DENVER, Col, Aug. 10.-Au Ell Paso
special Associated Press dispatch says:
Everything is very quiet to-day, and what
little excitement prevails does not come to
the surface, The immediate cause for this
tranquil state Of affairs is an exchange OF
views that was had last evening between
the municipal authorities OF Paso Del
Norte and this place. Both sides have
additional police officers on duty, and any
rash act will be readily suppressed. Cut
ting is still in Jail, and the time for start
ing for Chihuahua has not been made
known. The absence of any Washington
news this morning relative to the interna-
tional complications causes a dread anxiety
among many.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-It is stated at
the War and Navy Departments to-day that
while the fighting branches of the Govern
| ment are in their customary condition of
| readiness for action Of offensive or defen-
sive, the present difficulties with Mexico
are as yet the exclusive concern OF the dip
lomatic branches, and that no movements
OF troops or vessels have yet been ordered
with a view of possible warfare. AT the
State Department it is said there is moth.
ing new, which it wonld be proper to make
public OF the present, but that there Is
still no reason to doubt an amicable ad-
justment of the Cutting affair. II is un'
officially learned that q correspondence il
now in progress that is expected to bring
about definite results of some kind within
a few days, and that the direct objects
sought to be accomplished by this Govern
ment are first the release of Cutting.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Aug. 10-Reports Of
damage by fires comes from all points.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Aug. 10.-Passengers
of the Wisconsin Central train report that
the fires are thoroughly checked as far as
Wausau, though fires north OF that point
are still ablaze. A rain last night seems
to have checked, and, in a measure, extin-
guished the fires around Eau Claire, and
all fears of an outbreak that would result
in considerable damage are allayed. The
thermometer at Eau Claire to-day is 1902
degrees in the shade.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-At II o'clock this

Winding UP the Owl.

In one OF the Bowery museums, in q wire

he walked around the cage the big, fiat eyes of
the owl remained fixed upon him. He kept on,

Celebration Of Animals.


Celebration was long quite uninteIligible, that
OF creatures which are very conspicuous and
often so gaudily colOred as to attract attention;
but 1t is now found that many groupes OF species
thus colored have totally different kind OF
protection in being endowed with such an
offensive odOr and taste as to be inedibie.
Whole families of butterflies, moths. beetles,
and other insects are now known by actual
experiment to be 50 protected, and these i'll
every case possess conspicuous colOrS, or at all
events are entirely wanting in those protective
hues which characterize most creatures which
serve as food to others. Another class of
animals possess deadly weapons, like the slipgs
OF wasps and the poison fangs of snakes, aud
these Olsen exhibit conspicuous cOlOrs or some

lions OF these forms OF useful characters may

From the LONDON society.
Before two Quakers could marry-thatis, and
remain In the society-the parties were required
to attend q meeting and publicly announce
their intention OF being welded. A committee
was then appointed, which instituted inquiries
to discover, among other things, whether the
man was In position to marry, and whether
he was free from the claims of any earlier affec-
ton. Ihey also inquired into the state
OF his health, aud whether his relations
had any objection to bis marrying and If not, il
they saw reason to object 10 the wife he had
chosen. committee OF women made similar
inquiries regarding the girl, and were very p2r.
ticular in examining whether she had ever
hirted unwiseiy or otherwise miscOnducted her
sell. That the young couple had not sufficient
means 10 marry upon was not considered In
itself an insuperable bar, for the society, not
fund from which grants could be made
towards furnishing In very early times the
parties were expected to be accompanied by
their parents, or at least to bring duly signed
ana Witnessed assents from them, when they
attended TO announce their intention OF getting
married, but this WAS soon given up.
On u date fixed. the parties were required to
attend another meeting, when, after they had
seated they were still In the same mind, aud If
the committees of inquiry had reported favor
ably, permission to marry was formally given,
anu day Tor The nuptials fixed.
Inere was no approach to u formal ceremony
at the wedding. After a period OF worship
generally siient-the engaged pair stood up and
took each other Tor better or worse; certi-
1cate recording the fact was then read and
signed by number OF witnesses, never less
than twelve; then perhaps a few friends might
be moved to speak, but II not, silent worship
was resumed as calmly as If nothing of import
anee had just taken place.
Fox never lost an opportunity of impressing
on his followers the impOrta nce OF having mar
riages duly Witnessed and registered, Tor very

details. In England, unless the parents have
married according TO law, the children are, as
every one knows, Legitimate. The primitive
QuaKers were in rather an awkward Tx, for

was constantly denied. The Legality Oh these
marriages was set at rest forever in 1862 by q
