BeIligerent Seals.

Portland Oregonian: The fact that
seals haye come into the Columbia river
i'm great numbers this season has been
noticed several times. 1t is thought by
some that this fact may have something
to do with the absence of the usual run
of smelt. The munger Of salmon in the
river is very small, and fishermen are
complaining. j. "A. Johnson of Eagle
Cliff writes to c. A. Marley to say that
he has 5000 worth Of new nets in the
river every day and FIVE men hard at
work, and they cannot make a living.
All hopes of taking smslt are not yet
abandoned but are daily growing dim
mer. Seals are troublesome. and Mr..
Johnson says: "The seals stole four sal
mon out of my nets to-day. and we had
hard fight with sea lion. Ii was Is
feet leng, and was determined to get in
to the boat after a salmon. We had no
gun and we fought 1t off with a Ratchet
and q long POLE" IL the sea lions are
going to dispute with the fishermen for
every salmon they catch there will be
lots of fun on the riyeE this season.

Outwitted BY a Dog.

The following incident, given in
"Marvels of Prayer" by Rev. Hyatt Smith
was first published in Scottish journal
and tho editor vOuched for the truth of
the narrative. There Is no connection
between the incident and the title of the
book, but young people will be interest
ed to learn how dog outwitted his mas
ter. "a gentleman in Glasgow owned
q very intelligent Newfoundland dog.
He accom- panied his master wherever he
went and was his insspsrabls sompan-
ion in his visits and to church. One
evening the gentleman visited neigh
Dor. The dog attended him, 1t was
quite late when the gentleman started
home, and, to his surprise, his dog could
not DO found, After the family had re.
tired to bed there was great noise in
the kitchen. 1t was supposed that bur
glars were robbing the house. Soon
there was q crash and smash like the
breaking Of window, and then all was
still. The morning revealed the mys-
terry. The dog had fallen asleep under
the table. He was sensible that his
master had gone home, and the noise
heard was the attempt to make his ss-
cape. As there was no other way to get
out, the sagaeiOus animal went through
the window, taking the glass and frame
with him. 1t was long time before
his master visited that house again.
When he did, his dog accompanied him,
and the animal found his way through
the open door of the kitchen to his old
hiding place under the table. 1t was
late when the master started for home
But neither his hat nor cane could be
found. After long search the dog was
discovered fast asleep under the table
one paw was in his masters hat, the
other resting on his masters cane. How
he obtained possession Of these articles
no one could tell. He remembered his
last visit to the place, and how ssurvily
he was treated. The sagacious creature
resolved not to BE- loft behind the next
time. He knew that his master could
not 20 home without his hat and cane
and that he would be quite likely to be
awakened when his owner got ready to
walk. His plans were acutely laid and
if he had possessed reason he could not
haye done better"

Condition of the Banks.
New York Tribune.

The quarterly statement of the Nation
al banks, 2,671 in number. shows that
these institutions have greatly strength
ened their position since last December,
though they were then abundantly
strong. The new statement shows that
between December 20 and March 10 the
banks increased their stock of gold $685.
678,O63, and at the latter date held $153-
408,SS4 in gold and gold certificates.
They held less legal tenders by 81 ,632-
233, and only 1861, 1872 more silver, The
latter item Is important, because it
proves that notwithstanding the apprs-
tensions INDUCED and complaints made
from some sections, the banks are still
remarkably free from entanglomsnt with
the silver difficulty; they hold in silver
coin and certificates only $13,697, $3.50,
against $93,77I322 in legal tenders and
$153, 1884 in gold and gold certificates.
Probably the silver, as it has not chang
cd materially in amount, il held much
when Boston banks held more than a
quarter of the silver certificates in all
the national banks, viz, 81, 2S6.910; New
banks held 1854 $50, and Philadelphia
wdukS u0lu YOtf,OlO, WHli6 al Obu0I
banks in the country hold only $1,408,-
100. Bat the silver coin held, Though
not large in amount was much more
generally distributed. 80 's 20 Ialdil
The large increase in gold held by the
National banks reflects a disheartning
stagnation in business rather than 4
prscaution against any apprehendsd
peril. The loans Of the National banks
were about $2,O00,000 less in March than
in December, while the individual de-
posits had increased about $9,000,000.
The surplus Of the banks had been re-
ducsd $3.50, 000 while there had been q
slight increase in capital. ,.,......

Watching the Incubat0rs.

New York Tribune.
One Of the interesting things at the
faHciers' show is to watch the incuba-
tiers. The machines have glass fronts 50
that the process of hatchiRg can be
watched by every one who is curious.
An egg will be lying as white and
smooth as if it were just going to be
boiled for breakfast, when suddenly q
little hole will appear in it and dimin-
utiye bill will DO seen pecking away,
trying to enlarge it. Then some of the
dOwRy little chickens that have been sit
ting around gossiping with each other,
will become interested and run over to
take hand. The amount of sport they
have with the poor, imprisoned biped in
that egg is incredible. Every time he
moves they will dart their bills at him
and scare him SO that he withdra WIS into
his shell and resolves to become an egg
again and see life in the form of ham
Omelet. Then the frOlicsOme chickens
will pretend to go away, but as soon as
the unmatched chicken moves they are at
him again. 'as NJ I'..1
When they tire of the sport they go
away and leave the chicken to be Matched
in peace. The hole in the she'll grows
larger and larger and finally head and
neck. covered with what looks like coarse
seant hair, are thrust out. Then kick.
ing and serambling takes place on the
part OF the chicken to free himself from
his she'll. EverynOw and then he will
pause and lie supinely for a while, ex-
haustod by his efforts. Finally he Is free,
and in few hours is fluffy, lively lit
tie Chick"

Blemishes on the standard Dollar.


New York Tribune. ...l..f l...r
Morgan, the English engraysr of the
die for the standard or 'buzzafd" dollar
animated perhaps by an ambition SINH
lar to that OF the youth who fired the
EphesianId0me, struggled into his work
in two places the initial letter OF his
surname. Although microscopic in size
these ms" are plainly observable on
the coin even to The naked eye after
careful search. An eagle eyed Wall
Street. man recently discovered one of
the letters and Immediately started the
following puzzle among his acquain-
tances; Find three letter Ms on the
standard dollar. Two are readily found
one in the word "unum" and another in
America" but the third is not SO easily
found. An interview with Chief Drum
mOnd Of the United States Secret service
showed that there are four Ma instead
OF three, and the fourth hitherto .unnO-
ticed even by Wall Street msn. was
pointed out to the reporter. Mr.. Drum
mOnd laughed when his attention was
called to the matter and said: THE
presence OF those extra letters on the
standard dollar was brought tony no
tics by one Of my clerks. They were of
course cut In the die by Morgan" The
chief OF the secret service acknowledged
that they had not escaped the attention
Of the cOunterfsiter who had placed them
on the false coins. Ola u a9.Ta 4iit
Similar instances of the mutilatiOn of
dies are recalled in the case Of English
and French engravsrs' work. WyOn,
the artist to the English mint, many
years ago, placed on the plate Of post
age stamp a "W" ON so minute charac-
ter that for years the stamp circulated,
without doubt Of its perfection. The
eventual discovery of the blsmish Great
4 sensation in England; the objeetiOnal
addition to the work was promptly eras-
Cd, and a stringent law passed against
the commission Of like offence. In
the reign Of Napoleon III an Nsngraver
placed the initial letter of his surname
on the plate for stamp. This also was
OF such microscopic dimensions that il
escaped dsteetion for long time. The
discovery Of the fact led to the same re-
suit as In the English case.
