sigh. and sounds to w,ndw.rd.

The president has shot bear.
The trick was turned at last by his
going after the animal and not sit
ting in = osnbrske to await its ar
rival. What exssperates the public
mind, and lsshss into fury the patri-
otto impulses of . proud people, is
that evidence socumulstes of his
having been stationed to windward Of
the pack. We have touched upon
this matter before now, but we re-
turn to it because no state sovereign
ty is high enough to forbid feder-
81 protest in suoh case. The bear
which escaped at sunset on Wsdnss-
day did so only because, though fol-
lowed by the dogs in full cry, beat
ing in toward where the hopes Of
this nation were centered, 1t swervsd
suddenly, and "with q snort heard
far and near" nearly doubled on its
trail in getting away in an opposite
direction.
What else but the fact shat the
president was to windward can ex-
plain this, particularly the snortf II
the snort can be accounted for in
any way at all, the only possible
way is that bruin smelled the prssi-
dent. Snorting is not the habit OF
bears. While positive personal
Identification can not be supposed,
what was identified by the brute's
keen sense of smell was the presence
to windwsrd of mighty hunter be-
fore the Lord, who exudss the odor
Of his many Victories - a sweet
SAVIOUR. The animal would have
risksd . tenderfoot, and charged
straight ahead rather than have
taken the risk Of doubling. The
men who put the president to wind
ward didn't know that the wind,
which bloweth where it listeth, besrr
news Of him to every thing for
which he is out cunning.

culed by one Federalist as too trivial
for so much waste Of time and the
amendment had been seriously urged
in speeches ornate with references to
Roman history the question was diyid-
ed, and the house voted, 20 to %, that
the name and effigy of the president
should not appear upon the coins. 1t
was then voted, AZ to Q, that the en-
blematic figure of Liberty should be
substituted for the design proposed by
the senate. Two days later the bill as
amended passed by a vote Of 80 to %.
On the very same day the senate re-
turned the bill to the house, with notice
Of dissent from the amendment. The
house was not pleased at this prompt
action Of the senate. As the sessions OF
the latter body were secret in those
days and very briefly reported in the
published official Annals of Congress"
the nature of the debate in the senate
is unknown.
There was more discussion in the
house this time, with further denuncia-
tons of all signs and symbols Of roy

well to have for the house Of repre-.
sentatiyes some such rule as that of
the British house of commons forbid
ding the mention OF the soverelgn's
name in debate, and Mr.. Page said he
would rather cut or his right arm than
sign the mint bill without the house

The house adhered to its amendment
by vote of "a to 80, and next day,

FRENCH DUKE IN GOTHAM.
Reported His Engagement to Miss
Shonts. Who Denied It.

+. NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Due de
Chaulnes ct de Picauigny. whose own
announcement in Paris Of his engage
ment to Miss Theodosia Shonts. daugh-
ter of Theodore P. Shonts, several months
ago was followed by a prompt denial
by the Shonts family, arrived in New
York yesterday on the French liner La
Savoie. With him came the Baron dagger.
Whether the duke has come here to lay
siege to the heart of Miss Shonts could not
be learned. He was not inclined to discuss
his affairs. He comes over, he said, to see
something of the country, and may remain
for two months on this side Of the Atlantic.
Mrs. Shonts and her daughters have spent
much time in Paris, where they are as pop
ular in society as they arc here and in
Washington. While abroad they were en-
tertafned by the family of the duke, and
the young people Were seen much together.
For this reason, 1t was learned. the coming
of the French nobleman IS no surprise to
Mr.. and Mrs. Shonts, for they heard some
months ago from the dukes family that he
contemplated visiting this country. At the
same time 1t is declared by those in a posi-
ton to know that the visit of the duke is in
no sense the result of an invitation from
any members of the Shonts family.
In spite of the denial of an engagement,
the coming of the duke at this time will
awaken interest in society, and there will
be much speculation TO what the result
of his visit to America Will be. That he
will see Miss Shonts and her parents is GER
tain from the fact that the members of the
two families are fast frfenos. How he will
improve his opportunities win be a matter
for speculation in society and furnish a
topic of conversation for many days to
come.
Mr. Shonts would not be seen yesterday
but both he and Mrs. Shonts have said that
when their daughters marry they preferred
that they should wed young Americans
even though these were not the possessors
of titles and chateaus.
The duke and the Baron dagger remain ed
only short time on the French Line pier
after the arrival of the La Savoie. They
were driven to the Hoffman House, where
from their windows they could watch New
York trying to recover from the snowstorm
The duke denied himself to interviewers
He sent back cards with the information
that he had retired. TO i request for a
line as to what he expected to do and see
IN this country the same answer came
back.
