The plan of blowing up the ice gorge
at the Cincinnati railroad bridge by
dynamite was temporarily abandoned
Saturday as dangerous. A sudden rush
of ice was feared. Negotiations are be-
ing made to have the ice split up by
tow boats. Reports from the lower
river regions indicate that much damage
has been done in the last twenty-foul
hours. A coal train containing 200 tons
arrived yesterday. 1t will be sold to the
poor today. The bankers and insurance
men met, and about $4,000 was sub
scribed for the poor.

In Mr.. Ladd's will he gave the sum of

In the selection of the benefciaries, the

The Torrey bankrupt bill, which is a
good measure and one badly needed,
may become a law at this session of
congress. 1t is in the interest of honest
insolvents, and business men all over
the country welcome its adoption. 1t
will make more secure the property
rights of the whole people and release
hundreds of thousands of earnest, honest
men from the hopeless bondage of debt.
1t will bring about uniform bankrupt
laws and lessen commercial failures. It
has strong support, being much simpler
and more direct than the present laws on
bankruptcy.

A pretty mess is brewing between the
S. P. r. and the traffic association.
Commissioner Blanchard has issued a
circular announcing the action of the
central traffic association lines in the
matter of rates on tran sentimental
traffic. The action is point blank re-
fusal to participate in the rates proposed
by the S. P. R. on certain commodities
from California to the east, and the S.
P. R. is notified that the lines in the
central traffic and trunk line associa-
tions will continue to demand on the
commodities named their full proper

On starting from Iowa in 1846 for
Oregon, Henderson Lewelling planted
some hickory nuts in box, and they
sprouted while on the way, and were
transplauted to corner of what is now
block fifteen, in Milwaukee. There the
pioneer hickory tree stood until last
September, when it was felled to clear
the way for the electric railway line
from Portland to Oregon city. A mallet

to the state horticultural society by

Our Fate,

The housekeepers department at the
Fair cOntaiLed an appetizing assort-
ment Of preserves, jellies, canned fruit,
pickles, cakes, snowy bread and golden
butter. Viewing these good things
we realized that the way to our heart
was via the throat, and our inner
man" developed a yearning ambition
for an appointment on the tasting com
mittee. The preserves and jellies
were not for us, however-our cake
was all dough when we discovered that
we had been shelved to act a. Judge
of RELICS. To affiliate with fossils and
prehistoric specimens, when We pined

nalist who has ceased to celebrate

From the land Of the Mikado, The
PROGRESS drew inspiration for
.Japenese booth at the Fair Our
colors were planted in the central por-
tion of Exposition Hall, and the snowy
na,ms and ferns grouped about the
fountain formed foreground OF de-
licious greenery. The booth was draped
in glowing red-the rich autumnal tint
and two gables iutting jauntily In front
added an architectural quaintness to
to the design of the place. Japenese
fans were arranged in panels and dados
ON the walls of the booth, fans held the
drapery of the window, like big bright
bued butterflies, rows of Japenese IAN
terms we're airily strung about and IAN
tastic Japenese parasols surmounted
the gables. -.

several handsome llags,--one bearing

The Caddo Rifles.

The Caddo Rifles gave spirited ex
hibition drill at the Fair Tuesday after
noon. The drill was to have been COM
petitive, but the reputed valor Of the
company cleared the field of rivals-in-
arms. The company presented dash
ing appearance in new uniforms, con-
sisting of dark blue coats, light blue
trousers and tan leggings, and were ad-
mirably commanded by Capt. Parisher.
Twenty minutes were allotted to the
drill. and while the time was too short

even In twenty minutes, the Rifles COW
cred themselves with glory and dust.
Under the fire of bright eyes from the
grand stand, trace of stage fright was
evinced by the company, but Lieutenant

Origin of the Peach.

Nothing is now more universally ac-
cepted than the fact that the peach is an
improved variety of the almond. The
almond has thin shell around the
stone, which pitts open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become fleshy in the peach,
80 that 1t is all that gives it its specific
character. 1t seems now clear from in
vestigation in the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
1000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least so
far as it relates to many Of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 5000 or 5000
or perhaps 10000 years back as it is to-
day.
Phenicians, many thousands Of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
were in garden culture many years ago.

The Man In the Iron Mask.

A letter to Louvois by Louis XIV,
written in cipher, has been long in the
archives of the ministry Of war and has
at length been deciphered. In it tho
king orders Louvois to arrest General
de Burlonde for having raised the siege
of Cont without permission, to send
him to Pignerol and to conceal his
features under a loup, or black velvet
mask. The order was executed, and the
presumption is therefore violent that the
"Man In the Iron Mask"-it was black
velvet one with iron springs-was Cen
eral de Burlonde. The story tallies with
the known fact that the prisoner made
repeated attempts to communicate his
name to soldiers; that he was treated
with respect by his military jailers, and
that Louis XIV, who knew the truth of
the whole affair, declared it to be mat
ter of no importance. The difficulty is
to discover the kings motive for such q
precaution, but he may have feared dis
content among his great officers or the
soldiery. 1t must, however, be possible
to discover from the lists in the war
