A CURIOSITY.
Here ia a curiosity. A Boston dis
patchBays that q lady of that city was
eating her dinner last Tuesday. She
was astonished by finding canary
bird In the center of boiled potato,
which she cut open. The feathered
songster was about an inch long, fully
developed, with beak, body, wings
and tail. DR.. j. Eliot Woodward pro-
nouuced 1t the greatest curiosity be

THE ADMINIsTRATIoN INDoRsEp'
1t liz mere partisan fury TO deny q
President who has done those things,
and who was not elected upon q de-
clared party policy of adhesion to re-
form, the strongest principle and the
highest courage. Now will any sincere
friend of the administrative reform
deny that such executive action Is Of
the utmost service toward tho final
overthrow of the odlous and un-Amer-
lean spells System which deprives tho
great body OF American citizens in
both parties of q tree and equal chance
to secure place in the employment OF
the government. Certainly no voter
who supported Mr. Cleveland because
he believed him to be sincerely re-
solved upon reform hasyot had reason

ant Holm returns TO Denmark
next fall with the information
he has collected about Isolated
East Greenlanders. He has Just spent
his second winter among them, and
news of his expedition up to tho be-
ginning of last winter has recently
been received. lle says the East
6reenlandors have nothing whatever
in common with tho Esquimaux. Tho
west coast natives from Cape Farewell
TO Smith Sound speak tho Same
Language with small dialect differ.
encos, but tho language of
East Greenland Is entirely different,
and the people, unlike tho short, stout
EHquimauX, are as tall as the North
Europeans. Lieutenant Holm has
found them very friendly and oblig-
ing, and they have rendered his ex-
petition much sorvice. He Is suro
that they arc not descendants Of the
NOrseman, who arc said TO have found
cd colonies on the east coast, lie in
tended to winter at largo settlement
In $50 north latitude, which Europeans
have never visited. In all his wander
ings along tho coast no had not found

COLONEL DENBY.
Some Of tho California papers
have heen making very unjust and
ungenerous remarks about Colonel
DENLY, the new Minister TO China,
ON tho supposltlon that no Is moro
friendly 10 Chinese than ho ought
10 be. He Is q judioiouB man, accus.
toned TO weigh his words well before
he utters them. SO far no has said
nothing that exception can DO taken to
ese prejudice. Ho has placed himself
on good forms with tho official ropre-
sentatives of the Chinese Empire at
Washington, by exercising the
courtesy Of calling on them. The
call was promptly returned, and
subsequently Colonel Donby dined
with the Chinese 'hlinistor by invita-.
ton. This was very sensible course
TO purBue, end there Is no doubt that
Colonel d. has thereby much increased
his power OF benentlng his country
abroad. No matter what his own pri-
waite opinions may be In relation to
those peculiar people, no goes thoro
under the instructions OF tho govern
mont, which no will be required to
carry ont, and which, of course, he
will DO ia good faith, IL will DO tfmo
enough for the California newspapers
TO find fault whom they know what
these instructions are. Tho govern
ment, not tho minister, is responsible
for Thorn. The treaties between the
two countries, and our laws relating
10 the Chinese, will also, OF course, be
strictly Observed Evansville Jour
