Shall we eart etyrant's gall1ngcha1ns

The Century:-As to the distance OF
100000 miles, a cannon ball would
trayel it in about fiteenyears. 1t may
help us to remember that at the speed

night, would in 1884 still be q Journey
of some years away from It's terrestrial
station. The fare at the customary
rates, it may be remarked, would be
rather over 81, 100000, so that it is clear
that we should need money and leisure
for the journey. Perhaps the most

Wolf-Side Elevation.

While Lieutenant George A. Darby was
on the Rio Grande he allowed five months
to elapse without making report, and
at the end of that time he got peremp-
tory order from the War Department. In
replying to it he made report contain
ing something like ream of fOOlscap in
regard to the manners and customs of
the coyote wolf. 1t was highly illustra-
ted. In his introduction he said that he
had made an exhaustive examination of
the reports of tho War Department, and
had found that all other subjects had
pictures of the coyote wolf at side ele-
walton, at front elevation and at rear
elevation, There was also the wolf in all
his various habits. The result of it was
that he was court-martialed, but think
no punishment was ever inflicted upon
him,-Cleueland Leader.

TIE Potomac OYSTER LAw.-The Legislature
yesterday accepted and passed the bill recently
enacted by the Maryland Legislature to regulate
the taking Of oysters in the Potomac river. The
law imposes fine of $500 on any ono not citi.
zen of Maryland or Virginia for twelve months
previous who shall be caught taking oysters in the
Potomac river the vessel to be forfeited and sold
and provides that the dredging season shall last
from November ! to April ] and the longing
season from September to April 10. A fine Of
from $3.50 to $500 is imposed on every person
dredging or longing in the closed season, or lav-
ing in his possession between April Is and Sep.
TENDER any oysters taken il the Potomac river
With reference to the latter clause tho Virginia
Senate yesterday adopted a resolution providing
that it should not be construed as applying to
oysters taken in creeks coves, &C., and on their
way to market. The bill further provides that
the vessel on which any oysters are found in vio-
laton of law during the closed season is to be held
as security for ninety days and is to pay fine OF
from $50 to $3.50. If the fines are not paid in
ninety days the vessel is to be sold and the .ar-
plus after paying costs and fines. is to 60 to the
owner the fines to be divided equally between
the State and the ihformer. Marylanders and
Virginians before taking oysters i'll the Potomac
must first comply with the laws Of their respective
States and offenders not residents of either State
are to be tried in either State but citizens of
Maryland or Virgins are to be tried in their re-
spective States The police Of either State have
authority to pursue and arrest offenders beyond
the boundary lines of the State, and can compel
all persons catching oysters to exhibit their au-
thority,

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER, in his lecture
before the Reform Club of Brooklyn last
night, took the right ground when ne said
that one class of workingmen should not be
protected at the expense of another; that
Whatever enabled the workingmen to pur-
chase more for their wages was direct
benefit to them, and that therefore they
should be in favor of free trade. Protective
tariffs where labor is competitive, cannot
enhance the price of labor, but free trade
does, because it increases the purchasing
value of wages.

EXTRA SEssIoN.-The coalitionists Of the
Legislature had caucus night before last
Mr.. Grim in the chair A southwestern
member offered resolution to permit men,
bers to sign the call for an extra session.
Mr.. Grim declined to put the question,
and stated that he would not preside over
q body that would prove untrue to their
pledge.
No action changing their former resolve
was taken.
a democratic caucus was held in the Sen
ate chamber yesterday evening. The hall
of the House has been abandoned under the
impression that it was "leaky." A resolu-
ton was offered that members remain here
as long rs it is necessary.
After it was adopted, they, by close
vote, passed another that there shall be an
extra session fit is found necessary.
Notwithstanding the Indignation express
ed by Mr.. Grim, it is quite certain that some
of his fellow senators are thinking of sign
ing-if they have not already signed-the
call. Three coalition senators are now
counted upon to support the demand upon
the Governor for an extra session.
The point is being made that 1.-THE regu.
lar session" was extended" until April Sd,
and that "an extra session" cannot be con-
vened until that time is out, no matter when
the two houses may adjourn sine die. -Rich-
