names with positions in President Arhnr's Cabinet,
aud it is currently reported that both of these
gentlemen have come to Washington TO consult

will certainly call to pay his respects to President
Arthur the object of his visit To Washington is to

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.l
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--The case Of +. p. Lilley,
late Deputy Auditor OF the Treasury for the Post
Office Department, adjourned from yesterday, was
called up this afternoon by Commissioner Bundy.
Two post-offce clerks were examined and testified
to the authenticity of the papers presented yeser-
day. Mr.. Cook then presented the statement of
z. ii. Woodward, embodying the information he
received from Brott and ON which he swore out the
warrant for Lilleys arrest. Mr.. TOtten objected
TO the admission of Woodwarl's statement. After
some discussion Commissioner Bnndy ruled out the
statement Mr. Totten asked for the discharge Of
Mr.. LIey, and the Commissioner granted the ap-
plication and Mr. Lilley discharged.
The weakness of the prosecution in this case Is
due 10 an inexcusable bunder on the part of some
one. Colonel Bliss says: |" Had my instructions
been carried out the result would have been very
different ordered the arrest of Mr.. Brott, whose
absence at the hearing lost us the case. kBrott
arrived in town Thursday morning and was run out
of town Saturday morning, it having leaked ont
that we intended to have him appear in court.
Certain persons arranged with him Friday night
to leave town. Had he been arrested as desired.
our evidence would have been sufficient" Who it
was that gave tho information TO the Star Route
men Colonel Bliss could not state. 1t must have
come, however. from someone IN the confidence of
the prosecution.

Ostrich Farming.

The Arisond Citizen thinks that
ostriches could be reared with great
case and profit in that Territory, There
is no place, it says, better adapted for
ostrich farming than the Lower Gila
west of Tucson and along the Colorado
river. This country is dry, hot, and
otherwise fitted for ostriches, drome-
daries, Bedouins, cassowaries and the
other products of Sahara and Arabia
the Blessed. Ostriches have been
natualized in South Africa in regions
similar to Arizona, and enormous profits
are annually made from this source.
There are several thousand ostrich farms
there and over 100000 birds. The
would-be ostrich farmer incloses q large
tract of land, the same as our large
cattle men do in the Western States,
with q three-board fence. This they
were compelled to do, as the ostrich is
very fleet bird, and cannot be con
trolled by herders as cattle and sheep.
Many of the men who engaged in the
business in South Africa have amassed
fortunes in few years. They produce
five broods Of about twenty chicks at q
brood in year. The young ones may
be plucked when eight months old; the
first plucking is worth S5 per bird. At
sixteen months old they may be plucked
again; this and all subsequent pluckings
are worth $25 per head, and they may
be plucked every eight months. They
commence breeding at four years old.
Full-grown ostriches are worth from
$500 to $500 per pair in South Africa.
The last, best fruit, which comes late
to perfection, even in bekindliest soul,
is tenderness toward the hard, forbear.
anco toward the uniorbearing, warmth
Of heart toward tho misapthropic.

Nltlated Air nnd Intcmnerance.

A workingman writes to the Chr'iStd
Register concerning the connection of
bad air and intemperance. He says that
working in large room in shoe fac
tory, with from fifty to hundred others,
the fumes of tobacco mingling with the
sickening smell of leather, he found it
useless to try to ventilate the room by
the windows. Every morning he low
cred them an inch, but in half an hour
all would be closed. The door had a
spring which prevented its being left
open minute, and there was no way Of
securing fresh air. When he left his
work at night he felt so faint and lifeless
that he longed for stimulant. Many
of the men went at once to the nearest
saloon when the days work was ended.
The men think it is hard work that makes
them feel so tired, but in reality it
is the breathing and rebreathing, hour
after hour, OF air which has been de-
priv6d of It's oxygen and is loaded with
poison. Of course, ill-health is general
among the workmen and it is not strange
that the fifty drink-shops in the town
are well supported. 1t is much to be
wished that employers understood the
importance Of securing an abundant
supply Of pure air in their shops and
factories. To do 50 would serve their
interests, as the workmen would per-
form their tasks with more vigor and
speed There would also be less time
lost from drunkenness. Smoking in the
workroom should be prohibited. Noin
telligent person will deny that tobacco
smoke in an unyentilated room is nof
only sickoning to many persons but
dangerous to all.

Earthquakes.

The most notable and disastrous earth.
quakes on record, it may be said, are
those of Italy (526), when 100000
persons persisted, and of Sicily 1888,
when GO, 900 lost their lives. According
to Gibbon, toward 542 each year was
marked with the repetition of earth
quakes of such duration that CONSTANT
nople was shaken above forty days-of
such extent that the shock was COM
municated to the whole surface of the
empire. At Antioch quarter of a
million persons are said to have perished.
This period of earthquake and plague
(542-7) was the period when the
superior planets were in perihelion, as
they are now. Arabian and Persian
chronicles record Ill earthquakes be-
tween the seventh and eighteenth
centuries, some lasting from forty to
seventy days, and nearly all accompanied
fy winds or floods, or terrible storms OF
lightning and thunder. Readers OF the
Relations des Jesuites will remem-
Der the great earthquakes of1663, which
shook and tossed the earth for six
months from Gaspe to Montreal, the
rival of our own earthquake of 1911 in
the Mississippi valley. The seyerest of
the earthquakes felt in this region was
that of November, 1855, an echo of the
convulsion that tumbled down Lisbon
and saved the Pompay ministry,
through the fact that the minister's
house was almost the only one left un-
injured and his family one of the few
Aot bereaved of a member Helm, in his
interesting work on earthquakes, esti =
mates that on an average two earth
quakes day occur on the earth. In
1870 though there was no severe single
shock, 1925 houses were destroyed or
greatly damaged in Italy, ninety-eight
persons killed and 223 wounded. The
same shock may last for years; instance
that of Viege, in the Valais, which en-
dured from July, 1856, to 1857. At
Cabul thirty-three severe shocks have
been felt in one day; at Honduras, in
1856, 10S were counted in week, and
at Hawaii, in 1868, 1000 shocks occurred
in one month. Helm, it may be said in
conclusion, opposes the theory of q
connection between earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions and considers that of
their coincidence with atmospheric
phenomena as better supported by facts;
for they are occasionally preceded or
accompanied by thick and widespread
fogs at seasons when fogs are not fire.
quent, by sudden falls of the barometer
and equally sudden changes Of tempera-
ture. Their occurrence, however, in the
majority of cases comedies with normal
meteorological conditions. Earthquakes
are more frequent after sunset than in
DAYTIME, in autumn and winter than in
spring. The influence of the moon is
insignificant.

thought Coleridge serious in his strange
saying that the shoemaker's bench had
produced more eminent men than any
other handicraft The Shoe and Leather
Reporter has, however, compiled bill
of particulars" in the shape of a list Of
famous cobblers, which seems to act as
an effectual estoppel on all jealous
craftsmen. Hans Christian Andersen,
who needs no introduction, may head
the list, and Hans Sachs, of Nuremberg,
who though he made shoes all his life,
yet made 5000 poems, plays, farces and
rhyming fables, may be put next. Sir
Cloudesly Shovel was a shoemaker until
he enlisted in the navy, and so was Sir
Christopher Minns, another English
admiral. John Hewson, one of Crom-
wells colonels, and signer of Charles
Is death warrant; Samuel Bradburn,
the Demosthenes of Methodism," as
well as bishop; James Lackington,
whose catalogue of publications reached
the total-enormous for that time
of thirty-seven volumes in 17S7-all
these were cobblers at first, if not at the
last Continuing the English list, Viii
liam Clifford, whose memory is pre-
served by complimentary allusion in
Byron's "English Bards and Scotch
Reviewers" and whose body is
buried in Westminster Abbey;
George Fox, the arch-Quaker; William
Gary, a missionary famous century
ago, and who read the proofs of the
Bible in twenty-seven Oriental Ian
guages; Samuel Drew, "the Locke of
the nineteenth century," whose expert
ence as an author led him to formulate
the sad truth that "the man who makes
shoes is sure of his wages, but the man
who makes books is never sure of any
thing" Thomas Holcroft, whose name
is not nearly so well known as that of
single one of his plays, "The Road to
RUM" the Bloomfield brothers, whom
Byron thus apostrophized:
"Ye tuneful cobblers, still your notes prolong,
Compose at once a slipper and song;"
John Pounds, whom school children
cried at being turned away from-all
these and lesser lights too numerous to
mention were English she makers.
Coming to our own country, Roger
Sherman, one of the "signers," leads
the list in time, but Vice-President
Henry Wilson in rank. Besides these
we're Congressman Shelly and Noah
Worcester, founder of the Massachusetts,
Peace society. And ex-Governors H.
P. Baldwin, of Michigan, and William
Clahin, of Massachusetts,, if they never
made shoes, at least dealt in them
largely enough to be named here. Alto
gether the list is sufficiently imposing
and convincing to justify verdict in
favor of Coleridge's saying.
