Ior dynamite IN all directions, as it is be-
lIeved that bags of explosive materials
have been deposited in various quar-
ters OF the city. A suspicious
party, known to be an American, has
been noticed lingering in the neighborhOod
of Windsor Castle.
HOW THE CLUE WAS OBTAINED.
The clue mentioned in the Paris dis
patches this morning which leads the
Paris police to believe that an assault is
meditated upon prominent officers in
London on st. Patrick's day is afforded
by letter from America, which has fallen
into the hands Of the police.

During Miss Fanny's life her pets were two
dogs, handsome st. Bernard and red

aware of this, for they one night gave the
animals meat dosed with arsenic, and the
following morning they were found dead.
Last night a milch COW was found dead
in its stall. From all appearance it had
fallen IN its tracks without a struggle.
DR.. Ships, of Bordentown, was informed
of the affair, and, after a superficial in
quiry, gave it as his opinion that the
animal died from the effects of arsenic.
To make assurance dOubly sure, however.
the entrfls were examined and unmistaka-
bic evidences of arsenic poisoning dis
covered. Mrs. Parnell, after consulting
her lawyer in New York, determined TO
call to her aid the authorities of Burling-

Some curious facts relating to the in
cessant formation OF minerals in various
rocks by means of molecular transport
and displacement were recently contrib
uted to the Bulletin of the French Geolog-
ical Society by NJ. Nirlet d'Aoust. A
small bell of the Gallo-ROman epoch.
found in an alluyial deposit at COndesur-
Iton, had been converted into a geode by
deposited material, and beneath vine at
PerigneuX 200 pieces of silver coin of the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were
found surrounded by hematite, so as to
form a geode. NJ. d'Aoust states that he
has proved that all flint geOdes, buhr-
stones. ETC., are the result of molecular
that have taken place since
the formation of the strata in which they
occur. and that limOntes and the iron
ores of alluvial beds have the same origin
and are still in course of formation. The
quarrymen of France are well acquainted
with the fact that flint forms again in the.
spots whence buhr-stOnes have been
taken, and know also that grains Of iron
ore are thus formed in alluvial clays.

Wise Construction and Economic Ex-
penditure the Party's Object.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The naval ap-
preparation bill, after several days debate,
was passed by the House to-day. But
very few, and those immaterial, amend
ments were made. Despite Dorsheimer and
one or two others, the Democrats, as a
rule, stood by the Committee on Appro-
priations, which is carrying out its prin-
ciple of economy. Eight millions below
the estimates of the navy department
were maintained in the bill as passed. 1t
has been endeaYOred to be shown that the
Democrats were opposed to building up
the navy. The discussion OF the bill
shows, however, that they are not
so opposed, but are ready to
construct navy when they find OppOr-
tunity to do so outside of the RobesOn-
Chandler-Roach ring. The naval bill
cannot in its discussion and final disposal
but show to the country that the motive
of the Democratic majority is economy
wherever necessary, but no yielding to
public clamOr when it is known that such
yielding viii place the expenditures of
millions into the hands of dishonest men.
