Not Likely to Ask Arbitration.

NEW YoRK, Dec. 30.--The Heralds
Valparaiso correspondent says he hardly
thinks there is much foundation for the
report cabled there from Washington
that the Chilian government is likely to
propose arbitration as means OF
settling the Baltimore trouble. At the
present moment, the correspondent says,
enough difficulty is experienced in form
ing the new cabinet to engroes the
entire attention of the Chilian admins
tration. It Is said that the reasons for
Minister Egan absenting himself from
the inauguration ceremonies was the
insulting tone of Minister of Foreign
Affairs Matta's reply to President Har-
yrison's message.

New Depot.

The past week has been an eYentful
one for Sank Centre in railroad affairs.
The Great Nortlleru road indicated that
it was willing to erect handsome brick
and stone depot, and put up brick
round house for several uses of the
Northern branch, providing suitable ac-
commodations could be secured in the
way OF desired real estate. To that end
h number of our citizens took held of the
matter and made tender Of tract OF
land belonging to Alexander Moore,
which he very generousaly offered at a
nominal price. Other parcels within the
city near the proposed new depot were
also secured, and will be decided TO the
company. The depot will be an orna-
ment to the city equal to any on the line
of the road except in the large cities. The
company expresses its appreciation of
the efforts made, and there is infinite sat
isfaction ia knowing that henceforth the
city and the road will act in harmony.
The new depot will be erected on the
north side of the track. which will be a
great eonyeince and will decrease the
danger very materially.
The Great Northern has it within its
power to be Of very material benefit to
the interests OF this eityi and spirit Of
thorough good will once fully establish
ed and results most beneficial will follow,

These insects, as Is well known. are not
only nuisance, but an absolute pest In

and destroy everything in their road

useful in more ways than one. For In
stance. bought an opossum skin rug
from a native. soon became painfully
aware Of the fact that 1t literally
swarmed with feas and other vermin.
In vain did exhaust my stock Of pepper.
Even turpentine seemed to have no effect
beyond increasing the reckless activity
of these irritating settlers.
At last In despair l threw my rug
down on an ant hill. In less than halt
an hour every flea and Objectionable
parasite was eaten, but the rug was full
of ants. | therefore hung It on q mi
mosa bush, and as soon as the ants
found they were suspended they has
tened to leave the rug and descended By
the bush as best they could.
Again. had killed snake In Tas-
mania and wished to clean and bleach
