Jss. Paul tSiinn.) Pioneer Press, November AMI
The House amendments to the bond bill
were promptly ecncurrcd In yesterday ny
the Senate, and II now only awaits the
ollicia, approval OF the Governor TO become
a law. II may easily be imagined Win
what supreme satisfaction he will attach MS
signature 10 measure which accompilshes
the chief object to which all his efforts
have been directed for the last six years,
and the achievement of which, over dill
entities which would have batiied less
skilful statesmanship and disheartened
a less pcrseyering earnestness, forms
the crowning glory OF his adminis'ra-
sio, The settlement, though
technically an honorable one, because pro-
noscd and accepted by the CHIEF bond
holders. Is not at all what it ought 10 De.
IN IL essentially q compromise between It.
cal right and popular prejudice. IL Is
based upon the assumption that the STATE
has equities sufficient to justify 1t In DC
Quoting 30 per cent. from the face OF its
obljvatious. But there Is no legal GROUND
or warrant for this assumption except that
II Is virtually conceded by the CHIEF bond
bolders. But IL Is useless now TO go into
these questions. Under the decision OF
the Supreme Court last winter the Legs
la,ure Is final authority TO decide what
the State owes or will pay, and TO pro
vide means for its payment. AS the settle
ment finally made is based OH proposition,
received from the chief bondholders ana
finally accepted by the holders OF the great
majority OF the bonds, IL Is not for us to
cr;ticise an adjustment which is satisfactory
TO the parties Immediately interested-so
far, at least, az II is satisfactory. II it Is
moi satisfactory to all of the bondholders,
there Is no law compelling them to accept
it. 1t is pretty certain that in addition TO
the owners OF the 1888 bonds deposited
with the State Auditor ana VINO nave
agreed 10 accept the adjustment, nearly all
The remainder will do so except some OF
those from whose bonds are deducted the
claims OF certain contractors and others
against the railroad companies to which
such bonds were originally issued.

A Mountain OfIrOu.

About mile north OF Durango Is a Won
derful mountain Of solid iron ore, called
the Ccrro del Mercado. The ore is said to
be entirely free from pEosplor and sui
phur, and to assay fr1ni so to rs per cent.
pure iron. That part OF the mountain
above the ground measures $3.50 feet long,
l,2OO feet broad, and 702 feet high. The
iron produced is so soft that it bends and
twists like wax, and wiz bear comparison
with the best Norway. An English engi-
neer has estimated It's value at $4,000, 0O0,-
900, and made the somewhat astonishing
calculation that. ut the rate Of 1000, 900 a
year, it would take over 500 years to level
the hill to the ground. The great Hum
boldt, who, by the way, never came
as far as Durango, was induced to believe
the deposit was an aGrolite, similar to that
Of Zacatecas, and reported it so, but was
very much mistaken, as further inyestiga-
ton proved. Frederick Weidner, an eminent
| German scientist, who carefully examined
the mountain during six months In 1851,
attributes, with right, IFS apparition TO q
tremendous volcanic eruption. 1t has been
ascertained that the same ore extends
under the plain Of Durango, where it in
terrupted the completion of an artesian
well at depth OF three hundred feet, a
mile and a half from the foot OF the Cerro.
( This is without doubt the most marvellous
/ iron deposit in the world. -ErchQRqe.

Tobacco ms a Mafcii-Mnker.

from the London Daily Telegraph
All the nervousness, embarrassment, and
febiile excitement attendant upon "pop-
ping the question" in highly civilized
countries is avoided by young men Of the
Tchulian Tartar variety DESTROYS to marry.
whose simple and discreet custom it is to
ascertain their chances of success or failure
in matrimonial enterprise by the following
proceeding: The Tchulian CGlebs in
search Of q wife, having filled n brand-new
pipe with fragrant tobacco, stcalthily en-
tiers the dwelling Of the fair one upon
whom he has bestowed his affections, de-
posts the pipe upon a conspicuous article
of furniture and retires on tiptoe TO some
convenient hiding place in the neighbor-
hood, local etiquette requiring that he
should execute this strategic movement
apparently undecided by the damsel Of his
choice or any member Of her family. Pre-
scntly he returns, without further aifecta-
ton Of secrecy, and looks into the apart
ment in a causual solt OF way. A single
glance at the pipe he lett behind him en-
ables him to learn the fate of his proposal.
Ii il has been smoked, he goes forth IN ac-
cepted an eXultant bridegroom; if not, the
offer Of his hand and heart has been ire
vOobly rejected, as not even worth a puff
of tobacco. BY this ingenious eXpedicnt
the pain and humiliation of verbal refusal
and fruitless pleadings are spared to luck
less wooers, and Tartar maidens are saved
i'm uncertainties Justly regarded as pc
culiarly Trying TO female scnsibility.

Tropical Vegetation of Hiio.
[san Francisco Bulletin.J

Tbeterrible devastation wrought in Homo
lulu two years ago by typhoid-feyer is
something that will not soon be forgotten,
and now that few cases have appeared,
much anxiety is expressed by nervous
people lest another epidemic lie at hand.
To foreigners the alarming peculiarly
of this disease Is that il lays hold OF them
while natives escape with comparative
immunity. Herein lies its difference
from smallpox, which carried off ma
tiycs exclusively. A significant fact Is
that those upon which the malady has
fallen are persons returned from Iiilo,
where several cases have proved fatal. 1t
seems that the lava-iiow is TO blame for the
diseases introduction. The luxuriance OF
tropic yerdure about lIilo has been fire.
Uucntly noted. Through and over this the
lava has crawled its burning way, consum-
ing much and killing by its heat what II
could not reach. Trees, shrubs, vines,
ferns, and grass shriyel, wither, and decay,
decomposition being accelerated by ire
Qucnt rains, always warm, and the ardent
rays Of the sun between showers. Then
there are the deadly sulphurous fumes
and rain turned into steam, rising from
vents in the lava-stream, which will not be
cold for year, perhaps. In this manner
the atmosphere is poisoned. Rain, charged
with vegetable decomposition and mineral
substances from the lava, percolates through
porous soil already surchargcd Herewith,
and finds its way to streams and wells from
which people drink and obtain what is
necessary for cooking. Thus the destroyer
makes triple attack. What sanitary
measures TO adopt under such circum-
stances is a problem Of momentOus inter-
est and importance to the people OF that
fair palm and vine-embowercd city. What
Honolulu will do remains to be seen.

THE EXPENSE OF DAYS SPORT ~ THE
WOODS OF NEW YORK.
fFrom the Kingston PREGNANT
Yesterday morning an uptown youth rig
ced himself up in the most approved
fashion for slaughtering game. He had Il
breech-loader Of the latest and most eX-
nensiye pattern, belt filed with ammuni-
ton. a royal gamc-bag, hunting-knife,
and bulldog revolver for close work.
He started with the expectation OF sweep
ing the country Of game, and his fellow
clerks, and the members OF the llrm by
whom he is employed, anticipated nothing
short of n small wagon-load OF woodcock,
cartridges, squirrels, quail, with perhaps 4
deer or bear thrown in.
lie travelled around four or five miles,
and then his dog became hungry ana
turned tail and went home. Back to town
came the hunter for the dog, and then,
with good long rope on him he started
again. lie tried EsOpus, the town OF
RosendaIe, took in q portion OF the town OF
New Paltz, tried little Of Marbletown,
swept portion Of Hurley, and finished
I'D with the towns OF Kingston and Ulster.
When he reached home the dog had been
pretty nearly denuded OF hair running
through the brier-busheS, and had big cash
in his neck caused by the many yanks that
had been gwen the rope in order to keep him
from flushing every chirping bird that
came under his observation.
The hunters trousers were i'll terrible
plight, his shoes completely ruined, his
hands scratched, most of his ammunition
lost, the cartridges having slid out OF his
holt while lie WAS oettinm over a fence.
aided by the dog pulling at the rope, and
his gun was in bad condition, the barrels
being partially filled with mud caused by
his using it to save himself from falling III
very muddy brook. lie had killed Just
one woodcock. Items Of expense: Shoe
leather, So; ammunition, 3; wear and tear
of pants, So horse hire, SO; damage to
gun, 81. Value of woodcock, fifty cents.
