A DEADHEAD DIPLOMAT.
How Minister Buck Worked His Way to
Lima.

INA
From a Washington Lstter.
Allusion was made in the conversation
with Mr.. Rice TO the brewing scandal
about the appointment of Minister Rob-
erts to Chilli in the interest of Mayor
Grace and his firms big claim against
Chill for damages to their property dur
ing the war between Chilli and Peru. Mr..
Rice said that Mr.. Roberts had made a
good impression while on the Isthmus,
but that Minister Buck think his name
is Edward O.-sent to Peru in the same
general interest, was about the oldest
specimen of an American that had even
appeared at Aspinwall. Hesavst the man
must have left New York without money.
He certainly had none when he reached
Aspinwall. lie seems TO think that as the
American Minister to Peru he could
travel with his family of six free Of all
expense, and dine and wine and sleep,

FIsh Cured BIZ Chinamen.

In the rear of Mott street, SAYS the New
York Sun, are several yards with soil
worn as hard as wood and fences stud
ded with numberless tenpenny nails In
almost every one is q small Chinese
smoke house. 1t resembles the one COM
monty employed in this country, except
that the fire is built in brick or iron
range outside of the house. BY this
continuance there is less danger Of ig-
hitting the woodwork. and mere and
richer smoke can be obtained from the
fuel consumed. These fences and smoke
houses are used by the inhabitants of
Chinatown for curing fish-the former
for drying or jerking and the latter for
smoking. Yesterday thousands Of fishes
hung from the nails and smoke oozed
from each smoke house.
The proprietor of one smoke house
said: "This is a new industry in New
York, but a very old one in the great
cities of china. It would not pay to
cure fish the whole year round, as we
could not compete with the fishermen.
But by waiting till the market is glut-
ted we can buy fish at so low figure as
to pay us very handsome profit, beside
providing wholesome food. The ope-
ration or operations are very simple The
fish are split, cleaned. and fiattened out.
Some are smoked in those smokchouses;
some are dried upon those nails; some
are dipped in strong brine and then
cured in the same way but most are first
partially smoked and then thoroughly
dried. The most popular fish is the
porgy, but we also cure mackerel, her
ring, founder, cod, and, in fact, every
fish that we can buy very cheap. Thus
far this has been a wonderful year for
our industry. In the winter cod was q
drug in the market several times, and
last month mackerel for a week sold as
low as ten for cent, and broke the fish
market all to pieces. Who uses our
goods2 Our own countrymen, of course,
all over the land. We are beginning to
sell to Americans, and have already built
up large trade with Cuba and the West
Indies. Last week / shipped some to
Mexico. There are about sixty of us in
the business. We are all interested in
other vocations. however, because some
times the market will not allow us to cure
fish for month or two Well cured and
kept dry, the fish remain sweet and good
for years. We have sold as low as four
cents a pound, but we try to get as much
as we can. We have large stock on
hand, certainly not less than 400 bar

A Natural Refrigerator.

IN Breckenridge county, three miles
from Walkers mill, is one of the most
remarkable natural ice -houses in the
world and curiosity well worth travel
ing some distance to see. Ii consists Of
q cave with an entrance about eight feet
wide and twelve feet high The tenn
perature in this cave ranges about TWEEN
ty degrees above zero the year round,
and IN the summer time the change is so
great that it nearly freezes q person to
death 20 20 into il. Above the cave on
the hill IS located considerable stream
of water that makes its way III large
drippings through the roof of this re-
markable subtefranean passage. These
drippings CONCEAL in the cave and fall
solid humps OF ice from the ceiling. This
freezing has doubtless besn going on for
years, as the cave contains thousands Of
tons OF ice. Dr.. Fl. G. Duvall, Of Big Clifty,
who had occasion to get some ice from
this natural storehouse for patient in
the neighborhOod, says that il is the
purest and best ice that he . er saw. and

Showed How His Fields We're Won.

The grand annual shouldering of
crutches and showing Of how fields
were won, at Portland. reminds the his
torian OF an occurrence at similar re-
union at Chicago few days ago. There
was sort of competition among the
veterans that year in the matter of
wounds, and Colonel Rickaby, we'll
known Chicago lawyer and semi -politi-
clan. who had really been brave soldier,
though he lacked the soldiery quality of
modesty, distanced all competitors by
appearing at the banquet in a suit of
clothes with apcrtures cut through them
exactly corresponding with oil the wounds
he had received in the service. AS he
had had the good fortune, for public
man, to be shot full of hples and recover,
he presented an exceedingly perforated
appearance at the banqueting board.
Here" he remarked in his voluble
way, pointing to one of his grieyous
rents. 81 was wounded at Pittsburg
Landing; this cut represents a bayonet
thrust at Vicksburg; piece of shell, ex-
ploded at Port Hudson, cut through
here, ETC., etc.
A veteran from the country ventured
to ask the colonel whether q shot had
ever struck him in the jaw, and the Con-
federate FIRE at Fort Wagner wasn't any
more whitening than the look that Rick
ably gave him. Boston Record.

of what was known as the obnoxious
Compensation bill of 1916" His COM
petitor was Mr.. Pope, Kentuckian Of
ability and popularity. An Irish barber,
residing in Lexington, had formerly sup
ported Mr.. Clay with great zeal. During
his canvass, however, Jerry Murphy (for
such was the tonsor's name) took no in
terest in the struggle for partisan victory.
He was often importunedt to tell for whom
he meant TO vote, but always declined to
satisfy curiosity on that point Just
prior to election, DIR. w, one of his
best customers, pressed Jerry to say for
whom he really intended to give his suf-
