BEYOND THE SEA.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.---The terrible and
universal depression Of trade threatens to drive
every other question into the background.
Things have gone so far that the newspapers
have now sent special correspondents to the
distressed towns in the North Of England,an and
they fill their journals with tales of dreadful
destitution caused by the almost complete
standstill of the shipbuilding trade. The
other trades Of the country are making the
same complaints. No mine is worked at full
time. Wheat-growers declare that the crop
does not pay for wages, to say nothing Of rent.
The tea merchants assert that each pound sold
wholesale brings penny less than was given
at the China port; and so on. Under these
circumstances the cry for n return to protec-
tion was inevitable, AMI the Tory leaders are
seriously flirting with the question. Churchill
has, of course, gone further than anybody else,
and has provoked the decorous Spectator to
the remark that he is the one real demagogue in
England, and that he is capable, II he can SO
charm the masses, TO vote down not only the
Ten Commandments, but the multiplication
table.
In France politics are in condition Of pam
ic, and mixed protection Is now the universal
gospel, owing to the bad prices Of wheat and
filing up the awful chasm of National debt.
Ferry is supposed to have good chance of
staying in power because Of the closeness Of
the general election and the hold he has over
the future fortunes Of existing Deputies by his
control Of the officeholding and other admins
trative machinery Of the country.
The Emperor and Empress Of Germany are
at Baden and are looking remarkably well.
The physicians, however, say that the Empe-
have forbidden him to take outdoor exercise
until the weather is more settled. The En-
peror will return to Berlin next Friday, and he
has promised to attend the Inauguration Of
the new Polytechnicum Charlottenburg the I'd
prox. He had intended also TO assist at the
opening Of the great Kaiser Wilhelm
University at strasburg the 9th inst,
but the doctors have forbidden
him to undertake the journey, and
Baron Won Manteuffel, the Governor OF
Alsacc- Lorraine, will ofiiciate as the Empcror's
ing of this magnificent institution are on the
most elaborate scale. All the German officials
and residents Of the conquered province are
full of enthusiasm over the event, and regard
1t as one OF national significance. The festivi-
ties will begin Sunday, the Goth inst. In the
afternoon there will be a formal presentation
TO the students of a gorgeous silk banner,
worked by the ladies of Munich. Sunday even
Ing there will be torcbllght procession and q
banquet. The official opening Of the university
by Baron Won Manteuffel will take place Mon
will he given Monday and Tuesday evenings.
The French residents Of Srrasburg look gloom
lily on at these preparations, and the comments
OF the Paris papers are exceedingly bitter. The
writer's regard the establishment Of tn uni
versity and the grand fetes which are to in
auguratc 1t as intended to seal forever the Ger
man occupation Of Alsace-Lorraine.

Gov. Cleveland Assaulted.

ALBANY, NEW YORK, October 90.
The city was thrown into great excitement
this morning by the report that Governor
Cleveland had been assaulted while on his way
from the Executive Mansion to the Capitol.
Some reports had It that he had been assassin
ated, and others that he had been fatally
wounded. These reports spread with marvel
GUS rapidity, and soon hundreds thronged to
che Capitol and sought out the Governors
room to inquire as to the foundation for the
ruu-ors an6 the condition OF the Governor. As
Is usually the case, there was some slight
foundation for the rumor upon which the
superstructurc Of fiction had been built in
passing from mouth tn mouth.
Stripped OF all embeliabment the facts are
substantially as follows: AS Governor Cleve-
land was going from the Executive Mansion
was assaulted in front Of the Medical College
on Eagle street by Samuel Boone OF Elmirn, ,whp
struck at the Governor with his right hand.
The blows was warded off and the man repeat
I'd bis blows several times without hitting the
Governor's face. He then dartrd towards
nile Of cobDle stones, but was interrupted by
DR.. George H. Hougbton before he obtained u
missile. Boone returned to the attack on the
G vernon, when Houghton seized aud held
him and the Governor deliberately resumed
his walk.
Bu,ne was released and went quickly to his
boarding house In Lancaster street, where he
Was arrested shortly afterward. DR.. Hough-
ton overlook the Governor and conversed
briefly with him about the ass ,ult The Gov
ernor proceeded to the Capitol, allndiug only
casually to the matter to The attaches Of his
flee. In the Police Court, Boone pleaded not
as he wanted to telegraph to Judge B ,srdnan
smith OF the Supreme Court to defend him
The case was put down for Wednesday after
loon.
Boone, who assaulted the Governor. had un-
successfully solicited pard' n for his brother
in-law, who IL confined In Auburn prison for
shooting man in Chemung county one y.ar
ago. Boone met the Governor as he was walk
ing over Eagle street from the Executive Man
sion to the Capitol about o O'Clock this morn
ing, and struck at him, at the same time ut
tering an oath. Governor Cleveland threw up
his srm and warded of the blow. Several per
ran after the man and captured him, whil'
Governor Cleveland at once proceeded TO the
Executive Chamber.

MINING MATTERS.
cry.tailIxed Gold in pri.matIc Forms.

Crystnluzed Gold In Prismatlc Forms.
American Journal of Science.
Near Clancy, on Clancy creek, Jefferson
county, Montana, minute crystals OF gold oc-
cur which present the novelty OF gold scta-
hedral neucleus, or head, with long, divergent
brush-like or prismatic development Of the
gold on one side, or angle, giving the whole
the appearance OF the drawings usually made
to represent comets. The total length Of these
crystals does not exceed from two to three
millimeters tabout one eighth of an Inch), and
the minuteness OF the cross-section OF the deli
cate divergent prisms makes 1t extremely diff
cult to determine their form. They are, also,
very brittle, and they appear TO cleaye or
break asunder In planes at right ang'cs to
their length. Under the microscope these
prisms are seen TO have three or more planes
aud they appear to be hexagonal. They taper
gradually and uniformly to sharp point, and
are sometimes composite, being for part Of
their length formed OF two or more prismk
Joined side by side.
Among the fragments, one, larger and
broader than the Others, exhibits solid octa-
hedrsl nucleus with fat or plate-like projec-
tion on opposite sides This projection shows
distinctly on one side iiue Of composition
through the center, with divergent lines or
markings at an angle OF 45o with the medal
line, corresponding in angle and Ia direction
Of this plate which shows the medal line OF
composition is slightly trough-shapc5, being
formed Of TWO plane surfaces inclined toEards
the medal line. The opposite side is rough,
with angular projections.
These pla e-l,ke projections from the octa-
hebron are much larger than the iri.mt, but IL
IL probable that the origin and capitalization
of both are similar. The plates have the ap-
pearancc Of being formed by the comb.na,ioH
or twinning Of octohedrohs parallel with their
faces, with their main axis inclined towards
each other ut an angle Of co degrees.

Deadly Pets.

Prairie Farmer.
Some time ago three children of a
family at Amsterdam, New York,
were stricken with diphtheria, intervals
Of several months occurring between
the cases. The circumstances were Pc
culiar, and attracted considerable at
tention. A committee appointed by
the Board of Health investigated the
surroundings Of the house, but discov.
cred nothing of nature to superin-
duce the disease. They did find, how
ever, that a few days before the first
child was attacked it had fondled cat
which was suffering from q swollen
throat, and discharge from the nose
and mouth. During its illness the
child played with a doll. This doll
was some weeks later given as play
thing to a younger child, which short
ly fell sick with diptheria and died.
The doll next fell to the third child,
which in turn was attacked by the
same dread disease. 1t is believed by
the committee that the cat was the
primary cause of the diptheria out.
break, and that the doll transmitted
the disease by germs held in its cloth
ing.
Surprising the conclusion correct,
have we not in every household one or
more pets whose ailments must be
watched as closely as those Of the chill
dren themselves? Animal pets at best
receive too much fondling. When
showing symptoms of disease in any
form, cats and dogs should never be
caressed by children or adults; their
place is in the "hospitalP or under the
sod. With hydrophobia developing in
dogs, and diphtheria in cats, it looks
as though our. children's playthings
must be limited to automatic dolls, and
the hundred and one pleasing and in
structive mechanical devices of the
day, to picture books and the like.

Storing Furs in Summer.

"When we put furs into storage for
the season." said furrier recently,
sour first care is to beat them thor
oughly with rattans to drive the dust
out, and get rid of the moth-eggs that
may have been laid in them, or been
blown into them from the air. Yhis
done, they are hung on wire frames
that distend them, and put into closets
that are lined with tar paper. Moths
cannot stand the strong odor of tar,
and never live long under its influence.
Every three or four weeks the furs are
taken from the closets, and beaten
with rattans and so, in the course of
season, every article has to be han.
died at least a dozen times. In old
times camphor w@ used; but it has
been discovered that it had tendency
to detract from their color, and make
them much lighter in hue. l suppose
there is something in the dyes used
for sable and other dark iurs that
camphor influences. Old women still
use that drug, however; and when
you see a sealskin sack, or cloak, or
dolman, that shows streaks of gray or
a muddy yellow, you can be sure that
it has been kept in camphor through
the hot weather. The whole secret of
keeping furs is to beat all the dust out
of them, and then keep them in u
close closet impregnated with the odor
of tar. Another old preventive was
pepper, either cayenne or common
black, but this has been abandoned /;
and some good housekeepers used to
keep their furs in tobacco cuttings. |
have seen moths flourish in tobacco;
and where | have seen insect.powders
used, they have sometimes injured the
furs in some way, or have been totally
useless in guarding them from their
bitter foe.
Another desideratum in storing
furs is strict cleanliness. We wash all
the closets every spring with water
and common washing soda, and the
latter serves to destroy any moth>eggs
that may have got into the place.
Thus our closets are never invaded by
the moth; but should We show care
lessness for single week the result
would be disastrous. Mufs, collars,
and other small articles, we keep in
boxes, packing with them sufficient tar
paper to keep out the moths, and the
shelves on which they stand are Ell
ways kept free from dust. Popular
