was in moving the cargo of the ship
Cape Horn, wrecked off the coast Of

Hooper made seven descents to depth

Gov. "BOB" TAYLOR, of Tennes-
see, seems to be weary of the cares
of State. and to look eagerly toward his
retirement to private life. Speaking,
the other day, at Chattanooga, he said:
when a mere boy, on the farm, on the
banks of the Watauga River, I used to
steal an hour occasionally to sit under
the sycamore trees and dream of the
future. I thought that if I could get
off the farm and into the city, and be a
lawyer, my cup Of happiness would be
full. went to the city, learned a few
legal phrases, and my ambitions were
to go into politics. My people sent me
to Congress, where I sat for two years
with the great men of the country. My
dream was then to be Governor of
Tennessee, the greatest State of the
Union, and I thought my happiness
would be complete. For two terms the
people of Tennessee honored ms with
the position of chief executive. Ny
ambitions have all been realized-Ih have
mingled with the great and rich men of
the country, and have been on a high
pinnacle in politics; but I say to you
that, after a careful review of the past,
I sigh to rest me again under the
shadow of the old sycamore tree on the
Watauga, and live again the life of the
farmer boy. There alone is perfect
peace, joy and contentment. I have
no political ambitions to satisfy-my
greatest desire is to get on a good farm,
with my wife and children, and there
pass the closing years of my life"

The German Empress, Frederick,
loves little children. She never fails
to notice every one she sees, and viii
often stop in her walks and speak to
them. Even grubbiness will not deter
her from taking particular fine baby
in her arms, though, Of course, she pre-
fers them clean. In return, children,
who always know their friends by in
stinct, are attracted to the Empress,
and the following little incident, which
occurred lately, illustrates this: A
gentleman who passed daily between 3
and 4 o'clock along the road that leads
from Berlin to Charlottenburg, noticed
a little girl always standing at the cor
ner of the Hardenberg strass, and at
last he asked her why she did it. BE
cause of the Empress Frederick" she
answered. While the Empress was in
Berlin, she drove every day when it
was fine toward CharIottenberg with
her daughters, and at the HippodrOme
they got out Of the carriage and walked.
Her Majesty noticed the little igirl
always waiting at the same place, and
invariably nodded kindly in acknOwI-
edgment of her curtsey, whereupOn the
child went home beaming.

Winter apples Of the best keeping sorts

able. OF course, perfectly sound apples must
DO selected-a small bruise or decayed spot

above the freezing point, and equable, is
essential Fruits do not keep so well in
warm temperature, and fluctuations are even
more to be avoided.
This should be observed in keeping apples
for use during winter and early spring, and
for this reason it is best 30 have the fruit
room disconnected from the cellar, or at
least separated from the rest Of the cellar by
a partition. If brick partition cannot be
afforded, one Of matched boards win answer
Sliding sash viii enable one to regulate the
temperature. The fruit room should always
contain a reliable thermometer.
Select the apples for long keeping in the
late fall or early winter and wrap tissue pa
per around each apple. Bought in quantity
this paper is cheap, and several bushels can
be wrapped in an hour. Place the apples on
shelves, stems up. Or, what is perhaps a
better plan, pack the apples down in fire dried
sawdust or bran, chaff or land plaster. The
fruit may be packed in either kegs, barrels
or boxes First make a layer Of chaff, or
whatever is used an inch thick; then layer
OF apples, stems ups hil All sPdces wiz

nicely in an clubhouse with three or four
feet Of straw thrown over them. The barrels

some Of tho Natural Sculptures which |
Surprise One with Revelation.
We know so little Of the scenic beauties OF
our country that every year surprises us with |
a new revelation. The rock sculptures Of the
Peach Spring canyon Of the Colorado river
are marvels which very few Americans have
seon
The length OF the canyon is 3e5 miles, and
the highest cliffs rise TO 1900 feet. Some Of
the principal ruins-this word seems TO be
the only word to apply to them--have been
named from time to time, and for the most
part with fitness.
One is Solomon's Temple, another The
Pyramid. another Sunset Peak, and still
othors The Sphinx, Westminster Abbey and
The Beehive.
Solomons Temple is considerably over a
mile high, and the denudation and wearing
of the rock by water has been such that il
represents an enormous pile Of architecture,
with sculptured bastions, harmonious in its
proportions, with great terraces at its base,
.rd growing smaller toward the top. On
"a vsry top, in the center, is "A pyramidal
oeal IN exact proportions. This sculptured
pile is from two to four miles across the
facade and to see these things standing up
and against the clear, cloudless blue of the
Arizona sky, produces an indescribable effect.
Sunset Peal, goes up like dome 6,0O0 feet,
and, when the sun sets clear and has entirely
disappeared behind the mountains its reflect
cd light rests on this topmost peak and trans
forms il into a minaret Of gold-a heavenly
light indeed
Another architectural piece goes by the
name Of Bahel's Tower, and is 5000 feet
high, and this has beautiful sculptured but
DO Ia fI. fef
height
The Pyramid is A, 200 feet above the river,
and the river is l., 1870 feet above the sea.
Some of these cliffs of even terraces and
strata rise almost perpendicularly to a height
OF $500 feet, and as high up as the eye can
detect variety of plants, including cacti,
perch and thrive in the crevices. Some va
rieties of flowers bloom the year round in the
canyon, so mild is the temperature, even in
mid-winter.
OF course it is impossible for any visitor 20
| appreciate the magnitude of this scene of
ruin and desolation. The chimney ON the
top of perfect pyramid, that was sixty feet
square by actual measurement, looks TO Ia
the size Of an ordinary chimney.
| The full beauty of Westminster Abbey and
its likeness to its venerable, ivy grown name
sake, is very striking, only it is a far more
wonderful structure.
Just before reaching it, and on the same
side of the canyon, is the Temple of Jupiter
and it is mquestionably one Of if not the finest
parts Of the canyon. Il is a mighty pile OF
stupendous harmony and sculpturing, the
central facade bearing multitude Of sphinxe.
and classical images.

The ratification by the Senate Of the
British extraditian treaty is conspic-
uous diplomatic triumph Of Secretary
Blaine. who negotiated the treaty with
Sir Julian Pauneefote, and who has sue
ceeded IN an important international
undertaking wherein his predecessor.
Secretary Bayard failed.-New York
Herald
So far as ex Secretary Baysrd 10 con
cerned tho statement above is not true.
be did not fail in any sense of the
word.
No Democrat could have constructed a
treaty which would have been allowed to
become law by the hostile Republican
Senate which trammeled ex Secretary Bay
ard. The Committee on Foreign Relations
contained two disappointed candidates
for the Presidency. Neither Sherman
nor Edmunds considered it good policy to
allow a treaty negotiated by Democratic
administration, at that time, to become a
law.
The Herald well knows that the Presi.
Dental election was approaching It
we'll knows the attitude Of the hostile
Senate and the still more hostile Presi
Dental candidates rendered it impossible
to pass any treaty whatever.
In addition TO this the Herald knows
that the Republican managers had made
an infamous bargain with the dynami-
tard wing Of the Irish Americans which
precluded the passage Of Mr. Bayard's
treaty. The bargain was con.
clusively proved by the favors
| of this administration tothat wing OF the
Irish-American party Patrick Egan was
sent to Chill in payment for his services
before the ink ON his naturalization
papers was dry. Truth is truth, no mat
ter whom it hurts But knowing the
truth. so well, it is difficult TO under
stand why the Herald can make the above
statement.
The rejection OF es Secretary Bay ards
treaty was in no sense Mr Bayardr
failure.
1t would be equally just and sensible
to accuse Mr. Carlisle Of a failure to pass
the old rules used in the Fifueth House
Of Representatives in the Fifty frst
House Of Reed.
The Herald does not state the situation
fairly, OF even truthfuny. A treaty
should have been negotiated long ago.
IL is well that it has been done at last,
But in praising Secretary Blaine, the
Herald should not condemn ex-SecretarY
Bayard for failing 20 do what no power

American manufacturers Of cutlery were

On table cutlery and guns the Ameri-
can manufacturers control the market,
and on pocket knives they are able to
hold their ground against any competi-
ton except on the Sheffield specials.
By comparisons of samples and price
lists It was proved to the satisfaction Of
any honest man that the manufacturers
not only do not need any more ''protec-

that they needed less.

A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLICAN
As an exponent Of local Republication
Mr.. Solomon Jersey is more representa-
tive than creditable. He is not con-
spicuous for ability, dignity, or influence.
Yet he is the best known exponent and
example Of local Republicanism in the
city. He is the beat known newspaper
man Of his party ia The city.
Though only q reporter on the Daily
Republican he wears the credit Of being
its editor in-chief, Of controlling its
policy and the bias Of its news with
grace and undisguised pleasure.
Mr.. Herseys paper has larger eircu-
iation than any other Republican paper
IN Delaware. so that he aud Il may be
said to be distinctly Republican and rep
resentative Of Rspublicanism in VII
mngton. Hence while Mr. Hersey would
not deserve a moments notice because Of
any intrinsic merits or distinguished per-
sonal characteristics he does deserve at
tentiou, because of the large class he rep
resents.
As compared with some other Republi-
cans Il would seem strange TO man I'M
familiar with the aims and ends Of the
party here that Mr.. Hersey occupies suef
prominent position. But facts arr
always stranger than fiction.
However few dudes and Mugwumpl
may chafe at the prominence Of Mr.
Hersey, 1t is an indisputable fact that b.
is the best exponent Of the methods, aims
practices, principles and ability of th'
Republican party in Wilmington Thii
fact is within the knowledge Of ANYONE
who viii observe how numerous Mr.
Hersey makes himself in public, and how
much larger the circulation Of his pape
is compared with the circulation OF an,
other Republican paper In the city.
That being the case It must be admit
ted that Mr. Jersey is the most promi
nent Republican In Wilmington, and tbs
his paper has more influence among r,
cans than all the other Republican pa
pers combined.
We do not esteem this creditable TO 1
numerous party, to q party While
makes such pretentious claims to intell
gence and good morals, or to our cit
But the facts we state are patent A.
easily confirmed
