A Key West special of January 25th Bays: "During tha last ten days Havana has been in a perfect turmoil, and on the verge of mob violence. The trouble was caused by the unscrupulous acts of Captain General Marin and his officials. Al though Marin has been in office but three mouths, his administration is reeking with crimes of every descrip tion. The government tax is abort t 0,000, the local board of aldermen have gobbled up $10,000, Cardenas tax office, $10,000, and every office of trust is honeycombed with fraud. Two weeks ago citizens made argent appeals to Marin for protection. A meeting was held, but Marin uF?3ed armed guards about the gathering and prevented speakers from addressing the people. A pro gressive mercantile newspaper de nounced Marin's act, and yesterday the paper was suppressed by order of the despot. When Marin learned that several merchants were sending cablegrams for protection to the home government, he placed an armed guard about the cable office. On Sunday there were twelve murders, one suicide, eight highway robberies and four stabbing affrays in Havana and Cardenas." The Ottawa Muddle. Ottawa, Jan. 25. The govern ment here is in a sad quandary over the subject of annexation. Hon. Mr. Ellis, the member from St. John, who lately in his paper, the St. Jojjn Globe, came out for annex ation, will be impeached next month by parliament. He has to-day come out with a most surprising answer to the gov ernment, which throws the conserv ative leaders into confusion. He has resurrected from the vaults of the parliament library, where they have lain forgotten for years, an omciai memoranda 10 which is affixed the signatures of such men as Sir David McPherson, Sir John Rose, Sir George Cartier, Sir A. T. Gait, and Hon. J. C. Abbott, calling upon the people of Canada to throw off their British connection and join the United States. This was done in 1849, and since then these annexationists have held important positions in the cabinet. The Loser Most l'aj. The court of appeals of New York, the court of last resort, has reversed a decision of the supreme couit of the state, in the matter of a gambling debt. The defendant had lost money nt the game of crib- bage. He gave his note for the sum he lost to his winning competitor. He refused to pay the note, on the ground that it was given in gamb ling, and therefore unlawful. So the'supreme court of the state de cided, but the court of appeals supreme above the supreme court, and the final court, has decided that the note must be paid. He tha gambles roust not squeal when he is loser. A man who gives a note most pay that note. Last Sunday one of the Indians at the Klamath agency thought he would blow im his gun to see that it was clear. It wasn't and the gun discharged its load in his month, passing through his" head.

Dr. Norven Green of the Western Union says of the 100,000 names sent in with the petition for a postal telegraph, not 1000 ever sent a message. Just so, Dr. Green, they couldn't afford it. In a single year 93 American de faulter have escaped to Canada, carrying with them a good portion of the nearly $4,000,000 which they have stolen.

Work is about to begin on the Mesa canal, which is to be about 142 miles long, thirty feet wida at the top, eighteen at the bottom, and six feet deep. Over 1,500,000 acres of arid land will be made productive by this canal. Guy Robertson, of Kansas City, is manager of the enter prise.

She was said to have been over 100 years old. The Cowlitz tribe ias dwindled down until there are but a few old and crippled Indians left of that one jsjwerful band of red men. At Deer Lodge, Montana, which litis just at the foot of the main range of the Rocky mountains on the west side, the thermometers on tho 14th January in- dicated 56 degrees bcluw zero; and for several days before and after that time it was nearly a cold.

During the year 1887 more than $400,000,000 of new insurance was written in the United States, snd there are now in force 820, 000 policies. During the past year s total pf more than $70,000,000 was dis tributed in death, endowment snd dividend payments.

A number of eitizeus of Salem have sent a petition to Senator Dolph, request ing him to urge the appointment of Prof. Woody as teacher at the Indian Indus trial school near Salem, Oregon. Senator Dolph has presented the petition to the commissioner of Indian affairs with request that Prof. Woody be appointed. Prof. Woody is now officiating as principal teacher at the school, in the place of Rev. G. E. Growe, who recently returned east. Prof. Goody has the confidence and respect of ths Indian e No. 3$. pupils. He understands his business as a teacher snd it is believed would lie able to handle the school , At any rate, any change is preferable to the present notoriously incompetent management. Statesman. It is reported that Gov. Houscr, of Montana, and Henry Villard are the force behind the establishment of ore reduction works at Helena, with a capacity of 500 tons a day, the largest in the northwest, and are to cost $500,000. Mr. Villard might find favor and applause if he would lend his efforts and capital in developing the rich mineral fields of Washington. Nothing but the wooden piers of the Columbia river bridge remain since the false work was washed, out by the lee. The loss to the railroad company is esti mated at $20,000, aud the accident will delay the completion of the bridge for about two months. The unusual cold snap of the past two weeks has been very severe on jack rab bits, snd we learn that hundreds of thetu have frozen and starved to death, says the Boise Statesman. After all, cold weather has its compensation. The great Mexican loan of 10, 500,000 pouuds was taken in Germany.

Inoculation Vaccination. It was Lady Mary Wortbley Montagu, the brilliant society woman of England in the period of Pape and Sir Joshua Reynolds, who introduced into England inocula tion as a remedy against the dread contagion" of smallpox. She had learned of its efficacy while in Tur key, during her residence in Con stantinople, her husband the English ambassador at the court of the sublime porte. Inoculation is the insertion of the infectious dis ease in the skin or flesh, so that the blood is affected. . This was in 1717. Nearly ninety years later, in 1796, Dr. Edward .Tenner, an English sur geon and physician, discovered the more thorough remedy of vaccina tion, by vaccinate matter taken from the cow. It has since been con tidered as a preventative of small pox. This is a difference between inoculation and vaccination. The latter has been adopted as the better and surer remedy. Lady Mary Wortley Mantagu learned in Cou stantinople only that which had been practiced in the East for many years, she introduced in England Dr. Jenner discovered the procoss o vaccination from England dairy maids and had the happy faculty o utilizing it to tne benefit or man kind, it was vaccination by cow pox instead of inoculation by small pox virus direct.

The battlo of languages has been fought out at St. Louis and the English tongue has won. An order has been issued by the school board discontinuing the teaching of Ger man in the public schools of the city. This is sensible, Tbe time of the teachers and children in the primary public schools of the country should not bo taken up by studies of any other language except that in which the official business of the country is done. Every effort should be made to encourage the abandonment of all languages except the English for carrying on the common affairs of life Every young person of foreign parentage should be encouraged to learn English and every assistance rendered that is possible in our publie schools to that end. Tbe children who learn English wilt effectually assist in teaching the language to patents who are too old to study in the schools and to whom a new language spoken exclusively outsido tbo family circle is naturally difficult. No citizen, nalivo lorn or adopted, can be truly acquainted with the in stitutions, laws, customs and man tiers of this country who cannot speak and read English with toler able facility. No other language is necessary for tho ordinary walks of life, and the object of the public or common schools is not to impart accomplishments but to fit the child for tbe ordinary business avocations. For tbo accomplishments, the state has furnished facilities fn academies, colleges and universities, or, if it has not, privato enterprise opens such schools to all who have the time and tho disposition to acquire more than the foundations of a liberal educa tion. Let us not attempt to make uni versities of tho common schools. It will spoil a horn without making a spoon. Ex. M ill 1HHH He a Year or Wart Tho present year is tha fifth year of modern times in which the ag gregate of he fvCUTJS is twenty fire, and there wiflie but five more years in which such a combination is possible prior to the year 2599. robably but few havo ever heard of tho old prophecy, which runs as follows- In every future year of our Lord, When the sum of the figures is twenty fire, Home warlike kingdom will draw the sword, Rut peaceful nations iu peace will thrive. Students of modern history will readily recall how faithfully this prophecy has l6en fulfilled in the bur previous years to which it ap plied. In 16911 Russia, Denmark and Foland formed the coalition against Sweden which inaugurated tbe great war that ended in the disas trous defeat of Charles XII. at Pul- v towa. The year 1789 will ever be memo rable on account of the breaking out of the French revolution, Tho year 1798 witnessed the cam- migu of Bonaparte in Egypt and tbe formation of the seoond Euro pean coalition against France. In 1879 war broko out between Afghanistan, followed by the in vasion of tho latter country by British troops. In wbat manner the prediction is o be verified in 18S8 remains yet to be seen, but the present condition of Europe seems to promise an abundant fulfillment of tho proph ecy. Philadelphia Inquirer.
