cause Of the North during the war. This
was the ancieut C0ledOnidn Mercury, then
under the editorship of Roby. A second
North journal was the Leeds Mercury. and
third was published in Liverpool. The
press of Great Britain was in the vast
majority of instances hostile, and they all
had the satisfaction of finding themselves
on the wrong side eventually. John
Bright and Golden were popular leaders
then, but their following had no votes for
the most part, and Parliament was in the
hands of Palmerstonian Wings and the
Tories under Derby. 1t required courage
in those days to speak out on the true
issues OF the American question. Lincoln
personally acknowledged the services of
the Cdledonidl Mercury.

ACCIDENT OR DESIGN.
An Unknown Carpenter Asphyxiated
by Gas.

A case of suicide or accidental death by
gas asphyxiation was reported to the Coro-
ner yesterday morning. J. Lavrecq, who
keeps lodging-hOuse at III Olive avenue,
detected strong smell of gas coming from
the room of one of his dodgers about 8
o'clock. The door was unlocked. aud on
pushing it open he found tie man dead In
bed and the gas turned on full.
The man was a carpenter by trade, and
up tn month ago was employed in the
vicinity OF Golden Gate Park. Strange to
say, although he had been staying In the
house for about five months, no one knew
his name or anything about him. He was
man about medium size, about 55 years
OF age, and had a bead aud muStache
slightly tinged with gray.
Nothing was found in his room or in his
clothes that would lead to his iden tifica-

CLUNiE MUST WAIT.
Judge Levy Defers His Motion i'm Re
Pacific Bank.

Andrew j. Clunie appeared before judge
Levy yesterday to argue, on behalf of P.
F. Dundon, a depositor. his motion to have
Sheriff McDade ousted from his position
as receiver of the Pacific Bank. ATTORNEYS
Dunno a2d McPike appeared on the other
side.
Before any proceedings were taken a
copy of the writ of prohibition issued by
The Supreme Court the day before was
presented to the Judge for his perusal AS
soon as he had read the clause in which the
Supreme Court decided that pending the
hearing of the matter on September no
further proceedings should be taken in the
order OF adjud cation, Judge Levy decided
that he could not hear Clunie's motion
until the Supreme Court had PASSED upon
the order uf adjudication.
This decision, )wever. did not satisfy
Clunie, who desired his Honor to take the
matter up so that, should he decide to set
aside tho order. there would be no need
for any proceedings before the Supreme
Court.
Both Dune and McPike opposed the
hearing of the motion. and McPike sug-
gested that the Judge sh ould deny Clunie's
motion, and so give him a chance to take
it before the Supreme Court Anyway.
he did not see what Clunie was doing
there at ALL as there was nothing to show
that his client, Dundon. was a creditor of
the bank.
Judge Levy, however. decided that he
could not deny motion he had never
heard, and he certainly did not intend to
hear it. This provoked a remark from
Clunie to Dunno TO the effect that Judge
Levy did not do business that way"
So Clunie's motion, although not denied
was continued for hearing until the Su.
preme Court has passed upon the order O,
adjudication and the appointment of Sheriff
McDade as receiver.

HOW AN OYSTER GROWS.
Each Overlapping Layer of Shell Means a
Year of Age.


The oyster at the commencement of
it's career is so small that two million
would only occupy a square inch. In
six months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover halfa crown, and
in twelve months crown piece. The
oyster is its own architect, and the shell
grows as the fish inside grows being
never too small.
1t also bears its age upon its back,
and it is as easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its shell as it is
that of horses by looking at their teeth.
Everyone who has handled an oyster
shell must have noticed the successive
layers overlapping each other.
These are technically termed shots,
and each one marks years growth, so
that by counting them the age of The
oyster can be determined.
Up to the time of its maturity-that
is, when four years of age-the shots
are regular and successive, but after
that time they become irregular and
are piled one upon another, so that the
she'll becomes bulky and thickened
Fossil oysters have been seen of
which each shell was nine inches thick,
whence they may be guessed to be more
than nine hundred years old.
One to two million oysters are pro-
duced from a single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted for by the fact
that man is not the only oyster-eating
| animal.
The starfsh loves the oyster and
preys upon it increasingly. A variety
of whelk is also very fond of young
oysters, to get at which it bores right
through the shell and sucks the fish up
through the hole thus made. -Boston
