SHEPHERDS CASE.

The investigation of Shipherd by
congressionl committee has not yet
done much more than to establish the
fact, which was evident enough be-
fore the investigation began, that he
is an unmitigated fraud, an enlarged
edition of Col. Sellers, and that a
large number of statesmen listened
with more or less interest to his chat
ter about his "castles in Spain. ;"
He is a humbug, that is certain, but
it does not yet appear that he secur-
ed the cooperation of any of these
statesmen in his fabulous schemes.
The investigation has now come near
ly if not quite to an end, unless the
house of representatives. of which
this committee is the agent, has the
power to compel him to disclose the
names of the men who comprise what
he calls the ''Peruvian Company"
According to the decision of the su-
preme court in the Kilbourne case,
Hno person. can be punished for con-
tumacy as a witness before either
| house unless his testimony is requir-
ed in matter into which that house
! has jurisdiction to inquire, and Meth
er of these bodies possesses the pow
er of making inquiry into the private
question has reference to the i'm
parchment or the conduct of mem
Der the house has no power to COM
pei an answer. The question whether
any member of the house is a stock
holder in that comany might have q
significant bearing upon his qualifca-
ton to sit in the house, and therefore
be proper question to which an an
swer could be compelled. We are
more inclined to think that Shipherd' s
present attitude may be explained by
the fact that he is unwilling to suffer
the modification of confessimg thai
his whole scheme is a gross fraud
and that he was unable to procure fol
it the substantial recognition of any
reputable man.-Messenger.

ignition, while those in the buildings
were buried by the falling walls and
debris. For some time after the
storm passed the people who were
uninjured were so terribly excited
that nothing could be done. When
they at last recovered from their con-
sternation, search for the dead and
wounded was commenced. 1t was
at first supposed that at least fifty
persons had been killed, but a thor
ough search revealed that only seven
had been killed outright.

Where contractors have been corner

contracts run out perhaps they won't
whistle quite so cheerfully and may
pay dear for their whistle. There is,
a serious check to building opera
lions, and while houses already built
are changing hands at continually
advancing rates, lots hang heavily on
owners hands, for people will not
put their hands in their pockets to
start up such an expensive business
as building, unless they can form
some sort of an idea as to how much
it much it will cost them, and what
they'll make out Of the operation.
When you can't tell, from day to day
what unforeseen, and often unreason-

THE LOST JEANNETTE.

DR.. H. G. Ledyard, an American,
now in Siberia, has had an interview
at Irkutsk with Lieutenant Danen-
hover, who gave him interesting de-
tails of the loss of the Jeanette.
The doctor says: ''Since the first fall
they were out, when they were caught
by the ice in trying to reach Herald
Island, they had never taken a
course, but the vessel was held as if
in the jaws of death. Squeezed I'M

way and that, thrown floating and
then caught again, they were every
hour in suspense, never knowing
when the ice would close in upon
them. A little more, and the deck
would have sunk beneath them.
Throughout this strain they were well
and tried to be cheerful, working
very hard with the engine, and the
men were barely able to keep the
water out. They had to pump for
year and a half. On June IL, 1881,
the crisis came. The ship showed
greater straining than before, she
quivered, and inexplicable movements
warned them to hasten from the YES
sci. They prepared their boats and
made their camp beside the Jean
nette. She rose and turned in her
cradle until the yards touched the
ice. Then the rigging gave way and
her masts lay PROSTATE. At four

The house passed new Chinese
bill on Monday, yeas POI, nays 81.
Joyce and Grout of this State are re-
ported among the nays. This bill
prohibits Chinese emigration for ten
years instead of twenty, as the other
did, and it is supposed will receive
the approval of the president. Al
all events, the prohibition can be re-
newed at the end of the ten years il
the country so desires, and under the
new bill they cannot become Ameri-

Members of the house post office
committee are very confident of the
passage of some one of the bills they
have before them which propose re-
duction of letter postage. A day
has already been fixed for the con-
sideration of bills from that commit
tee. and the committee before that
time agree upon the specific bill for
reduction, which they will commend
for passage. There are but few
members of the committee who OPP
pose the course of proposed reduc-
ton. In the course of Investigations
of this question it has been discover
ed that, thanks to the efficient admin
istration, the postal service under the
last administration, the post office
department is now nearly, if not en-
tirely, self-sustaining. In fact, so
far as figures-go, the department has
a surplus Of more than half a million
dollars for the present fiscal year,
and for this reason it is believed that
there will be less objection to the re-
duction of postage, In the course
of ten years the rate of postage on all
kinds of matter, except on letters,
has been reduced.

Educated Women.

Educated women have a wide
sphere. There is, indeed, some dis
cussion as TO its exact bounds.
Some doubt, for instance, whether
they have a legitimate function in
the pulpit. Our own view is that
character and ability are Gods
chart of duty. But, whatever may
be decided in regard to the pulpit,
there is one field where EDUCATED
women are in demand. That is the
home. The educated woman is the
best wife, the best mother, the best
housekeeper, the best economist.
The "coming men" could afford to
pay all the expenses OF a full train
ing for their future wives merely
for the greater good they would re-
ceiVe from them. In these days we
pity the ignorant mother. Six
years of hard study are well invest
ed, if for nothing more than to be
able to answer a thousand questions
which curious youngsters will be
asking in few years.
