ThopaptirH mnku tho brief est poesihlo allusion to hur arrival, and La Union Conatitutional, the ennservu ti vi! oririui, prints a Washington dispatch to tliu ellVct that tliu visit of tliu Muino to Havana ifl merely an nut of courtesy showing tliu friendly feeling to Spain, mill to contract tliu iinti-Spaniah utter ances in tho preaa. La Union adds that tliu visit will hii returned by Spanish ships In American porta. in spite oi thia, there ia a strong un der currunt of fueling In Havana, aa evi denced by the excited talking of angry groups asHoinhled in the cafea. The general impression among radicals ia tliiit the cause of Spain liaa been be t rayed by the Blanco government, and the nation humiliated by what they re gard aa the li rat etup in the direction of American intervention. Thia liaa in tenalfied the hatred of General lllanco and hla assoeiutea and of the cunae of autonomy, and ttila hatred may at any moment find vunt in an outbreak of fury, in which ease members of tliu govern ment will be forced to depend for their pereoiiul aufoty on tho Maine, for whilo their peril ia obvloua, the troopa con centrated during the riota have been dispersed and no now precautloiiH have been taken. The arrival of tho Maine created en tliusiiiain amung the Americana, who re alize that the long period of aii8penae has passed and that their aufoty ia abso lutely assured. Up to the present time no one kuowa what precipitated tliu midden diapatah of the sailing ordora to the Maine at Dry TortugaB on Monday. Captain Sigabeo had not the remoteat idea why hu whb eent, but ho was not much surprised when the Dnpont arrived from Key West with orders to start without a moment's delay. Being In total ignorance of tliu situation ho hud no conception uh to what Burt ol a reception to expect. Ho approached tliu harbor from tho west urd, partly for the purposo of inspect ing' the Spanish batteries and watching 'or any hostile demonstrations, and partly for displaying tho Hag and char acter of the Maine, ao as to give tliu au tlioiities on shore opportunity to make Preparation!) to uvold a panic which might Imvo been precipitated by tliu Maine's auddun entrance. The battle ship wns prepared for any emergency. After picking up iftillot the Mainu wont rapidly up the harbor to a berth near 'lie Spanish llagshlp. It will bo impossible- to give the crow Hielr liberty whilo in Havana, and aa yet io ehoro leaves have been granted to of ficers, the captain being the only man Hint Ikih gone ashore. For this reason it ia behoved that tho navy department will not keop tho Maine hero long, but fill replace her by another vessel of the squadron the moment tho health of the "few becomes impaticd.

Tilt) tlllllHO. Wahhinhton, Jan. 27. In the house today the senate bill granting American register to the barkeutine Sharpshooter of fiau Franciscj, was passed. A bill was passed making Santa Fe the permanent capital of New Mexico. Hitt, chairman of the foroigu affairs committee, renorted from his committee with a recommendation that it lie on the table the Lewte resolution calling upon tho president for authority in the con stitution under which he negotiated a treaty that will bind tho treasury to pay $4,000,000 to the Hawaiian bondholders. The Democrats manifested a desire to discuss tho report, but the question was not debated. The house then went into committee of the whole, and resumed consideration of the Indian appropriation bill. Rep resentative Hartmaii got the floor, and for 15 minutes held the attention of the house in a speech denouncing the lie- J publican party for its opposition of tho financial question. Ilaitnuui said hu knew that many Republican!) were op posed to the retirement of greenbacks, "but," said he, "what will they do about it when tho hanking and currency committee reports a bill to retire green backs? If wo may judge the future by the punt, there can be but little doubt of the result. "This ia no longer u bouao of repre sentatives," he cried in stentorian tones, "it is a house of registers, it is n house of registers of the will of those who ion- trol it. In thia house wo ahould change tho oath, and, instead of taking the oath to support, protect and defend the con stitution ol tliu United Status and per form our duties to the best of our abili ties, wo should at the opening of each session swear to support, protect and de feud tho constitution, provided we can obtain the consent of the leading nations of the earth."

' "It hn.s lwcome a common suprw.sitiori for years," aid the lecturer, "that the bite of a Gila, m oils tor was n poison ous n.s Mint of a rattlefinuke, but many of t he scientists denied this. Numerous eminent scientific men stated thai from nctun.1 experience they bad. demon litruted that Uie bit owns harmless. One of these. Dr. Sohufert, had himself been bitten by one of the reptiles, and, le sides the pain occasioned by the ordi nary blto of an u'nimal, no ill results followed." Tho leetmcir then stated that he had demonstrated that the saliva, of tho Gila monster was (XjiKonoiLs. Its bite would in nJmost every case cause death it the tooth of the lower jiw pemctrated the skin. It was the upper jaw of the reptile which sunk into the fieh of Dr, Sohufert, and us the secretion of the glands of the upper jaw was harmless tho doctor lived. The MKiaker said that he had injected the sitliw. of lioth the upper and lower plands into piguoiis, niml in every case where that from the lower jaw was in jectcd the victim had died in a short tinm. He showed why so many ani mals which are bit ton by the poisonous reptile live.. The d ucts winch lead from the glands to the mouth oikjii between the lower lip und tho gum. For the saliva to enter a wound it must to forced up from the lip to the teeth, and thence Into the wound. Thus it is hard for the jK)isouous fluid 10 reach the blood, even if the victim is bitten by the lower teeth. LOOKING DOWN THE FUTURE. A I'coullur lBdtai.ec of I'oplitkt In Frmocr. One dav in October, 18S3, Lady A , living in Kuo du Bel-llespiro, I "oris, found that she had been robbed of a sum of H.riOO francs, says the Arena. She notified the commissary of police, w ho instituted a search and questioned the tiorvants, but discovered nothing-. Lady A hen ennimerating her ht-rv- ant begged the commissary to exclude from his suspicions her second valet.de chambiv, a youth of 19, very goodrlook iug, very respectful and very well quali llod for "his duties, who had been nick named "le Petit" not on account of his stature, for he was rather tall, but for a feeling of delicate, protectinf- famil iarity which his good qualities had won for him. Meanwhile, among- the friends of Lady A there had been a good deal of talk about a certain Demoiselle 12- , who they said, could see the most, 'surprising- things in a bowl of coffee grounds. M. L. d'F-rvioux had the curiosity to accompany his governess, to the. house of this person and was quite surprised to hear her describe ex actly each piece of furniture in Lady A 's airtuient, ptus in review her seven servants and say that, though she could not name the thief, he would be guillotined within two years. Some weeks later "le Petit" left the service of his mistress without giving any reason, and two years later he mounted the scaffold. The servant so highly esteemed was none other than Marehundon, the assassin. NOT A FASHIONABLE WEDDING. The (JrooniV Clotlit-a Were Until? SliruiiUen mid tin- 11 ride Mmlil). There was a time in Oregon when the male inhabitants mostly wore buckskin trousers, because there was no other material available for garment making. Oregon's climate, of course, is damp, and buckskin once wet .shrinks fright fully in drying. This reminds an old pioneer, tiie Covallis (Ore.) Times, of the first wedding he ever went to in Oregon, lie said: "l.t occurred in the winter of 1S16 at Oiegon City. The brido walked two miles through mud to get to the church. She was arrayed in white, and when slicupciiiTd in church her gown was sadly bedraggled. The groom wore buckskin pants. Once they had been wet, but at the wedding they were. dry. They bagged at the knees until there was room inside forn swarm of bees, but they failed to reach his shoetops. They ended somewhat about the calf of tlu legs, nud the groom wore, no socks. 1 1 was a at range costmnie for the chief eon true tor at. a wedding, but the groom was undaunted.
