q. We HOPE NOT,

II Is among the rumors that cluster about Mr..
Cleveland's visit to tho metropolis that with n
view Of promoting his "pers0nal comfort" while
lie tarres here. the head Of Tom Grady is 70 he
presented to him on a charger, directly on his
arrival at the Grand Central Depot
10 Is plausible rumor. Tho Democratic
managers agree that Grady richly earned decaplta-
ton during the canvass by going mp 10 the help Of
General Butler with his lungs of and his voice
OF silver, and those who know Cleveland agree
that he loves To feed fat a grudge. Nevertheless.
we trust that Grady may be spared. He Is young,
and doubtless finds life precious. sven II he did
abandon his party at the wrong time. Let him
have another chance II he will give bonds with two
sufficient surces not 20 do 80 again. or coarse the
presentation OF his fair young head to Cleveland on
n iewelfretted charger would draw an immense
crowd TO the depot and add considerable ecidt TO
the receptlon. But the President-cect can afford
TO exercise little self-denial Let him resolve.
seeing that this Is an era OF good feeling to dis
penso with the coveted head.

that discrimination would have been OK

the Anarchists have NO ground for complaint
or protest.
The action Of these areds," moreover, shows
what they would do IL ever they should get the

in order by tight curb.

Governor Hill has keen scent for patronage.
In his message he recommended the creation OF
q commission to draft building laws, and
Democratic Senator promptly introduced bill
to empower the Governor to appoint such a
useless commission. Seeing chance to graD
some more patronage for his party, he sent a
special message to the Legislature recommend
ing that the appointment of census enumerators
be taken from the Secretary Of State and given
to county clerks. This change In a law that mas
worked we'll in the past ispropOsed for no other
purpose apparently than to give more patron
age to the Democratic county clerks in New
York, Kings. Albany and other counties. In
the meantime, the Governor claims to be mem
Der of the Board of Public Buildings as Lieuten-
ant Governor, in order that his party may con-
troll the patronage there, while at the same
time he performs the duties and claims the pay
of Governor. This is promising beginning
for Democratic refOrmer.

There is a prospect that the rifemen Of the
National Guard will have an opportunity next
fal, to regain the laurels they lost In the match
with the British volunteers In 1883. If the
proposed match takes place, the question OF
what constitutes military rifle should be
clearly decided beforehand. The last match
came near falling through on account of dis
pute over the use of wind gauges. Some OF the
rifles used by the English team could not be
considered military, and the American rifiemen
In the contest frankly admit that they did not

The city will be fortunate ii 1t secures a COM
oetent successor to Inspector Esterbrook of the
Binding Bureau. He has shown the qualities
necessary for the faithful administration OF
that Office; but he has been hampered by the
interference of superior officers who have had

have finally forced Mr.. Esterbrook to resign.

count of the Bridge last year 81, 1s9,5OO more

the substitution of less expensive manage

The United States have probably had
enough of Arctic explorations for many years.
The horrors of Cape Sabine and the tragedy OF
the Lena Delta are too recent and too appalling
to encourage the sending of another Govern
ment expedition toward the North Pole. But
the expedition which will 60 out shortly under
Lieutenant Stoney to explore the large river
discovered ty him in Alaska is quite another
thing, 1t Is only by exploration that the re-
sources of our Russian purchase can be brought
to light. Again, this expedition will be attended
with little danger. Even If the party winter IN
Alaska the cold they will have to endure VIII
probably be less thaS that which Is experienced
on the plains of the Northwest, and there are
few who will contend that that region should
never have been explored because OF the
severity of its winters.

Gathering Florida Sponges.

tOf, EnlulfeF.l
One Of the sights of the Florida reef is the
sponger. He is generally a conch from
Conchtown. Key West, and devotes his en-
tire time to the business Of fishing up the re-
pulsive objects called sponges This is done
chiefly with hooks or spears, the boats drift
ing along until a sponge is sighted, when it
is hooked or speared and jerked from its
stronghold upon the bottom. When the
water is too deep for the hooking process the
sponger goes overheard and dives to the
sponge, by main force tearing IL from the
bottom. The sponges taken from this sec
ton are not the delicate toilet sponges, being
a different grade and only used for coarse
work. They grow to large size, sometimes
measuring three feet across and two high,
and when active present anything but an at
tractive appearance. Agood healthy sponge
looks as 1t comes TO the surface like great
beefs liver, and the odor is spongy-no other
word describes II.
When load Of these aromatic flowers of
the ocean is secured, they are taken down to
Key West. or may be cured on some of the
keys. This consists In allowing them to re-
main In the sun until thoroughly decayed,
and then treating them to repeated rinsings,
until the animal matter Is entirely removed
They are then placed In the sun to bleach,
and in this stage are seen covering the fences
In Conchtown. Later they are subjected to
several processes, one Of which In some cases
liz sanding This is more common in the
toilet sponge from the Mediterranean.
Shake one and you viii find that quite de-
post OF fine sand escapes This was not
eaten or absorbed by the sponge when alive,
as you might suppose, but is a process by
which the weight Of the sponge Is increased,
and as they sell by the pound, the object Is
evident.
The tricks that the guileless sponge dealer
is not up to are not worth chronicling. Some
time ago young man was sent TO sponge
locality 10 buy sponges for firm who was
going to manufacture new article that re-
quired large quantities, and 1t was found that
the young man paid as much for water and
coral rock as he did for sponge.
Better sponges are found In the Bahamas
than on the Florida reef, and the business,
though In the hands Of few, Is valuable
ono. The majority Of people have rather
peculiar ides regarding the sponge Some
think II an insect; Others a plant 1t Is, how
ever, a simple animal, composed Of many
cells, that are arranged In three layers, the
middle one secreting the lime or slick. as the
case may be, that goes to form the skeleton
of the animal ..--=- (. ..

say, far less earnest views of life than Mr..

the only likeness between them is in the
