A Strange Beast in Havre.


 The Havre aquarium has just put on ex- hibition one of the most curious, and espe- cially one of the rarest, of animals-the pre- hensile tailed eoendon (Synethere prehenzi- lis). 1t was brought from Venezuela by Mr. Equidaza, the commissary of the steamer Co., lombie. Brehm says that never but two have been seen-one of them at the Hamburg Geological Garden and the other at London. The one under consideration, then. would be the third specimen that has been brought alive to Europe. This animal, which is al lied to the porcupines, is about three and a half feet long. The tail alone is one and half feet in length. The entire body, save the belly and paws, is covered with quills, which absolutely hide the fur. Upon the back, where these quills are longest (about four inches), they are strong, cylindrical, shining, sharp pointed, white at the tip and base, and blackish brown in ths middle. The animal in addition, has long and strong moustaches. The paws, anterior and poste- rior, have four fingers armed with strong nails, which curved and nearly eyln- drical at the base.
 Very little is known about the habits of the animal. All that we do know is that it passes the day in slumber at the top of tree and that it prowls about at night, it's food consisting chiefly of leaves of all kinds When it wishes to descend from one branch to another it suspends itself by the tail, and lets go of the first only when it has firm hold of the other. One peculiarity is that the extremity of the dorsal part of the tail is prehensile. This part is deprived of quills for length of about six inches The coen- don does not like to be disturbed. When it does it advances toward the intruder and endeavors to frighten him by raising it's quills all over it's body. The natives of Cen tral America eat it's flesh and employ its quills for various domestic purposes. The animal is quite extensively distributed throughout South America It is found in Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Guiana, and in some of the Lesser Antilles, such as Trini- dad, Barbadoes, Saint Lucia, etc.

A NOTABLE BOSTON NOTION.

A NOIABLE HOSION NOTION. Some Boston women have been and are doing a notable work in the industrial train ing of some of the boys and girls of Boston. One of their productions is called Boston School Kitchen No. 1, and is very interest ing affair There are two teachers in this school, one trained in the Boston Cooking school, the other young English lady, who has taken the full course of instruction in an English cooking school. In each class are fifteen girls from thirteen to sixteen years old. They are selected by the master of the public school to which they belong. But there is no compulsion. The lessons are three hours each, in the regular school time Among the pupils are eight girls from the Horace Mann school for deaf mutes, where they have been taught visible speech, or reading from the lips, and they find no diff culty in following what the teacher says They are in four different classes, two in each class, and get we'll as the pupils who can hear. It is noticeable also that in each class there is at least one colored girl. Ten classes week, with fifteen girls in each class, give result of three hours week to each of 150 girls. The course is twenty lessons, we'll arranged and the teaching includes taking care of the kitchen, clearing away the dishes, securing the tins, the bread pans, tables, perfect order for the use of the next class. All this costs the city nothing, but is paid for by benevolent women.
 Another industrial school has been estab- lished in building owned by several women who bought it for charitable work. It is ft- ted up with kindergarten school rooms, shoe- makers shops. printing offices, carpenters shop, laundry, sewing rooms, kitchen and li- brary, and is under the direction of devoted women and earnest teachers. There are from twelve to fifteen boys in each class, and they are from eleven to fourteen years old. The pupils there are expected to number 150 girls learning cooking, one lesson a week; 96 boys learning carpentry; 96 shoemaking; 112 printing, each one lesson of two hours 8 week. All these pupils, boys and girls, take these lessons voluntarily; they come from the grammar schools, and are under the rules of the public schools in all matters that late to absence tardiness and discipline.
 These classes are part of the public sys- tenn of instruction, only the whole expense of them is paid by women, who are so confident of the benefit of this kind of industrial work for children that they willing to bear the whole cost of the experiment. In all cases these women, the masters and the sub-com- mittee on manual training in schools have worked together. There is no interference with public schools. The work is very useful one

| By means of 8 simple chemical process a beautiful coloring of yellow is now given to marble without any injurious effect upon the polish or hardness of the stone. Neutral chloride of iron is for this purpose dissolved in ninety per cent. of alcohol and after gently heating the marble to be colored the solution in question is applied by means of a brush, a sprinkler, or by pouring, the strength of the solution being, of course, proportioned to the depth of the color de sired, and care being requisite also in regard to the degree of temperature. On the mar b1e becoming completely dry it is moistened with water or exposed to moist air, when the decomposition of the salt of iron takes place in the upper strata and the process of cobra ton is complete, all that remains to be done being to polish the surface, if necessary, or it may te simply rubbed off with 8 wet cloth For light tints very diluted solutions are applied.
 It was generally believed that the British franchise act would add about 2, ,000,- 900 voters to the list. The Pall Mall Ga zette has figured up the precise effect of the extension of the franchise. The number of registered electors in 1880 was 8, ,03S, 726, and is now 5,711, ,920, showing au increase of 2673, 1914 This raises England from the fifth to the fourth place among European countries in this respect. The percentage of electors to population in France is 26.9, in Switzerland 24.5, in Germany 2009 and in England 16.3 The Gazette remarks: "This interesting fact is another instance of the ad- vantage that it SO often is in politics that the thickness of the other end of a wedge is not always visible at the time. MT. Goschen and others were terribly nervous, as it was, at the prospect of adding 2,000, ,00O new voters to the rolls; they might have caught their death O fright had they known that the numberwould be 3,OOO,00
 In an address before the Liverpool Geo. logical society, by Prof. Reade, on ''The De- mutation of the Two Americas,' he shows that 150. .000, 900 tons of matter in solution are annually poured into the Gulf of Mexico by the Mississippi river, and this, it is esti- mated, would reduce the time for the denud- ation of one foot of land over the whole ba- sin-which time has hitherto been calculated solely from the matter in suspension-from one foot in 5000 years to lone foot in 4,5O0 years. Similar calculations applied to the La Plata, the Amazon and the St. Lawrence show that an average of one hundred tons to the square mile per annum are removed from the whole American continent. This, it is stated, agrees with results previously arrived at by Professor Read in respect to Europe, from which it is inferred that the whole of the land draining into the Atlantic from America, Africa, Europe and Asia contrib utes matter in solution which, if reduced to rock at two tons to the cubic yard, would equal one cubic mile every six years.

 It frequently pays man better to get wounded on railroad than to get killed. The Chicago and Alton railroad has just been ordered to pay man $22, ,O00 for injur- ing his spine. If he had been killed he would probably have been called worth about 30, 900.
 The Boston Globe ought to know better than to talk like this: The Republican mi nority in the city of New Haven, masquerad- ing under the name of the Taxpayers asso- ciation," has a scheme on foot, and hopes to engineer it through the legislature, for con- solidating the town and city governments. The thinly disguised object of the scheme is, of course, to gerrymander the good "City of Elms," which is overwhelmingly Demo- cratic, that the Republican minority can con- trol the legislative representation.
 The shipbuilding trade has been very de- pressed on the Clyde during the past year. Two hundred and forty one vessels, of an az gregate tonnage of 193, ,45S tons, have been launched, which shows falling off of 103,- 400 tons as compared with last year, and it is by far the lowest return since 1879. The best year ever known on the Clyde was 1883, when the tonnage was ,000 tons. The prospects for next year are fairly good and there are signs of revival ill trade, as 8 large number of orders have been booked in the principal yards, including an unprotect- ed cruiser of the Spanish government, which is to attain the amazing speed of twenty-two knots per hour.
 Chinese ideas of discipline are peculiar A short time since the land office at Fussu Hong was attacked by thirty bandits dis guised as regular troops. The officer in charge defended the place bravely and did not yield until one of his men had been kill ed and himself and five others wounded. The robbers plundered the treasury, set fire to the office and rode off. In any other country the officer would have been commended for his bravery; but the Chinese authorities looked at the matter differently, and he was pronounced severely to blame for not having taken measures to acquaint himself with the advance of the robbers and for having failed to beat them off He was therefore cashier ed, while the officer in special charge of the treasury was adjudged to have had larger sum deposited than he should have kept by him and was called upon to make good the loss to the public out of his own funds.

An Explanation.

TUCSON, A. T., Oct g, 1886.
 EDITcRCrTIzES-Dear Sir: I know you would not knowingly do ne iuiastice. The author of the article in last evenings issue of your paper headed "Apother Scheme Exposed" is evidently in error. MT. hreshsm was my duly appointed deputy and acting as such. The fact that his appointment Was not recorded could effect only his acts as deputy clerk or The District Court of Pima County, and declarations of intention were made ID the District Court Of the First Judi cial District, and Territorial laws can not regulate the clerk cf that court. There ls no irregularIty iu the "declara- tons Of intention made since I have been clerk. Whoever comes and makes the necessary oath is entitled to sertlfi. cate of that fact. I learn that ir one or two instances, when Mir. Kreshau and l were both at work q making the original declaration in my boo,,s and he making the copy) that he by accident cettinea 70 the copy in my name as dep u'y' II there ne any error in this. the original IS valid and the holder would oe entitled tn A correct copy. At best It IS but clerical error, nut existing in the original and easily corrected by a copy.
 AS Tor the Tomas Rico matter, This man wrote hls own name to his oriyi Lsl declaration of intention" At my re- guest he came ID and took my seat snd l gave him my pen and saw him with hls name Antonio R:con and I swore him to II.

CAUGHT AT IT.

How the Democrats Deceive Aliens and Make Voters sf Them.
 It has been the common talk about the streets during Ghe past several days that Pedro Pellon and Charles Kreshsm were very industriously at work natural iZing Mexicans who did not understand the nature of theIr acts in swearing an allegiance to the United States. It was also rumOred that the expense of the declarations was not borne by the Rppli- cants for the privilege. and that sundry promises were made them of deceptive nd designing character.
 This morning a prominent Mexican gentleman who IS 6 bona fide citizen of the United States, found one of these ready-made citizens and questioned him closely upon the matter. The result was full confession and the deceived youth asked leave to make sn affidavit of the circumstances attending it, of which the following IS a true copy:
 TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,
 County of Pima. '9
 Personally appeared before me one Tomas Rico, who, being duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that on yesterday (23d) Pedro Pellon insisted
  ton papers, that Is, my declaration of intention. told him that was not 2l years of age, but PellOn said that made no difference, that l could say l was 22, he sad 1t would make no diff ference and that must do 1t for him us favor. He almost pulled me along and l went involuntarily and my decls- ration of intention was taken before the clerk. I have since learned that l was sworn to the statement, although noth- ing was interpreted to me. learn this morning that my name was put down Antonio Rico" whereas my true name is Tomas Rico. As nm informed that my conduct msy be considered criminal desire to state the facts and disclaim any criminal intent or even knowledge of the effect of the act.
 (Sjgnej) ToNAs Rico.
 Subscribed and sworn to before me this 2ith day of September. A. D., 1886.
 ASTHoSY CoESEN,
 Notary Public.
 He also stated that Pellon had prom ised him some blankets and clothing and other benefits, and that Kresham had calmed his fears of legal conse- quences by saying that the democrats run things and that they had all the law and authorities on their side SO there could be no trouble.
 Tomas Rico signed his application for his first papers ss Antonio Rico. and be registered with Judge c. H. Meyer, signing the necessary affidavit ss Anto- nio Rico. He new says that IS not his name and that he IS not Fl years of age, and don't want to become a citizen.
 Just how many more such cases will be yet found. It is difficult to predict, but the corrupt practice wIll be at once nipped in the bud, and the msnipulat- DTS will probably be called before the grand jury in an investigation upon a charge of subornstion of perjury.-l DAILY CITIZEN, Sep. 24.

Fred Hnghes' Incomnetcncv

"Ihe enclosed form should accompany every registration certificate of persons WHO ARE NOT NATIVE BORN CITIZENS more especially where the parties are not known to you."
 "Ihe form spoken of in my letter wss the one required where natdralized citi- gems ore not known to the registering officer, where the second party is re- qulred to recognize them"
 The above extracts are from Fred Hughes letter to the Pantsno register ing officer and his published e1plans- tion of It. His instructions to that off cer were solely in regard to persons mot nBtlye bQrn 3usuChed the resOhefi.um Il - In'~.~-- suo more espeelany the parties not known" to him. He gave DO instructions that an affidavit was re- quired for EVERY NATIVE BORN CITIZEN KNOWN OR UNKNOWN to the registering officer, aud therefore ten native born voters were Irregulsrly returned and their right of suffrage jeOpardized. IT this IS not sufficient evidence of the county clerks Incompstency what more can unreasonable person require2
 Now will Fred Hughes please state why he did not furnish the Pantano registering officer with copy of the printed registration laws out of the two hundred copies turned over to him by Recorder Sampson for such purposes:
 Why did he write such an imperfect. misleading letter of instructions. when he had copies of the law and full in- structIons in printed pamphlet form (l5 psges) for that purposey
 Did he purpOsely attempt to disirsn- chise ten native born citizens at Pantsno. or Is he totally incompetent official?
 Will some one help him make a satIs- factory reply 10 these pertinent in quires?
