THE APPOINTMENTS OF DEMO-
Gratis

Washington Despatch TO NeD York Telegram
WASHINGTON, Oct 2e.-The anti-Hayes
organ says of the appointments of Demo-
erats by the President, that "they must
be regarded as direct insult to the Re-
publican party, and it is high time that
Republican SenaUe should fully under
stand the posture of affairs, that it may
put down brakes and avert such rank in
Justice to party and principles which
have honored the President already
overmuch. The Senate has in its power
to gprevent such an outrage uponi the
party which its majority represents. We
think few such results to the party will
prove the feather which will break the
in any other light than as acts of war on
the part of the Executive against those
who elevated him to power, and the chal-
lenge must be accepted promptly and met
decidedly" ''.

A correspondent writes from Japan
ssBear in mind, Asiatics live as no other
races can, and upon food which would
not sustain European house dog. Fru-
gal as badgers, industrious as bees, they
they undersen every labor market which
they enter, and outIo every civilized ar
isan at his own trade. Any one who
sees Japanese carpenter at work, with
his toes for wise, and his thighs and
stomach for IA berch, h1S seen tools well
used, and goods equal to European turned
out They will, IN fact, become foIrnida-
bic rivals OF all kinds OF Western manu-
flcturers. The japanese are always ready
to learn, and to outvie everything that
the West does, and this they do with less
food, less air, less clothing. and less com
Fort than anv civilized workman"

While blasting rock from one of the
quarries ON the hillside west of the
town, the attention Of one of the work
men was attracted by the curious for
nation of one of the pieces that ha d
been split off. An examination proved
chat i'm mhedded in the rock was wasps'
nest, the texture and cells of which. all
though turned to stone, were plainly
visible. On breaking open some of the
cells the lary@ and two perfectly form
ed wasps were found within. in. the
same petrified condition as the rest.
There was no visible crack or outlet by
which the insects could have penetrated
che rock, and the piece in which this
curious formation was found was taken
from the depth Of forty feet from the
surface. The specimen was carefully
cut out and forwarded to thP Smith

THE 5000 LAKES OF MINNESOTA.

l have caused the meandered lakes in
all the township plats TO be counted, and
there are in the actually surveyed por-
tions of this State, just 1900 meandered
lakes. Calling them 5000 in number,
and from reliable data in this office we
find that these lakes average 800 acres
each: this gives us an equivalent of II
100000 acres of water on the surveyed
portions of the State. Now, computing
the lakes in the unsurveyed portions OF
the State from reliable data in possession
of this Office, we find that there are 1000
more lakes, which makes 1000 in all.
The number of lakes to a to gn is much
greater in the unsurveyed portions of the
Sta than in that already surveyed. They
are found also to average greater areas.
We find we are compelled to estimate
the 1000 lakes in the unsurveyed portion
at 800 acres each, which gives us an ad-
ditional water area of 100000 acres
making a total of water area on the sur
veyed lands of 2,700,0 900 acres of water
within the limits of the State. This does
not embrace the vast water areas includ-
ed within the projected boundary lines
of the State in Lake superior and Lake
of the Woods, and along the great water
stretches of the international line.

'...'-H Another strike.

from the Detroit Free Press. ulf3 a.f J.
Seated on the extreme end of a mar
row bench in the Central Market yes
terday was a boy who seemed to have
made up his mind that life was a sham
and happiness myth. BE was sclemnly
and intently gazing at collection of four
cabbage heads, six beets, peck of onions
and three cucumbers, when along came
a young man aud asked:
"What ails you?" sA
"Stfuck! was the solemn answer.
"Have, eh? How'd you come out.
81 was working for dad at fifty cents a
day." sadly explained the boy on the
bench. 81 was the only hand, and 7
thought that it, struck for dollar day
he'd have to shut up the shop and be
busted or come to terms,'
Sand did it turn out that way?" que
ried the other.
"Not quite. The old man didn't seem
a bit bit terror-stricken, but he bounced
me through window and hired another
boy to do my work at three shillings
day!" =
"What are you going to do about it
now?',
swell, s'pose I'll have to go around
telling the boys that capital has ground
me into the DUST" was the fearful re-

senator Wallace And HIS GOloid
Basis.

From the Cincinnati Gdzette.l
Mr. Wallace's proposed goloid coin
seems to use the thing. 1t will be the
reality of that beautiful figure of the
combination of the two metals in the
balance wheel of the watch, which the
Commercial has often cited as the thing
that would make gold and silver balance
each other separately. OF course the two
metals while separate do not carry out
the figure of the wheel of the watch. 1t
will make cheap coin that we can af-
ford to give for the paper, and we can
make 1t and the greenbacks as cheap as
we desire. To those that want a cheap
metal dollar this is the thing.
