FLAHERTY's IDEA.

Mr.. r. FLAHERTY, who resides at
No. 141 West Fourteenth street, New
York, wishes the government to cast
IS. 600 tons Of idle silver into slabs one
inch thick and weighing COO pounds
each, and build at the Worlds Fair
with these slabs "a structure 400 feet
by 500, with tower of solid silver 800
feet high, on which you could place an
American eagle with wings 100 feet
spread. The silver palace, worth $780,
100000, would be an attraction that
would attract millions of people who
always want to see something
new and grand. The cost of
the palace, in addition to the
silver, need not be over $1,000, 900.
The army could guard it. None of it
would be stolen, as the pieces would be
too heavy. We might call it the Amer
lean Walhalla. Now if the Government
Of the United States wants to show
something to the world that has never
been seen before, here's chance. 1t
will also call the attention of the people
to the uselessness Of the tons of silver
now in the Treasury vaults"
Strange to say, the Treasury De-
partment has declined Mr.. FLAHERrY's
unique proposal. But the name, the
American Walhalla, ought not to be
forgotten. 1t is entirely suitable, and
may be used without carting the silver

To The Editor Of the Register:
SR:-May take the liberty OF ask
ing Rev. c. Nj. Afford, through the me-
dunn of your valued journal, what he
means by saying she has preserved his
religion without worship, his hopes
without foundation" as he is quoted
in the discourse upon the "Past, Pres
ent and Future of the jew" in Mon
days REGISTER.
l would also request Rev. Afford
whether he acknowledges the following
words as his judaism is religion OF
the past, with everything conducted
with it yelled in the mist OF antiquity"
The Rev. gentleman would also
oblige me by stating whether the fol-
lowing sentiments are given correctly;
1.-THE day will come when it will be an
honor to be Jew. Now, like dead

vine" etc. Words spoken can easily
be misconstrued, and l would like to
know for sure whether Rev. Afford did
say the various words as mentioned
heretofore.

sets, has been so profoundly moved by
the recent protest of ex-Gov. AMEs, a
brother Massachusetts Republican,
against some OF the Mckinley tariff pro-
visions, that he undertakes sundry rash
engagements for his party. Congress
man WALKER is one of your thorough
going personals he showed when he
took Off his coat in the House Of Repre-
sentatives and continued mis- speech in
his shirt sleeves-who believes in the
inspiration Of the Mckinley law from
the enacting clause down TO the final
period, and ne defes Ex-Governor
AMEs to point out a flaw in the entire
measure.
If the Republican party is to be held
up to the line of Mr.. WALKER's chal-
lenge a remarkably large contract has
been entered upon.
Take the duty on raw wool, for in
stance. The wool which Americans de-
sire to import comes, not from Europe,
but from Australia and the Argentine
Republic, and it is to be supposed that
when Mr. WALKER talks about the diff
ference between European and Ameri-
can wages he means to imply that the
same difference exists between Ameri-
can wages and wages in any other coun-
try from which goods would naturally
be imported. But he cannot pretend
that the duty on Australian wool repre-
Sents the excess of the wages paid in Ohio,
for instance, over those paid in Australia,
inasmuch as wages in Australia are prob
ably higher than in Ohio; certainly this
is the case with the pay of sheep-shear-
ers. 1t would be interesting also to see
Mr.. WALKER defending the duty which
is extorted by our benevolent govern
ment on Canadian natural gas, upon the
plea that it is necessary to make up for
the difference between Canadian and
American wages! He would probably
undertake TO show that the forces in the
bowels of the earth which produce nat
ural gas work at lower rates on the
Canadian side than they do just over
the border in New York.
Mr.. WALKERS promises that the Re-
publicans will put on the free list any
thing, not luxury, that cannot be pro-
duced with as few hours labor in this
country as in any other, puts his party
in an even more desperate plight. The
only practicable test of what nature in
this country can produce is what it does
produce. IL does not produce carpet
wool, because such wool as Is grown
here is fit for better use than to be made
into carpets Yet there is duty on car
pet wool, and we must conclude that Mr..
WALKER regards carpets as luxuries.
This country does not produce fax lit
for making linen, and presumably can
not do so protita6ly; but there is duty
on manufactured flax; is it then
luxury? A similar comment might be
made on the linen duties, for except
the single article Of crash, no linen
goods, We believe, are made in the
United States. Bright tin plate is not
made in this country, except for politi
cal purposes; yet there is heavy dnty
On it. Mr.. WALKER evidently regards
canned goods as luxury to be severely
taxed in the interest of simple living on
champagne and oysters.
The Republicans will do we'll to call
in their shirt-SleeveS orator before he
makes any more rash promises on their
behalf.

In 1881 Mr.. James Cleland, ar Irish gem
tleman, being curious to ascertain whether
the climate or soil of Ireland was natural
" destructive to the serpent tribe, pur-
chased half dozen of the common harm
less English snake (Natrix torquata) in
Covent Garden market in London. Bring
ing them to Ireland he turned them out in
his garden at Rath gael in the county OF
Down, and in a week afterward one OF
them was killed at Milecross, about three
miles distant. The persons into whose
hands this strange monster fell had not
the slightest suspicion that it was a snake,
but considering it curious kind OF eel
they took it to DIR. j. l.. Drummond, a
celebrated Irish naturalist, who at once
pronounced the animal to be a reptile and
not a fish. The idea of "rale living sar-
pint" having been killed within short
distance of the very burial place of st.
Patrick caused an extraordinary sensation
of alarm among the country people.
The most absurd rumors were freely cir
culated and credited. One farseeing cler-
gyman preached a sermon in which he
cited this unfortunate snake as token OF
! the immediate commencement of the mil
! lennium; while another saw in it type OF
the approach of cholera morbus. Oid
! prophecies were raked up and all parties
! and sects for once united in believing that
| the snake foreshadowed 1.-The beginning Of
the end" though they very widely diff
fered as to what that end would be. Som'
more practical minded persons, however
subscribed a considerable sum of money
which they offered in rewards for the de
struction of any other snakes that nigh
be found in the district, and three more o
the snakes were not long afterward kille'
within few miles of the garden wher
they were liberated. The remaining tw
snakes were never very clearly accountei
