THE PEACH-BLOw VASE.

Eighteen Thousand Dollars Paid for a Little
Bit of Chinese Queensware.
New York Tribune.
Half dozen millionaires sat yesterday after
noon among many hundreds of people not
quite so rich and calmly rolled up the thousands
on the piece of porcelain which any of them
might nave put into his overcoat pocket without
it making noticeable bulge. The vase was
about eight inches high, of extremely grace,
full shape, and with color that might be likeneG

SILK IN HER STOMACH.
Singular Cause Of Death Discovered by
Post-Mortem Examination.


Post-Mortem Examination.
Troy IN. Y.) Special.
Mrs. John T. Green, residing at No 479 Ninth
street, died Friday, and it was thought her
death was caused by tumor in the stomach.
She had complained of excruciatng pain in the
side, and there was considerable swelling. A
post-mortem examination, conducted by several
physicians revealed one Of the most singular
cases known to medical science. What was
thought to be tumor proved to be a large roll of
silk and mohair fbres, which had gathered in
the stomach in such way as to be distractions.
Several years ago Mrs. Green then Miss Mary
Kinney, was employed in silk factory in New
Jersey. It is said she had the habit of biting off
the ends of silk thread and chewing them. In
this way it is thought, she swallowed some of the
thread which gradually conferred at the outlet
of the stomach and, with the mohair which she
had swallowed MRS. Green being apparently a
monomaniac on the subject of eating threadsl,
formed the ball found by the physicians
at is most wonderful case,' said physician
this morning ~ never heard of anything like
it before" Mrs. Green's funeral took place to-

the Constitution in the President alone;
let it be true shat, like the power of
appointment the Senate shared with the
President the power of removal; let it be true
that the power of removal was legislative
power, and not an executive power, and that
the entire regulation of it belonged to Congress
under the Constitution. Let all that be true,
he would now call attention to the eXpediency
and practicability of such a power being exer-
cised by the Senate. He read from the report of
the minority, as bearing upon the point, por-
ton of an abstract from the message of Presi-
dent Grant in 1869 calling attention to the en-
barrassments likely to arise from leaving on the
statute books the tenure-of-offce act, and asking
what faith the President could put in subordi-
mates forced upon him, and how such officials
would be likely to serve an administration,
knowing that it had no faith in them.
In conclusion, Mr.. Pugh said his object had
been to define the character Of this conflict of
authority between the President and the Senate,
and to fortify the view that had always been
taken by the Democratic party. and to fortify it
by authorities Mr.. Cleveland had no fear OF an
appeal to the people He was responsible to
them. He supposed the majority IL the Senate
had no fear of appealing to the people in favor
of the omnipotency of the Senate. He knew
the minority had none in appealing to the people
upon the omnipotence of the Constitution and
the integrity of MIR. Cleveand's administration.

EVOLUTION IN ESGL AND.

Whoever says that he doesn't believe
anything in evolution knows not what
he is talking about. The astounding
news is heralded to the four quarters of the
globe that the Engiishman is going to shed
his old ancestral knee breeches Just as the
ancestor of the horse to-day once shed four
of his FIVE toes.
This news from Englsnd will shoE the
true state of affairs: AT the Speaker 3
levees the guests, out Of respect for the
great sndSheroic past, have always mas
uusraded in knee breeehes, cooked hats
and swords. The law which prescribed
this dress has been supposed to be u1re-
pealable. 1.-THE wesrer felt like an idiot,
if his sword and legs became msliciousIy
eutangled, if his cooked hat got all swryr
be was reminded that what was good
enough for his ancestors ought to
BE- good enough for him. Bat
mutiDy has occurred at last. Inc ma
tionalists and radicals are openly rebel
lious, and even the conservatives, who ore
not all milionsires, object to spending
forty FIVE pounds for the privilege OF look
ing ike guys. Permission has been asked
TO appear at these levees in ordinary eve
ming dress.
This is certsinlY gratifying to the coed
people everywhere. The world do move
aud is growing better BY this process Of
evolution. Americans shed their knee
oreeches long ago and are going on to
further cOuquests. The spike tail coat
begins to see the handwriting on the wall
sud the dscoHetts dress and the too utterly
tight pants of the dude will at last sue
cumb to the inevitable process Of evolution.
There isn't much left Of them nov ard
they are fast going.

soMEwHAr CONFLICTING.

1.-THE great railroad strike were not 80
serious q subject, the many conflicting
opiuions and statements concerning what
the railway officials and the officers OF
the Knights of Labor have agreed to DO
and what they are doing, would be indeed
amusing. In one dispatch JAY GOULD
has agreed to srbitrste; in another ne
has not The news comes one minute
that all the Knights are rejoicing and are
at once TO return to work and that every
thing is peace and quiet; the next min
ute the report is that not man will 60
to work and that great disorder prevails.
The whole matter seems to be conglomer-
alton of contradictions and misunderstand-
ings.
But from what can be gained, from dis
patches up to yesterday evening. it seems
pretty evident that the matter stands
where it did in the beginning. The
Knights demand that not only the dismiE-
ssd employe but every man out on q
strike shall be restored to his place.
JAY GOULD says that no man who has
injured the company during the strike
shall be taken back. This looks as II
settlement were as far of as ever.
The question then comes down again to
this: one side or the other must yield Oh
they must submit to arbitration, If they
would settle their differences. But the
trains must run whatever is done BY these
parties. The rights OF the people must b
maintained st all hazards.
It's gratifying to see the interest tha
our Houses of Congress are nov
beginning to take in the Label
question. The bill Of Congressman
LAWYER introduced yesterday author
izing the investigation. Of causes leading
to our labor troubles is very opportun'
one and is striking right at the fountain
head of the evils. 1t is also very encour
aging TO see that some Of our Senators sn'
Representatives have espoused the caus'
Of arbitration and have prepared bills Il
u.oyide fer boards Of arbitration to settl
diff .ulIiss between employers and eur

Il is BY no means certain chat his oppo-
nents are majority, or even 9 strong mi,
nority, in his party, and before the lapse OF
two years nearly ell the men holding Gov
eminent positions throughout the country
will be enthusiastic champions of the Ad-
ministration, for in Offices now held BY Re.
pubEcans many vacancies will occur, ana
while the President may seem careless as to
whether he appoints Democrat to posi-
ton or not, be certainly takes pains TO sp
point somebody whose loyalty to the Ad'
ministrstion can not be questioned. II, there
fore, it be said that the President will not
be strong at the North in 1888, we ask
who is there that will be stronger Al
the South, and there the effective strength
of the Democracy lies, the case is palmer
There are no Independent Republicans
from Delaware to Texas to share the pat
rouaee of the Administration or to con
test with the Democratic leaders the righ
to influence Its counsels. At the Soutt
there are no rival candidates for the Presi
dency, and there can be none. 1t may D.
taken for granted, therefore, that thu
Southern Democracy, which east the gres
mass of the electoral vote for President
Cleveland, will remain loyal to him unles
