From the speech of Mr. Sumner. when
introducing the question of the purchase
of Alaska to congress it Is equally clear
that the United States goyernme mt did
not regard themselves as purchasing a
monopoly. Having dealt with fur bear
ing animals, he went on to treat of fisher
les, and, after abiding to the presence of
different species of whales in the vicinity
of the Aleutians said: No sea Is mare
clausum; all of these may be pursued by a
ship under any flag, except directly on the
coast or within its territorial limit. Re
plying to Secretary Blaine's statement
that from 1867 TO 1856 the possession of
sea: fisheries was enjoyed by the United
States, without intrusion or interruption
from any source. Salisbury cites instances
proving that Blaine is wrong, and that Brit
ish vessels were engaged at intervals dur
ing that time In sealing, without opposi-
ton from the United States
Salisbury Charged With shuffiing.
Blaine replies to this on May 20, 1890,
and after going over the entire contro-
! versy again, protests against the British
government protecting vessels in doing
violence to seal life. He is surprised that
Salisbury should do this. because it seems
inconsistent with his former declarations.
bldiuc tueL goes INTO "a recitdi OF IOruief
negotiations, wherein Salisbury had
agreed to regulations for seal fishing sug-
gested by the American government, de-
clared herself entirely satisfied, and
promised to introduce bill in parliament
| in accordance with said regulations, which
he had no doubt would promptly pass.
Blaine then complains that Salisbury at
the last moment announced that nothing
could be done without the consent of
Canada A fact that should have been
stated earlier in the interest of candor.
No Claim of Mare Ciausum."
The above took place while Phelps was
minister to England. The same proposals

For THE HERALD.
AN ODE TO A LADY ON HORSEBACK

The sight of her as fast she rode
Through this quiet town on Sunday eve
My very soul did sadly grieve,
For well could not help but believe
That her fair presence would meier
relieve
My burning love, and hence this ode.
Inspiring sight, in spirit rare
Fine her form as with stately pride
She through this town did nobly ride
Her hair hung down in straight de-
scent e;
And with eyes and heart on pleasure
bent,
This queen divine my soul did rent,
And nerved me on to youths intent
My love for her there to declare.
The vision fled, my heart it bled
Despair stole over my feelings torn,
Courage lacked my spirit worn
With toll and doubt and sin
Amid the world ne'er-ceasing din.
None for me of Equestrienne fair
daughters,
Back, craven, back, to thy bachelor
quarters,
And never more an ode indite
To beauty borne in other arms delight
While unloved these tears are shed.

GOOD THINGS TO EAT.

MR.. ]. S. TRAMMELL begs leave to
inform the citizens of BERKELEY, JEFFER-
SON AND MORGAN counties, that he has
again opened up business at the old Wis
ner Stand, next door to Lutheran Church
with an entire NEW STOCK OF FINE GRO
CERES which he has purchased in NEW
YORK for CASH, and which he is now
offering at VERY ATTRACTIVE PRICES for
STRICTLY SPOT CASH. or in exchange for
country produce. 1t is a well-known
fact that merchants who give credit al
ways count on large percentage of bad
debts, and figure their prices so as to
leave profit over and above the sum
they calculate to lose in this way. What
does this mean to the man who pays his
bills and meets his obligations 1t means
that he is compelled to pay 10, Is, and
even 20 per cent more than fair price
for the article he purchases in other
words he not only pays his own bills, but
indirectly pays the bills of every bad
debtor dealing with the merchant who
does business on a credit basis. Our motto
is GOOD HONEST SERVICE, LOW PRICES, 16
OUNCES TO THE POUND AND SPOT CASH.

There's little mischief-maker
That is stealing half our bliss,
Sketching pictures in a dreamland
That are never seen in this
Dashing from our lips the pleasure
OF the present while we sigh
You may know the mischief-maker,
For his name is " By and By
He is sitting by our hearthstones
With his shy bewitching glance,
Whispering of the coming morrow
As the social hours advance;
Loit'ring mid our calm reflections,
Hiding forms of beauty nigh
He's smooth, deceitful fellow
This enchanter, By and By
You may know him by his wincing,
By his sporting, careless air
BY his sly, obstructive presence,
That is straying everywhere
By the trophies that he gathers
Where his somber victims lie
For bold, determined fellow
Is this conqueror, By and Bly,
When the call of duty haunts us,
And the present seems to be
All the time that errIng mortals
Snatch from dark eternity,
Then fairy hand seems painting
Pictures in distant sky
For cunning little artist

But the phantom just above us,
Ere we grasp it ever flies.
