VARIOUS KNDs.-A ragged and for
looking man was yesterday seen to
fall down on State street, as if over
come by the heat, but before any one
could reach him he crawled under a
shade tree. When approached and
asked if he was i'll he replied:
s'Knocked clean ovei by sunstroke.'
"Do you feel any pain' = was asked.
''Lots of it; my legs are as stiff as
pokers."
'sThe sun affects the head-not the
legs, I guess you were not sunstruck.'
"Well, 1 know l was," said the old
man, with good deal Of spirit. "You
don't perhaps know that there are va
nous kinds of sunstroke, but there are
over forty different species, all liable to
strike a man to once. If you could
show me ten cent piece l believe I'd
feel better"
The citizen passed on and left him
groaning.-Detroit Free Press.

PRETTY 10 THAT PNET-

Is THAT PREF
TY DOES.
By ALICE CARY.s
The spider wears a plain brown dress.
And she is steady spinner;
70 see her quiet as mouse,
Going about her silver house,
You woulG neyeg. never guess
The way she gets her dinner.
She looks as if no thought of i'll,
In all her lite had stirred her,
But while she moyes with cafefsal tread
And while she spins her silken thread,
She is planning, planning, planning still
The way to do some murder.
My child, who reads this simple lay
With eyes downcast and tender,
Remember the old proverb says
That pretty is which pretty does,
And that worth does not 60 nor stay
For poverty nor spleAdor;
'ris not the house, ard not the dress,
That makes the saint or sinner,
To see the spider sit and spin,
Shut with her webs of silver in,
You would never. never guess
The way she gets her dinner.

Art. Music and the lrama.

Mr.. Felix Regamy, the well-krown Chicago
artist, has recently finished a portrait of Mr.
Longfellow in colored crayons, which is much
admired in Boston. The Boston Traveller
says of it: "The likeness is perfect its tone
and expression being life-l;ke and exceedingly
natural. Mr.. Regamy has given US a differ
ent portrait from those we are accustomed to,
there being no idealizing whatever in the like
ness, but it has the grand merit of being true to
the everyday life and appearance of the sui
ject."
The copyright in the words and music of the
well-known song of "Katheen Mavourneen'
was the subject of action tried in Queens
Bench Division. London, lately. Originally
written and composed in in 1886, the song and
music have been assigned several times to diff
ferent enthusiastically, 1868, to Messrs
Hutchings and Romer; but Messrs. Wood of
Regent street having, in 1875, paid the COM
poser sum of money for the copyright of his
music, now claimed it, but their application
was dismissed with COSTS
Mapleson, the English impressario, who is
now in New York, is not very complimentary
to American consistency in scenic arrange
ments, or the taste OF the American people in
submitting to anachronism without protest.
Speaking of the recent performances of "Nor-
ma, he was surprised that they put Titens as
Druid priestess in Greek temple with modern
satin hargings, a statue of Jove in the centre,
and a view of the Rhine at the back! And
Mapleson refectively added; "If the English
people would stand that kind of thing, I'd
make fortune every season.
The London Academy says: SIN the
Church of st. Lambert, at Dusseldorf, where
an admirable fresco was lately discovered on a
wall from which the plaster has been re.
moved, the discovery has now been made of
the long.lost stone statue popularity known as
The Blue Margaret This figure, which rep
resents Margaret, daughter and heiress of the
last male representative of the princely house
of Windeck and Berg, who died in 1884, stood
till the beginning of the present century in a
niche ag INST the wall of the north transept of
the church, where the bright color of the robes
made the statue conspicuous object, and se-
cured for it its familiar designation. In 1916
the figure disappeared, and nothing seems to
have been generally known of its whereabouts
till it was discovered a short time since within
the vault of the Berg family, where it had
been deposited on the grave of Duke Wilhelm
OF Cleyes and Juliers. 1t would appear from
the record of the church that the statue had
originally been recumbeut, with two dogs at Its
feet, but had, in the course of time, been re-
moved from the monument or sarcophagus on
which it lay aud been set upright against the
wall of the church,

LIKE many other hard-money journals the
Shoe and Leather Reporter is troubled by
correspondents who have no comprehension
of the basic principles of finance, and who
have never learned to distinguish between a
gold dollar and government note for a dol
lar. A correspondent in its last issue COM
plains that the journal "still keeps in the old
rut, repeating the stereotyped platitudes of
the bondholders and bullionists." The Re-
porter promptly confesses to keeping in the
old rut, and says it ''should think it as unsafe
to get out of it as it would be for an engineer
to try to run his locomotive and train with
out adhering to the iron grooves from which
deviation would be destruction" 1t objects
to the application of the term ''stereotyped
platitudes'' to what are simply "demonstra-
bles truisms," truisms which by the way,
it will be necessary to repeat as long as
financial ignorance exists. Its observations
of the financial situation are taken, it SAYS,
from the standpoint of the toiling tanner,
obliged to pay gold for bis raw material and
to tell his manufactures on long credit for
deprecated paper. The correspondent of the
Reporter triumphantly asks if gold was not
found inadequate to furnish means to prose-
cute the war. OF course 1t was. The gov
ernment had not enough money or gold
available to pay its soldiers aud purchase its
material, and so gave them its demand notes
with the understanding that the notes should
be taken up when the surplus funds obtained
from its prospective revenue would allow.
The time to begin paying those notes has
now come.

THE Eastern question is presenting new
and alarming phase. Though the Porte has
announced that he has resolved to apply In
the insurgent district the five leading points
OF Andrassy's note, his intention gives little
satisfaction. There are news of warlike
preparations in Roumania. Russia is said
to be fomenting insurrection in Bulgaria,
and Russian officers are commanding rebel
bands in Bosnia. A ministerial crisis is re-
ported in Austria, and there is prospect of a
ministry coming into power pledged to the
support of the insurgents and the downfall of
the Turkish empire.

the treatment of prisoners. The letter of
Mr.. Davis is ample justification for the ac-
tion of those who oppose amnestying him.
He does not want amnesty,w not accept it,

The Portland daily press., 1876-02-08

A PET grievance of the Democracy has
been the naturalization treaty with Germany,
providing that American citizens residing in
Germany should report themselves once in
two years at least to the American minister
or consul, and the provision that any natural
lied American citizen of German origin be-
coming domesticated in Germany and re-
naming there two years should forfeit his
acquired nationality. The treaty was de-
nounced as unpatriotic and as concession
to German abso,utism, and was referred to
the House committee on foreign affairs for
inquiry near the beginning of the session.
The report has just been made by Mr.. Faulk.
ner of Virginia, and completely disproves
the Democratic accusations. He finds that
the treaty has been of great practical benefit
to naturalized Americans of German birth
revisiting their native country. Before the
treaty, the German government disputed the
right of expatriation, and claimed from for
mer subjects returning for business or pleas
ure the military service which would have
been due if they had not left the country.
The evidence of their acquired nationality
was not readily accepted as sufficient dis
charge from these obligations. Appeals for
protection were constantly made to the min
lister of the United States, which led to long
and embarrassing diplomatic discussions.
Since the treaty has been in force these diff
culties have mostly disappeared. The Ger
man government has acted justly, and even
literally; complaints are rare, and in all
cases the questions arising are easily settled
to the satisfaction of both parties. AS to
those portions of the treaty regarded as
peculiarly oppressive, the committee say that
it has been rather frequent practice for Ger
mans to come to this country, remain here
barely long enough to become naturalized.
and then return with the intention of spend
ing their lives in their native country, free
from the obligation of military service and
other exactions imposed upon German SUBJ
jects. This practice is essentially fraud
upon both governments. The United States
can have nothing 10 gain from such citizens
and should be under no obligations to afford
them protection for which they render no
equivalent. These provisions the committee
do not think Objectionable, and they do not,
therefore, recommend that such notice should
be given to the abrogation of the treaty.
