CHRISTINA TAKING THE OATH.
Swearing to Guard the Constitution and
Laws of Spain,
From a Madrid Letter.
- ,.o,,oI ocr4ooeo xri+h ell the mar

From a Aadrid Letter.
The royal cortege, with all the para
phernalia usual on state occasions, left
the palace for the House of Congress at
o'clock this afternoon. All the houses
along the route were decorated with the
national cOlors to an even greater extent
than was customary during the life OF the
late King. The people gave the Queen
Regent and the two young Princesses &C.
companying her a cordial aud respectful
reception, both on their going to and re-
turning from the Congress. The roadway
was kept clear by lines of infantry, and
in the Puerta del Sol by cavalry. The eX'
Queen, Isabella, did not take part IN the
proceedings, as that would have been con-
trarv TO precedent.
The lnfantas Isabel and Eulalia, ac-
companed by the Detrothed Of the latter,
the Infante Don Antonio, were the first to
enter the hall Of Congress, taking their
places on the left of the throne. Then
entered Queen Christina, holding with
her right hand the little Princess OF the
Asturias, who in turn held the hand Of
her younger sister. AS the Queen seated
herself on the throne. hearty UjUdS were
given, not only by the Deputies and Sena-
tors on the floor, but by the people IN the
tribunes. The President OF the Congress,
Senior Antonio CanOvas del Castillo, APP
preaching the foot of the throne, then
said
"Senora, will it please your Majesty to
relterate before the Cortes the oath which
before the Council Of Ministers you have
already made, in accordance with article
80 OF the constitution -
Queen Christina rising, placed her right
hand on the Gospels, and sald
81 swear by God and the Holy Gospels
to be faithful to the heir to the crown dur
ing his or her minority, aud to guard the
laws; so God help and defend me, and if
| fail may He punish mew
The Queen pronounced the oath in
low tone Of voice, but with composure
and dignity Having seated herself
again on the throne, the President Of the
Congress, addressing the House, said:
Fine COrtes have witnessed and heard
the oath which her Majesty the Queen
Regent has just reiterated to be faithful
to the legitimate successor of Don Alton
so, to guard the Constitution and the
laws
The Queen, Princesses, and Intantas
then left the hall, being cheered as they
passed through the lobbies by the specta-
tors who mad patiently waited for hours
to see them. The return to the palace
passed off without incident.
That Her Majesty did not take the oath
kneelng is due to the fact of her being
Queen as well AS Regent. She appeared
to have improved considerably in health
during the past week, and both children,
especially the Princess of the hsturias,
looked well. The ceremony in Congress
did not take more than twelve minutes.
The Inauguration of the Regency has been
carried out in business-llke and thor
oughly legal form, which other countries,
supposed to be more serious than Spain
and more advanced in civilization and
good government, could not have i'm
proved upon.

l'lREMEN'S YEARS WORK.
$4,000 THIS ESTIMATED LOSS
BY FIRE IN 1885.

Nfoefv seven Alarms Answered by the
Department During the Past Twelve
Nroutha-Chtef Fireman FernaHdez's
recommendations In His Annual Re
port TO the Mayor.
Chief Fireman Adolph Fernando, in his
report for 1855, estimates the loss to the
CITY bv FIRE last wear at about 500 900. OF
this amount $24 900 worth of property was
destroyed IN Que conaaSration. The
large fire in the western section of the
CITY last March cauatd almost AS great a
loss as ali The o.uer fires did during the
rest Of the year
Ninety-seyen Alarms We're answered by
the Sire Department. The totalinsurance
on the property where fires occurred, was
SI,I00090. Last year the department cost
the city SD, 600, about 81. coo more tnan IN
I7,A One-tbirl OF this was caused by the
Increase Of $40 per year to the SO call
men. One Of the engines was rebuilt and
1000 feet OK new hose was purchased. Sa-
yauuah now has engines, and 1900 feet
If hose. and "a force OF 49, l0en. Nineteen OF
t1ese are permanent.
Under Chef Fernandez the Depart
meut is bec0ming more effective every
wear, An excellent system OF discipline
prevails. Nerve and quick work alone
prevented several fires last year from be-
ing very disa stroue.
Of au the fires tuat broke out none was
in a more dangerous location than the
blaze III Hauley' s paint and oil store. Ii
wac eXtiuLuished with a loss OF less than
o hundred dollars. Very little water was
used, and scarcely anything was damaged
by water. A ire caused by an electric
lamp 10 Nitcheli's clothing store was put
out without any hose being used.
Another fire in most dangerous local
ity Wds the one in DaVIson's shoe store on
BrougbtOn street, near Whitaker. On
each side Of the store was valuable and
5nhammabIe property.
A number Of last years fires were plain
j. of incendiary origin. Several fires were
manifesty started for the purpose of get

THE SILVER QUESTION.
the Savannah Cotton Exchange Memo
rial to Congress.

the Savannah Cotton Exchange Memo
rial to Congress.
The committee appointed by the savan-
nan Cotton Exchange TO prepare a memo
rial to Congress urging the repeal OF the
present laws relating to silver coinage,
has submitted its report. The memorial
is as follows:
1.-The Savannah Cotton Exchange re-
specially represents:
''Ehat the compulsory coinage of silver
under the act OF February, 1878. is caus-
ing grave apprehensions of harm to the
credit Of the government and the pros
perity OF the people.
That the dangers to result from con-
tinuing the coinage Of silver under exist
Ing laws are c0nclusyely stated in the
PRESIDENTS message ard the report of the
secretary OF the Treasury, hence it is I'M
necessary 70 repeat them indetau to your
honorable BODY
That the south IS greatly interested in
this question because silver certificates
are very largely used IN paying for the
cotton crop, These certificates are only
1edeemable in silver dollars; silver dol
lars were worth less than 100 cents when
their coinage commenced, and are now
worth less than so cents OF their proposed
value; and the loss which VIII ultimately
result from this deprecated currency will
1all upon the farmers, who are the princi-
pal holders OF these silver certificates
"9his Exchange, therefore, prays that
the recommendation of the President be
adopted, aud the compulsory coinage OF
silver dollars directed by the law OF Feb.
ruary, 1875 be suspended"
The memorial IS unanimously Endorsed
10y the Exchange, ana has been forwarded
to Washington.

That's what's the matter, and why we
have kept so mum for a week or so.
But the ink has thawed at last and now
look out for music.
By the way, before we forget it, let US
remark as an eye-opener, that our Piano
and Organ trade for December was the
largest we were ever afflicted with.
Our sales book shows that we sold.
ShtDped and deLirered in SAID month over
10000 worth of Pianos and Organs. These
are GctUot yidureS, and rot one iota exag-
gerated
And yet our worried competitors saw
that our Piano and Organ trade is falling
of, and hence we put in other goods to
make up for it.
Not much, dear friends. We haven't
lost our grip in the least. and our Piano
and Organ business Will increase rather
than decrease.
Since Oct. / we have been too rushed to
push city trade as sharply as usual, but
from now on we shall give new beginners
something TO do, and hard row to hoe.
Watch our advertisements, and keep
posted. Some OF these days we shall give
away Pianos, and you don't want to miss
that particular day. l.. Il b. 5. NJ. II.

OLD JIM DEAD.
The Oldest Tiger in the Country, Owned
by the Geological Society.

by the Geological Society.
From the PAUddelphiu Times
jim, the Oldest and largest tiger in the
United States, is dead He died in his
cage at the geological garden at 8 O'Clock
Thursday morning, at the ripe age of 25
years. Jim was bought from P. L. Bar
mum more than ten years ago. Until
within the past few years he was very
fierce, and during the centennial year he
killed his mate. His keeper followed the
fortunes of his royal tigership from Cen
tral park, New York, where be was Kept
by Barnum during the winter months, to
the geological garden, and waited upon
him daily until he died.
The death Of Jim was not unexpected
az Old age told heavily upon him, and he
has been kept alive of late by tender
nursing. During the declining years of
his life Jim became very patient and
showed great friendliness for those to
whom he was indebted for kindly acts.
His skeleton will be prepared and
sent to some scientific institution. As his
skin was not in good condition, owing to
his age, it will not be preserved. Jim's
death leaves only a tiGress in the collec-
ton. 1t is intended to purchase some
new animals in the spring and among
them will probably be another tiger.
