justifablep The Island Of Cyprus was
useless for the defense of Asia Minor.
Even granting the Governments con-
tention that the necessity existed for a
Convention, the necessity had been Gre
ated by themselves by not advising
Turkey to accept the original terms OF
peace, which would not have materially
increased Russia's dominions in Asia,
He denied the existence of British inter-
ests in Asia Minor, as that was not tho
road to India, and demonstrated that
the Governments utterances up to the
close of the war showed they
were of the same opinion.
Sir Charles Dixie supported the resoln-
ton. He believed the Convention would
ultimately and inevitably lead to war
with Russia. The tendency of those ar
rangements was to make England de-
tendency Of India. Other Liberals ex-
pressed themselves freely in the same
vein. Randall Plunkett, Bourke and
others defended the Government. In
the House of Lords there was also q

A Great California COllectiOnOf
Insects.

Some details have reached us concern
ing large collection in entomology
made by Henry Edwards of San Fran
cisco during the last 25 years. Proi.
Davidson, President of the Academy Oh
Sciences, states that this collection OF
insects is one of the largest ever maze
in the United States, and by far the most
complete ever made on the Pacific coast
1t consists of about 10000 species com'
prising more than 100000 specimens
These include not only all the orders on
the Pacific coast, but nearly or quite all
in the United States, with large rep
resentation of orders from all parts Oh
the world.
The collection is said to be reilly one
of the most complete known in any
country. 1t is valued at SlaOOO, OF,
rather, that is about the sum expended
in freights, cabinets, and the purchase
of rare specimens. The LABOR OF %

THERE is an impending conflict be-
tween the Internal Revenue Department
and the State of South Carolina. Not
long since party of four revenue Of
ficers, in attempting to arrest some
moonshiners, or illicit distillers of
whisky, were met with forcible resist
ance. Shots were exchanged, and some
of the moopshiners'' were killed.
Thereupon the State authorities arrest
ed the four revenue officers and impris-
oned them, to await trial upon the charge
of murder. The Federal authorities
demanded that their cases should be
transferred to the United States Courts.
The United States District-Attorney of
South Carolina ordered a writ of habeas
corpus, but the Sheriff of the county re-
fused to recognize the writ In this di-
lemma, the case was brought before the
President, Attorney General, Secretary
of State, and Revenue Commissioner,
and, as the result of the conference, it
was decided to assert the authority of
the Government at any hazard, release
the prisoners, and bring them before
the United States Court for hearing.

Female Clerks in the Departments as
W0ShingsOn,

The first female clerks in the National
Treasury were appointed in 1862 BY Secre-
tary Chase, who placed them in the Office
of the Controller of the Currency at 5000 a
year. They cut and trimmed the United
States notes Issued in sheets, and did their
work very we'll. As soon as they had been
appointed, there were many other appli-
cants, and their number steadily increased,
many OF them securing places through the
peculiar energy and perseverance which
will refuse TO take no for an answer, There
are now more than / 800 women in the de.
partments at Washington, the maiority
employed in the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing and in the Government Printing
office. They excel as counters, their slender
sentative fingers turning notes with great
rapidity and exactne.. They detect coun-
terfeib, it is said, quicker than men,
though they do not succeed 30 we'll in &C
counts, as the average feminine mind has
little natural love of figures. Counters and
eopyists receive $500 . year; other women
u, 200 to 81, 400, several Of them 81 COO,
and one In the Internal Revenue 81 500
Most the clerks are we'll educated and re-
fined, and many have seen more prosper
Gus days. A number are widows and
daughters of army and naval officers who
lost their Lives in the civil war. Very few
OF the young women or widows NARY or
resign, and consequently the hundreds Who
are constantly seeking places in Washing
ton have very slender prospect of success.
The most untiring, obstinate place-seskerp
