It is understood that tomorrow, il the suit

Cameron's counsel, will attempt to intimidate some
of Mrs. divers witnesses DR.. D. W. Bliss, who is
one of Mrs. divers principal witnesses to-day

will not divulge any of the secrets between himself

two years ago he was called tossee Mrs. Oliver who
then resided Missouri avenue. and found her ill.,
The following day she moved to the fremont House.
On that day Mr.. A. G.. Riddle counsel at that time
for Mrs. Oliver called to him and made inquiry
to the nature of Mrs. divers sickness. The
Doctor declined to tell Shortly after this converse
tion Mr. Riddle left Mrs. Oliver and became Mr..
Cameron's attorney.
Il will not reveal anything" continued the Doc
tor "and I will positively refuse to say anything
regarding the case l. as physician cannot cx-
pose the character of the sickness of patient. and
Simon Cameron has not money enough to cause me
to do so The secrets between a patient and
physician are sacred It is true o
witness for Mrs. Oliver. but they will probably at

no business to know"

Roman Remains.

A number of workmen, says the In
Dependence Beige, are now employed in
making excavations on the site of a
Belgo-Roman settlement, situated be-
tween Bemelen and Heer, near Macs
tricht These iTlycgtiga tiVns are under
the direction of M. Habets, President of
the Observation-Disclosures Society for
the Duchy of Limburg, who is assisted
by NJ Thomassen, of Maestricht, and
have led to very interesting results.
Lmburg is richer in underground re-
mains dating from the times of the
ancient Romans than any other province
of the Netherlands. Vestiges of their
civil and military works are met with at
every step. At Meersen M. Habets ex-
posed to view in 1865 a villa of unusu
ally large dimensions and uncommonly
rich in antiquities. At Rabenbosh, near
Fauquemont the same sarant brought to
light the foundations of an entire Roman
colony comprising eighteen houses and
a small pagan temple. The Roman
villa at Backersboschdel, which is now
in course of excavation, surpasses in size
and splendor all that the psychologists
have hitherto found. As at Meersen,
baths and a magnificent cellar have
been laid open; but besides, there has
been found great quantity of wrought
and unwrought marble; as many as six
kinds have been counted. The rooms Of
this villa are finer and better preserved
than elsewhere. The pavement and the
wall plaster are for the most part IN stu.
In the mound the workmen have met
with an immense quantity of fragments
of tiles, broken pottery, bones, iron,
glasses, etc. Up to the present time
five coins have been found, one of which
dates from Domitian's reign, one from
Trajan's, and one from that of Septimus
Severus. The situation of the villa,
which leans against hill, whence the
view commands wide stretch of coun-
try round and the whole valley Of the
Meuse, is exceedingly picturesque. A
few minutes walk distant is a Roman
tamulus, which, unfortunately, is grad
ualIy being effaced by the plowshare.
1t is most likely at that spot that the
mausoleum of the family which owned
the villa now in course of exploration at
Backersboschdel should be looked for

The CULTS Three Stomachs.

The gull may be said to have three
stomachs. The first begins at the mouth,
or mandibles, extending to the entrance
at the breast, where the second, or
stomach proper, begins, and which ter
inmates in the third, or gizzard. The
entrance at the mouth is more than
twice the size of the entrance 10 the
other, so that fish or other object
too large to enter the second
stomach is safely swallowed and retained
in the first, either till reduced so as to
pass easily, or TO be vomited when re-
quired to feed young ones
Shellfish are retained in the stomach
until the fish is washed out of the shells,
which are then vomited. A small bird
is retained in the same way till only the
feathers and harder bones remain, and
these are thrown up in like manner.
And so with every other indigestible
substance taken along with food; it
never goes into the second stomach, ex-
cept grain. These, after time in the
first stomach, pass on through the second
to the gizzard, there to be pounded into
nourishment for the bird
The advantages of this remarkable
provision in the gull, says writer, are
no doubt many, but the following is in
structive and clear. / have seen a gull
come to her nest and vomit.a big fish for
her young gulls In less than minute
she swallowed the fish, flew to a project
ing crag in sight of her nest, and sat
down for half an hour, after which she
flew back an vomited the fish to her
hungry family. Now this strange pro-
ceeding was simply necessity. A fresh
fish will not pick easily off the bones,
and the beak of young gulls is soft
The fish in the case before us had been
too short time in the parents stomach
to be easily devoured by the young
gulls.
Besides, herring is the common fish
obtained, and herrings have more or less
oil about the skin and about the fins.
The oil is very hurtful for young birds
makes them sick and miserable; but a
short time in the first stomach of an old
gull extracts this oil, sending it on to
the second stomach to feed the parent,
while the fish is not only rendered more
wholesome for her family, but she can
afford to give them the whole of it, be-
ing herself sustained by the extract. In
feeding tame gulls ] had to eyoid her
ring, although knew it was much val
ued by parent guis; and failed, as at
last discovered, because | could not ex-
tract the sickening oil which spoiled the
fish.

A Pretty Window Transparency.

To make pretty window transparency,
one novel and inexpensive, follow these
directions: Take small, round, thin
wooden plate and scrape the center with
penknife SO that on holding it up to
the light, it seems almost transparent.
Then dash half across the inner part of
the plate coating of blue paints and in
the center draw ship with sails out
spread, which must be colored brown.
When held up to the light, it has the
appearance of ship on the ocean seen
in the twilight, for the light shining
through the centre which has been
scraped, locks the glimmer in the sky
from departed sun, and brings into
relief the vessels from. A hole is bored
on the edge above and blue ribbon
inserted, by which the plate may be sus-
pended over window, or elewhere, as
may seem convenient. Sometimes these
little plates are used as menu cards,
having the names of the guests inscribed
ON the upper portion. They are taken
away and suspended afterwards as
mementos of the occasion.

Heroes in Journalism.

Memphis presents fresh example of
the faithfulness of the journalist. The
city is literally dead, and there is posi-
lively nothing doing in the way of BUSH
ness, yet the papers appear as regularly
as ever, and it has, of course, never oc-
Cured to the editors to suspend publica-
ton, and, like the merchants of the
place, close their establishments. Ger
tainly they 60 on at loss, for all the
sources of their profits are shut The
newspaper is ever the last to succumb.
If its Office is burned down, it is cut next
morning with "a full account of the
confagration." The fires which destroyed
Chicago and Boston only scorched the
newspapers though the buildings were
laid low. The war record of the Mem
phis Audtdnche can not be forgotten
howit carried its presses from point to
point as the Union armies advanced, and
printed it's edition everywhere and any,
where, but always somewhere. The
religion of the journalist is mis- trade. To
MIN it is sin to fly from his desk at the
appearance of danger. Like the general
at the head of his army he would be for
ever disgraced in his own eyes if the
enemy, coming in what shape it might,
did not find him in command. The in
come of the Memphis editor stops, but
his expenses do not. He fights for
others and pays for the privilege. He
urges courage. He is so little frightened
by Yellow Jack that he takes him by the
buttonhole and laughs with him. He
tells his afflicted fellow citizens never. to
lose hope. He Sits out the truth from
the wild stories flying about and kills
despair by showing how things could be
a great deal worse than they are. He
points gleefully to the future, and
declares that Memphis must and will re-
cover the old-time prosperity. Imagine,
if you can, Memphis in its hour of its
sore trial without its press. Think of
the ravages of the dead visitor, I'M
recorded, with only the alarmed people
to tell one another who still lived; with
the whole world silent, with no word of
encouragement to reach the public ear.

Whisky Traffic In Alaska.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald accompanying the American
Arctic expedition of the Jennette, the
Herods enterprise, in a long letter re-
lates the following concerning the illicit
whisky traffic at Ounalaska, in Behring
Sea:
at is not generally known thatan enor-
nous but illegitimate business is being
carried on in these regions by dealers in
whisky. 1t is contrary to law to sell
whisky to the Alaskan or Aleutian In
dams, yet year after year vessels fitted
out as whalers to all appearance, but
which are in reality whisky ships, leave
San Francisco and Honolulu for the
Behring Strait settlements and exchange
the "rot gut, for furs, ivory and whale
bone. The Indians of these coasts, like
the red men elsewhere, will part with
anything for whisky. The only English
word most Of them know is "wheesky,"
which they sling at you the moment
their feet touch the ships deck They
beg for "wheesky" almost piteously. TAX
ing due advantage of this well known
thirst for the spirit of civilization ex-
hibited by the natives, the traders load
up their vessels with the cheapest and
worst kind of whisky and visit the little
settlements along the coast, where they
sow the seeds of murder, thievery and
all kinds of denominations among the
hapless natives The revenue cutter
Rush and several agentsof the Treasury,
including Mr. Smith, the collector afore-
said, unite their efforts to stop this
traffic. The suspected vessels are
searched, and those found engaged in
the whisky trade, seized according to law.
There is now in store here about sixteen
hundred gallons Of contraband spirit that
were recently captured up the coast. A
vessel was recently wrecked at Nounivak
VIGOROUSLY engaged in the whisky bus
mess. When she ran ashore it is re-
ported that her captain destroyed the
vile spirit as measure of safety, for if
the natives came down on the wreck and
found the, to them, precious liquor, q
grand national drunk would be organized
forthwith, which might wind up with
the massacre of the wrecked crew by the
frenzied savages. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that the services of competent
officer to control the trade of these is
lands and coasts, as well as to stop illegit-
innate trade in whisky, are much needed.

A Viyidly Descriptive Passport.

In 1893 a worthy Partisan bourgeois,
after dining at restaurant, set out for
a walk to Montmartre. No one was then
allowed to leave the city without pre-.
senting his carte de surete, on which his
personal appearance was described, as in
a modern passport, a regulation of which
the worthy bourgeois was unaware; SO
when at the barriers the guard asked
him for his carte, though surprised at the
nature of his request, he, like docile
Partisan, pulled out the carte of his din
ner. "Calf's head" said the official,
reading and glancing at the bearer;
"well-that's accurate enough, but not
especially polite. Pigs feet'-the citi-
zen who drew up the passport was
drunk! Breast of veal-stuffed
bet ream of assignals he was. Leg
of mutton'-citizen pass onl l don't
precisely understand this passport, but

The Romans thought the killing of a
father so dreadfully impossible a crime
that they had no name for it. In this
country it is apparently becoming so
common that it hardly needs to be dis
tinguished from other kinds of murder.
The case of Gum, in Massach usetts, is
followed by that of Noller, near Cleve-
land. In both these cases the parricide
was prompted by avarice-an inordinate
desire to possess the property of the
father. A third instance happened also
in Ohio, near Delaware. Smith Harriet
is accused of shooting his father by
reason of some family trouble When
to these crimes are added that of Fitch,
in Michigan, who killed his little
daughter, and of the Illinois farmer,
the same week, who also shot his child,
the record of unnatural crimes is be-
coming grave enough for season.

On the great mail routes in England
the railroad trains are run very rapidly,
and they take in and throw out the
letter-bags without stopping as they fly
along at the rate of fifty miles an hour
They pause only at the principal towns
upon their way. Anywhere within the
three kingdoms letter of one ounce
weight goes for penny, and the terms
are very cheap for other mailable
matter. The penny rate includes the
entire cost OF service in The Transports
ton and delivery, not only in the large
towns, as in the country, but also in
the smaller towns and villages, and
rural districts. There is no cottage so
remote or so retired that the letter-car-
rier does not reach it. Ae-

WE are actually ashamed of the
Rural Neae- Yorker. Think of paper as
old as it perpetrating the Pinafore joke
on its farm readers We extract the
following: The French are, almost pro-
verbally, poor colonists. In new
settlement they perform all the early
duties of colonist excellently, and con-
ciliate the natives better perhaps than
the people of any other nationality, but
their colonies do not increase. The fact
is that the French inhabitant of a city
seldom emigrates, and the French
peasant or farmer, never-well, hardly
ever. 1t is trife strange therefore to
hear that a body of two hundred and
ffty-nine small farmers are now on the
way to settle in this country. Well,
French farmers are the thriftiest in IL e
world; and may in this respect teach
most of our farmers useful lesson.

THOUGH the United States are pre-.
eminently characterized by their num-
berless companies and organizations of
all kinds, Europe is ahead this time.
Denmark has an insurance company
against damage to crops by hailstorms.
Hailstorms are quite frequent in the
spring of the year in the counties
around the Baltic, though it is only oc-
casionally that the hailstorms are large
enough to do severe harm. The com
pany is said to be literally patronized
by the farmers.
