One Thing That He 1aoketh.

From Speech OF Gov. Waller, of Connecticut /
"Gov. Cleveland's great competitor
may be as eloquent as Robert Ingcr-
soil, who dubbed him Il knight, and
as brilliant historian as Macaulcy,
to whom Gen. lIawlcy takes pleasure
in comparing him. But there is one
thing he lacketh, without which he
cannot have the respect of the people
Of America. Proof OF this weakness
does not depend upon others. lie
has within week confessed ii him
self. In the late election in the State
Of Maine the prohibitory amendment
was submitted to the vote of the peo-
pie. The country was watchful Of
the action Of Citizen Blaine on the
questions. lie was at the polls with Il
yes and a mo- ballot in his right and
left hand. In pity behold him as he
stands confronting that dilemma
Laughter If he votes mo- he will
lose, he thinks, the support Of politi-
cal saints. If he votes yes, the sup
port of political sinners. Laughter, !
lie hesitates and lle is lost. Zap
plausc. lie looks ON one side and
then on the other, and he votes upon
neither. b Laughtcr.l The orator,
the statesman aud historian has igno-
minlously lodged. Applause lie
tried to sail between Scylla and
Charybdis and touch neither rock,
but he struck upon both. The image
that some Republicans have worship
ed is broken-AIr. Blaine, the plumed
knight of Maine, has shown the
white feather. The act of weakness
in the presence of the nation shows
the lchacacter of the man, and it will,
in my judgment, do him more harm
at the ballot-boX in November than
could the Mulligan letters, if there
were a dose of them every day in The
week" Laughterl

My idea Of q guano island had always
been that it was very rocky and covered
with white substance resembling NOR
tar before the sand is mixed with it. l
imagined, too, that it exhaled an odor
differing somewhat from the orange
groves of Tahiti. Had 1 not been told
that was on guano island l would not
now have known it from the surround
ings. Instead of being rocky tie soil
was mellow and dark, and everywhere
vegetation was most luxuriant. The air
was remarkably clear and pure. Dur
ing a walk around the island then
learned that There are two kinds OF
guano or, rather, that of certain quail
ties which all guano possesses some OF
these qualities predominant in that
found in given locality, while guano
taken from islands differently located
possesses in q much stronger degree
some other essentials. THUS the guano
OF the islands off the coast Of South
America, exposed TO the rays OF tropi'
cal sun, where the surface of the land is
never cooled; and where rain seldom or
never falls, possesses the strongest am
moniacal properties. Not only the e1-
cretions OF birds are deposited there, but
the birds themselves come there TO die
and eggs have frequently been taken out
little below the crust. which form over
these. deposits that are almost pure am
monia. The guano of these islands has
a strong, pungent odor, und is white and
light brown in color But the guano Of
the islands OF the Southern Pacific is
made up Of decomposed cord. forming
mostly phosphates Of lime and magnesia
II is entirely inodorous and OF dark
brown color, resembling well-pulverizet
loan. II is believed that the birds
which in large numbers inhabit these
islands, living, as they do, almost en-
tirely on fish, deposit phosphoric acit
on the coral, and also leave the bones O
the fish, which they cannot eat. Thes'
| decompose the coral, and thus form thu
phosphates which give to the guano it.
value. The guano is separated from thu
coral in the following manner : Their

who gather the earth in large heaps, ant
then screen it in the same manner a
fine coal is separated from coarse. TIL
screens are about eight feet by three
and the iron gauze covering them is fine
allowing only the guano or fine portion
OF the earth to pass through, and leay
ing the coral in the screens. The guam

The Day in Wall Street.

New YORK, May l9.-Affalrs in fnan-
cial circles this morning are going on
much the same as previous to the turbu-
lent events of last week. There Is no rush
or excitement, and the streets in the vi.
cinity of the Exchange are entirely free
from the tumutuous crowds that lately
gathered in them. Since Wednesday last
the attendance of brokers shows no fall
ing off. This morning found them early
at the various Offices and hurrledly pre-
pairing for the opening OF the
market. The Board room at the
opening of business was in marked
contrast with the closing days of last
week. All was quiet and orderly. There
was no rushing of brokers from one stock
crowd to another, and there was an en-
tire absence OF any excitement whatever
Transactions were upon small scale,
and the support apparent at the opening
on Friday and Saturday did not manifest
itself.
Prices began to 60 off from the first while
the pressure to sell increased every mo-
ment. Louisville & Nashville, Central Pa
citic, Lackawanna, Lake Shore, Missouri
Pacific, Pacific Mail and Reading were
especially weak the first half hour and
recorded the greatest declines, At 1880
a. m. the decline for nearly the whole list
ranged IL to per cent. In the next
half hour there was slight rally in some
stocks, but now the market is very weak

South India Observation-Disclosures for
Two New Corresponding Secretaries.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May l9.-In the
Methodist Conference the conservation Of
the Bishops elect was fixed for Thurs
day. The Committee on Missions re-
ported that permission had been granted
for division of the South India Confer
ence into two annual conferences during
quadrennium if the exigencies of the case
may demand. Rev. Dr.. Leonard, of Gin
cinnati, said that unless greater harmony
prevails in the future than in the
past the smaller the delegation from
India the better. Anappeal was made to
Bishop Foster. He stated that in his
opinion there was no demand now for
two conferences in South India. The
report of the committee was adopted.
The Committee on Missions recon-
mended the election of two coordinate
Corresponding Secretaries for the Mis-
sionary Society. Adopted. The Con-
ference proceeded to vote Revs. Drs.
Reid, of Michigan, and McCabe, of
New York, Grucher, Of Baltimore, Hare,
of New York, Fitzgerald, of Newark,

Women's Rights at the South.

ATLANTA, GA, May l9.-Women's
rights are quietly progressing In Georgia
Judge Hammond lts just had presented
TO him petition of lady to be appoint
ed trustee for the control of the prop
erty of her children. The petitioner Is
Mrs, Matte c. Bass who asks to BIO made
the successor of the late G.. ii. Bass, who
was the trustee OF an es-
tate belonging to his children.
So far as can be ascertaincd
from accessible records, no lady has here
tofore ever been vested with such trus-
teeship in Georgia, and the question of
her eligibility was raised when the petit
ton was presented. Judge Hammond
could find nothing in the laws OF Georgia
to prevent her from being eligible to OF
flee, and AS she is the natural guardian OF
the children, he passed an order appoint
ing her Trustee. She will give proper
bond and take charge of the estate AT
once.
