- Sift pijaiig'iti0ti ifcilf if emik SECOND YEAU PL,ATTSJIOUTH, Ni;i;UASKA,FKIIAY EVENING, DECKMHEK 28, 1888, NUMIIKll An American Vessel Unjustly Treated by Spanish Officials. Philadelphia, Dec. 28. The brigan tiuo Jont ftt, which arrived here Tuesday from 3Iontego liny, Jamaica, while dis charging cargo on her outward trip from New York to Arroyo, Porto Itico, the Spanish custom officials discovered that twenty packages of cornstarch, which were marked on the vessel' manifest, were missing. The goods could not be lound, and the vessel waa seized by the Fpviiah authorities, who held her until a tln'of $4,000 was paid, although the value of the oods in question did not exceed $20. The master and crew had to suffer many indignities. After the fine had been payed it was ascertained that the missing goods were delivered by mistake on board tne ship Joseph us, which lay next to the Joscfa in New York. An explanation was made to the Spanish authorities, and a return of the Hue requested, but was refused. James lirctt, of New York, managing owner of the Josefa, has filed a complaint against the Spuiish government with Secretary Bayard, and asked that his immediate attention be given the matter. It will bo urged that the warships Galena and Yantic shall be ordered to continue their cruise to Porto Ilico and summarily se cure redress for the imposition suffered bv the Josefa. For Attempted Murder. CoLUMRCn, Neb., Doc. 2S. A. J Chirk, one of the city teachers, w. s taken be l' in justice Fuller, this morning on a coni plaiut brought by his son, a lad al-out fourteen years of age, charged with at tempting to take the life of his mother and the remainder of the family. Mrs. Clark states that last evening lie threat ened to take her life with a butcher knife in hand, that he struch one of the smaller children with his list inflicting an ugly wound. Mr. Clark came from Schuyler about three years ago and has been em ployed In the schools here since that time, lie has frequently been seen under the influence of liquor while teaching, and the attention of the school board has been called to the matter time and again be without avail. lie is a man fifty 1 years of age and the father of nino children. Ilotv i;t-hiiitrn Are flZadti. No Lr::n-1) of jirt within tht prist few yr::rs haaul traded tucli universal atten tion as tc!:in;j. The art cf etching is t;ot, a is xiiularlf BUMiosod, a new in vention, but the revival of an art in which Iicuibrandt and .U-rt Durer excelled. Tho proccT-.i by which an olcliin;; is made ia Ikl1i delicate and diiiicu.lt. It is ac complished by coating a copjier plato with a preparation of wax, Umii which tho artist truiVH with a sharp instrument, called the needlo or mint, the lines of his picture-. Tho plato b then immersed in acid, which oats into the lines laid bare by tho iu-ccili and the acid bath is rojcatod. Tho lines when sulTieieiitly bitten are stopped up with fuie l-'ivnc-h varnish. This process has been repeated more than fifty times in some plates leforo the proper effect of light and Kh.-ule was obtained. Etching ia really a drawing on a plate, thus giving the genuine work of the artist as much effect as in an oil painting. It u this absolute quality of art possessed by etchings, us distinguished from the purely mechanical methods of engraving, which gives to them their value. Iho ink used in printing is thick; tho plate is warmed by placing it on a heated marble slab, to that tho ink will flow freely enough to fill up all tho lines. After inking tho plato is rubbed clean, leaving tho ink only in the lines, except ing where certain cfiect3 of light and shades may be desired, not represented by the lines. These can bo obtained by tho skill cf the printer, who can produce beautiful e'.Tods by his manipulation of tho ink on the plate. There is a great diflercnco in plates in this respect, somo requiring much more skill to print thau others. Alter the plato is ready the paper, having first been danqoned, is placed on it and then covered with felt. Tho press consists of an iron bed, per fectly truo and level, for the plate to rest on, and an iron roller which passes over tho plate, exerting great pressure, so that the paper is forced into tho lines : of tho ptnte. After each impression tho plato is cleaaetl and inked av:-in. and tho i buuio process gor.o through with, bo that the printing of etchings cannot bo hur ried. To insure uniformity, a samplo print is before the printer to look at. inia is eitiier printed by tno etclier or i superintended by him. So great is the skill required to properly print etchings , that less than half a dozen printers in 1 the country liave won a reputation as being first class. Etchings are quite expensive, and often bring as high as S1.000. New York "Tho Duchess" is tho pseudonym of Mrs. Margaret nuiigerford, an Irish ladv, now living ia London. Ilunger ford is tho mime cf her second husband. Tho story runs that her. first husband, Mr. Argles, committed a forgery shortly after their marriage, was convicted and sent to jail. His wife, thrown upon tho world without any eource of livelihood, turned in despair to literature and pro duced her fli-st novel, "Phyllis," which proved a great euccesd. Ever since eha lias maintained herself handsomely by lier pen. Notes and Queries. Pre- United States War Vessels parinc; to Goto Samoa- New Yokk, Dec. 2. The Herald s Yashinton special says: At the navy department it is evident there ia somthiog in the recent advices received lrom the seat of war at Samoa not looked upon with faver by our goverment. The hur rying up of the work on the Vandalia and Mohican at tho Mare Island navy yard, so thy will be able to leave the yard next week in spite of the reduced appropriation, is evidence that the gover ment contemplates taking action. It is known among navy people that the Dol phin, now on her way aroud the world, had orders to stop at Apia, and a cipher dixpatcli was sent to her comanding offi cer Monday to Acanulco, Mexico, where the ship stopped for coal, to proceed to Samoa without delay. The tatc depart ment otJIcials are reticent when approach ed on the subject; enough has been ascer tained to warrant the opinion that presi-i-nt Cleveland and ItU advisers think y. irmany is going a trifle too fr. Affairs at Hayti. Nkw Yokk, Dec. 28. The World's special cable from a representative now at Port-au-Prince, Ilayti, states that the Ilaytian Republic is in good condition, and is only awaiting the arrival of a crew to take her to New York. The town is in a state of excitement induced by the celebration of the election of Le gitime. It is asserted that the French consul, who has throughout exhibited an undue amount of partisanship, has asked j bis government to quietly send a war ship or two here to help Legitime. The blood orange is a mere variety of the sweet orango obtained by culti vation, and appears first to have been raised by the Spanish gardeners ia the Philippine Islands, from the capital of which (Manila) it, together with the well known cigars, formed at one time one of the chief articles of export. On its first appearance in Europe it excited a considerable sensation, and, iu tho last century, very high prices were de manded for the trees which bore tho wonderful fruit None, however, now come to us from Manila, our supply being derived almost entirely from Malta, where great pains and attention are bestowed upon their cultivation.
