ON THE DEFENSIVE.

O0udtOE Dthiu0 Vi maine, VINO made
it lively in the Senate as soon as it con.
vened by introducing ~ resolution to
investigate election frauds in the South,
is placed once more on the defensive
At one time, while a member of the
House of Representatives, he was
charged with being implicated in rail
road and other jobs which came before
Congress, and for advocating the pass
age of which it was alleged he received
handsome ices. While committee of
the House was investigating these
charges Blaine was ''sun STRUCK" and
had to leave. or at any rate left Wash.
iDgton. A few weeks later. in fact the
moment Congress adjourned. he re
covered as suddenly as be was stricken,
and participated in the ensuing cam.
paign, apparently as vigorous as at any
time In his,llfe. The following winter
he was appointed. Senator to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation of
Lot 81. Morrill,, and passed from the
jurisdiction of the House to the Senate.
The investigation of course ended with
his appointment to the Senate, of which
body he has since been the most ag sres-
sive member. de openly accuses the
South of multiplying the recent amend
ments to the Constitution, and depriv-
ing the colored citizens of the elective
franchise. and introduces resolu.
hon to investigate election frauds in
that section. He at first opposes
but finally acquiesces in an amend
ment to extend thu investigation to
NIL the States where outrages or frauds
are alleged to have prevailed. A mo.
tion to maize the Investigation public
is opposed by Blaine. who desires the
Committee to sit with closed doors, and
secretly examine witnesses. and the
gentleman is placed once more on the
defensive. A committee of Senators.
which it is said will divide into sub.
committees, are to visit every State.
North aud South, in which intimidation
or frauds are alleged to have been com.
nitted at the recent election. Their
sessions arctic BE- held 10 secret, and
the public are to be aforde;n no oppor-
tunity to learn what they are doing. al
though the public have to pay the ex-
pense of the investigation. Honest
men who do not believe in using force
or frauds to carry elections, may be
charged by interested witnesses of be.
Ing Implicated ia schemes to subvert
the will of the majority without having
opportunity to defend themselves, or
even knowing who their accusers are,
and all this because Seneator Blaine SO
desires it. Mr.. Blaine is said to be
the founder and principal head of Sc
eret organization which proposes to dis
franchise persons who differ frora it's
members in religious belief, and prob
ably for this reason is partial to secret
Investigations. However. his opposi-
lion to having the Committee sit like a
Court of justice. with open doors. has
placed him on the defensive, and leads
fair minded persons to. suspect that the
investigation is not intended to benefit
suiidozed citizens. Or expose frauds,
but simply as machine for making DO
htical capital.

The New BrIdges In HOLLAND.

less than half for the substructure, has

Shopping on the Sea.

People after n long sea-voyage are
naturally eager for fresh fruit A lady
correspondent of the Adudnce. who was
a passenger on one of the Pacific mail
steamships, informs us how her desire
was gratified while the vessel lay at an
chor five miles of the little Mexican
coast town of Mazatlau. The natives
came out in boats, bringing tempting
supplies of the produce of the country.
Here were huge clusters of bananas,
plucked freshly from the tall palms
which we could see quite plainly on the
land,-of most exquisite flavor; pine
apples, such as can only be ripcned un-
der warm, nell W, tropical sun lines
of pleasant acidity, suggestive of cool
lemonade; oranges, too large TO hold
comfortably in your hand, unless il be a
large one, and cocoanuts, melons and
mangoes in abundance.
That is what the merchants offered us.
Now how aid we buy them?
The distance between us was about
the same that il would be if we had
been standing at the upper window of
an ordinary two-storied house, and the
boatman on the ground, and there was
such n clamor of voices of men and
women calling their wares and the
prices, that it was quite deafening at first.
But when trade had fairly begun, it
was really quite easy and pleasant. and
certainly it was novel way of doing
shopping. Suppose we wished some
bananas. We look about until we find
a man who has fine ripe ones. attract his
attention, as you would that Of n horse
car driver, and call out, " Bananas
here;" and he answers, in n queer Mexi-
can fashion, Banana, yes"
How much P'
One bunch-ffteen cents"
" You send them up"
Then he puts his fruit i'm a light
wicker basket, or twine bag, TO the han
die of which long rope is attached, and
throws one end of the rope 70 us. If
we are skillful enough, we may catch it
the first time, but probably not, for the
distance is considerable, and it often be-
comes quite exciting to watch the
attempts of purchasers to get their
goods.
One young lady of our party nearly
fell overheard when reaching for
the rope. But when it is once secured,
we gently draw up the bag or basket.
take out the fruit and put in the money,
and toss it down into the boat quite
carefully, lest the money should be lost.
Now we may like TO get some of the
curious necklaces which the women
have TO sell. If 80, we shall do well TO
wait until il is nearly time for the
steamer TO leave, as prices diminish
rapidly in proportion to the time for
making sales.

A River that Does Not Give Tn It's
Dead

The Colorado River is noted for
swirls," 80 called. They occur every
where, but only at high stages of water.
A bubble rises from the bottom and
breaks with a slight sound on the sur
face. The water ut the point begins a
rotary motion, so small that an inverted
tea-cup might cover it, Larger and
larger grows the circle, till n surface Of
forty feet in diameter is in motion,
spinning round a funnel-shaped hole in
the center, two or three feet across al
the top, and coming TO n point in the
depths below. Often large tree float
ing down the stream is caught, and it's
foremost end thrust up i'm the air twenty
or thirty feet, while the other passes
underneath the exposed end to be
slowly drawn down again, and to disap-
pear. Three soldiers, deserters from
Camp Mohave, passing through the ra-
vine in q skih, Immediately below the
fork, suffered their craft 10 run into a
swirl. One Of the crew, at the first in
timation Of danger, threw himself over
board beyond the charmed circle. and
as he swan away he turned his head
and saw the boat spin round until one
end being drawn into the vortex and
the other upheaved in the air, 10 slowly
sank as % revOlvcd into the turbid bosom
Of the river, its human freight to be
seen no more; for the Colorado River
does not give up the dead mo cOrpses

In it we're possible to believe what
Olive Logan writes and sometimes il
is--it Is terribly dangerous for gentle
man with character and money 20 travel
unprotected on an English railway. No
gentleman who has any self-respect per-
mits himself TO be left alone with n lady
in railway carriage, those cOmpart-
ment affairs, where poor man il wholly
at the mercy Of any skillful and design
ing woman who sees fit 20 take advan-
tage Of his exposed condition and make
him victim. We are assured that this
is no joke, and il is probable that every
man who has been there will realize that
IL isn't. When an English lady is in
need Of funds she straightway takes
passage in a railway carriage with some
old fellow who has money and position,
and throws herself upon him in q per-
fectly ladylike manner, modern
Madame POtiphaT, in action at least
and then screams and rushes around
frantically, as any lady would do, until
the gentleman agrees TO pay her some
thing TO keep still about it, whatever IL
is, feeling without any doubt that he
has committed a most tremendous out
rage and ought TO be shot on the spot for
the most dastardly outlaw Of his sex.
OF course, only ladies do such things az
this; nobody else would think Of it, and
II is humiliating 10 contemplate that in
many cases Americans arc the victims.
What is called painful affair."" show
ing this new kind Of English industry, is
recited, the gentleman being one we'll
known i'm America, and his fcllOw-trav-
eler a lady by birth and breeding" As
this particular lady was addicted TO the
flowing bowl and was at the time con-
siderably under the influence of the
ardent as Mr. Dick Swivcller would
say, nothing came Of IT, fortunately,
although ,he gentlemen was fearfully in
suited. This is no doubt a warning 10
all gentlemen that, If they must travel
alone with ladies Of birth and
breeding, they would do well 70 select
such as are inebriated; but perhaps the
best way is not 10 travel-if you have
any character to spoil.
