Spoiled by Luxury.

Luxury and ease never bring out the high
est qualities in mans character; work and
hardship are required for his best develop
ment. William H. Seward, it is said, once
ran away from college in fit of anger at his
father, and went to teach school in South
ern State. After some months Seward
thought better of his college, was reconciled
to his father, and returned to his studies. A
class. mate, one of the most brilliant men in
the college, took charge of the southern
school. Years after Seward met this class
mate who had married rich southern lady,
had settled down on u large plantation, and
had grown fat and lazy, doing nothing in the
way of study, and turning out very COM
mon-place man, without ambition or intel
lectual power A fine scholar had been spoil
ed by life of luxury. Mr. Seward congrat-
ed himself Oh his own escape from such an
ignoble fate. Had married a rich planta-
tion," he used to say, 81 might have been sat-
isfied with life of easy Incidence"

A Catbird Story.

The mother bird was killed by cat while
her young were still unfedged At first the
husband and father was dazed, but after a
time flew away and was absent for day and
night Then he reappeared with female

the establishment, fed the young and con-

derstood perfectly what was expected of her.
Where the widower found his new wife,
whether she was an old maid catbird or a
spouse induced to leave her lege lord by the
urgent representations of the widower, and
how the bereaved husband communicated
to her the state of his affairs at home are
questions for philosophers to determine, but
the moral seemed to be that a widower is
able TO look out for himself whether he wears
feathers or Prince Albert

Spring Song.

So many ways to wander ill.,
SO many lands to Seei
The west wind blows through orchard close
And the white clouds wander free;
The wild birds sing in the heart of spring.
And the green DoughS beckon me.
And it's OH for the wide world far away,
Ills there fain would be,
For 1t calls me, claims me, the livelong day,
Sweet with the sounds and the scents of May
And the wind in the linden trees;
The wild birds sing in the heart of spring
And the green Doughs beckon me.
Far and far in the distant dim
Thy fortune waiteth thee
know not where but the wide world is fair,
With many a strange countrie;
The wild birds sing in the heart of spring
And the green b0ughs Deckon me.
So many ways may never win,
Skies may never See
Oh. wOod-ways sweet for the vagrant feet,
What may not come to be?
What do they sing in the heart of spring,
And where do they beckon me?
Farewell, farewell, to my fathers house!
Farewell, true love, to thee;
Dear and dear are the kind hearts here,
And dear mine own roof tree
But the wild birds sing in the heart of spring
And the green boughs beckon me.

Just Indignation.

A director of horse railroad line was rid
ing on the car when woman near him was
robbed of her bonnet by gust of wind. Of
jumped the woman after her bonnet without
waiting for the car to stop, while the direc-
tor sat helpless and angry, with visions of q
suit for injuries from the relatives of the bare
headed woman dancing through his head.
But back she came unhurt, with the rescu-
ed bonnet on her head, and got into the car,
which had now stopped for her.
"That's right" said the director. That's
right risk, your life for two dollar bonnet"
The woman's eyes flashed fire, and she re-
torted sharply
"'Tain't two-dollar bonnet it's seven
dollar bonnet"

No Soap.

1t is stated that soap in India is regarded
almost in the light of a natural curiosity, for
1t is rarely, if ever, to be obtained ola shop
keeper there. OF course it is sold in the
larger towns but the amount used by the
natives must be very small, seeing that the
total consumption of soap in India last year
was only 5000 tons. This means that the
amount used by each person for the year was
considerably less than one ounce,

Some GOssfp About VINO Supplies Them.
Chas. R. Flint,s Statement.
: New YoRK, May 7.-Chas. R. Flint
head of the South American shipping
house of Flint & Co., smiled when asked
if it was true that his firm and that OF
w. R. Grace & Co. were interested In
prolonging the Chilean revolution.
NO." said Flint, that story is not true
as far as our house is concerned. We
are not in it. I don't believe
there is any foundation for the
belief that any commercial house
is interested in prolonging the
revolution in Chile. 1t is, of course,
to the. interest of every house having
business with the Chilean ports that the
disturbance should be over as soon as
possible"
"How about the shipments of arms
which your house is said to have made ?"
II do not care to discuss my private
affairs in the newspapers. If l have
made any such shipments, it is matter
of private business. The constitutional
government of Chile is on friendly terms
with the United States, and it is
perfectly in order for any commercial
house to make shipments to any recog-
Missed constitutional government. Of
course, if any vessel is to be sent out
with arms for the insurgents, they not
having been recognized as belligerents,
it would be violation of the neutrality
laws. But shipments of arms to con-
stitutional government, is just as lawful
as the shipment os provisions"
BRITISH BACKING FOR THE REBELS.
SAN Francisco, May 7.-Sefior Casa
nova, former Chilean consul, says 1T
will be found that British money is the
mainstay of the insurgents against our
government. The British want to OBJ
tain control of the nitrate deposits, and
President Balmaceda worked for the
benefit of the Chilean government.
THE NITRATE KINGS DENIAL.
LONDON, May I'm an interview to-
day, Sol. North, the nitrate king
said it was absolutely untrue that he
supported either party in the Chilean
conflict. He said: ''If the bank OF
Tarapaca has been drawn upon in pay
ment OF drafts, issued in payment Of
supplies purchased for the Itata, or for
any other vessel, the drafts were issued
merely in the ordinary course OF busi-
ness -

AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR.
Secretary Tracy viii Capture the Itata
If He Can.

II h0 Oah
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Attorney-G Gen
eral Miller this afternoon made public
the substance of the correspondence re-
latlng to the insurgent vessel Itata and
the schooner Robert and Minnie. He
refused to give out the full text of the
correspondence. The information given
by the attorney-general agrees sub
stantially with that received in the
press dispatches. The representations
upon which the orders were originally
given to detain the Robert and Minnie
were made by the Chilean minister, and
were to the effect that he had ;nforma-
tion that the neutrality laws were being
violated.
The encouragement refused to indi-
cate what further steps he had taken in
the matter since the escape of the two
vessels, or to discuss the probability of
any international complications. He
tary of the navy during the day, and
this gave color to the story that efforts
would be made to recapture the Itata.
THE SITUATION SUMMARIZED.
"Can you take the vessel on the high
seas without violation of the law? re-
porter asked the secretary.
"Yes, sir" responded the seci etary
emphatically.
"Will you do it"
II have no answer to make to that"
said the secretary. "You can't skin a
hare before you catch him."
This seems to summarize the present
situation. The ltata will be captured if
possible, but she has long start of any
pursuers.
(, AN INTERNATIONAL QUESTION.
Her escape raises an important ques-
ton of international law. The Alabama
claims, which cost Great Britain twerty
milliona dollars, arose in a similar man
ner, through the equipment of con-
federate vessel in an English port, and
the supplying of men, guns and ammu-'
milton to her by British vessels. AS the
Itata had been seized by the United
States at San Diego, she was technically
United States property until discharged,
and is therefore liable to recapture on
the high seas by United States man
of-war, or to confscation if she ever en-
ters United States port.
THE TREASURY OFFICIALS POSTED.
The treasury department officials are
kept fully informed of the movements OF
the Chilean vessel, Itata, which escaped
from San Diego, CAL, yesterday, after
being seized by the marshal. and of the
fruitless chase for the schooner Robert
and Minnie. They refuse, however, to
say anything in regard to the matter or
to make public the dispatches about the
affair.

The Opposition Against Maxwell.

of the appointment of Walter Maxwell, /,

tural bureau of the worlds fair, A dele
CATION is here from New York,
representing New York, Penn
sylvania and New England societies,
to join the other "kickers" inprotesting
against his confirmation. They assert
that Maxwell is not qualified for the po-
sition, and has not sufficient knowl-
edge OF horticulture. A local paper says
strenuous opposition has also developed

ARRESTED IN Los ANGELES.
Henry Long Wanted at Red Bluff on the
Charge of ofMurder.

RED BLUFF, CAL, May News has
been received of the arrest of Henry
Long in Los Angeles, today, for com
plicity in the murder of Oscar Crandall,
on April oath. 1t will be remembered
that Rube Mitchell, Frank Hughes,
Charles Boyden and Long were arrested
for the murder. Long was subsequently
released, and BoyGen stated at the cor
oner's inquest that Long had confessed
the crime to him. Public opinion here
is strongly against Mitchell, and none of
the officials think Long committed the
murder, but his presence will speedily
fix the guilt where it belongs, so every
one hopes. Sheriff Fish started tonight
to bring Long to this place.

WASHINGTON, May There is vast
accumulation of matters requiring at
tention from the state department., just
now, and Secretary Blaine will probably
be very busy man during the summer.
The recent events in the Chilean
situation have added complexity to the
affairs, and there is now long docket of
unsolved diplomatic problems, as fol-
lows: The Italian and Bering sea COM
plications; Canadian reciprocity and
the Newfoundland fisheries nego-
tiations; the Chilean troubles !;
the Spanish agreement; the Ven
ezuelan treaty; the Haytian coaling
station the refusal of China to receive
our minister; the trouble over the fail
ure of the consul at Victoria to toast
the queen, and quite number of minor
matters, including the claim of the Bar

An Attempt to Assassinate Cabinet Min

isters-Peace Overtures Rejected.
VALPARAISO, May o. Much excite
ment was caused here today by an at
tempt to assassinate leading members
OF the cabinet. The person engaged in
the plot sought to take the lives of the
ministers by the means of a bomb
thrown at the intended victims in the
street.
President Balmaceda rejected the de-
mand of delegates from the congress
sional or insurgent party, who had been
trying to come to some understanding
with the president, by which the civil
war might be brought to termination.
Therefore complete rupture exists in
the peace negotiations, and it appears
that the struggle must be renewed and
fought out until one or the other
is utterly crushed.
Balmaceda has given notice Of the
withdrawal of bank notes, the with
drawal to take place at the rate OF 10 pei
cent monthly. He also demands that
all import duties shall be paid in silver
