A sHlPLoAD OF SCORPIONS.

Uncomfortable Experience of the Crew of
 avossel With a Cargo of Bones.
 The schooner Wallace J. Boyd, Cap tain Godfrey, arrived here early yesterday morning from Montevideo with a cargo of bones, which were gathered from the plains of that locality, and the voyage will long be remembered by Captain Godfrey and his wise as well as by all the sailors. The ship became infested with scorpions, which arose from the cargo and penetrated every available quarter of the ship. The seamen's rest was disturbed, and for weeks at time the unfortunate men dared not rest themselves in their hunks for fear of be- ing stung by one of the creatures.
 Every effort to rid the ship of the plague was unsuccessful, and even on Monday night, while lying at the upper alive with these creeping insects. Ch- matic changes had no effect whatever on them, and those of the crew who enter tained the belief that they would disap- pear as the northern attitudes were reached were disappointed.
 Captain Godfrey is at loss to know how they found their way out from be- heath the matches, which on board ves- sells are regarded as even airtight, yet they arose in thousands and made life horrible on board the ship. Five and six times day all hands were forced to change their clothing. When the vessel reached her pier yesterday, the sailors at once left, and nothing could ever induce any of them to again ship on 8 bone laden vessel.
 Captain Godfrey said yesterday that they sailed from Montevideo Aug. IT, and up to the 9th of September no yer min appeared. The day in question was very warm and the atmosphere was heavy and damp. About noon around the main hatch large green bugs were seen coming up from inside the comb ings, and toward evening the ships decks were alive. The next morning they found their way down into the forecastle and drove all the sailors out. The same night the after cabin was invaded. Since that time this unfortunate condition of affairs has existed, and the bugs were thrown overheard by the bucketful ev- cry day since. When the wind was blow ing fresh the air was full of the unwel- come visitors, and in calms they lay torpid on the decks. The bedclothing, tablecloths, and even wearing apparel became full of the insects, but fortunate ly none of the crew was bitten by any poisonous insect.
 Captain Godfrey says that the bones which he has on board were principally brought from the extreme upper regions of the river Plata in lighters. They were gathered from the plains, where they had probably been for ages. Many whole skeletons of horses, sheep and oxen are among the collection, all of which will be ground up at this port. While lying on the plains they no doubt be- came infested with these bugs, and the extreme heat of the vessels hold drove them up on the deck.-Philadelphia | Press.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

 New Occupation.

John ROdemeyer, Jr., Describes His
 New Occupation.
 Editor Of Ne,os
 Your generous "speed well' and flat tering and rosy y-hued prognostication in the NEWS of the 9th inst, while duly appreciated, are calculated to reflect more glory upon me than I deserve, in the inference that I have gone into the work of temperance evangelizstion, whereas l am associated with Temper ance Orator Murphy simply as his sec retary, and bear the same relation to the great temperance reform movement that your ''devil" does to the noble pro- fession of journalism, though I am in hearty sympathy with the cause. I have neither the intention, the aspira- tion, nor tfe qualifications to be- come a temperance worker in the sense suggested by the NEWS. the pres ent relation being purely business re- lation which is sweetened and made pleasant by the assurance of having the confidence and the warm personal friendship of one of the noblest of Ma ture's noblemen, whose love for, and faith in the great brotherhood of man are as broad and as deep as the ocean, and whose capacity for good works is shown in the fact that more than mil lion of people, on both hemispheres, have signed the plenge under his minis trations and he is not yet 35 years of age. In the four weeks campaign just closing in Waterbury, no less than 10.- 900 signers have been secured, an achievement that simply amazes the conservative element of this conserva- tive city. Within few months 80. 900 Murphy pledges have been signed in Connecticut, and to the Murphy infu- ence, more than any other cause, is to be attributed the fact that the No License vote at the recent town meet ings throughout the state, showed a gain of fifty per cent.
 Respectfully,
 JOHN RoDEMEYER, JR Waterbury, Ct., Nov. 10.

Bro. Fla of the Manchester Herald truly says: "Our patrons should bear in mind that if the times are hard and money is scarce with them, that the times are just as hard and money is just It is an unpleasant task to ask people for money due at this time, but it is a necessity. A subscription bill of $l 50 may seem a small matter and hardly worth the attention of a collector, but when these subscription bills approach thousand in number the aggregate is a very important sum. It is melancholy fact that no matter how hard the times are the newspaper cannot run on short time. Expenses keep right along on the same level even if receipts fall be- low the normal standard"

English Hatred of Gladstone.

The hatred of Gladstone is almost uni versal among the upper and upper mid dle classes in England. This hatred, too, finds expression in q violence Of language which Is seldom met with in any country except during period of revolution or civil war, and has long been banished from English social and political life. One hears him in the best circles treated as an old villain, for whom capital punishment would be too good, and frantic desire for his death is openly uttered. That "G. O. N" stands for Gods Only Mistake" is one of the grim jokes ot the Conservative clubs, and old ladiee will avow their willing ness to walk miles with peas in their shoes to see him hanged. Stories of his abandoned profigacy are of course not generally told in public, the subject be- ing delicate one, but they are very prominent part of the Gladstone legend. San Francisco Argonaut.

Joe, The "Broncho" steerer.

Joe Keith, who has logging camp up
the Wlshkah, was coming down the river
this morning on the steamer Josie, after
fruitless search up country for "spuds"
for the boys in camp. He saw seven
sacks OF fine looking potatoes in the bow
OF the boat; and, in the course of the voy-
age, learned that they belonged to ran
cher, who was bringing them to Aber-
deem to sell. Joe Immediately began to
dicker, but the rancher wanted ten dol
lars for the seven sacks. Joe offered sew
en- and half spot cash but the rancher
would only let down dollar and half.
Joe then swung round, and wanted to
know how many pounds of potatoes he
had there. "Not pound less than no."
said the rancher "Tell you what I'll
do" said Joe, eff you've got no pounds
OF potatoes there, I'll give you ten dollars
for them; if there is an ounce less, you
let me have them for six dollars" "I'll
hold you to that" said the rancher. AS
soon as the wharf was reached, four sacks
were dumped on the scales, and only
pulled down 412 pounds, and the pota-
toes went to Joe at six dollars; for the
three other sacks weighed only 335
pounds
Joe happened in at Emeiy's grocery a
few minutes afterwards, where his man
was disposing of some butter. AS soon
as Joe went out, the man wanted to
know who that was. When Emery told
him that was logger up the river, the
rancher said, 'Not much he amt; he's
one OF these here 'broncho' steerers what
travels up and down the river to beat
ranchers out of their potatoes
Joe swears the boys on the boat tried
to do him up by soaking the sacks.

The Beasey Children Concert

The musical entertainment, given by
the Beasey children last night in the M.
r. church, was something we'll worth
hearing. There can be no question as to
the ability of the four children, who
range in years from to IA. Those who
did not hear them last right, should not
miss the opportunity they will have to-
night.
The father of the children says they
were all born in San Francisco, and all
developed remarkable musical talent at
an early age, the youngest being able to
play many airs when she was only three
years old, and SO small that she had to
be placed on pedestal.
They 60 from here to Hoquiam tomor-
row.
