Diamonds in the Teeth.

'If the fool-killer is in town con direct him to a certain number on one of our fashionable boule- wards where he will find q ripe sub ject."
 This remark came from a young man in my presence, and asked him what he meant.
 II was sitting in q dentists of flee to-day" he said, "when fash ionably-dressed woman came in and wanted her teeth examined. The dentist made an examination and told her that her teeth were in good condition and that they need ed no repairing. One of her front teeth, the dentist told me afterward, had a gold filling which was artifi- cial and had been inserted not from necessity but for effect. This fill ing she wanted removed and q dia- mond set in it's place. She said she was tired of the plain, every day gold and wanted real solitaire diamond set i'll the center of a nice white tooth. The woman lived on one of the most ari8tocratic boule- wards in Chicago, and the dentist gave me her name sub-rosa."
 The fad of having diamonds set in the teeth, while not much in- dulged, is not new, as 1t was start ed in New York about 8 year ago. l asked Dr. \. B. Clark what his experience had been with diamond filling, and he told me he had never been applied to for so aristocratic 8 filling, and did not believe he had customer who would be so foolish as to want it. The cost, he thought, aside from the cost of the diamond, would be about $40, may be more.
 'I have known cases," he said, "where women have had cavities bored into good, sound teeth and gold set in purely for show, and it is very common, when am prepar ing front teeth for gold filling, to be asked by both male and female

The Vest Virginia lIuddlc.

A telegram to the San Francisco Examiner, from Charleston, West Virginia, says the politicians here are in Q high state of excitement There are three rival candidates for inauguration, and each are now busily endeavoring to establish his claim over the others. Gen. Golf, the republican candidate is here, and has been busy with his advisers ever since he got off the cars. He announced his firm determination to take the oath of office come what may. He asserts that he was elect ed to the Governorship. and that Judge Fleming, the Democratic can didate, admits in his notice of con test that Golf had no majority.
 It WAS the duty of the Speaker of the House, during the session of the Legislature to announce the vote, but his failure to do so does not invalidate his claim.
 Governor Wilson bases his claim to hold over on Section 91 of Arti- cle 24 of the Constitution, and says he will hold the office against all corners, as lie conceiyeS 1t to be his duty to do so,
 President Carr of the Senate bases his claim likewise upon the Consti- tuition, and will qualify.
 Judge Fleming, whois contesting Gof's right, is looking on with deep interest.

\ Protest Prem Mexico.

A report to the Mexican Secre, tary of Foreign Relations made by Mexican Consul Escobar of Fl Paso on the effect of certain irrigation measures now pending at Washing ton, has just been made public.
 The Consul says that the taking of water from the Rio Grande in New Mexico for the Jornade Del Muerto and Fl Paso Canal Com pany will result in the decadence and ruin of Mexican towns along the river, whose only industry is farming by irrigation with water from the Rio Grande. He says if such measures are put in operation by the United States the water of the river will be entirely consumed in New Mexico and his people will be deprived of water for their use
 The Consul claims for Mexico the first right to that water and asks for strong measures by his country to prevent such an injury to its frontier towns.-S. F. Examiner.

The Kew Administration.

While MT. Cleveland retires from
 the Presidency, leaving pleasant re- collections of his official and social career, his successor will be greeted
 to-day by all classes with the same
 courteous consideration. It is Q
 happy condition Americans enjoy,
 that they can rise above party feel
 ing, lay aside the rancors and pre- judices of a turbulent election cam paign and greet the successful man
 with honest respect and all the courtesy due his exalted place And
 they do all this cordially and from the heart. Among the participants in to-day's pageantry and to-night's
 festivities, there will be multitudes of Democrats.
 This courtesy to General Harri- son will be the more cheerfully shown because 1t is deserved. Since his nomination and election the new President has grown in public confidence and esteem. His whole bearing in the campaign was man. ly dignifed and discreet. When his election became a certainty and and his home began to be besieged by party advisers and place hun ters, he bore himself with the same quiet and dignifed demeanor that has always characterized him. He uttered no word that betrayed per sonal exultation or undue gratifca- ton at his party's success. He had only words of respect for the candi- date and the party of the other side.
 In arranging to assume the duties of his great office he has shown that he means 10 conduct his own Administration, and to do so fairly | and impartially towards all sections of the country. Those who may hope for and strive to effect q re- opening of the wounds of the past are not likely to find much favor with the new President. Many of | the questions now pending and un- determined will no doubt be wrought out on the lines of his predecessor, and if anybody expects such pol icy on some of them as to excite the country and disturb the even progress of events, be is lsable to bo disappointed. .-Examiner.

Impossible Presidents.

It IS apparent-to any one accus toned to inductive reasoning and capable of gencralization-that no one will hereafter be elected Presi, dent who has not been elected by the time he is sixty.
 It is a now a hundred years since Washington, at the age of fifty seven, was chosen.
 Of the twenty-three Presidents, only three were elected after the age of sixty-one. Of these three, two were military men, who died soon after inauguration, and the other was James Buchanan.
 Eighteen of the twenty-three were elected before the age of 60, one at 50, and seven while in the forties. General Grant was 46; MT. Cleve- land, 47 and General Harrison, 55.
 Unwritten law which has been by time and approved by is most difficult of re- peal ! it is founded on reason. Many an aspiring statesman will beat, with bruised hands, against this law, but twill stand and it will be as difficult for one who has passed sixty to reach the Presidency "as for a rich man to enter into the of Heaven. "--North Amer ican Review.

California not Alone.

Ph@nix IA. T.), March 6.-Gov- ernor Zulick to-day vetoed a con- current resolution of the Legisla- ture providing for the investigation of the affairs of the Territorial Pri- son and the Territorial University by special committees to be chosen for that purpose. The Council inn mediately passed the resolution over his veto, and the House, which is Democratic, failed to pass it by one vote.
 The Governor held this resolution for nine days, and now gives as his reasons for the veto the approach of the close of the Legislature and the cost of such special committees to the Territory.
 The suspicion is more than con- frmed that those institutions need

What Cur Weather Costs US.

The United States pays $900,000 a year for its weather service, Great Britain $S0,0O0, Germany $56,OOO, Russia $65,O00, Austria $1O,00O, Switzerland $6,O00 France $30,00O. And, though no European nation attempts to do as much as We do, or takes general observations more than once Q day, the percentage of veriication of predictions is rising there, which is hardly the case in this country. Our weather service with its great cost and thorough or ganization, ought to be the best in the world.

On March 1st Secretary Villas sent to the Senate a report from Governor Swinetord of Alaska up- on the reported outrages upon women in Alaska. His views up- on the subject have been publish ed. Concerning missionary work in Alaska the Governor says:
 T can but express the earnest hope that either the Government or the Board of Home Missions may be able very soon to find a field far remote from Alaska in which the peculiar talent and altogether questionable methods Of Rev. pr. Sheldon Jackson can be more pro- fitably employed"
 Governor Swineford says that two three of the missionaries are responsible for the vile islanders up- on the white people of Alaska which have been sent boardcast through the country, and recommends that the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions make 2 thorough investi- gation of the management of its Alaska stations.-S.

Nearly five years ago the steam
 ship Germania ofthe Lloyd line de-
 parted from The Hague, bound for
 New York. On board were over 1 ; GOO passengers and a highly valu- able cargo. The steamship never reached port. No tidings of her
 were ever heard, ard, although given up for lost several years ago,
 the particulars of her fate were never known. The other afternoon. while walking along the beach of Hassler's Haven, southeast of Mel bourne, Fla, Frank P. Hassler fopnd a wine bottle lying on the sands. It was almost covered with barnacles and moss. On picking 1t up he found 1t had been securely corked. Scraping the slimy moss off the the bottle, two pieces of pa per were seen inside. The neck of the bottle was broken off and the papers withdrawn. One was g blank bill of lading of the steamer Germania. Lloyd line, printed in German. The other paper was sim ply brown wrapping paper, one side of which was covered with writing in German, the characters being almost iIlegible. After much trouble the following translation was made: "The steamship Ger mania is on fire and sinking. Gale blowing and all boats swamped. All hope is gone.
