PURCHASE OF ALASKA.
Made Upon Recommendation of
 Pref. Wm. P. Blake.

The San Francisco Examiner of Ii 6 26th inst. has the following to ssy with regard to Prof. William B. bl ,ke, Director Of the School of Min,s for Arizona, at Tucson:
 "We have been favored iy Pol. ". P. Blake with copy Of the Geograph- ical Notes upon Russian Anericl ard the Stickeen river, bs;ag a report et- dressed 10 the Hon. H. Sewaij, S,c,s- tary of State, ani published ty ;he government. The pamphlet is yirtu- ally diary oi his ascen; of the Stick cen, in company with several officers of the Russian corvette, and discovery Of many glaciers and headlauds, to which ths names given them by Prof.. Blake are still retained. IL is curious to note hew truly the prophecies and opinions of Prof. Blake in regard to the gold possibilities Of Alasks have been verified. He gives lhe length of the S,ickeen at 375 mil -s, which in its character seems to be similar to the Yukon and navigable under the same conditions Gs to depth and sand bars. It was these notes, constituting q re- po-t. tha. may be said 10 have decided Secretary Seward tc make the pur- chase.

 While every one in Arizona knew of Pref. Blak6's attainment, ss a scien- fife mau, few of our citizens are aware ot his connec,i0n with the pur- chase of Alsska, and it will be Q mat ter oi pride 10 the people Of Arizona to learn that one of her eminent scholars is entitled to the high honor which the Examiner comedies is due 10 P.ot.

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1897-04-03

An ex-Confederate soldier OF South
Carolina tells this story to Il writer i'll
the Detroit Journal: Il had 4 friend
who was chaplain in our allny-a
good man, as such men should be. Sev-
eral of his own church members Were in
the same regiment. He kept sharp eye
on US, and tried to train Us in the way
we should 60. And, when we We're
rather short for raJions, some OF the
boys brought in a fine young porker.
Now, boys, that's wrong, said he. II
is simply stealing. You ought not to
do it.
Well, our conscienccs don't trouble
u.s. and yours won't trouble you when
we get this meat cooked. Youwill want
some OF it too.
mo, won't eat it. I'd as soon eat
stolen meat.
But we divided it up among the
boys and proceeded to cook a ham in the
best possible style The smellofit fairly
made our teeth water, and when it was
cooked we We're more than ready for 1t.
Z" There's fine piece. Cut that off
for the chaplain, said one.
NO, thank you, said he. / said
I wouldn't eat it, and l won't, but

of the gravy. -

The subject of tuberculons meat is
one of the greatest Importance to the
community ut large i'll view of the fact,
which has been scientifically demon
stratcd, that it is possible for that dis
ease TO be propagated by the consump-
ton of meat so tainted.
Various projects have from time to
time been suggested for the treatment
of meat TO make it harmless to the COM
munity at large The safest plan is of
course, the destruction OF such diseased
meat.
4 famous German scientist has, how
ever, proposed that tuberculous meat
should be divided into at least two
classes, and only that deeply impreg-
mated with the gems Of disease should
be condemned absolutely and irrevoca-
bly, TO cremation by the sanitary author
itics. Now, however, 4 proposal has
been made, based on more accurate OBJ
servation that the diseased meat should
not be thrown away ut all, but should
be pottod.
This operation is to be performed at a
very high temperature and under steam
pressure which would have the effect
of completely killing these hardy germs.
In this way much meat which would be
wasted can be rendered fit for human
food, and it may be taken with impu-
nitv. Sentiment will 10 doubt declare
against the use of diseased meat i'll spite
of the assurance Of encc.-Pearson's
Weekly.

What Drowning Missed.

4 curious example of the literary
criticisms Of half a century ago is re-
counted III an article on Robert Brown
ing in The Temple Magazine. Brown
ing's "Bells and Pomegranates" had
Just been published, and John Stuart
Mill expressed his admiration of the
poems and of the originality of the les
sons they contained, and he wrote to the
editor of Tait's Magazine, then one OF
the leading literary journals, asking if
he might review them i'll the forthcom-
ing number. The editor wrote back to
say that he should always esteem it an
honor and an advantage to receive a re-
view from the pen of Mr. j. S. Mill,
but unfortunately he could not insert a
review of Bells and Pomegranates, Us
it had been reviewed III the last number.
Mr.. Browning had the curiosity to
look at the last number of the magazine
and there read the so called review. 1t
was as follows: Bells and Pome-
granates, by Robert Browning: Bladder
dash. - HIt depended, you see, said
Mr.. Browning, Ion what locked like
the merest accident, whether the work
of new or as yet almost unknown
writer should receive IL eulogistic re-
view from the pen of the first literary
and philosophic critic of his day-a re-
view which would have rendered him
most powerful help exactly at the time
when it was most necded-or whether
he should receive only one illsolent cpl
thet from some nameless nobody"

jury decided that this SOFT of thing was
Il trifc too much to ask amy man to sub
NIT to, and helped, rather more than
anything else, to influence the jury to
give to the man the separation he asked
for. Yet the defendant calmly asserted
that there was not Il purchase made i'll
that list but was absolutely essential to

two vegetables they must be considered

sumption would, therefore. not be per-

decpened into tradition. The dcXterity

his hat
1t is really astonishing what an i'm
portant feature the hat plays III the de-
alterations OF our Legislators. Asno pri-
waite member can claim by right any
particular seat il the house, except Ill
few cases where members are tacitly al
lowed 10 appropriate certain points OF
vantage, Il hat has to be deposited be-
forehand as IN animation that the seat
IS secured On ordinary nights seat
can be retained 10y 4 card being inserted
in the slip provided at the back OF each
seat for that purpose, but when a de
bate of more than usual interest Is en-
pected the hat is the medium employed.
