Gen. Miles is very nervous about those
Canadian revenue cutters on the lakes. ''lt
Canada has built and armed three vessels
for service on the lakes, as described by the
officers Of the revenue marine service at
Washington, it amounts to declaration OF
war" said the general in response TO query
as TO what be thought Of the matter. That
Canada has built aud armed the cutters is a
fact. but men more learned in statecrafs
than Gen. Miles see no declaration of war in
il. IL England and Canada wanted to fight
the United States they would hardly go TO
building little boats on the lakes to do the
fighting with, when there are at present in
the British navy 10 war vessels of light
enough dranghtto allow OF their passage
through the Wellsnd canal to the lakes.

weaving by ELECTRICITY.

An experiment, the successful result Of
which constitutes another element in the
modification Of the factory system which
81 surely approaching, was tried last
month In England at the loom works OF
q Lancashire manufacturer. The test in
question was the application Of electricity
90 weaving. The works are illuminated
by electric light, the current being gen.
Grated by large dynamo on the premises.
Taking advantage OF this installation, a
motor was fixed in an upper room where
Fthe loom to be operated was placed The
aoom, which is Of the ordinary type used
In Lancashire mills, has what is known as
a A-inch reed space, and with electric
power it is worked at the rate Of 210 picks
per minute. Any workman past whose
door electric light main runs can now
have his own power and run his own loom
ct his own home. -

An Iri.h-chinnmnn.

Augusta now has several novelties in
the way of Cinnamon. Living on the
corner of Mcintosh and Calhoun streets,
is an Irish Chinaman. He is decidedly
the most intelligent Chinaman in the
city. He speaks and writes very good
English. He has been in Augusta only a
short while, and is doing grocery bust
ness at the place mentioned. He came
here from Beaufort, 8. c. He says he left
China when a boy and went to Ireland,
where he lived good many years.
The Irish brogue still sticks to him.
While in Dublin, Ireland, he married
an Irish woman named Mary Foley.
From Ireland he came to America, and
since has travelled all over the world, hav-
ing been steward in the navy for several
years, and steward on a merchantmen
for fifteen years. After passing through
many victssitudes he has taken his abode
in Augusta. He has been married nine
teen years and has two little children.

Primitive way OF Making Rut,.r.

a huge rubber baIl7 You would hardly
imagine that he was making butter, now
would your But such is the case. AL
the butter that is eaten in Uruguay Ii
made in that same primitive manner.
The modus operandt is as follows: The
dairyman pours the milk (warm from the
COW, without straining) into an inflated
sheepskin, which has the wool side turned
in.
He ties it securely, bitches It to his sad
die by good strong lasso and gallops OF

with the sack humping along behind OF
course, the churning is thorough, and by
the time his destination is reached the
butter is made. Then he has only to go
from door to door among his patrons,
ladling out desired quantities with q
wooden dipper. To be sure it did not
taste much like the lubricator we are ac-
customed to at home, being white as snow
and resembling curd cheese, but it has the
merit OF being sweet and without the
abomination OF salt, which has NJ busi-
ness in civilized butter. Though the
better class Of Uruguayan farmers have all

rhs wonder OF Al..k..

The Muir glacier, which is the great
wonder OF Alaska, was doubtless dis
covered by Vancouver in 1794, but Prof.
John Muir was the first to describe it.
Muir Inlet, at the head Of Glacier Bay, is
the termination OF this great river Of
ice." The wall OF blue ice is there mile
long and about 400 feet high. 1t is worn
into towers, castles and caverns, and Is
continually discharging fragments from
the size of paving stone to that OF
Cologne Cathedral.
These falling into the sea cast up the
spray for hundreds OF feet into the air,
and send forth waves which dash upon
the shores and echo like thunder among
the mountains. The Muir glacier is really
sea of ice, with numerous branches in
the valley, any one Of which is as large as
the Conner or Aletsch glacier Of Switzer-
land.
1t is, according to Mr.. 8. P. Baldwin, a
recent visitor, as large as all the Alpine
glaciers in one, being 1900 square miles
in area. The ice is 900 feet thick at the
mouth in Muir Inlet, and the glacier is
estimated to comprise as much water as
Lake Erie. 1t discharges 1900 OOO, 900
cubic feet of ice as icebergs, and 175, 900, :
0Oo, 900 feet OF water by melting every
year.-Lancaster, Eng, Times.

Tobacco Raising.

Tobacco plants are raised from seed,
which is commonly sown in heat Tin q
frame, pit, etc., in the month Of March,
the seeding being pricked out into small
pots, and not placed in the open air till
the mild weather of June has set in. The
tobacco plant loves a warm, sheltered
spot, with a southern aspect. II requires
. rich soil-to plant 1t in any other is in
deed seed and trouble thrown away. II
should have a deep, free loan, or ground
deeply trenched with well-rotted manure.
In dry weather 1t needs an abundance Of
water. For the purpose OF commerce, the
plants are cut when the leaves begin to
change to yellowish- green. They are
first laid upon the ground to dry, the
thicker stems being slit through to facili-
tate drying. Aftefward they are hung on
poles, so that the air may have free ac-
cess to them. II, as is often the case, arti-
hcial heat is needed to assist, it must be
of very gentle kind. When just suffi-
ciently dry (not so dry as to break }, the
tobacco is heaped together on wooden
platforms to ferment or "sweat." The
drying and sweating are very delicate
operations, and much care and skill in
them are required to produce high-clas,

Marriage Is least popular in the penln-
sula OF Athos, in the Egean Sea, in Eu-
yropean Turkey, because in that commune
ity, which enjoys complete autonomy
subject 10 paying the Turkish govern
ment an annual tribute, no marriage ever
takes place. They never allow any woman
in their, territory, and carry their objec-
ton to marriage and the opposite
sex to such an extent that no
females, even OF the lower animals,
is ever permitted to enter the
peninsula. The population, about 5000,
all monks, form kind Of monastic re-
public, consisting Of twenty large monas-
teries, besides numerous hermitages and
chapels.
The whole community Is governed BY
an administrative body Of four presidents,
one 0! whom is styled " First Man OF
Athos," and a representative body called
the Holy Synod, consisting OF twenty
mem bers, one from each monastery.
Among countries Of the world generally
marriage appears to be the least popular
In Chill, which country has larger pro-
portion OF its population unmarried than
in any other country. Taking Europe,
marriage appears the least popular In
Portugal, where, in every 1000 inhabit-
ants $40 are married, 62s are single, and
sixty-two are widowed. In Hungary
marriage would appear TO be more popu-
lar than In any other country. Ont OF

4 Mexican Curiosity.

Not a great way from Monterey,
Mexico, is the famous Carthusian table,
one of the greatest natural curiosities on
the North American Continent. 1t is a
tableland, 1,400 feet high and $500 feet
above sea level. The figure Of the table,
land is an almost perfect crescent, run
ming east and west, and on it's summit is
more than $1,000 acres of perfectly level
land Astounding in running water. The
only way to reach the top is by perilous
road FIVE feet wide and three miles long.
This singular mountain was named after
the Carthusian monks by former tribe
Of Indians who occupied it, and were
taught by the fathers. 1t is now owned
as a summer resort by Senior Don Patricc
Melmo, rich banker OF Monterey, a
lucky Irishman, who in his native land
was known as plain Pat Mullens.

a Rich. Mine.

The thousands OF tons of rich gold ore
disclosed in the Gordon mine, located
near Leadviile, is something wonderful.
Large particles of free gold may be seen
glittering by candle light in all portions
Of the vein. Seventy-two pounds OF ore
taken from this streak recently turned
over seventy three ounces OF gold to the
pound of ore. The streak closely follows
the hanging wall, and gives an average
return OF $4,000 per ton, the very richest
assaying as high as $50, 900 per ton.

The black Downs tower to westward,
A tomb for the buried sun,
The fats OF the water-meadows
Are fading from green 10 dun.
Dark spreads the vast arena,
4 swart on the yellow light,
And out Of the gloom and the silence
A strange voice cries 70 the night.
Cries--and q strange voice answers,
Sudden, and hoarse, and slow.
Heavy with pain past telling,
The weight of monstrous woe.
Still, as wait and hearken,
know not which they may be;
Voices OF down and marshland,
Or the voice OF my heart in me.
But know that the cry they echo
Was old when the world was young,
The plant OF nameless sorrow
Whose speech IL an unknown tongue.

Governor Brown arrived here this
morning and was at the Executive
Chamber shortly after ten o'clock AT
ter going through his official mail, and
consulting with several persons who
were waiting TO see him on business, he
directed the Secretary OF State to prepare
the official papers for the pardon of
Henry j. Spencer. now serving out a
life sentence OF imprisonment in the
penitentiary for the murder of w. Scott
Dawson in Allegany county. The par
don was granted, he said, on the condi-
tion that Spencer was to leave the State
and not return. The Governor said, in
view of all the circumstances connected
with this case, and the overwhelming
sentiment Of the bench and bar, and the
numerous recommendations of promi-
nent citizens. together with that OF the
prison officials, and the mans mental
and physical condition, he could not do
otherwise.
The Governor made two appointments
Of justices OF the peace, in Allegany and
Calvert counties, and appointed Clayton
j. Purnell, as trustee In the Maryland
Agricultural College to fill vacancy.
The Governor left on the afternoon
train for Baltimore.
