The question at issue between this Gov
ernment and England concerning the
fishery privileges Is remaining in stataquo:
No reply to Mr.. Evart's memorandum OF
September 2Sth has been received. A re-
ply, however, Is expected shortly, but it
may come after the day tthe 29d inst. fixed
for the payment OF the s., SOC, 900 award to
England. The Secretary's note called for
an open avowal or disavowal by the Brit
ish Government OF the claim OF Newfound-
land that the rights guaranteed American
fishermen by the Treaty OF Washington
are subject to her local laws. The Secre-
tary indicated pretty clearly that II En-
gland took the affirmative on this question,
the payment OF the award would be with
held. In this position he has been con-
siderably strengthened by the unanimity
with which the whole press OF the coun-
try has upheld him. So 1t may be almost
certainly predicted that should the expect
cd reply OF Lord Salisbury be antagonistic
TO the position Mr.. Evarts has taken, the
whole subject will find its way back into
Congress with some. very strong recon.
mendations from the Administration. II
no reply is received from England before
the 23d inst, the award will not be paid
on that date; the protection Of American
fishermen in their guaranteed rights being
deemed sufficient grounds for Withholding
payment. The State Department is very
anxious to see what comments the English
press may make on the question at issue.
The Pail Mall Gazette and the Daily London
Neus are the only papers that SO far have
been heard from. The former is rather
s,vere in It's criticism OF Mr.. Evarts' course,
bit the latter indicates that there are peo-
pie in England from whom fair consider

factory. The class OF young men present
ing themselves as candidates for admission
has also improved. He recommends that
the practice OF ofmaking September appoint
ments be discontinued, and that all appoint
ments be made In June, instead OF June
and September. This would decrease an
nually the number Of admissions to the In.
stitution, and consequently the number oi
graduates therefrom. An advance In the
standard for admission and for graduation
Is suggested. The hygienic condition o.
West Point Is reported as very bad, mala

by Congress at It's last session has enabled
this defect TO he partially remedied. Con

The finances of Pomona Grange
are I'D prosperous condition. The
Committee will submit 4 detailed re-
port during the session. Allow me
TO caution the Grange not to repeat
the folly of too many charitable and
public institutions of voting away
the funds in the treasury in such q
manner as to cripple the usefulness
of the Pomona Grange by a want of
funds to meet the necessary de-
mands upon the treasury. Patrons
should pride themselves in the fact
that our county Grange has been 50
successfully managed and the funds
so prudently and economically ex-
pended so as to leave Il creditable
sum in the treasury, corresponding
with the character OF Il county or
ganiGttion. You may sometimes
have considered me penuIfous for
the jealousy with which / watched
over the treasury but yov will ex-
cuse me when YOU think Of the fact
that this Is an absolute necessity in
institutions of a charitable or public
character.
l would recommend that the BY
Laws be so amended as to make all
voting members that are in good
standing, and clear or the books of
tlre county Grange. Justice, it ap-
pears to me, demands it-and it is
permitted by the state Grange.
Fellow Patrons, in view Of all
these facts that | have stated to our
fraternal body, we should be salts
fled with the progress we have made.
and be thankful to the God who
controls all things well, that he has
cast our lots in pleasant places and
protected our Order from disaster.
We have everything to encourage
us to go on and make our Order per-
petral. In closing my address, al
low me to quote the lines of the
poet
BE thou hero let thy might
Tramp on eternal SHOWS its way,
And through the ebon walls Of Night,
Hew down passage unto day
Press on ! there's no such word Is fail
Press nobly on /! the goal is near
Ascend the mountain breast the gale
Look upward, onward-ncver fear!

The laws Of the State of Virginia

of hesitation, Informed the urbane
Mr.. Brown that lie was going to get
married to Betty Joues, and wanted
to know what he must do to com.
pass that desirable cOnsummation.
Mr.. Brown, with a bland smile,
informed him that after being salts
fed that no legal impeachment pre-
vented the ceremony. he would for
the sum and consideration of s.
grant him the license. John, much
relieved, handed out the necessary
funds.
"Allow me-" said Brown, "to

"Do you solemnly swear that Bet

The Secret of Business Success.

It is claimed that Vanderbilt exhibited
great nerve and shrewd business sagacity in
the purchase of stocks and railroads con-
trolled by him. Yet, whenever he made an
investment he received in return an equiva-
lent either as his own, or as collateral secu-
rity. DR.. r. V. Pierce has invested many
hundred thousand dollars in advertising, de-
pending entirely upon the superior merits of
his goods for security. The unparalleled
popularity of his family medicines, and the
annual increase in their sale, attests in argus
meuts stronger than words of their purity
and efficiency. If the blood be impover-
ished, tho liver sluggish or there be tumors,
blotches, and pimples, Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will effect speedy and
perfect cure. IF the bowels be constipated
use DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
Debilitated females suffering with those pe-
culiar dragging down sensations and weak

relief and permanent cure have so univer-
sally followed its use, that tho doctor now

From the valleys and the hills,
And the sunshine warm and tender,
Falls in beauty OH the rills.
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray:
We shall know each other better.
When the mists have cleared away,
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawnine of the morning
When the mists have cleared away.
Whom the mists have risen above us.
AS our father knows his own,
Face to face with those who love us,
We shall know as we are known,
Low beyond the Orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day:
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
When the day of light is dawning
And the mists have cleared away.

Why they Went to War.

ing: Send me blue pig with a black tail.
or else"
The other replied
al have not got one, and If had"
On this weghty cause they went to war.
After they had exhausted their armies and
resources, and laid waste their kingdoms,
they begin to wish to make peace but before
this could be done, it was NECESSARY that the
insulting language that led to the trouble
should be explained.
"What could you meah, asked the second
King Of the first, "by saying Send me
blue pig with black tail, or else-""
why" said the other, II meant blue
pig with black tail, Or else soine other color.
But what could you mean by saying Il have
not got one, and if l had-r"
"Wby, of course, if had l should have
sent it."
The explanation was satisfactory, and peace
was accordingly concluded.
The story of the two Kings ought to servo
as lesson to us all. Most of the qusrrels
between individuals are quite as foolish ns
the war of the blue pig with a black tail.
