ENGLAND CoUNTENANCING SLAVERY
From one of M. D. Conway's letters in
the Cincinnati Commercial we take this
1 have already informed you of the
arrangement which they have made for
making slavery systematic feature OF
the new Government to be established
on the west coast of Africa. Let il not
be thought that there is anything half
way in the matter. The Government
was cross-exanined on the subject, and
uttered some fine sentiments, butt gave
no promise of any intention to alter its
plans. The ugly fact remains that the
slave trade really goes on in the West OF
Africa under the same flag which is en-
gagged in suppressing it on the east side.
The Fantees and the Ashantees have re-
opened their trade, and the slave market
is under the shadow of Cape Coazt Cas-
lie, the British head quarters. The
British Judge at the Castle is Assessor
for the native population, and one of
his occupations is to return fugitive
slaves. If newly-purchased slave
runs away, the English Judge issues TO
the master a warrant for its apprehen-
sion.

LAUNcH.-There was large assem-

noon, to witness the launch of the new
railway scow built by Mr.. Hammond
for the Seattle Coal Company, under
fhe direction of Mr.. D. Hewes, the man-

the prettiest we ever witnessed. When

sheen ranch in California. W. II. White
delivered a speech pertinent to the oe-
casion, which he forgot SO soon there
after that we failed to secure copy Tor
publication.
Abstractly considered the launch OF a
scow is a matter of too small account
for newspaper notice; but this is an oc-
easion of more than common import
ance, giving to this scow capacity IN

P1ETY KNOCKED INro P1.- From the
Detroit Free Press we clip the following:
Horace Greeley used to affirm that
newspaper men we're the most patient
people, as class. on earth. and he was
not far from right, though there are
times when patience ceases to be viz
tue with the most enduring. Nearly
everybody in the. western part of the
State knows Burr, who used to start
newspaper about once a month the year
round, generally bringing them out in
Grand Rapids, but sometimes making
flying trip to other points. Burr could
stand il to be tcld that he lied about his
circulation, was on the fence as politi
clan, and that he didn't know anything
abont publishing newspaper. andwhen
men threatened to sue or thrash him he
only smiled sad smile and wished that
mankind wouldn't get excited. During
religious revival in Grand Rapids,
Burr was converted, and it frequently
happened that religious people called at
his Office to talk with. him. One day
minister came in, and after talking
while he proposed prayer. He was in
the act of kneeling when his foot struck
one of the outside forms which was
leaning against the leg of the stone,
ready to be lifted up, and over it went,
msking half bushel of "pi." Burr
looked at the ruin wrought, thought Of
the two weeks of overwork, and he
commenced taking off his coat, saying,
I'm trying to be Christian, and set a
good example, but, rat my buttons If |
can't lick you in just two minutes"
The clergyman backed down stairs in no
time. dodging the lye brush on the way.
and Burr backsli1 at once, and sent
down for pint of stimulent.

MILD MINERS.

The mildness of the present season,
both here and in Europe, has induced
some Of the book worms to look up
precedents. The result Is that 50 FAR,
at least, as Europe Is concerned, Tor we
have not the same records here TO fau
hack upon, the present bears no COM
narison to some of the winters long gone
by. In lI72 the temperature was so
bioh in England that leaves came ont
ON the trees in January, and birds
hatched their broods in February. In
1889 the winter was equally mid. and
the uaidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
vfoIets and corn flowers at Chris ms
and ON Twelfth Day. In 142I the trees
Aovvered IN the month of March, and
the vines in the month of April. Cher
ries ripened In the same month, and
grapes appeared in May. In l512 the
trees were covered with leaves IN Janu-
arv. and the birds hatehsd their young
in February, as IN 1l72; IN 1850 the
same thing was repeated, and 1t is ad-
dad that the corn was IN the ear al
Faster. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters
of 1888, 1907, 1903, 16l7, and 1903;
finally. in 1862, even in the north OF
Germany. the stoves were not lighted
and trees lowered In February. Coming

In a small society Ike that OF Eur

and gossip; every ones character and
conduct were freely criticised, and by
none more than by my aunt and her
friends. She used to sit at a window
embroidering, where she not only could
see every one that passed, but with
small telescope could look into the
dressing-room Of lady Of her acquaint-
ance, and watch all she did. A spinster
lady Of good family, a cousin of ours,
carried her gossip so far, that
she was tried for defamation
and condemned to u months l1n.

A Curious Question Raised, and not
Settled.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 4.-The
Speaker called attention to the fact that the
resolution of the House directing the Sec
retaTy of the Interior to furnish a copy of
a paper on irrigation, sent by Mr.. Marsh,
United States Minister TO Italy, was re-
sponded to by the statement that the paper
was in the custody of a Commissioner be-
vond the control of the Department OF the
Interior The Speaker seemed to intimate
it would be news to the members to learn
that the Department or Bureau OF Agricul
ture was an Independent department OF the
government and not under the control OF
any other department.
A resolution was then offered by Mr..
Kasson and adopted, directing the Commis-
sioner of Agriculture to furnish copy OF
the paper in question.
Arkansas Members.
The House then took up a resolution
from the Election Committee, declaring
Asa Hodges entitled prima facie to a seat
as Representative of the first congressional
district of Arkansas. The resolution was
adopted without debate, and Hodge took
the modified oath as a member.
Southern TranscOntinentaI.
The bill to incorporate the Southern
Transcontinental Railroad, was sent to
committee of the whole on the ground that
the bill made grant of public property.
A bill from the Committee on Public
Lands, giving to Holt county, Missouri,
the bed of a certain lake there, after ex-
PLANTATION by Mr.. Parker of Missouri, was
passed.
The House them resumed consideration
of the army appropriation bill.

Mr.. Beck offered an amendment to the
item for transportation providing that only
actual travelling expenses shall be allowed
to any person whatever in the United
States, and declaring illegal, allowances fol
mileage and transportation in excess of the
amount actually paid.

Hammer.

Hammer.
NEw York, Feb. 4.-Christian Meyer,
one q the alleged Tofnpkins. Square riot
ers, was placed ON trial yesterday On the
charge of assaulting Sergeant Berghoid.
The defendants story was, in substance,
as follows: Complainant, Sergeant Berg
hold, e0llored him while he was trying 10
get out Of the way, and policeman snout-
ed ssEill him. This the prisoner under
stood to be an adjlration to his association
Thenshe took out his hammer and struck
him in self defense. Afterward, as before,
he was numerically dubbed. In regard
TO the hammer, he said he lad been out OF
work at his trade for long time, and so-
lidted odd jobs of work from house to
huse, IN which he found it useful to have
yith him claw hammer. The pink col
tred string shown with it had no sig
fifance. 1t had been used to secure the
hammer in his pocket. BE denied EN-
phatically that he carried it as weapon.
| The Tax ON Immigrants.
| Representatives of the principal European
3teamship lines express themselves in strong
,erms against increasing the Communication
ak on emigrants from one dollar and half
| 10 two dollars, and hold it is not fair for the
State to be accumulating property at the
expense of immigrants. Any increase in
eommstation, with better facilities in other
ports for loading and discharging vessels,
agents say may send the vessels to those
ports.
Tweed.
Counsel for Vim. Tweed appeared be-
fore Judge Davis to-day for the purpose Of
settling a bill of exceptions, upon which to

the case. 1t is almost as Tolumnous as the
Indictment upon which Tweed was tried.
A decision is expected in few days.
