2 PEACE IN BERING SEA. LOBD SALISBURY’S OFFER TO BS ACCEPTED. Blaine Resumes Offlc:al Duties &sd Will Conduct All Further Negotia tions on Behalf of the United States. Certain Restrictions to be Demanded Before Final Acceptance of England's Offer. Washisgtow, March 30. Secretary Blaine has resumed the discharge of official duties and will conduct all farther nego tiations on behalf of this government Id tbe Bering sea matter. Gen. J. W. Foster will continue, however, to assist in the conduct of these negotiations, as wall as others affecting the commercial interests of tbe United States. The two gentlemen named had a conference with the President this morning in regard to the details of the reply to be made to Lord Salisbury’s note of March 26, agreeing to a renewal of last year’s modus vlvendi under certain condi tions respecting indemnity. As has been already stated, this government has practically decided to accept these con ditions with certain restrictions, and it Is understood that the letter prepared by Sec retary Blaine was accepted at a conference this morning as defining the position of this government on tbe subject. These views will probably be oommunicated to Sir Julian Pauncefote to-morrow, and, as they call for no material change in the proposi tion of Lord Salisbury, it is expected that an agreement on that point will be reached in a short time. It is said that no further action will be taken In regard to tbe arbitration treaty un til tbe arrangements for tbe modus have been oompleted. The British minister has been officially Informed of the ratification of the treaty and hae undoubtedly commu pioated the fact to tbe home government. In the meantime Gen. Foster and his as sistants are busily engaged in the prelimi narygpreparatious of the case of the United States for submission to the arhitrstors. The personnel of that tribunal will not be announced for several week*. It is settled, however, that Gen. Foster ■rill be the agent and Judge E. J. Phelps of Vermont, the leading counsel in behalf of tbe United Btates. There will be other counsel, bnt tbev have not as yet been ■elected. Ex-Senator Spooner of Wiscon sin will probably be Invited to act in that capacity. It is stated on authority that the two arbitrators on behalf of tbe United Btales have not yet been chosen. The report that Austria or some other country had been substituted for Italy as one of the neutral countries to nominate an arbitrator it officially denied. CLAIMS or SEALERS. Ottawa, Ont., March 30.—Betweea thirty and forty clalmr of the Britiab Columbia sealers for damages, aggregating $500,000, have been forwarded to tbe de partment of marine at Ottawa in compli ance with a proclamation requesting claims Cor compensation for loss occasioned by the expulsion of sealers from Bering sea under the modus viveudl. CLEARANCES SUSPENDED. Ottawa. Maroh 30.—The colleotor of customs at Victoria, B. C., has been notified by telegraph from here not to allow any more clearances to vessels going to Bering aea. This is taken as an indication that an agreement has beeq reached betweeg Lord (Salisbury and Bearetary Blaine for a revi val of the sealing modus viveudl. A SUDDEN DBATB AT TIPTON. (Thomas H.

Valdosta, Ga., March 30.—The first conflict between the Democratic party and tbe third party in tbe state oocurred here to-day in the eieotion of an ordinary to fill tbe unexpired term of Judge Stephens, deceased, and resulted in a Waterloo for the third party. Their candidate, the Stev. W. A. Pardee, was beaten by David 2d. Smith, the demooratio candidate, by 400 majority in the oounty. This virtually ■trangles the third party in the cradle and proves that Lowndes oonnty’s demooraoy is on a rock foundation and cannot be shaken from her moorings. The democrats of the county are organising themselves into a club, and no man or measure not thorough ly demooratio need apply for any offioe in %be oouuty in the gift of tbe people.

Tbe Exercises Highly Interesting end a Crowd In tbe City. Albaky, Ga., March 30.—The Chautau qua is a great sauces*. The city is fuil of visitors and everybody it happy. The pro gramme for Thursday and Friday unfolds a treat. Capt, Hobbs announced to-day that next year instead of the tent a building would be ready for the audience. Albany is enthused. Prof. Sanford’s address on the “ Romance of Arithmetic” was admirable. Prof. F. N. Parker of Chicago, tbe greatest teacher of pedagogics in Amerioa, pronounced It the beet of the kind he ever beard. No orator has more pleased the assembly than Cnarles Wessolowsky. the Jewish rabbi of this city. He is a business man, litterateur and orator ail in one, Tbe teachers' institute is a prominent feature. Capt. Brad well says next year he will have 500 teachers here. The music is grand, worth a ride from Savannah or Macon just to hear it. To day was Educational day at the Chau tauqua, and a grand day it was. All the addresses and lectures by different profes sors were replete with everything good per taining to education. Especially good were the addresses of Prof. A. H. Beal of Mil ledgeville aud Col. Parker, delivered in the tent tabernacle. A PRACTICAL LBS SO ft. When Prof. Z. I.

Prom the Sow Fork Times. “O, Fanny, bow’s the painting clans getting on, and are you as much In love with your teaoher as you were when I saw you last*” This question was put by one young woman to another. The two had met for the first time in several months, and as they rode down-town in one of Mr. Gould’s trams they were talking, as the phrase runs, "about persons and things.” Suddenly came the question about tbe painting class. Fanny giggled a minute before answering It, and her friend giggled with her through sympathy and doubtless iu anticipation that something funny was ooming. "It’s all over, Edith,” Fanny said, at last, “the class, tbe man worship—every thing. Our teacher was Prof. C., aud the olass was a very select one. W# had paint ed a dog, a mouse, and a oat, ami at last we had started in on a parrot. We had bad four lessons with the parrot before the smash-up came. ••* Too dull, too dull,’ Mr. Professor kept saying tous. 'Nobody ever saw a parrot’s feathers look like that. I want a brighter green—something with life in it.’ “ Well, my cousin Helen, who is, as you know, a pretty lively young woman, made up her mind that she would play a little joke on the professor. So she went to the parrot's cage and helped herself to a quanti ty of feathers and stuck them on to the can vas. Then she sat down and waited for the professor to oome. We were all there, the whole ten of us, each one at her easel, ap parently absorbed in her work. “ ‘Good morning, young ladies,’ said Mr. Professor, as he entered the room. ‘I trust that some of you oan show me a beautiful, bright parrot green to-day.’ ‘ ‘We all laughed innocent girlish laughs at this remark and went on with our paint ing, noue of us saying anything in reply. “ 'Glad to see you so industrious to-day, young ladies,' Baid the professor. “Then he started to look at our easels. He passed slowly from one to another, shaking bis head and frowning as be went aloug. Suddenly he caught sight of Helen’s work. A look of incredulity came into his oyes. It probably seemed queer that she alone out of all in the class should 'have caught the parrot color perfeotly—Helen, tbe worst dauber in tbe lot. But pleasure chased incredulity away, and speaking un der its impulse, the professor brokeout in ex clamations . “* Charmlu!?’ he cried. 'That’s the real parrot color. A trifle to vivid, perhaps, but really excellent. I congratulate you Miss Schermerhorn, upon your success.' “He moved up closer to get a better view. Then he halted and stared first at Helen, then at the picture, then at tbe parrot. Then he turned on bis heel and left the room without as much as sayiug ‘boo’ ” “Hasn’t he ever come back, Fanny?” in quired Editb. “Not a bit of it. It’s alt over between him and us.” Then Fanny looked at Editb, and Edith loosed at Fanny, and then the two giggled again. “What ridiculous things men are,” re marked Edith when she had quieted down. "Yes,” assented Fanny, “and artists more than ail Abe rest.” A Doutle-End Locomotive. From the Norrutoum (Pa.) Herald.

It Waa Not tbe Court Minuet and Did Not Embrace His Partner. From th- St Louis Globe-Democrat. I once spent two hours on a narrow, rounded bowlder, dancing attendance upon an enormous grizzly bear. The dance was not to my liking, certainly not of my choosing, and the only music was tbe basso of his grizzlysbip. But as it was danoe or a death hug, 1 choose the former, and right merrily I tripped it. I was out in the San Juan country about four months ago, enjoying a season of recreation, My time was spent mostly iu tbe foot-hills, hunting mountain grouse and smaller game. A fairly good shot, and with enough ambition to stimu late effort until my game-bag was full, I had enjoyed to the bent a three weeks’ vaca tion without killing any thing more danger ous than a mountain lion, which, to my thinking, is the hyena of American ani mals. It was rumored that griztly bear had been marauding to the south of our camp, but as we had spent nearly a month tramping across the mountains without a sign of bear, we paid no attention. We had made no our tninds to go bock without a bear skin, and, in fact, I, for one, had no especial hankering for a bear bunt. The morning of the day we wore to break camp and return again to wore I started for a last hunt among the grouse. Not ex pecting to be absent long, I filled the mag azine of my Winchester, leaving my heavy ammunition belt to be packed,a way by the colored understudy. The mountain mist was still heavy in the valley, and I started up the mountain side, intending to begin my hunt well up aud work my way down toward the camp. By the time I reached the point I desired the sun bad cleared tbe fog and I began work. For some cause game was scarcer than usual, and I was bewailing my bard luck on the la3t day, when, with a whirr, a pair of mountain grouse flew up from under my feet. I fired at the nearest one, and it fell, but with the roar of the gun came an answering and louder roar, and from behind a huge bowlder not thirty feet away came tearing a huge silver tip. 1 must have dis turbed him in his snooze, for he was unmis takably raving mad. He paused a half minute to locate me, and then, with an ugly grunt that made my bunting cap fall from my head, he charged me. Of course, I ought to have shot him, and doubtless I would have done so had it oc - curred to me. But it didn’t. Tbe distance between us was so short that by the time I could turn to run 1 imagined I could feel bis hot breath burning tbe edge off tbe tails of my bunting jacket. It was cut and run, and I did some expert dodging and twisting. In the rush I dropped my gun. By a quick dodge around a tree I gained sufficient headway to scramble upon a large bowlder which rose to Dearly the bight of my shoulder. The grizzly was right behind me, and a* I felt scrambling on the top of the *tone a wicked swipe from hi* claws tore to tatters one leg of my trousers. Exhausted and bait dead from fright, I managed to crawl far enough from tbe edge to be out of reach of those terrible claws. For about a minute I heard nothing from Bruin. He was evi dently trying to atoartain whether I had come out on the other side. Presently Isa w two huge paws feeling around over the edge of the howlder, and then the ugly snout and the peering evil eyes came into view. He could, by standing areot. Just see over the edge. His rage when he saw his prey so nearly In his reach was frightful. He gave a roar and dug great furrowsln the rough surface of the stone with his diAws in his efforts to get at me. When I felt the great rook on which I lay between despair aud death slowly oareeniug under the weight of the ferocious devil, I tried to pray. As the stone slanted further I threw myself as far over the opposite edge as I dared, when, to my great joy, my weight tipped.the bowlder back agaiu. and the grizzly, with a mad roar, slipped down and charged around the stone to got at me from the other side. But I was playing the same game, and as fast as he would pull at one side I would tilt updhe other. It was a desperate game of seesaw, in which the stake was a life. When thf infuriated grizzly would give a particularly vicious lunge I would grow white for fear my see saw would lose its balance and be torn from its base. But as we continued our game I grew more confident. By standing erect I c.uld at all times keep my unwelcoraepart ner in sight, and as quickly as he would throw a heavy paw over one corner I would put my 140 pounds on the other, and the baffled brute would have to content him self with a great handful of stone and dirt. No doubt it would have appeared amusing to a disinterested observer, this game of see saw on the mountain side between a terror slrloken tenderfoot and a mad and disgusted grizzly, but I could see only the serious side of it. I know that I was comparatively safe while I could keen his bearship overbal ance!; but tbe oold sweat broke out wheu I thought over the situation. Suppose the boys should break camp and go away, thinklog that I would rejoin them at n point further down the stream on which we were camped? Suppose that this huge devil should sit down to deliberately wear me out? Suppose—but just then a savage pass of the brute’s; aw caught a tattered section of my trousers leg, and once more began our see-saw. Finally, when I was nearly exhausted and half crazy from fright, and when the bear had relaxed somewhat his efforts, I set up a shout, half in despair, half in hope that it might be heard by my com panions, who might|be up in the mount ains. My first shout was drowned in the roar with which the grizzly greeted it, but as I continued to shout he settled upon his haunches and regarded me with a half quizztoal look, as though wondering what he would do with that wiudbag when he got it. 1 continued to shout. Finally, to my great delight, I was answered. I shouted again. A reply came, and soon I saw my two friends climbing up the side. The bear was on the opposite side of the rock, and I shouted tbe situation to my friends. While they were creeping around to get in position for a shot that would tell, I peeped over far enough to excite tho bear, and at onoe we resumed our see-saw. But this time 1 stood erect, aud by waving my arms and yelling I incited Bruin to tbe verge of madness. Resting bis paws upon the ledge he fairly howled in impotent rage. When the guns cracked he half turned, and theu slowly keeled over in a heap. Both shots had struck him fairly in tbe left side, and he was dead when he struck the ground. 1 danced a hornpipe on that rock, and then I scrambled down and sat down on tbe warm carcass of my late partner. We carried the hide to camp. It now ornaments my bedroom as a rug. aud as I place my slippers in its soft fur after dinner I r efleot that it is much better to win than loee in a game where the stake is life or death.

CONVICT SONGS SUNG IN SING SING. Sad Verses Written by Unfortunates Serving Sentence. From the Sew York Recorder. The unfortunates who, because of crime, are locked behind prison bars are regarded by their more fortunate brethren in much the same light as tbe wild beasts exhibited in a menagerie. To watch them toiling sullenly, hopelessly in tbe various shops connected with oar state prisons gives no idea of their condi tions or thoughts when locked alone In their oells at night. Then tbe wretched criminal, who is often a man of education, gives wav to thoughts of other aud better days. Via. ions of nome aud mother throng around his lonely heart; he is filled with the poetry of remorse and penitence, and to relieve his feelings writes what is known as a “Conviot Song.” These verses are adapted to seme popular piece of musio and are sung by his fellow convicts In chorus as they labor at tbe beach or march to the one. two, three lock-step of tbe chain-gang. These a mgs, like that of the dying swan, are never printed and seldom beard except from behiud prison bar*. Through the courtesy of James Con naughton, the principal keeper of Sing Sing priaOD, the following examples were obtained. The first was written by Alfred Sheridan while serving a life sentence: life, urs, LIFE. In plodding through this weary world, bow many are cast down And either trampl-d under foot or passed by with a frown! Not thinking they have feelings and a heart just like your own. That once again might rise in life if sympathy was shown. How many men are languishing within a prison cell, Who, If they had another chance, would use the blessing well: Just think what must the feelings bo of those men day by day Who gaze upon the living tomb wherein they have to stay. CHORUS. For life, life. life, no hopes of a to-moorrow, In this Life, life, life of weary care and sorrow. Let your mercy in the convict's lonely cell. And may your souls wlih the angels ever dwell. Forsaken by both God and man, the convict seems to stand. With none to give a cheering word nor lend a helping hand. He seems to be an outcast that no one cares to own The agony and misers he suffers are unknown. How often thoughts of childhood's days will come to him again, Which cheer him while they last, but leave be hind a stinging pain, To think that all those happy times of life he'll never see— It makes him curse the fate that robs him of bis liberty. When njeroy pleads with justioe to spare the awful rod. Then mao becomes, as Shakespeare says, “more like unto his God." If all the hearts of men could be seen by the naked eye, Some now who freely use the rod for mercy then would cry. Remember all are mortal, and that none are free from stain. And none can say they're sure to see the rising sun again. Our earthly joys are only few, and life is hut a span; Then let us hope they make some law to help out every man. The following was composel by Jack Conners, who served fifteen years for piracy and was afterward drowned off tbe Twenty third street dock in this city while trying to escape from arrest by some officers who were pursuing him. SING SINO SOCIETY. I’m stopping nt present, as most of you know, Where the beautiful Hudson serenely does flow; Its valleys and hills far aud near I can see. Which, candidly npenning, has no charm forme. I listlessly gaze on the beautiful scene. But bars 'twixt my vision and it intervene; I long, like the birds of the air, to take wing, And fly far away from you, old Sing Sing. CHORUS. Bing Sing! That’s where the crooks go; Sine Sing! Comforts take wing; Tbey fly away while I do stay. Paying the piper here in Sing Sing. The reason I’m present with you here to-day, I tried bard to live in a number one way; But second-class wages and number one fare, When hitched up together make but a bad pair; And so I betnought me at once of a scheme. To make the two work as an elegant team; But in writing It up too much ink I did sling. Which leaves me sojourning up In Sing Sing. In this place we-ve all kinds and conditions of men; Good knights of the jimmy, the club and the pen; We’ve statesmen and con. men and artists galore. And cashiers who failed to reach Canada’s shore. We’ve bankers and brokers, boodlers in tribes. And some of the slick reportoriai scribes; Musicians and editors, too. In the ring. All jumbled together up in Sing Sing. WOMEN PROPOSE. In Novels It Is Done With Tears, But Not Always so in Real Life. From the Keio York Evening Sun. February of this leap year is gone, but there are almost ten months left in which for women to exercise their undoubted priv ilege. Practically women propose to men much more often than is believed, and ourlously the recordedjinstauces, and they are not few, show that ladies exeroise the privilege without reference to leap year. The ideal relation between man aud woman is when Atalanta runs and Hippo menes pursues. But Atalanta is so encum bered w ith garments that she can no longer run. Her change in costume illustrates the network of restraining customs with which civilization has eutangled her movements. Tbe dear girl can now only linger about and use the signals left bar, her coquetry and her tears, and if now and then she solves tbe situation more summarily it is not surprising. This she does in ner own way. Lady Geraldine, in “Lady Geraldine’s Courtship,” woos “Mister” Bertram with, engaging frankness and chivalrous devo tion, and moreover endows him with all her worldly goods— not in phrase, but iu fact. Elaine’s wooing of Launcelot, t!se most determined advocate of Women’s rights would agree, goes too far. Elaiue in deed is as forward a young woman as is produced in either literature or life. The advantages of a delicate constitution are seen in the immunity acoorded to her con duct. But it is not alone the poets who record the proposals made by women to men. Lady t astlewood virtually proposed to Henry Esmond, falling on her knees in an appropriate manner, with burning words, but, alas, with tears. In * ‘Middlemarch," Dorothea proposed to Will Ladislaw, not without encouragement, certainly. How ever, W ill only spoke of love. “But we can marry, sometime, ’' suggested Dorothea; then She broke into tears. Evidently, when woman do prop se to men, tbe mos. success ful mauner is tbe most lachrymose. Thus Jo proposes to her German doctor in “Little Women," and in Miss Tnackeray’s story, “Jack the Giant-Killer,” the curate’s daughter ingulfs poor Jack in a lady-like Hood of tears. On the contrary, in Miss Wilkin’s latest story Julizn, the heroine, a straightforward girl, proposes frankly to the young man with whom she was keeping company, as they went home from singing school. He hesitates and she thinks he is ooy. He still hesitates and she asks him if be loves an other. He oonfetses that ho does, then Julisa helps him to win her. In “Castle Richmond,” Trollope makes bis elderly countess propose without crying and sbe u reieet-d. The proposal of tbe Queen of England to Prince Albert, which she has recorded hor se.

A STARTLING FACT ! That very few persons hare perfect eyes. It must be evident that it requires both knowledge and skill to know what the eyes need And to tit them properly with glasses. Those who trust this work to unlnstructed dealers are criminally careless of the most valuable of ail the senses, their sight. In addition to graduating in Ger many and my.thirty years practical experience, I have taken a course and graduated in a school of optics in New York and learned the latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ eut defects of the eyes and their proper correo tlon, so that I can (it you properly with glasses that will strengthen and improve your eyesight instead of rapidly ruining ft. as poorly-fitted glasses will always do.
