"_*
evens inant
�"� (From our Regular Correspondent.) ©
Wasninortoy, D. ©., Oct 22, T97.
The sGmiristration can scarce-
ly conceal the satisfaction it feels
at the knockout blow administra-
tered to Senator WolcottTs inter-
national bimetallic commission
by England, butit is striving to
hide it for several gocd and
sufficient reasons. It knows that
it is already under suspicions of
having given England atin, and,
what is more important, it knows
tnat the yotes of Senator Wolcott
and the other five Senators"Car-
tér, Pritchard, Shoup, Warren
and Clarke"who remained in the
Bepublican party, when other
silver Republicans led by Senator
Teller abandoned it, solely be-
cause of their belief that this ad-
ministration would be able to
accomplish something for silver
through some sort of an inter-
national agreewent, will be
needed when the attempt to jam
an administration financial bill
through the Senate is wade this
winter. It remains to be seen
whether their votes can be had.
None of these men are fools.
Their attitude towards the ad-
qinistration financial bill will
probably depend largely upon
whether Senator Wolcott bas
been cured of his international
bimetallism haJlucinations by the
rebuff given him by tke British
government, end whether he sees
through the game that has been
played upon him and his silver
- colleagues and their constituents.
Not only must the administration
get these votes but it must also
get those ot the sold Democrats
"Caffery, Gray, Lindsay and
Smith", and then get the bill tc
a vote in the Seuate, in order to
pass it. And, as though this
outlook was nota source of suffi-
cient worry to Mr. McKinley,
Ozar KeedTs friends are dropping
mysterious hints that he may not
deem it wise to allow the House
to pass any financial legislation
at the coming session of Con-
gress.
With all .its numerous results
England neyer fails to see that
the interests of the humblest
Englishman are protected in the
most remote portion of the world.
Knowing this, chere is much in-
terest felt in Washington in con.
nection with what England will
do abont that correspondent of
_aLondon paper who staryed to
death in the streets of Hevana,
a5 a result of his having been

many. Democratic admirers would,
like to see him back in Congress,
where he was once such a vower.
Gamblers care nothing for men
or political principles in an elec-
tion; they bettheir money to win,
and the fact that they are gladly
taking ali the offers to ~bet
against the regular Democratic
candidate, and even giving of 3
to 1 to tempt betters, tells its
own story, and the gamblers are
not the only men who regard the
election of Judge Van Wyck, the
regular Democratic candidate for
Mayor of New York city, as a
certainty. One wager of eyen
money has been made in Wash-
ington that Van Wyck will poll
more votes than all the other
candidates combined, which was
a case of a manTs backing his
enthusiasm instead of his judg-
ment. Needless to say he wasnTt
a professions! gambler.
Secretary Gage did not deny
the correctness of the statement
published this week purporting
to give the substance of the
financial recommendations of his
annual report to Oongress"
merely said that his report was
not complete and was therefore
not a subject for newspaper uis-
cussion. The three features of
this statewent were the issue of
21 per cent gold bonds in suffi-
cient quantity to refund the
entire bonded debt of the coantry
and to allow $200,000,000 to be
converted into cash; to establish
an issue and redemption bureau
with which shall be deposited
$325,000,000 in gold, to be used
to redeem paper money, and to
make various changes in the
National banking law, inc uding
a reduction of the tax on circula-
tion to a rate just enough to pay
for supervision and the allowance
of banks with $25,000 capital in
towns of less than 4,000 inhabi-
tants. These recommendations
may be made or they may not be
made by Secretary Gage, but
there isnTt the slightesi hesita-
tion in saying that they will
never be favorably acted upon
during the life of the resent
Congress by that body. Every
time the gold bond idea has been
before Congress it has been sat
upon.

Quite a pecutiar and ymusing ca e is
published in the lwt volume of tLe
Nor.h Carolina Supreme Cou.t oRe
ports. it is an indTctment wyainst a
man for ocruelty to animalsT"for
killiag his neighborTs chictens which
were in his garden scratchiag up his
peas, The detendunt was convicted
betore a justice of the peac2, and on
¥
appeal to tho Superior Court was con-
victed there, and op appeal to the
Supreme Court
afficmed.
_ It seems-toolish for a man to incur 30
hig Gonviction was
mucd cost in figbting so frivolous a
case, but we suppose his oblood was
up� and that he wes fighting mad,
The opinion of tae Supreme Court,
delivered by Judge Clark, is quite a
long and able one, as well as humorous.
The court declares that amen has no
more right to kill neighbor's
caicxens, which are scratching up his
garden, than he has to kill his cattle
that might be trespassing in his fieid.
His ouly remedy is oto impound�
them ill damage is paid. That is,
catch them (without hurting them)
aud keep them votil the owner pays for
whatever damage they may have done.

Diving For a Wife.
In many of the Greck islands div-
ing for sporzes forms a considerable
nart of the occupation of the inhabit-
pots. A visitor to this unfrequented
region describes the following rath-
er startling custom. Hesays: ~~Him-
ia, which isa little island directly
opposite Rhodes, is worthy of notice
on account of the singular method
by which the Greek inhabitants cf
the island get their living. On the
bottom of the sea in this locality the
common sponge is found in greater
abundance than in any other part of
the Mediterranean.
oThe natives make ita trade to
gather these, and their income from
this source is far from contemptible.
Their goods are always in demand
among the Turks, who use an in-
credible number of sponges in the
ablutions prescribed by the Moham-
medan ritual. A girl in this island
is not permitted to marry until she
sponges and givena proof of her
depth. But in certain of the islands
this custom is reversed. The father
of a marriageable daughter bestows
her on the best diver among her
suitors. He who can stay longest in
the water and bring up the biggest
cargo of sponges marries the maid,�T

Queer Kinds of Spectacles.
Spectacles, to enable the user to

center, the upper halves being of a
power suited to distance and the
lower halves to reading. Sometimes
& piece is cut out of the glass and a
piece of a different power is put ip
its place. Sometimes the variation
is made by cementing a wafer oi
glass over apart of the spectacle
glasses, and sometimes by grinding
away a part of the spectacle glasses,
crescent shaped glasses, the upper
part of the glass being cut out en.
