PetriffeA Buffalo.

Ferdinand Grieve thinks he has un-
earthed petriiod buffsio in the river
bottom south of the city. The reporters
made an attempt to seei. yesterday, but
did not succeed. There are hundreds of
petrified corals in the shape of elongated
and slightly curved cones along the river
that are known to those not versed in
geology as calf's horns and buffalo horns.
Mr.. Grieve has probably found two of
these, and is looking for the remainder of
the buffalo. If SO, he has come about as
near finding buffalo as d man has to
finding suit of clothes who picks up a
button on the street

LONDON, April 25.-A correspondent
at Constsntinople says, the Porte's reply
to the n,yte of the Powers will probably
reflect more or less clearly the unsatisfac-
tory feeling produced by the Greek note
The chief aim of the Porte in sacrificing
its territory is not merely to avoid war
ut the present. but to establish permanent
friendly relations with Athens, and per-
manent tranquility in the Greek provin-
ces in Turkey As the Greek note offers
little prospect of this being realized,
some guarantee will be asked for the fu-
ture. as compensation for the proposed
sacrifice.

The Star Route Investigation.
Washington Special

All interested directly or indirectly in
the Star Route scandal seem to be organ
izing to bring pressure to bear upon the
President to either stop the pending in
vestigstion, or to push it with the least
amount of vigor allowable in view of
the prominence which the subject has
reached before the public. All the infiu-
ences which a great ring knows SO we'll
how to use in Washington seem to be
rallied as part of the force to operate
upon the President and other members
of the administration. Thus far their
efforts are reported to have met with no
shsdow of success. and the understand
ing is that the investigation of the mat
ter will be carried forward with great
vigor, and that every person found con-
nected with it, high or low, will be pun
ished to the extent of the law

Smoking In Cuba.
G. A. Dana's Letter in New York Sun.

There is great deal of rum drinking
among the people. Gin is the favorite
liquor, and large quantities of it are sold,
but did not see anywhere a drunken
man. Smoking is as universal and con
slant as breathing, but I saw no ladies
smoking, though no one refralns from
smoking because they are present. Ci-
gsrettes are more frequently used
thsn cigars No apology is re-
quired for introducing them, and no
one asks his visitor or companion to
join him in smoking because he assumes
that the visitor has his own tobacco in
his pocket, and would light his cigarette
if he wished TO do SO. The only places
where one can't smoke are the churches
and the thesters At the opera l saw q
man who had begun to smoke in the
parquette, compelled him to quit the in
diligence; but at the same time cloud
of smoke blown from one of the private
boxes back of the proscenium excited
no attention whatever. In the railroad
cars everybody smokes without restraint,
and special Car for the purpose would
be ridiculous.

fGallinOlis JOurnal 1

Lam am 16a 3Se Of you
matter who is elected.~JoHn ". Book1Dter '''Se
Democratic papers parade this ex-
tract as something wonderful. They
seem to consider it an act Of great
condescension to declare, .'you can
vote for whom you please" 1t is the
sentiment Of the aristocrat. The
plain inference is that Bookwalter
felt himself above and greater than
his workmen-that he felt he had
control of their minds as well as their
hands-but for once he would be
magnanimous, and extend to them
the right to vote as they pleased.
Else why say it. Suppose the ''men" "
had said: ''Mr. Bookwalter, you can
vote for whom you please" :" We ap-
prehend Mr.. Bookwalter would have
felt insulted at such a remark, coming
from any one And we imagine that
is the way the men" received Mr..
Bookwalter's suggestion. you can
vote for whom you please" Of course
they could. That is right every
American voter has, by virtue Of a
higher power than Mr.. Bookwalter,
and when he assumed the authority to
say to his men, ''you can vote for
whom you please" he puts on the air
and tone of monarch, and insults the
manhood of every free American citi-
zen. In this "land of the Free" no
one is required to ask Mr.. BookwaIter
how he may vote. Every working
man is Mr.. Bookwalter's equal in po-
litical privileges, and has the same
right to vote for his choice that Mr..
BOokwalter has.

To the Ohio Anti-Liquor Alliance ESQ called):
[ have your circular Of the 10th Of
August asking for funds with which
to carry forward your campaign work
in the State. [ must respectfully, as
a temperance man, decline to comply.
You have seen fit to nominate a State
ticket whose only effect, if successful,
can be, as | see it, to elevate and place
in power in all departments of the
State government party always and
forever openly and avowedly hostile
to temperance [ cannot sustain that
action. Please do not ask me to.
After the reelection Of Gov. Foster,
if money is needed, as it will always
be, for legitimate temperance work,
I'll see that my town and county do
their share to the full satisfaction of
the true temperance element
[ permit no man to 60 beyoud me
in practical temperance, nor in devo-
ton to the cause of the ultimate total
prohibition of the whole accursed
traffic, but when you attempt, as you
now do, to overthrow the party of all
true, thorough, and permanent re-
form municipal, State, and national
the party that has made from a
broken, disunited, impoverished ag-
gregation Of States, which had been
plundered, divided, and wrecked by
Democratic misrule and treason, a
strong, united, solvent, noble, and free
nation, which now commands the res
pect, confidence, and admiration Of
the world; you must, if you succeed at
all, do so against my vote and infu-
ence. ROBERT COWDEN.

F1TzNooDLE desecrated Sunday, as
usual, by tramping all over Galveston
Island, in search Of ducks. He never
brought home any ducks yet; but
last Sunday was an exception, for on
his way home he stopped in at the
market and bought splendid pair of
canvas-back ducks. When he got
home, he waved theducks over
his head and said to his wife:
"You didn't expect me to bring
these home. Did you2" "Why, Of
course not" replied the amazed wife.
"You told me you were going out
shooting. How much did they make
you pay for them?"
