and his recognition of tho warliko char

Its base of supplies. No ono in Russia,
or for that matter In Europe, doubts for
a moment tho intention of tho cznr to
take iwsscHslon of Horat. Tho proba
bilities mo Hint Gladstono himself Is
fully conscious of this intention, but
hopes that ho will ho ablo to reconcile
tho English people to tho disgrace mid
Induco them to submit to tho mortifica
tion of tho humiliation in picferencoto
tho enormous losses In men and money
thoy must sustain In tho ovont they re
solve on war. Tho great activity still
displayed by tho Russians In their war
liku preparations indicates conclusively
that they mean war or acquiescence on
tho part of England to their occupation
and possession of tho mountain passes
in Afghanistan which nro known ns tho
gates of India. On tho other hand,
tho last orders of tho Gladstone ad
ministration indicate that this acqui
escence will bo nildcd to tho other con
cessions, If It ts tho only posslhlo way
to avoid war. In othoi words, It is evi
dent that Gladstone docs not Intend to
fight under any circumstances. Tho
only question now, in considering tho
possibility or probability of war, Is can
Gladstono scctiro tho acquiescence of
the people in ills sehemo of "peace at
any price." Many, looking only to
English antecedents and English pecu
liarities, think tins is impossible. Uut
theso forget the elTcct of long years of
shop-trading and wealth-getting upon
so warliko a people as tho English. All
tho recent wars of the cmplro liavo been
with barbarous or semi-civilized pcoplo
tKmsrsshig nono of tho advantages of
modern implements of war. It is no
test of courage or skill for men armed
with repeating rifles and Gatling guns to
wlthstund tho assaults of savages armed
with discarded guns or spenrs. Many
years hnvu passed away since, tho Cri
mean contest, in which the Russian de
feat was duo quite as much to French
skill and campaigning tact as to Eng
lisc pluck and endurance There have
been no recent tests of English heroism
and warliko skill such as madu tho na
tion famous in tho days of the Spanish
Armada or conspicuous in tho overthrow
of tho Napoleonic empiro. Tho appar
ent easo with which Gladstono has thus
far induced them to retreat step by step
before tho advancing Russians warrants
the belief that tho limit of tho retreat is
only to be measured by tho limit of tho
advance. It maybe that tho spirit of
tho early English will onco again assert
itself and place tho country in chnrgo of
nu administration true to thu traditions
of the nation. If so there will bo war

Grant and the Soldier Boy.
In 18W John F. Uabcock, then and
now ed'tor of tho Brunswick (N.J.)
Frcdonlan, went to Washington to in
tercede in IkjIioU of n young soldier from
that city who, having, when only 10,
run nwnv from n widowod mother to
join tho army, after n faithful service of
over two years, being refused a fur
lough, had desorted and gone homo.
After ono day'B visit, and while on his
wav back to duty, ho had been arrested
and afterward sont to tho Dry Tortugas.
Uabcock first visited Presidont Lincoln,
who said that the mutter was in the
hands of tho war department and out of
his control entirely. Upon being asked
for u lottor to Secretary Stanton, ho said
ho was not in tho habit of writing such
letters, mid added, grimly: "The fuct
Is. I haven't much influence, nt the war
department under this administration."
Finally ho guvo Bahcock n card to
Stanton.
Armed with this, nn admittance to tho
secretary of war was obtained, and Uab
cock proceeded to urgo with all his pow
er in behalf of tho unfortunate widow's
son. Stanton heard him through and
shook his head. "I can do nothing for
him," ho said. "Ho has vlolatod mili
tary rules and must Buflor tho penalty.
Thoro uro so many doing tho Bamo thing
now that wo cannot show any partiality
or lonlonco, or wo will hnvo no army
loft when spring conies."
Uabcock began nil over ngntn. IIo
pleaded tho lad's youth, his excellent
record, tho certainty that ho would not
oflond again, tho uncontrollttblo homo
sickness that had caused tho present
nilonso. and tho ruin of a good soldier
mid n good mmi that tho imprisonment
on tho Tortugas would worlc.
Tho secretary interrupted him hnpa-
tiontly, "1 cannot intorjWBO with tho
action of tho court-martial," mm was
nhout to dismiss tho matter, when a
gontloman In half military dress, who
had boon Bitting by quietly reading a
paper, wlieolod around sharply and
blurted out: "Oh, Mr. Secretary, give
tho boy n chance-." Stanton hesitated
and then mnda an appointment with
Uabcock for that ovonlng at his houso.
Thoro ho finally consented to tho pardon
and had tho papers prepared for tho
president's signature. Uabcock asked
him who it was that had Interfered in
tho lad's behalf in tho morning. "Why,
didn't you know?" was tho reply.
"That was (Ion. Grunt."
The boy made u good soldior for tho
roBt of tho war, and booh aftor, bclug
honorably discharged, died ut his homo,
his mother dying at about tho samo
tlmo.
Several years uftorward Gen. Grant
visited liia mothor in New Brunswick,
and at a reception given hlin at tho rost
dpnpo of Congressman Amos- Clark,
UaUctick me him lit the flrtUinie BfaVd
tho morning in Stanton's ofllce. As
Bnhcock approached in tho lino that
was slinking hands and his name was
mentioned, Grant spoko up quickly:
"Why, I've seen tills gentleman before
How did that boy make out?" Ukmi
being told of tho lad's faithful service,
ho said : "I knew ho would I know ho
would. It was only a sovoro caso of
homesickness?"
Sensation and Suicide.
San Fiiancisco, Moy 11. Among tho
company of Her Majesty's Opera com
pany, which played hero a few months
ago, was Signor Cardinal!, a tenor, who,1
was made much of In society. So woll,
indeed, did iio employ his opportunity
and tlmo whllo hero that on tho depar
ture of the company it was correctly re
ported, and accepted as n fact, that ho
was to return to tills city in a yoar and
claim tho hand in innrnngo of Miss
Sibyl Sanderson, daughter of Judge
Sanderson, a wealthy and prominent
lawyer, widely known as general solici
tor of the Central and Southern Pacific
railroads. Deferment of tho marriago
ceremony was said to bo duo to no blind
opposition on tho part of Judgo Sander
son, but to his desire to Investigate the
reliability of tho young Roman singer's
statements concerning his largo estates
In his nativo land, and his position as
ono of the Italian nobility, and other
aristocratic claims. A letter received
in tin's city from Col. Maplcson states
that Cardinal! has run away from New
York with a young woman and depart
ed for Europe. Judge Sanderson, in an
interview regarding tho affair between
his daughter and Cardinal!, said: "I
suppose there may liavo been somo pas
sages between them, but thoro was no
engagement, with my sanction or con
sent." Jennie Campbell, an aged woman
who has kept a fruit stand on the corner
of Kearny and Post streets for several
years past, was taken to tho receiving
hospital last evening, suffering from the
effects of a dose of arsenic which lato at
night caused her death. The unfortun
ate woman is said to have had a strange
history. She was said to bo a relative
of tho nohlo family of Argyle and to
liavo come to this city many years since,
in company with an English nobleman,
who, nfter squandering tho money she
was possessed of, deserted hor and de
parted. Since thnt timo she lies been
driven from pillar to post, first endeav
oring to support herself by teaching,
and subsequently by ruder employ
ments. Dr. Charles Pierce, n young and well
known physician of this city, nho on
Saturday last was found in a pitiablo
condition, tho result of morphino injec
tions, died last night. His wife, who
was formerly ono of tho leading belles
of Boston, is lying in a ding condition
from tho same cause. It is now known
that for sovoral months they liavo de
nied themselves the commonest necessi
ties of life in order to indulge their crav
ing for the drug.
A Ship Capsized at San Francisco.
San Francisco, May 12. Tire four
masted British ship Earl of Dahousic,
1077 tons, whllo being towed frcm one
berth to anothor in tho open bty this
afternoon, capsized and sank. She arriv
ed hero November 7, 1884, with catl from
Dundee, nnd has been lying here ever
sinco. Tho vossol had no ballastln her,
and coming broadside to a heavy wind,
which was blowing at tho time, careened,
tilled and soon sank. This is tho first
timo sucli an nccidont has occurred In
this or any other harbor on tho coast.
Tho vessel was built in May, 1884, by
Steven & Sons, Dundee. This was her
first trip. Slio was owned by "W. Stoven
of Dnndeo. Tho Earl of Dalhousie cost
in tho vicinity of $100,000, and it is es
timated that it will cost fully (30,000 to
restoro her to her former usetulness.
Sho is supposed to bo fully insured.
Tho question or to whothor the owners
or tho underwriters will suffer the dam
ages occasioned by tho mishap is n de
batable ono among shipping people hero.
Nautical men say that tho vessel was
"dished" that is, did not have suffi
cient bearing for her heavy spars when
but littlo or no ballast was on board.
It appears that Capt. Jarvis was warn
ed of tho danger of moving so light a
vesbel without Bonding down her gal
lant masts. Thoro was a stioug noith
west galo provalling, nnd when tho tug
slacked, preparatory to pulling tho ship
about, thu wind caught her mid sent hor
on hor sldo, Tho captain and men
aboard had barely timo to get clear, ns
tho vessel quickly turned, filled with
water nnd sank on hor sido. Tho tug
nnd bonts from vossols nonr went to tho
aid of tho mon in tho water nnd on' tho
ship's bottom, nnd nil woro saved,
though with nothing but tho clothes
they had on. Tho captain's vuluablo
library and six-montlis stores woro
among other tilings lost.
Trouble t the Treasury.
Nr.w Yoiik, May 11. The unsatisfac
tory condition of thu United Statos treas
ury Is discussed in leading custom pa
pers this morning. It appears undenia
ble that diminished receipts and increas
ed expenditures thieatou n reduction of
tho estimated 130,000,000 surplus to one
half that amount, if it is not wiped out
altogether. The Bun shows that tho
til. 000.000 doflcloncy of gold Iti tho
treasury Blnco. tho udmmUtration cauio quences. His
in Id aVc'cAmlVd f"df bV M lneVeWUpo'rlnuiticjdUi'
amount of gold on deposit in New York
banks. Another suggestive fact is that
tho amount of silver dollnts nnd bullion
in tho treasury over and above outstand
ing certificates, lias Increased during
tho last two months from 140,108,300 to
$55,811,078. Of this increnso only nhout
$1,800,000 Is duo to the coinage of silver
dollars required by law, leaving but $5,
000,000 in excess of receipts of silver
over disbursements in tho regular course
of business. Taking those facts and fig
ures, in connection with the avowed
policy of tho administration to maintain
gold payments as long as tho operations
of tho Bland-Allison act will iicrmit,
and with the hostility of eastern bank
ers to tho silver dollar, it looks very
much as if Secretary Manning was un
necessarily giving away to tho banks
millions of dollars of gold nt par, which,
in a comparatively short time, will com
mand a premium. Jet Secretary Man
ning keep his gold, not pay it out until
Ills store of silver dollars is exhausted.

THE FLEET ON ITS REPORTED INEFFICIENCY.

Which Nelson left so great.

If you hae only compassed her disgrace.

Oil on the Waves A Guide to Fisher
men. I recently read of a writer who was
unable to account for tho numerous
smooth tracks ha had seen upon the
ocean when no vessels were in sight
from which oil or grease could have been
thrown to cause them. Had ho been ac
quainted with the nature and habits of
fish, even in a small degree, the mystery
would easily have been solved. The
menhaden, or moss bunker, is an es
pecial victim for all biting flsh, and
thoy, being of n very oily nature, will
when bitten by other fish exudo oil,
which immediately rises to the surface.
Thus it will bo readily understood that
when a largo body of blucfish, wcakfish,
or sharks fall upon a shoal of menhaden,
and follow them up for miles, it will
produce the smooth tracks which tho
writer referred to could not account for.
If any ono is inclined to doubt the state
ment above, let him take a few bunkers
on tho bay or river, when tho wind is
blowing fresh, and score their sides,
then cast thcin in tho water and watch
tho result.
The first appearance of a "slick" (as
fishermen term it) is eagerly watched
for by fly-net men, as it generally do
notes tho exact locality of blue or weak
fish in tho act of feeding upon bunkers
or other small fish. I liavo seen a thou
sand or more bluefish taken at a singlo
haul by simply casting a net around one
of theso smooth spots when it first ap
peared on the surfaco, and no other sijn
of tho prcsenco of fish could be seen.
A fow years ago a whnlo wns washed
nshoro near Firo Island inlet, and tho
action of tho surf and sand chafed the
skin until the oil began to oozo out,
causing the surf to smooth down for n
considerable distance each, and when
tho wind was from tho north would
make a smooth streak out on the ocean,
a milo or more in width, as far as the
eye could reach. A dead shark or por
poiso at sea will produco tho sumo thing.
So tho smooth tracks upon tho ocean
need not longer be a mystery. fW. L.

Singular Insanity.
At East Portland one night last week
a middle-aged man ot medium stature
and maudlin brain appliod to Ofllcer
Jerelaman to lock him up for safe-keop-ing,
as ho was afraid of committing sub
cldo if allowed to run at large. The
ofllcer complied with his request and
jailed him for tho night. A night's
rest did not seem to improve his mental
or moral condition, as ho ropeated his
misgivings concerning himself to tho
marshal upon that olllcor's visit to the
jail next morning, and requested to bo
sont to tho insano asylum. Tho mar
shal released hiin and directed him to
tho county authorities in order to
havo his ronuost Eranted, but sub
sequently meeting him on the street, ho j
explained that lie was afraid to cross
tho rivor alono on account of tho great
temptation to jump ovorboard. Record
or Glllespio happening along, on his
way to Portland, took him safoly across
tho rivor and dismissed him with somo
hot coffee and cold advice. Ho gavo his
name iib G. "W. Turpot, and appeals to
bo tho man who somo timo sinco at
tempted to commit suiculo in Union
county by cutting his throat, but failing
in tho attempt, was committed to tho
asylum, fioin whleli Institution ho was
recently discharged as cured. In proof
of this fact ho exhibits a scar on his
throat as tho result of tho wound. IIo
is evidently oil" his mental balance, and
his caso is peculiar and unique, from
tho fact that bo is painfully awaro of
his condition and afraid of tho conse

An Unlucky Company and Captain.
Tho Wiiito Cross lino Belgian steamer
Helvetia, with a general cargo, which
started from Antwerp for Montreal on
tho 23d tilt, sunk off Seattcrie, Capo
Breton, on tho 7th inst. This is the
fourth steamer of that lino which has
been lost within as many years. The
steamer August C. Andro sailed from
New York for Antwerp in tho fall of
1883 and was never heard of after. The
Herman Ludwig sailed from Montreal
for Antwerp 13 months ago, with a crew
of 30 men and a cargo, and that was the
last heard of her. Tho Daniel Stein
mau was recently crashed on the rocks
at Sambro islands and 124 lives were
lost. A remarkable coincidence is that
Capt. Schoonhavcn, who commanded
the Daniel Stcinman, was also in com
mand of tho Helvetia, and this was his
first trip across the Atlantic since the
wreck of tho Stcinman. The Helvetia
had been knocking around in the gulf of
St. Lawrence for about a week before
she went down. Her bows were stove
in and she was otherwise damaged by
ice and was leaking badly, when Capt.
Schoonhavcn left Cape Ray and bore
up for Sidney, having all he could do
to keep bis steamer afloat. On the 7th
a heavy sea sprung up and he hailed
the Allan line steamer Arcadian, which
was passing. The Arcadian took the
Helvetia in tow and headed for Louis
burg, but had not gone far before Capt.
Schoonhavcn called that he was sinking.
Boats were lowered, when the passen
gers and crew got into them as soon as
possible, but none too soon, as the last
boat had hardly got clear before the
Helvetia careened and sunk, after which

From information received from a
confidential friend of the Grant family,
there is reason to believe that President
Cleveland will appoint Fred. Grant
either assistant quartermaster or com
missary in the army when the next va
cancy occurs, and further, that Conkling
and other friends have cither asked or
will ask this mucii of tho democratic
president. Buck Grant lias been able to
live since tiie failure because of his
wife's fortune, which is her own nnd
could not bo touched for her husband's
debts; but Fred. Grant has really been
poor, and but for his brother-in-law,
Potter Palmer of Chicago, and one or two
other friends, ho would have known posi
tive want. Ho desires above all tilings to
get back into the army, and recalls las
regimental and cadctship days as the
happiest that ho has ever known. Gen.
Sherman has been very anxious to serve
the son of his friend, and will aid in any
necceoury way to have him appointed,
as will many others of tho old officers
of the army, without regatd to political
predilections.
Willie Bryant, a 12-year-old boy, shot
himself iatally at Dixon, Mo., a few days
since, under peculiar circumstances.
Tho boy had taken an empty shell, at
least two inches in length, used for a
Winchester rifle. He loaded the shell
with about CO grains of powder and a
large chargo of shot and slugs, tamping
tho whole with a rubber cork. The
primer had been removed and tho boy
fired tho shell by applying a match to
it while ho hold it in his hand. The en
tire shell penetrated his head, entering
over tho loft eye, passing through the
bruin and lodging against the skull nt
tho back of tho head. The boy lived
about 30 hours, and was rational for
somo hours after the accident, during
which timo he gnvn tho doctor who u
tended him an account of it that waB
corroborated by a younger brother.
Vice President Hendricks, w bile pass
ing through Philadelphia tho other day,
said that ho could hold out no hope to
such democrats of tho country ns aro
anxious for a general and rapid change
in tho civil service of tho country. Tho
situation in which tho democratic party
finds itself with tho advent of this ad
ministration is exceptional, says Hcn-
diicks, and tho expectations of reward
for party services that might have been
realized four or eight years ago cannot
be gratified now. Tho sentiment of tho
country seems fayorablo to tho policy
that has been adopted by Cleveland,
and it seems doubtful if any other could
bo followod for tho futuro good of tho
party. It meets with tho accord of the
wisest counselors in tho democratic
party, and in timo tho great mass of tho
party will adopt a similar view.
About 150 Italians and Swedes struck
on tho Reading and Pottsvillo (Pa.) rail
road last week for an advance in their
wages from $1 10 to $1 20 per day. Tho
contractors offered $1 12, which was ro
ftised. England is not disposed to treat with
Russia, Sho Is more inclined to retreat.
But sho cannot back down any further
without losing her balance and falling
