The Protocol.

The "protocol has been signed
Europe is just as uneasy as before. The
pleasant suggestion Of England that Rus
STA should agree to disarm has been po-
itely declined by the latter power; still,
the protocol has been signed. The
amount Of peace to be secured by the
signing is thus estimated by the London
Times: "Were Russia really anxious
for war some weeks or some months
hence, she would not be barred by any
thing in the protocol. The value of the
protocol depends on the disposition of
Russia herself" This being the case,
the ingenious reader may ask, Why
should the protocol have been signed at
all? IF it leaves things just as they
were, what is its use? Since Russia pro-
posed it, what gain did Russia expect {?
Since England accepted it, what induce
ment did it offer to England ?-NeaO

The Whirligig of Time.

The Prince Imperial was 81 years
old on the 18th. These twenty-one
years show strange political changes :
Russia defeated and Turkey triumphant;
France and England victorious in field
and siege, and Turkey admitted to the
public law OF Europe; Sardinia making
her first appearance as q European
power; Prussia excluded from the Con-
gress Of Paris, where Sardinia takes the
vacant seat, in 1856. In 1877 we have
Turkeyin bankruptcy, anarchy and ruin;
Russia pressing exactly the same COM
plant as in 1854; the French empire
gone; Sardinia expanded into Italy ;
Prussia absorbed into Germany, and Ger
many chief master of the Continent.
And in 1856 the names of Bismarck and
Ignatieff had never been mentioned; to-
day they are the two most eminent diplo-
matists in Europe. Yen York Tribune.

An Aggravated Case of Nother.in.Law

A widower in ST. Joseph, Mo-, had two
charming daughters; a widow had two
agreeable sons; these were married to
those; the widow lived alone; the young
sister and her husband went to house
keeping; the old sister and her husband
boarded with the widow. The older sis
ter invited the younger sister and her
husband to make visit at the widow
house. The widow was wroth She
locked up her boarder and the baby in
their room, and when the guests arrived
escorted them to another room and turned
the key upon them. Then she led her
older son into her boarder's room and &C
cused her Of smothering the baby,
whereupon he struck his wife and gave
her ferocious beating, the mother-in-
law kicking the PROSTATE woman and
cursing her. The younger son, hearing
screams and uproar, burst open the door
of the room in which he was imprisoned,
and restored peace in the household by
drawing revolver and threatening to
shoot his mother and his brother. The
older daughter has returned to her faith

Cuba and the United States.

The Cuban question has slumbered at
Washington during the absorbing events
of the past year, but it seems likely to be
brought forward again as a proper sub
ject for decisive action by the admins
tration. The proclamation of Gen. Cam
pos, giving notice that after May l the
rules of civilized warfare will be sus-
pended in the treatment of captured in
surgents and deserters, who will be
promptly tried by court-martial and shot,
has aroused public interest in Cuban
affairs, and it is expected that the Gov
eminent will at once adopt a settled
policy with reference to the question of
Spanish barbarity and misrrlle in that
unhappy island. Secretary Evarts is
known to favor energetic measures for
the coTection'of these abuses, and the
Cuban business is in fair way to be
handled with something more Of vigor
and decision than was the rule under
Secretary Fish's regime. - Chicago

Story of a Tramp.

This is the story that a tramp told to a
reporter of the Journal, in Dayton, 0.
He went to Brazil in 1864 and tried his
luck in the diamond fields. His COM
panions committed robbery, and he was
SO much implicated that he shared their
fate of being sentenced to death. They
were guillotined together, and afterward
he was surprised to awaken to conscious
ness and find that he was alive. He felt
strange sensation at his throat, and was
unable to stir A man was bending over
him. Then he became unconscious
again, and the next that he knew he was
abed. The man whom he had seen be-
fore explained that he was physician,
and had obtained from the Government
permission to experiment on the bodies.
He had quickly joined decapitated
head to body, and made the two grow
together. The patient recovered fast,
but he soon discovered that his body was
not the one he had previously possessed.
The physician had blunderingly joined
his head to the trunk OF Pedro, a Brazil
ian. $50 you see," said the tramp,
"my head is all right, but my body has
all the laziness of Pedro, who was a
shiftless vagabond. You don't believe
it? Look here" pulling down his shirt
at the neck, "don't you see that line
around my throat? Above it the skin is
white, but below it the color is dark -
The reporter, however, was unable to
discern any mark Or difference in color.

Life's Allurements.

The unhappy man who has been lured
all winter to take chances in lottery
for chamois- oyster drowned in a bushe1
of hot-peppered milk, at so cents plate,
is no sooner rejoicing in his enlancipa-
ton from church sociables than the
pious ladies of the congregation begin
to plan strawberry festivals. A lady
who is considered an authority on such
subjects writes that this springs fashion
in short-cake will have more sawdust
than usual in it, and will be cut bias and
trimmed with one berry to the piece.
The most fashionable tint will be two
shades of sa!eratus yellow.

4 MOuSe's Theft.

Some months ago MI. J. Skidmore
Higbie, of Springfield, L. l., put $50 in
greenbacks carefully away in a closet
where his wife kept her mince-pies
When he went to look for his money
some time afterward it was gone, and he
gave it up as lost after fruitless search,
supposing that some thief had stolen it.
When his wife took the last mince-pie
from the upper shelf, however, she was
surprised to find mouses nest in the
middle Of it, and further surprised to
find that it was made of the missing
greenbacks, which had been torn into
pieces so small that not single bill
could be properly reconstructed. Mr..
Higbie does not suffer any loss, how
ever, as an influential friend has obtained
from the Treasury Department the full
amount Of the money. -NeeO York

A 100000 Bank Note.

An extraordinary affair happened
about the year 1740. One Of the Direc-
tors of the Bank of England, very rich
man, had occasion for EDO, which he
was to pay as the price of all estate he
had just bought To facilitate the mat
ter, he carried the sum with him to the
bank, and obtained for it bank note.
On his return home he was suddenly
called out On particular business. He
threw the note carelessly on the mantel-
piece, but, when he came back a few
minutes afterward to lock it up, it was
not to be found. No one had entered
the room -; he could not, therefore, sus-
pect any person. At last, after much in
it had fallen from the mantel-piece into
the fire. The Director went to acquaint
his colleagues with the misfortune that
had happened to him and, as he was
known to be perfectly honorable man,
he was readily believed. It was only
about twenty-four hours after the time
that he had deposited his money; they
thought, therefore, that it would be hard
to refuse his request for a second note.
He received it upon giving an obligation
to restore the first note if it should ever
be found, or pay the money himself if it
should be presented by any stranger.
About thirty years afterward (the Direc-
tor having been long dead, and his heirs
in possession of his fortUne), an unknown
man presented the lost note at the bank,
and demanded payment. It was in vain
they mentioned to this person the trans
action by which that note was annulled :;
he would not listen to it. He maintained
that it had come to him from abroad, and
insisted upon immediate payment The
note was payable to bearer, and the
$50, 900 was paid to him. The heirs of
the Director would not listen to any de-
mands OF restitution, and the bank was
obliged to sustain the loss. It was dis
covered afterward that an architect, hay
ing purchased the Directors house, had
taken it down in order to build another
on the same spot, and found the note in
the crevice of the chimney, and made his
discovery an engine for robbing the bank,
in which he was completely successful

OUR PAPER CURRENCY.
Over 664,OOO,OOO of Greenbacks and
Bank Notes in Circulation.

Over $664,OOO. 900 OF Greenbacks and
Bank Notes in Circulation.
The issues Of national bank notes Tor
the month of March were 81, 979, 100, of
which so per cent, viz, 1883, $50 in
greenbacks, were destroyed; leaving the
outstanding legal tender circulation 1862,
$50, 204. The Comptroller of the Cur
rency says the above issue is the largest
amount of additional circulation paid
out during any month for the past two
years, and that about two-thirds of the
amount was reissued to banks which had
previously retired their circulation and
taken up their bonds. The amount of
national bank circulation outstanding on
Jan. IA, 1875, was 1851, 100000. The
act of that date authorized the issue of
circulating notes without limit, subject
to existing laws, and also provided that
an amount equal to 80 per cent. of the
additional bank notes issued should be
retired if legal-tender notes. Since that
date $57, 100000 of national bank notes
have been retired and surrendered, and
1924, 100000 of additional circulation is
sued, making total decrease of 1913,
100000 of national bank notes, the
amount now outstanding being $685.
600, 900. IF the amount of legal-tender
notes on deposit for the purpose of re-
firing national bank notes, amounting to
$16,000,000, be deducted from the
amount of national bank notes now out
standing, it will leave $500, 900, 900, which
is but slightly in excess Of the $500, 000,-
600 authorized by the National Bank act
Of June 3, 1874 The total amount is
sued under the act of Jan. IA, 1875, to
date, was 1914, 179, 745, so per cent. of
which amount, or SIS, 343, 1856 in legal
tender notes, has been retired by the
Secretary Of the Treasury, leaving the
amount of legal-tender notes now out
standing 1862, $50, 2O4 The Comptroller
says that considerable amounts of doubt

or less proportion may reasonably be ex-

A Legal Firm.

There were two lawyers in partner
ship, with the peculiarly happy names
of Catchem and Chetum. People laughed
at seeing these two names in iuxtaposi-
ton over the door, so the lawyers
thought it advisable to separate them by
the insertion of their Christian names.

An Accused Locality,

A blighting curse seems to have fallen
on everybody who had anything to do
with the Mountain Meadows massacre !;
even the country seems to have suffered
from the same cause. The Mountain
Meadows are dreary, forbidding waste
of sand and sage brush, cut to pieces
and quilted through by heavy storms.
At the spring near where the emigrant
camp was located is a scene Of desola-
ton. The luxurious grass which tempt
ed the emigrants out of the main travelled
road is no more to be seen, and the
spring is a sunken pool of Shiny, filthy
water. Few persons now pass through
the meadows, all holding the place in
adherence and dread.
Even here in Cedar City the hand of
an avenging power is shown. The resi-
dents of the town of 1857 who took part
in the massacre have nearly all dlsap-
peared, and blight has followed them
and their work. The houses and families
of Haight, Higbee and Stewart are here,
and are objects of interest. It is thought
that they have left the country, never to
return. It's said they have entered into
an agreement to never be taken alive,
and their friends say that they are des
perate and brave, and will live or die by
their compact.
Lee has always preserved close,
friendly relations with the Indians, and
they are much interested in his execu-
ton. Some of them seem to think they
have lost q friend but [ have yet to con-
verse with the first white person here
who does not feel pleased that the great
criminal is no more. Salt Lake Herald.
