Pour War Ships Ordered Ready. "Washington, Dec 8. Action has been taken by Secretary Whitney which leaves cu doubt as to the policy of this govern mcnt with regard to the caee of the Am erican steamer Uaytien Republic, recently siczed at Hurt Au-lrince.- The release of the ship has been demanded through the proper diplomatic channels, and if the demand is not complied with, within rean:ible period of time, steps will be taken to enforce it. Secretary Whitney Thursday sent telegraphic instructions to Hear Admiral Uhered, commander of the New York navy yard, to have the ships Richmond, Galena nd Yantic prepared for sea as soon as possible. The idea is to have thrm ready so that they can sai direct forlluyti earlv next week. Orders have also been issued for Hear Admiral Luce, commanding the North Atlantic squadron, to transfer his flag from the the Galena to the Richmond, and to use that vessel as his flagship of the expedi tion. The ollicers of the state department are as usual reticent on the subject, and will not even admit that the release of tiie " Ilaytian Republic has !cen de manded. Secre'ary Whitney, yesterday morning, admitted frankly that he had oraenu three vessels to c got ready as soon as possible to start for Havti. He added that the Haytien authorities had referred the case of the seizing of the steamer to this government. " " We have reached a decision and that in short is that they have got to give them up. It is unfortunate that the fever broke out on the Boston while she was at Port-au Prince and compelled her to leave that climate, the mutter iniuht have been set tled before now." JJoston, Dec. 8. Orders have Wen re ceived from Washington for all naval recruits at Charleston navy yard to pro ceed nt once to New York. One hundred and forty-four of them left at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

The engine, tender and two box cars of freight No. '.10, on the St. Joe and Grand Island rail f jroad, ran out of a switch caielessly left open at the east end of the yard at this place at S o'clock last evening, and the engine landed on a small bridge , break ing through the tits, necessitating a de lay sufficient o build up under the struc ture before an attempt was made to pull the engine off, and this laid out passen ger No. 2, east bound, for several hours, the engine of that train giving aid to No. 20. At 10 p. ni. the work of block ing up the bridge still proceeds, with a prospect that the lay out will last some time yet. FOREIGN FLASHES. The Widowed Empress. LoiKx, Dec. 8.

Bowles Passes Through the Ordeal of a Cross-Examination. Geneva, 111., Dec. 8.- The first thing done in the Burlington conspiracy cose was the introduction of the dynamite catridges, fuse and fulminating capo pur chased by Bowles with Baurlescn's money and unaer ins instructions, these were identified by Bowles, who baa resumed the witness tand in direct examination. The cross-examination was then begun by Dan Donohoe, of Chicago, and lasted until the adjournment of the court. This ordeal did not cause Bowles to con tradict himself in the least as to the main facts in his testimony, though in several minor details he pleaded forgetfulness. He denied very emphatically the charge sought to be made by the attorney that he had been promised immunity by the railroad company for his testimony. When the court adjourned it was until Monday at 1 o'clock. A New Cable- Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 8.

Itomauitlo Spot by Lake and River. The Odd and Interesting- Peoplo One May See. In New Orleans we bury in ovens alove ground to escape the waters on which our city floats; in St. Martinsville there are dungeons of underground cellars; and in one parish the snows are orange blossoms, and in another they fall from heaven itself. In the Acadian country, when a ball is to be, a courier carries a flag and rides over all the country shout ing out like a town crier in the olden days the summons to the fete. In Cro oledoni a young girl dead is borne to her grave by white veiled "death maidens," and in Acadia the very horses wear amu lets to charm away the "gri-gri." There are out of the way littlo inns in Louisiana where the cooking is as good as at Del- monico s nay, better. Who would not go a-swamping if only the way was shown him? How many tourists would be proof against a day at Spanish lake. or a night's alligator hunt on the, Atcha- falaya? What Floriuian scenery can equal our Tchefuncta? There is a street in .Dublin onjy a few blocks long said to be the finest street in the world: and there is a river in Louisiana onlv navi gable for a little way tliat for beauty, for color or environment, is more tinely picturesque and lovely than miles of the Thames, the Rhine, the Arkansas or the Hudson. NATURE APPEALS TO THE ARTIST. Nature in Louisiana anneals to the art- 1st, to the poet, to the photographer, to the tourist, who is none of these in prac tice, yet all and more in love with the beautiful. There is an indescribable ..... - charm in the softness of our lakes, the serene, deep beauty of our bayous, the spienaor or our forests, the cavctv and grace ana u veiy ufe or our plantations. Every village has its inn, its traditions, its accessible gossip, its peculiar local customs, too pronounced to escape the interested looker on. tiere you will hnu the big plantation, the fine house over run with pickaninnies, the royal wel come, the never failing hospitality. Thero you will find the adobe nut, the squalid tamales maker. Here you will find the voudou witch workine charms: there you will find ma belle Creole making a noveiia before her saint and Dravine for a nusoanu. mere you win meet a pa tient, farm laboring friar or hear the dirgclike chant of the entombed Carmellite nuns. One day you may stand under an oranire tree ireisrhted with 10,000 golden globes of fruit; an other day you may climb up a Ladder into the perch of the swamper or down a shaft mto a salt mine far below the sur face. Ours is a pastoral country, as pastoral as England. All is gentle and serene and matured and full of soft repose. the flowers and even uelds, the still for ests, the waveless bayous, the rich crops and the lowing kino all appeal to the home side or nature.

THE ITINERANT SHOWMAN. uut in the woods ana by the river a brim, the cheap circus people, traveling in caravans or in cay painted barges drawn by tiny tugs, erect their tents; peddlers plod about in heavy blue hacks; a gypsy fortune teller, her baby swung on her back, stealthily creeps up and whispers a wish to have her hand crossed with silver; an evil Arab slinks by under the Cherokee rose hedge leading a dancing bear. He gets out of the way for the eentleman planter trottinar bv in his dog cart. Under the pent roof in the Teche country, in the tiny hut made on the gulf islands of wrecked ship's timbers, in the fine old country mansion, a palace in the old days, there burns the inextin guishable torch of genial hospitality. Likti the Spanish tla house pwner greets the new comer with that gracious warmth and gives him not only the best he has but all he has. Catharine Cole in New Orleans Picayune. An Enterprising; Crow. Farmer Crowder had finished planting hiii mm lint his hrnrt nrxn hniTT FTa knew the crows were hptting their bills to pull up the corn as Boon as it appeared above the surface. "I tell you how to get away with the crows, said JNeighbor btokes. "How?" "Get you a gallon of mean whisky and soak some corn in it till it gets full of the stuir, and then scatter it broadcast in the held. The black rascals wiLj eat it ana get arunK, ana men you can eaten em and pull their heads off. That beats pizen or ahootinV" In a few days Farmer Crowder met his friend Stokes. "Well, how's crapsT queried Stokes. "JIv corn's bodaciously mint," replied Crowder, dolefully. "I tried that 'ere scheme o' your'n. and it's a humbug. I 6oaked the corn and scattered it one day, the fuss down nigh the branch, and went to see what it was; thar was a dad-blasted I pld crow what had gathered up all the whisky corn an had H on a stump, an' he was retailin' it out to the others. givin' 'em one grain o' that sort fur three grains o' my planted corn; and dinged ef they hadn t clawed up that held by sec tions."

A conceited young lawyer made a "spread eaglo" speech" in a Missouri court, and falling in with the judge the next day, he said to him: "Good morning, Judge Lucas! good morning, Birl What did vou think of my littlo effort yester day?"

Dry Leaves Are Valuable. America is the land of plenty, and it is as weii tne land of waste. Many Euro peans would become wealthy on what our people throw away or neglect en tirely. In many European countries, as soon as the forest and tree leaves turn and the high winds begin to scatter them pver the ground, the joor people turn out ad gather them up as carefully as they would a crop of fruit or vegetables. The small farmers purchase those leaves, at prices unproportionately high, and use them for fertilizing purposes. Leaves io those countries are regarded as valuable property, and thoso who gather them without permission and take theru off are prosecuted, fined or imprisoned. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Interesting Discovery. An archa?oloirical discoverv of some interest has been made in tho tidal river Hamble, near Botley Hants. A boat house is being built at the point of the junction of the Curdridge creek on tha river, some distance abpve tbe spot wher there is a still existing wreck of a Panish man-of-war. In moving the mud and alluvial soil to make sufficient waterwav something hard was encountered, which, on being carefully uncovered, proved to be a ixrtion of a prehistoric canoe.

Within a radius of forty miles of Rochester thero are more than 1,500 fruit evaporators. These evaporators give employment during the autumn and winter to about 80,000 hands, whose wages average from 5 to $12 a week. Last season the production of these evaporators was about 30,000.000 pounds. worth at lirst cost about S2.0OU.00Q.

West Africa and Australia cro also beginning to call for evaporated fruit. IHeuiuqnia, According to a medical contemporary. Or. Gouveneur L. Smith, of New York. has just given some interesting and startling fact3 in regard to pneumonia. Dr. Smith points out that the disease is becoming worse every year, increasing rather than decreasing, both in the num ber of cases and the iercentage of mor tality. The statistics of the Pennsyl vania hospital 6how that the mortality from pneumonia tbere advanced from CJper cent, in 1847 to 18J percent, in J06T, anq Jl per cent, in lbbl. Jbirnilarly, in the New York hospital the ratio of mortality from this dLase is more than double that it was in 1873, Tlurty or forty years ago it was regarded as seri ous, hut It did not excite anything like the alarm it does today. Dr. Smith is rather inclined to believe that the medical art, instead of progressing in its treatment of pneumonia, baa actually gone back, and holds that the methods of treating the disease at the time it was less deadly Iiave been abandoned for me thods more Unjcal, but less efficacious, Atlanta Constitution.
