Mr.. Finlsyson, town clerk Of Stirling,
Scotland, in the latter part Of the sew
enteenth century, was noted for the
marvellous in conversation. He was on
= visit to the Earl OF Moutieth and
Airth in his castle OF Tahs, in the loch
OF Monteith, and was about taking his
leare, when he was asked by the Earl
whether he had seen the sailing
cherry trees?
"NoW said Finlayson. What sort
of q thing is ?"
ut is," replied the Earl, "a tree that
has grown out at goose's mouth from
stone the bird hsd swallowed and
which she bears about with her in her
voyages around the loch. 1t is now in
full fruit of the most exquisit flavor
Now, Mr.. Finlsyson, he added "csu

and fancy, match my story Of the cher

There dwelt in the land Of Preston,

Straightway Elijah arose, put on his

exceedingly when he found himself eur

advertises waterproof cofiins.' We
have waited long and snxiousIy for
this invention. There are doubtless
many person who have been wishing
to die, but have put it off because
waterproof coffins could not be procur-
ed. 1t must be a great comfort to q
dead man to have a perfectly dry
coffin; and now that the spirit OF re-
form has made itself felt, we want to
have the thing carried out TO its legiti-
mate extent. We want to see a coffin
introduced with gas, and furnace, and
bathtub, and billiard, room attached.
We are looking for a coffin with a
bowling-ally and grand piano, with a
French roof and a sewing machine,
with a smoking-room and plate-glsss
windows These things must eventu-
ally come, If the Bsthetic taste Of de-.
ceased persons of the present day is to

Crossing tho Channel

Donn Piatt in Washington Capital.
The boat that plies between Dover
and Calais is small affair, and gener-
ally so crowded that the stewart can
afford but one basin to every three peo-
pie. This vessel is a lively affair, and
has, we are told indeed we know from
ssi experience, six distinct motions.
The simple motions are to the right
and lett, up and down. Then comes a
spiral vibration, as if the Internal con-
trivarce was striving to resolve itself
into q corkeCvew. Then comes
its grand tiumph, which consists
in SHOOTING" forward with
such lightning-ike rapidity that
you seem to be left mewherc, and
wish, in q dszed sort of way. that you
were. Then there is always come
thing wrong with the Channel. All
the winds are head.wiuds aud all the
tides are against you. For ourselves
we have superstitous belief that all
the restless spirits OF the deep, from
Neptune down TO the late Secretary
Wells, including Captain Kidd, Paul
Jones, and all that lot, haunt this
channel and keep up the Internal dis
turbance; for how often have we

ConditionaIPardons,

We have had few cases Of condition.
al pardons in this State, and none have
resulted favorably. Recent decisions Of
the Criminal Court Of Baltimore ard
the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts,
leave the question ofthe legality Of con.
ditional pardons granted TO convicts a
matter OF doubt. In the case OF the
Baltimore court, the legality OF such a
pardon was sustained, while the Mass
schusetts Supreme Court has decided
adversely in a similar case brought be-
fore it. The system is said to have
operated favorably in Massachusetts
since it has been it force, great care
having been taken to apply it only to
prisoners who seemed deserving OF it's

South Carolina Finances.

South Carolina Finances.
Governsr Moses, OF South Carolina,
expresses himself in favor of the issue
by the General Assembly at the coming
session, of one million dollars in bills
receivable, for the purpose of relieving
the financial embarrassment brought on
by the recent panic; said bills to be
taken by the State in payment Of tsxes.
Denial.
Postmaster-Gereral Cresswell says
the statement that he is busily engaged
in writing his report is incorrect. He
has not vet written single line. The
report will contain strong recommen.
dation OF postal telegraph as well as a
postal savings bank.
How MIR. Grant Amuses Himself.
A proposition favored in admiuistra-
ton circles, is to have the inauguration
day Of the presidential term changed
from the 4th OF March TIL the lst OF
July, 80 as TO have it and the new fiscal
year begin on the same day. 1t is not
impossible that the President may ad-
yocate iu his annual message a consti-
tutional amendment making the change,
but it is not likely 10 encounter very
favorable reception from body en-
crossed with schemes for financial re-
lief.
What Is to BE Done.
There ia considerable diversity oil
views among the friends OF the Presi-
dent as 10 plans Of relief. but that some
thing will have 10 be done by Congress
is conceded. Some advocate free
banking law. and others loan OF as
much as one hundred millions OF new
currency to the banks upon good COL
lateral. The tendencies are very decI-
dedly to expansion, and combination
of Southern, Western and Wall street
influences for this purpose is confideni>
" predicted.
Startling Financial sugGestiOns.
Notwithstanding the rosescolored re-
ports contained in the New York ps-
pers, il is certain that very gloomy
feeling prevails their in financial and
business circles. The locking up and
boarding OF currency continues TO 60
on, and it is asserted positively by we'll
informed persons that the amount OF
currency in :he National Banks through
the Union is diminishing instead OF IN
creasipg. A prominent banker, con-
nected with London house which has
the entire confidence Of the Govern
ment, Gays that money in England Is
growing very scarce, and predicts g
speedy commercial crash there which
will at once react on America.
The Ute Indian Delegation,
Now in this city for the purpose OF set

The case OF the negro Toliver, charg-
ed with the murder Of Annie Butler,
was brought before the county court on

State and two on behalf OF the prisoner.
Before any examination was proceeded

ed a waiver OF such preliminary exaui-

very strong. The examination before

his organization condemned the strike
during the past year of Moberly Divi-
sion, No. Sc, the members of which
were engineers on the St. Louis, Kan
sss City and Northern railroad. After
carefully investigating the matter the
brotherhood had been compelled to sus-
pend the charter OF that division. More
over, that the organization opposed
strikes. and that none could occur in
auy division without the consent OF the
majority Of all the subdivisions OF the
brotherhood. That as regards wages
he thought the main obstacle to an ad.
vance was in the engineers themselves.
