THE proposition made by the Argen-
tine Republic to her neighbor, Brazil,
that they shall settle their Missiones
boundary dispute through the arbitra-
ton of the United States supreme
court or of the federal court Of Switzer-
land, is a pacific one. Boundary dis
putcs are i'll nearly all cases questions
of legal title, or else of surveyors lines;
and i'll no instance need they be put to
the arbitrament of the sword. Many
examples have occurred of late years
in which an umpire has been success
fully resorted to for the settlement of
suck controversies, the reference of the
disputed San Juan line, with the ques-
ton of Haro channel, being the latest
in the experience of this country-the
emperor of Germany deciding 1t in our
favor. The government of the United
States may be able to discharge, in its
turn, the friendly functions of referee,
should President Arthur be called upon
TO stand rs arbIter between Mexico and
Guatemala i'll their Soconusco contro-
versy. Argentine herself has recently
had good cause 10 believe in the value
of friendly settlements of territorial dis
pu'es with ones neighbors, her recent
amcaole compact with Chill having
gwen her at least five-sixths of Pata-
gonna. Where empero.s and presidents
are called on To act as arbiters, they.
of course, do not charge themselves
personally with the udy of all the de-
tails, but employ competent jurists or
statesmen for this purpose. There is
something striking, therefore, in the
Argentine proposition to refer the
pending dispute not to president, but
to the ordinary supreme court of a
friendly nation. Brazil may have had
good reasons for not considering the
subject fit one for international arbi-
tration; but if she should accept the
proposition, no doubt an impartial de.
cision could be secured either at Wash
ington or Berne.

The association of the United Lager
Beer Brewers Of New York City and
vicinity recently offered q reward of
81 900 for the detection of "any poison
GUS or deleterious substances, or any
authorizations whatever" in beer
brewed by any member of the associa-
ton. From circular issued by that
association it appears that Col. II. II.
Hadley, secretary Of the Business
Mems Moderation society, has claimed
to have found in beer brewed by the
president Of the brewers association sub
stances which entitle him TO the 81 900
re ward, and that he has formally de-
manded it. The brewers association
has refused TO pay. Its circular says
nearly every member Of the associa-
ton uses, or has used, and doubtless
will use in the future, glucose, rice,
corn starch, and prepared corn in the
manufacture OF beer, and denies that
the use of any of these is adulteration.

the ground, but the furniture was saved.
At one time the spire of the Episcopal
church, near by, was ablaze. Other fires

the Egyptians had a complete system of

The.Nen Comets Appearance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The new
comet watched at the naval observa-
tory this afternoon, is found in the
right ascension IL hours 19 minutes
and 80 seconds; declination II minutes
north. The comet is easily seen with
the naked eye, and exhibits a short
tail with bright head of considerable
extent In the telescope the neuclus
shows as a confused mass OF bright
light, indicating large comet: with
plenty of loose material, extending on
both sides, were bright aries of light,
presenting the appearance OF
bird with outstretched wings.
The comet. was seen at Nice
France, about noon, September..18. 1t is
almost certain thst the comet has now
passed its perihelion. The comet to-
day at was nine degrees west of the
sun and win probably have increased
this distance by sunrise on the 10th by
twelve to thirteen degrees. 1t viii

but owing to the fact that it Is also far

New York HeraId: Half a year ago
II Western girl Of good family eloped
with fellow who must haze been at
least handsome, for tho lady had no
lack Of admirers in her own town.
Three days ago she was obliged to shoot
her husband to avoid being killed by
him; testimony to This tilect was grace
fully given by the dying s1an. After
her marriage the lady di.cOvered that
her husband WAS II gambler, an opium
cater and brute. Why she did not dis
cover all this before marriage is Il
natural question, but one which few
women who have had similar marital
experiences would answer if they
could. Either man or woman who mar
ries for good looks without taking pains
to learn whether there are any other
desirable qualifications takes risks
compared with which leap into the
river on II dark night il an eminently
safe proceeding, for in ono case death
would be mercifully sudden; in the
other it must be the result of years Of
hopeless torture.
