Few of those wearing a sealskin
sacque have any knowledge of the pro-
cess taken by which the skins are pre-
pared for use. Seen when first taken
from the animal they little resemble
the warm glossy skins worn upon the
streets, for until dyed and cured they
are of a light brown hue, coarse and
full of sand. Befole becoming valu-
able they are shayen down on the flesh
side until not thicker than paper, the
long hairs are pulled ont and the fur
dyed. The cost of the article is due to
the labor expended on it. The raw
skins are scld in London, where the
finishing is done and then shipped back
to America, where they are sold with
a heavy duty added. The killing sea
sou in Alaska begins about the 18th of
June, and the 90 600 skins are usually
ready for shipment a month later. The
work of slaughtering the animals is
done by natives who live upon the st.
Paul and St. George Islands and the
process is an interest ing one. When
skins are wanted the natives go to the
rookeries, station themselves along the
shore betw cen the seals and the water,
and at Il gwen signal spring TO their
feet and make as much noise as posi-
be The frightened victims, timid as
deer, then stampede up the beach and
are driven like sheep IA few miles inland,
until their captorS attack them with
hickory clubs. Being knocked sense
less they are stabbed with long, sharp
knives, and the skins are quickly strip
ped from the bodies. The work is di-
yldGd among the mcn-S0me knocking
the seals down, others stabbing them
and still others taking off the skins.
The native Indians number about 800,
and under the term OF the lease are
provided gratis by the company with
warm houses, sixty tons of coal, a doc
tor and a sclio0lmaster, salmon and
other necessities aud comforts. For
their labor the men are paid some $40,
600 altogether each season, a sum more
than sufficient to meet the limited
needs Of life in a region Of almost per-
petual fogs aud utter isolation.

Jersey Oyster Interest.

Governor Albeit and the Riparian

Investigation of the oyster interests of
the Southern coast and Delaware Bay

grievances and recorded their reform

The party proceeded to Maurice
River Cove, which spreads over fifty
square miles or about $4,000 acres of
water. 1t contains between 1000 and
1000 separately staked beds, and is
under the charge of an association
which is governed and protected by
special legislative enactHients. This
association is intensely odiouS to the

Owirg Il. the illness of State Treas
urer Wright, New Jersey is not able
to pay her debts. Bills have been
audited by the comptroller and checks
drawn for payments, but they have to
have the signature of Mr. Wright
before they are worth anything. The
embarrassment is slight now, but should
it continue up to Jan. LIST it would be
serious, as salaries for the quarter and
for the year will be due them. Mr..
Wright is so sick That I've could not sign
the bills il they weTe taken to his home
at Bordcutown. The Governor can
appoint a Treasurer protein. at any
time. but he does not IA to do so.
The Constitution of the State provides
that during sickness OF inability, :"
the Governor may appoint. Wright is
a Republican, and the Governor would
appoint "a Democrat.

WASHINGTON LETTER

" hington, Dec. "a, 1884.
The weeks work la Congress EN-.
braces debates in the Senate on
Dakota's fitness Tor Statehood; speeches
on the silver question; discussion of
neutrality-suspicious.; passing attention
to Indian land leases; the reception of
new bills; and secret sessions on the
| question of considering the Spanish
treaty with oPen doors. In the House
of Representatives, Interstate Com
merce has been the chief question OF
discussion, and the Dill for a Depart
ment of Agriculture WAS passed.
Dakota went safely through the
Senate on her way into The Union.
There were only t~wenty-eight Demo-
cratic Senators to dispute her eligibility
against thirty-fOur Republicans to say
she was more than welcome. Senator
Van Wyck long since placed himself
| on record, and his resolution to secure
public consideration of them cane Hp
i'll the Senate the other day. That
dignilied body vas too loyal TO its ira
ditions to agree to such an innovation
at onre, and referred the Matter to the
Committee N Foreign Affairs. a
number of protests against the ratifi-
cation of the treaty have been presen-
ted by Senators Ingalls,, Congcr and
Logan. Many of them are from labor
organizations and tobacco and cigar
manufactures.
Senator Beck in his silver argument,
said silver had never had fair treat
ment by any administration. He
reflected upon Senator Sherman's polit-
ical action while Secretary of the
Treasury, and also upon the recent
statement of the Comptroller of the
Currency, that the Silver Coinage law
was unworthy of this great nation.''
The Kentucky Senator thought such
iecturing of Congress by a nan who
was NICE a Department clerk was
ulwarrantable impudence. In reply,
the Senator from Ohio defended Mr..
Cannon, who it tarned out had never
been . Government clerk. 81 do not
care retorted Senator Beck, "whether
he was a clerk or as great a man as
the Senator from OHIO, and that eX-
hausts comparison. | deny the right

1t looks as if the Interstate Com

House after having advanced close to
its passage by a strong majority. A

railroads. to provide equal accOmoda-
tions for persons bearing tickets Of
equal cost. This has met with bitter
opposition from the So lthern members,
who lock upon it as an attempt to
enforce negro equality in railroad
travel. The bill has been encountered
with amendments, and from various

The Governor was unable TO find 10
his enti,e trip hardly three men who
agteed on the oyster question. 1t was
plainly evident, however, that he has
his own views, which have been
strengthened by what we saw and
heard on his tour. These Will De
embodied in his message to the Legls-
lature and their enactment into laws
recommended. He is Of the opinion
that the State should derive a venue
from the oyster industry, as does Mary
band, Virginia and Connecticut. He
holds that these clam and oyster
grounds are the property Of the State,
as the Supreme Count has 50 decided,
and the State so acted with its riparian
rights in Hudson c0un'y. These
glouids, he contends, should there
tore be sold or leased. A portion of
the material beds should I've taken by
TIE Stale for spawning grounds
Tie scarcity IF the plant is becoming
a grave question, aud in the opinion Of
senator Miller, OF GIppe May, is tie
paramount one Of the entire oyster
subject. The Governor is also yrgor-
ously opposed t. the munopolizatlnn OF
choice grounds. The Commission
found, as an i~ussauce, that lna1,
George Ilildreth, had stakcd off the
whole of Jaryis Sound, and was unable
to cultivate it. 1t would he as well to
state that the Governor does not favor
Il police establishment, which would
entail a large cost upon the State. But

the manner in which tile oyster is

Governor Albeit will he a brave man
to tackle The Jersey oyster question,
as the politicians of that State have
heretofore religiously avoided it, be-
cause the oystermen WELD a powerful
political influence and represent great
wealth. "But,' Is he says, ''some-
thing las got to be done, and somebody
will have to be hurt"

A circular has been circulated in
many places, a copy Of which We have
received, which is entitled the Last
Message to the House OF Israel; (or
AdventyC hurchl." 1t contains a scrip
tural Interpretation by o. b. Kali, of
Woodruff, H., which claims that the
coming of the Lord viii take place on
Sunday, January 4tb, 1885. Some
think that he has missed the mark by
TWO mouths. IL should be March 4th.
