THURSDAY, - - - FEB. 23, 1893 The true site of the Garden of Eden has been the subject of almost endless controversy and conjecture. The three continents of the old .world have been gone over by the theologians and anti quarians in a vain search for its most probable location. From China to the Canary islands and from the Mountains of the Moon to the coast of the Baltic, each country has been the. subject of careful search. Every spot in Europe, . Asia and Africa that could possibly be the place designated in the first chapter of Genesis has been examined, and yet, says the Philadelphia press, no place has been found that corresponds even in the slightest degree with the scriptural account of the first abode of the projec tors of the human race. One of the most ancient opinions, that given by Josephus, is that it whs the country whiih lies between the Ganges and the Nile. This view imagines Eden as being a very widely extended country, euibrac- r ing all that vast territory which is bounded on the eatit by the Indus, and on the west by Egypt's great water course. As the "Garden" is said to have been "to the eastward in Eden," Josephus places it definitely in the val ley of the Euphrates. Von Hammer, the famous oriental scholar, places it in Bactria; others locate it in Babylonia, at the confluence of the Euphrates and the Tigris. Captain Wilford, a profound student of eastern antiquaries, has labored for years to locate Eden in Bamian, south of the Koosh mountains. Euttman puts in down as being in India ; Heider, in his "History of Mankind," . identifies it with the present vale of Cashmere. Many oriental sects believe it was on the island of Ceylon, while the Greeks place it at Beth Eden, on Leba non. Lastly, many eminent scholars regard the whole story as being a gigan tic myth. Persons desiring to visit the Chicago fair in their own yacht or small craft can go there via the St. Lawrence river if their vessels do hot exceed 133 feet in length, 28 feet beam and 8 feet draught'. They can sail to Quebec, tow up to Mon treal, paes through the Lachine canal, cine miles long, and be i piloted thence to Chicago. This is the best way for large yachts to go.- Smaller craft, es pecially if steam propelled, may go by the Erie canal, 3-52 miles from Albany to Buffalo, hat they must not. exceed 100 feet in length, or 6 feet draught, nor must they exceed 10 feet G inches above the water line, in order to pass under the bridges. There are 72 locks on the canal and 4 miles an. hoar is the speed limit.

' : ' Judson of Pierce county, Wash., has Introduced a bill to make primaries res pectable and decent,' regulate them and punish frauds. One section requires that only legally registered Yotera shall cast a ballot, and everything in future must be done decently and in order. There is a world of room for reform in this direction and we hope the bill will become a law. .Rule or ruin is the policy at Olympia. Allen or nobody is the motto at Washing ton's capitol. If the state wants more than one U. S. Senator to represent them. Allen should be' in Washington, D. C, or the supreme courts should de clare his chair abolished on the ground that it is an . unnecessary incumbrance. The grave announcement is made by a spiritualistic periodical that it has secured the "exclusive"-collaboration of William Skakespeare in the spirit world, and that any alleged communications from the dramatist appearing elsewhere are spurious. President Harrison has signed the Pacific reserve proclamation, and defi nitely settled the Bainier-Tacoma controversy for the present. .

The shadows of metropolitan life could scarcely have a more ghastly illustra tion than in the case of the corpse of the old man at a Greenwich street window staring into the windows of the elevated cars for two days, the butt of the train men's Christmas time humor. A little while before was the killing and man gling of another man on the elevated al most immediately opposite a window where sat his wife and child looking in nocently out and wondering who it was being carried away under the protecting blanket. We axe wont to look upon the extraor dinary situations created by the novelist and playwright with satirical severity, but the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and of a host of imitators never conjured up from imaginations vivid with research and practical observation a more pa thetically impressive picture than is pre sented in the dead man at the Greenwich street window. Yet such things are so common in New York that they are swallowed up in the great maelstrom of metropolitan events forgotten in a day. New York Herald. Dlrldenda In Philadelphia. . The January payments of interest and dividends in this city are the heaviest of the year. Upon Jan. 1 in terest matures on a large portion of the national debt, and the government pays the quarterly interest on the 4 per cents., about $5,596,000, and also $1,838, 705 semiannual interest on the Pacific railroad bonds known as the "currency sixes." The semiannual interest on the debt of the city, due Jan. 1, is now being paid. The city interest due is $1,516,075, of which $5S9,773 goes into the city sinking fund. The principal of the city debt upon which interest is dis bursed is $52,417,800. It is estimated that all the money paid in Philadelphia for January interest and dividends ex ceeds $10,000,000.

" Mr. Albert Favorite, of Arkansas City, Kan., wishes to give our readers the benefit of his experience with colds. He says: "I contracted a cold early last spring that settled on my lungs, and had hardly recovered from it when I caught another that hunz on all summer and left me with a hacking cough which thought I never would get rid of. I had used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy some fourteen years ago with much sue cess, and concluded to try it again When I got through with one bottle my cough had left me, and I have not euf fered with a cough or cold since. I have recommended it to others, and all speak well of it." 50 cent bottles for sale by Blakeley & Houghton, Druggists.
