The rumOr-or rather the Inference from q
rumor-that The Arizona may have been lost
on her return trip to this country rests upon
no reasonable foundation. The story is that a
package of letters from the Captain to his
wife and kilograms was washed ashore on one
OF the Hebrldes Islands. This is all there is
or the report. dozen rational explanations
might be made of such an incident, the best
OF which, perhaps are that this was a bundle
OF letters inirusted to the pilot who lost it
overheard or that it was lost or thrown
overheard from the ship. Certainly there il
nothing here to justify any alarm at present
The Arizona is due here Sunday night or
Monday, and if she is delayed much beyond
the latter day, it will be time enough to in
vestlgate the sources of this report.
The declaration which Mr.. Evarts read at
the close of the Monetary Conference on
Friday In the name of the American and
French delegates, defines clearly the
condition of the silver question, and in
dicates what, in the opinion of bi-metal
lists, is needed to secure success. Ac-
cOrding to our London cable dispatch.
some business men regard the Conference
RS of little practical importance, and deem
1t absurd that England should make any
sacrlnces TO benefit American " silver
kings" People who take that narrow
view of the subject are likely to remain OBJ
Stinate, but there are large numbers of British
merchants in the East Indian trade who know
from practical experience that stability in the
value of silver would not benefit American
producers alone.
While tho language Of the New-Vork statute
does not seem to offer any authority for special
elections of Congressman on any other CAV
than that of the general election, it is q face
that such elections have been held. David
Dudley Field was elected member of the
XLlVth Congress on the I'd of January. 1877.
to fill tho vacancy caused by the resignation
OF Smith Ely, jr., and in 1859, when
the law referred to. being one of 1S47.
was in force, Thomas j. Barr was
elected to the XXXVth Congress IN place
OF John Kelly, resigned. The case of Waldo
Hutchins, mentioned at Albany, was not a par
allel, as he was chosen at special election
held on the general election day. 1t would be
easy, in case of the election of Messrs. Lap
ham and Miller as Senator's to authorize
special elections of congressman to fill vacan-
cies whenever the Governor shall deem them

TIE SEWAGE PUMPING QUESTION.

In the discussion upon the proposed plan
of pumping the city sewage and drainage, i.
has been stated that there is a State Law
which prohibits pumping the sewage into the
river and thereby polluting the stream below.
and that hence the plan could not be carried
into effect if adopted.
The law referred to is Section $40 of the
Penal Code, and as it reads since amended in
March, 1876. is as follows:
Every person who puts the carcass of
any dead animal, or the offal from any
slaughter-pen, corral or butcher-shop into
any river, creek, pond, reservoir, stream,
street, alley, public highway. or road in COM
mon use, or who attempts to destroy the
same by fire within one-fourth of mile Of
any city, town, or village and every person
who puts the carcass Of any dead animal, or
any offal of any kind, in or upon the borders
of any stream, pond, lake or reservoir from
which water is drawn for the supply of the
inhabitants of any city, city and county, or
any town in this State. SO that the drainage
from such carcass or offal may be taken up,
by or in such stream, pond. lake or
reservoir, or who allows the carcass
of any dead animal, or any offal
of any kind to remain in or upon the borders
of any such stream, pond. lake or reservoir
within the boundaries of any lands owned or
occupied by him, or who keeps any horses.
mules. cattle, swine, sheep, or live stock of
any kind, penned, corraled, or housed on,
over, or on the borders of any such stream,
pond, lake, or reservoir, SO that the waters
thereof shall become polluted by reason
thereof, is guilty of misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall be punished as pre-.
scribed in Section 377 of this Code"
The penalty prescribed by the section re-
ferred to is imprisonment in the County Jail
not exceeding one year, or fine not exceed
ing 81, 600, or both.

Setting Out Currants and GOoseberries.

Both the currant and the gooseberry
do better to grow from cuttings than
from the roots. The wood of last years
growth must be taken, cut it into pieces
from eight TO ten inches in length, and
insert about half the length in the usual
prepared garden soil, press the ground
firmly with the foot, mulch, and there
will be no danger of not growing. Set
them where they are desired to remain
permanently. If small tree and not a
bush is preferred, cut out all the eyes
entering the ground. If bush, let the
eyes remain. We prefer the bush for
two reasons, the first is, more is obtain
ed; the second, it is longer lived. In
fact the bush will live half century,
only requiring thinning cut of the wood
once in while. AS to currants we pre-
fer decidedly the old Dutch Red 1t is
not so large as some others, but it bears
as ablndantly and is less acid and of bet
ter quality. Of gooseberries, we prefer
the Downing. 1t is of good quality, an
excellent bearer, and has never mildew-
ed upon our premises,-Gerntdnto,cn

.ROlling Grain in the Spring.

If farmers would look at the theory
of rolling the wheat and the rye fields in
the spring, il would be resorted TO much
more frequently than it is. Occasionally
The winter and spring have been so IA
yorable to these crops as not TO render il
necessary. But in three seasons out of
four il is necessary, and doubtless adds
considerably TO their productiveness.
The thawings and freezings of the
ground, thawing or spewing out of the
roots, and exposing them to the drying
winds of February and March, very sc
iiously affect the grain. Passing roll
or over as soon as the soil is fit to go
upon, presses back the roots into their
beds, and gives them fair grip again
upon the support on which the crop must
depend. This must be apparent to every
one who will look at its operation. We
have no doubt that rolling over fields,
which have been badly thrown up by
the frost. would also have a most benef-
cial effect.
When the season comes round when
the work is to be done, it is best TO call
attention to these things, or it will pass
and the advantages he lost.--German-
.stm 7siegrcph.

Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte,
whose death is announced, was son of
Lucien Bonapartc, Prince of Canine, a
brother of Napoleon l., and was born at
Rome, September II, 1915. He passed
his youth as an adventurer in America,
Italy and Greece; and committed several
hemicides. After the coup d etat of
December 2, 1851, and the restoration
of the Empire he received the titles of
Prince and Highness. In 1871 he shot
journalist named Victor Noir, and at
tempted to shoot Uric Fouville, in an
interview held in the Princes house For
this he paid fine of $4,000 Prince
Pierre was the author of several literary
works, the chief of which is a French
metrical version of Nicoinis tragedy,
"Nebuchodnoser," 1861. He was APP
pointed an officer of the Legion of Hon

An Extraordinary Woman.

Mrs Easter Yates, known locally as
"The Amazon of the Plattekill, died in
Plattekill, Ulster county,N. Y, few days
ago. Physically she was built more like
n woman than man. Her shoulders
were broad and her muscles well formed.
During the winter Mrs. Yates cut cord
wood on the mountains, and, in the Ian
guage of the countryman, at took a
purity good man to swing an AK along
side of her" On several occasions she
cut as many as three cords of wood in
one day, in addition to performing the
household duties in her home after sun
set. In the summer she cut grain for
the farmers, and was rated as u "good
hand" She cultivated small garden of
her own, selling her products in Newburg.
She made weekly trips TO that city,car-
rying her truck in two large baskets.
Farmers going to town to ship their hay
on the barge line would offer her ride,
and her invariable reply was: 81 am in
a hurry; it will take you all day to get
there" She could easily outwdlk any
team with n load behind them. Six years
ago horse, while passing her house, fell
and became fast in the harness. The dri-
yer and several other men could not sue
ceed in getting the animal loose. Mrs.
Yates lifted the horse up bodily, but in
so doing fractured her leg. The bones
in the injured body never knit. Though
suffering much pain, her daily employ
ment consisted in chopping kindling
wood on a block while she sat in chair
| in front of her house.
