the Royalsts have began to claim the
japanese and Chinese iaburers, who,
they say, are openly with them in the
existing contest OF the former the
organ states that they have
not changed their front from Royalty
and OF the latter that they know their
own business SO well that they are
against annexation as a matter OF self
interest and protection.
1t is an accepted maxim Of the
hybrid psper that lie well stuck to Is
as good as the truth, and this is an
instance IN point Far trom having

towards these Islands has never changed
a hairs breadth from its original pur
pose to obtain the Hawaiian group for
the MikadU's empire With the am
bilious japanese the desire to get
control themselves is uppermost, and
but for the foreign policy of the United
States they would have succeeded long
before this. 1t Is absurd beyond the
ordinary point reached by the halt

these with the scattered Adullamltes

A nForelgn nsrlI. I'm china.

News from Ichang, China, tells of the
narrsw escape of F. G. LEM, a bcycist
who is trying to ride his wheel across
China and India. Near Shashi he struck
gang of laborers who raised the cry,
"Kill the foreign devil" and attacked him,
beat him, and stuck their bars through the
spokes of his wheel. LEM freed himself,
but was attacked by another gang of labor
ers whe came near splitting open his skull.
lie finally reached some better dressed
Chinese who protected him for a moment.
Though in deadly peril, LEM began to
amuse the crowd with tricks on his wheel,
and soon won them over so they allowed
him to proceed unmolested. But for his
nerve and GOODNESS he would have been
killed, as the superstitious Chinese really
took him for a devil as he flew along on his
wheel. At Ichang the blacksmith on the
British gunboat Esk repaired his bicycle.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The mississippi Way.

There was still another development in
the southern way of doing things at Brook
haven, Miss, last week. The cases of
ten White Caps, in jail for shooting a ne
gro and burning his cabin, were to come
up for trial in the court at that place, and
the court had just opened, when mob of
100 men rode into town and surrounded
court house and Jail. They were all armed
with shOtguns and muskets, and swOre
they would release every prisoner. For an
hour they held the Jail, threatening the
life of Judge Chrisman and all officers who
dared to oppose them. They would let no
one leave the place, and it was some time
before the citizens of the town knew of
the disturbance. The citizens finally went
to the rescue, and the judge, knowing
that assistance was coming, secured pis-
tol and led the charge against the mob,
who were driven out into the suburbs.
The governor sent the adjutant general to
the scene with 40 Winchester rifles and
2000 cartridges.
News coming later that the White Caps
of all the county were arming for an at
tack Gov. Stone sent two militia companies
to the scene and also went there in person.

At the aquarium in Berlin there is a big
gorilla whose habits are about as correct as
those of most of his distant relatives. He
gets up at in the morning, takes bath,
and uses soap without hesitation. When
his toilet is completed he takes cup of milk,
after which he eats two loaves of bread,
with Frankfort sausages and smoked Ham
burg beef, all of which he moistens with a
glass of weiss beer. At p. NJ. he takes
a bowl of soup, with rice and potatoes, and
a wing of chicken. He uses his knife and
fork and his napkin like one of our own
four hundred; but when he thinks his
keepers are not observing him he discards
the impediments of civilization and plunges
his muzzle into the bowl, as if to give evil
dence of the melancholy fact that even a
gorilla can be hOg.-NeW York Sun.

Murdered by a CHILEAN Mob.

A letter from Chilli received at San Fran
cisco tells of the killing of Frank Matthew
son, an American railroad surveyor, and
his companion, by a mob of CHILEAN half
breeds. Matthewson and another Ameri-
can named James Jerome were employed
to survey a railroad into the interior. The
natives showed much hostility when it was
learned that they were Americans, and the
men were warned their lives were in danger.
They started back for Conception, and
were ambushed on the road by natives,
who attacked them with knives and killed
Matthewson. Next day the cabin which
had been occupied by the Americans was
broken into by band of natives who stole
everything. This information comes in a
letter from Jerome, who says a full state
ment of the casehas been forwarded to the
state department at Washington.

in port he discovered that one of the Brit

Some Facts sbou, Tsrrnnin.

The terrapin is the smallest of the salt
water turtles and the most delicate. 1t
measures, when fully grown, seven inches
across the under shell and is about 10 or /
inches long Its habitat is along the east
ern coast of North America. OF the sew
eral varieties Of terrapin, that known as
diamond back, - from the resemblance in
shape of the scales of its upper shell to a
lozenge or diamond, is the best favored
and most famous. This variety is found
along the shores of Long Island sound, in
the Delaware bay and the creeks that flow
into it, in the Chesapeake bay and its trib-
utaries, and perhaps in the sounds of the
Carolinas. Epicures are divided in opin-
ion as to the culinary value of terrapin
from these different localities, but, whatev-
er the truth may be, the terrapin of the
Chesapeake bay are the most widely knswn
and highly esteemed.
They live in summer in shallow salt OF
brackish water, choosing place where the
bottom and banks of the stream or inlet
are soft and the currents slow, but where a
sand bank is accessible, upon which they
may crawl to sun themselves and where
the females may deposit their eggs. They
love to lie in the hot sun on such banks
and on partly submerged logs, from which,

When the weather begins to get hot the fe-
males crawl upon the sand banks in the
night time, scratch holes in the sand
and deposit their eggs, sometimes to the
number of 20 or more. which are left to be

quently captured.
As soon as the young terrapin emerge
from the egg shell, at which time they are
about the size of a silver quarter of dol
lar, they make for the water and proceed
to take care of themselves There is no
reason to believe that the parent female
takes any notice of the young. On the ap-
proach of cold weather the terrapin retire
to deep water or bury themselves in the
mud, where they remain until the next
summer. At one time they were very
abundant in all the waters of the Chesa-
peake bay, but of late years the demand
has far exceeded the supply, and the price
has risen from 50 dozen in 1860 to IA or
10 times as much in 1892.

The wife of Chauncey NJ. Depew died at
her home in New York Sunday. Her
death was caused by the after effects OF
the grip and was unexpected until a few
hours before it occurred. Mrs. Depew
was in remarkable degree the helpmate
and contidant of her husband, and their
home was most happy and marked by the
sympathy of congenial minds. She was a
thorough New Yorker and a woman of
rare good sense, thoroughly refined, and
intelligent to an unusual degree. She had
great pride in her husbands successes and
made his home very charming place.
Mrs. Depew was descended from one of
the oldest New York families.

The Morgantown Lot Sale.

Special CorrssDondsncs OF the REGISTER.
MoRGANTowN, w. VA, June co.
The sale of lots which took place in
Morgantown on the 2Sth and Goth,
was grand success in every par
ticular. Seldom has such an immense
crowd been seen in Morgantown. They
came from Pittsburg, Allegheny, Home
stead, McKeesport and the whole Mon
ongahela valley and throughout West
Virginia. The Morgantown Building
and Investment Company several
months ago bought one hundred and
fifty acres of land on the MonOngahela
river, adjoining the State University
campus, and laid the same off in lots
and offered free sits to all and
any manufacturing companies; later,
after the Fairmont, MorgantOwn
and Pittsburg railroad extension was a
sure thing, the Com panY resolved to
auction off a few lots, and handbills
stating the fact were distributed in this
State and Pennsylvania, but the swarm
OF people that took the town by storm
during the two days sale was not ex-
pected by the Company, which is COM
posed OF progressive citizens, and not Of
transient boomers and lot sellers, as is
the case In many towns. Over 200 peo-
pie came from Pittsburg on the steamer
Elizabeth aud remained in town during
the sale. The Isaac NJ. Monroe also
brought up two excursion parties In ad-
dition to those who came on the three
regular packets that ply between Nor
gantown and Pittsburg.
hanH ~ TTnfnDtnUn
furnished music for the occasion and
gave an open air concert on the Acad-
envy campus, which was brilliantly illu-
minated by hundreds of electric lights
arranged in an artistic manner among
the trees. The band was also on the
ground during the lot sales, which
amounted to $40, 900. W. o. Beken-
baugh, OF Baltimore, who auctloned off
the lots, said that he considered Nor
gautown the best town In the State,
aud the sale of lots the best that he had
made during his years of experience as a
land auctioneer. The T., NJ. & Z. Z. Z.
passes through the company's addition
and the main street is obout one mile
long, and furnishes one OF the most
beautiful drives imaginable. Within an
hour after many Of the sales the pur-
chaser sold bis lot for from $50 TO $500
more than he paid for it. The majority
of the 1872 lots sold were bid in by par
ties from PlttSburg and adjacent cities.
There is no doubt in the minds of bust
ness men and capitalists but that Nor
gantown is bound to go to the front as a
business and manufacturing centse in
the Monongahela valley, as well as be-
ing the most beautiful place In the State
TO reside.
The weather during the sale could
not have been more pleasant and the
charming location of the town together
with the unbo1nded hospitality ex-
tended to the visitors could not but
have a good effect The sale, in the
meter OF dollars and cents, lays Fair
mont. Buekhannon and all other West
Virginia towns in the shade, and Il is
