Many persons will perhaps breathe a sigh of relief on hearing that Volapuk is doomed in this country at least. French business men will have none of it. Its most energetic apostle and propagator has been sent away from the Paris head­ quarters of the Volapulrists and is now filling an important post as professor of German in a provincial college. This being the case,' the members of the French association of Volapukists have decreed the dissolution of their society. Nevertheless they had at one time great hopes of success, and their strange jar­ gon was almost elevated for a while to the rank of a fashionable fad. Lectures in the new language, which was to undo all the damage wrought by the Babel affair long ago, were attended by numerous students of both sexes, and small sheets in the strange com­ pound of tongues were disseminated every week among adepts and the gen­ eral public. By degrees the craze died out, and the number of Volapukists in Paris dwindled down to a few enthu­ siastic persons full of sentiments peculiar to those who cling through thick and thin to lost causes.--Paris Letter. The Confirmation of Eckela. The confirmation of Mr. Eckels as comptroller of the currency is a victory for Mr. Cleveland, who played a high game and won. It is now known that it caused no little feeling on the part of Secretary Carlisle, who did not think that Eckels was a fit man for the post and said so. Nevertheless he would not antagonize the president in the question of confirmation. Persons who well know the feelings of the president say he is greatly encouraged as to the future, including the senate's reputed hostility on the silver question. The line of battle against the president was formed, and word sent that if he would save himself from defeat, he should withdraw Eckels' name. To which he is said to have replied, in substance, that if (senators chose they might reject the nomination, and he would see them later. This had the effect of producing a sober second thought, and Eckels was con­ firmed. Persons who kiibw the new comptroller say he will astonish Wall street and other financial centers before he has been long in office.--Washington Letter.

H« Swindles the Evidence of the extent to which Wil­ liam Lord Moore carries on his next of kin swindle in America continues to reach me from time to time. One of the latest cases to hand is from a gentleman in Texas, who fortunately saw my warn- • ing in time to prevent him being duped into paying the "tax on legacies and be­ quests" mentioned in the bogus decree of the supreme court of chancery with which thisindomitable rogue had favored him. Really I think that it is time for the police of some nationality to attempt to deal with the swindler, and, so far as I can see, the American police have the first claim upon his liberty, for it is evi­ dent from the correspondence in my pos­ session that this latter victim fell into Moore's hands through an advertisement of a New York claim agency. William Lord Moore is well known at Scotland Yard, and I am convinced that if it Were asked for every assistance would be given in ridding the country of this rascal.--London Truth. Mew Otteera at the Capital. Some of the new public officials who are making their debut on the publio stage have a great deal to learn. As a rule officials acquire cerebral enlarge­ ment in inverse ratio to the length of their service. A new appointee gener­ ally has an exaggerated and exalted no­ tion of his own importance. It takes time and the natural shiftings of the tides to bring him to a realizing sense of the position he occupies and its relation to others. Mr. Olney is an able lawyer and a man of great ability, but he b»u> never before held public office and is in­ clined to be both petulant and arrogant. The other day Representative Moses of Georgia called upon the attorney gen­ eral to offer some suggestions about one of the Georgia appointments under the department of justice. When Moses had stated his business, Attorney Gen­ eral Olney said curtly: £ "Yoa will have to be brief. Mr. Moses flared up. "Things have reached a pretty pass," said he hotly, "when a representative in congress can be spoken to in that fashion by a cabinet officer upon whom he has called on pub­ lic business.. I am not accustomed to be told that I must be brief. Good morn­ ing, sir," he added as he turned on his heel and departed. The attorney gen­ eral realized that he had made a mis­ take. He tried to correct it, but the irate Georgian refused to listen.--Wash­ ington Cor. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Twenty-eight years have elapsed since the fall of the confederacy and the end of the civil war. Daring that short time the bitterness of the past between the sections has died out, and the recur­ rence of the anniversary saw the nation a reunited whole, the grandest govern­ ment and the best country on the face of the globe. Immediately after Appomattox the south accepted the situation and went to work with a will to retrieve her lost for­ tunes, in which she has been remarkably successful. As an example of the effi­ cacy of intelligent industry, the growth of the south during the last 28 years is without a parallel.--Savannah News, The Goat to Have His Day. The most popular place in New York, if the cholera comes, should be Shanty- town, and the proudest animal on the island will be the goat, for Dr. Kiem perer of Berlin, after going over the sub­ ject of securing immunity against chol era, and after trying all methods of vac cination, including the swallowing of a pint of cholera bouillon, finds that tlu milk of an immunized goat docs the work best and most easily. The price of goats has been $5 and upward. When cholera comes, this much ridiculed ani­ mal may take a position in history higher than the sacred bull of Egypt or the vac­ cinated calf of Jenner. Harlem, too, will become the center of New York and not an up town annex.--Medical Record. Public Dinners Are Too Serious. Dinners are much too serious, particu­ larly for the speakers. In Boston, in the week ending March 18, two men dropped dead at public dinners. One of the feasts thus visited was a Tam­ many club dinner on St. Patrick's day, and the fatal visitation did not come until 4 o'clock in the morning. That case may have been simply one of ex­ hausted nature, but about the other there was something almost suggestive of a judgment, for it happened at the annual supper of a Women's Christian Temperance union, and the brother who fell was a Presbyterian clergyman who had just arisen to respond to the toast, "The Temperance Outlook."--Harper's Weekly. Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is. trying by a most methodical mode of life to see how much he can prolong his ripening years. Among other things, he never trises in the morning until the tempera- of his room is at just the right heat.

In a New England city a bright young woman who earns her own living had laved $75 with which to go to the World's fair. A few weeks ago a sen­ sational Boston newspaper started a contest for free trips to the fair. The young woman's friends thought they would surprise her with one of these free trips. They began buying the newspaper coupons and sending them in to be credited to her. Some indiscreet friend let her know what was going on. As her friends were spending so much money for her benefit ehe felt bound in honor to assist. In the end her $75 went into the pool, and in the total over $400 were spent, but this sum was not quite enough. The free trip went to somebody who had 20,500 coupons against her 20,000. She gets nothing for the $400 spent in her behalf, and she will not go to the fair. Hun­ dreds more tried and failed. The news­ paper pocketed thousands of dollars for which it makes no return. But did the newspaper get this money honestly?-- Buffalo Courier. > The Treaty With Rnttsla. The principal point of objection in the proposed treaty with Russia is the ex­ ceedingly loose definition of political of­ fenses in article 3, which exposes a large class of people who come to this country for a refuge from political, social and religious oppression to the malicious machinations of a foreign power, which affords no such guarantees of a fair and just trial under the law as those which constitute the chief pride and privilege of the American people. Standing as this nation does for uni­ versal liberty and human rights, we stultify our own principles and deny our own history when we deprive one worthy tefugee who has been persecuted out of his native land of the guardianship of our beneficent laws and the protection of our courts of justice. Under this treaty the Russian government can come into this country by means of its agents tmd pursue any Russian whom it may see fit to charge with an extraditable offense and demand his immediate surrender, even though he has become a fully natu­ ralized American citizen.--New York &ail and Express. « Unballast Criticism of Gladstone. An edifying exhibition of judicial taste and humor was given by Sir Richard Harington at a church defense meeting at Hereford recently. The county court judge presided, and in closing the meet­ ing he remarked that there was only one person in the universe who would be dis­ satisfied with their proceedings. 'That person was usually described as an old gentlemen. He did not mean Mr. Gladstone. He meant the devil." Sir Richard's elegant persiflage was a fitting supplement to that of Mr. W. Morris, who, speaking on the same day at a meeting held under the presidency of the bishop of Hereford, suggested that if Mr. Gladstone persisted with the Welsh sus­ pensory bill "he might be accused, prob­ ably rightly accused, of treading in the steps of Judas Iscariot." Mr. Morris, however, is but a layman.--London Truth. For He Might Have Been a Bosslan. The case of Lup Chue, the Oiinaman who was arrested for violating the United States registration law, was heard before United States Commissioner A. J. Williams yesterday. Judge Blandin, the attorney for Lup Chue, charged that the state could not prove that Lup Chue was a Chinaman. There was no expert testi­ mony to demonstrate that Lup Chue was not a Japanese, or a Russian, or a Turk, or any other nationality. The state was utterly unable to show what constituted Chinaman, and Lup Chue was dis­ charged.---Cleveland Plain Dealer. Mrs. Astor Is Edging Into the Inner Circle. There seems to have been a misstate­ ment in asserting that Mr. Astor will take up his permanent residence in Eng­ land. Mr. Astor's financial interests will demand his frequent presence in New York. Mrs. Astor will, however, be more constantly in this country, where she has received the most friendly attention from the aristocracy. It wa% noticed that at the drawing room Mrs. Astor was received into the inner circle as a special mark of the queen's favor.-- London Court Journal. t "^eed potatoes and seed corn. - i il^r choice earlv rose potatoes, also a fine lot of Corbet field seed corn, and evergreen afcqorn, at ^ J.

' Secretary Gresham has been fortune*!# enough to score a success within the first six weeks of his service at the head of, the department of state. Peru has promised full reparation fofc the recent attack upon our consular agency at Mollendo, and as an earnest ol her purpose has already removed fronfe office the subprefect of the department in which the assault occurred. Minister Hicks, in reporting the affair, 'spoke ol the person who had been wounded as aadf^ acting consular agent, and since Mr;' Griffith is our accredited representative^ at Mollendo a native of Peru may have been in temporary charge of the con-&;:':!? sulate during the outbreak of mob vio« ' lence. But Mr. Gresham's demand fori , ' reparation was based on the offense com*. j ,1" mitted against the government as well O as on the injury to person and property, r - i i Prompt as that demand was, the re*• sponse of Peru has been equally quic^ W and unequivocal.
