one of the most interesting examples Of
intelligence among the SEA crabs, i that
of a hermit crab which seems 10 have Il
perfect understanding with sea ane-
none, that fastcns itself upon its she'll and
shares the food the crab may capture.
This might be considered an accidental
occurrence We're it not that the crab
proves its friendship by assisting the ane
none to move to its new shell. when. by
reason of its growth, the crab has to
change its quarters and If the auemOne
is not satisfied with one shell. the crab
tries others until its friend IS suited.
\ similar friendship exists between
another hermit crab, found in the Medi
terranean Sea, that is also accomIansed sed

The crabs called DromiH encourage the
growth of various animals and plants
upon their backs, and the spider-crab Of
our own shores, known as the decorator
is invariably fonnd bearing upon its back
a thick growth of seaweed, placed there

them, and being thus difficult 10 detect

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

London, Jan. 13.-The General News
Agency's account of the proceedings of
the French Chamber of Deputies to-day
is as follows: Jules Ferry, the French
Prime Minister, this afternoon made an
official declaration of the Governments
intention with regard to Tonquiu. The
declaration was partly in answer to an in
terrogatory put forward by the opposition
respecting the retirement of General
Campenon from the Ministry of War.
General Campenon resigned the portfolio
on the Ord inst, because, contrary to his
advice, the Ministry persisted in the Tom
quin invasion. He contended that the
task was Improbable and unworthy the
republic, which could not, he argued, af-
ford to spare the 10000 French soldiers,
essential to the enterprise, in view of the
European situation and the pressing ne
cessity for the more perfect mobilization
of the army in France. General Campo
mons idea was that mobilization was the
immediate and supreme duty of the hour,
and it should at once be undertaken, with
view of giving the republic an available
military strength of 1000, 900 men. Gen
eral Lewal of the Seventeenth Army
Corps, who commanded the Rhine army
during the Frsnco-German war, and who
vas in thorough sympathy with Ferry's
views, was at once installed as General
Campenon's successor.

Warminster, in Wiltshire, was partially
wrecked by an explosion of dynamite last
night. Several houses in the neighbor-
hood were badly shaken, many windows
shattered, and several persons thrown to
the ground by the violence of the shock.
The report of the explosion was heard for
two miles around the Town Hall, and
great excitement was caused until it was
ascertained that no one had been seriously
| injured. Pieces of tin tubing which had
| apparently contained a fuse were found
near the scene of the explosion. Two
suspicious-1ooking strangers were noticed
lettering near the Town Hall during the
afternoon, and the police are searching for
them, but, thus far, ne arrests have been
made.

Washington, January 12.-The Senate
spent three hours to-day in secret discus
sion of the Nicaraguan treaty. Senator
Miller, of California, made long formal
speech in its support, giving a history of
the negotiations from the beginning, and
Senator Sherman made an equal formal
speech in opposition, basing his argument
chiefly upon the belief that the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty was still in force. At the
conclusion of the debate a motion was
made to have the two speeches printed
that were delivered in the Senate in ex-
ecutive session, but 1t was withdrawn
upon the suggestion of the danger that
copies might reach the press and the
public.
Miller presented in the Senate to-day a
memorial of the Board of Trade of San

with Spain be rejected,
New Haven, Jan. 12.-Dr. Carver began

misses. His record must average 500
shots an hour to accomplish his task.

missing 995 times. He rested three hours
and slept, his left wrist having swollen,
causing him considerable pain. At 10
o'clock he resumed firing. At noon the
score stood 1905 hits, 1896 misses.
DR.. Carver retired for the night with a
total of 1859 hits to his credit. He
stopped firing at 1880 A. M, Jan. 14th,

"BRACE UP"

There is no denying it, Honolulu is
dull. Between the outbreaks of par
ties and balls, which follow each
other with lightning rapidity for
about month and then cease as alb
ruptly as they begin, there is very
little going on. A small coterie of
young people keep up lawn-tennis
with trustworthy enthusiasm, and,
we believe, there are several card
clubs in existence, but there is very
little amusement for the rest Of US.
Even billiards and flour jacks' may
get nonotonous at times, and there
is very little else.
The ladies get up an excitement
occasionally over a church fair or a
lawn party, where, though the
charity may be an excellent one, the
public get very little fun with a great
deal of fancy work.
Even the band, our. one source of
unalloyed pleasure, is not enjoyed or
appreciated as it deserves. On Sat
urday afternoon q few carriages
slowly meander around the square, a
stray couple on horseback rambIe
about, while those who seek the en-
closure listen to the exquisite strains
with dull, awed sOlemnity, painfully
suggestive of funeral mourners.
We have charming little theatre,
and a fairly good corps of amateur
actors, but seemingly for lack of sup
port and encouragement, the Music
Hall stands idle, and the Amateur
Theatrical Company is disbanded.
Honolulu is certainly dull, but the
fault lies mainly with ourselves.
Why do not some of our society
bellies introduce archery here, which
is pastime eminently suitable tc
the climate, and affords an opportu.
nifty to those who are unequal to the
demands of lawn-tennis.
~ During the interval between balls
fand receptions why not get up infor
NAL parties for dancing the Germani

The Vermont Colony.

There have been conflicting statements as to
the final selection Of location for the old SOL
dier colony from Vermont, the representatives
Of which have been taken over most Of the ter
rtory and shown unusual attention, as the
various sections were anxious to secure them.
They located in tho south central part of Ed
munds county, about ten miles from Roscoe
and twenty from Ipswich, filing 119 soldiers
claims. They are all veterans with means,
and representing $50 persons, all but sixteen
married. They have named their settlement
Loyal Valley, and will at once erect buildings
and bring out their families. They are the ad-
vance Of perhaps thousands from Vermont. It
is understood they have assurances that the
Hastings Il Dakota railroad will be extended
to Roscoe this season.-ISt. Paul Globe.

Ing. Sheriff Larson and Coroner Strom weri
at once notified, and during the afternoon the
body was at once put into a rude box and con-
veyed to the town house. A scar in the middle
Of the right hand and peculiar leather belt|
worn about the waist, identified the deceased
as Paul Toning. An inquest was held Monday
morning by Coroner Strom. A close examine
tion OF tho body revealed some marks of yioss
lence, hut they were regarded as having been
made by drifting logs or ice. The testimony
failed to elicit any motive for murder, az the
deceased had no money and was Of peaceable
disposition. There are, however, some mys-.

By the proposed route tho same yesr that II Il

Chicago, to take advantage Of the spring De-
mand. OF course the people Of this city could
scarcely expect to recelys any OF tho latter. 1t
would go directly East without coming up
Lake Michigan. But BY far Tie greater por-
ton Of the crop Of that section could bS handled
in this market il not actually brought here.
That has been the experience With wheat

holding it through the wintefwitll declining
market staring them in the face without either
"hedgipg' by such short sales or paying the
farmers much less to begin With. And very
few people have any idea Of the vast quantity
Of wheat that has actually come here aince last
harvest from the Northwest. For weeks to-
gether Chicago was the safety-yalye Of the
market at Minneapolis, taking wheat that buy
ers there did not want. We may adj that the
wheat which they did take, and that stored at
Port Arthur, was protected by sales against it
in Chicago.
It is no new revelation, therefore, that is
proposed by the farmers Of Walsh county, Da-
kota. It is only an extension ON the relations
which. previously existing, are incidental to
the function Of Chicago as the mother Of the c.
real trade Of the great West. The city was of es-
peeiai value in this relation during the dull times
Of last winter, when wheat wns not wanted by
anybody and prices were sustained chiefly by
the speculative energy that eenters In Chicago.
This Is point which is not bs ignored by those
who are disposed to grumble at what they are
pleased to call the gambling on Change
