Sagast
NEW York, Oct. 2.-General Julio
Sanguilly, who was arrested in Cuba,
tried, convicted, pardoned and released
at the request of the United States gov
ernment, said in discussing the Spanish
crisis: II do not believe the formation
by Sagasta Of Liberal cabinet will
have any effect OH the Cuban insur-
gents. The efforts Of the previous ad.
ministrations have come to be looked
upon III Spain as the wrong policy and
the feeling now is for any honorable
method or means to cad the war Sa.
gasta really believes that with liberal
provisions autonomy would he accepta.
BILE to the Cubans. He is very much
mistaken. The Cubans have gone too
far to accept autonomy. They are in
better condition now to fight to the end
for absolute freedom than ever before. "

Sheets Of Bank Notes.

A bank cashier in the west writes to
us to say that bank notes are always
supplied to the national banks by the
treasury department in sheets Of four,
not IL.
Our friend confers further service
by telling little story. All tho bank
notes on sheet bear the same number
and are distinguished from one another
by being lettered. The note at the top
is "a" and the others are "B, 90"
and I'D" in order.
"An amusing incident, writes our
correspondent, occurred some years
ago when | was acting teller in this
bank. We had just issued some fresh,
crisp bills, and one day gentleman
rushed il all out of breath to inquire If
three bills that he had in his hand were
good. When assured that they were, he
said that he distrusted them because
they, were SO new and because, when he
laid them down, the little letters on
the face Of the bills read B A d, as he
showed by arranging them in that way,
and he supposed they must be bad. -

Some years ago certain county Jail

Owing to the alterations, the lot were

While awaiting their change Of quar-

Crokcr's Eloquent Proxy.

There is one place in this country
where they think Richard Croker is
great orator. 1t is in Utah.
II never made speech in my life,
said Mr.. Croker, "except by proxy. At
the Democratic national convention Of
1888, held i'll St. Louis, there were con.
testing delegations from Utah. One Of
these delegations was for Cleveland and
the other against him. Naturally our
sympathies were with the latter. When
the Utah fellows asked some Of our men
to have Croker present at the meeting
Of the committee on credentials to make
q speech in their favor, our fellows
promised, thinking to play joke on me.
But sent another man to speak for me.
He was introduced as Croker, and as he
was not known at all then every one
was fooled. The speech he made them
was rattler, and it carried everything
before it like storm. To this day out
in Utah they think am great orator. "

you?'

A. t. the Price of . DOG

There was q dog show in q southern
town several years ago, and q New
York man carried lot Of settlers and
pointers down to compete. The dogs
were the best on exhibition, and the
New Yorker provided pedigree for
each of them as long as his arm. He
knew how to handle them, and they
took most of the prizes.
Two Of the local sportsmen took fam
cy to one of the dogs, and in the end
paid large price for it-about $500, it
was thought by their friends-but they
would never tell what the sum was.
The pointer was sent from place to
place in the hope that it would take
prizes, as the New Yorker had repre-
sented it to be one of the finest animals
in the country, but it never came in
for SO much as "highly commended. y
Within a few months it died without
leaving SO much as a puppy to mourn
at its grave in the turnip patch.
Nobody could find out what had been
paid for the dog. Some months after
ward cne Of the purchasers was at Mag
ara with friend who had been waiting
for chance to get the information.
Each had taken many cocktails, and
finding the roar Of the river burden
they wandered away from it and sat
down on q log. The friend thought his
time had come. He put his arm atfec-
tionately on the others shoulder and
steadied him.
"Say, Frank, old man. he said,
"what did you and Eustace give for
that dog anyhow ' 10"

mination.

Too Much For the Dog.

A historian of the town Of Athol,
Mass, writing in The Transcript Of
that town, tells of an old citizen, Dex-
ter Lee by name, who possessed the
power of controlling even of intimidat-
ing, animals. Mr.. Lee was one OF the
most sunny and good humored of men,
III whose presence even a quarrel was
well nigh impossible. Yet he was alb
solutely fearless of either man or beast,
and no animal dared to approach him
with hostile intent.
One day peddler arrived in Athol
with valuable stock Of silk in his
wagon. A little crowd gathered about
it, among whom was Dexter Lee AS
the peddler moved about the place,
from one store to another, without
locking up his silk, Lee remarked to
him:
II should think you would be afraid
of being robl,ed with SO costly load. -
''No fear of that" said the peddler,
laughing. II have guard in there who
will protect the stock against anything -
He pointed to large bulldog of fero-
cious aspect who lay inside the wagon
and who growled threateningly at the
crowd.
"Nonsense!' said Lee. "He wouldn't
stand up against a man.
"Wouldn't he? You'd better not go
near him.
4 can scare him out of tie wagon.
"If you can, will give you every
yard of silk there is in il"
Lice said no more, but stepped back
little and drew his under lip between
his teeth, which caused his wiry chin
whisker to project into the air in an
extraordinary and alarming manner.
Them he fixed his eyes sharply on tho
dog and slowly approached the animal.
). The bulldog watched him for mo-
ment as if fascinated, but presently,
when Lee made little dive at him,
the dog made leap out Of the wagon,
and with a series OF terrified howls
bounded across the street and crouched
there with his tail between his legs.
Nor could his master induce him to
come to him until the terrible man had
gono to q distance.

The Winding Up Of an Englishman.

It was shrewd observation Of one of
the keenest critics Of the Anglo-Saxon
mind that ever lived, Cardinal New
man, that it takes ali immense time to
wind up an Englishman to the level Of
a dogma-that is to say, to get him to
understand what a dogma is, what it
involves, what it necessarily asserts
and what it unavoidably denies. Often
when, after great toll. with pulleys and
hoists, encouragements in front and
goads behind, the Englishman's bullet
head slowly appears almost OH the level
Of the ground, something goes wrong
somewhere, and down he falls to the
very bottom of the pit, and the work
of winding him up has to be begun all
over again. n.-''The Law Of Employers,

Toning Solutions.

The formulas for toning solutions are
almost without number, but the toning
process which gives the best results for
aristo papers-the papers most COM
monty used-is the one in which the
toning and fixing are done separately.
A favorite bath is made as follows:
Make stock solution Of 10 grains Of
chloride gold and sodium (price, 40
cents) and ~ ounces water and satu.
rated solution Of bicarbonate of soda.
A saturated solution is liquid which
contains q little more Of the substance
placed in it than it can dissolve and is
shown by deposit at the bottom Of the
bottle or vessel in which it is placed.
Mark the bottle containing the gold
"Gold Solution" and the bottle con-
tanning the soda "Bicarbonate Of Soda
Solution" To make the toning bath
take one-half ounce of the gold solution
and add 31S ounces Of water. Dip a
piece Of blue litnus paper into the solu-
ton, and if it does not turn the paper
red add a little more Of the gold. Then
put in enough Of the bicarbonate Of soda
solution to turn the litmus paper back
to blue. The soda should be added few
drops at a time and the mixture stirred
with glass rod. Mix the bath half an
hour before needed for use. Place the
prints in this bath, and tone till nearly
the desired color. Rinse and place for
five minutes in fixing bath composed
Of an ounce Of hyposulphite Of soda and
ounces of water. Wash in running
water for half all hour.-Harpcr's s
