President Harrison believes appoint ing residents ef the territories to th offices. The day of carpet-bag appoint menta are no more. Tub impression is gaining strength that within a very few weeks there will Ie a wonderful increase in the real estate transactions of our city. A steamer is expected tomorrow at San Francisco which will bring mail am advices from Samoa up to March 1st The vessel will hardly bo delayed later than Sunday at the furtherest. At tbn time the country will be able to lenrn the true situation of affairs in the islands. The binding twine trust has bought np all the twine, and have raised th price from nine cents to twenty-five cente and the formers of Dakota have con eluded to boycot the trust this summer not buy any twine of the trust, and it begins to look as if the trust would b compelled to collapse bo fore the summer is over. COrPEli AND THE TARIFF. "When the free traders pretend that the copper syndicate exists because of the American tariff on copper, or that it has been encouraged or helped by that duty. or that American coasumers have been to any extent whatever taxed or burdened by,that duty, they make it hard to deter mine whether they are amazingly ignor ant or absurdly mendacious. This coun try exports enormous quantities of coj- psr ore, bars and manufactured copper in various forms, so that the price here is not at all controlled by the duty. Last ysar nearly 40,000 tons ore and 31,004,- 046 pounds of bar and ingots went out from this country, forming a considera ble part of the enormous surplus which has broken the back of the French syn dicate. Only the stupidest of free traders could imagine that under such circum stances ther the market here could be controlled by the duties, and in fact it was so completely controlled by the syn dicate for nearly a year that the selling price in London and New York was about the same. Thus the first quotation this year at London was equal to 17 1-8 cents per pound, which was also the first quotation for Lake copper at New York Having accumulated about 100,000 tons for which it ran find no market, the syndicate has not been able to prevent a great fall in the price at London from over 17 to less than 12 cents per pound It may be said that now the duty pre vents the syndicate from emptying its foreign copper upon this market, if it should on any account desire to sell here in order to better maintain prices else where. If that were so, they would only help to destroy the Copper tTrust. Dut the fact is that the Trust was smashed in large part by the enor mous increase of production in this country, which would not have been possible had not the market here been closed against imports at low prices. Forced to take the copper thus produced in order to prevent a fatal decline in foreign markets, the syndicate has in fact Wen crippled in a large measure by the very tariff which free traders ignorantly or men laciou-tly accuse of helping it A? yet, belief that the syndicate may be lifte I over the immediate" emergency by the French government has prevented a fall in the price here as great as has oc currcd in England, but the instant it be coinos certain that the cyndicate cannot carry out its engagements, the price of copper here will start toward a lower level by far than any touched this month at London. This combination originated in France, lias been encouraged and supported by French oflicial influence and by the strongest French banks, and was openly shielded from assault by the FreLch government itself when inquiries were made in the French assembly as to its legalty. According to principles of law fully rocognized in French as in Ameri can decisions, the combination was con trary to the public interest, unlawful, 1 very government which encouraged and shielded it. As a couHiquencc the French government is now compelled to demand a&bUtuncu for the copper ring from the great financiers and the bank ot France, with a strong probability that even though such assistance has been given, the ring will be forced to liqui date speedily. New York Tiibune. Love In a Cottage. 'Chally," said Amarantha Jane, I notice that your spirits recently seem to be bubbling over with lumpiness.

"You know for a while I was melancuollv. blue as indigo had no appetite, was bilious and dyspeptic, but the use of two bottles o Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has brou'dit me out and I am bncht as a button.

A r.owspaper man has been turning ver the hies of The Peking Gazette. lo l iius that it has been published continuously for SOU years. There is oul.t'ess tin impression gaming rou:.J in tho Chinese empire to the licet that Tho Gazette has come U .i:iv Lord Reaconsflcld'a Debts. It is curious to hear tho astonish menl expressed by those who ought to know about Lord DeaconsGeld at the .statements in the Quarterly Review concerning his debts. Lord Beacons- field was a poor man all his life, for tho reason that until shortly before his death he had never paid off his earlv liabilities. The fortune left him by Jir. Brydges Williams cleared them olf a:;d he iaid every penny ho owed Lady Beacousfield's fortune was hers only for her life, and she was not ablo to leave him anything of importance, but ti the early part of his married life slio assisted him with his election expenses, and, except for his marriage, me probability is no couiu never nave stemmed tho tide of money difficul- ies wliich always hampered him. All About a Postage Stamp. A most unheard of act, which by many is considered aisrespecuui ux the highest, or even disloyal, is re- xjrtcd to have been committed by the postal authorities of New South Wales. It consists in tho removal of the vig nette of her majesty from the postage stamps of that colony, and the substi tution therefor of the likeness or an emu. It is gravely announced mat this action is "the cloud no bigger than a man's hand,-which will rapidly increase until a flood will come which will sweep the colonial possessions of Great Britain frcm their moorings." And all this diro foreboding on ac count of a postage stamp 1 San Fran cJsrci CHiroiiide. - and should have been suppressed by the - Dlirawid irMf th HnUMi Mrs. I C Abraham, then living on Euclid avenue, lost a diamond which was ono of a pair of car rings, the pair bcirg valued at $1,000. The diamond when lost was incased in a gold ball. Moro than ten months passed, and, as there was no response to the advertise nients, it was given up as lost. But strange things happen in this prosalo world, and Mrs. Abraham is again in possession of her diamond. It was re turned to her last Friday, and it came about in this way. About the time the stone was lost a workman named John Scott happened to look into the gutter and there saw the small golden balL lie picked it up and the next day showed it to some of his fellow employes. He even offered it as a gift to the workman at the next bench to him, but he said: "What do I want with the thing? It's no good; only a brass plaything. So Scott took it home and gave it to his children. The little ones had a bag of marbles, and they added the golden ball to the collection, rolling it about the tloor. This sort of thing was kept up for ten months. One day last week a woman living in the neighborhood called on the Scott family and the youngsters were rolling the golden ball about the floor. The woman picked it up, examined it closely and said: "Why, there's a crease right around the center of it," The two women went to work on It until the gold I Kill was opened, and right in the center of it was a dazzling and precious gem. A consultation was held among the neighbors and Scott took the diamond down to Chafer & Becker's and showed it to Mr. Becker, who advised him to ad vertise it. Finally the advertisement was read by Mrs. Abraham. Her hus band went down to see it, and could scarcely believe his eyes when he beheld tho sparkling gem lost by his wife nearly a year ago. He gave the finder a reward of $50 and restored the missing earring to Ids wife. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Coal M m Factor la Civilization. Professor J. S. Newberry, pf Columbia college, Now York, in a recent lecture on "Coal, the Dominant Factor in Modem History, said: "Few persons have real ized the magnitude and dignity of the work coal is doing in the world, and fewer still have thought that it is really the sunshine of bygone ages, and that it lias once composed the tissues of various strange plants, some of which are among the most graceful and beautiful of veg etable forms. Buried in the earth or covered with water, vegetable fiber de cays or oxidizes slowly, forming, in sup. ccsslve stages of decomposition, peat, lignite, coal, anthracite, graphite, the hydro-carbon gases and petroleum. By regulating and controlling the further oxidation of these we are able to utilize the resulting force as light or heat or motive power. "To help you to realize the potency pf this wonderful suostance, coal, let' me recall to your memories the measure ments of the power evolved in its com bustion. It is estimated -that with the average engines, now in use, about 1,500, 000 foot pounds are practically evplved from the combustion of a pound of coal, and are available in the performance of any work done. Now, this is about the power exerted fn a day's labor of an average man. uence a ton or coal is capable of yielding an amount of force equivalent to that of six and two-thirds men, or of six men and a well grown boy, throughout the year. Or, the annual production of coal in this country and. Great Britain is equivalent to a thousand million men working for a year." Spar the Church Bell. .4 Jady friend takes for a text the state ment that a young lady was run over and killed the other day, and that the horse received its fright from the ringing of church bells. She then suggests that the ringing be stopped, saying that it is un necessary in these days of costly clocks and gold watches. WeU, perhaps t is, but when we consider that so many thing3 of the past are being swept aside in tho march of progress we do feel like clinging to few of the old traditions, and keeping up some of the customs our an cestors inaugurated. Nothing of a clear, bright Sunday morning gives one half so much pleasure as the music of the bells of a dozen churches floating out upon the air. They tell a story of something better, something of the mystical future that even a sermon cannot impart. But to return to the' frightened horse. Any thing else might have produced the same result, for a horse that would take fright at a church bell ringing would be liable to run away on a slighter provocation. This is the first instance of the kind on record. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Convict Ingenuity. The Detroit police have in their posses sion a number of remarkable articles, the workmanship of convicts. Among them are six oil paintings by Ben Moyler, a f or- er; a finely carved bone toothpick, the work of Al Little, a . well known crook, cut with a jack knife; a colored image of a red wing blackbird in flight, also carved by Little from a meat bone; very grace ful mirror frame, the work of Con Kane, another notorious crook; a work box com posed of 3,000 pieces of wood, made by Clarkson, a forger; and a curious bottle, containing a miniature tree, on whose branches sit gayly colored birds. This rreo was made in pieces by a- famous crook named Joe Coveyeau with a broken bladed jack knife and a piece of wire and put together inside the bottle. Detroit News. Coax ting- Without Snow. Many of the streets of Astoria, Oregon, are as precipitous as those of our rugged New England, and furnish ample grades for tho prosecution of that old pastime, sliding down hilL Snow seldom if ever falls, but the cli mate is so moist that, at the freezing point, nights and mornings, a thick coat of wlii to frost covers tho planked road ways, which are turned into extempore toboggan slides. The amusement ia so enjoyable that it is kept up into tho small hours of the morning by old and young, the speed attained frequently exceeding that of the ordinary rauway train. Scientific American.
