THE THIMBLE.

The name Of this little instrument, used by
tailors and seamstresses for urging the neddle
through cloth, is said to have been derived rom
thumb" and "bell, - being at first humble, and
afterward thimble. It is OF Chinese invention
and assintroduced in England about the year
1886 by John Lotting, who came from Holland
and commenced its manufacture in Islington near
London, and pursued it with great profit and sue
cess. Formerly iron and brass were used, but
lattery Isteel, silver and gold have taken then
places In the ordinary manufacture thin plates
of metal are introduced into a die. and then
punched into shape. In Paris gold thimbles are
manufactured to q large extent. Thin sheet-iron
is cut into DISCS of about two inches in diameter
These being he ated to red head, are struck with
punch into number of holes, gradually increas
ing in depth to give them the proper shape, it is
then trimmed, polished and indented around it's
outer surface with a number of little holes by
means of small wheel It is then converted into
steel by the concentration process, tempered, scour
ed and brought to a bl color. thin sheet O
gold is then introduced into the interior and fas
tened to the steel by means of polished steel
mandrel. Gold leaf is then applied ato the out
side and attached to it by pressure, the sdges
being fastened to a small groove made to re
ceive them. The thimble is then finished and
ready for use.

SMALLPOX IN LONDON carried of eight
thousand of the inhabitants Of the English
capital during the past year. The ravages OF
the disease were at times frightful, and always
alarming. The mortality records of the city
show that the yearly average Of deaths from
the disease during thiriy-one years before was
six hundred. The observance of sanitary pre-
cautions is inculcated with much force by the
medical journals and scientists. New York
should take warning, aud read the lessons at

about. II is doubtful whether Napoleon III.
could trace the steps by which he was
brought face to face with the Prussians on the
Rhine. The two countries were drifted by the
force of events into struggle which they both
courted and desired, and which neither took
any active step to bring about. In the same
way our war with Spain is coming. 1t is not
matter to be secuted or to be laughed at,
but subject for calm and deliberate consider
alton. The active preparations of the Navy
Department must 60 forward, and Congress
must come to the aid of the Secretary OF
the Navy. These things are necessary
whether we are to have war with Spain
or not. At any moment the struggle may
begin. The commander of the Terror may
inaugurate it this very day. The instructions
to our naval officers now In Cuban waters are
broad enough for this and, while the admin
istratiop desires it, this is precisely what is
feared. There Is something anomalous in
this, but the probabilities of the future
are war. When 1t comes we shall realize the
fact just as we have been forced to contem-
plate the possibility we may even recognize
the spark which kindled the flame, but the
gradual steps by which it was reached will be
matters for philosophical deduction rather
than historical record. The delicacy of our
relations with Spain is all that is now on the
surface, but the first gun may he fred before
we begin to understand how we drifted into
the war.

THE GRAND DUKE ALEXIS GooD SHOT,
The Cincinnati Times Of the Sd instant
says :--'The Grand Duke, among bis other
accomplishments, is a very fair shot. IL
would trouble most of our amateurs to kill
tweuty-one birds out OF thirty sprung from a
trap at twenty-one PAGES distance. Mr.. Bergh
will regret very much that he was not
present.

The New Loan-The Rothschilds Want
Six Hundred Million Dollars Of 1t.
A cable despatch from London states that
the Messrs. Rothschild, conformity with the
London house of Jay Cooke, MoCulloch & Co.,,
have forwarded to Secretary Boutwell, propo-
sition to take six hundred million dollars of
the new loan, and, although the telegram gives
only the above meagre outline of the offer, the
inference is drawn that the bonds wanted are
the remaining three hundred million dollars
of the five per cents and the entire three hum
dred millions Of four and half per
cents. The other terms on which the
subscription is offered were not known
in financial circles last evening, but it was
intmated that they would not defeat the nego-
tiation, the chief obstacle being the quasi con-
tract on the part of Mr.. Boutwell, with the
subscribers to the first instalment of two hun
dyed millions of dollars of five per cents, that
future subscribers to the new loan should be
made to take proportion of the four per
cents. 1t will be remembered that we called
attention at the time to the loose wording Of the
original Treasury circular on this point, which
was differently viewed as a contract and again
as mere possible contingency, to be enforced
or not in future negotiations. The plump
offer Of the Rothschllds to take 80 large an
amount of the new loan is indicative
of the wonderful appreciation of American
credit abroad, especially in England, where
the diffusion of better knowledge of this
country has uprooted old prejudices against
us and bestirred the universal John Bull to
think whether there is not better investment
than his time-honored three per cents and as
stable a government as that which rules the
destinies of his tight little island.

OUR SPANISH CoRREsPoNDENoR-THE MAD
RID Press. The letter Of the HERALDs cor
respondent from the Spanish capital, which we
print in another column this morning, gives us
taste of the quality of the Madrid press on
the Cuban question. If we may judge from the
tone OF the extracts furnished Spain is full Of
fight. Not content with the war in Cuba on
her hands, she wants now to try conclusions
with the United States. With her navy she is
going to sweep American commerce from the
seas. She threatens terrible things If we
do not behave ourselves and permit her SOL
diers and volunteers in Cuba to 40 on in their
Wholesale butcheries in the Gem Of the
Antilles. In fact, there are dreadful calamities
10 store for US if we do not mend our ways to
suit her.

MINCE MEAT IN THE FIJs.-The Fiji
Islanders appear to be nationally and person
ally averse to the new system of modified
slave trade which has been carried on for
some time past along the shores of their ter
ritory by white men coming in the garb of
labor employment agents. The latest reports
from the islands inform us that six white men,
with recreant native, had just been MUIR
dered there. The bodies of four Of the white
men were hacked to small pieces with
hatchets, making horrible miuce meat, the
odor of which will, we fear, have very de-
moralizing effect on missionary enterprise in
the district, and may, perhaps, provoke a
serious feeling of nausea and for retaliation
against our ally of the Treaty Tooth at the
antipodes.

General Sherida. and His Alleged Usur-
The report of General Sheridan to the War
Department, in relation to events in Chicago
after the great fire in that city, is calm and
deliberate statement of case which has ex-
cited much public interest. All the orders
which emanated from the Military Headquar-
tiers of the Division of the Missouri are given
in full, and these, together with the careful
history Of the action Of General Sheridan, re-
feet credit rather than discredit on that dis
tinguished officer. II was as pure in my mo-
tives," says General Sheridan, in concluding
his report, ''as are those Of the whole world
who are now sending their charities here to
relieve the distressed" The report clearly
proves this, and the subsequent action of Gov
ernor Palmer, it is plainly discernible, was
not only an efterthought, but a piece of per-
sonal or partisan ill-will. In regard to Gov
ernor Palmer General Sheridan says EFF
His Excellency Governor Palmer had, on the
18th Of October, when I telegraphed him, or
on the 10Th, when saw him personally, init
mated that my course was distasteful to him,
would have accepted any wise suggestions
which he might have made to satisfy the de-
mands of people Frustrated and sick at
heart from the loss Of very large part of
their beautiful CITY," These few words are
Sheridans best defence, and they leave his
record even brighter than before.

WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR MENoo?-
The general tenor Of tbe news we Invariably
receive from that Inflated country can be
almost anticipated. 1t is of never-ceasing
pronunciamentos, of marching and counter
marching, of small battles and doubtful vic
tories, of revolutionists defeated in one part OF
the country and triumphant in another, Of
forced contributions, general insecurity and
robberies by banditti. Such is the budget
Of news presented this morning by our latest
despatch from the Mexican capital. And yet,
in spite Of this gloomy state Of affairs, the
government of Juarez is sanguine of ultimate
success so are the revolutionists, and with
equal show of good reasons.
Some years ago, when the question Show
to remove the grievances Of Ireland" came
up in the British Parliament, an insolent
member proposed as the most effective remedy
for Irish grievances s'To put Ireland for twenty
four hours under water" This remark would
be to the point and of useful application as re
CARDS Mexico, for the salvation Of that chaotic
country lies either in mutual humiliation Of
the contending parties or in speedy armed
Intervention by the United States government.

THE RISING CLOUD ON THE SPANISH H0RI-
zoN.-The United States once had din.
Guilty with the Spanish government in regard
to an American citizen, resident in Havana,
named Thrasher. When the question Of the
time was put-'What shall we do with
Spain?" echo answered, ''Thrash-her. That
was probably the best answer echo ever made
in that connection. The black and ominous
cloud that is now rising upon our relations
with Spain bespeaks anything but a long con-
tinuarce of friendly relations with that Power.

with rides and knives, accompanied
by General Sheridan and sabred horse
men, and tribe Of whooping Indians
headed by Spotted Tail HIMSELF to murder the
peaceful buffalo and take the life of the gentle
antelope. Talk of the company of overworked
and harmless gentlemen, with their shotguns,
winging flock Of pigeons in Jerome Park.
Here is such cruelty to animals as was never
known before. But thank Heaven, our valiant
Don Quixots is equal to the occasion. His
soul is not to be overawed by any Grand Duke
or terrified by the martial glance of Sheridan.
He will pursue them to the very heart of the
Plains. The conqueror Of Ira Paine will soon
measure canes with the Grand Duke. If that
illustrious Prince imagines that he can invade
our prairies and modest the harmless buffalo.
he little knows the mighty and intrepid soul of
Don Quixote Bergb.
Armed with his cane, succored by his Sancho
Panza from the police station, and with reti-
nue. of constables Don Quixote will go forth
to vindicate his great theories of animal life.
1t will be noble sight 1t is the middle of
the prairie. The Grand Duke and his party
have ridden down herd and attacked
young bull. The Indians are whoop-
ing around and shooting their arrows.
The chase is at its height. Suddenly vision
comes over the horizon. 1T is a mirage"
says the Grand Duke, ''and the vision recalls
my early readings in the immortal page of
Cervantes." NO." says Sheridan, as the
vision approaches and the Knight of the Rue
full Countenanoe gallops up on his Rosinante,
lit is Bergh. The protector Of pigeons has
come to save the buffalo. Grand Duke, we must
surrender |" And home again, Don Quixote
leading and the royal party in trail; the whole
party are marched into tho presence of q
magistrate and put in bonds; the buffalo are
unmolested, happy; justice is INDICATED, and
a Russian Prince learns that there are fools in
America, who when they mean to show what
folly can really do surpass anything known N
the civilized or Nncivilzed world.

General Ketchum at the time OF his decease.
1t is complete reductio od a6surdum Of the
theory Of the prosecution, which places
Its allegations in an order exactly
inverse to those given. Many more
days must elapse before the case
goes TO the jury; but the impression that the
case for the prosecution has broken down
takes away much speculation on the result.
Now, what is painfully apparent throughout
this trial IL the woful incompetency Of the
medical men engaged to analyze the contents
of the stomach in the first instance. For the
accused woman whose life is in jeopardy We
have profound sympathy that her chances of q
shameful death rested on the fallacious and
careless conclusions of such disRraces
to profession which is nothing II
not exact and absolute. The failure
of the analyses will unfortunately
leave painful gap which it will be found i'm
possible to I'LL. It may be proven that anti
mony was not found but it cannot be now
declared with certainty that it could not have
been. This is extremely regrettable, as much
for Mrs. Wharton's sake as in the pure inter-
ests of justice. 1t teaches lesson that when
searches and analyses of this kind are required
to be made none but the highest obtain
able science should be used, as none other La
anything better than farcical and criminal.
The public will watch the remaining days Of
this extraordinary trial with intense interest.
