al eastern port. The schooner was last
seen off Chincoteague bay just before the
gale of April G. and nc doubt foundered with
all on board. Capt Smith was 80 years old

his possession. The names on the photo

scono of lively combat between two mid
die aged end veil known cit;zans. Poit-
cal George, republican, undertook foy some
cause to villify the Lieutenant of Police,

formed ring. Five rounds were fought,
and although both parties have been raised
to the skllful use of tho mallet and edge
tools, strange to say, there was no blood
spilled nor black eye given. Altogether it
was most Imaginable and farcicsl, and will
long be remembered by those who saw it as
an amusing episode in the traditions OF the

a FLOATING IsLAND.-Onc of the most pictur-
e:quc and remarkable bodies of water in the world
is uenry's Lake, in Idaho. 1t is situated on the
dome of the continent in depression in tho
Rocky Mountains called Targeo's Pass. 1t has an
area of forty square miles, and all around it rise
snow capped ptaka, some of them being the high
est of the continents backbone. In the lake is a
iloatirg island about three hundred feet in diam
otcr 1t has for its basis mat of roots so dense
that it supports largo trees sud heavy growth of
underbrush. These roots are covered with several
feet Of rich soil. The surface is solid enough TO
support tho weight of horse anywhere aud
there arc places where a house coud no built. The
wind blows tho island about the lake, and IL sel
dom remains twenty four hours in the same place.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY %.

TIE REGULAR biennial municipal election
in this city will be held tomorrow. Ihefe
are two tickets in the field, one, the demo.
cratic the other, so.called independent
ticket which has been endorsed by the re-
nublcaus While the former may not De
as GOOD in some respects as it could nave
been. in every respect it is better than toe
latter. The government Of city, ike thaI
If any other corporation, should be ID the
honas of men whose own business interests
are directly involved in the success OF Tue
c;tv anG who are stimulated TO pro
mote the latter By natural incentive TO
increase their own prosperity, which is de-
nepdent upon it. A glance at the two LICK
els is sufficient to tell which is the more
interested in the city IS welfare. The inter-
ests of every man living here are more or
or less involved with those of the city, SO
that n voting for the oity's officers, he Is
really dischargiug private as well as a pup
lie duty. If the names on the two tickets
were those of candidates for board OF oi'
rectors of a company in which any lnseiii-
GENT man in Alexandria was stakeholder,
there is no doubt that that man would vote
for those on the democratic ticket for the rea'
son that he would know that 10 looking
after their own interests they would neces-
sariy he promoting his own. What Is true
of q stock company in this respect is also
true of municipal corporation. Let every
man, therefore, really interested in Alexar
dria's progress and improvement go to the
polls to morrow and vote the democratic
ticket.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES.
From China and Japan.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-The Occiden-
tai and Oriental Company's steamship Bel
gic arrived yesterday bringing Chinese and
Japanese advices to May 2 The Japan
Mail newspaper states that an earthquake
of the most unusual character was recorded
at 207 p. N. April is, in tho chronological
Observatory of the Imperial University at
Toxic. The popularity Of the phenomenon
lay not in its violence, but in the extreme
slowness of its oscillation, it taking from 4
to seconds to complete one forth and back
molten, chiefly in horizontal plane lying
south and north. There were few verti-
cal motions, however, of equally slow pc
ricds. The phenomenon lasted 10 minutes
and Sc seconds, no dsmsge being done as yet
reported.
Yokohoma papers give an account of the
severe punishment of two Japanese journal
lists who published with sketch q new lib
ersl constitution picture of g skeleton of the
Emperor's throne. One was sentenced to 3
years imprisonment and fined, while the
other received one year in prison and was
feed.
Count Herbert Bismarck is to receive the

The Southern Presbyterian Assembly, in
session in Chattanooga, Tenn, occupied
most of yesterdays session discussing the
DR.. Woodrow controversy. The Charleston
Presbytery, after the meeting of the Balti-
more Assembly, passed 3 resolution declar-
ing that the assembly had judicially decided
that the doctrine OF evolution as taught by
DR.. James Woodrow was contrary to the
standards of the church, and forbidding all
public contendiug against the decision OF the
assembly. The Synod of South Carolina de-
clared this action unWise, irregular and un-
constitutional. The committee Of the pres
ent General Assembly recommended that
the action OF the synod DE approved so lar
as it declared the action of the Charleston
Presbytery unwise, but disapproved it in so
far as it declared that action irregular and
unconstitutional. This report Yves called st
2 p. m. for discussion. A discussion follow
ed but was not concluded. Tho special
committee to which was referred the report
of the committee appointed by the last Gem
eral Assembly to confer with similar COM
mittee Of the Northern Assembly as TO fra

AS THE immense surplus in the Treasury,
accumulated by the cnerous tax on the ne
cessaries of life can not be exhausted soon
enough by the large increase in the pension
list made by the rulings of assistant Secre-
tary Bussey and Corporal Tanner, another
scheme to effect that object, aud thereby at
ford plausible excuse for the continuance
of the protective tariff, has been proposed
1t is to cxpeud all the surplus at once by
giving the negroes, 10 one lump, thirty'fiv
million dollars as compensation for two cen
turtles of slavery. If the tax on what
the poor have to consume in order to live he
continued, many southern people will not
obi set to the expenditure of the money ex-
acted by that tax 10 the manner proposed,fo
as nearly all the negroes live in the South,
most of it would be spent in this section.
As al! the money for pensions goes North,
southern people will not object to some OF
that for other purposes coming South.

THE NEW YORK Herald says "it aims to
coruteuauce whatever tends to greater hon-
esty and liberty in our politics, and for that
reason, some years ago, defended the Ma
hone movement in Virginia, which was OPP
posed to and denounced by the organs OF
both parties in the North, but which has
been of great benefit to Virginia" So the
Herald defended Gen. Malone, who tried to
repudiate the Virginia debt, and whose lilo
crafty is so great that his own party has re-
VOTED, and who has injured Virginia more
than any other man ever did, in order to
''counlenance honesty and liberality." Well,
the people of Virgins have long been puz
led about the reasons that induced the Her
0ld to espouse the Malone cause, and now
they know.
