RrlstoW's Enemies,

Thus far, the only effect of the efforts of
MIR. Bristow's enemies TO pick flaws in his
record has been to give him q securer place
in the confidence of the people. This
latest Milwaukee yarn is not an exception
to the rule. The facts are. that the bark
Mary Merritt was not seized for smuggling
at all, but for an innocent technical viola
ton of the ship registry laws the United
States circuit and district judges, the dis
trici-attorney and two successive solicitors
Of the treasury have agreed that there was
no willful negligence or intention to de-
fraud on the part of the owners Mr. Bris-
tow was never retained as counsel In the
case, and never took fee from first to
last being personal friend of the owners,
he did give them advice. and did go before
Secretary Richardson for them, first stipu-
lating that his services should be entirely
gratuitous, as department practice was not
in his line ; after he became secretary,
hearing that the lawyers OF the owners had
used his name with the district attorney, he
peremptorily disapproved an application to
compromise the case, and refused to have
anything more to do with it it was finally
decided by the assistant-secIetary upon the
statement of facts sent in by the district
judge. Apparently, however, Bristow isn't
smashed yet to any appreciable extent

Excavations in Pompeii.

An interesting report of some new exca-
vations in Pompei is given by DR.. r.
Schooner in the Allgsmeins Ze,tung. In
the Via Stabiana, large and elegantly de-
corated private mansion has been entirely
laid bare. 1t contains some of the most
beautiful frescoes as yet discovered sew
eral of the paintings have come to light
with almost spotless freshness and integrity.
Unfortunately, much injury was occasion
ed afterwards by the careessness and rough
procedure of the workmen employed.
There are medallion wall paintings of Mer-
curry, Minerva, Juno, Mars, Vulcan and
Venus frescoes representing the wounded
Adonis, together with the Goddess of Love,
and Cupid with an inimitable express
sion of grief an Ariadne left by
Theseus Danae with the young
Perseus Paris surrounded by his flock |;
Bacchus on the panther, painted
on the wall in the shape of gilt statue /; q
Homer, and various other paintings, not a
few of which are provided with Greek in
scriptions of names and of verses. Some
portions of the house are got up in q pure
Greek style others are mixture of the
nobler Hellenic and of the Shower and less
congruous Roman style. One of the wall
paintings was found injured in the center
by hole, through which evidently the
propretors had entered, after the great
catastrophe, fer the sake of saving some
valuable property. In order to prevent a
premature publication the director Of the
excavations had the wall paintings quickly
covered with canvas and straw mats but
DR.. Schooner was enabled to obtain, at
least, a glimpse of those remarkable art
treasures.

in enclosing part OF the body, say the
forearm, in a glass cylinder with a caout-
chous ring, filing the cylinder with tepld
water, and measuring, by special contri-
vance, the quantity of water which flows
out or In through tube connecting with
the cylinder, as the arm expands or con-
tracts. An opening in the cylinder Is con-
nected by piece Of caoutchouc tubing
with a glaes tube opening downwards into
test-tube suspended from double pulley
with counterpoise, to which the recording
lever 10 attached, in a vessel containing q
mixture of alcohol and water. When the
vessels of the arm dilate, water passes
from the cylinder to the test.tube, which
is thereby immersed further, so that
the counterpoise rises in the op-
posite case water flows back from the
test-tube into the cylinder, the test-tube
rises, and the counterpoisc descends.
Among other applications of the apparatus,
DR.. Mosso employs 1t in studying the physi-
ology of thought and cerebral activity.
The slightest emotions are revealed by the
instrument by change in the state Of the
blood vessels. The entrance Of person
in whom one is interested during the expe-
riment has the effect of diminishing the
volume of the forearm by from four to If
teen cubic centimetres. The work of the
BRAN during the solution of perplexing
problem or the reading of an obscure pas
sage is always accompanied by contrac-
ton of the vessels proportional to the effort

From Jay Gould's Tribune, April H.
JAY GOULD AND TRENOR w. PARK.
The Stool Pigeon Comes to the Aid Of hi!
Stock-Jobbing Owner.

Some time ago an impartial and thor
oughly well-informed correspondent OF the
Tribune, after an inspection of the Panama
railroad, made a statement Of the deprecia-
ton which it had sustained under the man.
agement of Mr.. Trenor w. Park He ad-
vlsed that gentleman and his associates that
the only method of restoring value TO the
property would be TO suspend dividends for
the current year, and to expend all the net
earnings (f any there should be) in the re-
pairs SO urgently needed by the road and
its appurtenances.
We perceive that MIR. Park has promptly
accepted our correspondents advice, and
'passcd" the April dividend, but whether
from prudence or under compulsion we are
we are not fully informed. Inasmuch as
the dividends (three per cent quarterly of
the last year have exhausted the company &
funds, int luding cash received from the
sale Of its steamship property. it may be
that the present action is not voluntary
especially as loans are not SO easily effect
ed upon Panama shares as they were be-
fore the company entered upon its ruinous
and illegal conflict with the steamship line
from which it receives the most valuable
portion Of its traffic. We shall continue Ia
regard with interest the experiences of Mr..
Park and his railroad, but at present have
only to compliment him upon his aertness
in accepting our correspondents advice.

The Congregational Disturbance

The division among the Congregational
lists over the advisory council and lis work
becomes daily more apparent. Its earliest
manifestation thus far is the split in the
New York and Brooklyn association of
Congregational ministers which has been
precipitated by the majoritys Endorsement
90 to % of the Beecher plan for the ap-
pointment of committee to invite the
presentation of evidence before the scan
dial commission, and act as prosecutors it
any is l,rnlshed-Beecher to be held
thoroughly vindicated in case nobody APP
pears within the GO day limit. Rev. DR..
Buddington followed up his opposition to
this plan during its discussion by the pre-
sentation on its adoption of n protest
signed by Rev. Drs Storrs, Taylor and
Ward (of the independently and Rev. Mr..
Mcfarland, as well as himself, in which
they record their conviction that The call
ing Of the advisory council under all the
attendant circumstances was "a violation of
a fundamental principle of the Congre-
gational order" and that the proposed
investigation would only result in ''another
OF the superficial inquiries which have al
ready provoked so much public dissatisfac-
ton" and therefore enter their earnest
and solemn protest, on grounds both of
conscience and judgment, against the
aforesaid action as wrong in principle and
likely to result in increased suspicion and
dlstrust. and to embarrss the future action
of this body in deciding as we are solemn
ly bound to do the guilt or innocence OF
MIR. Beecher." Subsequently Mcssrs.
Storrs, Buddlngton, Taylor and MscFar-
land withdrew from membership of the
association, which it will, Of course, be
understood is purely voluntary associa-
ton of congregational ministers of the
neighborhood, and others will doubtless
follow them. Meanwhile, dissent from the
advisory council and its new doctrines is
being expressed by conqregationalists all
over the country, the most trustworthy
data indicating that 1t Is repudated by full
half of the denomination in New England.

numbers of the schools shrunk from the
project as impracticable. But one school
after another has wheeled into line and the
prospect now Is that the entire so, 900 chill

to itself, numbered and be under the charge
Of its own officers. The children are to be
brought to the park in huge vans and
wagons, draped with flags, and attended by
bands OF music. Flags have been provided
tor every child in the procession. Fifty
swings have been put up and every effort
made to make the day one OF genuine en-
joyment. The United States government

Obituary.

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Page of Haverhill,
N. H., have gone to their long home. They
were laic side by side in the old cemetery,
Tuesday the 2Sth of March. They had
been remarkably well and vigorous through
the winter; Mrs. Page making beautiful
rugs-drswn in-for all her children but
when the dread messenger came they obey
ed cheerfully the summons-glad to 60.
Mr.. Page was native of Haverbill, brother
of ex-Gov. John Page, and an uncle Of
Hon. John A. Page of Montpelier, state
treasurer of Vermont. Mrs. Eliza Swasey
Pages place of nativity was at Newbury /;
they had spent more than half century
together, he being "a and she rs. Thirteen
children were given to them, eight remain,
scattered far and wide, all religious people,
walking IN the steps of their parents--hon-
oring their profession. This dispensation
does not seem like death. The skiing of
teirors' was to them ''the prince of peace. p"
Their life work was done, and well done,
and they did not know the pang of separa-
tion-very beautiful was their departure.
