BAYARD's BOOMERANG.

When the fisheries treaty was laid
before the Senate comparatively few
persons outside OF New England felt
sufficiently interested In the docunen.
TO give 1t even a cursory examination.
The dispute which gave rise to the
commission was purely local, and
nobody, not even his bitterest enemies,
imagined that Mr.. Bayard could be SO
cajoled bya callow British diplomatist
as TO surrender TO the Canadians al
most boundless privileges which the
latter had never sought, and for which
they offered no corresponding advan-
tage. II WAS taken for granted that
one, considered capable by his rarty
of managing the most delicate inter.
national negotiations, was at least
familiar with the salient features of
controversy which had extended over
century and had engaged the states
manship of some OF the brightest
minds in the country. The people of
Maryland and the neighboring States
had no reason TO supp >se that they
were personally involved in the squab-
Bile, and took only languid interest in

A curious blunder came to light in
the Cumberland (Me.) Superior Court
last week. The Lewistown Journal
tells of 1t as follows: In an indict
ment against Brighton man for keep.
ing liquor nuisance 1t was alleged,
through a mistake in copying, that he
had been guilty OF the oifense on the
18th day Of May, 1906. and on divers
days since then up to the time of find.
ing the indictment. The counsel Tor
the respondent was elated at the dis
coyery of this error, and confidently
moved to quash the indictment on the
ground that his client was not alive in
1906. But the County Attorney rose
and said that he would enter nolle
prosequi as to the first eighty years of
the indictment and would try his case
on the remaining time. The Judge
ruled that the indictment would then
hold good. Upon this the respondent
pleaded guilty and paid his fine.

There Is rather an interesting bit Of
history connected with the famous
pond at Fontainebleau, which has just
been cleared of all Its carp, perch and
gudgeon. The pond abounded chiefly
in fine carp, and when Prince Fred
erick Charles of Prussia had his head
quarters in the historic chateau during
the occupation of France by the Ger
mans, In 1870, he gave orders that a
Wholesale fishing expedition should
take place. Nets and tackle were &C.
cordingly requlsitioned by the troops,
but none could be found. The local
anglers had either hidden or destroyed
their piscatorial paraphernalia, and the
"Red Prince could consequently
taste but very few of the carp for
which he longed. Now, however, the
pond has to be cleared, as mud has
been accommodating In it for the space
of 20 years, state of affairs which
caused sort Of epidemic among the
fish in 1887, when the surface Of the
water was covered with hundreds OF
dead carp. The fishes drawn out of
the ponds In nets have been placed
temporarily in the smaller ponds
around the chateau,

An interesting analysis has been
made of 500 consecutive cases of acute
rheumatism admitted to a London hos
pital OF these patients 235 were males
and 265 females; and 9 males and G
females died. Only 2 were over sixty
years of age; 10 were between fifty and
sixty; % between forty and fifty; 80 be
tween thirty and forty; 154 between
twenty and thirty; 189 between ten
and twenty; % between five and ten,
and only l under five. The number of

cases acute rheumatism had occurred
in near relatives; in As cases, in one or

DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS.
Annual Statements from Var
iOus Government Officers.
The Communication from the Su-
perintendent Of Foreign Mails.

The annual report of the United States
Superintendent of Foreign Mails Bell shows
that the total cost of the service for the last
fiscal year was $40, O67, of which amount
S26, 649 was the transportation of mails of
foreign origin. The transatlantic steamship
companies received $:i13, 2G2, or an increase of
SIS, oG2 over last year; the Pacific steamship
companies, ,3O2, or 81, 1C3 less than last
wear; and the Central and South American
service cost $5S, 5j3. or %7l37 more than last
year. The estimated cost of the service for
the fiscal year ending June 80 1889, aggre-
gates $3.50 900.
The report shows that the first parcel post
convention ever concluded between the
United States and any foreign country was
that of October |, 1887, with jamaica Since
that date conventions have been CONCLUDED
with Barbados, the Bahamas, British
Honduras and Mexico. The conclusion
Of the convention with Mexico,
the report says, ''is of special Importance. as
that country, with its large population and
with rapidly developing industr es, naturally
looks to the United States for every possible
aid in strengthening the bonds of commercial
relations tetween the two great sister repub-
hes. whose Interests are the same, and it will
be found that new and hitherto almost mac
ceSSIble markets have been opened to Ameri-
can merchants. Parcel post conventions are
now pending with all the Central and South
American States, and it is hoped that the time
is not far distant " hen the three Americas will
be embraced in one grand parcel post union
which will, in its way, aid this country in full
filing its eventual mission, viz. to control
the markets Of this hemisphere and become
the leader in its Industrial and commercial
progress"
The report says the system of paying for
the mails as cargo, at 50 much pound, has
proved so advantageous that it is hoped
there will be no return to the old
method, involving the payment of sub
sides for the mail service If it
should be the pleasure of Congress to make
an ioT to aid a Sfa
plying in TRADE with foreign ports it would
be detrimcnt to the efficiency of the foreign
mail service to charge it with the admins
