So great is the rage for notoriety nowa days, we arc told, that there are people actually dying to get their names in the papers. Ir Hamlet was really a sallivated prince and weak in his understanding, Miss Saliie Bernhardt is justified in personating upon the stage. Nononv cares that Mr. Cleveland considers ofiico a public trust, but there is a general indignation that the country should be left to infer from his actions for the last year that so few Democrats can be trnsted. The Wnterbury American, knows a genu ine Georgia article when it Bees it, as per exhibit: “Tho Macon Tei.eokapii has been driven by increase of business to buy a new, improved and faster press. It is abont as lively a newspaper as they have down South, and deserves its prosperity.” Tbe steamship Thomas Melville left Baltimore in February, 1884. Banning be fore a galo from the westward, Bhe was con stantly boarded by heavy seas. Two can vass bags were made, pnnctnred in many places with a sail needle and filled with oil. These bags were bung over the bows and allowed to drag in the water. The seas no longer came on board. One gallon of oil lasted several hours. Bon Inoebsoll’s religion is bad, very bad, bat his bead is cool on some subjects. He is reported as saying: "I have talked with Presidents and Senators and Congressmen and public men of all parties, and I have never yet found one of them who was sin cerely for civil scrvico reform us it is advo cated and put into practice now.’’ Geohoe Banckoff, though in the frosty time of life, does not let the dowers of his fancy get nipped. Says he; "The man of many years can look before and after, and, seated under tho tree of life, enjoying ■sweet rest with full content,' be finds that tbe leaves which have fallen from its branches have but opened clearer vision of the eternal stare.” Thebe is one way in which the President conld have answered tho Senate's insolenco. He conld have removed every ltepnblicau officeholder in the State of Vermont, and if, for every nomination of a good man re jected by that body be should have "cleaned up ’ a new slate, it would not have been long before bis own party came to bis res cue and tbo Senate to terms. A i-noMiNEN'T Now York Democrat, a mem ber of tbe House, is authority for the statement that Uoudall says the Morrison bill, as it now stands, is beaten worse than the horizontal bill of 1884. Mr. Randall, furthermore, said that in his opinion not less than forty Democrats would vote agnlnst it This means that Randull’s en tire strength will be thrown against tbe measure. He still adheres to the notion tfiat a tariff bill of some kind ought to pass this session, but not of the Morrison kind The Philadelphia Uecord saya: "Mr. Blaine in the second volume of his book has a great deal to say about the frauds winch were perpotrated and the violence which occurred in the South in 1808, and saysof Governor Seymour that he remained "the beneficiary of a vote that was tainted with crime and the blood of innocent men. As Govornor Seymour was defeated, it is ditficnlt to ace how he could have benefited either by crime or fraud. Mr. Blaine must surely be referring to a later period in American history.” "At the A W’ashiruton dispatch says: meeting of tho Washington Monnment Society Colonel Casey made some very in terestiug statements, to the members in re* gurd to his observation of tbe habits of the ■nonnment, for it appears that the great obelisk is a moving, if not a living thing, and that it lias a regular swaying motion when tbe snn is shining upon it. On every bright day the apex of the monnment moves at least one inch westward in tbe morning when the snn's rays lint fall upon it, and eastwaid in the afternoon when the ann reaches the western side. The heat of the sun's rays have an expansive effect upon the masonry, and the plummet that is suspended in tho interior of the monu ment registers this movement from day to Accokdino to the statement of a China man of intelligence and education, who lec- t ired in Brooklyn the other night, Ameri cans have a very mistaken notion concern, ing the Chinese queue. The queue is worn in Chirv merely because it is the fashion, and not, as is generally supposed, because it has any religions significance. Chinamen got their queues in the first place from the Mancho Tartars. A civil war was in prog- res* in China in 1070, and the Emperor of the Mauchus was invited to ally himself with one of the chiefs. He did so, and after the common enemy was overcome he conquered his ally also, and became the ruler of China. He then introduced the queue by force, through an edict, by which he sentenced to decapitation all those who would not wear their hair in this peculiar style. Since then the qnene has become popular, and is now the thing to wear in China. The primitive Chinese costume, which was formeslj quite pretty, under went very considerable modifications at the hands of the Tsrtsrs. been longbt out on tbe ground cbosen and by the selected combatants. Mr. Cleve land's letter, while in the main, strong and concise in language and statement, may be regarded as untimely. He is but a com ponent part of the government of the United States, and while he may indulge his Bwoet will to a certain extent, there are other peo ple and other opinions, prerogatives and rights to be regarded. In tbe issue as made, tbe Democrats ard all honest people will stand by Mr. Cleve land, as a matter of right. The Democratic party will occupy this position, for it would be an unpardonable suppression of the truth to say that he commands either tbe sym pathy, the confidence, or the enthusiasm of that party. I£ his friends and advisers have induced him to make this move vrith a view of con solidating the scattered hosts that placed him in power, and to divert their attention from his peculiar administrative methods, it is quite safe to say Ibal it will prove a dismal failure. If Mr. Cleveland aspires to lead tho Democratic party, he mnst place himself in f nil accord and sympathy with it. There will be a tedious, ugly and wrang ling tight, in which the advantages will alternate, and which will close with the ex haustion of one or the other adversary. Tho Senate will fail to receive public sanc tion in an attempt to force Mr. Cleveland to divulge his reasons for the suspension of Republican officials, and it will attract nothing of public sympathy and admira tion, that it rejects bis bad appointments for this reason rather than in the interest of honest civil service reform. This Inst, judiciously used, will nnboree.bim, but the Republicans will defeat themselves by their ow n "offensive partisanship." In tbe courso of the row Mr. Cleveland ill bo fearfully braised and torn, op this same "offensive partisan” dodge. He can not defend himself, and there is no man in position who will be foolish enough to at- mpt a defence for him. But to the Democratic party the closing sentence of Mr. Cleveland's message Is the most important, interesting, and wo may truthfully add, disappointing. He sayB : "Neither the discontent of party friends nor the allurements constantly offered of confirmations of appointees conditioned upon the avowal that suspensions have been made on party grounds alono, nor the implied proposition in the resolution now before tbe Senate that no confirmation will be made unless the demands of that body be complied with, are sufficient to discour age or deter me from following in tbo way which I am convinced leada to tbe better government of tbo people." Mistakes, bad .appointments, diverse methods, tbe cooling of tbo ardor of friends, tbo distraction of the Democratic party, all combined can not shake the sublime self poiso of this man. He grits bis teeth, contracts his eyebrows, compresses bis Ups, twiddles bis thumbs and swears that he will run tbe Democratic party or perish in the attempt. This may be high and in telligent courage, or animal atnbborness. It matters not which, tho Democratic party is yet to be beard from. To-dsy Mr. Cleveland completes the first year of bis official power. It bos become painfnlly evident, that be is too small a peg for tbe large hole be ia attempting to fill. He is a conspicuous example of the fact, that the President of this country should be a statesman, that statesmen are made, not born, and thnt a lager beer saloon and a shrievalty are not the training schools for great leaders. Tbe Democratic party will,not support a mun wbo is blatant iu profession of civil service reform, and makes appointments that are a disgrace to any people, and who seolu shelter behind petitions, tbe miser able documents that be bad denounced os being os cosy in manufacture as they are worthless in illnstration of honeat popular sentiment. The Democratic party will rejoice if Mr. Cleveland ahtll triumph orer a hoatile and partisan Senate, but it can find no comfort nr satisfaction in bis declaration that noth ing can turn him from the devious and un wise course tliut has marked bis career as President. Mr. Cleveland flatters himself, that he will be vindicated and sustained by bis ap peal to tbe people. No people will con done sach appointments ns some be has made in Georgia and other States, which ore a mockery to the "honest civil service reform” set forth in the platform upon which he was elected, and his pandering to the lowest specimens of siioilsmen, who by tbe chance of political fortunes have been wrapped for the time in Senatorial togas. The people compose the two great par- ttea of tbe country, and both of these or ganizations stand aghast at the spectacle of an administration which seeks its inspira tions from a handful of mugwumps, without convictions on any subject, and who fight between the lines, and draw rations from the commissariat of that organization which may be most complaisant and convenient. as soon us it struck the water, and did no good. Oukum was then dipped into paint- oil and it was allowed to drip into the pipes. The deck then became as dry ns in fine weather. Tbe oil was used from 7 a. m. until 4 p. m. Capt. Mitchell, commanding tbe English steamer Mentmore, states that on his voy age from Baltimore to Liverpool during a heavy westerly galo be used oil-bags with remarkable effect. Ho bung one forward and one aft. Tile ship bad been rolling heavily and taking large quantities of water on deck, but in a few minutes after placing the bags over tho ship's side she rode quite easily and shipped no more water. Capt. W, H. Hill reports that w hile on board the schooner Elizabeth, bound from New York to New Berne, N. C., he got into a heavy gate off llatteras; wind northeast, heavy sea. Conld not clear the Diamond and had to send through Hatteras 'Slougli. The sea boarded the vessel and took the bulwarks away. Fearing for tbe vessel’s safety, oil was poured over tho stem, a tit tle at a time from an ordinary (tone jug. This at once smoothed the surface of the sea, making it purtako of the nature of ground-swell, and tbe Elizabeth went on without shipping any more water. A brig, seeing the smooth water astern of this ves sel, steered for her wake and ran through under close-reefed top sails, keeping in the smooth water: able to expend $182,572.57. Butler also seized $210,090.84 of Confederate funds in the Citizens’ Bank in Jude, 18G2, which • he sold in August, 18G3, for $73,030.30. The remainder of the Confederate currency seized at New Orleans to tbe amount stated above is now stored in the treasury. Sir. Manning's View* on Silver Coinage and Bl-SIetallain. In reply to a resolution of Congress, Mr. Manning, tbe Secretary of the Treasury says "It is now become plain, to all wbo take comprehensive and practical views of public policy that the United States can do no better than return at the earliest possi ble date to a bimetallic unit of value. By this 1 mean, “1. Tbe monetary unit embodied in coins both of silver and of gold. "2. Tbe monetary unit of value embod ied in ibe silver coin to be made and kept in that successive and simultaneous equiva lence with tbe present nnd prior nnit of value which baa been our honorable dis tinction ever since tho constitution was framed. ‘3. Open mints for tbe free coinage of gold nnd silver at a fixed ratio to every citi zen of tbe United States bringing either metal and the right to have his coins re ceived in every sale and payment as full le gal tender dollars. 4. Nothing less than this is bimetalism. It is not bimetalism that we are . having now. All onr silver coinage is but an ex cessive subsidiary coinage of tho treasury purchases of silver, for a factitious treasury profit. We lack an Indispensable part of bimetalism. We lack the free coinage of everybody's silver, to an amount unlimited by the government into coins of full legal tender. We only maintain a free coinago for everybody’s gold to an amount un limited by government into coins of fall legal tender. Our $550,000,000 coined gold, $220,000,000 coined silver now Quite a valuable industry is now carried on in France, in tbe utilization of tbe vari ous kinds of feathers formeily treated as worthless, especially those oblained in plucking ducks, chickens, turkeys and those of wild fowl and other birds killed as The plan pursued consists in .trim- THE RAVAGES OF A TEnitl. RLE CURSE, rning these, particularly the larger ones, off the stump, which may be thrown away, the plumes then being made use of in the manufacture of a feather cloth or blanket, which possescs Ihe essential quality of being exceedingly tight nnd at the same time very warm. Tbe plumes which are separated from the stalk arc placed in a bag, closed tightly, and then subjected to tabbing be tween the bands, ns in washing clothes. In a few minutes tbe fibres are by this means separated from each other, and form a per fectly homogeneous nnd very light down applicable by simplo operation to tbe production of quite a variety of coverings and other household objects at a reasonable cost. baa 1 Capt. Mumford, of tbe British steamship North Anglia, in October, 1884, during a hurricane had bis main-wheel gear carried away, and was obliged to'steer aft. A navy clothes bog, punched irregularly with a needle, was partly filled with five gallons of lard oil, and the month sewed ,up. This was slung by a span from tbo ends of the mast so os to ride opposite to the centre of it. The wholo apparatus was put over, board with sixly-tivo fathoms of lino, tbo schooner being at the time under a close- reefed triangular mainsail. It tended three points off tbe weather bow, keeping tho schooner within three or four points of the wind. Tho motion of tho waves work ing tbe bag caused tho oil to squirt out through tbe needle-boles, so that the heav. list combing sens wero immediately smoothed on coming in contact with the oil, and reached the vessel more like ground swells than waves due to a severe gale. Capt. Amlot, of the British steamer Bar- rowmore, reports that on approaching the ship Kirkwood, on Juuuary 24, iu latitude 50:41 N., longitude 213X1W., tho sea was very heavy, but he noticed that around the wreck tbo sea was much smoother, und discovered that tbe craw of the Kirkwood, to provent the waves breaking over them, bad broken out tbe cargo of canned salmon and were pouring the oil from tho cons into tbo sen. Sometime since tho Tri.r.onArn suggested that n line of perforated piping abont a ves sel might accomplish tbo effect desired most satisfactorily, the pipes to be supplied with oil from Isnks. This plan bos tbe ad vantage of furnishing oil to the sea on all sides of tbe ship at once. In connection with tho proposed tight ships in tho Atlantic, oil bnoys might be rigged up and so acbored as to create a harbor in mid ocean, wherever one ot these sbipe is anchored. And such light ships are now in use and exposed to tbe fury of wind and wave might be greatly protected by the use of oil. The subject is one that grows under the pen. make any policy save ultimate birnct- alism for tho United States practi cally and politically a Utopian policy. Stopping tbe coinage of treasury purchases of silver is. not a policy in which we can rest and be thankful. No mint in the world which gives free coinage to silver, except our own, no mint in the world which gives free coinage to gold, now coins full legal tender silvor. Tbe United States alone heaps up tbe load, and the sure outcome is silver monometalism for us. But silver monometalism in the United States will not restore tho old price anymore than tho silver monometalism of India, China and Mexico does, and in that respect is worse than our present limited coinage. "Bnt beyond there is one way, and one way only, by which silver can be restored to its old ratio and value nnd that is by an international concert npon a common ratio with open mints to both metals nnd that ratio. The secretary argues that a concert European powers without tho concur, rence of the United States is impossible, and that a concert of Europoan powers, to gother with tho United States, until we atop coining silver, is also impossible. long as we do not stop, and stop unconditionally, our coinage of full legal tender ailver we cannot destroy foreign hopes ot enlarging their stock of gold at our oxpenso. But I am equally well assnrred that when we do stop uncon ditionnlly, and destroy such hopes, such an international concert ns I have described will then become possible. Tho situation of bimetnlic European nations will then tie no better than oars, and, for the first time since the fall in value of their full legal tendors silver will offer no other out come than agreement, with suitable precau tions, upon open mints at a fixed and com mon ratio to which the assent of tbe United States would be indispensable. 'The secretary closes his communication with the remark that it is nseless to discuss the methods of restoring bimetalism until Congress shall determine to stop the coin age and place that indispensable condition of negotiation in the bnnds of thoao mast execute its will.’" Shreds and 1’atchea.
