MIR. PAYNE NOT A CANDIDATE.
Declaring That He isnOt n Candidate
for the Presidency and Shall not be.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The threat
ened secession of the province of Mani
toba from the Canadian Confederacy if
the Dominion Government should re-
fuse an increased subsidy to the Cana
dian Pacific Railway, caused a Cana
dian resident of Washington, decided
anneXationist, to inquire of the Hon.
Henry B. Payne of Ohio, as Senator
elect and candidate for the Presidency,
what he thought regarding the Demo-
cratic policy in respect to annexation in
case they were restored to power? To
this inquiry Mr.. Payne made the fol-
towing reply:
CLEVELAND, Feb. 10.
-, ESQ.
DEAR SIR: have received your let
ter of the 18th inst. In regard to the
annexation of Canada, it would be suf-
ficient for me to say that am not and
shall not be a candidate for the Presi-
dency; therefore my opinion on the
question can be of no importance. Yet
| if had formed an opinion should not
hesitate to express it, in fact, of late
years, the matter has not been dis
cussed, and there has been no occasion
for cOnsideringit. I have visited Mani
toba, and am somew.at familiar with
the policy of the Dominion, I fear the
Pacific Railroad is:a huge elephant on its
hands; the proposed additional loan or
guarantee is fearful, and will embarrass
seriously, if it does not end in bank
rnptcy. Still / have not examined it
sufficiently to form an opinion. ] am,
respectfully, yours, &c.,
= III. B. PAYNE.

French Detectives.

"The Secret Police" in France are not
only personally unknown to the general
public, but, save in exceptional cases even
TO each other. 1t is known where they
may be found at moments notice when
wanted. but, as a rule, they do not frequent
the Prefecture more than can be helped
They have nothing whatever to do with
serving summonSeS or executing warrants.
There are among them men who have
lived in almost every class of life. and
each of them has what may be called a
special line of business of his own In
the course of their duty some of them mix
with the receivers of stolen goods, others
with thieves, many with what are called in
Paris commercial rascalS, and not few
with those whose industry it is to melt
silver and other property of like valuable
nature. ForSerS, sharpers of all kinds,
housebreakers, and horse stealers-a very
numerous class in Paris-have each and
all their special agents of the police,
who watch them, and know where to
lay hands upon them when they
are wanted 4 French detective who
cannot assume and act up to any character,
and who cannot disguise himself in any
manner so etiectually as not to be rccog-
niZed even by those who know him best is
not considered fit to hold his appointment
Their ability in this way is marvellous.
Some years ago, one of them made bet
that he would in the course of the next
few days address a gentleman with whom
he was acquainted four times, and that he
should not know him on any occasion
until the detective had discovered himself
As a matter of course the gentleman was
on his guard, and mistrusted every one
who came near him. But the man Won
his bet 1t is needless to enter into the
particulars. Suffice it to say that in the
course of the next four days he presented
assistant, tiacre-driver, venerable old
gentleman with a great interest in the
Bourse, and finally as waiter in the hotel
in which the gentleman was staying

visited the so-called Pitch Lake, Trini-
dad, September 30, 1882, landing per
steamer at La Brea, on the west coast of
Trinidad, about forty miles south of the
port of Port-ofSpain. The lake in ques-
ton is about one and one-half miles from
the shore. There is gentle ascent of 40
feet from the shore to the lake. The name
lake " is misnomer, if we understand
by the term cavity containing a liquid
The contents of this cavity, or supposed
cavity. is a concrete, slightly flexible mass
of pitch; it is level plain, on which
bushes and patches of vegetable forma-
tons and pools of water are seen here and
there over the surface. There is no difficulty
i'll walking or wading over il from end to
end or from side to side. The shape of this
plain is a sort of an ellipse or ovoid. The
water in the pools is rain-water, having u
slight iron taste. Arriving on the plateau
| found, first, a number of chestnut-coored
females washing and bleaching linen, and
in other parts Il number of twO-wheeled
carts, drawn each by 4 single horse, in the
act of being loaded with pitch. Scattered
here and there over the surface were to be
seen dark, yellOw-cOlored men with pick
axes digging out large clods of pitch, which
boys gathered out from the pit and piled up
for the carriers The pitch at almost every
blow of the pickaXe broke of with a resi-
nous facture quite easily. Each lump of
pitch exhibited air cavities of the size of a
pigeons egg, larger or smaller. ! was in
formed by the diggers that they never dig
deep enough to find the pitch soft and
plastic; but they asserted that in the course
of a couple of days the cavity which they
had dug would be again level with the sur
rounding plain. This assertion, | think,
must be taken with considerable rcServa-
ton. The pitch deposit, | imagine, like
any other mineral deposit, will become en-
tirely exhausted in the course of time re-
sembling in this respect our oil wells in
Pennsylvania. But il will take a long time
to do this, for the area of this visible de-
posit is about 100 acres, which is equivalent
to 4,360,0O0 feet, and 100000 feet surface
and one foot deep will give the same num-
Der of cubic feet. Now, allowing the
weight of one cubic foot to be 60 pounds it
is really more), we shall get by computa-
ton 261, 100000 pounds, which number di-
vidcd by 2,240, gives 116,67S tons for the
weight of a single layer of pitch on Pitch
lake one foot deep. How deep this pitch
deposit is absolutely is not yet known with
accuracy, or even approximately.-[U United
States Consul Towle's Report.

The festivities AT Pompeii. which began
yesterday and Were continued TODAY, have
been favored by magnificent weather The
expectations of seeing scenes OF ancient Ro-
man life faithfully represented have not
been disappointed. The circus. which has
formed the chief scene of to-day's repre-
sentationS, is situated ON the uneXcavated
ground within sight of the ancient Amphi-
theater. The greatest care has been be-
slowed in initiating an antique Roman
circus, and the result has been most salts
factory. On entering one is struck by the
magniticence of the spina which runs
through the center, and around which the
chariotS raced seven times. 1t is adorned
by two small temples, an obeliSk in the
center, and several statues. The Emperur's )
stand is Spendidly decorated with gilded
eagles, emblemS, trophies, etc. The length
of the circus is 212 meters. 1t Is, of course
not circular, but 4 long parallelogram with
one rounded end opposite to which are sit
uated the cdrcereS, whence the chariotS start.
The position is extremely beautiful, living
| between NeSuvius on the north. circle of
mountains to the east and south, and the
sea in the west.
The imperial procession at ? P. NJ. en-
tered the circus, where about 1000 people,
including Very large percentage of Stran-
gers, were lmpauentlY waiting IN the broll-
ing sunshine. The costumes of the En-
peror NeSpasian, the pretorians on horse
back, Senators, edilcS, lictors. priests, ETC.
but above all, OF a crowd of plebeians, were
excellent, and elected much applause
The Emperor having given the sign for the
commencement of the games, four bigm
dashed from the open carceres on the
course. Unfortunately two lost their
wheels after the first round. More success
full races of the cursores and athletic per
formances followed. OF the bridal and
funeral professions the vocal and musical
accompanimentS proved the most attractive
feature. The effect of the whole was in
jured by the spectators crOwding in upon
the actors in the narrow streets of Pompei
Much is expected of the effect of the gla-
diatorial games in the ancient Amphithe-
ater on Tuesday.
The idea is entertained of repeating the
festival at a more favorable time of the
year, and if it is carried out, advantage will
be taken of the longer time for preparation,
which in the present case was far too short
Moonlight in the ruins of Pompeii, which
is never seen by the general public as no
one is admitted after sunset. was also

beautiful effect.-Pompeii dispatch to the

GRNssHoPPERs.-We are informed, saws
the Folsom TeieNdph that the grasshop-
perS have taken possession of the Chapman
settlement, between Folsom and Latrobe,
near White Rock 1t is stated that they
are so thick that the Indians scooped up
fifty barley sacks full and had good feast.
Everything green is being consumed, and
the pests are headed this way 1t is to be
hoped they will not strike the orchards of
the Natoma Company and other extensive
vineyards near here, for it would iniure the
best industry OF Sacramento county. Mill
ions of dollars have been invested in this
portion of the valley in vines, and should
grasshoppers attack the young vines the
damage could not be estimated. Let us
hope that they may not be in numbers suf-
ficiently large to do as much damage as
was done in Kansas and other sections
few years ago.

SAVED BY THE STATUE OF LIMITATION
When William Pitt Kellogg was placed at
the altar to answer a criminal indictment
we told the people to prepare for another
farce. Thursday Kellogg walked out of
Court free man. The Indictment was
declared defective. a false date had been
inserted, but the prosecution was barred by
the statue of linatations. The Admins
tration has known of Kellogg's guilt for
years. 1t knew the charge involved Tom
Brady. 1t delayed the prosecution pur-
posely until the statue of limitations had
expired 1t further fortified the accused by
flaws in the Indictment In such occur
rences as these lies the foundation of popu-
lar disatfection with the Government. They
are the hotbeds of communism. They
force the belief that there is no equality of
justice, but that one law prevails for the
rich and influential and another for the
poor. They bring all law into contempt
and impress the people with the convic-
ton that the Courts are as corrupt as the
politicians.-[New York Sun.
