International Etiquette.

In view of the fact that sixty-fiye
Russian naval officers are reported
on their way TO the United States to
take charge of Russian ships pur-
chased in this country for use in the
Russian navy, the London Times re-
marks-'"This brings the Washing
ton government face to face with the
great question of international duty
toward the two great nations" 1t
seems to us however that this re.
mark is premature. We do not
know that this report is true and if
true we are not yet face to face with
contingency which may never hap
pen. There mas been no declaration
of war between Russia and England,
and We have no right to assume that
there viii be one. On the contrary
all the negotiations thus far have had
for their Ostensible object not war
but peace. There is nothing in the
situation at present to forbid neu-
tral nation from selling ships or
munitions of war to Russia or Eng
land or both.
There can be no doubt that the
damage inflicted on American COM
merce by the confederate cruiyers
which were fitted out on the Clyde,
has never been repaired. The Gene
va arbitration awarded as damages
the value of the ships and cargoes
actually destroyed, but this represen-
ted but small part Of the loss to
American commerce, a very small
fraction of our claim. The great
damage wis that the American COM
merce was almost driven from the
seas, or transferred to British ships,
and has never returned. Our mer-
chant marine has never recovered
from the Injuries inflicted by the
confederate cruisers fitted out at
English ports. There are doubtless
some people in this country who
would welcome war between Eng
land and Russia as an opportunity to
get even," to repair the losses of
that period. But for our part we
have no desire to make a profit out
Of the misfortunes of England or Rus
sia. Still there is no reason why we
should act now as though war We're
already declared. The principles
laid down in the Geneva arbitration
ought to be maintained but we do
not see that we are called on to ex-
tend them in favor of England, or to
do anything in the least unfriendly
toward Russia. BdLt0. Gazette.

Everybody sings "Hold the Fort"
but few know the origin Of the re-
markable song. The Chicago Inter-
Ocean gives the following: "There
was fort at Altoona, about eighteen
miles from kenesaW Mountain,
which was being badly pressed by
the Confederate forces. When Sher.
man reached KeneshaW, he signaled
to Altoona, which was commanded
by General COrse, Hold the fort, for
! am coming The message was seen
and read by the men at the fort, and
as a reply was necessary, Gen. COrse
ordered young officer standing near
tOsscnd the reply-'Wave the answer
back to Sherman that we hold the
fort 1t was easy to order, but while
the bullets were flying thick and fast
several members Of the sigma corps
declined to signal, until Gen. Corse
was impatient, when the young of
ticer referred to above grasped the
flag, mounted the dangerous post,
and waved the answer back to Sher-
mad That young man was James
W. Mckenzie, of Hampton, Iowa,
and the war records mention the
brave and cool act for which he was
promoted"

The Russian preparations for pri-
watering and letters of marque seem
to he taken in good earnest. The
american" steamers, bought in
Rome and sent through the Suez
canal towards the Persian Gulf were
of course not vessels having our
register, but Clyde built vessels pur-
chased by Americans for the Russian
service. Russia may be preparing to
commission thirty or forty such
steamers as letters of marque, and
British merchants know, by the his
tory Of the Alabama, the Sumter ana
the Shenandoah, how much damage
may be inflicted upon a country's
commerce by cruisers Of this discrip-
ton.

President HAYES Salary.

1t has been discovered that under
the rules of the Treasury Department
no more salary can be paid to Presi-
dent Hayes until Congress has taken
some action upon Mr.. Blair's resolu-
tions lately introduced in the House
and referred to the Judiciary Com
mlttee. A decision to this effect was
made some monthsago by the Fourth
Auditor in the case Of a naval officer
whose name had been restored to the
register by Secretary Thompson. The
question having been raised as to the
legality of the Secretary's actions
resolution was introduced in the Sem
ate and referred to th& Judiciary
Committee, asking for an inyestiga-
tiun. AS soon as this was done. the
paymaster Of the navy-yard applied
to the Fourth Auditor for instruc-
tions in regard to taking up the Off
GERS accounts and paying him his
current monthly pay. The Fourth
Auditor replied that, under the rules
of his office and Of the Treasury De-
partment, when any matter was
pending in Congress he was prohibit
ted from giving any instructions; and
the paymaster was notified that if he
paid the officer any money the
amount would be checked against
him in the settlement of hisaccounts.
1t is admitted that the same ruling
applies in the case of tie President,
and until some disposition has heen
made OF the Blair resolutions no
more money can be paid to Mr..
Hayes without a clear violation of
the established rules of the Depart
ment- Wash. RepubicMa.

IHE PHONOGRAPH AT THE CAP
ITOL.-A large company of ladies
and Senators gathered in the Senate
committee-room of patents Friday
morning to hear Edison, the inven-
tor, explain and illustrate the prin-
cipels of the phonograph. He went
through a number of illustrations,
and the phonograph mimicked
sounds with wonderful accuracy, not
only the singing and talking, but
even the whispering. He frequently
changed the tone of his voice very de-
cidely in one sentence, the phono-
graph repeating the precies changes
each time. Senator Ransom asked
the professor whether he could invent
machine that would automatically
pick cotton. He replied he believed
he could. He says he has 158 patents

The toughest hen story that has
yet appeared comes from California,
and the feat performed, as narrated
below by the Watsonville Pt4MOnidn
was probably aided by "the wonder
ful climate: - "A gentleman well
known in this section owns a lot of
hens. One of them a few weeks ago
commenced laying in the wood pile,
her nest being situated between Two
sticks of wood, placed far enough
apart so that as fast as an egg was
laid it would drop upon the ground,
at least two feet below. After lay
ing twelve or fifteen eggs, the hen
commenced setting on the hole be-
tween those sticks Of wood, the eggs
being on the ground below, two feet
distant. Three weeks passed by, and
eleven of those eggs hatched success
fully! Will some scientist explain
the phenomenon 2" Without pre-
tending to be scientific, we should
say at venture that the man lied.

How WHISKEY PAYs.--Some years
ago we had in our employ man
who several times in the day, ran out
of the office to buy drink of whis-
key. Every time he went out the
cashier was instructed to put ten cents
into a drawer to our credit. At the
end of seventeen months the man
who had gone out 50 often had drank
himself out of situation; and the
drawer, when opened, was found to
contain S409, which we loaned to a
young mechanic at ! per cent. in
terest. He used it to purchase a set
of timers tools. On the 18th of
February, 1876, he returned it to us
with interest, saying in his letter
that he has now Il wife, two children,
and property worth $1,000. The
other is a hummer hunting for food.
