had evidently been adrift for many months
The mate, who had been examining her
intently through the glass, suddenly OK
claimed
"There are animals moving about on top
of her deck house. / cannot make out what

"Seizing the glass, could see some small
objects moving about on the house, but
what they were could not imagine. hi.

away, we ran down close aboard the hulk
and imagine our surprise when we discover

Cats !"
"Yes, cats and kittens. Twenty or thirty
Of 'em. They clambcred up and down the
stumps Of the masts and ran around the
deck-house and stood up like monkeys,
with their forepaws beating the air, while
they yowled like mad"

New York letter-cai rier, arrested for
his misdeed, was found to have got rid Of
his letters by dumping good many ofthem
in heap behind an old chimney. Imagine
the confusion among the people on bis

system when the liver fails TO make n prop

clogged, and there is general breaking
down. Browns Iron Bitters arrests the
mischief and puts the liver in good working

THE RECENT interference of this country
with the affairs Of Chill, Perea, Nicaragua,
Corea and Congo has naturally induced for
eign governments to believe that tho old
American policy of avoiding entanglng
foreign alliances left as n heritage by Gene
raj Washington, aud under which the coun-
try has thriven so long and so well, has
been abandoned, and that hereafter the
United States will have foreign policy.
From the way things were going on there is
hardly a doubt that such would have been
the case had The republican party remained
in power much longer; but the belief refer.
red to will soon be dispelled by the .incom-
ing democratic administration.

Now THAT the Senate has rejected Presi
dent Arthur's Nicaraguan treaty, and when
therefore his action cannot be attributed to
interested motives, Admiral Shufeldt, who
until this time has taken no part in the
matter, has written public letter in which
he gives the most convincing practical aud
scientific, a. we'll as national reasons, for the
Senate's refusal to ratify the treaty, and
shows conclusively that this country should
have nothing to do with the construction OF
an interoceauic canal across Ncaraguan ter
ritory. All disnterested reasonable people
know that the United States has just as
much, and no more, to do with building q
canal in Nicaragua than with one in the
moon,

AMONG TIE petitions presented in the U.
s. Senate yesterday was one by Mr.. Sherman
from some of his admirers praying that the
electoral votes of several Southern States
be-not ,eenn.ea when The certificates shall
he. opened in Congress on the 18th instant,
because the republicans in those States were
bulldozed and otherwise inundated at
the election. It would have been much
better for Mr.. Sherman's reputation for fair
and honorable action If the petition referred
to had been one for throwing out the cleo
toral vote OF his own State; for the report OF
the Congressional Committee who investl-
gated the election there will show that In
the worst Of the KIN klux days in the South
nothing was ever done there to equal the
fraud, bribery and bulldozug practiced by
the republicans in Cincinnati.

THE Record, though published IN me
manufacturing city of Philadelphia, and IN
the manufacturing State of Pennsylvania
is wise enough to know that protection IS
really beneficial to neither employer nor en-
ployees, and lhatit certainly does not protect
labor nor enhance wages, and which therefore
advocates revenue tariff, says, in aIludlng
to the recent election of low taiiii Senator
from Arkansas, "the South is not so strong
ly enamored of protection as our friends OF
that creed would have US think" The South
is democratic, and as a low tariff is one OF
tho cardinal principles of democracy 1t
would stultify itself if it were to favor pro-
lection. The high tariff republicans IN the
North try to stimulate their followers ny
laying great stress upon reported protec-
ton boom in the South, but the revenue
tariff democrats of the former section need
not be disheartened by any such t"addle.
