Gus manners and his old-fashioned,dress
As late as 1859, he wore, in the streets OF
Washington, a broad -brimmed hat. a

clothes, Black silk stockings. knee and
shoe buckles, and his hair tied Hp IL a
cue.
The chancellor was a devoted brother
Of the angle" believing with quaint
lzaak Walton that &" God never did make
@ more calm, quiet, innocent recreation
than angling" One of the stories told
of fishing exploits Is as follows: On one
warm afternoon, the officer in command
at the Washington arsenal observed the
chancellor sitting on a broken-do
wharf hour after hour, intently watching

bis quarters to inquire, "what luck .

CinchOna in India.

In 1859 Mr.. Clements Markham, a
very experienced Peruvian traveller,
drew the attention of the British Indl an
government TO the capabilities of East
India for cinchona cultivation, and a
systematic expedition was formed to in
vestigate the various kinds of cinchona
Ia all parts of Peru. In all, three ex-
plOring parties went, each having a boz
tanic expert. They all had to encounter
great difficulties, arising out of the IN
tense jealousy of the natives, who OBJ
jected to specimens or seeds leaving the
country, and Mr.. Markham had to trans
nit his plants by so circultous q route
that they reached India dead. He had,
however, taxed the precautIon of secur-
ing seeds sent after him, from which
plants were raised. Mr.. Prltchett, head
of one of the parties, also lost all
his plants, but Mr.. Spruce, of the
third, was luckier, au1 some of his seed
ings and plants were most successful
at Kew and sent thence to India. In
1862 Mr. McIvon, govern ment botanlst
IN India, had raised from these various
sources 81, 495 plants which by the end
Of 1874 had increased to j. 1870, 45S.
Large numbers have been yearly dis
tributed to other public plantations and

its expenses, but is in possession of a

NEWS OF THE WEEK
THE DUBLIN ASSASSINATION.

i great sensation was caused in the trial of
the Phoenix Park murderers on the 18th inst,
wecn James Carey, one of the prisoners. un-
eXpectedly took the stand aud made long
confession. giving the history of various
secret organizations formed for the purpose of
assassinating officials and to remove all
tyrants." He described the several attempts
that were made to murder Forster and Earl
CoWper by the Dublin branch of the " Invn-
cibles, attempts, however, which were frus-
trated by some unforeseen accident. 1t was
after Curley became chairman Of the council
that the murder Of Burke was determined
upon, the inylncibles having decided to con
centrate all their efforts on him after Forster
lett Ireland. All the prisoners except James
Nulett, met at the park on May 6, and the
witness infinitely detailed the movements of
the conspirators on the morning of the mur-
der, confrmIng in every detail Kayanagh's
confession. Brady is the man. he said, who
first stabbed Burke, and when Lord Cavendish
attempted to rescue the latter, he also was at
tackled and murdered. Carey formally identi-
fed all the prisoners who, during his testi-
mony, frequentlv called hinia ''petiared liar F."
and scoundrel. His story created a profound
sensation.

Why Women Teachers do M, worrr

A school officer the other day said to a
correspondent of the Buffalo Courier.
" Few teachers die; none resign. and
hardly any get married" A question ON
the latter point led him further. "Tt is
true, be continued, every few teachers
get married. OF course [ mean women
teachers. You would like to know wby?
Well the reason is plain enough. or
rather the reasons. In the first place.
young woman appointed as a teacher
secures a position for life. She cannot
be removed except for ineompetepcv or
improper conduct. Her position is as
sured, with steady promotion ahead.
She receives a good salary-better. as a
rule, than she could get In any other oc-
cupation. In a word, her appointment
as teacher makes her independent.
She knows that her place is safe and her
salary sure, ana her work IS not very
bard. OF course, it is natural for a
young women to get married; but most
young women now a-days, especially the
bright ones, look before they leap.
Could the teachers improve their con-
dition by giving up the schools for lus-
bands? They evidently do not think so.
They know what they have, and they DO
not know what they might get by chang
ing off TO matrimony; so they remain
single, live comfortably, and dress

sumed Name to Escape the Reporters
He II Entirely Nsn-committaIO on Politics
and Legislative Subjects.
Especial Telegram to the Globe,l
CHICAGO, Dec. Ex-senator d. M. Sa-
bin, Of Minnesota, chairman of the nation
al Republican committee, reached the
city yesterday on his way to his north
western home. The senator was register
ed at the Grand Pacific under an assumed
nane, SO great was his desire to escape
the vigilance of the press, but he was
finally coralled and asked to
give up what political news he might pos
sess. ''You know" he replied, shat 1
have but just begun to warm my seat, and
besides am the youngest in the senate.
My recent election to the craftsmanship of
the national committee has drawn public
attention to me, and I am held up to the
public geze as marvellous example of
cheek. It will not do for me to be too
fresh under the circumstances, and air
my opinions on public matters.
The principal thing which I suppose
led to my selection for the position
was the fact that neither was nor had
been identified with either the stalwart
OR half breed wing of the party. I kept
clear of the third term fight, and although
WAS at heart for Blame, still went with
my state and was one of the immortal ten
who kept voting for Window"
The senator would not be drawn into q
discussion of the prospects of candidates
for the nomination, saying that it would
be breech of etiquette on his part as
chairman of the national committee to
do SO, but it was not hard to infer
that he still leans to Arthur as he has in the
past. When asked what important legis
lation would come up this winter he re-
ferred to the Hennepin canal, and said that
as a senator from Minnesota he would
certainly support the measure. The people
of the entire northwest were in favor of
cheap transportation to the seaboard, and
this the canal would accomplish by con-
Meeting the Mississippi with the lake sys-
tenn. In regard to the tariff question,
Senator Sabin thought the competition of
the committee of ways and means
indicated that bill reducing the tariff
materially would be reported to the house.
Even if it passed that body he did not be-
lieve it would touch bottom in the senate,
as there was majority in that body ia
vorable to the adequate protection of
American industries. The session prom
ised to be long one, and no one could
foresee what it might bring forth.
The Times concludes its interview with
Senator Sabin as follows: While not COM
hitting himself as friend and adherent
of Logan, the senator gave the impression
that he was such, and that il he had ever
been for Arthur the Illinois influence had
converted him. Though Collector Spald-
ing made call upon him as usual, "Long'
Jones did also, and the latter was quoted
as having said confidently, "He's our
man."
