.Oxsters raound on Trees.

The coast waters at Sierra Leone,
Africa, are full OF oysters of the finest
grade-fully as good as Blue Points.
The tides eighteen feet at Sierra Lee
ono, and in many places the mango
swamps stretch hundreds of yards OUT
into the sea. Oysters in their curious
mlgrations are often lifted by waves
and carried about among these trees,
and it is SIGHT by no means uncom
mon to see them when the tide has run
out elinging ITO the branches as con-
fortably as though they enjoyed play
ing at fruit. Natives paddle about in
their canoes, gather the blvaIyes and
bring them to the traders and officers
for sale. In size West African oysters
are the largest j ever saw. In 1883
one oyster was served to three of us
at the quarters in Lagos, aud Captain
Davis, of the African Steamship Com
rpany, Mrs. Northumberland Grif
iiths and myself made bounteoul
meal from it. The shell was preserved
and is now in the steamship Office a

a new departure has this year been

large number Of our property owners
have planted, for the first time in the
history Of this parish, sour orange
seeds. They seem to have awakened
to the fact that orange trees can be
grown here with proper cultivation.
Sweet trees budded on sour stock will
be exclusively planted, for two reasons:
First The rylmperfcct drainage
which, owing to the cultivation Of
rice, must Unnecessarily exist here.
Second. The knowledge that bud
ded trees produce some years sooner
than seedlings.
We have noticed two fruit trees
growing 10 this section of Louisiana
that neither the seycrest winter nor
water has ever injured. We refer to
the sour orange tree. The roots Of
the sour orange tree are harder and
generally Stunned by insects.
The contrary must be said of the
sweet orange tree.
Budded trees bear in two and three
years; seedlings, in seven and eight

A Chicago man has invented a bot
tie stopper to be used exclusively for
poisons. The superiority over the
old fashioned article lies in the con
structioR of the stopper. The projec-
ton which enters the neck of the bot
tie is ground glass, with a small hole
in one side, through which protrudes
a little rod Or trigger The top Of the
stopper is covered with a small bell
inclosing cog wheels, which are 50 ar
ranged that when the stopper is re
moved the bell will ring. When it is
laid down it rings again, and when re
turned toIts place IN the bottle it again

non partisan, and the only restriction
under which it is placed is that the
non partisan rule must control In the
appointment of policemen. Almost
without exception the plan for the
management of the police force by a
commission thus constituted has been
found satisfactory, the exception be-
ing two or three of the largest cities of
the continent. where IL appears that no
wholly nnobjectionabie plan a be
operated and where the right method
for police control is still an open ques-
ton.
II will interest the STANDARD to see
whether the authorities in Butte will
attempt to define the manner In which
police commissioners may he removed,
In case a VIGOROUSLY bad board hap
pens to get into power. That question
was at the bottom of a memorable
fight which, about six years ago, in
volved every social and political ele-
ment i'm one of the chief cities Of New
York state. A mayor summarily re-
moved every member of the police
commission, bringing no charges, CIV
ing no reasons, permitting no member
Of the board to show cause why he
ought not to be removed. II was clear
that a majority of the people approved
the mayors course, but the commits
sioners had a following and law was
invoked. The case was carried TO New
York's highest court where the action
of the mayor was sustained.
This ruling invests the office of
mayor with powers that at first may
appear TO be remarkable, but it will be
noticed that the unerring tendency in
American cities is to load responsibility
on the mayor, to vest in him ample
powers, to fix a personal responsibility
i'm the management of municipal af-
fairs in short, 10 give the mayor very
large function and accompany this with
direct responsibility. Within a decade
scores of American cities have changed
their charters so as to gather up scat
tered responsibility and center it in the
mayor. II is a plan which has the ap-
proval of cities that have made the
best tests. Butte will move in that
direction If, taking the control of its
police force out of the hands of the
ward politicians, il demands a commits
sion having full charge of the depart
ment. Then, If a mayor dares to name
unfit men for this important trust, the
people know exactly where TO fix the
responsibility. At the same time, the
efficient police officer who has four re-
putable commissioners behind him,
will be absolutely removed from the
exposure which, under the present
plan, keeps his position dependent on
the victory of this OF that faction in a
charter election.

THE ADVANCE OF REALISM.

Although stage realism has made
many strides forward during the past
ten or fifteen years il still falls consid-
erably short OF perfection. Tanks
with real water, blacksmith shops with
live horses, iisticuffs with actual pugil-
lists and other such realities have been
introduced in the modern drama with
tumultuous applause in the galleries
and increased receipts in the box office.
Yet these innovations are but the al
phabet of realism. Somewhat more
advanced was the novelty presented by
q Chicago manager last winter i'm the
form of two genuine burglars who had
done time in a states prison, and who
enacted upon the stage portions of
their professional career, most con
spicuous among which was the crack
ing of a real safe with real %gunpowder.
This manager has caught the true
spirit of realism, and if he keeps ON he
may make his mark in the world. But
for boldness, for originality, for power of
seizing and utilizing what Augustin
DAILY calls c0ntemporaneous human in
terest, the Chicago man is not 10 be
compared with a New York actor of
the realistic name of Stout.
Mr.. Stout has been making n per
sonal study of Eyraud, the Paris muir
derer. lie not only interviewed Eyraud
and got him down fine, but he pur-
chased of him all the articles of Ga
brielle Bompard's property that the
stranger had in his possession. From
"a lar pa,,rnap Mr. StA.,t ha. ,r,.rnl
still more of Gabrielle's personal eff
fects, and having all the original eos.
tunes at hand SO that there can be no
possible danger of historical inaccuracy
In the visual paraphernalia of the
drama, he has set about the secondary
task of constructing the fabric of the
drama itself. Il shall play the
stranger" Mr.. stout, "and
my wife will act Gabrielle Bompard in
Gabrielle's own dresses, while i'm n of
the scenes shall introduce the
trunk, recticule and the rest of the
little things which were found in il
with the dresses"
Realism could not 20 much farther
unless Eyraud himself should be sub
stituted for Mr.. stout in the principal
role of the tragedy. Mr.. stout, appre-
ciating the difficulties i'm the way of
negotiating with the French govern
ment tor the loan of the stranger, has
undertaken the part himself, but would
unquestionably be more than glad TO
resign in Eyraud's favor should France
say the word. France being preemi-
nently the home of modern realism, IL
would seem meet and proper for her to
let Eyraud enact the part of himself in
Mr.. Stout's great show for a limited
season, say n hundred nights, with
the customary matinees.
The advantages of this scheme are
manifold. France could earn by il
more than enough TO pay the heavy
expenses involved i'm the strangers
capture, trial and execution. II he is
kept confined i'm his cell until his last
day. he will be a dead loss 10 the gov
eminent in every sense. Yet this is a
mercenary view of the project. Eyraud's
assumption of himself in Mr.. S.out's
tragedy would be more in the interests

HE PEITtR WAY.

Butte finds that its police force is not
rs satisfactory as IL ought 10 be. There
is nothing startling in this discovery
within sixty days, in Anaconda and
Missoula, the composition Of the po-
lice force has been u theme for angry
discussion, and we suppose that other
cities have a similar experience rs often
as once a year. This will always be
the case as long as the system is main
tanned under which the cities of Mon
tana manage the police department I:
the system itself is radically wrong.
Its cardinal fault Is that il makes the
police department a part of the politi-
cal machinery incident to all municipal
government. The tenure of the police
man, however competent or however
inefficient he may be. is made coinci
dent with the shifting of political
forces represented in city government.
No city i'm Montana will have a reli-
able police service as long AS this rule
operates. No city in the state has yet
developed out of its regular police pa
troll a competent detective force.
Mayor Walton has recommended n
complete change respecting the man
agement of police affairs i'm Butte. Ills
suggestion has been received with eyi.
dent favor and IL will probably be put
into execution. IL in this matter Butte
follows the precedent established in
cities which have studied and tested
the question, we may assume that four
police commissioners will be appointed
by the mayor. The term of office will
be three or four years, but the first ap-
pointments will be made so that two u
the commissioners will have a short
term and two of them a long term.
thus insuring hereafter the constant
presence Of experienced officers in the
board.
In most American cities the mem
bers of the police commission are ap
pointed by the mayor. The board is
