All the departments Of the government
propose to make some kind Of an exhibit
at the New Orleans Exposition, and all
Of them, except the Department Of JUS
tice. have indicated to a certain extent
the character Of the articles they will fur
nish. The Department of Justice does
not appear to have anything that would
attract attention at an exposition. 1t has
been suggested that the Attorney General
might present on a blackboard the
amounts that were paid attorneys for the
government as counsel fees in the star
route cases. 1t Is pretty certain that
Southern farmers would regard with con-
siderable interest figures showing that
$50 a day was paid lawyers whose ex-
peuses were borne by the government at
the rate Of s. a day. But as
interesting as these figures would
be there are other kinds of figures which
would be far more interesting. Let Mr..
Brewster get up a collection Of wax
figures representing all the lawyers, in
GLIDING himself and all the defendants
and witnesses engaged in the celebrated
star route cases. A collection Of this
kind would be one Of the features of the
exposition. The whole country has heard
Of Brewster, Bliss, Ker, IngersOI, Dorsey,
Brady, Kellogg, and all the rest who have
figured cOnspicuously in the newspapers
for two or three years. 1t is surprising
that some enterprising Snowman hasn't
utilized this wax figure idea before this.
Mr.. Brewster has a rare opportunity Of
making the exhibit of hiS department
more interesting than that of any other
department. Has he the genius to make
the most Of his opportunity?

EDUCATED LOBsTERS.
The Effect of a Boston Story on a Boat
Load.

LOAD.
'Lobsters is GURUS critters" said an
old man whose weather-beaten face, half
concealed by an unkempt gray beard and
an oilskin suit, stamped him as a fisher
man, at the Eastern station, in Bangor,
Me-, to a Commercial reporter the other
day. ''They're just as sensitive as a bile,
and l cal'late they know an almighty
sight. Folks say as how Holsters is treach-
erOus, but | allus found if you treated 'em
half as we'll as you would a dog they'd

The old man picked up a big live one
from barrel that was awaiting transpOr-
tatiOn, and for a few seconds held the
squirming, wriggling monster in the palm
of one of his hands. Then he Topped it
over, back upwards, and rubbed its tail
briskly with his other hand. The fish
slowly drew its ugly looking claws and
subsidized into perfect quiet, exhibiting no
more signs Oflife than ifhe had been boiled.

The Oyster Industry Threatened.
The oyster supply Of the South is very
great, but for years past the colored
people along the coast have been making
great inroads upon it, and those who have
thought over the matter have predicted
an almost total extinction Of the delicious
biYalve before many more years. Many
Of the creeks and rivers run through prl-
vate lands and can be protected from
these inroaGs, and some efforts have
been made in that direction, but the
owners have not enforced their rights
very vigorously. The day is not distant
when the strongest measures will have
to be taken not only to protect the oyster,
but also to provide for its propagation.
The planting Of oysters has been carried
on to a limited extent in the vicinity Of
Savannah, and where the planters have
kept a close watch upon the beds they
have reaped a fair profit. AS has been
stated however, the oyster-beds are liable
to be raided by outside parties, and are
certain to be destroyed unless guarded.

The letter which Wayne MacVeagh
wrote to ex-Secretary BrIstOw the DAY
before the Arthur New York mass meet
ing was not read at the meeting by Mr..
Bristow. There was no occasion for
reading it. because it had appeared in the
New York morning papers. If Mr.. Ar
thur should be the Republican Presi-
Dental candidate, the letter would be an
admirable document for the Democrats
% scatter over the country. 1t shows up
Mr.. Arthur's character and public career
as only a brainy and embittered man
can show them up. Mr.. MacVeagh
seems to have forgotten nothing in Mr..
Arthur's career that could be twisted TO
his discredit. He refers to him as the
man who drew the great prize
in the "lottery Of assassination"
which prize, MacVeagh thinks,
was as far beyond his expectation as 1t
was beyond his deserts. He seems to
dwell with particular pleasure on the fact
that Mr.. Arthur was condemned by an in
vestigating committee for the manner in
which he managed the affairs Of the New
YorkeustOm house, and he touches up
on Arthur's connection with Malone,
Chalmers. and the New York political
machine with as much apparent delight as
be would roll a sweet morsel under his
tongue. He enlarges upon Arthur's in
gratitude to COnkling, who made
him Vice President, and depicts with a
graphic pen the pleasure which Mr.. Ar
thur experienced in being known
as the enthusiastic supporter Of the boss
system before he became President. With
cruel irsny he refers to Mr.. Arthur's only
recorded speech-that which he delivered
at the DelmonicO dinner in 1880, and In
which he spoke in terms Of praise OF
Dorsey's free use Of ''sOap" in the In
diana campaign Of that year. Mr.. Mac
Veagh will be entitled to the thanks Of
the Democratic party, if Mr.. Arthur
should be the Republican standard bearer,
for furnishing them with such an admira-
bic campaign document.

Claiming a FLOATING Island.

Some months ago, says Washington
special, Robert Canieh, Of ST. Louis, ap-
piled to the Secretary of the Interior for
survey of an island in the Mississippi
river opposite to St. Louis, claiming it to
be public land. The application was re-
sisted by the city upon the ground of its
ownership of Arsenal Island, to which
the new formation was alleged to be a
mere accretion, and consequently that it
belonged to the city.
The cage showed that Arsenal Island
had been gradually shifting downwards
for many years, and that as its head is
washed away by the currents OF the river
its foot is enlarged. In 1858 it contain
ed 404 acres, in 1868 but ll9 acres, since
which time it has moved further south
ward about 1880 feet, its rate of motion
being about eight inches per day. The
Secretary decided against the claimant.

The Arthur Mas Meeting.


New York business men have done what
they could for Mr.. Arthur. They have
assembled in mass meeting and declared
that they would like to have him renomi-
mated. 1t is not certain that the meeting
was a spontaneous exhibition OF good
will for Mr.. Arthur. There is a suspicion
that il was the work of Barney Biglin,
Clint Wheeler and others Of Mr.. Arthur's
chums. II must be admitted however,
that the feeling in business circles is very
friendly to Mr.. Arthu@His administra-
ton has been very corsNvative and free
from anything calculated TO create dis
trust OF excitement. Circumstances have
no doubt greatly aided Mr.. Arthur in
giving the country a satisfactory admin
istration. There has been no condition Of
affairs which called for the exercise OF the
qualities OF a statesman. He has had
very little TO do beyond giving entertain
ments at the White House-which, by the
way, he has done superbly-and listening
to the claims Of oficeholders. The New
York mass meeting viii be about for
gotten BY the time the convention meets,
and it is doubtful if its influence will be
felt in that body TO any marked extent.
About all the delegates have made up
their minds for whom they viii vote on
the first ballot. The voting after that
ballot will depend upon circumstances
which have no connection with mass
meetings. 1t cannot be denied, however,
that the present outlook is more favorable
for Mr.. Arthur than for any other candi-
date if the expressions Of the press are
worth anything. He has succeeded adj
mirably in keeping himself out Of the
/ canvass and IN hiding from the public
| any efforts that he may have made in his
own behalf. He has not been so indis-
Greet as to admit to his intimate friends
that he is a candidate, or, if he has, they
have been guilty Of no indiscretiOn
! Whether he is successful or defeated be
/ will be entitled to the credit Of having
conducted an admirable campaign for the
/ nomination.

plain man OF tie people, doing his duty and

There is no doubt that he would be a safe and

Pnsteur,s Antidote for Hydrophobia.

Pasteur's AntidOte for HydrOphObia.
From time to time reports have reached
this country of the efforts of the celebrated
Paris chemist, NJ. Louis Pasteur, to dis
cover an antidote for hydrophObia. The
announcement is made that NJ. Pasteur
thinks that his experiments have been
successful. He is confident Of his ability
not only to render a person insusceptible
to hydropnObia, but also to cure person
who has been bitten by a mad dog. The
discovery. if it proves to be all that is
claimed for it, is invaluable. NJ. Pas
tours experiments covered a period of
four years, and led him to the conclusion
that incubation with an almost HARM
less ulruS rdbique would protect a person
so inoculated against hydrOphobia. He
made tests with dogs, monkeys and rab-
bits. and the results sustained his theory.
The dogs which he inoculated with the
weakened virus suffered no harm, and it
was found that after this treatment they
were not susceptible to hydrGphO0Ia. N.
Pasteur. having found an antidote for
hydrOphObia, would do the world a great
service by discovering an antidote for
snake poison. Snakes cause the death of
more persons than mad dogs. Science is
making new discoveries all the time. A
German physician lately announced that
he had discovered the cause Of cholera.
If he has it may not be long before a cure
or prevention for this dreaded disease will
be announced.
