SHERMANs letter on the seal ques-
tion has stirred up our English cousins
and the British journalists have in
dulged in flow of ''jingoism.'' The
Utica, N. Y, Herald takes the follow
ing view of the situation: Europe
ascribes a bellicose disposition to the
United States because, conscious of its
own right purposes and the justice of
it's cause, it drops the language of cir
cumlocution in the seal-preservation
matter and calls a spade spade. Pub
lie opinion in England has foamed up
a great deal over the directness of Mr..
Sherman's letter to Mr.. Hay. But we
have not read anywhere an impeach.

A GEORGIA judge recently ordered
the negroes from the court room tell

The judge showed such an Ignorance

move him from the bench and force
him to spend several years in tn study
of his law books before he again en-
tered his practice. Slavery has been a

THERE is nothing so very slow about

A CONSULATE in Peru is alleged to

troubles which eliminated in the at

The adoption of the Dingley tariff
law has created a better feeling al.

poraries takes the following roseate
view: ''There is every reason and
every precedent in favor of that ulti-
mate national health which means the
whirling of thousands of silent wheels
in thousands of shops, the employment
of thousands OF idle hands in the realm
of production, the restoration of work
and wages. Protection made these
happy conditions; Democracy abolished
them; it is reasonable to believe that
protection again will restore them.'

Penguins.

The penguins are strictly marine
birds living in the water or upon rocks
that jut out above them. The wings
of penguins have no feathers, but are
covered with a scaly skin. OF course
they are useless as organs of flight, but
give effective aid in progressing
through the water, and when the birds
are on land are often available as fore
limbs. There are many species, which
inhabit chiefly high southern ATTITUDES.
Cunningham, in his book on the
Straits of Magellan, thus refers to these
birds as he saw them in that region:
"On climbing to the summit of one of
the high banks, we beheld a company
of penguins, which, after standing erect
and staring at us in a stupid manner
for a few moments, shuffled off; their
little wings hanging limp at their sides
and their dark gray and white color
ing and reeling movements suggesting
a drunk and disorderly funeral process

don the erect position, and crouching
down on all fours, if l may be permit

bits at a very rapid rate, using their
wings as fore legs, till they gain their
