REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.

The Grand Jury yesterday rendered their
report to Judge Steele of the several subjects
presented to them for investigation.
They state they have examined more than
fifty criminal cases, including various charges,
and have presented bills in accordance with
the evidence presented. They express regret
that they were unable to bring to punishment
the keepers Of gambling saloons, and they
grieve that under the present regime they
were unable to stop this system.
They suggest that the statutes are material
ly defective in stringency in this regard, and
ask that those frequenting such houses should
be made amenable to the law.
They ask that so large number of accused
persons should not escape the full penalty of
the law, and express a desire that some
means should be taken to abate gambling.
Much of the report is devoted to the Louisi-
ana State Lottery Company, which is con-
demned in severe language as gambling in
stitution, and the recommendation is made
that proceedings be instituted against the
charter of the corporation.
In regard to the Charity Hospital they re-
port that the benefits offered are abused by
ports of our own and other countries.
The City Work-House and Soup House are
treated as "twin nuisances."
The management and condition of the va
rious charitable institutions are reviewed at
considerable length, and with this review the
report closes.

HA Century After.o

IA Century After Picturesque Gimpses of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania" This beauti-
full series Of issues has now reached the sixth
part and the elegance Of illustration, and thu
interest of the descriptive matter are well main
tanned. The series is published by Allen Lane,
Il Scott, and j. W. Lauderbach, of Philadelphia,
and will be complete in fifteen parts, at fifty
cents each. The design is to illustrate the nat
ural beauties and places of interest in and about
Philadelphia, the engrayings being all new, and
in the highest style Of the art The last two
numbers, Parts and 6, are devoted to views of
some OF the notable churches, and to sketches
in the Park and at Laurel Hill. The Park pic
lures are very handsome and mostly avoid the
common fault OF artists who prefer to pick out
''pretty bits OF scenery, rather than to give
broader and more comprehensive views. The
strong features Of Fairmount are those of its
natural picturesqueness, and these are we'll

Climate and Appetite.

In Russia, Sweden and Norway, where pro-
longed and biting Winters necessitate action
and large supplies of animal heat, meals are
frequent and Of great dur alton. Five hearty
repasts per diem, among which dinner is the
chief one, are the common allowance in those
Northern localities. This principal meal is
heralded by a cold collation. partaken en route
for the dining-room. In small ante-room the
guests pause before a small table spread with
articles creative Of appetite and thirst such as
red herring, sardines, caviare, cheese sharp
pickles and arrack, the native whiskey. Thus
stimulated, a much larger repast is made than
would otherwise be possible. When this cus-
tom, however, is introduced regardless Of eli
matte requirements, it is prone to conduce to
slnggishness as in some parts of Germany.
Again, the glowing mother earth and ardent
skies OF Italy furnish her children with the best
preseryative5 against their combined intensity
Of heat. Fruits and salads, succulent, refresh
ing, cooling, form the national breakfast
and the chief staple of other meals, being
freely partaken of with results which might be
much less favorable under a cooler sky. Ma
ture, amidst these wondrous adaptations is not
neglectful Of the needs OF animals. as may be
briefly instanced by Norwegian custom. With
in the Arctic circle, whero the winters are long
twilight, and the highlands 10 barren that peo-
pie subsist upon bread made from the tender
bark OF the brch-tree, the cattle are fed upon
dry fish caught in those storied hords,. whose
waters, the Fortunatus purse of Norway, stretch
far inland by dusky forests of pine.-Hnper's

The oyster IN Europe.


The common oyster of Europe, abundant on
in large banks Or beds; sometimes extending for
miles, usually ON rocky bottoms; from about the
middle OF August to the middle OF May they are
dredged from the bottom by kind Of iron rake
dawn by boat under full sail, several hun
dreds being taken at at a single haul; these are
transferred to artificial beds or parks, where they
arc preserved for sale, continually growing in
size and improving in flavor. The growth OF the
oyster is slow, it being only as large as half
dollar at the end OF four to Elk months, and twice
that size at the end OF a year; in artificial beds
the growth is usually slower, the full size not
being attained till the fifth to seventh year. The
west coasts Of Scotland. ..and the Hebrides have
the best oysters OF the British coasts, and here
in sheltered bays they acquire the green color 30
esteemed by the epcure and supposed to be
due to conferve and similar colored growths in
the breeding places; other English beds extend
from Gravesend on the Thames along the Kent
coast, and in the estuaries OF the Colne and
other rivers along the Essex coast The
British beds are kept up by careful culture,
and by the introduction OF broods from
all quarters since 1872 several varieties OF
American oysters have been introduced, but the
planting is still experiment. and it ia said that
| the change of sea deteriorates their quality.
| Not many years ago the beds Of France were
nearly exhausted in 1853 NJ. Coste recommen-
| ded plans for their restoration, and since then
the parks in the bays OF -Brieuc and Arcachon,
and the Isle of Re, restocked by broods from
! Csncale and other sources, have become enor-
nous and the successful culture is yearly ex.
tending along the entire Atlantic and Mediter-
rauean coasts of France The Danish coast is
| well supplied with beds. The Neapolitan lake

LONG BONDS AND Low RATES OF INTEREST

LONd bUNOb AMI AO " nhAxz OI AN 4 AAsA<oA'
The bonds Of the Government which have the
longest time to run sell best, the reason being
that many investors, including, especially, the
banks do not care to buy securities which may
soon be paid of. A glance at the money reports
will show the reader that currency sixes,'
that is Government bonds bearing sx per cent
interest in currency, quote higher than any OF
those bonds which pay elk per cent in gotd. The
former have longer to run before being payable
So, likewise, the new ives sell nearly or quite
rs high as various classes Of the six.per cents,
both paying gold interest, but the latter being
now or soon due.
Facts like these and the conclusive experience
Of other nations show that il we are desirous of
placing our bonds at a low rate Of interest, we
rrust make the time Of payment distant. Eng
lands bonds are absolutely irredeemable ; il she
wants to reduce her debt-which she seldom
does-she must buy them up in the open mar
ket. This, however, does not suit our American
ideas the great majority of the people, no
doubt, look forward to the complete
extinction Of the national debt, and would
not be willing to have it's conditions 30 fixed that
this result would be very difficult or almost i'm
possible. Still, it must be many years before we
can see the last Of our indebtedness, and it is
grave question whether it would not be much
better to make long bond-not less than fifty
years-at four per cent, at which rate, no doubt,
4 large amount Of the present six per cents
could be placed. The last call Of Secretary Bris-
tow completes the exchange Of five hundred mil
lions of six per cents into fives, saving to the
people just five millions OF dollars a year, in in
terest, and probably an equal amount Of skies
could be exchanged for fours, If the latter
were made to run at least as long as 1925. Such
AMI exchange, when once accomplished, would
make further saving of ten millions annually.
To postpone the day Of payment ID not always
BEST overly smart people, who bury their
money in the cellar or loan it out on usurious in
forest generally think that to pay cash is the
passport to Heaven but it is just as clearly de-
monstrable as anything can be that the solvent
debtor acts wisely in directing his operations
and resources to that point in the future at
which he can iquidate without straining or ex-
hausting himself. The nation cannot pay to- day
it's whole debt nor next year, nor in ten years.
The older it grows, the broader its back, the
greater it's revenues. the larger its ability to pay
and there is definite, precise time, certainly
existing though not to be discovered at this dis
tance, when the nation, having steadily reduced
its debt year by year, may wipe out the balance
completely. 1t is not likely that this can be
done inside of fifty years, and If so, it is wise to
reduce the annual interest charge as far as pos
sible, by the funding into long bonds, at low
rates.
