THE FUNDING BILL.-The Washing
ton Star says: I'm striking out the
provision requiring that all the gold coin
reserve Of the Treasury, except $50, 600,
600, should be paid out in the redemp-
ton Of maturing bonds, the House re-
lieVed the measure of one feature that
would have been, in all probability,
eliminated in the Senate. There is no
question, however, but that the bill will
be amended in the Senate, and, perhaps,
in its most material provisions. The
end of the session is drawing near, and
it is not likely that the Senate will take
lees than a week in considering the bill.
1t is believed that the rate OF interest
will be increased to 81 per cent, or else
the time for the bonds to run will be ex
tended. If the poorer classes of the
people Of this country could invest theil
savings in United States bonds of small
denomination, it is believed that million:
Of dollars could be so placed. An effort
to so accommodate the people will be
made in the Senate.

Five hundred pounds of condensed
citizenship have been sold in Boston as
Junk. That is the weight of the ballots
cast in that city last November. The
law requires that they shall be destroyed
without having been examined by any
body except properly authorized com
mittees or other bodies, and that is done
by selling them to paper mills out of the
State, where they are sent in sealed bags
which are not opened until their contents
are to be ground up.

Columbus. Ohio, Wednesday evening,
said that the South was about to be de-

be expected, and that he expected ere
long to see happy South. adding to
the wealth, population and energy Of

The Mexican Congress has adjourned
to April 1st. During the recent session
a remarkably large number Of railway
concessions were granted by the govern
ment to American capitalists, and Con
gress will have TO pass upon them in the
spring. The Gonzales administration
seems fully alive to the necessity for
tying our sister republic to the United
States by cords of steel. When the
roads are built, the obstructive tariffs OF
the two republics must be literally re-
duced to accommodate trade.

Oriental Rarharism.

The old story of the sheep who
called on a wolf to settle their dispute
is being played over again in Per
sia The people of Urumiyah called,
in November, on the Persian
troops to protect them from the Kurdish
Sheikb, 0beid Ullah the Sheikh was
driven back, but the troops stayed, and
are committing frightful raVages through.
out all the rich valleys of that region.
Towns are sacked, women surrendered
to the brutality of the soldiers, and men
beheaded. The leader, Timour Pasha,
was ordered to send back certain num-
Der of Kurdish heads to Tabreez, and not
having been able to make up his tale
from the army of Obeid Ullah. he takes
them from the shoulders of the people
whom he came to protect. The barbarity
of these fighting hordes on the under
side of the world seems to belong to
nightmare stories of ghouls and their
doings. One Soonnei Hadji was com
PEELED to take his children's heads in his
skirt and march with them through the
camp. The peaceable HISTORIAN Chris
tians have been attacked by TimoGr
Pasha, and many of them murdered. The
missionaries at Teheran and Mt. SER fear
a general attack on all Christians if Obeid
Utah does not return. The Kurdish
Sheikh, robber though ne was, seems to
have had some vague notions OF
civilized warfare while conducting his
raid. He granted safe conduct or pro.
lection to the missionaries, and began
his exploits on coming down from his
mountain fsstness by crucifying thirty
of his followers for outrsges on the peo-
pie of the lowlauds. His raid was de.
structive enough, but the invaded dis.
trict in calling in Timour has exchanged
King Log for King Stork.

OSTRICH FARMING.

Mr.. Henry Bergh Is wanted at Cape
Colony to stop the farming of ostriches
for their plucking. 1t is only twelve
years since the business was started in
Cape Colony, and the industry Is most
profitable. Last year ostrich feathers
to the value of So, 500, 900 were export
ed from the Cape. A guaranteed good
pair of birds, aged about four years,
can be purchased for $1,000 and these
birds bring in the first year 800 for
feathers. If the breeder has ordinary
luck they to hatch twenty chicks,
which, when six months old are worth
from $40 to $40 each. Thus, in the
first year, the farmer is often repaid for
the whole of his outlay. The first
plucking takes place when the birds
are about twelve months old, the
feathers then being worth $3.50. The
next plueking realizes about $3.50, and
so on, increasing in value as the birds
ages. Ostriches require very little
room, the breeding birds being kept
in small paddocks of about four or Eve
acres in extent, and they feed upon
indian corn, or almost any kind Of
grain.

Street Commissioner Lynch and Erby
Davis, paving contractor, went 10 Cues
isr to view the Port Deposit stone pave
ments recently laid In that thriving lit
tle city. Chester, Of recent years, has
discarded cobble-stone pavements, and
laid all new ones with the Port Deposit
block. Among the streets thus paved
are Third street, Edgemont Avenue, and
all of the street around the P. w. d B.
r. r. station. These pavements were
inspected by the visitors aud found TO
be of very satisfactory character, ex-
cept the paving work, which was rather
defective IN some PAGES. The stoue is
very hard, and cut into oblong pieces
running 6x4 inches in size on the aver
age. 1t makes solid, substantial road
bed, easily kept clean, and one that eau
be readily taken up and relaid when
necessary for the laying or repair OF
pipes.
The committee also called on Street

ABOUT PEACHES.
GENERAL IMPORTS FROM THE PRNIN-
sULA FRUIT DISTRICT.

aULA FRUIT DISTRICT.
A writer in the New York Timss
gives the following information in re-
lation to the peach prospects
But the principal interest in the
peach crop and prospecUs is about
Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey.
One gentleman, who for the past two
weeks has been engaged in a critical
examination for business purposes OF
the peach orchards of Lower Delaware
and Maryland, writes that all the
peaches have not been killed, but has
no doubt that the most of them have,
as there arc only few live buds re-.
naming on the trees. He has some
hope that those buds which remain
will continue 10 stick, but it will take
two weeks more to ascertain if there is
sufficient vitality in the young fruit to
hang on while shedding the blossoms.
The trees are fully one month later thi
season in blooming than usual.
Another gentleman, largely inter
ested in the cultivation Of peaches, and
who is considered an authority OH the
subject, has just spent a week in the
peach centre of New Castle county
est. Georges Hundred), and says q
careful examination of some of tine
best orchards, in company with one of
the mos! enterprising growers of the
county, did not reveal one healthy
bud, and only few buds could be found
that showed any signs of life. 1t was
the judgment Of both gentlemen that
there would be no peaches worth the
naming grown in those orchards this
year; and from all the information
that could be gathered, it was general.
ly believed that only in few favored
orchards along the salt water would
there be any peaches grown.
The New Jersey growers have not
yet given up all hope of a crep, but it
Is generally believed that there will be
no peaches of any consequence grown
in New Jersey this season.
A railroad man who travels almost
daily over the Delaware Railroad, told
a GAZETTE reporter, this morning,
that he did not believe there was a
live bud along the entire length of the
road. He also believed, in addition,
that not only the buds, but the trees,
were killed, and that there would be no
peach crops of any account until the
new tree came into bearing.
The same gentleman, alluding to the
berry prospects, said the crop of straw
berries this year would be the largest
ever grown ON the Peninsula, and that
all other berries would turn out we'll.
