The Trade Dollars.

1t is the opinion of the treasury off,
Gals that, if the question is tested before
the courts, the Government will be COM
PEELED to redeem all those trade dollars
coined before the passage of the law of
July %, 1876, when the trade dollar was
Invested of that legal-tender quality
which it had possessed, in sums not ex-
ceeding IS, from the time it was first
coined in 1873, but as it will be impos-
sible to ascertain what trade dollars were
coined before and what we're coined after
the law of 1876 was passed, it is thought
at the treasury that the best way out of
the dilemma will be to redeem those
coinsat par and retire them from circu.
htion. 1t is probable that Secretary
sherman will makes recommendation 10
tha1 effect in his annual report to Con-

be brought to bear on Congress to in

dollars or to place them on an equality

A great work now in course of execu-
ton IA the Lighthouse of Ar-men, ON a
rock beyond the Isle of Sein, off Cape
Finisterre Nand's End, Brittany,
Western France. In 1900 commission
was first appointed to inquire into the
possibility of constructing n lighthouse
at this point, where the currents were so
tremendous that even in the calmest
weather they caused very heavy sea in
certain directions OF the wind. The rock
is OF hard gneiss, from forty to fifty feet
in length, and about twenty-five in
breadth. The preliminary work was
done by fishermen of the Isle of Sein,
whose familiarity with these waters en-
abled them 10 reach the rock when no one
else could. Their method was, when
opportunity offered, for two of them,
wearing cork belts, to get out of their
boats and lie upon the rock, which they
clutched with one hand. while they made
holes at intervals of three feet with the
other. Meanwhile they were covered
with spray, and sometimes carried away
to be recovered by boat. In 1867 only
eight hours work could be accomplished,
and fifteen holes made. Next year forty
holes were made. In 1866 the building
was begun. and now the tower is forty
feet above the highest tides. 1t is in
tended to be about ninety feet above

A Duel in a Balloon.

Perhaps the most remarkable duel
ever fought was one which took place in
1908. OF course it happened in France,
and, as usual, a woman was at the bot
tom of the difference. NJ. De Grand
pre- and M. lie Pique quarreled over a
Mademoiselle Tirevit, of the Imperial
Opera. They agreed upon duel, and,
so that the heat of their angry passions
should not interfere with the polished
elegance of the officer, they agreed to
postpone it month, and the lady agreed
to bestow her smiles and Establishments
on the survivor. They were to fight in
the air. Two balloons were built ex-
actly alike. On the day appointed, COM
batants and seconds entered their re-
spective balloons from the garden of the
Tuileries, amid a vast concourse of
lookers-on. The gentlemen agreed to
fire-not at each other, but at
each others balloon. So each
was armed with blunderbuss. At q
given signal the ropes were cut. The
wind was moderate, and the monsters of
the air foated away about eighty
yards apart. When about half mile
from the earth signal was given to fire.
M. Pique fired but missed. M. Grand
pre- fired and sent ball through his op-
ponent's balloon, which at once collapsed,
and descended with such rapidity that
principal and second were dashed to
pieces. De Grandpre continued on his
aerial voyage, and safely landed twenty
one miles from Paris

Potato Bugs.

That plague of American farmers, the
potato bug, has recently swarmed over
the country near Saratoga lake in such
numbers that at one time serious fears
for the crops were entertained. After a
time, however, the bugs began to fly over
the lake, and it was noticed that, being
unable to reach the opposite shore, they
dropped to the surface of the water, and
were at once carried under by the i'm
mense schools of fish in it. The farm
ers at once began to rejoice at what they
regarded as an almost providential rid
dance of the pest, but soon their glad
ness was turned into fresh trouble, for
it was found that the fish, unable to di-
gest the hard shells Of the bugs, died,
and were washed up on the shore in
large quantities. Many of them have
been found filled with hundreds of bugs.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

1t is stated upon apparently good
authority that the administration at Washing
ton has settled upon the following policy as
regards the Rio Grande border difficulties with
Mexico
First Raiders are to be pursued with increased
vigor when they retreat to Mexican soil, and pun
ished If caught. The troops engaged in these
pursuing sortes will be increased from time to
time.
Second-The commanding officer of the pursuing
column will not seek a conflict with the Mexican
regular forces, but will not avoid if such forces
interfere
Third-The utmost care will be taAen to give no
offense cause Of complaint to the Mexican author
tiles people that may follow from the faithful
and crcumspect execution of their duties.
Forth-No offense is meaut to the Mexican Gov
erDment the design of the United States being
simply to punish depredations upon the rights,
property, and lives of its citizens
Fifth-Nothing which may occur on the south
bank of the Rio Grande a result of the execution
of this policy will be accepted by the administration
immediate of between the coun-
tries, but if the Mexican regular troops shall cross
the river in retaliation for these measures, casus
belli may be construed therefrom.
Washington is overrun with counter
felt money, every merchant in the place hav-
ing more Or less of it on hand.
There is marked falling off in the
internal-revenue receipts for the month of
August, as compared with the same period last
year.
ALL the money packages received at
the Treasury Department from yellow'fever
districts are, by order of the Treasurer, disin-
fected by the use of carbolic acid. The other
day lady counted package from New Or
leans before she was aware where it came
from, and, upon learning it was yellow-fever
package, she was 80 overcome that she was not
able to do any work for three days. s
Orders have been issued by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to the Collector
at Nashville, requiring him to enlist all the
men necessary for q "short sharp, and de-
cisive campaign" against the "moonshine-
whisky makers in Tennessee.

A Graphic California Death Sentence.

In the District Court at San Buena-
ventura, f. A. Sprague was called up
for sentence. After the court had over
ruled a motion for new trial, Judge
Fawcett said, after directing the ,pris-
oner to stand up: "F. A. Sprague,
you have been convicted of the highest
crime known to the law. You were
skillfully defended at the trial. Every
device was exhausted to save you, but
jury of your fellow-citizens has pro-
nounced you guilty of the great crime
with which you are charged. In the
dead hours of night you, the leader of a
band OF masked assassins, applied the
torch to the premises of your victim.
and, as he rushed, startled and half
naked, into the light of the flames, you
closed up on him and shot him near to
death. He attempted flight; you pur-
sued; he fell before you, with plead
ing voice that should have wrung pity
from heart of iron, but you remorse-
lessly riddled him with bullets, as you
would a carcass of dog There is no
language strong enough to depict the
atrocity of such deed. Your guilt is
as clear as evidence can make it. You
probably thought you would be upheld
by the community in which you lived.
Thank God, you were mistaken. There
are but few monsters to applaud your
act. The result of your trial proves
that we are yet governed by law /; that
we are community of enlightened human
beings, and not society of savages.
The law has seized you, and the voices
of twelve good men held you in its mex
orable grasp to pay the dreadful penalty
of your crime. Let your fate be a
warning that justice is sure to follow
crime, sometimes travelling slowly with
leaden heel, but striking with an iron
hand. 1 will not affect for you O SYM
pathy do not feel. There is no point
in your case for sympathy to grasp at,
so far as you are concerned. / deeply
feel for your faithful wife and children.
They are the ones who need and de-
serve pity and sympathy of kind hearts.
It only remains to formally conclude
this painful duty. The judgment of the
court is that on Friday, the 9th of Sep
TENDER next, between the hours of 10
a. m. and p. M, you are to be hanged
by the neck until you are dead, and may
God Almighty have mercy upon yonr
SOUL"
Sprague presented q stolid indifference
and perfect calmness while sentence was
being passed. His wife and daughters
were present, and were calm and un-

Potato Blossoms As Ornaments.

"Potato plants used to be grown, very
long time ago, in front yards in Broad
way, New York, for the sake of the
flowers, which were much priced for
bouquets and other ornamental pur-
poses. However, the potatoes them
selves"-I suppose this means the
tubers-" became such favorite food in
few years that the plants were pro-
NOTED backward from the fower-beds to
the kitchen-gardens and open fields.
The beauty of the blossoms was forgot
ten in the usefulness of their roots. p
