GRANTS PEACE PROSPECTS.

What We Gain by the German Decision.
The CHRONICLE dispatches report that
he Emperor, William appointed Arbiter,
by the Washington Treaty, has decided
the San Juan boundary case in favor of
the United States, after consultation with
the most eminent legal talent of his EN-
pire:
The decision of these gentlemen is that
the Canal de Haro is the proper boundary
between the continent and Vancouver's
Island, as the United States alwaysamain-
tanned it was. The British Government
have held that the Rosario strait, which is
the nearest channel to the main land, was
the proper line of demarkation. Accord
ing to our view of the case, in which the
German jurists entirely coincide, we are
entitled to the possession of the island of
San Juan and several other lesser islands
between the Gulf of Georgia and the strait
of Juan de Fuca.
THE ISLAND AND A HISTORY OF THE
DISPUTE.
The island of San Juan is about fifteen
miles in length, and in its widest part,
about seven, and contains about forty
thousand acres of land. The northern
portion is mountainous and heavily TIM
bered, but the southern part has many
beautiful prairies, and is exceedingly fer
tile. The pasture is so nutritious that the
mutton raised upon it is remarkable for
the delicacy of its flavor. There is near
the harbor valuable quarry of limestone.
These disputed islands contain the only
limestone quarries as yet found on the
| American side of the waters of Puget
sound, and up to the working of the quar-
nv on San Juan all limestone used for
building purposes in this portion of Wash
| ington Territory had to be brought from
Vancouver's island or California, Coal is
also found in this archipelago. On the
lower end of San Juan are the best fishing
waters on the sound. Great quantities of
hallibUt. Goldfish, and salmon are taken by
the Indians, who for this purpose resort
to this vicinity at certain seasons. When
the Hudson Bay Company used San Juan
as fishing station they were in the habit
OF, putting up yearly 5000 barrels OF
salmon.
From this source alone profitable busi-
ness might be established. The popula-
ton of the island is at present about four
hundred, of which two hundred are mill
tary. There are seven large islands be-
tween the disputed channels besides many

to have arrived. The continued working
Of afflicted horses is beginning to tell in
the rapid increase of dangerous cases.
Not many deaths have been reported as
vet, but it is known that deaths are oc-
curing. 1t is the opinion of veterinary
surgeons that the distemper may not prove
fatal but horses will suffer sometime from
weakness. The Sanitary Committee re-
ported to the Board of Health yesterday,
''That the disease was thought, generally,
not to be fatal or contagious. The course
of it seems to be: Say, Friday the animal
appears to be sick and on Saturday worse (;
Sunday the malady attalnS its climax.
On Monday the horse improves, and on
Tuesday is almost fit for work. Its effect
on business has not yet been very severely
felt, but already the cost of draying and

prices.

decision on the San Juan boundary ques-
ton was communicated simultaneously to-
day to the American and English embas-

Odo Russell, visiting Bancroft, con-
graduated him upon the settlement of the
San Juan boundary. Russell said the last
cause for a difficulty between England

was very cordial.
LONDON, Oct. 25,-The London Times
says: 1.-The decision is unsatisfactory, I'M
clean and indecisive, but we accept it with
loyal submissivenessn The Times also
says: ave repudiate the utterly absurd

posed at Berlin with view of modifying

considers the award as damaging to the
interests and diplomatic reputation of
England, as was the award of the Geneva

WHO WILL BE ELECTED.

The willy Narragansett Looming Up.


The willy Narragnnsett Looming Up.
The Athens Post is for Cheatham, but
WINS is candid, innocent old soul and
wouldn't heartlessly awaken hopes in the
Radical breast, that he knew were to be
so soon dashed to the ground. Here are
his figures
In the aggregate vote of the counties
comprising lower East Tennessee-name-
ly, Loudon, Monroe, McMinn, Meigs,
Polk, Bradley, Hamilton, James, Marion,
Bledsoe, Rhea and Sequatchie-G General
Cheatham will beat Mr.. Johnson at least
1000. Now, we have II 900 votes, or say
$4,000, in the rest of East Tennessee, to be
divided between them. Of this number
we think it is fully safe to say Gen. Cheat
ham will receive 1000, or one-third of the
larger figure, leaving Mr.. Johnson 5000
with which to enter lower East Tennessee,
where he is reduced 1900. So that the
very best that we can do is to get him tn
the top of the Cumberland G,OOO ahead of
Cheatham, where we are assured the lat
ter will meet him with a majority of 25,-
600. We think these figures in regard to
East Tennessee are liberal towards Mr..
Johnson.
But where is our old ante-bellum Wing
friend, Horace Maynard, all this time?
What is he about? His more sanguine
partisans say they can give him IS 900
votes. Will they do it? We think not
and that the estimate is too high by 5000
at least. Brownlow went out of East Ten.
nessee at his last election with Is, 999 votes
or 2,101 more than Wisener got against
Brown in 1870. Maynard's vote in East
Tennessee will not likely fall below 90
0O0-it may reach $4,000, or 1000 more
than johnson and Cheatham's combined
We have no data as to Maynard's strength
in Middle and West Tennessee, but reason
ably infer that it will prove equal to
Brownlow's last vote, which would run
him about 10000. One other remark-if
Maynard should get anything near 10000.
the man that beats him will have to beat
his other competitor at least 10000 votes.
We can't figure it out any other way, and
pass the slate to the reader for his exami-
nation.

The letters received by the Democratic

A colonel has to ride on horseback
doesn't he? asked the wide-awake Yam,
kee.
Yes, sometimes-once in a while
/ but that isn't anything, you know.
It isn't, Ell -? You can't play that OF
me. I know all about riding on horse
! back. 1 never rode on horseback an
hour in my life without having to take
my meals from a mantelpiece for three
days afterward.
And so he went on, coEfessing his
unfamiharity with everything appeF-
tanning to a Colonelcy, with such
frankness and humor as made the Off
GERS and men all the more determined
to have him for their commander; and
they got him. Having been elected to
the command of the Ninth regiment,
he at once set about learning his duties,
and made such rapid progress that he
soon became a proficient. The writer
hereof was at Long Branch while the
Ninth was recently encamped there,
and had opportunities to see Col. Fisk
in camp, at drill and on parade, and
can bear testimony to his efficiency and
popularity as a regimental commander.
THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH
of the matter is, James Fisk, Jr., was
man of prodigious talent. His per-
ceptiye, constructive and executive
powers were all of high order. If he
had ever gone back, in spirit and sin
cerity of soul, to his mothers knee
and his mothers prayers, and allowed
the germs of religious truth which, IN
that old New England home, were ear
ly implanted in his heart, to spring up
and bear their legitimate fruit, and
dominate the tone and color and char
acter of his life, there Is no saying to
what height of popularity and useful
ness he might have risen. We have
had opportunities of seeing closely
many great men, and have penetrated
the reeesses of their characters, and
have studied them well; and having
this In mind, we do not hesitate to say
that we have never known any human
being, with the single exception of
Henry Clay, who could compete IN eIe-
ments of popularity with James Fisk,
Jr., if, in addition to his other quail
ties, he had also been a downright,
sincere, pure-hearted Christian man.
Col Fisk would have been a favor
tie in the church, and irresistible as a
temperance refOrmer He would have
made robust Christian and a mellow
one. An exhOrtation to godliness and
virtue would have come from his lips
with unusual unction. His executive
ability would have come into grand
and benificent play IN running a revi-
val. He would have been apt to win
as much distinction IN the army of the
Lord as he has won in the militia of
the Empire State.

Our baby boy is king is king!
lie rules with mighty sway,
But before you can understand the thing
You must watch his way for day.
From pOking my sleepy eyes at dawn,
lie turns TO my boots on the floor,
And plays such pranks with them on the sly
AS no ono e'er dreamed Of before.
IN vain. when I wake, I tug and pull
The boot is no longer fiti
And baby looks on in his innocent way;
You'd never suspect him bit.
You'd never dream, till you turned them out
What treasures a boot can hold
But bless you! it's only a trick of the kings;
It's better to laugh than to scold.
And so all day the king. our boy,
Makes mischief his royal pleasure;
He laughs and cries, and kisses and fights,
And still is Onr blessed treasure.
Asleep at last in his downy bed
Now a cat may look at our king,
And never DO teased or maui ed at all.
Which you II own is wonderful thing.
And we-mamma and myself-WclI, We
Are just his father and mother; -,
So we bend Ger the sleeper, and proudly think
There never was such another.

GOOD MASsEEs. Young should
be mannerly. How to be so, is the
question. Many a good girl and boy.
feel that they can't behave to suit
themselves IN the presence Of cOmpa-
ny. They feel timid, bashful and
self-distrustful the moment they are
addressed by a stranger, or appear in
company. There is but one way to get
over this feeling and acquire easy and
graceful manners, that is, do the best
they can all the time at homo as well
as abroad. Good manners ara not
learned by arbitrary teaching 50 much
Is acquired by habit. They grow
upon US by use. We must be courte-
Gus, agreeable, civil, kind, gentleman
ly and womanly at home, and then it
will become a kind Of second nature
to be so everywhere. A course, rough
manner at home begets a habit Of
roughness which We cannot lay of Il
we Try, when we 60 among strangers.
The most agreeable people we have
ever known IN company are those who
are perfectly agreeable at home.
Home Is the school for all good things,
especially for good manners.
