NEW YORK, Oct 26.-The present wife
of Ex-Governor Sprague sends the follow.

Mcthinks hear you say, on receipt of this,

forty years of Kate Chase'S intrusion upon

II is incumbent on me to deny it publicly.
Governor Spra-ue has never uttered harsh
dorse sentiments which he does not believe
wholly or in part: Since Katherine
Chase has been asitating the removal
of her fathers body, she has beguiled
the interim by entertaining reporters
with "reminiscences and showering forth her
charms, assur ng the puphc that she mar.

political interests. thus martyring herself on
the altar of Mammon. "A recent article in

AN HISTORIC CANE.


A Newspaper Man Carries . Piece Of the
Old Frig.te Constitution.
'.Do you see that stick, /" said Mr.. A.
p. Cunningham, of the National Re.
publican, as he held out plain brown
walking-stick for inspection. "Wcll,
that stick is historical. Did you ever
hear of the United States frigate Con-
stitution? That cane is made from one
of the original pieces of that vessel,
which was built in 1885 by subscrip.
ton from the women of Boston and
Massachusetts,. In 1875 the frigate
was brought down to the navy yard at
Philadelphia, which now belongs to the
Pennsylvania railroad, and was there
Overhauled and rebuilt, the only orig
inal pieces left in her being her keel
son, part of her cutwater, five or six
ribs and her after bits. This piece is
part of the original molding in the
berth deck. its companion piece being
in the possession of Senator Logan. l
was in charge of the Constitution at
the time of her rebuilding, and cut
the piece out and had it finished under
my personal supervision. When re-
fitted the ship went to sea awhile and
is now in the old dock ut the Brooklyn
navy yard. She is one of the finest
built ships ever put together on Amer
lean stocks. Every timber in her was
live oak, her decks were of yellow pine,
and she was copper-fastened from stem
to stern. BY the way, believe she
still carries her original figurehead."

A Skeptical Omcial,

WASHINGTON, Oct 29-The Indian
Bureau is little skeptical over the
alleged magnificent offer about to
be made by New York syndicate
to the Cherokees for their lands
in the Indian Territory. An official said to-
day: Three dollars per acre would GER
tainly be magnificent price for those lands,
but can not conceive that any firm would
want such aquantity of land of one kind
in one locality as 100000 acres Ny pri-
vate opinion Is that this story is q sensation

How Chinaman Gets into Business.

Wong Chin Foo. the Chinese ex- journalist, tells how his countrymen get into business in America. He says: "One of my race arrives here with no money and in debt to his friends or to bankers for the steamer and railroad fare. He generally engages himself as a greenhorn or apprentice to some suc- cessful laundryman. Although the compensation is small (S4 or $5 per week and board), for the six months or one year of his contract, he learns the business, pays off his debts, and gains good name for integrity and capabil- ity. At the end of hi" term, if he is . skilled workman, he can either secure first-S4Iss wages (SlS per week), or open laundry of his own. The latter is his usual course. He may see, for example, laundry for sale for 5000, whose looks and location he likes, and he himself has but $50 to his name. He goes to Mott street and there on the bulletin boards puts up a notice call ing for whey or syndicate of twelve men with $50 each to meet him at certain time and place. The meeting Is had, and if he be regarded as honest and capable the requisite $jj0 is given to him, he in return acknowledging the indebtedness, and promising to pay certain interest on the money ad- vanced (generally 20 per cent. per an- uum). This money is paid back in monthly installments, so that at tho end of a year the borrower is free from debt, his credit unimpaired and the laundry absolutely his own."

Mrs. Hulscamp.

The New York 7'0-day says: "Con- versing with lady of my acquaintance recently, the daug ghter of Signor Moro sini, shed a curious and melancholy light upon the domestic fife from which she found refuge in the romantic fashion already fully described by the press. She said: Imagine the life we led up there and in the city and do not think you will blame me for what did. We had a beautiful home, and were entirely shut out from the world by its walls. We enjoyed every luxury possible, but had to enjoy them all alone. We met at breakfast, and papa read his papers and then went to the city and left us to ourselves. We met at lunch. In the afternoon papa came home and read his papers. Then we met at dinner, and after amusing ourselves as best we could for the evening we went to bed. This was our life day after day the year round. We had few visitors and were not permitted to visit. When we at tended the opera we sat upright in box, looking neither to right nor left, and were hurried there and hurried home again as if there was a pestilence in the streets. We had no gentlemen friends, and were permitted none of the most innocent intercourse with the few gentlemen who visited us. It was like living in jail or nunnery, with no one to talk to, no one to talk to you-a perfect machine of life that always went the same way. Papa was kind, but so stern in his ideas that he seemed to regard it as a crime for us to think or act for ourselves in the most trifling things. It was as melancholy as con stant funeral n

Hot Water For All.

A well-known engineer of this city has devised plan for mitigating the severity of winter and spring in the North At lantic States and warming the blue noses of our friends in Nova Scotia. The great warm current called the Gulf Stream surges by us on its northeasterly course, but it is commonly believed that the British isles and southwestern Flu rope get the benefit of it. With this stream almost within our reach we shiver and freeze through the winter months and that horrible season called spring. because river of ice water from the glaciers of the pole pushes it away from our coast Mir. Goodrige, the philanthropic engineer to whom we re- fer, proposes to dam this polar river in the strait of Belle Isle and turn its waters eastward into the wide Atlantic. This strait, which separates Newfound- land from Labrador, is at one point only ten miles wide and 150 feet deep. There he would invest S40,000, 900 in a dam.
 He suggests that the interpretation of this obstacle would raise the temperature of the coast from Newfoundland to Cape Hatteras. Invalids could pass their winters at Cape Cod or on Block Island, the St. Lawrence Gulf and river would become navigable throughout the year, and the Newports of the future would lie on the shores of Nova Scotia. Giving free rein to his imagination, he sees the defected polar current striking the Gulf stream off the banks of Newfoundland, bending it southward, and compelling it to waste its warmth upon the shores of Africa, while the perishing Britons fly to their Indian empire to save their lives.
 That there is Gulf stream has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all reasonable men. Moreover, we know that there is 8 polar current pouring down from the north along the coast of Labrador and following the shore-line as far south as Sandy Hook. But while this current hugs the coast, not all of its waters pass through the narrow strait which Mir. Goodrige proposes to dam. On the contrary, there is reason to believe that these waters for the most part pass outward around the eastern shore of Newfoundland. The dam would be a source of great comfort to the people who inhabit the shores of the St. Lawrence Gulf, but New England and New York would still be in the cold. .-Nea0 Fork Times.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I9.-Speaker Car lisle carries bis democracy into the con- test. There is a vast difference of opi- nion upon the status of the committee on coinage. There are many new members on this committee whose views upon the question of silver coinage are unknown.
