The DUCHEsNE PL0T.-It appears
that the Belgian examination into the
50 called Duchesne plot for the assas-
sination of Bismarck has resulted, as
it might have been expected to result,
namely, in the acquital of the accused
1t appears, however, that this outcome
does not at all satisfy the Government
party at Berlin, but that much anger
Is felt toward the Belgian authorizes
apparently because they did not do
violence to the facts by finding an in
nocent man guilty. Really this Ber-
lin sentiment is becoming not a little
absurd, and may become intoierable.
1t has been notorious from the first
that there was nothing IN the Dachesne
affair, but it would seem as though
Germany was spelling for cause OF
complaint, and was resolved not TO
let this last opportunity escape. The
threat that the case will not be per-
mitted TO erd here is almost contempt
ible. The Belgisns have shown every
disposition to act fairly by their true
ulent neighbor, and have been met
with insults and uDjustiiable aecusa-
tions. Germany, in fact, has of late
manifested altogether too strong a
prediction for bullying her weaker
neighbors, TO please world which in
stinctiyely takes the part Of the under
dog in the fight. At the same time
it is very noticeable that Bismarck
keeps the best behavior possible when
addressing himself TO great powers
Ike Russia, and the contrast thus
produced is not an agreeable one.

THE London correspondent of the
New York Times writes TO that
paper: On Tuesday last a dread
ful scandal occurred in the House of
Commons, from which the shaken
nerves of society have hardly yet re-
covered. The Prince of Wales was
actually turned ont of the House Of
Commons, along with Prince Chris
tan, the German ambassador, and a
number of other distinguished people.
In this, however, no insult was leveled
toward his Royal Highness. He was
elected, with the Others, simply as a
stranger and in conformity with the
old rule of the House that if a men,
her espies any strangers present the
Speaker must at once order them 10
be removed"

RAILROAD WAR.-The people of Oregon
Just now have 4 railroad war on 4 small

ing Of the stockholders in the West Side
Road, held last week, an anti-Holladay
board Of directors was chosen, whereupon the
Holladayites held a second meeting and Pro-
oeedci to a new election Of directors. The
result is two boards Of directors each claim
ing to be genuine. and a struggle for the pos
session of the railroad and rolling stock.
The whole matter has been referred 10 the
courts, where mos; likely it will be settled in
accordance with law and justice Meantim

About Pearls.

The pearl is very beautiful as well as
costly ornament and is as much priced as
any article of jewelry. There have been
several theories advanced in regard to
the formation of the pearl, but none are
quite satisfactory. This is one of the
mysteries that nature has kept hidden
from us. The ocean and mountains are
her workst ops. The latter men have
excavated and tunneled until they have
discovered many things not before
thought of, but she reigns securely in the
deep blue sea. Many treasures are stored
far down in the green and CLASSY brine,'
but few are venturesome enough TO
fathom the depths and bear away the
rich spoil. 1t is very dangerous work,
for although we have now the diving
bell, making it possible for men to stay
under the water for some time, they suf
fer il they go down very often or stay
long. But some enterprises are attended
with danger and not all as profitable as
the pearl fishery.
The divers are provided with bags in
which to put the shells taken from the
bottom of the ocean. These are then
broken open and the pearls drilled and
strung. Black people are generally en-
ployed for this purpose, as they are very
expert; but, although they are very care
fully watched, they sometimes succeed in
secreting valuable pearl.
The best fishery in the East is near the
Isle of Ceylon, where the season COM
mences in February and lasts until
April. A gun is fred as a signal for the
boats All go out and come back to-
gether
Twenty men 80 in each boat. ten of
whom are divers; the remainder row
and assist their companions in reascend-
ing. They 20 out at sunrise, remain
busily engaged until noon, when they re
turn, and are relieved of their precious
cargo. and are rsaiy for another trip.
This is the way that he pearls which peo-
pie highly prize are obtained.

like to come across q man with the
toothache. There's something SO pleas
ant in advising him to stuff cotton in it,
to use camphor, creosote, peppermint
and relief" that l always feel better
after giving it.
/ have been there-hsd an aching snag
and know just how it feels. 1t used to
wake me up nights and make me mad at
noon, and set me swearing early IN the
morning. didn't meet man or woman
but what they advised ME. One said
that hot knitting.needle pushed down
on the roots was an excellent thing; and
others said it must be dug out by the
dentist.
If I sat down to dinner that old tooth
began TO growl. If went to bed, or got
up, or went to party, or stayed at home,
"she" growled just the same.
1t wasn't always growl; sometimes
it was Jump that made my hair stand
up, and again sort of cutting pain that
made me make up faces at the baby,
slam doors and break Windows. | ate
cotton, peppermint, camphor and opium
until got black in the face, and that old
snag kept right on. put bags of hot
ashes to my cheek, applied mustard, held
my head in the oven, took a sweat, and
the ache still ached.
After the third week the neighbors
didn't let their boys pass my house, and
tin.peddlers and book. canvassers went
around on another street. ! was be-
coming a menagerie, and at last / de-
cided to have my tooth out. l decided
to, and then decided not to. Ichanged
my mind four times in one afternoon,
and at last went.
The dentist was glad to see me. he
said if he could not take that tooth out
without hurting me he would give me a
million dollars. 1t got easier as he
talked, and concluded not to have it
pulled. / started downs stairs, but a
lump caught me, and rushed back. He
said he would look at it; perhaps it did
not need pulling at all, but he could kill
the nerve.
BY dint of flattery he got me in the
chair. Then he softly inserted knife
and cut away the gums. looked up
and said would kill him, but he begged
ne not to; said the cutting was all the
pain there was TO it. He finally got me
to lean back apd open my mouth, and he
slipped in his forceps and closed them
around the tooth.
Observation-Disclosures cried,
but he didn't pay any attention to it.
He drew in "a full breath, grasped the
forceps tightly and then he pulled.
Great spoons! but didn't it seem as if
my head was goingl ! tried to shout,
grappled at him, kicked, and then he
held up the old snag and said:
There, l guess you won't feel any
more aching"

promised him $lO,00O,000. l told him to
make my home his home forever.
Rugged him again. shook hands with
everybody on the street, kissed my wife,

Presence Of Mind In q Hog.

A VERY curious incident occurred yes
terday by which hog took a ride across
the river bridge. 1t was about half-past
three o'clock that freight train was APP
preaching the city when hog weighing
about 100 pounds was seen on the track
at the west end of the bridge. 1t did not
get out of the way soon enough and the
pilot of the engine struck it. Instead of
knocking it Oft, however, the sloping
front of the pilot caught his porkship
and rolled him right up upon the little
platform in front of the boiler. There
he rose and sat looking around and was
by this time out over the bare ties, where,
if he had jumped off, he would have
gone down to the water. He evidently
saw this, for he remained on the front of
the engine and rode all the way across
the bridge. When the engine arrived on
this side the hog sprang nimbly off upon
the platform near Mr. Twadell's watch
house and after grunting its satisfaction
at its narrow escape moved off. 1t was
slightly hurt in the side and one leg but
