examined the contract system Of buying
stationery and printed matter supplies, IN
troduced resolution instructing the clerks
to buy such supplies only after consulta
ton with the committee, and to procure
them at home as far as 1t was possible
which was adopted.
Lewis said some of the clerks IN the
offices complained their wages were very
low, considering the price OF living. lie
thought the matter Of sufficient Importance
as matter Of right that the committee on
salaries should look into the matter.
Flaherty said the building committee
had examined into the matter and found
that artesian we'll water would not do for
the county boilers. All experts have deci.
ded against its use. Mr.. Griffin, Of Utica,
said he had tried arteslan water and river
or soft water, and found that with the lat.
ter boiler would last twice as long as one
using the former. The committee wanted
authority to tap the canal and build a els.
tern. They had been gwen permission to
tap the canal without expense. What the
cis.ern and improvement would cost they
did not know, not having thoroughly es.
timated the cost, but it would not b. great.
er than the cost Of we'll. On motion of
Gilbert, they were authorized to procure
water for the engine house in such manner
as they deem best.
The committee on state charitable insti.
tutlons, through Reynolds, reported bills
for 1896, which were ordered paid.

Says the Tombstone Epitaph: Those
wards of the nation, the gentle reservation
Apaches of Arizona, who have been COM
fortably fed and blanketed by the Govern
ment through the inclemency of the Win
ter, now that the season is favorable, have
gone out to pursue their pastime of MUIR
dering whites. Their first venture was to
kill the chief of the Indian scouts, a white
man, and since then several unsuspecting
teamsters have been butchered on the
highway. II the usual course is pursued
Uncle Sans troops will wear themselves
out in a hunt after these red devils, who
will finally, if the chase becomes too hot
for them, sneak back to the reservations
and remain UNPUBLISHED until such time as
they may conclude to repeat their game of
murder and pillage. Another Crook is
needed to deal with the Apaehes, who un-
derstands both how to control and punish
them.

EMERSON ILL.

The news comes over the wires that
Ralph Waldo Emerson is dangerously Ill.
He is an old man, and it is not unlikely
that his energies are worn out. lie has
been failing for many years. We may
expect soon to hear that he has followed
Longfellow. In the sphere OF letters
America has not produced many men OF
greatness as weighed among the literary
men of the world. Hence, when one OF
the luminaries of our little galaxy is ex-
tinguished the light in our sky is sadly
diminished. This is all the more strik-
ingly true since America has never pro-
duced an author of the first class. 1t
NAV be that the circumstances which
generate genius, If there are such, as
some theorists claim, have not existed or
have not been called together on this
side of the ocean for the creation OF the
glorious essence. Maybe our country is
not old enough yet. Ii we had ever
had born to us a mind OF the first
magnitude-say like Shakespeare, Newton
or Bacon-we could afford to see such
lesser luminaries of the sort of Emerson,
Whittier, and even Longfellow, sink be-
low the horizon with the sensation OF a
palpable cloud in our literary sky. Still,
in our sphere of letters, barren of great re-
suits, except in experimental and applied
science, it is painful to see the foremost
of our second or third-rate intellects
crossing the River Styx. For the sake
of the seeds these men may SOW we want
them to live as long as they may, for by
artificial selection the class of book PEG.
pie in the United States may be ulti-
mately improved, as to give birth to one
great, big, world-wise man. Breeding is
possibly one of the circumstances con-
comitant in the production of genius,
which seems capricious and accidental.
If so, and our national pride Graves for
a genius, it is desirable to have Emer-
sons live after they have lost their vigor,
and have begun to utter childish bah
blings. Otherwise, out Of personal re-
gard for a played-out old man, u best
wishes for him would be a natural death.

~BREAD

The figures showing the expectation OF
breadstuffs for the month of March last
indicate in a very expressive manner how
much the country loses by the partial
failure of last years harvest. They show
a falling off in those expectations Of
nearly one-half, as compared with the
parallel statement for the corresponding
month in 1881. In March a year ago
the total expectations of breadstuffs
amounted in round numbers to twenty
two million dollars, whereas this year it
is little more than half as much. A
curious feature of the current statement
is the remarkable increase it shows in
the shipments from San Francisco. They
were valued at a little over two million
dollars in March, 1881, whereas last
month they footed up a total of just
four times that amount.

THE HOUSE OF STEWART.

The announcement that the house Of
A. L. Stewart & Co. is winding up its
affairs preparatory to closing its doors is,
as may be supposed, the local sensation
of New York City. As usual in such
cases, the number OF those prepared to
hear the news is large, but the general
public, which had come to regard Stew
arts as one OF the permanent institutions
of New York, is fairly taken by surprise,
and the circumstances under which the
step was determined upon forms the
principal topic of current discussion.
Judge Hilton, who has of course been
interviewed, denies that the step was
taken because the house was losing
money, while the rumor that it was
threatened with financial embarrassment
did not need denial. But it is the opin-
ion in well-informed circles that while
the transactions of the house may still
have been profitable, the profits must
have been rapidly disappearing, as the
business has steadily fallen away since
Stewards death,

OURABI BEY.

There is some reason to apprehend that
England and France will presently be
compelled to take a active part in
Egyptian politics, however reluctant they
may be to do SO. Apparently emboldened
and intoxicated by his success, Ourabi
Bey is INDUCING in threats of signif-
cantly sinister character, and the "Know-
nothing" movement, of which he is the
head and front, seems to be gathering a
momentum which e~ndangers the persons
and property of the European residents
in the Khedive's domains. The moral
suasion of diplomacy is likely to prove,
at a nc very distant day, insufficient to
meet the exigencies of the situation.
The Suez Canal alone renders some kind
of foreign supervision over Egyptian
politics indispensable.

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

The San Francisco Post asks the Elk.
aminer:
Will our esteemed Democratic contem-
porary, which is so industriously beating
its tomtoms just now, give lis an idea what
sort of an Anti-Coolie bill its friend, Judge
Stephen ]. Field, will sign, in case he ever
becomes President? The people of Cali
fornia will not soon forget his decision on
the queue ordinance and other anti-Chi-
nese measures.
If the Post will take the trouble to
recall the vote that Judge Field got in
the last National Convention Of Demo-
Gratis, and particularly the expression of
opinion with regard to him at that time
by the Democratic party on the Pacific
Coast, it will need no further light on
the subject.

mamla

ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
LONDON, April 24.-The explosion on
Saturday at the Court Theater caused great
alarm. A panic was avoided by the cool
ness Of the Prince of Wales, who ordered
his own party to sit still, and signaled the
rest of the house to preserve order. 1t
was soon discovered that there was no
danger.
DUBLIN, April 24.-Dorris, late Assist
ant Secretary of the Land Lesgue, has
been released from Dundalk Jail. He
was informed that his movements will be
strictly watched, and that he would be
rearrested if he did not properly behave
himself.
Some interest in Parnell has been ex-
cited by the mystery surrounding his
movements. 1t is now understood that he
reports himself at Kilmainham Jail to-day.
All speculations respecting the political
significance of his release have been
abandoned. The attempts to entangle the
Government in negotiations proved utter
ly futile,

PARNELL BEHAVES WE'LL.

1t seems that Mr.. Parnell has behaved

rewarding his good conduct by granting
him an unconditional release. The news

believe that the British authorities would
be only too glad to find ONE good or

The Frozen Tundra.

The northern coast of Siberia, between
Cape Chelyuskin and Behring Strait, Is
probably the most barren and inhospit-
able part of the whole Russian Empire.
For hundreds of miles back from the
Arctic Ocean the country consists almost
entirely of great desolste steppes known
to the Russians as tundras pronounced
toondras), which in summer are almost
impossible wastes of brownish gray
Arctic moss saturated with water, and
in winter trackless deserts of snow,
drifted and packed by polar gales into
long, hard, huted waves The Siberian
tundra differs in many essential partic-
ulars from all other treeless plains. In
the first place it has q foundation of per-
manently frozen ground. Underlying
the great moss tundras which border the
Lena River north of Yakutsk there Is
everywhere thick stratum Of eternal
frost, beginning. in winter at the surface
of the earth. and in summer at q point
twenty or thirty inches below the surface,
and extending to depth of many hun
dred feet. What scanty vegetation,
therefore, the tundra affords roots itself
and finds its nourishment in thin layer
of unfrozen ground-a mere veneering Of
arabic soil-resting upon a substratum
five or six hundred feet in depth of per-
mauent and impenetrable Ice. This
foundation of ice Is impervious, Of
course, to water, and as the snow melts
in summer the water completely satu-
rates the soil 70 as great q depth as it
can penetrate, and, with the aid OF the
continuous daylight of June and July,
stimulates dense luxuriant growth of
gray Arctic moss. This moss In course
of time covers the entire plain with q
soft, yielding cushion In which q pedes-
trian viii sink to the knee without find-
ing any solid footing. Moss has grown
out of decaying moss year after year and
century after century until the whole
tundra for thousands of square miles is
q vast, spongy bog. OF other vegetation
there is little or none. A clump OF dwarf
berry bushes, an occasional tuft of coarse
swamp grass or q patch of storm and
cold-defying kedrovnik diversi6es, per-
haps, here and there the vast brownish-
gray expanse; but, generally speaking,
the eye may sweep the whole circle Of
the horizon and see nothing but the sky
and moss.-ODr. ". T. Herald.
