At Darlington recently minister's little
daughter was attending her first church
service. She had never seen her father in
the pulpit before, and, on his entrance there,
her presence of mind forsook her, and she
piped out, in a voice expressive of Tecogni-
ton:
WY, there papa up there In that box!"
Avenging propriety swept down upon the
little maiden, and for a season there was
a great calm, but the service was grievous-
ly long to such a wee worshiper. and she
became very restless, walking up and down
the pew and signing audibly.
TT won't be long, dear" mamma whis-
pered. Whereupon ensued another brief
period OF quiet, but it was not to last.
Tired baby nature had reached its utmost
limit Of endurance. and, by and by, over
the quiet listeners arose little voice clear
and plausible and coaxing:
isn't you nearly done, papa?'

LONDON. De2shi5er 1o.-A dispatch to
the Times from easacas, Venezuela, dated
December l, sayaf3)
THE British ultinlatum has been deliv-
cred here, but the ministers are reticent as
to it's contents There are no signs of any
anti-English feeling sd1ere. The authorities
assert that the Sevolntion has been COM
pletely crushed, andsShat there are only a
few scattered insurgents in outlying dis
tricts.'
The Times al5S pabiishes letter from
Caracas, which saysAhat the Venezuelans
are themselves hopeless of preventing tie
judgment going zsgainst them on the ques-
ton of the frontier outrage upon the Brit
ish Guiana polfcemeh, and the delay in
making reparation. the correspondent adds.
probably arises from the shakiness of Pres
ident Crespo's authority and his fear of
mourning unpopularity. : b,
The Paris correspondent of the Times
quotes an article from the Journal des De-
bats, commenting upon the Venezuelan dis
pute. which says:
I'm spite of its immense Industrial power
tary and naval forces, which, after ALL are
at the bottom of every diplomatic discus
sion which is carried rather far"
The Times publishes an editorial, COM
ileHliilS UPON Tue iCieSUillS SUBJECT, WHICH
contends that theMonroe doctrine cannot be
applied either to the boundary line dispute
or to Great Britains demand for repara-
ton on account of outrage upon the off,

TT is. no more possible" says the Times,
Ito submit the territory within the Schom-
burg line to arbitration than it would be
for the United States to submit to arbitra-
ton should Spain set up claim to a part
of Florida. The remarks of the Journal
deg DebatS are not conceived in a friendly
or delicate spirit. but they have an ele-
ment of truth, which sensible Americans
Cannot ignore. 1t Is easy to see that if
this controversy is not skillfully handled
state Of things might arise among the
ill-governed Central and South American
republics which would involve the United
States in large expenditure for the army
and navy that are now happily unneces-
sary."
The Chronicle remarks it is an unusual
cot rtesy that copy of Lord Salsburys
dispatch to Washington has been handed
to the United States ambassador, Mr.. Bay
ard.

Special Attorney.

The Northeast Washington Citizens AS
ISOLATION has applied to the Commissioners
for the appointment of a special attorney
to prosecute in the courts the cases
brought against the railroad by the asso-
citation. 1t is believed that the Commits
sioners will refuse the application on the
ground that it's attorneys are fully capable
of looking after such cases.
