the political situation in those parts of the south visited by Senator Hill justifla* the opinion that he mad* little or no impression upon the south ern people during his recent sjuthern tour. The statement has beD made that after he left Jackson, Miss., the prevailing senti ment there was rather unfavorable to him, and it is worthy of notice that at Birming ham. Ala., a very large Cleveland club baa been formed since his visit, numbering, it is said, fully 2,000 voters. It includes the most influential men of that city -men who represent the prevailing political senti ment in Alabama. At Atlanta there was no demonstration In Senator Hill’s behalf when he passed through that city, and in this city a very large club, composed of men who are opposed to him, has been formed within the last two or three days. Senator Hill’s southern tour seems to have done him harm rather than good, because it has had the effect of making the opposition to him activo. The reception aooorded him in the south has been misunderstood in the north. He was received and treated as a distinguished democrat rather than as a presidential candidate seeking support. That being the case the Inference that be is strong in the south because crowds of people gathered to see him at the various places at which he stopped is so erroneous one. Unless a great change take place in southern sentiment be tween now and the time of holdlDg the state conventions the Dumber of Hill delegates will be comparatively small. The Terminal People Bhow Their Hand. The Richmond Terminal people Bbowed their hand yesterday. They do that either the Richmond Terminal or the Richmond and Danville shall figure to any extent in th# courts if they can help it. The Georgia Pacific Is put forward to stand the brunt of the litigation, and it Is alleged in behalf of that company that its act in leas ing the Central was not authorized, because its stockholders were not consulted. It will be interesting to hear what the court has to say on that point. And it might be well to ask whether the attor neys of the Richmond Terminal told the Terminal people that the lease was of doubt ful validity at the time it was made because it was not ratified by the stockholders of the Georgia Pacific, and whether the ad visers of the Central failed to inquire whether such ratifioatitei was necessary to the validity of the lease. The Richmond and Danville, having a lease of the Georgia Pacific, claims that it operated the Central only because the Cen tral was leased to Che Georgia Pacific, and it puts in a claim of SBOO,OOO for money spent on tbo Central. The purpose of the Terminal people is to have the lease declared invalid so that they and the Richmond and Danville may be released from their sl,- 000,000 boud, and be ia a position to push the Richmond and Danville’s claim for SBOO,OOO against the Central. The Rlobmond and Danville have the books, and it would be a difficult matter to find out how much the Richmond and Dan ville got out of the Central or how much it sf*nt upon it. From some of the affidavits it is clear it did not spend as much on the Central as it ought to hare done, because if the affidavits are true neither the rolling stock nor the roadbed has been kept at as high a standard as it Bbould have been. Now that the case has got Into the courts it is to be hoped that it will be made clear who Is responsible for the present unfortu nate condition of the Central. The Central is a Georgia Institution, In which Georgians feel a pride, and there Is a strong desire to know all the Btaps by whioh It finally got into the eourts. Under the Dutch law, it soeius, the cap tain ot a ship at sea has hot the powers of au autocrat. Some time ago the firemen on board the Netherlands-Amerioan steamship JJbdam mutinied and left the tire room. A storm was approaching, the fires were low, aud the captain urged tbe men to return to work to save the ship. They became violent and threatening, and as a last resort the captain was forced to shoot the ringleader. For this he was fried recently In Amster dam and sentenced to one year’s imprison ment. Hod the trugedy occurred under the British or American flag the oaptain would have been acquitted probably, and voted a gold medal. Tho supreme court of Wisconsin has declared the last congressional apportion ment of that state to be unconstitutional. The gerrymander was mado by a demo cratic legislature and passed upon by a court consisting of three democrats and two republicans. The court's decision was unanimous, aud the chances nri that the court is right aud the legislature wds wrong. The dec.sion may make tho democrats wince a little, but it will do the party good. The democrats bench nave declared for fair play in politics, aud that spirit is brund to be appreciated by the people. The King of Greece is about iu the same position as a man who has hold of the oppo site poles of an electric battery, with the current on. He wishes sincerely to let go, but cannot. The king again attempted to abdicate last week, but was dissuaded by his mother and the Prince of Wales. The Danish government bus promised to Bupport the expedition to the Arctic ocean for the relief of Lieut Peary. Before this party starts it would be a good idea to cast about for support for a relief party to re lieve the party that relievos Peary. The Detroit Tribune says Senator Bill has rent word secretly to his Michigan friends that be is not a candidate for the presideuov. The chances are that that very ably conducted Michigan republican news paper has been imposed upon. J. B. KiTaker, of Ohio, has been heard from. A press dispatch save bo is in Coluin bus "in tbe interest of the Cincinnati water works bill," A lobbyist, then. Is the ex governor aud would-be United States senator. Tbe latest war rumors from Europe are to the effect that tbe czar Is getting ready to do a little "pulverizing’’ himself, and that tbe German emperor will be tbe victim. Tbe eloquence of tbs silver toofued orators at Washington la all of Ue ai gen* Uue variety at present. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1892. Disquieting Diplomacy. The exchange of diplomatic notes that has taken place recently between the President and Lord Salisbury relative to th# Bering sea question has produoed a disquieting effect both in this oouotry and Korops. The President became tired of Lord Salisbury 's evasions of the real point at issue between them, and he stated his own position so plainly and bluntly that Lord Salisbury will find it dlffioult to answer without dis closing what his real intention is. Whit the Preitdent wants is a renewal of the mod is vivanli pealing the arbitra tion for which the treaty, recently nego tiated but not yet ratified, provides. In other words, he wants England to assist in preventing the Canadian poachers from de stroying the seal herds during the time the question of the right of the Canadians to catch seals in Bering sea is being deter mined. Instead of replying directly to the question whether or not Eaelaad would do so. Lord Salisbury has made several pro positions, all bearing upon the* same subject, none of which has been satisfactory. Finally the President notified him that unless be agreed to renew the modus vlvendi of last year the United States would undertake alone to keep Bering sea free of Canadian poachers. This aggressive announcement meant, of course, that the United States would seize vessels Hying the British flag found en gaged in catching seals. Naturally the English newspapers are very muoh stirred up by the President’s note. They deolare he is only playing a game of bluff In order to create a sentiment that will help him in getting a renomination and a re-election. The London Telegraph expresses theopinion that the attempt of tbs President to embroil the two nations will not assist him In getting a second term, and declares chat it is glad that Lord Salisbury has ordered the Paeifio squadron •o proceed to Bering sea, because “history has always proved that Che easiest mode of securing peace is to show promptitude in preparing for defense.’’ The ordering northward of the British squadron in the Paoifio is in the nature of a threat. It amounts to saying that England will not submit to having vessels flying tbs British flag seized. What course will the President pursue if Lord Salisbury's reply to bis last note should not be more satisfactory than the previous ones? Will he carry into effect his threat to seiz) Canadian poachers? If be does there may be trouble between this country and Eagland. The probabilities, however, are that Lord Salisbury will aoceJa to the President’s de mand for a renewal of the modus viveudi and that the Bering sea diffleulty will be settlod without any disturbance of the friendly relations of the two countries. The Petition for a Primary. The petition asking the chairman of the Deinrcratio party of this county to con sider the advisability of substituting the primary for tbe mass meeting for arriving at the wishes of the party is a move In the right dircotion. It is evident that it is impossible by means of a mass meet# lng to obtaiu a fair expression of tbe wishes of a majority of the party in a county containing so large a population as this. There is no very large ball in the city, and it Is, therefore, a very easy matter for a faction of the party to taka possession of a mass meeting and dictate the party’s policy, although it may be only a smell minority. It is evident that there is going to be quite a struggle over the delegatos to tbe approach - iog stato oonvention. Let a primary be or dered, so that there will be no doubt that the will -of the majority will be expressed in their selection. Nobody onn find fault with a primary, because it offers everybody a chauce to express his preference; but there is certain to be a great deal of dissatisfac tion if the delegates are ohosen by a mass meeting. That was a neat little speech that Col. Mercer dolivored on taking the chair at Wedneeday night’* meeting of the Demo cratic Campaign Club. It was well put and full of excAlont advice. Every citizen, as Col. Mercer said, who desires good gov ernment, should take aa interest in public affairs. Ho should be active ia trying to get tbe best man obtainable into the offices, for without honest, earnest and effioient officials there oan be no such thing as good government. Col. Mercer’s public addresses, whether long or short, prepared or unpre pared, are models. Hu is au orator who is always heard with pleasure and profit. Hester Bt. Clair asked permission to aocompany aViucenne3 (Ind.) belle home from church. Leo Greiner informed him that the privilege had been previously granted to him. A quarrel ensued, in which Ht. Clair argued, with his pistol, that he held first mortgage. He was allowed to take the girl. It is a pity that these.young men, with names as nioe and genteel as any Mrs. Francos Hodgson Burnett could evolve from her inner consciousness, are not as nice as the nice people Mrs. Barnett creates in her stories. The New York oourts and newspapers have not yet decided whether Carlyle Har ris, the wif '-murderer, shall be elevaed to the electric chair or the editorial tripod. He was to have been oxecuted this week, and but for the appeal taken in his case, the chauces are that he would before no w have boen auuibilated by the combined agencies of electricity and quicklime. As it is, he is writing poems and scientific articles in a Tombs oell for the New York Sunday newspapers. The French steamship lineruuuing steam ers between New York and Havre has issued orders that all of the waiters on its ships must appear with smooth faces. Of course the natty French counts and marquises who are serving the traveling public in that capacity on shipboard object to sacrificing their splen didly waxed hirsute adornments, and many of them have quit their places. The order came very near causing a mutiny on La Bretagne on her last trip. George Alfred Townsend might have gained much valuable information by post poning bis trip to Spain to get material for a life of Columbus until be had seen K iral fjr’s circus version of the discovery of America. On tho "other side" he will flud nothing half so suggestive as bow America wai not discovered. The “microphone" has supplanted the ko dak in Chicago. The aldermen took a snap shot vote, for a consideration, anil the de fectives listened through a "microphone" to bear the “boodle deal" dismissed. Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton's favorite pict ure portrays her in the ideal oharacter of ‘Tnnoceooe." A dove perches ou her baud to complete the s/mUpUtu. PERSONAL. Mrs. Eswim Craighead and Mrs. Anna M. Fcsflick of Mobil*, of the world's fair board of lair managsrs for Alabama, are Id Birmiiur tasm this week working la the Interest of the exposition. M. Ribot, th* French stetesxan, ascribes a large share of his success lo the sagacious en couragement he baa received from bis wife, who was formerly Mis* Burch, daughter of a Ohlcago banner. Mtvs Jennie Subget MiRRIJ4-representing the organization called tbe Kings'* Daughters, has obtained from Cardinal Gibbons the support of his sanction for her tenement bouse reform work In New York. Florence Niobti nolle, whose energy, intel ligence and devotion saved the lives of many sick and wounded soldiers daring the Crimean war. in reported to he in very feeble health. She is nearly ft years old. The latest reports about the Count de Lessepa affirm that the grew Frenchman is almost in a stateeof dotage And with tbe decline of his mental powers his bodily vigor is beginning to fail fast De Lesseps is now nearly 86 years old. Gladstone swings along at a t mile gait when going down to the parliament building. He usually wears a very shabby hat. pushed well back on bis head <>n tbe street be does not look at all dandified, although be seems well dressed in the house. Thihe Is a man in Southern India named Alexander Hockaduy, who is 112 years old. He never took but one dose of medicine In his life, ami that was after he was 100 years old. He feels that this act is going to shorten his exist ence from ten to twenty years. Senator Leland Stanford has discovered that his name has recently been used exten sively in a patent medicine advertisement as that of a patient who bad been cured by the nostrum in question This appears to be the first that the Californian ever heard of the medicine. The estate of tbe late President Grevy of France now proves to be worth $1,400,000. The bulk of tbe ex-president's money was Invested in English console nod Russian, Belgian and American securities For many years he was earning from $50,000 to $60,000 a year, but he lived in a modest apartment while yet a mere lawyer and kept no carriage. Nicholas O'Conner, who was secretary of the British legation at Washington six years ago, and was transferred as diplomatic agent at .Sofia, displayed so much tact and the latter post. In connection with tbe deposi tion of Alexander of Bulgaria, that has been made minister plenipotentiary at Pekin, with a salary of $60,000, a handsome house and large allowances. BRIGHT BITB.

Eow About the Tariff? From the Cleveland (O.) leader (Rep.). The Democratic party asked to be put in power In congress In order that it might repeal "the iniquitous McKinley law."

There is every indication of a red-hot cam paign down In Rhode Island The hiring of all the ham in some of the town* for every night until election day by one of the parties in order to prevent the other side from enlightening the voters, looks like a grim determination to per mit the devil to take the hindormost.

From the St. Louis Republic (Deni.), Harrison bas undertaken to levy taxes by proclamation on rS.OuO.OOO pounds of coffee on whioh no tax has been levies by law. ami there upon bis organa say that as this is only one soveDth of tbe coffee used In this country. It is all right. Hut what kind of a, government is it in which the executive can Issue a proclamation taxing either sevou-seventna or one seventh of article* used by rtie people? What right has anv American President to impose taxes not imposed by law? A Bill That Will Not Do. From the Chicago News (Aid.). The American people are hardly ready for the departure which Representative Hendereoa proposes In tb* MU |he has Introduced m con gress vesting tha Postmaster Ueneral with the dangerous powers of a press censorship. Ills measure la unquestionably well meant as It Is aimed at the exclusion of improper literature from the mails, but It clothes tbe bead of the poetolßce deiwrtmeot with an authority that ought never to be placed In any man's hands that of suppressing a newspaper when tl falls to aunt big gpigotti, Lord Lome and Some American Girls. The following pleasant and unusual experi ence happened to n party of well known Ameri can gir s who were traveling in Europe tnis summer, says the Rochester iN. Y.) Poet-Ejc prets. Its truth, of course, can be vouched for. The story is told by one of the young ladles : “On our way to Edinburgh we stopped over a train at Stirling to s** the castle, and there an adventure befell us, of which I will tell you: When we got out of the train and were looking •bout for the wavs and means of reaching the castle, we were aocosted by a tall, fine-loosing, middle aged man, who asked if we were not from the’other side o? the water.' We said •yes.' and that we wanted to get to the castle. He said that he was going there and would be glad to show us the way, and also to show ug his old family house, which was close by. We got into car riages. and our new friend mounted the box beside the driver, and on we v-eat. We fin ally stopped before a quaint old house, with coats of arms carved in stone, and he led us into the court yard, which was very quaint and old. He said' tbe place was called ’Argyle Lodge," and then added: ‘Perhaps I ought to tell you who 1 am. lam Lord Lome, tbe last of the house of Argyle" He then took us all over tbe castle, the old Grey Friars’ church, and rushed about so that we saw twice as much as we could possibly have seen by ourselves, for he knew just what was worth seeing, and could shake off the guide when he started on his long rambling story. Lord Lome was per fectly lovely, and we have all lost our hearts to him, and have serious designs first upon the life of the Prtnoess Louise, his wife, and then upon each other.’’ In the Country Btore. Some of the snow-bound passengers at one of the depots near Utica were telling stories the other day, and a traveling man was relating his experience in a country store in a small town in Jefferson county, says the Utica (N. Y ) 06- set uer. He said he was there nearly the entire forenoon and had occasion to note the peculiar ities of tbe storekeeper, who carried a gen-nil stock, but a pretty small one. Every little while a customer would come into th# storeand inquire for some article that the merchant did not happen to have in stock. For instance: “Have you any dried beef, Mr. Cashdrawer?” "No, we have no dried beef to-day, but we have some nice codfish. John, show this lady the codfish. “Do you keep any such thing as wicks for those big round lamp burners?" “We generally do, but happen to be out Just now. We have some fine cotton clothes lines though. John, show the gentleman the clothes lines.” "My gals wanted me to bring them home some confectioner's sugar. Have you got any of it. Cashdrawer?” "Sold the last ounce about an hour ago, Henry We’ve got an excellent quality of toilet oap. though John, show Mr. Adams the soap.” "bo you keep ready-made flannel skirts?” “Have bad them all winter, and sold three to a lady yesterday, which cleaned tbe stock out. But we have a large supply of overalls. John, show this lady the overalls.’’ Happy Ahashuerus. “When I went to sea,” said an old yarn spinner down on the wharves to a Portland, (Me.) Press writer, ”1 was very handy aloft and answered to the convenient name of •Jack.’ I was so willing and handy that the officers were always calling upon me. It was 'Jack, do this.’ or ’Jock, do that ’ On one voy age from Havana to Philadelphia the mates called on ’Jack’ so much that I was well-nigh worn out. 1 determined to be ‘Jack’ no more. After arriving in Philadelphia and remaining there a few days I went to the shipping com missioner's office for anew job. He said he wanted a man for a captain who was even then waiting in tho office and requested me to sign my name. ’’ T cannot write,’ I said. “ ’Then tell me your name,’ said he. “ ‘Ahashuerus Vitz Van Deuzendorff.’ said I. “‘What?’ ’’ ‘Ahashuerus Vitz Van Deuzendorff.’ ” ‘How in thunder do you spell it?’ “ 'I don’t know.’ " ’Here, captain, ’ said the commissioner, turn ing to tho waiting captalu, ‘this man seems all right but for his confounded name.’ " ’That's all right,’ said the captain, and I was shipped And I will tell you 1 bad peace and comfort on that voyage. Whenever the mate wautb.i me to do anything, he would start on my name, break out swearing, and then tell another man to do the work. 1 think they rather suspected something wrong about tbe name; but they never caught me." Illustrating a Point. “You don’t know how glad I am to see you in terested in this noble work,” said tbe rector of a Detroit church, according to the Tribune, ad - dressing the Children's Foreign Mission Society. “These poor heathens know nothing of our ways of life They live in huts, dress in skins of animals and never go to school or to church. They have never heard the blessed gospel and you can help to spread the good news among them. ’’You can scarcely form an idea of what they are or how they live,” he continued. "Why, children, these imor people are as black —as black—er—why, children, they're as black as the ace of spades ” Two big boys on the front sent snickered and an audible smile ran through the elder portion of the congregation, while poor Dr. Tenthly got red and white uy turns and gave out a hymn to relieve tne general embarrassmeut. In the Sick Room. From Puck. Among the pillows propped in sweet repose She feels the heavy time slip slow away; She’s weary of the blushing crimson rose That seems no longer gay. 3ho does not hear the bird of melody That sweetly sings within a gold cage shut; And several brand new novels round her He, Unopened and uncut. But now a smile flits o’er her features free: Ail suddenly, her dream’s with pleasure filled; Her soft brown eyes dilate excitedly— She’s with rare rapture thrilled. She sees above the morning paper bowed The nurse; and then the convalescent pale Asks her if she will kindly read aloud The latest bargain sale. Hens and Ducks. ? Fish stories are good, says the Boston Tran script, but they cannot compare In Interest with the hen stories that were told this morn ing at the Plowman Farmer*’ meeting in John Hancock building. James Rankin of South t- aston, the essayist, described a pair of healthy chickens hatched from a double yeiked egg which were joined at the wings by a fleshy integument. They had to be separated, be cause one of them developed a tendency to turn somersaults, which proved a source o i annoy ance aud danger to his less acrobatically in clined mate.

The clergy man waited patiently and at last was favored with a nibble Then the line parted and his hopes and a portion of his fishing tackle van ished simultaneously. He said nothing for almost a minute, and then, turning to his friend, remarked: "John, if my early education had been neg lectcd. what do you suppose I should have said?” When Lowell Was Undignified. James Russell Lowell was walking along Irving street, in Cambridge, one day, says an exchange, when he saw the son of Prof. Josiah Royce—a child not over 10 years old now— handling a piece of hose and a stream of water rather recklessly. Fearing a ducking he began a remonstrance as he approached. The bqy listened carefully until Mr. Lowell was done.

Instinct teaches the hen that it would be no good to warm only one Bide of her eggs, and so when she feels that they are “done’' on one side she turns them gently round. Any one who has watched setting-hens has seen them rise every now aqd then and shuffle about for a few moments on the nest. That is when they turn the eggs over. A ottrious phenomenon was recently wit nessed during a storm near Queenstown, when the gigantic waves broke on the rocks and a huge volume of water of spiral shape suddenly rose and ascended to a great hight. Simulta neously a similar volume of jyater descended from the clouds till both spirals met, when both volumes of water spread aud fell foaming into the sea. At one time the number of swans in England must have been enormous. Paulus Jovius, writ ing centuries ago, declared that he never saw a river so thicklv covered with swans as the Thames; and In 1625, when John Taylor, the water poet, rowed from London to Christ church. and then up the Avon to Salisbury, he was amazed at the swarm of birds on that stream. Government engineers have enumerated no less thau PJ6 rivers in the Mississippi valley, which, in their present natural state, are not available to 6tream navigation, but which might be made so at a very reasonable cost* A two or three-foot navigation for nine months of the year might be secured on a total of nearly 15,000 miles, aud with a reasonable ex penditure. Mr. Cooke asserts that an extensive bay off the east coast of the island of Malta owes its origin and extent to the agency of the sirocco, which blows directly into it. The rapid changes from dampness to dryness, which are oharac teristic of the sirocco, and the crystallization of the salt which it deposits upon the rocks, are reckoned among the powers of destruction whioh this wind possesses. Two young city-bre 1 women, daughters of a prominent wholesale merchant in Ban Fran cisco named Lowenstein, are living on and working u land claim in the state of Washing ton, between Hadlock and Port Ludlow.

Their nearest neigbb r is four miles away. Repeated observations have shown that the American so-called robin sometimes hibernates, but he has never been detected sleeping in a night gown only of down, with bis feathers ly ing around him. This seemingly irrational pro ceeding had been fqr an English cuckoo “who was brought up m a house, and which disappeared one day In November and was found in the following March on a shelf in, the back kitchen, still alive aud asleep, with all* its feathers off auu clothed only in and iwn, tne feathers lying in a heap round the body." For nearly forty years Punch has hepn reeu larly taken at the Prussian royal palaces of Ber lin and Potsdam. Emperor Avi Ilium has just is sued a private order that Punch la to be struct otT the list of journals which are supplied to him, and the Empress Frederick, Prince Henry of Prussia anti all members of the roval family who are in the habit of reading English J oar naif have been desired by autocratic relative to discontinue the obnoxious periodical. It is understood in Berlin that the omperort wrath has been excßed by some jocular allusions to his majesty’s|oraiorleal indiscretions which recent y appeared in Punch. It is known that the hoofs of horses were protected by boots of leather at a very early period in the world’s history—at a time which at least antedates Pliny and Aristotle* both of whom make mention of the fact. These leather boots were sometimes studded with metal nails, but more usually worn without extra trimming, the cheapness of that commodity making it possible for the ow ner of the steed to ‘reboot 1 ’ nim at any time. Homer speaks of “braz*u footed steeds,” from which we naturally infer that iu his day horses were shod with bronze or brass. Two reputable ancient writers teli us that tho mules of Nero wore silver shoes. Iron shoes were first nailed to the hoofs of war horses in the ninth century; they were flrst in troduced into England by William 11., about the year 1088. At the present day the Japanese use horseshoes made of braided straw, and several European countries used compressed rawhide lor the same purpose. Ibn Batitah, the earliest and most enter taining of the Moorish travelers, tells of a ruby bowl that was shown him by Arya Chakravasti, ruling chief of Paihan, which he affirms “was larger than the palm of a man's hand.” Further on in his account of this carved gem he says that its sides were engraved with figures of “three palm trees, a man, two goats and a dog, the opposite side having the figures of two tigers engaged in combat . ” This gem of geum must have weighed at least 800 carats aud its value was beyond calculation. Chardin saw a ruby in Persia which had the head and name of Sheik Bephi engraved upon one sid*. and the figure of a serpent on the other. The French crown jewels are said to have once included among their number a perfect dragon, two inches in length, carved from a ruby of the first water.
