PRESIDENT GRANT.

During the entire period of Grants ad- minstration was chairman of the com mittee on finance of the Senate" says MT Sherman," " and had to act on all ques- tions of taxation, debt, banking or f. nance. and had occasion to talk with the President on such measures, but he rarely expressed an opinion or took interest Tn them" General Grant was soldier rather than a financier; and being of a rather taciturn disposition anyhow knew enough not to talk much about & subject he didn't know much about. He knew, too, that it was not necessary for him to be profound on this particular subject The president of the United States who undertakes to run everything in person is usually the most conspicu- ous failure"
 This opinion of President Grant may occur to Senator Sherman as being cor rect, but the people at large are inclined to believe that the man who packed the supreme court with new judges pledged to overrule the legal tender decision and to decide that the greenbacks are legal tender in peace as we'll as in war. knew more about finance and currency than he is given credit for. By fastening the greenbacks upon the country he did what sherman is now attempting to undo. If Mr sherman was Grants adviser in that matter he has since then studied up on the subject and shows himself, from ms present attitude, to have been a very had advisor.

RARBARITY.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal, pup lished so near the scene of the awful tor ture of the negro rapist, speaks out in chara racteristically vigorous language in denunciation of such barbaric deeds. It calls attention, in we'll chosen words, to the influence the enactment of such orgies of savagery must have upon the people of that section. It says:
 He may deserve the damnation of hell But after all he is the least sufferer. The people who become familarlzed with such scenes; who become hardened to the barbaric spectacle of infuriated men dancing like savage Indians about helpless wretch writhing and screaming in mortal agony are the real victims. It is impossible that these things should occur without brutalizing men and com munities, without cultivating taste for blood and barbaric ferocity among wit nesses and participants. These horri- ble scenes are breeding savages. They are quenching all that is gentle and hu- mane in the hearts of men. It Is no an sWer to dweel upon the awfulness of the crime that provokes such terrible ven- geance This may be urged in palliation of the deed, but the effect on the commit nity is none the less degrading in the last degree"

THINGS DRAMATIC.

"sinbad," the nautical spectacle which was presented in Chicago during the Worlds fair by the American EXtrava- ganza company, will be given in revived form at O'Brfens opera house tonight.
 The version of this fayorite Arabian Nights story used by this company fol- lows with fair degree of accuracy the original tale In so far as pertains to the main incidents of the oriental adventur- CTS experiences. It shows the port of Balsora, from which he sailed, the can- nibal island where he met the interest ing pigmies. the shipwreck and the fa- nous Valley of Diamonds. The story as told in the play is as follows:
 Sinbad Is poor apprentice boy in the town of Balsora, a city on the Red Sea. He is in love with Ninetta, the belle of the place. She has hard-hearted father, who sells her to pirate named Snarle- yow At the end of the first act the pi- rate abducts the girl and carries her away on his ship, the Roc. cheating her father out of the promised payment. Sinbad and a number of his friends stow themselves away on the ship in order to protect her. Other interesting characters in the play, among them an impecunious count, an idle apprentice named Fresco, and an eccentric old lady, follow them. The whole party are wrecked on desert island. The idle apprentice becomes a cannibal king and Sinbad steals the Key to the Valley of Diamonds from the old man of the sea. After rescung Ninetta several times from the clutches of the villanous pirate Snbad finally secures untold wealth and weds his inamorata. All the wicked people in the play are pun ished and Cupid smiles on the joy of the long persecuted lovers.
 There will be several attractive danc- ing advertisements in the extravaganza, including a tarantella by flower girls and fisher boys, a sailors horn pipe and a grand fantastlQue in which the cory phees will represent icicles, snow drops sleighers, skaters, tobogganers and other accompaniments of winter. The ballet will have a grand bacchanalian finale The piece will also have an immense pa- geant of nations costumed in the richest possible manner from original designs The march will include representations of Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Rus- sia Ireland, Scotland, England and America.
 Clarence Rogerson has composed and selected much new music for the piece Among the vocal numbers will be the following: And the Band Played On,' ''Some Dance the Lancers," Pretty Lit tie Maidens Who" The Bogie Man. 'I'm Busted Swell' and Merry, Merry Milkmaids."
 All the scenery has been designed and painted by Frederick Dangerfield. The principal sets will include the port or Balsora at day break, the deck of the Roc, with a wonderful panoramic effect, the depth of the ocean, the cannibal is- land. the frozen Valley of Diamonds, with an immense glacier made of glass and representing a solid stream of ice, and Sinbad's ivory palace.
 The costumes, 1t is promised, will be revelations They are all from designs by Howell Russell of London, and were made by Charles Alias, the London cos tuner and by the Chicago Opera House Wardrobe department under the dlrec- tion of Madame Barclay.

DEATH OF A WHOLE SPECIES. The Tile Fish Is Missing Since Millions Died
 in 1882.

Prof William b. Libbey of Princeton read at the recent geographical congress in London a paper on '"The Relations of the Gulf Streams and the Labrador Cur rent" It was received with close atten- tion. The London Times summarizes one part of the professors essay as follows:
 This subject is of especial concern because of it's bearing upon the migra- tions of schools of fish In 1880 and 1881 a recently discovered fish, known as the tile fish, had been found in considerable numbers from Cape May to Nantucket, and preparations were made to take 1t upon a commercial scale for the New York and Boston markets. But in the spring of 1882 the water became covered with countless millions of this fish in dead or dying condition, and from that time the tile fish disappeared from this area entirely. Its disappearance became a sort of biological puzzle. The puzzle however, was stayed by the application of certain theories which Professor Lib bey had arrived at in regard to the cur-- rents in those regions
 Tt was noticed that from 1889 to 1891 the current of the gulf stream had changed it's profile considerably at Block Island and off Nantucket island, and had progressed toward the shore. This sug gested the idea that the tile. fish might have followed it once more, and in July of 1892 Professor I.ibbey and the fishery commissioner went out in the schooner Grampus to the area in question and found that the fish were really there, They were found all the way. from the south of Martha's Vineyard to the Della ware capes. The explanation of their disappearance was now comparatively simple.
 "If it was supposed that this area had been flooded by warm water previous to that date it was easy to see that when the warm band receded the first break in it's continuity would occur in that ex- treme part of the land lying between Cape May and Nantucket. The fish over this portion of the bottom would. in the event of the withdrawal of the warm water of sufficient degree of coolness to benumb them and start them on their way to the surface.
 After they had reached a point in the water which marked the limit of their ad- justment to it's pressure they were bound to go the rest of the way to the surface, where they arrived in an abnormal con- diton, as their bodies were all puffed up, and in most instances their stomachs protruded from their mouths as a result of the diminution of pressure. It was an extremely interesting fact that the dead bodies of these fish came to the surface in a long crescent like curve, which fol- lowed the line of the edge of the conti- mental platform between Cape May and Nantucket.
 "The temperature studies of this area might, therefore, be said to have made an interesting contribution to the study of environment"

A CURRENCY PLAN.

The currency plan proposed by Gov ernor Merriam before the bankers asso- citation at their recent Atlanta meeting is receiving very wide notice. It is some what similar to that outlined by Secre- tary Carlisle in his annual report last year. and some such plan will doubtless be agreed upon before long. The plan provides for the organization of national banks, as at present. by national examin- CTS from the office of the comptroller of the currency. These banks are to be en- powered to issue national bank notes, furnished by the national government, equal to the full amount of their paid up stock. Forty per cent of this circulation is to be secured by the deposit of green backs or treasury notes with the United States treasurer. On the remaining 60 per cent the issuing bank is to pay tax of per cent per annum. Every bank is to be required to deposit with the treas urer of the limit Aa s'---- nA~ cont nf

THE SENATE.

The Posts, Concord fN. H) correspond ent writes. an interview with Senator Chandler on-the7 organization of the sen ate. He makes the positive statement that the republicans will elect the presi- dent pro tenn of that body. will name the committees and elect all the subordinate officers No deal will be made with the populsts and nothing will be conceded to the democrats. He intmates that Frye will be the successor of Harris as esi dent pro tenn. Jones, Stewart, Peffer and Butler, the senator says, will voluntarily vote with the republicans in the organi- zation, giving them five majority. "There has been some republican sentiment" MT. Chandler says. evidently alluding to Senator Sherman's recent interview, that it is undesirable for the party, while Cleveland is president, to have a nominal republican control of the senate given by votes of the populists; but this is a mere sentiment. Republicans must accept the responsibility of power when it comes to them and as it comes to them"
 It would be a strange combination that between populists and republicans. The committees would go to the repub- lcans, who are hostile to every doctrine taught by the Populists; but politics make strange bed fellows.

The Montgomery Advertisers gossip per has found a friend of Captain Bank head who says:
 Tt is well understood among Captain Bankheads friends in this city that he does not care to be candidate for Gov ernor. He wants to continue in Congress and knows what he is a candidate for. If he can represent the Sixth District In Congress he will be satisfied. and will promise not to get in anybody else's way for any other office. I know that he has never had any. other idea, and does not want to be Governor
 His positive statement in the last sen- tence is pretty strong, but somehow there are people who cannot but believe that the Captain had some such end in view when he proposed the junket over the State with Congressman Clarke.- Huntsville Mercury.
 Captain Bankhead simply wanted to try MT. Clarke'ss wind. The "Blue-eyed boy of Destiny" gave out on the first heat. and as will be noticed elsewhere

MIR. EUSTIS.

An effort has been made to damage our Amba ssador to France in the matter of the colored Consul, who is now in a French prison. When the steamship Amsterdam was docked Wednesday morning Mrs. Waller. wife of the ex- United States Consul to Madagascar. was among the first to be helped over the gang plank. She was accompanied by her three daughters and her young son. She,was met at the pier in Hoboken by her adviser, 1I. G. Woodford an American engineer, who made the ac- quaintance of the Walters in Madagas- car and crossed the river in a tug, after which she went at once to the Clarendon hotel at 115 West TWentyseventh street. When seen there by reporter she said that she could add but little to the re- ports already made public Of her hus- bands confinement in the prison at Mar seilles.
 "There Is one thing I would like to say. however" Mrs. Waller said. "Ambassa- dor Eustis has been harshly criticised for not aiding us as much as he might have done. There is no truth in that re- port. MT. Eustis did everything in his power for us. He is even now treating my husband with the utmost considera- tion, and he has exerted every possible influence for his family's assistance and benefit. He sends my husband books, money, tobacco and everything that is permitted to be sent to prison. I don't believe my husband will live year in prison. He was i'll for many months be- fore his arrest. on March 25 last. He caught a fever at Tamatave, and it left him in a greatly enfeebled condition. He has only an hour of exercise each day The absurd charge was made that my husband received concession of 22b square miles of land in the southwest part of the island as a price of aid rem dered to the Malagasy. As a matter of fact, the deed of gift was given months before the alleged reasonable acts. I have forwarded to Secretary Olney com plete documentary proof of MT. Walters innocence.

INTELLECTUAL FUN,

Yankee Doodle and Dixie" seem to be a unique creation, a kind of dramatiZa- tion of patriotism. It is said to be great not only in idea and imagery, but it is cloud bust of amusing things. People of all conditions throng it. It is a rich intellectual feast to the brainy men and an ineffable delight to the less thought full
 The Chattanooga Times says: "There were people in the opera house who have never darkened its threshold since Sam Jones was there"
 The Constitution says: "A large num- Der of prominent people were out to hear the famous brothers, many of them peo- pie who seldom go to the theater, and never except to events of rare and excep- tional interest"
 The Knoxville Tribune says: "They were greeted with wild applause by the greatest audience of the season, compos- ed as It was of the literary people of the city"
 The Times-Recorder says: Never has more enthusiastic audience been seen in Americus."
 The Times said of Bob: "In speech, in gesture, in attitude, in manner in sto- ry, individuality and brilliancy, he can not be excelled on the rostrum or stage today"
 Memphis Commercial: "In word paint ing, in wit and humor, in pathos, in droll- cry, in eloquence, in quaint but true philosophy. and in real elevation of sen- timent, 1t was masterpiece"
 Are you tired, weary with thinking and working, ennuied with monotony. then go hear this mosaic of exuberant vagaries." !" 1t is a tonic to electrify and revivify-it will wake you up to glad life again.
