Precious Ore in Central Park.

"There is silver in Central Park,
and I think gold and tin are also to
be found there" The speaker was
Colonel II. Charles Ulman, a lawyer
of New York. Colonel Ulpan, who
was In command of the Fifth Regi-
ment Of Pennsylvania Reserves DUR
ing the civil war, is practical miner
as well as soldier and lawyer. For
eight years he was interested in min
ing In Colorado, and the knowledge
he had gained in regard to it is Of
the practical sort.
"What makes you think those met
ais are to be found there?" he was
asked.
Il have found one, silver, and there
are Indications OF the Others" he re-
piled. Not long ago, while passing
through the depressed roadway at
Sixty-flfth street, 1 noticed a rock Of
peculiar appearance In the north re-
tanning wall. 1 examined it with the
glass l always carry in my pocket,
aud saw unmistakable traces of silver.
/ Clipped of piece Of the rock. I
used five miliigrams Of 1t in making
an assay, and the result Of the assay
was a showing Of forty-six ounces Of
silver to the ton. l learned from in
Quiry at the park department that
all the rock used in building this re-
tanning wall was quarried in the
park. IL that be the case, there Is
silver In Central Park. Since 1 Clip
ped the piece from the stone in the
wall In the Sixty-flfth street roadway,
the stone has been removed and an
other has been put in It's place, but 1
am confident that a little prospect
ing would result In finding stone in
the park that will not only show
traces of silver but Of gold and tin
as well.

shopplng In Cairo.

During their stay in Cairo, the late
Canon Lddon and his sister, Mrs
King, occasionally went shopping, and
the lady gives the following account of
oriental bartering: "De Nicola (the
courier) asked the price of an article,
and then offered one half; the seller
protested he never altered his price
then De Nicola folded up the goods,
put them on chair and said, Very
well, do not waste more words. shall
give you so-and-so.' The merchant
screamed; Do Nicola gesticulated; then
they shook hands, touched foreheads,
ETC., and thought the matter was ar
ranged, when De Nicola whispered to
us, Now the real battle is going to be-
gin They screamed, stamped, thump-
ed, and finally De Nicola threw back
all our purchases, and said we would
go TO another shop, naming It. At
once the salesman caved in, and pro-
tested he would rather give us his
gHods than that we should go away
empty handed, and SO the purchase
was conducted with smiles, handshak-
lngs and the usual greetings of lip and
forehead, and backsheesh was given
us into the bargain. London News.

Baptized His Own Child.

The vicar of a parish church which
stands in one of the South Midland
counties recently performed the inter
esting, though rather unusual, cere-
nony of baptizing his own child.
From the beginning of the service,
which took place in the presence of the
immediate friends of the family only, it
was evident that very little was neces-
sary to upset the gravity of the par
ticipators; in fact, there was a smile
lurking on every face However, all
passed off decorously until the time
came for the vicar to take his own
child in his arms, and ask the god
fathers and godmothers what name he
should christen it. AS he did so the
comic aspect of the situation was forced
upon every one present, when their
pentup feelings at last found relief in
ripple of laughter, in which even the
clergyman himself could not resist ioin-
ing, g,-London Tit-Bits.

REPUBLICANS HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.
The Political 0HtlOOk as Seen in New YOrk-COn.
snltatiOn at the Convention Hay Bring
Unexpected Changes.
REPUBLICANS HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK, May 22-The Tribune will
say tomorrow: The large preponderance of
delegates instructed for or believed to favor
the nominations OF President Harrison and
Ex-President Cleveland make it appear
probable that the struggle Of 1888 will be
repeated with the same Presidential
candidates. But consultations in either
convention may yet lead to a different deci-
sion. ana it is entirely proper that large
body of delegates should so to the cOnven-
ton unpledged and uninStructed, to learn
from the conferences there what are the
chances Of the different candidates in doubt
full States, and thea TO decide for the
best interests of the country. Such consul
tatiOn, the Tribune thinks. is likely to re-
suit in the denomination of the President.
With Cleveland nominated by the Dem
OcratS the Republican party would have no
cause to regard the future with alarm.
1t would be absurd for any man to claim
that President Harrison is not personally
stronger TO day than lie was four
years ago. He has been tried.
and has surpassed the expectations Of
the great party which elected him.
If he was strong enough to defeat Cleveland
before, when all the advantages Of position
and organization were on the side Of tile
Democratic candidate. what reason have
the Republicans TO doubt that he can defeat
the same candidate again under conditions
far more favorable ?'

Librarian Bancroft Writes a Caustic
Letter to Secretary Blaine.
HIS SILEKCE COULD NOT Be BOUGHT.
An Accusation That Men Are Dismissed From the
State Department Without Good Cause Being
Shown for Dismissal.
Special to THE MoRNING CALL,

WASHINGTON, May 22-Frederick Ban
croft has addressed a letter to Secretary
Blame in answer to the statement made by
the Secretary in recent letter to the Pres
ldent recommending the withdrawal Of
Bancrofps nomination as United States
Consul to Brunswick, Germany.
Bancroft says that it is a remarkable fact
that Blaine now assigns entirely different
reasons for Bancrofts removal from those
he gave when first interrogated upon the
subject. Bancroft says:
1T was well known in the department
that it was not until after you had resolved
up0n my removal and commissioned my
successor that you began seeking jus stifca-
tion for your action, which must also serve,
perhaps, as reply to the resolution of the
House. Before entering a direct reply to
your statements, permit me to remind
you Of the important fact that you
neglected TO consult the officer who
alone was intimate with and had
personal knowledge OF the work of my
bureau. l quietly sought simple justice
from the department, and too keenly appre-
ciated the difference between your power
and mine to make any threat. You denied
my request that / should not be removed
without an opportunity to meet the charges
10u endeavored TO induce me quietly 10 ac-
eept the e0nsulship. | merely insisted that
must have justice, and that | could not be
bribed into silence by any offer"
Bancroft, after explaining the cause lead
ing TO the removal of two library officials.
declines to enter into any controversy as to
the alleged quarrel between himself and
Lake, Third Secretary of State, as the latter
is now out of office. Still further along In
his letter Bancroft says:
Librarians Of experience will smile at
your complaint that was not qualified for
the place unless | was practical printer.
You will bear me out in the statement that
the department never employed professional
proOf-readers, but that the proof-reading
was performed by myself and assistants.
1t is amazing that it should have taken YOU
three years to discover my inefficiency; but
perhaps you will find an explanation for this
IN the fact that IL only recently became
necessary for you to make a permanent
place Tor your prOtege in your department,
where, according 10 your own declara-
ti0n, incOmpetency may flourish, and lack
OF ability and merit are not causes for i'm
mediate removal. Considering these in
disputable taets, can it be expected that
civil service reformers and faiT-minded pe0-
pie in general will really believe that the
Department OF State never changes its sub
ordinate officers except for good and suf-
fcient causes"
