Incredible InhumanitY.

A short time ago young Italian
named Montinari tried to cross the
Adriatic in skiff. A storm came up
and for nearly forty-eight hours he
struggled against winds and waves
and contlived to keep his tiny craft
afoat, although he lost an oar early in
his involuntary cruise and sustained
severe hurts upon his head, right foot,
chest and hands. Toward sunset Of the
second day, when he had given up all
hope of human aid, he espied afar off
the smoke arising from steamers fun
mel. By almost superhuman effort he
succeeded in approaching the steamer
within hailing distance and piteously
implored the captain to take him on
board. The latter, addressing him in
French, asked him sshow much he would
give to be saved" to which barharous
question Montinari replied:
"a Thousand francs"
s'That is toe little,' reioined his in
human interlocutor and the steamer
proceeded on her way
Eleven hours later he was rescued b5
tho Russian bark Jenny"

Plants without Earth.

Mr.. Alfred Dumesnil, son-in-Iaw Of
Jules Michelet, claims to have made an
interesting and useful discovery-how
to preserve plants in perfectly vigor-
GUS state without any earth. With the
shelter of glass, hellebores taken mp at
the end of November and the middle of
December have remained from two and
half to three months in blossom.
Other plants-primroses, daisies, vio-
lets, auriculas, etc.-have not only been
in bloom three months, but have thrown
out new buds Bulbous roots, small
shrubs, exotic plants-such as azaleas
and cyclamens-take equally well to the
process. M. Dumesnil exhibited some
specimens of plants blooming without
earth in Rouen, last December and at
his home, about fourteen miles from that
city, any one may see the results he has
obtained.

VOLUME III.
The Meeting Of the Ships.


Two barks met on the deep mid-sea,
When calms had still'd the tide;
few bright days Of summer glee
There found them side by side
And voice of the fair and brave
Rose mingling thence in mirth;
And sweetly ioated Ger the wave
The melodies of earth.
Moonlight on that lone Indian main
Cloudless and lovely slept;
While dancing step and festive strain
Each deck in triumph swept.
And hands were link'd, and answering eyes
With kindly meaning shone
Oh brief and passing sympathies,
Like leaves together blown!
A little while such joy was cast
Over the deep's repose,
iii the loud singing winds at last
Like trumpet-music rose.
And proudly, freely on their way
The parting vessels bore;
In calm Or storm, by rock or bay,
To meet-oh, never more
Never to blend in victory's cheer,
To aid in hours of woe;
And thus bright spirits mingle here,
Such ties are form'd below

FOR THE LADIES.
Mexican society.

There exists no other society on the
planet, not even India, where there is
more distinction of caste and class than
is found in Mexico. On the gulf coast,
by consequence Of unfortunate amalga-
nation Of the white and the Indian and
Chinese and the black races, there are
said to exist at least dozen separate
classes of humanity, of different color,
or, at least, of different characteristics.
In the capital such is not the case.
There are Castilians and creoles, or chill
dren of Indian mothers and Spanish
fathers and full-blooded Indians. The
creoles are noted for their intelligence,
their symmetry of form and feature and
their personal courage. Their COM
plexion may be said to resemble that OF
the far-famed caballeros of Andalusia.
The males are tall and shapely, while
the ladies are generally very beautiful,
are well formed, possess delicately
moulded hands and feet, and the most
beautiful eyes of any of the human
family. The bellies Of the south Of
France, of the mountains and plains OF
Spain, of the Sierras and coasts of Por-
tugal and the famous cities of Italy,
must yield to their charming sisters Of
the Latin republics in the beauty, shape,
size and expression of the eyes. They
are SO exceedingly expressive, a glance
from between their low fringes seems
to melt into the very soul.
The Mexican ladies are exemplary
wives and fond and loving mothers.
Their home to them is their entire
world their husbands the idols of their
hearts, while their children are the an
gels which make their home their
heaven. Yet, strange to say, there is no
word in the Spanish language that can
express the idea conveyed in our dear
old hearty Anglo-Saxon word "home. .
The nearest approach to it is found in
hogan, which may be translated "hearth-
stone' or simply 'hearth." Yet, not
withstanding this, the ties Of family are
more binding in Mexican society than
among any other race under heaven.
The repentant outcast knows that he OF
she can always return to the friendly
shelter of the family roof. While the
prodigal son invariably finds the arms
of the indulgent and forgiving parents
open to receive him, for among the
Spanish creoles 'fblood is thicker than
water" and tears which stream from a
mothers eyes have often wiped away
the stains of erring daughters sin. In
Latin countries one false step is not SO
oft IN followed by parents curse, mol
the door shut to the return of one who
has in the senseless parlance of society
irretrievably fallen.-Ne,c Orleans Dem

THE STAR-RoUTE JURIES.
Names of Grand and Petit Jurors for the
Coming Term of the Criminal Court.

The grand and petit Jurors for the June term the
Criminal Court, which will be convened by Judge
Cox the 10Th instant were drawn to-day in the Of
flee of the clerk of the court 1t is than probable
that the starroute investigation will be before the
grand jury and if indictments are found the cases will
be before the petit jurors of this term which may be
protracted till December next.
We clip the above from the Erel,ing Star in order
to preserve its headline, The Star Route Juries"
The point to which we wish to call the attention
of the public is the headline, THE Star Route
Juries,' which forms the caption of the jurylist.
This designation, in view of recent newspaper ut
terances sent forth from the Star Chamber Room
No 80, Post Office Department, would seem to in
dictate that the above list of grand jurors had been
manipulated in the interest of the detectives, in
formers, and spies who sit in secret council to
organize indictments against good men, whom
in the malignity of their hatred, they seek
to defame by Star Chamber proceedings.
We denounce the above intimatiOn as vile SLAM
der upon the character of the men drawn yester-
day in a regular manner from the jury-box. To
thus insinuate by covert innuendo that the names
drawn reflect the wishes of the detectives inform
ers and spies who manipulate the Star Chamber is
q base attack upon the integrity, independence,
and Judgment of the jurors named. The jury was
drawn for the purpose of exercising their legal
functions without regard to the route SANDERS
made notorious through the morbid press by sean
dial furnished by Detectives Gibson & Co. any more
than any other matters properly brought to their
attention, and the jury was not drawn to find in
dictments against any one, except upon full and
sufficient testimony, the yelping of snaring ours,
detectives, spies, and informers to the contrary

SANITARY SUGGESTIONS.
Plumbers in Consultation with the
Health officer.

In compliance with the request of
Health Officer Townsend, large number of those
engaged in the plumbing business in this city,
comprising all of the prominent plumbers, met at
the Health Office last evening for the purpose of
giving the Health Officer the benefit of their views
i'll regard to the regulations prepared in accord
ance with the act of Congress TO regulate plumb
ing, house drainage, and the ventilation of house
sewers. In calling the meeting to order DR.. Town
send said:
As we are among the pioneers in this sort of work
in this country and, indeed. very little has been
done in the same direction anywhere, we nave not
the experience of others TO guide and consequently
must rely 10 great extent, upon the practical ex-
perience of practical in getting insight into
what may be required to secure the proper perform
of such work. 1t is the earnest desire of the
Health Officer 10 do nothing which will work unnec
essary hardship to the plumbers and to leave nothing
undOne which Will tend to promote the health and
protect the lives of the people of this District.
The rules will be read, and he hoped all would
freely express their opinion. The chief clerk MIR.
Cooper McGinn, then began the reading by sec
tons. Each section gave rise to considerable dis
cuSsiOn, and in order that the suggestions made
could be incorporated into the rules committee
consisting of MeSsrs Raglan, Hannah, Ridgeway,
Mitchell, Caverly, Campbell, and Noonan were ap-
pointed to consider the entire set of regulations,
and in addition to make any suggestions bene-
fetal to the plumbing business and the health of
the city.

Judge Tarbell, Acting First Comptroller
of the Treasury, has rendered decision upon the
manner of paying District of Columbia judgments
on three-sixty- five bonds of the District and to
which appropriation they are to be credited. He
says under the act of June It, 1880, both principal
and interest of these judgments may be paid in
three-sixty-fve bonds Or under amended act of
March s. 1881, from the proceeds of sales of three
sixty-fve bonds but section of the act of June
H. 1875 20 Statutes 1851 provides that thereafter the
Secretary of the Treasury shall pay the
interest ON the three-sixty-fve bonds of
the District of Columbia, issued in pur-
suance of the act of Congress, approved June
20, 1874, when the same shall become due and
payable, and all amounts SO paid shall be credited
as part of the appropriation for the year toward
the expenses of the District of Columbia. would
therefore recommend that an indefinite appTOpriC-
ton under this act as an appropriation
for the expenses of the District of Columbia

appropriation of So 42 So by the act of June l.
$780, and deficiencies made for the expenses of the

Sovereign Cooperative Association and
SovereIgns of Industry.

In relation to the article which ap-
peared in THE REPUBLICAN relative to the en-
barrassments of the Sovereigns' Cooperative AS
soclatlon," on Seventh street. it is perhaps neces-
sary to state that neither that corporation nor the
" Rochdale Cooperative Society" whose store on
Eleventh street he's recently been closed, had any
connection whatever with the order of the &" Sow
ereigns of Industry" at large or in the District.
They were both offshoots from the parent stem,
and have, since seyering themselves therefrom,
padded their own canoes" In the meanwhile
the old original order of " Sovereigns of Industry
still holds on; and recently, through the delin-
quency of the officers of the National Council,
heretofore located in the New England States, the
headquarters of the order, under a thorough re-
organization, discarded all the secret work, have
been established and now located in this city.
Of the several councils of the order, is located
at Laurel, one in Georgetown, and the others in
Washington, and meetings are held regularly at
Mount'Vernon Hall twice month. The order
has no pecuniary interest in any store whatever
1t now appears that Mr.. Schofield did not de-
camp with all the available funds, but with all he
could get without exciting suspicion-probably
about $500. The deficit of about $500 at the last
semi-annual settlement in the cash balance was
real, and not apparent" which Mr.. Schotield was
required to make good He was not reelected a
trustee, but was reappointed storekeeper. He did
not take the money that was in the safe, be-
cause he could not get it. The loss to the associa-
ton is not yet fully aScertained, but it will be
more than covered by the amount of Mr.. Scho-
fields bond. Those who know most concerning
the affairs of the association have little fear that
its standing viii be seriously injured by the dis
honesty Of its late manager. 1t is fully expected
that ali the debts of the association will be paid at
an early date, and that the business will continue
uninterrupted. ]. w. Griffin, president of the
board of trustees, now in California, has telo-
graphed that he will return about the 18th instant
1t will be closed on Friday afternoon only while
taking an inventory of stock but afterward will

sarhaeistica, ON yoaou,n MILLER

This Office has received Millers new
book, The Shadows of Shasta" 1t glorifes the
lousy, thieying, and revengeful savage. Miller
affects to be sort of worshiper of the night
prowling, vermin- ridden, two-faced Indian, who
sweats in his greasy rags aud wallows in filth the
year round This sort of trash popular in the East
and Miller makes money by writing it. Whenever
he attempts poetical flight he winds up with a
thud, and the eagle becomes a grounding His
climaxes all work backward. Did not the author
wear his hair down over his shoulders and keep
his finger nails dirty he would never pass for
genius. Such book as his last is worthless from
literary standpoint, and gives the uninitiated
reader false ideas upon the Indian question which
just now is of national Experimentation (Neu)
