VIENNA, Dec. 20-The late arrests took
at st Petersburg took place in the hope that
the person who lost the detailed plan of the
castle of Gotschina, which the police picked
up in the picture gallery, might be found.
Red marks on the plan seemed to indicate
where dynamite might be placed.
MADRID, Dec. 20.-Hamlin, the new United
States minister, presented his credentials to
King Alfonso to-day. Hamlin said he was
charged with the pleasant duty Of assuring
his majesty Of abiding friendship of the presi-
dent and people Of the United States. Fair

leave tonight for Paris.

PANAMA. Dec. 10.-A Lima correspondent,
under date OF November 16, says the rumors
as to the visit OF the Alaska, which were rife
last week, but which no one credited, proved
to be founded on fact. She called at Molenda
and landed the brother of Garcia Calderon,
who is said to have been the bearer of funds
and instructions for the lenders of the
revolution against Pierola There seems to be
truth in this statement, since directly after his
arrival at that city troops were marched in the
direction of Ayacacho, the headquarters of
Pierola, and his friends, and at present the
capital of Peru, In the eyes of his followers
and all European diplomats, who have never
failed to recognize him as the head of the
republic. What the people Of the United
States will say when then they learn
that one of their war vessels has been used to
assist party in cruel strife can readily be
imagined. The superior officers of the feet
are not at al satisfed at this duty given the
Alaska by Minister Hurlburt Had it not
been for their remonstrances the act would
have borne yet more serious character.

Upon the adjournment Of the city council
last evening, City Attorney Murray invited
the aldermen to step down and take look
into and sniff OF the manifold scents Of the
bull pen, termed lookup. Only few Of the
aldermen accepted the invitation, evidently be-
ing familiar with the treat IN store for them
should they do so. The few who did accept
took one look inside, drew in one good, long
breath Of the foul atmosphere, and inconti-
nently broke for out doors and the fresh air.
The board of health should condemn the vile
hole as nuisance.

Yesterday morning the wife of young
man named Gray called at the police head
quarters and stated that her husband was ad-
dicted to the festive game of faro and that he
had lost large money at Chinn's gambling
house, the sum of $50 having gone where the
woodbine twineth within the past week. She
wanted redress and the money back: Gray
was summoned to the city hall, and so were
several of the gamblers. The latter claimed
that Gray had been an old rounder for years,
and that he rarely quit the game loser. The
first part Of this assertion was orroborated
by the police, who state that Gray has fol-
lowed the business OF gambling for years.
Chief Weber Investigated the case, and it was
brought before Mayor Rice, the conclusion
being that Gray was an adept at ambling de-
vices himself, and could not be taken in un-
awares. 1t seems that Gray had lost some of
his wife's money, which caused the kick.
Young men of this calibre should let games
of hazard alone.

and anti-slavery agitator, Thad Stevens.
One day the old man was practicing in
the Carlisle courts, and he didn't like the
ruling of the presiding judge. A second
time the judge ruled against "Old Thad, !"
when the old man got up with scarlet
face and quiverlng lips and commenced
tying up his papers as if to quit the court
room.

the judge, eying 'Old Thad'' indignant.

FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.
Ex Congressman Reeves, of Green
point L. l., is collector of very large
and very small hens eggs. The largest
he has was laid by cross-breed Brahma
and is s 5-S by 1-2 inches around,
weighing six ounces. W. Fl. Southland,
living in Rockville Center, exhibits a
hens egg measuring five by 12 IL
incl tes. Mr.. Reeves has one only 2 IL
by Z IA inches. Mrs. L. W. Hudson,
of Mattituck has dozen, eggs laid by
ono hen in as many days, which weigh
together only one ounce.
The tree which bears the Brazil nut
is one of the finest in the South Ameri-
can forests. It.often rises fifty feet or
more above the tops Of the tree around.
Gathering the yearly crop is an import
ant business to the natives, and occu-
pies several weeks. The reason of this
is, that the nuts cannot be picked, or
at least If they are they will not keep,
SO the gatherers must wait till they are
ripe, when they fall to the ground.
They grow sixteen or eighteen in sort
of box, which is round and hard, and
as large as acocoanut. When these great
objects fall, they come with great
force, and often bury themselves six
inches deep in the ground. OF course
there is great danger of being hurt by
them, for the ones that fall must be
picked up at once. When the wind
blows and many nut cases are falling,
the people stay in the huts they have
built there, which have very sloping
roofs SO that the nuts will glance off.
They spend this time in breaking the
cases and spreading the nuts to-dry in
the sun. The fresh nuts are said to he

Official Oaths.
A comparison OF the official oaths of
several csdntries, apropos of the Brad
laugh affair, says New York paper, is
not uninteresting. France demands no
oath, nor even any equivalent formality,
before her Legislators enter upon their
duties. Even uEder the empire the
deity was not called upon, the simple
formula being, ~ swear fidelity to the
emperor and the constitution"
In Austria, also, there is no oath, but,
in reply to question from the presi-
dent of The Ieichsrath, whether the new
member promises loyalty and obedi-
ence to the emperor, inviolable obser-
vance of the constitution, as well as of
all other laws, and conscientious fulfill
ment of his duty" the new member sim
ply replies, "Ipromise."
The reason that members of the Ger
man parliament take no oath is that
many of them are under an oath of alle-
glance to their respective states in the
German federation, and so conflict OF
duty might arise if two oaths were in
sisted upon. The Prussian member of
parliament takes an oath beginning, "I
swear by God, the omnipotent and om-
niscient," and ending $50 may God help
me-" As if this were not enough, those
who choose, it is provided, may add
Through Jesus Christ to eternal bliss,

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Prof. Bouchardat attributes to the
vine powerful sanitary properties. He
asserts that wherever it Is cultivated to
any considerable extent there is very
sensible diminutiOn of intermittents.
The virtue is attributed to the action of
the vine on the etlluvia which cause
fevers.
In paper by NJ Muntz on the con-
servation of grain in reservoirs, read be-
fore the French Academy of Science, it
is stated that to secure all the advan-
tages of such means of storage the grain
should be comparatively dry, the closure
perfect, the temperature OF the walls
pretty constant.
"A simple hygrometer can be made
by piece of catgut and straw. The
catgut, twisted, is put through hole in
q dial. in which straw is also placed.
In dry weather, the catgut curls up; in
damp, it relaxes; and SO the straw is
turned either to the one side or the other.
Straws do not only "show which way
the wind blows,' you see.
