Persian Swords.

The swords of Hindostan are of end
less variety in size and shape, the most
common being the "tegha" and 'stal-
war, *broad, much curved blades, wrong
ly styled scimitars, the real scimitar
being clumsy chopperlike weapon,
nearly straight and widening to the
point. There is the "khanda," a heavy
straight sword with basket hilt, like the
Scottish claymore. The khanda was an
object of worship to the Rajputs, pre-
cisely as to the Scythians. The "pata, !"
or gauntlet sword, much used by the
Mahrattas, was development of the
'katar," having long rapier blade,
often of Spanish make, and cylindrical
hilt, into which the arm was passed ito
the elbow. The Persian sword, how
ever, was valued above all others, and
particularly those of Khorassan.
These are the real Damascus blades"
the damascening being produced by the
crystallization of the STEEL Connois.
seurs recognize ten different varieties Of
watering or ''jauhar;" and the most in
credible prices have been given for
fancy specimens. But the great brittle
ness of these swords makes them unfit
for use by Europeans, who would shiver
them to pieces by a. ''swashing blow
while the oriental employs their razor
edge only for the drawing" cut

wailea cities of Italr.

Necessarily the romantic and histor-
ical charm of English walled cities is
but small compared with that of conti-
mental cities. The walls of Rome, for
instance, are standing monuments of
the city's history from the earliest times
to within the last half century; but
owing to the extraordinary character
and variety of other antiquarian objects,
they hardly come in for that share of
the visitors attention which they de-
serve. Yet an inspection of them, with
their ancient. and medieval gates, the
many styles of their construction, each
pointing to particular period of their
history, their size and strength. their
odd little hooks and corners and their
picturesqueness, is worth a journey,
which convinces the stranger that they
would form the chief attraction of any
other city but Rome.
Indeed, as is not surprising, Italy is a
nest of ancient walled towns, and we
may note all degrees of grandeur, from
the still formidable looking zones which
surround Geneva La Soperba OF Firenze
La Bella to the quaint little lines of
Notifications which zigzag up the vine
clad hillsides of the north coast of the
Mediterranean, surrounding in many in
stances mere villages, but speaking elo-
quently to us of those hard, stirring
times when the hand of every man was
against his neighbor. Cor. Chicago Her

The dried fruit market showed quite a little

The market for dairy, produce is in a very

The vegetable market was in q most unsat-

The fact that in his opinion the
United States was a great nation,
honorable, and just in its dealings
was emphasized. and he could
not believe there was any desire on
her part to humiliate Chill. He
felt positive of her good entions,
and urged the Chamber to remem-
Der the position which she assumed
when the French occupied Mexico.
To the United States, continued
Senor Jordan, Chill and all the
smaller South American Republics
must look for protection in the ex-
pounding and enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine. Chilli, he felt
sure, ought to meet the demands
made upon her in friendly man
ner, and acknowledge with regret
The unfortunate occurrence of
which complaint is made.) The
general sentiment of the Chamber
was favorable to the sentiments ex-
pressed by Senor Jordan, with the
single exception of Joaquin Walker
Martinez, who has been long know wn
as entertaining an active dislike to
Americans. He spoke against
Senor Jordan's request, but his
opposition was unimportant. In
reply to Senor Jordan's interpola.

an answer to the ultimatum Of the
United States had been sent te
American Minister Egan, which he
hoped and believed would prove

but at present he was not at liberty

meeting of the Council of State

trust to their sublimity of luck.
But they desired that their princi-
pies should be enacted into laa and
that was their mission on the floor
OF the House. But as long as the
government machinery ran in is
present groove they could not hope
to gain foothold for their princi-
pies.
MIR. Dingley, of Maine, said it
was outrageous that the three gen
tlemen on the floor constituting the
Democratic majority of the commit
tee ON rules should have the power
to say what business should be
transacted in the House. He
thought that riders on appropria-
tion bills were most dangerous.
They would drag in new issues and
it would be late in the fall before
Congress adjourned if this amend
ment was adopted. 1t would en-
danger the existence of the govern
ment itself if riders were allowed on
appropriation bills.
Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky,
spoke in support of his amendment
requiring that appropriation bills
should be reported within eighty
days. This would result in fair
play and justice to all concerned.
