Sharks in SueZ Canal

Sharks are reported TO have become
uncommonly numerous on the shores
OF the Mediterranean to the great an
noyance of the dwellers by the sea. A
few years since the shark was compar-
atively unknown there, but they have
discovered that the Suez canal is an
easy route from their Indian ocean
home to the pleasant waters Of the
Mediterranean. They pass through
the canal in great numbers.

pages of pamphlets in eleven other
tongues arc also included. All the

The Water Route IN Siberia.

While Mr.. Sibirikiakoff, the wealthy Rus
sian merchant, was sinking thousands Of
dollars every year in the vain effort 10 prove
that steamers could make the passage from
western Europe through the Kara sea to the
Yenisei river, a rugged British sea captain
named Virgins kept asserting that the route
was perfectly feasible, and that the Russian
failed because his ships were inadequate to
the task and consequently got fast in the
ice On his own account Capt. Virgins has
made three successful voyages 70 the Yenisei,
and with capitalist named Sullivan he has
now embarked in the Siberian trade by the
sea route. They left England three weeks
ago in the well freighted steamer Labrador,
which they expect will be met at the mouth
of the Yenisei by their steamer Phoenix from
Yenisesk. goo miles up the river, with n
cargo FROM ye far interior OF Siberia. The
vessels win exchange cargoes, and the
voyagers will then push into the Kara sen
again. They hope 10 make the round trip IN

THE q. A. X.

No wonder the Democratic Union
brethren of the North have become dis
gusted with the Grand Army of the Re
public, and propose to withdraw from
that purely political and sectional organ
ization. The orler was formed for the
best of motives, namely-to look after
and provide for disabled Federal vet
Grams of the war, their widows and
orphans. But ever since the election OF
President Cleveland, they have, under
the leadership of Northern fire eaters
and malignant South haiers, such
as Foraker, formed themselves into a po
litical organization whose sole object has
been TO foster sectonalism and keeI
alive the embers Of discord. Acting on
the idea that only Republicans saved The
Union, they have insolently attempted tt
ostracize the Democratic members, wht
have always promptly paid their dues
but have also been in favor Of letting thu
dead past be forgotten, and, burying sec
tionalsm, working together with th'
purpose of advancing The general welfare
of common country.
1t is strange that the large Democratic
membership of this purely Republican
order could have stood its insolence ant
