1T is to be feared the present legisla
ture will fall into the same mistake
made by its predecessor, and cut Off
more pork than it can chew. A com
mittee can be so glutted with business
referred, that in limited time no one
bill can be perfected. The HERALD
hopes for the best, however, and trusts
the patriotism of the law making power.

TEXAS editors seem TO be very much
exercised over the problem as to no isto
be lady of the white house when CLEvE-
LAND is insugurated. From this 1t may
be supposed that each and every one OF
them expects to be the honored guest of
Mr.. CLEVELAND; to make the white
house his sleeping quarters, and tho
lady OF the white house to sit at his
right hand when he takes his coffee and
stewed oysters for breakfast.

A Clergyman CORRECTED,

A clergyman, having been indicted
into living in Kent, took occasion dur
ing his first sermon to introduce the
word "optcs." At the conclusion of
the service farmer, who was present,
thanked him for his discourse, but init.
mated that he had made a small mis-
take in one word, sottening down at the
same time the severity of his criticism
by saying: "Yet we all know very well,
sir, what you meant" On the clergy
man making further inquiries about
this word, the farmer replied: "What
you call hop-sticks, in this part of the
country we call hop-poles."

ONE noticeable and agreeable feature

There is much significance in tho
statement of the Berlin Meme Preussiche
Helung that Germany has a political
interest in the Nicaragua canal question.
That journal is supposed to be officially
inspired when it says; "The day is now

Nicaragua questions, which are essen
tally of international interest, should
be regulated by an international confer
ence like that now regulating the Congo.
In all that concerns Panama and Near

AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT WASHED UP FROM
THE WRECK OF THE STEINMASN.
HALIFAX, n. s., April 20.-A romance has
come to light connected wiIa the il-fated
steamship Daniel SteinmaI which was
wrecked at Sambro a year ago, when 124 lives
were lost. Previous to his leaving home Peter
Andreas Michaelsen. one of the passengers, de-
posted S39,5e0 and some valuables for safe
keeping with one Herschird. of Hasle Dem
mark, and took receipt therefor. Probably
imagining that no legal evidence would ever be
forthcoming that he had the money, Herschird
refused TO return ii To the dead mans relatives.
Thereupon the Danish foreign minister commu-
nicated with Mr. Tobin, the Danish consul at
this post, requesting him TO spare no efforts to
find the receipt. The bodies and wreckage
washed ashore from time to time have been
carefully searched, and the divers who have
been working on the wreck for the past year
have kept sharp lookout for the missing docu-
ment, but all without success Recently a small
trunk was washed ashore containing a number
of letters and papers, These were turned over
to the consul. They were water-soaked and the
writing almost obliterated, but among them
was the long-looked-for receipt, which, after
much difficulty, Consul Tobn deciphered and
translated. He has cabled the good news 70
COpenhagen.
