The Minister to England.

At the present time the mission
to England is by far the most i'm
portant Of all foreign appointments
In truth, il is even more important
than that of cabinet member, for
grave results may follow the minis
ter's actions wien he arrives in
England.
The Presideutof the United States
has just issued a proclamation clos
ing Behrlng Sea to foreign salmon
fishers and seal.hunters, because our
government insists that the sea is
entirely within the jurisdiction of
the United States, even rs in Chesa-
peake Bay. British and Canadian
statesmen stoutly deny this claim,
but our country supports its position
by the cession which Russia made
iu 1866 Of Alaska. Behrlng Sea
was then "a Russian sea, it is now an
American sea, and by our treaty with
Russia we inherit all her rights in
that sea.
The sea is between Kamtchatka
and Alaska, and our ablest statesmen
insist that when we paid S 100000
for Alaska, We acquired every claim
which Russia had "A right to cede.
But the proclamation will make =
deep sensation in England, and "a
still deeper one in Canada, the Do
minion government being especially
inclined to resent it,
In this emergency it is manifest
that the country needs at London
the very best man that can be ob
tanned, and it will be regarded with
satisfaction throughout our land
that the President has rendered to
Chauucey NJ Depew, of New York,
the British mission, and, fortunately
for the country, he has accepted it.
Mr. Depew possesses a comb
nation of qualities for the place
which no other man could offer
First, he is a thorough American in
all his instincts aud associations.
Second, he is cultured to an extra
ordinary degree; his manners are
affabe and wlnsome; and his per-
soual presence is so agreeable that
he has always produced a most
favorable impression upon the lead
ers Of public opinion in England,
whom he has frequently met in his
visits to the old World. Further,
Mr.. Depew is a man Of peace,
and appreciates the inestl-
mablc advantages of maintaining
concord between the two branches
of the Anglo Saxon race. Difficult
ties may grow out of the Behrlug sea
proclamation, but there is no man
better calculated to smooth over
Irritatious aud adjust the difficulties
than Chaupcey NJ. Depew.
The President has really performed
"a great service to the whole country

What May BE Eaten with Fingers.

There are number of things that
the most fashionable AMI well-bred
people now eat at the dinner table
with their fingers. They are:
Olives, to which n fork should never
be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when
served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in
tho dressing or q little salt.
Celery, which may properly be
placed on the table cloth beside the
plate.
Strawberries, when served with the
stem on, as they usually arc i'll tho most
elegant houses.
dread. toast, and all tarts and small
cakes.
Fruits of all kinds, except melons
and preserves, which arc eaten with n
spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably v
eaten with the fingers by the most par
ticular people.
Either the leg or other small piece
of bird is taken in the fingers at
fashionable dinners, and Mt most of the
luncheous ladies pick small pieces of
chicken without using fork. Chtrd.

A Holy City.

Pagan, one of the ancient capitals of
Burmah, is in many respects the most
remarkable religious city in the world.
Jerusalem, Benarcs, Rome, Kicff-none
of them can boast the multitude of
temples and the lavishncss of design
and ornament that make marvellous this
deserted capital on the Irrawaddy. De-
serted it practically is, for the few
fimsy huts that stand by the river are
inhabited only by pagoda slaves and
men condemned to perpetual beggary.
For eight miles along the river bank,
and extending to n depth of two miles
inland, the whole space is thickly stud
ded with pagodas of all sizes and
shapes, and the very ground is no
thickly covered with crnmbling rem
nants of vanished shrines that, accord
ing to popular saying, you cannot move
foot or hand without touching a
sacred thing.
