American TribuIatiOns Abroad.

The American colony in Paris is
again in tribulation. The blackmail-
ers will not let them alone, but take
every occasion to extort tribute. The
Duchess Decomps Selice, formerly one
of the sewing machine Singer widows,
is the latest victim. She is in receipt
of numerous threatening letters ask
ing for money, and publication is made
of the fact, that she, grand mother,
has had recent offer of marriage
from an impecunious but youthful
lieutenant, and her children and
grand children threaten to shut her
up, on the ground of mental incapac-
ity and the lady plaintively complains
that paying does not stop them, but
that the more she pays the greater be-
come the demands.
And the villain still pursues Prince
Hatzfeldt, in the shape of the young
woman, who has camped on his trail
and means to haye his scalp, and bets
are freely offered in sporting circles
that she will get it.

The Irish Scandal.

That the London Times is at the
bottom of the Parnell-O'Shea scandal
has been evident to all unprecedented
minds from the first This theory finds
new and additional evidence to sup
port it by very recent disclosure
made by Patrick J. Sheridan, of Col
orado, in which he states that an
agent of the Times offered him, in
May, 1889, 100000 to furnish such
evidence as would connect Parnell
with the Phoenix park murders. Mr..
Sheridan's statement is corroborated
by documentary evidence, and his
reputation is without blemish The
history of the effort of the Times to
blight the fame and personal character
of the great Irish leader is without a
parallel, and no part of 1t is more in
famous than the present scandal which
involves the character of a lady of
high caste, whose first misfortune was
her marriage to man whose public
and private life has damned him in
the sight of God and man.

A Discount ON Royalty.

Royalty is at discount in Europe
at this time. The infant king of Spain
is sick and likely to die, and monarch
lists fear that his death would be the
signal for a revolutionary uprising in
favor of free institutions, aided and
assisted by malcontenrs from Portugal
where republicanism is rampant, and
only awaits an opportunity TO over
thrown. Every effort is made, in gov
eminent circles, to suppress the truth
in regard to the real condition of the
dying little monarch, and even the
bulletins of the physicians are sub
jected to police supervision before be-
ing given to the public. The provin
cial authorities throughout the king
dom have been instructed to watch
closely all popular gatherings, and
promptly to suppress any republican
demonstrations.
And in Belgium there is great IN
easiness owing to the recent appear.
ance of revolutionary placards de
claring war upon moarchs, money
dealers and usurers; and the great
distress prevailing among the work
ing classes who are described as fight
ing against terrible odds for the right
to live, gives rise to the apprehension
that they may seek TO redress Their
wrongs by violence.
And in Russia, all is not so serene
as the authorities would like to make
it appear, for though Geographic in
formation has been rigidly withheld
private letters received IN London

BIRDS LEANING TO SING. Most poop

BIRDS LEANING TO SING. Most people
probably imagine that birds sing by
instinct; that the song of the robin
is as natural to HIM as his red breast;
that the blue-bird is not more liable
to change its note than its color; and
that. untaught, the nightingale will
always sing the same beautiful song.
This common impression, however, is
erroneous. Young birds will never
sing the song peculiar to their tribe
if they have never heard it, but if
associated with some other bird will
learn its song instead. A redstart
once built its nest under the caves of
house where Gagged chaffinch hung
in window underneath. The red
start learned the chaffinch's song.
Another redstart was noticed to re
peat the notes of a blackcap which
had its nest close by. The winchat
and wheatear have naturally but little
variety of notes, but will become much
better songsters if confined with other
birds; and the bullfnch can be taught
to whistle complete tunes, although
its own natural notes are harsh and
insignificant. On the other hand, the
nightingale in confinement will some
times exchange its own beautiful song
for that of some other bird that it
may hear Hon. DANES harrington
says that he saw a linnet which had
been taken from the nest when only
two or three days old, and which, not
having any other sounds to initiate,
almost learned to articulate, and could
repeat the words "pretty boy" and
some other short sentences. He edu-
Gated nesting linnets under the three
best singing larks-the skylark, wood
lark, and titlark-every one Of which
instead of the linnet's song, adhered
entirely to that of their respective in.
structors. When the note of the tit
lark was thoroughly fixed, he hung
the linnet which had learned it in a
room for three months with two com.
mon linnets which were in full song
The educated linnet, however, never
borrowed any passage from the Other
! linnets, but adhered steadfastly tt
that of the titlark which it had learn
ed. At Knighton, in Radnorshire, ht
saw a goldfinch which sung exacteC
like a wren, and uttered no proper
note Of its species. This bird hat
been taken from the nest when it wal
two days old, and was hung in a win
dow opposite small garden, wher'
it had, no doubt, heard and learned
the wren's song, having never hac
the opportunity to learn that of the
goldfinch. Birds taken from the mes
two or three weeks old have alread,
learned the call notes of their species
These and many similar facts go tt
prove that birds do not sing by in
stinct They learn their songs from
their parents. If they have no OPP
portunity of hearing the song peculia
to their species, they never sing it
but will learn any other instead; jus

THE Hon. Iohn Grass. maxi 10 th

THE Hon. John Grass, next to the
aged but magnificent Gall, is the most
conspicuous and influential chief in
the Sioux tribe. MIR. Grass is in Wash
ington asking the Great Father to
add bonus to the millions already
promised the Indians as compensa-
ton for their coded lands. Grass is
a true Indian, and, of course, an in
veterate beggar. The Government
has arranged to pay the Sioux hand
somely for their lands, and not the
slightest reason exists why one cent
more should be granted than the con-
tract price. Grass should go home,
and instead of seeking, as he has al
ways sought to perpetuate in his tribe
all that is bad and hostile to civiliza-
ton, he should use his office as chief
to get his people as quickly as may
be upon their own farms and to rem
der them selfsustaining and useful.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat-S
Ingalls, should be more careful hereafter
to do up his OratiOnS in ''Original pack
ages"
Boston Herald-Out in Iowa original
package saloons are in full blast. They
thank the supreme court for teaching
them that phrase.
Boston Traveler-'Will you take an
original with me?" is the Iowa form
ula. Come in and sit with me-" is
what they say in Massachusetts.
Denver News-A good many Kansas
and Iowa men are rejoicing that under
the original package system there is no
limit as to size OF number.
Oil City Blizzard: The recent ''origin-
al package" decision of the United
States supreme court is likely to have a
wider and farther reaching influence
than has been anticipated. 1t may pre-
cipitate the entire question of prohibi-
ton into national politics. 1t is already
apparent that, under this decision, the
prohibitory or license law of state is
powerless to enforce its own provisions.
Kansas, Iowa and South Dakota are
already flooded with intoxicants put up
in Original packages" in adjoining
states expressly for this traffic.
Chicago Times: The plain lmplica-
ton is that the importer may break any
original package, bottle as we'll as a
barrel or case, before selling. Itfollows,
therefore, that under the decision Of
the supreme court of the United States
and of the state of Iowa, the Iowa
liquor dealer has right to retail liquors
brought from outside the state by the
glass OF in any other quantities. 1t
woeld seem, therefore, that nothing re-
mains for Iowa but to regulate sales by

ture for the purpose Of enacting a

CORN OVER THE WATER.

Mention has more than once been
made of the attempt to be had at the
Scotch exposition, inaugurated at Edin-
burg this month, to give that intelli-
gent people to understand that Ameri-
can corn is one of the superior articles
of food, vastly better than their favorite
oatmeal. The corn men from this coun-
try are there, and the local journals re-
port that they are enlisting attention
and meeting very encouraging success.
One paper says: This is the first time
that the people of Scotland have been
taught how to cook maize; and, no
doubt, many, after seeing and tasting
the numerous excellent qualities of that
form of food, will wonder why they
have so long been kept In ignorance of
them" 1t goes on further to commend
the extremely palatabIe, nutritious and
wholesome food made from it. Over
fifty methods of cooking it are shown,
besides the starch, glucose, whisky and
other things derived from it. The
Scotch always have had a liking for
whisky. Corn only needs to be fully
known to be widely used over the wa

ARsuRD QUESTIONS.

It is somewhat assuring to have the
opinion of Gen. FRANCIS A. WALKER,
who is an old expert at the business,
and familiar with Supt. PORTER and
his chief assistant, that the coming
census will be one of the most reliable
and honest ever had. There is no salts
faction in discrediting the integrity of
an official, and it is sincerely hoped that
the work will fully vIndicate the esti-
mate of Gen. WALKER. Ii the figures
are straight, Mr.. PORTER may be al
lowed to use them for partisan ends.
The New York Medical Journal calls
attention to the questions about any
acute or chronic disease and personal
defects in mind and body as imperti-
nent, and utterly useless for statistical
purposes. Men and women often have
Affections that they will not truthfully
relate to officials or strangers. Many

barbarity to force them to disclose their
misfortunes under penalties. Evasion
and lying will be the rule.

THE HOUSE VOTE.

Republican papers may, as machine
enthusiasts, eXult in the evidence of
discipline shown III the final vote in the
house on the MCKINLEY bill. In aregi-
ment of veterans less of two in the
alignment before the enemy would be
but trivial. There was probably more
suggestion of recruits than veterans in
the response as MCKINLEY sounded the
charge. There was little among the
Western element to Indicate the bound
ing enthusiasm of march to assured
of heart, wistful longings to turn back
and anxious thoughts of home. The
preliminary voting showed that hearts
were quaking. and only party fealty
could bring all up to the rack. Many
no doubt realized that they were Civ
ing the vote that will end
their political career. The expecta-
ton that the senate will eviscerate
the odious thing and remodel it
so that the tide of popular Indignation
and party revolt can be stayed, is an in
suficientreliance. If the senate should
shape less Objectionable measure, or
between the two houses no bill should
become law, it would not blot out the
record the majority in the house has
made. The position cannot be gotten
away from that the MCKINLEY bill is
the embodiment of Republicanism. 1t
what the Chicago platform meant by
tariff reform. The tariff plank in the
platform and the bill prepared in the
house are the work of the same man.
There can be no more infallible inter
prefer of the Chicago enunciation than
MCKINLEY. He pronounced the tariff
bill straight Republican goods-an all
shape it may be made to take in the
other branch, 1t will be moving away
from the principles of the party
as it leaves the MCKINLEY fabric.
The party must stand by that
i'll the popular ordeal, rather than any
structure made in the senate. Even if
a member voted against some of its
most offensive provisions his standing
will not be helped. He voted for the
bill as whole. He voted for the Or
ganization that made it possible for the
committee to fashion and report the
bill. Individual protests are idle when
the machinery has been fitted for the
work. Members asking reelection this
year have to stand OF fall by their vote
on the MCKINLEY bill. All the men,
bers from this state voted for it, some
of them with compunctions, but the
members from the Dakotas took the
medicine as if they liked it. If they
have in this represented majority of
the people in either state, the educa-
tional work has been far less effective
than is supposed.
