WASHINGTON. April 15.-There
is great opposition to Early, the
Presidents nominee for Chief of
the Bureau Of Construction of the
navy. Although he is n Republic
can, the Republicans will general
ly oppose his confirmation, while
the Democrats favor him.
A new class of claims will be
pressed in the next Congress for
payment. When Sherman entered
Savannah he stated that every
thing taken from private persons
would be paid for. Receipts were
issued and now the holders of re-
ceipts, aggregating in value over
one million dollars claim that they
have not been paid.

when VIC DemornII.e Ihe stomach

BY excuses or imprudence in eating, we
can not hope 10 escape the consequences for
any great length of time. The most robust
digestion must succumb to abuses of that
important function But supposing that we
have been foolish enough TO enfeeble the
stomach, is fhe damage irreparable? By TO
means. The dyspeptic has only to do two
things to insure his ultimate recovery.
First, he should adopt an easily digestible
diet. Second, he should use with regularity
and persistence Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the leading gastric invigorant of the age. The
multiform symptoms of dyspepsia, and the al
most invariably attendant disorders, bilious
ness and constipation, will assuredly cease
to persecute the sufferer if the above advice
is attended to. Who that has suffered the
torrents that chronic indigestion inhicts
will neglect to take advantage of a remedy
which, if the most positive evidence OF the
medical profession and the public is to be
received with due eredence, is an absolute
specific for the complaint.

American Diamond Cutting.

From an illustrated paper by DIR.
VIM. J. Morton, in ,Scri6ner for Sep
ten Der, we learn as follows: The
Cape diamonds, which now form the
worlds only steady supply, all go to
London; for this capital has become not
only great center for buying and sell
ing, but also for cutting,-an industry
once monopolized by Amsterdam but
now equally shared with its rival. No
one can estimate the great store of yellow
diamonds in the rough that lie there in
merchants safes awaiting sale But the
fate of stones of 5his color is settled
they never can recover their lost pres
tige; or, granting that the flow from
the mines should cease and that they
should again become popular, the supply
already on hand to work up and cut
would suffice the world dozens of years.
On the other hand the estimated ten per
cent. of white Cape stones find an imme-
date sale, principally and ultimately
after cutting, for the American market.
American purchasers it is said, are the
most critical judges of diamonds and will
have only the best white.
We should be surprised if in a country
famed for its mechanical ingenuity the
art of cutting diamonds should be left

however, only within few years that
this industry has become established
here. Mr.. Henry Morse, of Boston, and
Mr. Hermann, of New York, were the
pioneers, and yet remain sole COMPETE
tors, the former with true Yankee ingen-
uity, solving the problem with distin-
guished success for himself, and the lat
ter bringing with him a knowledge of
the trade from Europe. The cleaning,
cutting and polishing of the rough stone
can now be done as well here as abroad,
or Gas believe, judging by results and
from the testimony OF experts) better.
Stones cut in Europe are frequently re-
and repolished in this country,
thereby gaining much in value, and
others abandoned in the rough as not
worth cutting are here converted into
excellent brilliants.

A Sketch of the Present Turkish
Premier.

The present Turkish Premier, Safvet
Pasha, is, like his great predecessor,
Midhat. one of the few native Turks
who have attained a high position by
downright hard work, instead of Court
intrigues and have adopted the enlight-
ened views of the civilized West without
losing particle of their national spirit.
Born III 1916, he entered the Govern.
ment service as translator at an early
age, and speedily attained the post Of
private secretary to the Sultan, Abdul
/ Mediid, who, disipated and worthless as
he was, had at least the merit of reeog-
nizing and rewarding talent. He
showed his sense of the young civilians
capacity by making him a member OF
the Imperial Council, where Safvet dis
tinguished himself in such a way that,
at the time of the Crimean war, he was
selected for the very important office OF
Commissioner of the Danubian Prlncl-
palities In this capacity he was called
upon to preside over the Commission
which, in 1858, settled the boundaries
of Roumania and the mutual relations
of its Moldavian and Wallachisn di-
visions; and it was here that he saw Tor
the first time a man who WAS hereafter
to exercise paramount influence upon
his fortunes and those of his country.
The Russian representative with whom
he had to deal was General Chen
Colonel) Nicholas Ignatieff, at that time
only twenty-six years of age, but al
ready beginning to display the torml-
dable talents that lurked beneath his
smooth, inscrutable mask. This constant
intercourse with the representatives OF
civilized Europe did Safvet Pasha good
service during his mission to Pans IN
1865; and his successive tenures OF
Office as Minister of Commerce and
Public Works, Of Justice, of Education
and of Foreign Affairs, showed thai ms
services were fully appreciated; put
change was at hand. Dragged down by
the fall of his incapable colleague,
Abdul Kerim, he was superseded ny

The prospects of the Southern Pacific
Railway grow brighter. The track, for
400 miles, passes through a reputed
desert, where rain Is too scanty for
agriculture, and the soil IN its dry state
looks barren. Now the company's ar
tesian well, three hundred feet deep,
yields Sc, 600 gallons of flowing water,
and geologists, having the formation to
guide them, have examined the whole
Tulare valley, 200 by 80 miles. They
report that broad and deep river flows
under the whole country, and every
acre can be brought into high production
by boring 30l or 40N feet for water at a
cost under 81 900 for each well. Ex-
periments made In Kern County prove
that sugar cane does better than in
Louisiana, especially, because 1t Is en-
tiTely exempt rom autumnal frosts. But
ii also contains more sugar. COttOndOes
equally well, though cool nights may
interfere with the length of its hb-r.
These products pay so much better than
other California crops, and irrigation
secures perennial returns, that these
lands will bear extra valuation and the
population viii be denser. The dearth
of timber viii soon be remedied. The
railway, for its own use, has a three hun
dred acre forest of eucalyptus trees,
planted since it began work. Having
now irrigated water, the growth of five
years hence will give abundance Of ties
and telegraph poles.
Engineers estimate the value Of that
forest five years hence at $4,000. For
building and fencing it would be equally
valuable, and if settlers make a rule to
plant trees this rainless valley would
soon attract moisture from the clouds
and change the climate materially. For
this valley hugs the great timbered
mountains of the Sierra range. which
now, by superior attraction, oraw from
the naked valley the fare share OF rain
fall, which fair share of forest would
not fail to attract to the plains.
The certainty of crops and the peren-
NAL pastures of these irrigated lands are
turning farmers from the uncertain bot
tom lands of western California to the
eastern plains. Thisis working change
IN their relative valuations, which, how
ever, may be equalized hereafter by ar
tesian irrigation, equally easy TO OBJ
tain, on the bottoms of the Sacramento
and the foothills on their borders.
When artesian irrigation becomes gen
eral, as it soon viii, and land monopollsts
are forced to subdivide equally surel
it seems that California must take the
first rank in productiveness, as 1t now
does in climatic attraction.

hope, from pains to Joys" We put
away our bOyish toys with an odd
heartache. We are too old to walk any
longer on our stills - too tall To play
marbles on the sidewalk Yet here was
pang when we thought we had pIaved
with our merry thoughts for the last
time, and life's serious, grown-up wosk
was waiting for us. Now we do not
want the lost toys back. Life has other
and larger playthings for us. Nav it

seem to our manhood, and we shall
learn that death is but the opening of

PERHAPS some of our young readers
are not familiar with the following puz-
zle: A young man asked an old man for
his daughter in marriage. The answer
was, d" Go into the orchard and bring in
aparcel of apples. Give me One-half
Of the whole number, and the mother
one-half Of the balance and half an
apple over, and the daughter one-half
the remainder and half an apple
over, and have one left for your
self without cutting the apple, and,
then, if he is willing, you can have her."
He solved the question, and how many
did he bring? Fourteen as you can
easily prove. The old man was to have
one-haf OF the apples, which would be
seven. The mother was to have one
half of the balance, which would be
three and a half, and half an apple
over, which would make four apples for
her. There would be three apples left,
Of which the daughter was to have one
half and half an apple over, which
you'd be her two, and leave the lover
bis one, without cutting the apple"
