Sealing Vessels Arrive.
.am VorE Topnar1

New York, January 26.-Ar-
rivals 'of square rugged vessels
in the port of New York for sew
eral months past have been few
and far apart. The recent east
erly winds and favorable weather
however, have fastened the ar
rival of a number of overdue
sailing vessels, no fewer than. a
dozen having arrived within the
last twenty-four hours. Among
them were the American ship
Willie Resented, of Battle,
Maine, and the British ship AL
lerton. of Liverpool. Both yes
sells had an exciting long-dis-
lance race for this port.
They loaded full cargoes of nj
trate of soda at Caleta Buena, on
the West coast of South Ameri>
ca. The Allerton sailed October
4 and the Rosenfeld on October
%, or nineteen days after rival.
The Rosenfeld dropped anchor
in Quarantine shortly after mid
night this morning and the ALI
lerton at noon. just twelve hours
later. The Rosenfeld thus beat
the British ship by a trife over
eighteen days on the voyage.

Cuban FiIibusters.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Acting
Secretary Wike has instructed
collectors of customs to look out
tor the steamer j. W. Hawkins,
alleged to have left New York
Friday on a flibustering expedis
ton to Cuba. Senior De Lone,
the Spanish Minister, says Ca
lixto Garcia is aboard the Haw~
kins with arms and ammunition
and men and that the steamer
will take on more men and stores
at Palm Beach, Fla, and that
she will pass into the United
States waters, near Key West;
that the arms coLfiscated at Ce-
dar Keys, Fla, are in readiness
to be put aboard the Hawkins,
and the famous steamer Commo-
dore, at Wilmington. N. c.,
forms part of the conspiracy.
Orders have been sent to the
revenue cutters Morrill,, Me-
Lane. and Colfax to proceed to
sea and if possible to Intercept
the Hawkins, provided the alli-
cations of Spanish Ministers are
found to be correct.
Little doubt is entertained that
it is to intercept if possible, this
expedition that cruisers Raleigh
and Montgomery have been or
dered to sea.

The FIyIng Suuadron's Use

St. Louis. Jan. 26.-"The fit
ting of the flying squadron was
merely to show Europe that
England was prepared to defend
her corner against the nations.
I do not think that any one in
Great Britain ever thought the
squadron was placed in action,
to be used against the United
States."
This was the statement made
by Sir Wheelman Pearson, M.
P, from Colchester, Essex
county. England, here to day.
Sir Wheelman. who has con-
tracts with the Mexican Gov
eminent for the construction of
the harbor at Vera Cruz, is en-
route to that city accompanied
by Lady Pearson.
"When we first heard of your
Monroe doctrine declaration" he
said, I'VE thought you had gone
crazy. You gave US a terrible
shock for a few days, for we
thought from the amount of jim
goism aroused that this country
would become so unruly grave
complications would follow.
There is no doubt that England
recognizes the Monroe doctrine
in it's broad sense, and is willing
to abide by it on all occasions ex-
cept this one. This disputed
territory has been claimed by
Great Britain for years, and
has been ruled by it. A large
number of the inhabitants of the
place consider themselves Brit
ish subjects, and the dispute is
merely over the boundary. Surely
not a sufficient excuse for war.
"Since this trouble has arisen,
there is a growing sentiment in
England in favor of a perma~
nent international commission,
to which all disputes could be re-
ferred at their inception, and
they would be settled without
having the countries stirred up
over them. The time will come
when such a board will be found
necessary, and I hope to see
this agreement speedily arrived

way, and which SO entertained

And now it is claimed that
only the tall, slim, ugly girls can
ride the bicycle ordinarily made
for women and have their per-
sonal pulchritude EXCHANGED. It
is alleged that there is too much
motion about riding a bicycle for
the really beautiful and we'll
formed woman. In support Of
this position it is said that the
worlds most famous sculptors
and artists have always repre-
scented their beautiful women in
perfect repose, and have always
given a certain masculinity to
women in action. as, for ms
stance. in the famous subject of
the huntress, Diana. If this
opinion gains general credence
among the fair sex we may look
for a rapid decrease in the de-
mand for women's bicycles, and
a market glutted with second.
hand wheels.
It appears that both the cotton
and wooden mills of Fall River
are abundantly satisfied with the
new tariff if the earnings and
dividends of the past year afford
any Indication Of it's workings.
In fact, the Fall River factories
have had the most prosperous
period in their history. The an
nual statement Of dividends paid
during 1895 shows a percentageI
of more than 8 per cent. on over
$21, 900, 900 of capital, these divi-
dends aggregating 81, 721, 425. It
is urgent that it wooden manu-
featuring pays so we'll in New

capital are looking for a division

dividing the new industries. This
would mean wooden as we'll as
cotton manufacturing in the
States. In this re-
spect Georgia takes the lead, as
in some Of the large cities Of

SOCIETY. A CORRUPTION.
The Professional Society Woman a Para

site Upon the Worlds HeartsGrowth.
Mrs. A. D. T. Whitney, in
discussing society with her girl
friends. in December Ladies'
Home Journal, has this singing
charge to make against modern
Society, as it is spelled with a
capital S: "Society, as a pur-
suit, an end, is a thing without a
soul. The Eome-spirit, from
the sharing of which between
home and home it grew, has de~
parted out of it. It is dead. 1t
is a corruption. A professional
society woman isa parasite upon
the worlds heart-growth; help
ing, as a microbe of disease, to
eat it's vitality. There is a ter
rible reaction in the influence of
what we make society to be with
out its true heart and centre.
It is to blame for the many
confused problems Of our time;
it is responsible for the frantic

down. Conventionalities, false
effort and restriction crowd in
upon and choke our most beau
tiful and sacred realities. True
homes become more and more
scarce. Society women abandon
them; they make of them mere
arrival aud departure stations in
the rush of whirling round.
Women who cannot or will not
maintain the modern artificial
conditions, are discouraged and
repealed from any home-making
at all. They are forced, through
the very need of their natures,
to outside work and interest for
fellowship; and SO there is a great
deal attempted, from strong de-
sire for the best, that is yet, in
its turn, untrue, one-sided; add
ing afresh arrangement to our
perplexed systems and theories

litical economies
