elles ont failli dams leur mandat

Trois projects de loi sont ac-
tuellement devant le congress
pour former un fonds d'educa-
ton qui sera distribute entire les
differents Etats ct Territories.
LIE plus important est celui du Sc
nateur Blair qui content une
appropriation de $15,OOO,OOO la
premiere aimee ct une appropri-
alton annuelle, pendant dix ans,
dune somme diminuant chaque
aimee dun million. LIE mon
tant devra 6tre pay6 du tresor

rents 6tats ct territories dams la
proportion du nombre de per-
sonnes au-dessus de dix ans qui
ne savent nj lire nj ecrire COM
paree an nombre total de telles
personnes dams les Etats- Unis.
Ce fonds sera place sous le con-
tr6le du secretaire de Pinterieur,
qui agira avec les surintendants

LIE second bill est celui du Sc
natenr MorriI, don't pobjet est
d'etablir un fonds d'education ct
d'appliquer une partie des reve-
nus des terres publiques q Pedu-

de colleges pour layancement

de la vente des terres publiqnes
ne serait pas distribute entire les

ment aux autorites d'etat.
LIE troisieme bill est celui du

A Great Fish Exhibition.
TFrOm the NY Times


Preparations are active in England In
regard to the great International Fisher
les Exhibition TO be held in London in
the early part of 1883. Arrangements
have been completed to hold the exh1bi-
ton in the Gardens of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society. With the existing
buildings and such additional space as
will be covered, the total area provided
for will be some 10000 square feet
A subcommittee has been appointed,
who will undertake the installing of
aquaria and the necessary arrangements
for the piscicUltural department. Hun
gary, Italy, Germany, France, Norway,
Sweden, Russia, the Netherl ands, and
South America will all furnish exhib-
it's. At the annual conference of the
International Meteorological Committee,
held at Copenhagen, it was determined
that representations of forecasting the
weather should be forwarded. Among
the numerous prizes is one of $500 for
the best life-boat. An award of G10O is
offered for the paper on the food of fish
In fresh and salt water, and the same
amount for the best essay on improved
facilities for the capture, economic trans
mission, and distribution of fresh fish.
In this country the United States Fish
Commission are thoroughly occupied in
preparing their exhibits. Models of
every variety of fishing-boat, whether
used on the Atlantic or Pacific coast, for
fresh or salt water fishing, are being
constructed. The collection of fishing
apparatus will be most exhaustive, be-
ginning with hand-line and concluding
with the seines. Prof G. Brown Goode
and Capt. Collins, attached to the COM
mission, have made aD extended trip
along the coast of New-England and have
been enabled to add some most interest
ing and novel features to the exhibit 1t
is believed that should the Albatross, the
steamer to be attached to the fish com
mission, (now in process of construc-
ton, be sent to London, the exhibitmade
by this country will be perfect in every
way. A great many private contribu-
tiOns will be made.

a Pacific Cyclone.

This year and last have been remark
able years for floods and cyclones, The
disasters they have caused in several
states Justify the use of those overworked
ep1thets, :" horrible and " terrible. :"
Thousands have realized as they never
did before that the tremendous forces of
nature, which usually do mems bidding,
may, without moments warning, turn
and rend him.
The story of Pacific cyclone, which
occurred in 1878, strikingly illustrates
this fact. The cyclone was accompanied
by tidal wave, and swept over group
of islands in the south Pacific. Inc
center of the cyclone was at Kaukura, 8
low, fiat island, whose highest elevation
was not fifteen feet above the sea.
All the inhabitants had assembled at
one place to gather the cocoanut crop.
A wind which had dashed the waters of
the usually calm sea-lagoon caused them
anxiety. But they relied for protection
against the ocean waves on the coral
reef which encircled the island. Be-
sides, hurricane had not been known
for eighty years.
Suddenly the cyclone rolled upon the
isle and laid low every tree. Tumultu-
GUS waves swept over the barrier-reef
and broke upon the shore with tremen-
duous force. Such was the pressure
that water was forced up through the
coral foundation. The light, sandy soil
became quicksand.
Over a hundred persons, believing the
island would be submerged, took refuge
in their boats. All but one were swept
out to sea and persisted in the seething
waters.
Others fled to the highest ground and
chung to stunhps of palm-trees. All
night long cataracts of foam rushed over
them. They were dashed against rocks
and stumps, as the swirIing waters car
ried them to and fro. When morning
broke the island was a wreck and it's
shores strewn with the bodies of the
dead.
A white trader on another island,
alarmed at the fall of his barometer,
moved his goods to house built on the
highest elevation.
The natives laughed at his precaution.
That night the sea swept over the coral
breakwater and almost covered the island
with roaring waves.
AhS nSA0 ulOIhllS d IuttSS VI DIoh6u
timber marked where one hundred and
fifty buildings had stood. The ceme-
teries were washed out, and bones and
skulls were mixed with the corpses of
the drowned. On the white traders re-
turn to his wrecked home, he was
greeted by two grim skulls which the
ironical waves had laid in his parlor.
In the group over two millions of
cocoa palms were uprooted, twisted and
snapped by the rotating gale. The peo-
pie looked sadly on the fallen palms,
their principal means of subsistence,
and thought of the eight years which
would have to pass before the young
palms could bear their fruit.

Called Her DarIinU.
From the Detroit Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press.1
AS the train pulled out of Charleston
/ looked around the car and saw that
there were seven of us occupying whole
seats, while the eighth was a pert-looking
girl about IL years old. think the idea
of the other six men was to get some
sort of an excuse to share the young
ladys seat. One offered to open the
window, but found it open and fell back.
A second offered her book, but she had
read it. A third handed her newspa-
per, but she had the same issue. The
fourth one was drummer from Cincin-
natl. He pulled his cap down, picked
up his grip and went to the door and
banged it as if he had just entered.
Then rushing along the aisle he pumped
down beside the girl without word,
slowed his grip under his feet, and
pulled out paper and began to read.
it was ten minutes before he said word
to her, but when the conversation
opened she proved to be the most enter
tanning talker man ever listened to. She
had travelled everywhere, and seen every
thing, and had laugh to make mans
heart Jump. AS the train Numbered on the
drummer made love, lied right and left,

mash. She gave him her address, in
vited him to call, told him all about the
family, and permitted him to call her
darling before we reached Savannah. He
was to see about her baggage there, and
while looking for it she slipped away.
When we got to the hotel he suddenly
grew as white as -four. She had Dor
rowed his diamond ring and still had it.
She had slyly taken his gold watch and
chain, and when he felt for his wallet
his fingers clutched an empty pocket. He
danced around like crazy monkey, fig
uring his total loss at $500, but he raved
in vain. The entertaining girl, who had
permitted him to "darling" her, and
who had solemnly informed him that she
had never known what love was until
then, could not be found by the police.
1t was back-handed game.

L.amson's Insurance.

DR.. Lamson had his life insured for
So, 900, and prior to his arrest on the
charge of poisoning his brother-in-law,
only one premium had been paid I'M
mediately before his conviction, DR..
Lamson assigned the policy absolutely
to W. A. Mills, the solicitor by whom
he was defended, and directed that the
money be used to cover the balance Of
the costs of the defense. Some years
ago the house of lords decided that I'M
der circumstances like those of the Lam
son case, policy was void, even though
the policy provide that death at the
hands of justice shall not vitiate. In
spite of this, however, the company in
which Lamson was insured has decided
to pay the full amount of the policy,
although there seems to be no doubt
that 1t might have successfully resisted
payment. +

A Montana pnst-nhne

The post-offic at Iron Roc Montana,
has been discontinued, and the explana-
ton is thus given by an officer of the de-
partment: "a post-office agent, while
officially visiting various Offices in Mon
tana territory for the purpose of correct
ing any Irregularities of postmasters,
stopped at Iron Rod. Going into the
post office he found the room divided in
the post-off1ce, and last faro bank. The
mailbag was brought in, rough-look-
ing customer opened it, and emptied the
contents on the floor. The entire crowd
at once got down on their hands and
commenced overhauling the letters,
among which several were registered,
and selected such as they wanted. After
they were through the remaining letters
were shoveled into a candle-box and
placed on the bar. The special agent.
thinking the Office needed little regu-
lating, asked the barkeeper, who had re-
ceived and distributed the mail, if he
was the postmaster. He answered. No.
Are you the assistant postmaster?
No. Where is the postmaster? 'Out
mining. Where is the assistant post
master p Gone to Hell's Canon; and
by thunder Bill Jones has got to run
this post-office next week; itsehis turn.
The government official then stated
who he was, and demanded the keys of
the Office. The barkeeper coolIy took
the candle-box from the bar, placed 1T
on the floor and gave it a kick, sending
it out of the door, saying, There's your
post-offce, and now git. The agent
says: Knowing the custom of the coun-
try, I lost no time in following his adj
vice, and got. This is why the post
office at Iron Rod was discontinued"

Wine Drinking i'm Europe,
TFrom the baltimore American


Good wine can seldom be obtained at
either hotels or restaurants in Europe.
Americans who have followed the Euro
pean practice of taking wine at almost
every meal make the general complaint
that the wine furnished them almost
everywhere has been of the most infer
ior quality. Many of them have been
accustomed to drinking foreign wines at
home, and they are strongly of the opin-
ion that the good qualities are exported
and the inferior alone kept for home
consumption. But the fact is that the
adulteration of wine is carried on to such
an extent, especially in Paris, that what
Is called 'vinordinaire' has very little of
the juice of the grape in it. Indeed, 1t
Is scarcely possible for all vineyards in
Europe to supply pure wine sufficient to
meet the demand for consumption.
Everybody drinks two or three bottles of
wine per day In Paris, and you will see
even the scavenger and chiffonier sitting
on the curbstone, partaking of their
midday meals, with bottle of wine to
wash it down. At the Bon Marche dry
goods establishment all the employees
are fed in the extensive dining-rooms
on the upper story of the establishment.
They number from 200 to ], 800 men
and women. We were shown through
the culinary department, and we're start
led at the immense wine-room, which
contained many thousand bottles. A
large force of men was at work washing
and filing bottles, and we were assured
that the daily consumption of the estab-
llshment exceeded 1000 bottles. By
the side of every plate at the long dinner
tables was bottle of wine, and these
had to be filled three times every day.
Wine is a part of the daily food, and
most of it seems as harmless as water.
Wine in America has an intoxicating
quality. but what we met with in Europe
at table d'hotes would scarcely intoxicate

What Railway Train Cost.

The Indianapolis Journal says that
what is known as the royal limited ex-
press over the Pennsylvania road, as or;
dinarily made up, represents over $780,
900, as follows: Engine $50, 1000; bag
gage car, ST, 200: smoking car, 5000
dining-room car, So, 900; five elegant
Pullman cars, $4,000 each, $780,
While this may seem to be an exception,
the ordinary express train represents
$63, 900 to 1856, 900. The average value
of freight train is still greater than that
of passenger train, when the value of
the property carried is included. Some
times the freight aggregates $3.50, 900 to
$500, 900.

a Wild Steer.

An enraged Texas steer had it all his
own way for about two hours in Phila-
delphla a morning or two ago. He
charged on a man behind tree-box,
which was smashed. Down street he
went, scattering pedestrians right and
left, charging from one side of the street
to the other in pursuit of people. He
knocked down young man who received
a severe scalp wound and was trampled
upon. A man advanced and fred two
shots. The bullets missed and the steer
made a dash at the pistol-frer, who re-
tired into neighboring store. After
scattering a number of ash-boxes and
Gcppling over barber-pole it caught and
knocked down a young woman. Her
shoulder was dislocated by the fall and
she was struck in the face by one of the
animals hoofs, leaving an ugly cash.
Then he demolished coal box and killed
a dog and drove the residents into
spasms of terror. By this time he was
followed by crowd of men and boys, at
a safe distance, yelling and shouting.
This increased the rage of the steer, who
chased two men so holly that they threw
themselves through the door of private
house. He bolted into crowd of people,
scattering them right and left. One man
in his haste to escape, fell and was
trampled by the steer. A rash young
man ran out into the street directly in
front of the steer and began waving his
arms. A moment later he thought he
had been struck by pile-driver. The
steers head butted him in the stomach,
one of its horns passing on each side of
him. The man was knocked into the
gutter, where, when the crowd came up,
he was found bleeding and insensidle.
The beast was finally killed by two men
armed with revolvers.
