President Earr isOn's Policy.

President Harrison beginning with next
seek will close the doors to all but senators
Ind representatives, in order that he may
oe uninterrupted in the consideration of ap-
olicatStus for the higher positions now va
ant or Slkely to become vacant. The first
lass appoint ments to be taken are the as
,istant secretaries of the executive depart
nents and tie heuds of bureau, after which
le will proceed to fill the vacancies that al
'eady exist. These are quite numerous and
include the controller of the currency, the
superintendent of Indian schools, civil SER
Eice commissioner and other Offices for
which Mr. Cleveland made nominations that
jhe senate refused to confirm. The next class
Of Offices to be taken up will be those of the
diplomatic corps, in order that the senate
nay act upon the nominees before they
cave the country. The president has passed
he word around that he will not act as ar
oitrat or in any factional quaTrels and that
le will not lend himself to either side in such
Juarrels. He tells all the senators and rep
:esentatives who eallupon him thatit will be
greatly to their advantage and facilitate
ais labors if they Will settle their dis
sensions among themselves and not
present more than one candidate from the
same state for any Office. If the various del
sgations will make up states for the Offices
| within their states and give them unanl-
nous endorsement, he will act promptly,
! but all appointments over which there is u
dispute will be deferred. Most of the state,
are doing this and are endeavoring to reliev .
the president as much as possible. The Pos
says: THE president has indicted in an un y
mistakabIe manner that it is his intention
| TO recognize the senators and Representatives
and accept their recommendations in the
! distribution of patronage regardless of per-
,onal friends. He looks upon the members
Of congress as the representatives of the
states chosen by the people, and considers
hat they should be familiar with the
qualifications of candidates and public pre-
/ erences in their districts than any unauthor-
zed persons may be, and that he win also
save himself from great deal of annoy
ince by receiving the views of the members
of congress through the heads of depart
ments in his cabinet whose recommendations
or appointments will be final. During the
asst administration President Cleveland
Tery often oyerruled the recommendations
of his cabinet officers. Gen. Harrison does
1ot propose to attempt to attend to the de-
tails of the government as President. Cleve-
and did, but will leave this to the heads OF
departments"

Frank McCoppin, United States commits
sioner to Melbourne exposition, writing
from Sydney, Australia under date of Feb
1, says public opinion has been aroused
there by the conduct OF Germany toward
Samoa, and federal council sitting in Hobart
Tasmania, have adopted an address to
Queen Victoria in which they say: I'VE view
with deep anxiety the course of events in
Samoa. and favor maintenance of existing
treaties and making of new ones, if neces-
sary guaranteeing the independence of
samoa They regard the dominion in the
Pacific of q foreign power as dangerous to
the SAFETY of Australia. The writer says if
England continues her douhle-dealing policy
in regard to those islands she will soon have
to face her angry colOnists. who are in full
; 'ccord with the United States in desiring to
pl vserve their independence.
A,5vices just received from Samoa show
that eESere was no basis for the sensational
rumor OF an engagement between the United
states man of war, Nipsic, and the German
Corvette, Olga. On the other hand. the
German o fficias in the island have entirely
givpn up tlNer aggressive policy. The proc
lamation OF martial law has been publically
withdrawn aud the germans have abandon
ed all claim to- the right of searching incom-
ing vessels foE contraband of wer Both
these steps have met with the hearty ap-
proval OF all foreign residents, at Apia and
have had q quieiing effect Unusual tran

mated to be 5000 strong. Tamasse' s

pleading guilty he will doubtless escape pun

WHAT STATE INSPECTION MEANS.
Well North Reading.

Farmers, listen. The passage Of the live
stock inspection law to be to represented by
the butchers OF the country, will cost you
decline of 20 per cent, in the value of every
beef animal you will have for sale. The
voice of the butcher is the voice of the siren
Turing you OIL to destruction. On the con-
trary LEFT Ms season together.
Today yoI are competing with Chicago

nv, where the consumption of meat is con-
s,tderable blat the small towns are lett to

oyster shells. Closer investie alton shows
il to be rubber boot which was lost
overheard and which was promptly seized
and utilized as a home by colony of
youthful oysters. The outside is mass of
shells so thickly strewn as to conceal the
underlying fabric; the inside, however,
must have been unpopular from an oysters
standpoint, as scarce a bakers dozen OF
bivalves have attached themselves to the
cloth. The singular boot gives a good idea
OF how the oyster grows Here at one
place are shells so small as to seem mere
points, drops of whitewash that have fallen
from the brush of some careless colored
kalsominer. At another are shells as large
as peas at third the size OF dimes; at
others layer and layer forms, until near tie
toe are found tolerable Blue Points and
Shrewsburys.
Near the boot is a water logged branch
from some tree on which another oyster
colony settled years ago. 1t is covered with
minute shells from tip to tip-even the little
projections were once leaves and flowers
bloomed IN the sunlight are represented by
prominences made up of dozen shells.
So pronounced is the gregarious tendency
of the Saddlerock that Commissioner
Blackboard once induced swarm of oyster
fry to settle on web of cotton threads and
convert it into a solid framework of line
aid life.
A quaint illustration of the oddities of
life beneath the water is afforded by a
number of hard CLANS on which are growing
oysters. Some show that the young oyster
attached himself to the young clam aud
that the two grew together. One specimen
shows that the oyster attached himself in
bady Wood to the edge of the CLAIMS shell,
and as the two grew up together the former
DEVELOPED in such way as to make a bolt
for the latter and to form a right angle
with its edge. The result was a benefit to
BOTH az it insured them immunity from
drum fish, star fish and sheepshead, the
three deadliest enemies to oyster and clam
both. 1t is worthy Of comment tC state
that when this singular partnerships mad },
each mollusk helps the olher. The ex-
quisitely curved lines of the clam she'll run
into the oyster and the rough outlines of
the oyster penetrate into the smooth sur
face of the former The advantage of the
partnership is easily seen when it is remem-
bered that the drum-flsh can kill a bivalve
only by getting directly upon it, and that
the star fish can do its deadly work by
enclosing its victim. The juxtaposition of
a healthy oyster at right angles TO the axis
of the clam prevents both from doing their
normal work aud so insures lie 20 both
parties.
