ever since the ratification of the treaty
-Great Britain has held and leaves us,
for the first time in the history of the
United States as o nation, without a

qualification to acknowledge the
prompt and spontaneous action of Her
Majesty's Government in giving effect
to the award in anticipation of any
request from this Government, aad
before the reception of the award signed
by the Emperor, Her Majesty had
given instructions for the removal of

TIE GENEVA ARBITRATION.

When Congress adjourned in June a
question had been raised by Great
Britain, and was then pending, which
for time seriously imperled the
settlement bv friendly arbitration of
the differences existing between the
Government and that of Her Britannia
Majesty. The Treaty of Washington
had been referred to the Tribunal of
Arbitration which met at Geneva,
in Switzerland. The arbitrators, how>
ever, disposed of the question which
had jeopardized the whole of the
treaty, and threatened to involve the
two nations in unhappy relations
toward each other, in manner entirely
satisfactory to this Government, aud in
accordance with the views and policy
which it has maintained The Tiibu>
nal, which convened in December.
concluded its laborious session on the
l4th of September last on that date
having availcd itself Of the discretiona,
ry power given to it by the Treaty to
award sum in gross, it made its
decision, whereby it awarded the sum
Of $l5 100000 in gold as an indem
pity to be paid by Great Britain to the
United States for satisfaction of all
claims referred to its consideration.
This decision, happily, disposed of a
long standing difference between the
two Governments, an3, in connection

BY the thirty-fourth article of the
Treaty Of Washington, the respective
claims of the United States and of
Great Britain in their obstruction O..
the Treaty of the 18th June, 1S47,
defining their boundary line between
their respective territories, were sub
mitted 10 the arbitration of His
Majesty, the Emperor of Ger
many, to decide which of the claims
was most 10 accordance with the true
Interpretation Of the Treaty of 1916.
His Majesty having been pleased to
undertake the arbitration, has the
earnest thanks of this Government and
the people of the United States for the
labor, pains aud care which he has
devoted to the consideration of this
long pending difference have
caused an expression of my thanks to
be transmitted to His Majesty Mr.
Bancroft the representative of this
Government at Berlin, conducted the
case aod prepared the statement on the
part of the United States with the
ability that his past services justified
the public in expecting ut his hands.
AS member of the Cabinet at the date
o. the treaty which has given rise to
the discussion between the Govern
ments, as the Minister to Great Britain,
when the obstruction now pronounced
unfounded was first advanced, and as
the agent and representative of the
Government to present the case and to
receive the award, he has been associa
ted with the question in all its phases,
and 10 every stage has manifested a
patriotic zeal and earncstncss in the
maintenance Of the claim of the United
States. He is entitled to much credit
for the success which has attended
the commission, after patient
investigation of the case and
Of the statement of each party. His
Majesty the Emperor of Germany. on
the 2lst day Of October last, signed his
award in writing decreeing that the
claim of the Government of the United
States that the boundary line between
the territories of Her Britannia Males,
ty and the United States could be
drawn through the DeHaro channel is
is most in accordance with the true
Interpretation OF the treaty concluded
on the 9th of June, 1913, between the
agents OF Her Britannia Majesty and
the United States. Copies of this case
presented in behalf of the Government,
and the statement in reply to each, and

Chinese Ingenuity.

A little incident in California, illus
trates the ingenuity of the Chinese in Il
rather peculiar manner. =" Mickey
McDaniels," as he is familiarly called,
owns IL number of geese, which occasion
ally get in the slough and stray away to
the Chinese vegetable gardens which
border tins pleasant pool. Doubtless
they help themselves toJohu's cabbage
on these predatory excursions, for it is
well known that the descendants of
Rome's ancient presevers have fond
ness for this article. The plan hit upon
10y John to prevent them from crafty
ing their natural propensities was ingen-
ious and novel, and remained undis-
covered until few days since.
Several geese belonging to Mr.. Nc
Daniels had died. and no reason could
be assigned for this strange procedure
on their part, for they were fat and
healthy, and II goose is supposed to be
Il long. lived fowl. But when they were
driven up to be picked the mystery was
solved. Four of the birds were found
gagged in Il singular manner, and one
which can hardly be described. A ring
of fine vine, about two inches in circum-
ference, was found in the mouth OF
each, held there by being turned oven
the top of the head and hooked in under
the feathers. The way it came there is
easily understood. The Chlnaman, when
making these rings, twisted two ends OF
the wire together, farming the end over,
making quite II trong hook. This was
hung GA IA cabbage leaf or other vegeta-
bic, and left to wait for The coming OF
the victim. In feeding the goose would
strike its bill down to pick up tempt
ing morsel, and if one part of the bill
went inside this loop it's doom was
sealed, for the loop would, by the force
of the blow, he turned over the head of
the reckless bird, and the hook, of ne
cesslty, would fasten under the feathers
on top Of the head.
few struggles of this prisoned bird
would draw the fine wire under the
feathers ont of sight and thus the bird
would be left unable to close its bill. In
this condition with his head high in the
air, il would run around in circle until
it was exhausted. Even in being driven
home and observed in that situation, il
would require close inspection to detect
the cause of this strange proceeding on
the part Of the tortured bird Mr.. Me
Daniels had lost large number, and
only discovered the cause accidentally.

MEDICAL CUEsswoRK The profession
al treatment of disease is in great meas
use experimental. If one medicine fails
another is tried. and sometimes this hit or
miss practice is pursued until the resourc-
es of the faculty is exhausted. This, in
the truest sense ofthe word, is emp,ricism.
But when the physician has made a valua-
BILE discovery, he is called by his profess
sional brethren an Empiric because he ad
vertises the result or his labor and re
search. When DR.. Walker of California
introduced his celebrated Vinegar Bitters
as remedy for all blood diseases, he
struck a tremendous blow at the empirical
system, as applied in our hospitals, and in
private practice 1t was soon apparent
that his medicine was not mere pallia-
tive or alternative that only modified the
symptoms of disorder but that it
reached the very source of the malady in
the blood and the secretions, and literally
rooted it out. The process Of renovation
and disinfecton went on together vgor
was impaired to the organs 1om which
the virus of disease had been expelled
That such is the effect of this popular
vegetable remedy, no one who has had
opportunities of observing its operation
in cases of liver complaint, Indigestion,
Elections of the bowels, govt, rheumatism
and pulmonary disorder, can possibly
doubt.-C Cam.

Farm, Garden and Household.

THE Cows. M. Wells of Weathcrs-
field, Ct, has found great advantage in
being very consilerate of the welfare OF
his score or more Of cows, He has even
ascertained that any continuous noise,
rs of tanning mill, about the stable has
such effect upon the nervous system rs
to cause perceptible falling off in the

the place. The bars are let down and the
butter makers walk leisurely out They
are petted and caressed The conse-
quence is they yield flowing pals, and
they wear such cheerful and contented
faces and such mild expression of the
eve as would do the kind heart Of Henry
Bergh good to look at.
For Tools. One of the best farmers
OF the Hudson expended ten years ago
one hundred dollars on a shed thirty feet
long by twelve wide, under which his
cart, wagon, sled. moving machine,
plows, hoes, and chains could be kept
when not in use. His implements are as
good now as they We're then, with the
exception Of the inevitable wear which
their use involves; and in the opinion of
the owner, the building has saved him
at least twenty per cent. of its cost each
year. The same roof can he many times

may make desirable, at the same time

TRYING TO CAPTURE ARNoLD-A pas
sionate desire pervaded the con;inentals
in 1850 after Arnold had made his raid
upon Richmond, To have him captured
or, as Jefferson of Virginia expressed il,
TO drag him from those under whose
wing he is now sheltered. When the
governor learned the details of Arnold 8
retreat, he felt that small body of
cool, resolute men could have seized
and carried him off, and he proposed
the scheme to an officer of militia The
men TO and him were dawn from the
regiments Of Western Virginia, in whom
the governor had peculiar confidence. :"
The band, he recommended, should be
few in number, the smaller the better.
and he left it to the discretion of the
chi whether they should enter Arnold's
camp as friends, or lie in wait for him
without 81 will undertake. Jefferson
wrote, "if they are successful in bring
ing him off alive, that they shall receive
five thousand guineas reward among
them and TO men formed for such an
enterprise, it must be a great incitement
70 know that their names will be record
ed with glory in history with those of
Van Wart, Paulding aud Williams"
Arnold grew wary, however. and could
not he caught.
