silver In Peru.
From the New York Tribune (Rep).

Silver has been minted In Peru for nearly
an enormous flood OF that metal being,
indeed, with Mexico its principal source
during the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries; but the mint has just been clos

that country. though the Institution has
not been run even on half time for long
period. It's output gradually dwindled
away ill its continuance was no longer
of any practical use, and 50 II puts up It's
shutters and goes out Of business. leaving
a proud record behind II. At the same
time gold discoveries are reported IN that
country perhaps 90 pour out wealth like

An Arcadian In Gotham,

Congratulations to the Hon. Owen Hug
gins Deshong of Arcadia, De Soto county,
Florida, are in order. He went to New
York the other day. and while there sold
the smart Gothamites a gold brick, figur-
atively speaking. The Hon. Mr.. Deshong
is the sheriff Of his county. He captured
a H. prisoner from New York state in Ar
cadia and took him back to the Empire
state authorities, who are to pay him for
his services, the expenses of the trip and
a reward of $50. Arriving in New York
city. Sheriff Deshong attracted the atten-
ton of the newspaper reporters and some
smart young men about the district attor-
ney's office by his appearance and CONVEX
sation. He wore a little bunch of whisk-
ers on his chin, several revolvers and
probably other arms, and he talked with
cracker twang to his tongue. which was
delightful to the Gothamites. His face
was tanned of the sun, and his department
was redolent of the woods; so thought the
smart young men, and they picked him up
as good thing with which to have a
little fun. They impersonated various no
tables and celebrities before him-the
mayor the governor. the sheriff, ETC.
took him out to see the sights, and wined
him and dined him in great shape; all for
the purpose of laughing at him.
The Floridian took it ali in. He went
with his entertainers wherever they wish
ed to take him. made unsophisticated re-
marks, made believe that he accepted the
notables presented to him at face value.
drank the champagne and ate the dinner
as though he enjoyed them-which he prob
ably did-and otherwise conduced to the
gaiety of the crowd. When the last act
Of the farce was about over the sheriff
dropped his dialect and his unsophisticated
manner. and informed "the boys that he
was very well aware that they were after
a little fun, and that he had no objections
i'm the world to helping them along with
1t; that, as a matter Of fact. he was en-
joying It as much as they were. And
then he gave them a bright little three.
minute speech which made his company
cheer with enthusiasm where they had
before been cheering in jest. Thus the
joke was turned on the New Workers. The
sheriff had a royal time and made numer-
Gus friends; and, best Of ali, the blowout
from beginning TO end did not cost him a
cent! The jokers had to foot the bills.

deputies today adopted the motion for
the conversion Of the Madagascar loan
of 1886 and then discussed the issue of
80, 900. 900 francs, 3 per cent, redeemable
in sixty years. NJ. D0umer moved that
the loan be limited TO the 100000 francs
necessary for the redemption of the ex-
listing loan. and pointed out that the fl
nancial resources of the island could not
be relied upon, as Madagascar was not
yet pacified.
NJ DeBon, the minister of colonies,
protested against this assertion, and NJ.
Doumer continued, approving of the
Punishment of the queen of Madagascar
to the Island of Reunion. but urged that
this step proved that Madagascar was
in state of rebellion Finally NJ. Doum-
or demanded that the bill be returned TO
the committee.
NJ. Dsmyer De Villers, the famous
deputy from Cochin-China. who had a
great deal 10 do with bringing about the
annexation Of Madagascar. where ne
formerly held the position of French
resident general, suggested a loan of
10000. 900 francs now and 10000. 600 later.
