International Copyrlgh. in Italy.

II IS TO bc hoped that the international
copyright, which has Just been pro-
claimed as between Italy and the United
States, between President Harrison and
King Humbert, may not throw the plas.
ter cast industry on both sides the At.
iantic into economical spasms. But the
current year has developed, and that the
coming year promises still further to
develop, an almost alarming fecundity
among the sculptors of Italy in the way
OF sketches, molds and casts intended to
'disfgure and present" everything
which did or did not happen, as we'll as
everything which ought and which ought
not to have happened to the discoverer
of the New World.
Hardly three weeks ago, for example.
Signor Cesare Orsini (who bears name
cherished by Italian patriots) opened in
the Via Magic at Rome "a Columbian
exposition" of models in clay and plas-
ter, intended to represent all the possible
and impossible phases of the career Of
Columbus. No artist appears to have
dealt with Columbus in his cradle. or
with Columbus at the marriage altar,
but Signor Macaghani contributes an
alarming image of an angel whisking
OF to heaven the soul Of the dying navi-
gator, and Signor Guilianotti an aston
ished image of Columbus catching his
first glimpse of the New World. Nine
at least of these works of art are intend.
ed, as our Roman correspondent in
formed us, to decorate the Capitol at
Washington. 1t is to be hoped no time
will be lost by the artistic and aesthetic
members Of the senate and the house in
preparing TO receive this worshipful emi-
grafton with the whole force, if neces-
sary, OF marines and artillery at the dis
posal of the federal government

The Loss in Gold Coin.

A remarkable example of the loss Of
gold by reason Of abrasion came to the
notice OF the Chicago customs officials
the other day. George W. Sheldon &
20. sent $4,000 in gold to the collector
to pay duties. The sum was in equal
amounts, made up OF IS, $40 and SEQ
pieces. The teller found that the coin
footed up ali right taken at its face
value, and it was sent over to the SUBJ
treasury. Pretty soon word came back
to the collector that the $4,000 in gold
was 81 1886 short weight and the deficit
would have to be made up before a re-
ceipt would be issued. Examination
proved that the coin had been abraded

The brayest deed ever witnessed was per-
formed by Mexican some years ago at Du-
range. A inenagerie was exhibiting In the
town, and II large, fierce leopard escaped
from its cage and went bounding down the
principal street. A child about two years old
was playing on the curbstone and clapped its
hands with glee as the beautiful beast came
boundln,; toward it. Everybody was scurrying
for place of safety, when rather handsome
young Mexican came around the corner. The
child was midway between him and the ami
nal, and both advanced toward it, eyeing
each other. When a dozen feet distant the
leopard croucked Tor spring, but the Mexican
was too quick ;or 1t. He sprung forward.

his long kni,e and advanced on the leopard.

sLlNprNo A SHARK.
How a Diver Dodged a Shark ~
Means OF n Mud Bath.

A successful diver must possess
great courage and nerves of steel.
Such a man, connected withsa large
wrecking company, was visiting the
pearl fisheries in the Gull OF California.
On one OF his trips in quest OF the
pearl oyster he had a narrow escape
from fearful death.
He had been instructed never to
stir from the bottom until he had
looked up and around. Fortunately
he needed the advice. Having filed
his bag. He glanced quickly about
and caught sight OF n huge shovel
nosed shark watching HIM.
In mn emergency men think fast.
Near the diver was a large rock he
moved quickly to the other side OF it.
hoping to dodge the eferocious monster.
But the maneuvre did not work; the
shark watched every moment, chang
ing his position by a slight motion Of
mis- powerful tail.
Time was precious, and the diser
conceived the idea of binding the
shark by stirring up the mud. Under
cover OF that he might escape. He
worked for dear life, and had she
water thick with mud in less than
half minute.
Slipping around the rock again, he
rose to the surface, having, barely
strength enough to reach the side oi
the boat, and was hauled on board
lust as the voracious man-eater made
a rush for him-From Frank Leslie's

Quaint species OF Crow.

In his subsection on "modifications'' OF
types of birds aud animals Sir John Lubbock
cites what is newest and most marvellous. He
tells us OF particular crow In New Zealand
where the male and female differ widely as TO
the structure Of their bills. The male bird
has a bill stout and strong, adapted to cutting
and digging Into the tree, but he Is deficient
in that horny pointed tongue which would
permit him 10 pierce the grub and draw 1t
out. The hen bird has. however an elongated
and straight bill, "and when the cock has
dug down 10 the burrow the hen inserts her
long bill and draws out the grub, which they
divide between them-a very pretty llustra-
ton OF the wife being helpmate to the hus-

Jordan and New York Bankers Confer on
the situation.
New YORK, April 22.-Naturally enough,
gold to Europe, and the uncertainty as to
treasury policy, Wall street to-day con-
cerned itself almost entirely with various
runors in regard to the attitude of New
York banks toward the governments. The
sum of 100000 in gold was paid into the
sub-treasury in New York to-day, and
Withdrawals were $1,000. 600. 1t was re-
ported from Washington lats in the day
that Secretary Carlisle received tenders Of
81. .0O0. O0O gold, thus lifting the treasury
reserve once more above the $780, OO0. 900
mark. The secretary refused to announce
the names of the banks which tsndsrsd the
gold.
The most important event of the day WAS
a long conference between the bank presi-
dents and Assistant Treasurer Conrad N.
Jordan. At the meeting the financial situ-
alton was thoroughly discussed. and it was
decided that the parity of gold and silver
must be maintained. and the government
must meet its obligations in gold at any
cost. II WAS practically decided among the
bankers that they would not advance more
gold to the treasury without an invitation,
and even then not large amount without
q bond issue.
Secl etary Carlisle recently received an
offer to deposit gold in the sub-treasury at
San Francisco, which he accepted. The
gold was turned in and payment for it to
the correspondent in New York authorized
by telegraph. The correspondent nppeare
at the sub-treasury here and received
Rreenbacks. which he returned the next
day and demanded gold for them. Thus
the transfer of gold was made from San
Francisco to New York with the saving of
freight and five days interest. and the pat
riotic offer of gold WAS converted into a
transaction for profit.

American Citizens Thrown in without

Ell PAso, Texas. April GA story of ont.
rage by Mexican authorities has Just been
brought to light by tho release from prison
of IL. h. Scanland. much respected mill
tary officer. lilo was confined In prison at
Juarez for thirty-two days on charge
which the supreme court OF the state of
Chihuahua twice decided utterly baseless.
The real prosecutor OF the caso against
scanland appears TO have been Ignacio
Gonzales, a judge OF the first minor court.
Nicholas Yohio, lawyer and part owner of
the Florence mine. in tho Sabinal district,
had scanland arrested on the charge of
stealing fourteen tons of ore from the
mine. The ore had been bought by Scnn-
land from w. A. Clark. who was superin-
tendent for Yunjo during the latter's alb
sence. Clark WAS heeced by card shnrpers
and fled from Mexico. Yunio decided to
oct even by arresting Scanland. Gonzales,
a friend of Yunjo. hold Scanland, although
the lattet's lawyer had taken the case to
the supreme court where it was twice dis
missed. During scanland's imprisonment
he WAS approached by supposed agent OF
Yunjo who offered to get him free for $40,
COO. This was refused and the prisoner
laid in Jail until Gonzales was forced to re-
Lease him. w. A. Daily, a prominent oti-
zen of El Paso, Was held in jail also for
some time by Gonzales as n witness, and ID
much exercised over the affair.
