saying that the United States treasury
would be bankrupt, and that when the

be compelled TO default In the payment OF

The news of the governor Of Vermont
having formally notified Secretary Proctor
Of his intention to appoint him to serve
out the unexpired term Of Senator Ed
munds when his resignation takes effect,
November l, created no surprise here as
It was only carrying out what everybody
had accepted several months ago as Ger
tain TO occur. Secretary Proctor has ably
administered the affairs Of the war depart
ment, and while everyone rejoices that he
is to occupy place that is more congenial
to him there is q great deal more regret
than usually follows the retirement
of member Of the cabinet that he is to
lay down the war portfolio. Speculation
is rife as to who will succeed Secretary
Proctor In the cabinet and many names
are being mentioned, among them those
Of ex- Gov. Cheney of New Hampshire,
Senator Farewell and ex-Representatiye
Cannon Of Illinois, ex-senator Spooner of
Wisconsin, ex-senator Malone Of Virgin
ia, Hon. R. T. Lincoln, United States min
lister to England, er-Representative Nc
Comas of Maryland, ex-senator ingalls,
of Kansas and Gen. Alger of Michigan
The president is away and there Is nothing
to base any reliable prediction upon to be
obtained here, 50 that everybody may
guess to theil hearts content and talk up
their favorite. There is reason to belieye
that the president has already picked out
the man and obtained his acceptance oil
the place, but 1t isn't probable that his
name will be officially announced until
Secretary Proctor's resignation has been
formally accepted, and no one seems to
know just when that will be.

A Church Built of Coral.

The Seychelles Islands, which are sup
posed by many TO bs the site of the
Eden of the Old Testament history, form
an archipelago of Ia islands, and are
situated about 1400 miles east of Adel,
and 1000 miles from Zanzibar. They
rise steeply out of the sea, eliminating
in the Isle of Maize, which is about 5000
feet above the level of the ocean, and is
nearly the centre of the group. All these
islands are of coral growth. The beaches
which surround them are the most
beautiful in the world, and are OF white
calcereous sands inclosed in coral reefs
of the most subtitle and varied structure.
The reefs form a sort OF wall around
the island, aud when the suu's rays fall
slanting on the sands the shore reflects
here aud there light-tinted rainbows OF
the most exquisite shades.
The houses are built OF species of
massive coral hewn into square blocks,
which glisten like white marble and
show themselves to the utmost advantage
in the various tinted green Of the thick
tropical palms, whose immense fern-lile
leaves give pleasant and much needed
shade.
The palms grow as high as 100 feet
and more, overtopping both the houses
and the coral-built church. They line
the seashore and cover the mountains,
forming in many places extensive for.

The price ranges all the way up to $50.

beef, four or five big baked pike, chicken,
clam, oyster, sardine or Brie cheese
sandwiches, varied daily; lobster and
chicken salad, and olives, pickles, lettuce,
etc. Everything is of the best. 1t takes
ten cooks the better part of the night to
get the lunches ready for fifteen wagons
to distribute early in the morning. The
solids are placed in baskets and the
liquids in earthen Jars. When the
lunch is delivered at saloon the at

CurlOsities About Gold.

Gold is so very tenacious that piece
of it drawn ihto wire one-twentieth OF an
inch in diameter will sustain a weight Of
500 pounds without breaking.
Its malleability is so great that single
grain may be divided into 1000, 600
parts and a cubic inch into 1898, 500,
523 parts, each of which may be dis
tiDctly seen by the naked eye.
A grain and half of gold may be
beaten into leaves of one inch square,
which if intersected by parallel lines
drawn at right angles to each other and
distance only she one-hundre1th part of
an inch, will produce $4,000, 600 little
squares, each of which may be distinctly
seen without the use of a glass.
The surface of any given quantity of
gold, according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer $40, 1874
times. The thickness of the metal thus
extended appears to be no more than the
56S. .020th of an inch. Eight ounces oi
this wonderful metal would gild a silver
wire of sufficient length to extend en-
tirely around the globe. -LeshOboM Sun

Cruel Punishmenls in the Past.

In the matter of punishments, we
have entered upon a time of greater
cruelty than prevailed under the Plan
tagenets. Men are boiled and women
burned for poisoning; heretics are still
dunedin 1855 one thus suffered for
denying the divinity of Christ; ears are
nailed to the pillory and sliced off for
defamation and seditious words; long
and cruel whippings are inficted--in one
case through Westminster aud London
for forgery. An immense number are
hanged every year; the chronlcler
Machyn continually sets down such a
fact as that "on this day XII were
hanged at Tyburn, VII men and V wo-
men," Mariners were hanged at low
water at Mapping for offences commit
ted at sea; the good old custom OF pill
lorizing was maintained with zeal and
the parading of backsliders in carts or on
horseback was kept up. Thus one wo-
man, for selling fry OF fish unlawiully,
rode triumphantly through the town with
garlands of fish decorating her head and
shoulders and the tail of the horse, while
one went before beating brass bason.
Another woman was carried round, a
distaff in her haud and a blue hood on
her head, for a common seold. A msn
was similarly honored for selling measly
pork; aud another, riding with his head
to the animals tail, for doing something
sinful connected with lamb or VEAL

Bacon Adlourns a Legislature.

1t is related that one winter when the
kentucky Legislature was in a deadlock
and had passed a sleepless night in ses-
sion, the morning found them still in an
obstinate and ugly mood. All efforts to
adjourn were severely put down. Soon
after the breakfast hour arrived a mem
Der from the Big Sandy country went to
one of the iire.places in the ancient hall
aud laid on the hickory Goals a piece Of
bacon that he had found in n pocket
sandwich. The appetizing odor grad
ually filed the room; the sizzling was a
cheerful sound suggesting home, ease
and comfort. The members began to
stir confusedly in their chairs. The
hostile sides looked at each other sheep
ishly and Wistfully. They couldn't help
smiling, and at last broke into laugh.
An adjournment was moved by several
and carried unanimously. They say
politics is swaYed by phrases, but bit
of Kentucky bacon did the business this
time. - Cincinnati Iimss-Star.

What Becomes of All Old Hats 2

What becomes of all old hats " We
have about 200 old hats strewed along
under the counters and in the back
room," said South Clark street halter.
From ten TO twenty five tramps come
in daily and ask for a hat, yet our
refuse supply seems undiminished. The
tramps are glad to- see cool or rainy
weather at this time of the year. They
know that it will drive in the straw hats,
and they will fall heir to them. After
these straw hats have done service all
summer the tramps wear them all winter.
For summer hat the tramp gets the
cast-off winter hat. He reserves the
fashion. A great majority, however,
take their old hats home and lay them
up for rainy or snowy day. Some
people will wear straw hat two sea-
sons, but the great majority give them
to the poor. We send large number
to the charitable institutions. A great
many hats are left to be called for. If
not called for within thirty days we give
them away. Sometimes sharpers attempt
their little games on us. A small man
left his hat here, buying a cutoff crown
hat. The one he left was out of shape,
had lost its gloss and color, and was
worthless. He did not say that he would
return for it, nor did he say that he
would not. We put it aside, but when
he called for it we could not find it at
the moment. He then claimed that it
was good hat aud demanded S. for it.
We made thorough search, found the
battered tile and handed it to him.
Seeing that his scheme had failed he
threw the old hat into the street. -

The project Of demonstrating the ST.
berian reindeer in Alaska promises well,
thinks the Boston Transcript. Captain
Healy, of the revenue steamer Bear, pur-
chased several deer of the Siberian ma
tivcs during his recent cruise and
brought four to Alaska. There is little
doubt but that they will thrive, as the
moss upon which they feed is plentiful
in Alaska, aud that climate is almost
identical with that of Eastern Siberia.

Savage or half-civilized princes often
prefer death to exile in foreign coun-
try. Malietoa, the King of Samoa,
jumped overheard when the Germans
took him to the Gilbert Islands, and was
not rescued with his own consent. Three
chiefs OF the Comoro Islands, off the
East AFRICAN coast, were taken away
from home three months ago on account
Of the revolution which they headed
against the French. They were very uu-
happy on board ship, and when the ves-
sell reached Obock they tried to jump
overheard, and were placed in irons to
prevent further suicidal attempts.

It is said that few years ago some of
the members of foreign legations in
Washington gave the police no end of
trouble. Thsy knew that they could
not be punished for any ordinary misde-
meanor, and frequently raised row on
the streets. When arrested they had
to be released as soon as identified. FL
nally the police tried new dodge. They
had a few sluggers loadng around the
station, who made 1t point to pitch into
the foreigners, and give them black
eyes aud bloody noses. This quieted the
riotous members OF the legation, and for
lome time past they have gwen the po-
ice very little trouble.
