How Paradise Is Really Lost.

"Where was the Garden of Eden?"
was one of the interesting questions on
which Mr.. Hormuzd Rassam discoursed
before the Victoria Philosophical Insti-
tute, Sir G. G.. Stokes, NJ. P, in the
chair. Mr.. Rassam has been recently
excavating Babylonian and Assyrian
sites, but he has not found the Eden
site, and he showed how utterly impos-
sible it was to fix the locale in a land
where volcanic action and physical alter
ations had in many places changed the
courses rof the. rivers in.past ages. In
this sense 1t IS really Paradise Lost. =

a strange Potato Growth.

The West Chester, Pa, Local News
reports that Truman Forsythe, Of that
village, few days ago found in his Gel
lar a potato of last years crop that had
two small ones growing inside Of it.
There We're no sprouts whatever on the
outside, but the potato was burst open
at each end, and there projecting were
the ends Of two well formed and healthy
looking young tubers. The larger one was
about the size of walnut. Potatoes
often form on the outside of old ones in
cellars this time of the year, but that the
growth should take place inside is some
thing Of a novelty and only one or two
persons to whom the ''curio" was shown
could recall having seen the Ike before.
The use of the electromagnetic for indi-
eating the presence Of submerged tor

The metal will attract the magnet and

ter Dead--New POstmasters Appointed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The silver coin
age question and the Federal Elections
bill have become entangled in q very
peculiar manner within the last three
days, with the result that the Elections
bill may be sacrificed to free coinage.
1t has been whispered about on the
floor of the Senate for the last two days
that Senator Vest, acting on behalf Of
the Democrats in the Senate, intended to
offer free coinage bill as a substitute
for the Federal Elections bill when the
time should come for taking a final
vote. His idea is that the advocates Of
free silver on the Republican side of the
Chamber will vote for free coinage even
at the risk of sacrificing the Elections
bill If brought to the point of choosing
between the two measures.
Inquiries made among the free silver
men on the Republican side of the Senate
show that some, at least, of these men
will cast their vote for a free coinage
bill if it is offered as substitute for the
Election bill.
A proposition for compromise on the
silver question, which is represented as
emanating from the Executive Mansion,
has been laid before the silver men In
both Houses. This proposition is that
Congress pass a bill at this time in
structing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to purchase the thirteen or fifteen million
dollars worth of silver with which the
market is said to be stocked at present

Sioux Indiana Tell the ''Great Fathers

+ WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-The following
memorial, received by the President, has
been referred to the Acting Commissioners
Of Indian Affairs:
ROSEBUD AGENCY, Nov. 6, 1890.
"GREAT FATHER:-This day will write
you letter with good heart. When
we gave up the Black Hills, you told us
In that treaty that q man would get
three pounds of beef day; the meaning
was three pounds for one man. Besides,
you said we could get food just like the
soldiers. You did not, however, give it
to us at this rate.
beg you, therefore, to give to us just SO
(as you have promised(. Thirty men OF
us get for eighteen days (only) one COW
to eat; that is the reason I mention it.
And If you do not well understand 1t,
send me (Hollow Horn Bear) travelling
money and will come with five men.
"Great Father, if you do not want to-
do SO, then please let us have soldier
for out father (agent) when our present
fathers term is out. Great Father,
please do us this favor"
The above was signed by 102 Sioux
Indians.
In reply to this memorial, Acting Com
missioner Belt, in letter to Secretary
Noble, says that the law does not promise
the Indians "food just like soldiers" but
only ration Of beef, -four, bacon, coffee,
sugar and beans, or such other articles
in lieu thereof as the Commissioner of
Indian Affairs may decide. In reply to
the charges that the Indians signed an
agreement that rations would not be
reduced, and that the supply was reduced
1000, 600 pounds, and that those signing
the agreement felt imposed upon, Mr..
Belt says: "The Indians received rations
to the full amount warranted by the ap-
preparations made by Congress-"

LIVELY OXFORD STUDENTS.

They Celebrate Religious Ceremony
While Carrying Cups of Whisky.
OXFORD. Dec. 5.-Queen's College was
the scene of serious outbreak among
the undergraduates. A party of 10 or 10
young men set out in masquerading cos
tune. The leader was dressed as a
Bishop, with mitre and crozier. Among
the others, there was one nun, two
acolytes with censors and incense, and
the rest in surplices, and all bearing a
sanctimonious and highly mock decor
GUS look and semblance. They marched
In procession, and carried cups contain
ing large doses of whisky and others
filed with water, while number Of bis
cults completed the dietary portion of
the escapade, all of which was covered
with white cloth.
The masqueraders went the rounds Of
the college, battering open doors and
forcing their way into the bedrooms of
the freshmen. When they had dragged
out a sufficient number of victims and
gathered them together, shivering in
their scant nightdress, the masqueraders
proceeded to celebrate high mass, and
forced their victims to go through the
ceremony to its smallest detail, being
urged all the time with cutting blows
from switches in the hands of their

Parnell's Plan Adopted by the
Irish Nationalist.
TO CONFER WITH GLADSTONE.

Delay Which He Desires

He VIII Retire Until Recalled on Certain
5ConditIOns-He Must Have Assurances
from the Liberals that Their Home
Rule Plan win Leave the Land CUES
ton to an Irish Parliament.
LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Nationalists held
another excited meeting and all sorts Of
rumors were afoat in the corridors OF
the House of Commons as to what was
being done by the Irish members.
1t was confidently given out last
evening that the Clancy resolution had
been rejected, involving a defeat for Mr..
Parnell, and great was the rejoicing Of
the anti-Parnellites over the news This
jubilation was reflected in the editorials
Of the papers hostile to the Irish leader.
Upon the adjournment Of the meeting
last night, however, it was learned
that the proposal for q conference with
Mr.. Gladstone and the other Liberal
leaders had been carried and that mat
ters were taking on an aspect more IA
vorable to Mr.. Parnell.
The joy of Mr.. Parnell's enemies was
again turned to dismay, as it had been
more than once before in this bitter
contest, in which the mastery fighting
qualities of the descendant of Old Iron
sides have been so conspicuously devel-
oped. There is still much doubt, how
ever, that Mr.. Gladstone will give any
assurance whatever as to what the Lib
erals will do in the event of Mr.. Par
nell's retirement for more or less in
definite period.
Be the outcome of the conference
what it may, nevertheless, the appoint
ment of the committee is in itself a vic
tory for Mr.. Parnell, securing the delay
which he desires, if nothing more.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-The committee ap-
pointed to wait upon Mr.. Gladstone and
seek assurances that the Liberal home

the Irish constabulary, Judiciary and

tee Mr.. Parnell asked for an informal

ment. The show disclosed only Messrs.

Radical Legislation to Reduce the Fees of
Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Arrangements
are being made to have some legislation
which will bring about radical reforms
in the Pension Office. The proposed law
will be a serious blow to the pension
claim business, and will cut the fees of
attorneys down from $40 to 81 in each
case, and will limit the scope of attor-
neys and make it impossible for them to
take advantage Of the work Of the
special examiners who secure private
testimony.
Heretofore the attorneys have been
given the broadcast latitude in examining
all kinds of testimony taken by pension
officials. At the Pension Office it is
stated that the employment of attorneys
to secure pensions is no longer neces-
sary, and as they cannot help cases
under the new laws and system, it
seems that the days of the festive PEN
sion agent are about over.
