A New Model.

A new model for steamboat has
been designed by a French en-
gineer, described as four, or eight,
or ten wheeled cycle, whose wheels
are entirely hollow and alright and
keep the structure floating above
the water. These four or ten wheels
are located by pairs, and between
the starboard and the larboard set
horizontal platform is suspended,
upon which are built cabins, dining
room, engine. room, and so on, in
tended simply for passengers, there
being no hull in which to stow g.
cargo, while the wheels instead of
sliding across the water and cutting
it, as the common craft are wont
to do, roll upon it. An interesting
feature of this boat is said to be its
rudder, consisting as it does of
vertical hollow metallic tube which
dips into the water and is provided
with a lateral slit, through this slit
water being forced by means of
an engine at high pressure, and the
reaction of this water upon the sur
rounding medium propelling the
ship at the same time as it steers
it; for while common rudders act
by creating resistance and hinder
the speed of the vessel, the rudder
is said to create no resistance and
to the speed in fact,
while in port, where movements are
to be careful and slow, owing of
course to comparative lack of
space, the rudder alone is made to
work, moving and directing the
ship. The cylinder is in the nature
Of things movable, and turns around
It's axis vertically, so that the slit
may be placed as it should be-

an endeavor to have his punish

should be an object of the mercy of
the Chief Executive? It is not the

gloves, and We can see no good
reason why this case should be
made an exception. The man ought
to feel himself particularly FORUM

AFTER the experiences Of the last
New York Legislature, the Outlook
comes to the conclusion that the
next reform movement will strike
at corrupt Legislators and do away
with the political rings of which
the municipal manipulators are
little more than willing puppets.
At all events there seems little dis
position to let reform measures drop
with the house cleanings of the
cities.

some good points for the use of
Homing pigeons as a means of COM

If the discussion between the sup

either the heliograph or the pigeons,
the people anxiously waiting for
something to be done will be more
than satisfied. Competition is the

entirely upon steamer mails to fill
the requirements of local business.

MONROE DOCTRINE ELASTIC.

American" favors this Office
with copy of The Argonaut, call
ing particular attention to the
claim set forth by that journal that
the Monroe doctrine is not applica-
BILE in the complications between
England and Venezuela or Mica
ragua. Undoubtedly the words
used by President Monroe in his
message to Congress are open to
varied Interpretation, of which ex-
amples have recently been furn-
ished by the narrow attitude of the
Cleveland Administration and the
sweeping, broad-gauged expressions
of Senators Frye, Morgan and
numerous others of the same
stamp.
It is not the disposition of this
paper to act as sponsor for the
United States as to what it should
or should not do in determining
the exact cases in which strict
enforcement Of the Monroe princi-
pie is called for. It is a most elias
tic affair, and it's strength, so far
as European countries are con-
cerned, depends very much on the
opinion of the President of the
United States. Expressions that
have come from the American peo-
pie of today, however, indicate de-
sire for their Chief Executive to
interpret the principle in its
broadcast sense and make at
least an endeavor to estab-
lish strong, unquestioned
foreign policy. This opinion is not
but the casual student
of the signs of the times cannot
fail to appreciate that it is the con-
viction of a vast and ruling ma
jority.
The New York Tribune, in COM
menting upon Ambassador Eustis'
remarks at an American dinner in
London, says: "There are not a
few Americans who spend their
time abroad apologizing for their
Institutions, and they return with
q feeling of discomfort with home
life, and are out of touch with the
social and political tendencies of |
heir own country. Ambassador
Eustis is not an American of that
,ype." So it appears to be with
he Monroe doctrine. Not a few
ire attempting to apologize for it's
and, because they can
lot eradicate the principle from
he minds of the people, endeavor
O destroy it's force so far as pos
ible. The majority are not of that
ype, but, as Lowell has said, have
way of looking at things and
reating of them, which they derive
rom the soil that holds their
athers and waits for them. Recent
vents forebode an aggressive read
ng of the Monroe edict, tempered
nth self-restraint against acquiring
ew territory by any other methods
han purchase or treaty.

was the first American Minister
resident in Japan, serving from
1856 to 1862. Besides making the
first treaty granting foreign trade
and residence, Mr.. Harris kept the
United States flag flying over the
legation at Yeddo after the flag of
every other nation had been struck
and the ministers had removed to
Yokohama. His journals are said
to give a very correct picture of
"old" Japan.

Latin phrase meaning MAN

the attention that we attract

the latter class of individuals,
there are several branches, viz:
the Safe Breaker, the Train

At the present time the

essary to use such means as
will keep him at a respectable

nEATu OF PROFESSOR MINOR.


On the 29rh of July Professor John b.
Minor of the University Of Virginia died
in the S3rd year Of his age. The ycar 1873
rounded out just half century's work,
as the senior professor Of law, OF TINS
eminent 9aw teacher and writer at the
University of Virginia.
No man in the United States has made a
deeper and more enlightened and pro-
found impression on the minds Of this
country in jurisprudence than John b.
Minor. As lecturer and law teacher he
was without his peer. He viii rank with
Coke, Kent and Blackstone as 4 law
writer. Minors Institutes contain
more compact law than any book ever
written on the same subjects.
There are lawyers who have grown old
in the practice and who have reired, who
will remember in connection wiki every
recollection Of Professor Minor the cele-
brated Hypothetical farm that he called
"Black Acre" and it will remind them
that the clearest ideas they ever obtained
of all the intricacies Of title they learned
from Illustrations Of "Black Acre" dia-
grammed on his blackboard. Not only
was Professor Minor the best law teacher
in this country but he was a pure and
gentleman and his example
as such in the class room has left life
lasting impression on his students in every
State in this Union. He was man
Of high ideals, and, as Professor Thorn
ton, who delivered the commencement
grafton at the University in this city last
June a year ago, said Of him:
"The seeds of truth and purity and
fidelity and learning which this man has
planted are the seeds Of perennial growth
of plants that will rise into stately
majesty and blossom into fragrance and
leave their fruit Of manly living through
the long years that are to come" He also
declared him to be supreme in the class
room, wise in counsel, fearless IN danger,
generous and kind and gentle, alluring
men to the love of science by The gracious
radiance of his own serene nature"
This is not fulsOme eulogy hut the
truth spoken of q great and good man.

A husband ont West has sued his wife
for a divorce and alleges very novel
grounds. He has no objection to his wife,
in fact, she suits him very well, but he
can't abide with her mother, who, it
seems, has taken up her abode with him.
Mhe court had better enter decree
dvorcing the mother+in-law from bed and
board at the compliments home and
thereby reconcile husband and wife.
The general tirade against mOthersin-
law is Il very silly kind of wit, for there
are just as many sweet and good mother
in-laws as there are mothers, but some
times the mother-in-law with the best
intentions comes in between the husband
and the wife, as in the case noted, and
when THAT occurs the mOther-in-law ought
to see it and take herself away. This
is a rare thing, for many young wives are
deeply indebted to the good Offices OF
mdthhTs-in-law.

following advice is given:
do not let others kiss you indiscrim-

wiring your lips with carbolized rose
water and thoroughly drying them"
We do not believe in indiscriminate

another thing. What would young mans

then sat by her holding her hand until

indeed be a laggard in love, unworthy of

we would invite young ladies who antici-
pate loves first kiss to use carbOliZed rose
water.

INDIAN TROUBLES OVER.
They Are Returning to Their Reserva-

Market Lake Idaho, Aug. 4-When
General Coppinger heard of :he excite
ment among the settlers in Swan valley,
he ordered company 9, Eighth infantry,
Ito proceed there at once. This was be-
fore the official investigation disclosed the
fact that the Indians in that vicinity
were all peaceagly returning 70 their res
ervations. The company will probably
not remain long at Swan valley.
A special telegram from the Bannock
agency says that Indian Agent letter
wired General Coppinger from the reser-
walton, where he arrived last night, that
all the Indians who had been absent had
returned and that all is quiet. Agent
Teter also sent the following telegram to
the commissioner of Indian aff9irs at
Washington
All Indians absent from reservations
have returned. Had a big council and
requested me to telegraph you cher heart
felt good wishes. Had not harmed a
white man and would start to haying,
leaving their grievances to the Justice of

proportion of the population.
He says the Indians are by no means
blameless in the affair, as claimed by
| Agent Teter: that they do not respect
even the regulations of their treaty formed
% years ago, but trespass on private
property and even drive antelope right
into a rancher's door and kill them.
| Considerable stock, he says, has also been
| killed by their prOmiscuOus shooting.
General Sitter denied the assertions that
the settlers will resist arrest. He be-
lieves tn State will stand by them and
will welcome any legal test of questions
involved as to the rights of settlers and
Indians in the Jackson's Hole country.
He says the troops have a months ra-
