The TREATY. Sir Stafford Northcote,
in the English House of Commons, said
his speech at Exeter on the Treaty OF
Washington, which created so much
comment especially on this side OF the
water, was correctly reported in the
London journals. He repeated what he
then said-that while at Washington he
understood that the indirect claims were
never to be presented. He declined to
90 further into detail without the requi-
site notice, which was Immediately given
bv Mr.. Bouverie, so that more about the
matter may be expected soon, which VIII
at least be interesting to American ears.
Mr.. Gladstone replied to several ques-
lions from Disraeli, expressing regret at
the premature publication of the supple
mental article, and informing the House
that her M"jesty's government had re-
ceived official notification that the Sen
ate had agreed to the new article. 1t
would, however, he thought, be prema-
ture to announce what steps would be
taken bv Great Britain, with reference
to her appearance at Geneva, until all
the negotiations were settled. The Lon
don Journals mingle their qualification at
the. success of the article, with compil-
ments to the United States government
The effect of the ratification has been to
render American securities tirmer in the
London markets.

FANNY FERN ON THE PREVAILING
STYLE.-When say that the street dress
of the majority of respectable women of
New York to-day is disgusting, I but
feebly express my emotions. say the
respectable women, and yet, save to them
who know them to be such, their appear
ance leaves wide margin for doubt.
The clown at circus wears not more
parti-colored costume; in fact, his has
the advantage of being sufficiently "taut," "
to use nautical phrase, not to inter
fere with locomotion; while theirs-what
with disgusting humps upon their backs,
and big rosettes upon their shoulders, and
loops, and folds, and buttons, and clasps,
and bows upon their skirts, and striped
satin petticoats, all too short to hide
their clumsy ankles-and more colors and
shades of colors heaped up on one poor
little fashion-ridden BODY than ever was
gathered in one rainbow-and all this
worn without regard to temperature, or
time, or place. say this presents a
spectacle which is too disheartening to
be comical One cannot smile at the
young girls who are one day-Heaven
help them-to be wives and mothers

TUGBoAT ExPLosIoNs.-Another steam
tug exploded it's boiler in the harbor,
Killing six and woundipg four men. The
wonder is, not that these little boats
blow up so frequently, but that we do
not have ten accidents of the sort where
we have one now. The engines used III
these tugs are all of the high pressure
pattern, an, the boilers have seldom less
than ninety pounds of steam to the
square inch. When it is remembered
that the average pressure of steam used
in the Hudson River pasSenger-boats Is
twenty eight or thirty pounds, and that
even under this pressure boiler some
times explodes. it is evident that the
boilers on board these tugs should be
far stronger and better in every way
than those of the Hudson River boats.
The fact notoriously is that the tugboat
boilers are in many cases old and eaten
with rust, and that they are in charge of
engineers who certainly are not at the
head of their profession. Therefore, as
we have said, the wonder is not that We
have SO maay, but that we have so few,
tusboat explosions.-N. Y Paper.

HORRIBLE IF TRUE.-The slavers of the
South Sea Islands have barbarous way
of securing their human stock in trade.
According to Commodore Markham, q
British commander on the Australian sta
ton, the men engaged in the slave trade
make treaties with the chief of tribe
who has feud on hand to supply him
with so many heads Of his enemies in ex-
change for live subjects of his own. There
are different methods of decapitation pur
sued. The commanders informant had
been an eyewitness of scene in which
the murderers used their knives. A brig
lay to off au island of the Solomon group,
and canoe full of men put off to her
from the shore. As the canoe passed
under the vessels stern, her stern boat
which had been loosened on purpose, was
suddenly dropped on it, smashing it to
pieces. Boats were lowered and the ma
tives pulled into them, but not to be
rescued. AS soon as they were seized,
their heads were cut off over the gunwale
of the boat with long knives. The British
are taking measures for the suppression
of this horrible traffic.

CRY ADvERTIsING.-That portion Of
the Corporation advertising of New York
city, which has, during the past few years,
enriched the proprietors of the Transcript
with the annual sum of about $3.50, 900 of
public money, has been assigned to the
Register, at all estimate of $500 for the
year. 1t will cost $4,000 to do the COM
position alone, and how the paper, which
is Hotel advertising record can make
money out of it is mystery. If the con-
tract is carried out faithfully it will make
saving. All the New York journals bid
for the advertising but the Register won

Always: A Florida Lyric.

Let the plover pipe in the marshy grain,
The hart and the hind go play,
But the fowler turks in the maiden cane,
And the huntsman hides in the bay.
The eagle may soar like the rising shout
To the very deeps of the sky,
But the whisting bullet will find him out,
Though he be ever so high.
The salmon may leap in fringe Of froth,
And the trout in the lake nay laugh,
But the fisherman's net will have them botf
And cruel the barbed gaff.
fever the blue sky wears a sun
That is glad in the sight of day,
The sorrowing stars come one by one
And gather it's glory away;
And if ever the heart is rich and strong
AS bridegroom's first caress,
The death-grief comes, in its cruel wrong,
And turns it to bitterness.
Then let the plover pipe III the grain,
The tart and the hind go play,
But the fowler turks in the maiden cane,
And the huntsman hides in the bay.

THE MARCH OF INTELLECT.-The late
Prince Albert once paid visit to a school.
and heard the teacher make one of the
classes 90 through what is termed, in the
phraseology of pedagogues, an object les
son. "Now, can you tell me anything
about heat2" was one of the questions.
A bright little man held forth his hand, as
much as to say that he could. "Well,
now, my boy" said the teacher, "what
do you know?" "Heat expands" said
.he boy, in the jerky style of delivery
characteristic of his years. "Heat ex-
pands-cold contracts" The teacher
looked at the Prince for approval. The
Prince bowed his head, and smiled appro-
baton. The teacher, eager for more such
smiles, went on. Every good" he said !;

AN UNDUTIFUL SoN.-A curious case
which recently came before the Thames
police court is thus described by the Pail
Mall Gazette: "a mother prosecuted her
son. William Mason, aged fourteen, for
attempting, to commit suicide by throw
ing himself from window. Mrs. Mason
said her son came home one night, after
being out all day, and asked her for
money and food. She declined to give
him any money, as he was bad boy,
but promised that he should have some
food if he went to situation she had pro-
cured for him. He rushed on to the
window-sill, and was about to jump off,
when she eau ght hold of him and drag
ged him back. He then tried to choke
himself, but she pulled his hands from
his throat which was quite red and
swollen. He tried to jump out of the
window again, but she kept tight hold
Of him, and, calling police constable,
gave him in charge. He had thrown
himself down stairs once before and in
iured himself seriously. She had done all
in her power to correct him, but without
avail. On one occasion she beat him until
he was black and blue. Mr.. Paget sent
the prisoner to prison for week, and
said he would see what that would do"

The Will of James Gordon Bennett.

The late James Gordon Bennett of the
New York Herald always betrayed de-
sire to retain the ownership of the Herald
up to the moment of his death. He lived
only for that purpose, aud any commenda-
tion was ever a key to his heart and good
will. But he was not uhmindful of the
duty of dsposing of his property. Shortly
before his wife and daughter went to
Europe, the venerable journalist made
will which was satisfactory to the family.
He dealt ont his wealth with princely
hand. and each of his three heirs are now
the absolute owners of millions of dollars.
The following are said to be the principal
provisions of the will:
To his son, James Gordon Bennett he
gives the Herald establishment and Herald
Building on Broadway, and also the prop
erty on Fulton, Ann and Nassau streets,
formerly the site of the Herald. - 1t is
said that the will also provides that young
Mr.. Bennett shall not sell the Herald, and
that it shall remain in possession of the
family.
To his widow he gives the mansion,
corner of Thirty eight street and Fifth
avenue. with other real estate uptown.
To his daughter, Miss Jeanette Ben
nett, he gives his mansion and grounds on
Washington Heights, and also some per-
sonal property and mementoes.
The above are said to be the provisions
of the will made by Mr.. Bennett few
weeks before his wife sailed for Europe.
1t is asserted that he neither altered it
nor made another will. The whole period
of his recent illness was used by him
solely to prepare for his last end.
Miss Jeanette Bennett is now about
eighteen years of age. Her father and
brother literally dotted upon her. She was
educated at the Convent of the Sacred
Heart-and so, anxious was young MIR.
Bennett TO have her remain there, that
when a governess whom he had employed
sent her to different institution in his
absence, he discharged the tutor and took
Miss Jeanette back to the sisters.

QUELLxNG A RIoT.-During the recent
riots in the town. of Kharkoff, in the
Province f Ukraine, Russia, the people
were having a holiday drunken bout in
the square of St. Michael, and making a
great noise. The police ordered them to
disperse and deluged them with water,
but this only incensed the people, who
Immediately proceeded to stone the police.
Troops were then called in, but were re-
pulsed with considerable loss of life, and
for over day the rioters held possession
of the town and threatened to do great
damage to government property. The
goverror finding himself powerless ap-
piled to the archbishop to assist him in
restoring order The latter then address
ed the crowd, censured the police and
the troops, and offered to celebrate fu-
neral service for those of the rioters VINO
had been killed. This qnieted the people
for time, and enabled the authorities to
put themselves in q condition to enforce
the preservation of the peace.

MAKING A NEwsPAPER.-TheN New York
Herald when Bennett first started it was
not much larger than sheet of letter
paper, but it gave much light, minute and
cheerful news 1t was full of short para
graphs, printed in small type, and was an
eminently saleable article. 1t sold well
from the first day, but still Bennett had
at first a terrible time. The extreme
cheapness of the paper rendered him ab-
solutely dependent upon its advertisers,
and yet he dared not charge them more
than fifty cents for square of sixteen
lines. So he had to cut down the expen-
ces to aminimum. Hsdid everything him
self. He swept out his cellar, he carried
the paper to the few subscribers it possess
ed in the morning he wrote the editorials,
the news, the criticisms. He did the re-
porting and the book -keeping-all, in fact,
that was done. He sat behind his barrels
and his plank, placidly writing, and when
any one came for paper, he never looked
up, but just said, "put the money on the
counter and take one" His working-day
was sixteen hours. In the morning, from
to 8, he wrote editorials, in his bed
room. During the business hours he was
in the cellar engaged in ordinary routine
of editorial work. about o'clock, hay-
ing provided abundant copy for the COM
positors, he sailed forth into Wall.street
to compile stock tables. and to get matter
for spicy paragraphs. From to 6 he
was in his office again, winding up the
business of the day. In the evening he
was abroad-at the theatres, or concert,
ball, or public meeting, which were faith
fully written up and handed to the print
ers before he went to bed. He thus, like
Atlas, bore the whole weight of his world
upon his own shoulders.
