The denial Of Col. Quay that he was ac-
lively enlisted in the interests Of Presi-
dent Arthur seems to have been merely
one of the formal prevarications with
which distinguished politicians are ac-
customed to amuse the people. The
Washington correspondent of the SPRING
field RepabItcQn on the Sd inst. telegraph
ed to that paper that ''the President gave
notice to-day that he had committed his
interests in Pennsylvania to Col. Matt
QUAY. In other wOrus, he nominated
John NJ. Vanderslice to be pension agent
at Philadelphia, in spite Of strong protests
from the Philadelphia Congressman. This
is Quay's appointment, and it is made for
the purpose Of using the Office for all it is
WORTH Quay is said to be in fun posses
sion of the Republican machine IN Penn
sylvania, and this appointment is doubt
less 4 proof that some arrangement has
been entered into which viii give Arthur
some support from Pennsylvania in the
convention, although that State is thought
to be decidedly in favor Of Blaine.

Furone.s Dynamite Troubles.

There Is q movement IN Europe, il
seems. to secure cooperation in demand
iugof the Government OF the United States
legislation against dynamite emissaries.
It's pretty certain that this movement
viii never amount to anything. Before
even a demand for such legislation can
be made reasonably, it must be shown
that the dynamite is manufactured in this
country and is carried to Europe by ennis
sarie5 for unlawful purposes. 1t is pr0ba-
bic that nothing Of this kind can be
shown. What is the advantage Of carry
Ing dynamite from this country to England
when all the materials 70 manufacture it
can be obtained there IS cheaply as here,
and can be manufactured there with little
probability OF being discovered? The fact
that the dynamite is not carried from this
country is pretty conclusivelY shown by
the fact that custom house officers search
the baggage Of all passengers thor
Oughly. England is better able to protect
herself from dynamite manufactured in
this country than the United States is to
! protect her. If her officers are dihgent
no dynamite from this country can
! be landed. The truth Is, probably, that
| the dynamite used with such terrible effect
in London lately was manufactured there,
and that those who were the authors and
| executors Of the dynamite plots were not
American citizens. The time hasn't
/ come yet for demanding from this country
| protection against dynamite fiends. Our
| responsibility viii have to be much more
clearly shown. England is hardly in a
position to make a demand Of any kind on
this country in connection with this
dynamite business. The NihIlists and
other political conspirators from every
part OF Europe find an asylum in London.
| 1t will be, probably, some time yet before
/ this country undertakes the work Of hunt
| M down dynamite. conspirators for the
! protection Of England or any other Euro
| pean country. But there is no sympathy
I In this country with the dynamite war

WAR on THE CHEsAPEAKE.
Oystermen Again Banging Away at Each
other with Disastrous Effect.

Other with Disastrous Effect.
The restless oystermen are again bang
ing away at each other on the Chesapeake,
saws a Baltimore special Of March 4 to
the New York Vorld. Saturday feet Of
oyster pirates put into the bay and began
dredging on the tongmen's beds, almost
within pistol shot of Poplar Island, driy-
ing of the prOprietors of the beds. These
quickly raised the alarm and the entire
male population Of the island fiOcked to
the rescue of the beds. The flying artil-
lery, consisting of dilapidated old piece
OF cannon on two wagon wheels, was linn
bered andrushed down to the shore, loaded
and aimed at the pirates, who were gazing
at the shore wondering what was going
on. They soon found out. The impromptu
gunners hurriedly built fire of twigs, on
which they heated a poker red-hOt, and
with it touched oil the gun. The aim was
good, and although the old blunderbuss
recOiled ten feet, the ball Knocked the bow
spirit and jibbOOm of Of one schooner,
bringing down her sails and stays. The
astonished pirates opened a lively fire
with rifles in return, but the effective
work Of the old gun distracted their atten-
ton. They made a hasty retreat after
having another vessel hulled and her
mainbOOm knocked overheard, While
third lost her fOretopmast. No one on
shore was hurt, and the pirates have not
been seen since.
Yesterday pirates appeared of Thigh
mans Island, and the tongmen got their
battery and went for them lively, the pi-
rates beating a quick retreat.

The Botany of Egyptian Tombs.

Among the remains OF nOWeFs found on
wreaths accompanying mummies Of the
twenty-frst dynasty Of Egypt 5000 years
ago. was q small variety OF the common
European red poppy, plant which does
not occur at the present time in the Nile
Valley. though it is abundant on the sea-
coast: a broad headed century now found
in Persia and Afghanistan, and complete
flower heads Of Picris COrOpOpJOtia, a
plant found only on the borders Of the de-
sert. where the Nile waters reach by in
filtration. Other flowers used in these
wreaths We're the blue water lily and
tree-mallow and a larkspur, which
have their present home in Central
Asia. Probably the foreign flowers We're
cultivated by the ancient Egyptians.
These garlands contained also the folded
leaves Of a willow, strung on threads
made Of the date palm, and serving as
clasps. In a vault dating at least 22O0
B. G.. were found grains of barley and
wheat, tubers Of a sedge CYperas eScu-
IeHtd), figs, fruits OF the hyphane palm,
pine cones, beans, capsules of flax and
pods of wild mustard, and broom made
from a composite common upon the banks
of the Nile-precisely similar to the hard
brooms made from the same plant at the
present day. Tie pine cones as we'll as
the juniper berries found in other tOmbs
point to coI->nercial relations with
Greece, Asia Minor and Syria, as the
species are not Egyptian.

We gave a short account some time ago
Of a visit made by certain city officials Of
Ct. Louis 10 inspect an extensive bed Of
ebert on the Iron Mountain Railroad. 1t
was intended TO experiment with that ma
teTial for street paving purposes. When
they came back their report was quietly
pigeon-holed, and nothing has since been
heard Of the project. 1t has recently leak
ed out that the innocent officials did not
find the ebert beds at all, but fell into the
hands Of a rival quarry man, who guided
them far away from the stones they were
seeking. Il may be that the explorers
were so well supplied with St. Louis pc
culiar provisions for the journey that they
did not know or care exactly what they
were looking for. ebert is a kind Of flint,
which Is said to be much better than
limestone for paving or maeadamizing
purposes. as It does not crush so easily
nor produce so much dust.

The Account Books Of the Democratic
National Committee Thrown Open.
Several important things, as yet un-
known to the country, says Washington
special to the New York san oC March 4,
occurred at the recent meeting Of the
Democratic National Commife e in this
city. For instance, the Treasurer of the
committee reported every reasonable claim
upon him adjusted and paid in full, and
81, 500 cash in his hands. The books were
there to show every dollar Of reeeipts and
every dollar Of the expenditures. There
was nothing to conceal, either IS to where
the money came from or where it went to.
Shortly after the Presidential election
Of 1880 it was charged by many Demo-
Gratis, and the charge was elaborated in a
prominent Democratic newspaper Of the
West that the Hon. Samuel J. Tilden,
piqued at the failure of the Democracy to
force upon him a nomination which he
had formally and voluntarily declined,
secretly endeavOred to effect Gen. Han
cocks defeat, working particularly
through his tFusty friends in the all
important State of New York.
If any member Of the National Com
mlttee was weak enough to believe this
charge, what must have been his surprise,
upon looking at the books placed before
him. to find that sums were subscribed
and paid as f0llOws
