NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Before Nh. Con-
zales and his lawyer, L. G. Reagner, let for
Washington to-day, the latter said regard
ing the detention OF the South Portland,
loaded with arms consigned to Venezuela:

Difference Of Opinion.

A Difference Of Opinion.
What constitutes the point of a
joke is largely a matter of opinion. A
German oneday expressed himself as
being somewhat offended because an
American gentleman had asserted
his Teutonic countrymen could not,
as a rule, appreciate American Jokes.
"Try one on mel" said he defantly;
and the American accordingly told
him the story Of the tree tout Vest
which was so high that it took two
men to sec the top. One of them saw
as far as be could and then the Sec
ond began to look at the spot where
the first stopped seeing.
The recital did not raise the ghost
of q smile upon the German'sface, and
the other said to him:
"Well you see, the joke is lost on
you. You can't appreciate American
humor."
"Oh, butt" said the German, with
the frankness characteristic Of his
~countrymen, "that is not humor-
that, is one lie!'

The Wool

The Grange Advocate thinks that
Australia sets the wool standard.
It argues as follows: I'VE American
wool growers have to meet Australians
in our own woofmarket and We have
to do so on standards OF their own
making. It is the fineness, length of
staple and soundness offibre, freedom
from grease, uniform percentage or
shrinkage, and their system of grad
ing woods that have brought them into
favor with the manufacturers. These
conditions of aeeces are reasonable
and just. If we were exporters instead
ofimporters of woods We would study
the likes and dislikes of the markets
we sought to supply with the great
est care. As all our woods 60 into do
nestle uses the wool growers do not
consider it worth while to consider
the wants and wishes of home manu-
facturers. Thus the men we most
need to please are driven to buy in
other markets and go where they can
do the best"

HARE TO COUNTERFEIT.

the Paper Money OF Europe--Why
IL eorhers the Counterfeltera.
1.-THE paper money OF TIE United
States is the least handsome in the
world" said the proprietor of a
money exchange. "That is because
Government depends entirely upon
the intricacy and elaborateness of tho
designs on it's notes and certificates
for protection against counterfeiters.
In foreign countries, on the other
hand, much effort is directed to
making their currency beautiful with
pictures and arabesques in the CLASH
cal style. Not only are the results
pretty to look at, but they serve
their chief purpose better, for any
engraver will tell you that real art
work on a bill is far more difficult to
initiate than any purely mechanical
effect, no matter how complicated the
latter may be made by the geometric
lathe and other devices.
GHOST beautiful of all paper notes
are thoseissuedin France and Prussia.
Here is a pretty Austrian bill for 100
forms, printed in blue ink with the
design mainly composed of two large
standing figures of cherubic children
and an oval of children's heads. That
seems a queer notion from our point
of view for tho ornamentation of
currency, but it is certainly both
interesting and handsome. This is a.
Russian bill for 100 rubles, done in
pink and green, Here you have a.
Scotch note, issued by the British
Linen Company which promises to
pay IS on demand. In Great Britain
the privilege of issuing paper money
can be obtained by corporations
other than banks from the Govern
n,ent.
"You will need amagnifying glass to
examine this note with. It is Irish.
The words 'one pound'e are printed
across it In big letters, but this broad
stripe extending from one end to the
other of the document in q curiosity
To thenaked eye, even upon scrutiny,
it seems to have no significance, but
when magni6ed you will preceive that
it is wholly made up OF the words '6n
pound in microscopic letters. From
the superficial appearance of the bank
OF England notes you would suppose
that they could be readily initiated
by the photography or otherwise, in
asmuch as their designs consists of
very little more than lettering in
black that is almost severely simple.
But that great financial institution
d ponds altogether upon the water
smnrking of its paper, whichis wonder
fully elaborate, as you can see by
looking at the light through it. This
water marking;h has been initiated, but
V with success. "-Washington

Caught Turning Over the Dead

Dawn was breaking over the battle

the SUMS first rays slanted across the
plain and glinted on the trapping OF
the dead or lit-up faces on which the
dewe OF heaven were mingled with the
dews OF death they revealed a single
living, moving figure.
1t was that Of a young He
hurried about apparently unmoved
by the horrors which surrounded him.
Climbing owe broken gun-carriages
and all the wreck Of q hard fought
field stepping across the torn and dis.
tigurri bodies, giving neither aid to the
wounded nor reverence to the dead,
hastened on. Occasionally he would
stoop ove some body and turn the
cold face up to the sun. Quietly but
swiftly he worked. Now and then a
feathered raven, frightened from it's
horrid feast by the approach of it's
human prototype, flew away a few
feet, uttering sharpprotests. He heed
ed it not. His eyes we're bent ever
downward.
It was growing lighter now, and two
sentries in the edge of the wood noted
this lone hoverer over that scene of
awful carnage,
"Ghoul!" said the other. "a beast
who robs the dead isnot worthy to be
shot"
"Right!"
The gun was lowered and the two
soldiers silently approached the
wretch. He made no resistance: no
attempt to escape. He was taken be-
fore the colonel,
"Search him, commanded the officer,
as he fixed alook of unutterable loath-

The soldiers roughly removed his
outer garments and investigated

After Mitchell.

New YORK, Sept. 13.-When the Corbett
train pul'e4 into Wilmington to-day the
throng was 30 great that the train had to
come almost 10 a standstill to avoid acci-
dent in the shape of running over a lot OF
people. By degrees they managed to work
their way up to the depot, wherethe crowd
closed in on Corbett's car until they were
packed together like sardines. At Phila-
delphia the throng was great. but fortunate
Nv the bulk of the people were kept out
side the iron fence. Corbett says the man
above all others in the world that he wants
to meet is Charley Mitchell. He has made
up his mind to make Mitchell do more
fighting and less talking. Saturday, Sept.
II, has been left open for S%ullivan's benefit,
at which Corbett offered in New Orleans to
spar four rounds: He has not received any
acceptance yet further than q dispatch saw
ing Mr.. Moran, Sullivan's manager, would
meet Mr.. Corbett to-day in New York. 1t
is his opinion, however, that Sullivan will
accept. An immense throng wa gathered
at the Jersey City depot, and it was with
difficulty that the police opened up a way
and got him ON the Desbrosses street ferry
boat.

THE BIG SUIT.
The Waikapu Sugar Go. and the
Hawaiian Commercial
Sugar Co.

As much interest seems TO have
developed in the community re-
garding the Million Dollar Suit,
we have been furnished by the
Court the recent Banco decision,
which sustains the defendants
plea in Abatement" that the
president Of a corporation cannot
bring suit against another corpora
ton without the consent of three
fourths Of the stockholders, the
plaintiffs and defendants, each
holding one-half Of the shares in
the first named corporation. One
effect Of the decision is, that Mr..
Geo. Macfarlane, the holder of
one-half of said shares is required
to sue in his own name, and
at his own cost and expense in a
Court in Equity, to recover dam
ages for the Waikapu Commons,
lands, appropriated or used by the
Hawaiian Commercial Co., but IN
which the latter own a half inter
est in common. Mr.. Macfarlane
has in his own name, now filed
suit in equity in the Supreme
Court, for a bill of accounting
or bill of discovery for half of the
rents, issues and profits of the
lands cultivated, which, it is said,
have produced over $4,000 tons of
sugar. AS the principals of both
corporations are now here, it is ex-
pected that the suit will very
shortly come up in the Courts and
be heard on it's merits. The banco
decision and the complaint filed in
Court for the cross bill in equity
will be printed in our columns this
week.

Il UNIQUE CALL.
AdOlph Aschheim, Mounted on a
Horse, Pays a Visit.

Horse, rays a IISIt.
For some few days the eccentric
actions of Adolph Aschheim have
caused his friends considerable
worry. Yesterday morning he was
mounted on a horse, and attracted
considerable attention on Fort
street by his peculiar behavior.
He finally decided to pay visit to
the store Of Lewis & Co., and the
idea had no sooner entered his
head when he carried it out by
driving the animal into the store
To say that the clerks were sur
prised is to put it mildly; they
finally persuaded their eccentric
visitor to depart, so he left with
the intention Of performing the
same feat across the way; but the
storekeepers were on their guard,
and would not allow him to enter
their stores. He then rode off.
For several days Aschhelm has
acted in a queer manner. He i'm
AGNES that he has the wealth of a
"Monte Cristo," and with that idea
in mind he attempted to purchase
every livery stable in town the
other day. He also informed a
number of friends that he had
hired the Palace, and intended to
give luau there for their benefit.
1t was said last night that he
was placed in the hands Of 9
