The republican state senators of New
York are reported to be seriously con
sidering the proposition of one of their
number of resigning in a body. Tiic
member in question claims that Lieu
tenant Governor Shechan informed him
at the opening of the session of the leg
islature -that there was no need of re
publican senators coining back after ad
journment. If- the plan prevails the
senators will resign in a body the mom
ent one of their numbers is unseated.
They will refuse to stand for re-election
and will issue a manifesto declaring that
they have been deprived of their rights
and that resignation is. all that is left.
It is u bold step and will require-very
strong cause for its jusification.
Chilian affairs have now come to such
a pass that war can - only be cvided by
the failure of congress to declaro it or by
such action on the part of the Chilian gov
ernment as shall make war unnecessary.
The president and Lis advisers have set
tled down to the conviction that Chili
will not offer such terms of settlement
as the United States can accept. It is
believed that Chilr. will do one of two
things propose arbitration of the diffi
culty or submit an expression of regret,
coldly and loftily worded. It is believed'
that neither of these expressioas will
avail ' eo far as the president is con
cerned. Mr. Martin of Indiana has introduced
a joint resolution in the house the title
of whicb reads as follows : ''Looking to
the adjustment of international desputes
without resort to war." The object of
the resolution is to provide some just
international agreement for the creation
of a tribunal wherein desputes between
nations may be honorably - adjusted,
without the arbitrament of war-
General Coon ef Kan Diego, a veteran
of the civil war bas telegraphed Presi
dent Harrison, asking permission to
raise a brigade of troops for Chili. The
barbarous treatment of American sea
men in Valparaiso has aroused the
patriotism of the old 6oldiers and an or
der lo enlist would cause thousands of
veterans to offer their services.
The death of the Duke of Clarence has
caused wide-spread and profound sorrow
throughout England and all the British
dependencies. This is not eo much on
the late duke'e account as out of sym
pathy for his much-loved mother, the
Princess of Wales, and above all for the
lady who was to be his bride in less
than a short month.

E. Clarke has emigrated to Washington
state with a nice little bundle of boodle.
He" was-in the livery stable business
nere, and did a large business, but re
cently the pro6ts were not sufficient to
suit. him. He got credit everywhere!
and when people began to dun, he
mortgaged every stick, strap, horse and
vehicle in. lun poseesston. Then he sold
several of the mortgaged horses, next
the good, will of his business for $1000,
and wound up by hitching a fine team
to a $1000 Gurney, also mortgaged, and
drove away to . Whatcom, where it is
said he sold the outfit for a handsome
amount. Clarke's creditors and the
people who had mortgages on his prop
erty, are wild with despair.

A Scientist Says Several Good Words in
, Favor of the Weed.
From AVI The Year Around: '
It has long been a popular opinion that
tobacco is an antiseptic, and the belief
seems to have gome solid basis . of fac
Professor Vineeszo Tassinari, of- the
Hygienic Institute of the University
of Pisa, recently made some very inter
esting experiments on the supposed
germicidal virtues of tobacco smoke,
which seems to show that it really bad a
destructive action upon 'the growth .of
bacilli, those minute organisms which
are said to be the cause of a vast num
ber of bodily ills' that flesh is heir to.'
Professor Tassinari observed the action of
the fuuies upon seven different kinds of
bacteria the so-called cholera bacillus,
the cattle distemper bacillus, the pus
coccus, the Finkler-Prior, bacterium, the
typhus and pleuropneumonia bacillus
and the bine pus bacillus;
Wishing to imitate us closely as
possible the process going on in a smok
er's mouth the professor passed tobacco
fumes through a horrizontal tube into a
receptacle kept moist by damp cotton
wool, which contained also a colony of
baccilli. The result showed that the
smoke retarded the growth of others.
The tobacco experimented with was
that which is used in making the large
Cavour cigar, much favored in Italy,
aud it was proved that its fumes retard
the growth of pus bacilli by seventy
two hours, and of cattle distemper bacilli
by one hundred hours, while they abso
lutely arrest the growth of the so-called
cholera and typhus bacilli. If Professor
Tassinari's results may be relied upon
it is evident that not only is tobacco not
the deadly enemy of man and it is
singular with what eagerness man takes
to so many of bis deadly .enemies but
in many instances it is his great friend,
not only by way of solace, but as a
warder oft and destroyer of deadly germs
that insist on colonizing his body and
turning it to their own uses.
Her Equal in Hank.
Mot long ago two young girls were
traveling "out west," says a writer in
the New York World. As the train
stopped at a station two ladies entered
and took scats directly in front of them.
Just as they were seated a stout lady
came forward, greeted them effusivelv.
and the trio kept up a lively conversa
tion until the train started. Then one
of them said: "Sit down here near us,"
and in a little lower tone : "Tell those
girls to sit somewheie else." So the
stout one turned round and said in the
most freezing of tones : '
"I wish to converse with my friends
and would like that seat. I am Mi
President R of this road."

gin, settling herselt comfortably in her
ecut, Biliu - - ;
."And I am Mrs. Onnen ViirnrU "
There was an audible smile from the
oiner passengers and the stout lady
went to her own seat in the rear. Chi

A cuiious custom of the Greek chnn-l.
was illustrated at the funeral the other
day of the yonng Grand Duchess Paul
of Russia. Before the coffin was closed
the metropolitan placed ft written paper
in the right hand of the corpse, w hich
read : " We, by the grace. of God, pre
late of the Holy Russian church, write
this to our master and friend, St. Peter,
the gatekeeper of the Lord Almighty.
We announce to you that the servant of
the Lord, her imperial highness, the
Grand Duchess Paul, has finished her
life on earth and we order vou to admit
her into the kingdem of heaven without
delay, for we have absolved all her sina
and granted her salvation. You will
obey our order on sight of this document
which we put into ker hand."
Remedies of Chinese Trades Unions.
The trades unions of China resort to
terrible remedies in order to carry out
their ends. I heard of a case in Shang
hai where an employer did something
contrary to the rules of the guild of his
workmen. His men objected, but he re
fused to accede .to their demands, and
they concluded to make an example of
him. He had more than 100 men work
ing for him. These at a concerted sig
nal sprang upon him and commenced
biting him. They had a leader, and this
leader wonld not 1ofc ima vf :

away from the place without showing4
" teem, auu 11 i iie teecu ana gums were
bloody he was allowed to go out.
The plot was gotten up on the basis
that tljere was do capital punishment in
China for biting. They bit the man to
death and the matter came to the ears of
the government. There was a little
fuss about it, but the guild was a strong
one, and only the man who took the first
bite was punished. The punishment of
members within the guild for acting
contrary to its rules are equally terrible.

It was in the New York Central depot.
A well dressed lady with her Little Lord
Fauntleroy son approached the door
leading to an outgoing train. Both were
laden with bundles. A railroad official
stood by the door. .
"Open the door or I'll punch your
head," exclaimed Fauntleroy in a very
swagger voice, and the official, amused
by the six-year-old's audacity, consented
to become doorkeeper . for the occasion
and complied. '
The mother showed that she was angry
as she Swept through the door, and as it
closed sho seized Fauntleroy by the
shoulders and shook him severely." .
"Aren't you ashamed of yourself" sua
asked: "to be st impolite to the gentle
man." "She, mamma," replied Fauntleroy,
"I was only jest foolin. I wouldn't 'a'
punched him!" Syracuse Journal.

An Ins tan ee of the Misleading Character
of Circumstantial EWideace.- -
There is no figment of the imagina-.
tion if it is at all within the limit of
possibilities more curious or strange
than some things that actually happen.
The following is an instance in proof of
this:
A few years ago Frank Millet, the
well known artist, war correspondent
and story write, published a short story
in a leading magazine which had as its
principal feature the mysterious killing
of a Parisian artist in his own studio.
A web of circumstantial evidence led to
the arrest of a model who had been in
the habit of posing for him. But through
some chain of circumstances which the
writer of this has now. forgotten, the
murder if. murder it can be called
was found to- have been caused by the
discharge of a firearm through the force
of capillary attraction. The firearm was
used by the artist as a studio accessory,
and was hung in such a manner that he
was directly in line with it. Its dis
charge occurred when he was alone in
his studio.
Tbe story was a vivid and ingenious
flight of the imagination. Now for its
parallel in fact.
The Albany Law Journal tells -of the
arrest of a man npon the charge of kill
ing his cousin. The dead- man was
found ' lying upon a lounge about 3
o'clock in the afternooiTwith a 33-caliber
ball in his brain. The cousin, who had
an interest of $100,000 in his death, was
alone with him in the house at the time.
The discovery of the real cause of death
was due to the lawyer of the accused,
who took the rifle from which the ball
had been fired, loaded and hung it npon
the wall, and then marked the form of a
man upon a white sheet and placed it
npon the lonnge where the man had
been found.
Then a heavy cut glass pitcher of -water
was placed upon a shelf above. The
temperature was 90 degs. in the shade.
The pitcher of water acted as a sun glass,
and the hot rays of the sun shining
through the water were refracted di
rectly upon the cartridge chamber of the
rifle. Eight witnesses were in the room,
aud a few minutes after 3 o'clock there
was a puff and a report, and the ball
struck the outlined form back of the ear,
and the theory of circumstantial evi
dence was exploded.
This is interesting, not only because
the real occurrence is quite as strange as
the imagined one, but because the fact
came after the fiction and paralleled it
so closely. Detroit Free Press.

An Incident of Metropolitan Life; - '
Down on South Broadwaj', standing
beside a stairway which leads np stairs
to the office of an electro-medical com
pany, there stands a little glass case in
which is displayed the life size figure of
a hnman leg from the thigh down.
The other day two very well dressed
young men were standing' in front of
the case. Two or three other people
were staring over their shoulders to see
what it was made the noise.'
Finally one young man said to the
other very solemnly:
"In five minutes that leg will begin
to move."
His companion looked at . him very
wisely, pursed his lips and nodded his
head. Then they both walked away.
The other people stood in front of the
casa for half an hour waiting for the leg
to move. Suddenly a thought seemed to
strike one of them. '. Then the same
thought occurred to another member of
the group, and so, one by one, they si
lently stole away. New York World.
. Cara. for Seasickness.
A cocrespondent says that the drink
ing of salt water is a perfect cure for
seasickness, though it makes the drinker
very miserable for a few ruinates after
he takes the cure. The sailor who rec
ommended it to thesufferer in . question
accounted for it by saying the stomach
on board ship is in a very sensitive state,
and that the- salt water pickles it so
that it gets hardened to conditions which
had previously revolted it.-. ,
If that were the explanation, it most
be a very rapid and miraculous kind of
pickling process that i3 effected by a pint
of salt water, not, in all probability,
long retained. But whatever the ration
ale of the supposed "sailor's remedy"
may be, any quick remedy for so fright
ful a distress is worth trying, and the
assertion of the sailors i3 said to be that
it never fails. St. James' Oazette.
