A vERITABLE peanut war is raging at Norfolk,
Virginia, and it is no small affair as the trade
there amounts to millions annually. The con-
troversy grows out of scale of weights and prices
adopted by the buyers which sellers refuse to
accept as arbitrary and unjust. After a meet
of representatives of the different views, at
which agreement was reached, an appeal
was taken to the growers. While this is going on,
the trade is dead, and it may be sometime before
a compromise is reached.

Brighter Prospects for the Avoid

Rate War.
Mr.. Hughitt of the Northwestern In
Inmates Willingness to
Come to Time,
And Meeting of General Managers Will be
Held With Probable Satisfactory
Results.

Especial Telegram tn the Globe


CHICAGO, March 15.-The Northwestern
traffic association expired to-day by limitation
of the Rock Island notice of withdrawal and
all OF the lines between Chicago and st. Paul
up to o'clock in the afternoon were
actively engaged in preparing for the
struggle which was morally certain
to begin bright and early Monday morning.
AT about that hour, however, the local agents
OF the four st. Paul lines were greatly aston
ished by receiving instructions to strictly
maintain rates until further orders. 1t was
evident from this sudden and unexpected
change in the programme that something of
unusual moment had TRANSFERRED.
The Northwestern, it will be remembered,
had, at the recent managers meeting, put
an end to the deliberations by refusing to
submit the question of percentages to arbi-
tration, while the st. Paul, Rock Island and
burlington were in favor of such medium OF
settlement. About o'clock Mr.. Hughitt called
at the Office of we'll known gentleman who,
while not connected in an official capacity
with any lines, yet sustains intimate relations
with all. Mr.. Hughitt impaired the intelli
gence that he was ready to attend meet
Ing OF the general managers at the earliest
moment and intimated that he thought the
result might be satisfactory to all.
Prompt measures were taken to acquaint
the other lines with the new light that had
broken upon the situation. President Cable
was on his way home from Colorado, expect
ing to spend Sunday at Rock Island and to
reach Chicago Monday. He was at once tele-
graphed and came right ON to Chicago, reach
ing the city late in the afternoon.
Roswell Miller, assistant general manager
and acting manager of the st. Paul, was in
Milwaukee, he was also notified, and board
ing special train was in Chicago about 2
O'Clock. As soon as Mr. Cable arrived he
held long conference with w. M. Sage
general freight agent and Thomas f. With
row, general solicitor of the road. At its
conclusion Mr.. Cable and Mr.. Miller
held short conference at the Grand Pacific
hotel. Both gentlemen were apparently very
we'll pleased at the change of the state of af-
fairs, and the conference assumed the nature
OF jubilee, because the threatened demon
alization was in fair way to be averted.
Not expecting Mr.. Cable home till Monday
it was the intention to hold the general con-
ference Tuesday, but Mr.. Cable stated this
evening that while the date was not fixed the
meeting would probably take place Monday.
In the meantime rates will be maintained
and if the conference results as indications
would seem to point, the per centage matter
will be referred to commissioner of arbitra-
cion and peace will reign once more.

THE governor of Delaware has granted the
most singular reprieve on record. Upon the Sth
of September last Lewis F. List shot unto death
Geo. Taylor. List boarded with Mrs. Dean,
when asked to pay his board bill he became
angry and assaulted the lady. Her nephew,
young Taylor, interfered, and was shot.
Upon the trial of the case
List was found guilty of murder in the first de-
gree, and sentenced to be hanged, upon Friday
last, March IA, The governor was appealed to
grant reprieve until May 2, 1910. List is now
twenty-five years of age, with reasonable
chance of living out his sentence, though of
the probability is about equal that he will
not live so long. At the best his prospect is not
a cheerful one.

CURRENT cOM1MENTs.

A REPORT has become current that Gen. Grant,
who is at Old Point Comfort for his health S
sake, is suffering more in health from inordinats
smoking, than from his last winters fall on the
ice. Excessive smoking affects the nervous sys-
TEN of the smoker, and is known to produce
tremors not unlike delerium tremens. The
s'greatest CITIZEN of the United States, it
seems is not great enough to practice self-denial
in curbing his appetites. Apropos Of this SUBJ
ject is the French test of tobacco juice as an in
sect destroyer in hot houses. Instead of burn
ing or smoking the tobacco. it is soaked or boil
ed, the juice is then placed over chatting dish, q
fire or the flames of an ordinary lamp, and de-
posted in the greenhouses and conservatory.
Delicate plants which are very sensitive to smoke
are not injured by this vapor, and it leaves no
offensive atmosphere, while it effectually dis
poses of thrips, scales, insects and slugs. One
quart of tobacco juice vaporized in house con
tanning $50 cubic feet is an ample amount.

MIR. BLAINE ANSWERS,
And a Democratic Campaign Slande
Promptly Crushed.

And a Democratic Campaign Slander
Promptly Crushed.
From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazstte,
July y.
The Democrats have been busy circu-
lating rumors to the effect that Mr.. Blaine
is an owner in the coal companies of the
Hooking Valley, where the strikes are in
progress. The Hon. Fl. S. Bundy ac-
quainted Mr.. Blaine with these rumors,
and received the following reply, which
effectually disposes of all the charges
BAR HARBOR, Me-, July %, 1884.
THE Hon. Ii. S, BUNOY: Dear Sir:
In answer to your recent favor l beg to
say that am not and never have been
the owner of any coal lands or iron lands,
or lands Of any character whatever in the
Hooking Valley or in any part of Ohio.
Nor have | at any time owned a share
of stock in any coal, iron or land COM
pany in the State of Ohio Five
years ago l loaned $12,5 500 to a
member of the Standard oil company,
and took the bonds Of the company as
collateral. I shall be happy to transfer
the bonds to any gentleman who is am
bilious to pay the debt. l am interested
in coal lands in Pennsylvania and in
West Virginia, but there has never been
the slightest trouble with laboring men
in any enterprise with which have been
connected. This, l believe, covers all
the points of your inquiry.
''Very sincerely,

--------------N . - Q ----------------------
THE TERRIBLE TRUTH,

A word spoken in due season often
has its ready reward. Walking into a
saloon where a man was just about toss
ing off q schooner of lager, a friend of
Temperance stepped up to the bar, and
laying his hand on the mans arm said /:
"My friend, do you know that you arc
about putting an enemy into your mouth
to steal away your brains n The beer
bibber looked at the friend oftemperancc
in stupid wonder as he exclaimed, what
sycr givn s % Not only is beer an in
tOxicant' continued the f. Of t., ''but it
contains adul:erants hurtful to health. 1t
is n fruitful cause Of sickness and death. J"
The beer bibber deigned not word in
reply to this, but with q sCOrnful gesture
raised the glass to his lips. In another
instant it would have been drained to the
bottom. The f. Of t., made one more ap-
peal. "Know you not, he sid, "that
that beer is 95 per cent water y The
glass came down with crash on to the
marble bar and was shivered to atoms,
the beer which it had contained flowing
in an unnoticcd stream upon the floor.
"Great Caesar I" cried the beer -bibber,
"why didn't you say that the first
thing?" And he wiped the beady per
spiration from his brow as he added,
Stranger, but that was a mighty narrer
escape Ninety-fiye per cent. of water

DRESSED IN FINE FEATHERS.

From the Columbia S G. Daily Register
Some of our lady customers (says a
dealer in fine cOstumes) won't buy any
thing unless it is expensive. Last winter
a lady came to ne and said; "Mr. R,
there is going to be masquerade in
Cleveland next month, and | wish to
have the handsomest and most original
dress Can you promise to supply it p
81 can" said l. "What will be the char
acter you would suggest?' said she. 81
think" said l, that Madame-would-
look we'll iii q bird of paradise costume. }"
She gave me the order and l made train
dress of the feathers Of the red, superb
king and other famous birds of paradise
that cost $500. That is, it cost her that.
| had bought the skins the day before
from q man who got them from Mr.. Hol-
land at a loss. Between you and me,
they cost me $3.50. But after all l came
near losing her as customer. She had a
friend who [ imagine was something of a
rival. and several days after l received
the first order she came in and told me
about the same story and also wanted the
best costume. "You know what some of
the costumes are to be, don't you?" she
asked, looking me in the eye. l con-
fessed that did. ''Well, and here she
handed me bill, and big one; "this is
a retainer that | am not outshined. !"
You can wager she was not.
"What was the costumeY the re-
porter asked.
'Tt was made up entirely of the breasts
of humming birds, was rich metal pur-
pie and l don't know how many skins
used in it. But it was considered the
prize costume. OF course the other lady
came to me in rage, and the only way
l saved my hair was by telling her that
her dress cost the most and was the
richest and in the best taste"

A NASTY SUBJECT.
Now York Star.


Amongthe small fry that the mixed poll
tics of Gotham have brought to the front
is little Bohemian, halfnaturalized,
halfcivilized creature called Tom Mast.
Without the ability to draw on wood or
sanvas with any warmth or color, he had
a lampooning gift when he was fresh that
made his scratchy, :.inartistic sketches ac-
ceptable for the moment to the public.
He happened to hit off the face of Tweed
once or twice in exaggerated form, and
followed it up with frequent repetitions.
So, when the ''Boss" fell, Mast cheekilv
claimed all the credit and set himself up
for politician of the pencil.
Some people would persist in mistaking
him for an artist about this time. Among
these was jim Bennett, who one day in
1870, or thereabouts, when he was less
himself than usual, from the old, old
cause, offered Tom a chance to make a
cartoon for the Telegram. Mast scratched
off q wretched caricature of Ben Butler
end Carl Schurz, which he called THE
War of the Two Houses the Senator
and Representative being depicted as the
wrangling servants of the Montagues and
Capulets and Jim, who didn't know any
better, paid for it. And how much do
you suppose Mast had the heart to take
from Jim in his condition Actually, five
The state journal., 1884-08-02
hundred dollars for this ole alleged car-

hundred dollars for this ole alleged car-
toon.
And then what did Mast dof He went
to Harper's (where he was under con-
tract) and made a sketch for that weeks
issue of jim Bennett drunk, dragging a
toy yacht after him, and with a whisky
bottle protuding from his pocket. Then
he went to Bennett and solicited and got
jobs every week for thee or four months,
taking his money without a blush.
George William Curtis sickened of this
fellow, and when he got control of Har-
per's published nothing from his pencil
ior year or two; but as there is nasty
work to do in this political campaign,
they bring out the Nasty man from his
back obscurity and let him loose to fling
mud. He has lost his old skill, and there
is an apparent shakiness in the strokes of
his pencil. His day and Office have. gone
by. Let Curtis bury him again in the
muck heap.

WON ss IN somr fSniAs eainns.

Some very curious facts have been
brought to light recently in paper by
nj. Lucian Carr assistant curator Of the
Peabody Museum at Cambridge. He
has been investigating the social and DO
litical condition of women among the
Huron -Iroquis Indian tribes Wendell
Phillips used to say that the North Ameri-
can Indian race was superior to the
white in all the attributes of honor and
manliness, because they were ruled by
their women. Mr.. Carr's paper proves
it is mistaken notion that the women
among these ancient Indian tribes were
slaves and beasts Of burden. Among all
the tribes east of the Mississippi and
south of the Cumberland the ultimate
authority rested with the women. The
descent of the chiefs was in the female
line. The son Of sachem could not
succeed him. 1t must be the son of the
chiefs sister or of relative on the
mothers side. Women made all the
matches and ruled married couples after
they were welded. The wife had the
right Of divorce equally with the hus
band, and to her belonged the wigwam
and all therein. When separation was
had the wife packed her lord off to find
HeW nome. 1DeTe WAS d D6TleCl system
of patriarchal rule in families, but the
patriarchs were, in fact matriarchs. Man
was gloriously under woman's thumb
from his birch bark cradle to his grave.
The women held a council of their own,
apart from that of the chiefs, and de-
cided what should be done Then the
waiting chiefs and men went and exc
cuted their commands They elected the
chiefs, and war and peace were in their
own hahds. The children belonged
TO them. The man could not go upon
the war path without the womans per
mission. AS often as she pleased, how
ever, she could send him out TO take cap
ii es for slaves Instead Of having all
the life and spirit worked out Of her she
really did not have SO hard time as our
own pioneer mothers Finally, by way
of rubbing in of indignities, polygamy
was not allowed, but occasionally q
woman took unto herself several hus-
hands

MIR. Blaine's nomination is, therefore, a
blow to every sound English Liberal, and
would be even if he were not SO pro-

Jingo of the most extreme type. He has
always defended what isNin principle a
policy of conquest. He is believed to
hold that the time has arrived when the
United States should become the North
American Republic, should persuade the
Canadian Dominion to join it and should
extend its direct authority down the
