6 HAS NOTHING TO SAY. Mr. Chamberlain Has Nothing: to Offer in Answer to Sen ator Voorhees. Senator Ingalls Will Give the Distinguished Foreigner a Turning- Over. The Carlisle Contest Case Postponed to Allow the . Speaker to Reply. Mrs. Cleveland's Reception Attended by a Brilliant Company. HAS NOTHING TO SAY. Mr. Chamberlain Has Nothing to Say in Answer to Senator Voor hees. Washington. Jan. 7.— The Post.com nieuting upon Senator|Yoorhees' crit icism of Mr. Chamberlain's conduct on the floor of the senate on Wednesday last, while the senator was delivering his tariff speech, says: "In order that Senator Voorhees' accusation might not tret ahead of any explanation or defense that Mr. Chamberlain might feel in clined to offer, a reporter waited on the Right Hon. gentleman yesterday and invited him to reply, but he had no reply to make. He simply smiled rather con temptuously at Senator Voorhees' words as be read them and said. "No, 1 have nothing to saw" The rapping of the travel on the 'table of the senate | Wednesday showed that Senator Ingalls | regarded Mr. Chamberlain as out of order. But the rapping of the gavel i was nothing compared with the rapping I which Senator Ingalls may be expected j to give to the distinguished foreigner, with his keen, biting tongue, in the j senate on a very early day. Senator i Ingalls had met Mr.Chamberlain before j Wednesday. lb- has had opportunities of meeting him frequently at state din ners and other similar occasions, when the ambassador tried in vain to con vince the senator his occasional orator- j ical shots at John Bull were based on a misconception or a want of knowledge. This sort of argument, as might be ex pected, had not had the effect of con vincing or converting the senator, and he will take an early opportunity on the floor of the senate of saying so and giv ing his version of the "blood is thicker than water" sentiment. CARLISLE'S SEAT. The Case Postponed to Allow Mr. Carlisle an Opportunity to Make Formal Reply. Washington, Jan. The commit tee on elections, after a brief secret con ference to-day, postponed the Thoebe- Carlisle contested election ease until next Saturday, in order to give Mr. Carlisle an opportunity to make formal reply if he choose to the affidavits sub mitted by the contestant. The commit tee has notified the various counsels in the other contested cases to appear on Friday next, so that days may be named for the consideration of the cases. The following letter was laid before the com mittee: Hon. C. F. Crisp, Chairman Commit tee on Elections. Dear Sir: I learn from the proceedings of your committee that an application has been made by counsel for contest to reopen the case and allow additional testimony to be taken, and as 1 have had time only to glance hastily at the affidavits filed in support of this request, I beg leave to suggest that it would be proper not to decide the matter finally until I can have a reasonable opportunity to ex amine the papers and, if necessary, file affidavits. So far; as the affidavits charge or intimate any improper con duct on my part in reference to the elec tion, either before or after it was held, I am ready now to contradict them in a most positive manner by my own affi davits. But there are other things in the paper of which I cannot have per sonal knowledge, and which, if left un answered, might produce an erroneous impression upon the minds of the com mittee. Please present this note to the committee. I will, of course, be en tirely satisfied with any course the com mission may choose to take, but it seems that, under the circumstances, 1 ought to have an opportunity to care fully examine the papers and take such steps as may be thought proper before the application now pending is dis posed of. Very respectfully, J. G. Carlisle. Mrs. Cleveland's Reception. Washington, Jan. 7.— Mrs. Cleve land's first afternoon reception of the season took place between "> and 5 to day. It was very brilliant and very largely attended. Mrs. Cleveland was assisted in receiving the many guests who called by Mrs. Ingalls and a half score of pretty young girls, among them Miss Endieott, Miss Bayard and Miss Vilas. The leaders of official and social life of the capital mingled with the well-dressed crowd. Every one re ceived a warm hand-clasp and cordial words of greeting. Toward the close of the - reception Mrs. Cleveland poured tea. What might have been a serious accident was averted by the presence of mind and prompt action of the fair hostess. W idle lifting the kettle with a long fringed napkin the fringe caught fire from the spirit lamp. The napkin was all ablaze in an instant, the bosom lace work .of Mrs. Cleveland's gown curled with the heat. She dashed the napkin on the floor and vigorously stamped it with a shapely foot till the last spark disappeared. The incident was over before a friend could assist her, and, as a prominent member of congress said: "You have added an other worthy trait to your list, Mrs. Cleveland— that of bravery." Our Postoflice Site. ipor-inl to the Globe. Washington, Jan. 7.— The .land- on. Fifth street, between Washington and Market, which was tendered to the gov ernment for a public, building in St. Paul, cannot be immediately accepted. The secretary of the treasury to-day wrote a letter to Edmund Rice inform ing him that the department cannot use tlie site without the authority of con gress. Rice says: "I have not yet re ceived the letter but anticipate it. I expect to introduce a bill Monday authorizing the secretary of the treas ury to accept the land. I don't expect that anyone will object to permitting the government to receive $100,000 worth of real estate." Officials in the office of the supervising architect of the treasury express great pleasure with the liberal ity of St. Paul in the matter. Special Agent Linton says that few cities dis play such enterprise. He is a man who knows all about such matters and his commendation means considerable. J- '■'. \'_ Brags and Stockslager.

Washington, Jan. 7.— The house committee on territories to-day adopted a rule providing that hereafter all dele gations desiring to appear before the committee shall submit their views and claims in writing, and not orally, as has been the practice heretofore. . On Men- I day next a special meeting will he held to hear a delegation- headed by Gov. Ross, of New Mexico, which will urge upon congress some speedy legislation for the final adjudication of Spanish and Mexican land claims in New Mexico. FOR GIRLS WHO SCRIBBLE. Counsel to Those Who Deluge Ed itors With Many Manuscripts. Laura C. llullowny in the Brooklyn Union. "It is partly because of the new activ ity of Southern women,'' she said, "and partly, 1 suppose, because I am a South erner myself, but a large proportion of my letters come from the South. These letters are, for the most part, earnest and strong appeals for guidance, and in every instance, without exception, the desire is expressed of coming to New York and seeking employment on the best known magazines, weeklies or dailies. Invariably I answer discourag ing this plan, and "advising aspirants to write lor their home publications. Many send me manuscripts, and such dainty ones, scented with Florida water or lavender leaves, come to me sometimes that 1 return them at once, fearing the effect upon their owner's nerves, in case the story or poem should be refused by some hard-hearted publisher. One woman sent me three novels; another a novel and a play, and a third mailed me thirty poems, mostly on birds and flow ers, The labor of returning such man uscript is great, beside the tiresome ne cessity of replying to many of the let ters." "And what counsel do you give the would-be literateurs?" "My advice is always to persevere until the writer is absolutely convinced thai she has no talent for her work and the proof will be found in her ability or failure to sell what she writes. If 1 discover a specially good contributor 1 counsel the right publication to try, and sometimes I do what lies in my newer to start a bright girl on her way. There are other difficulties though than those of producing good matter. I have in mind a young woman in North Carolina who sent me a story and a play, which latter 1 passed on to Mr. Daly for con sideration. She wrote me that she saw no possible use in persevering in her efforts since she could not afford to write a single short story, even if she had the certain prospect of its being accepted ami mud for, for the price | for which people could buy a whole set of Dickens or Thackery. The lack, of an international copyright and the cheap reproduction of English novels are tre mendous obstacles to the success of na tive writers." "But suppose your young aspirant re fuses to be daunted," 1 questioned, "what is it possible to say to her then?" "There are more : women writing to day than ever before in the world's his tory, and for those who mean to be workers and give their best years to the business there is a field. In this as in all careers success depends upon the character and motives of the worker, and lam sorry to say that the majority of young women who ask me to lend them a hand are wholly unprepared to meet the requirements of the calling. But disinclination to begin in the right way is their fault, and it is one not wholly confined to women. Young men — the weak ones of any age— are given to the idea that however much other people may have delved they are to reach at one bound the reputation and pecuniary success they desire. To all to whom I write at j all 1 repeat the old truism that there is ample room at the top, and there is much credit in striving in that direction." ■*■» WHAT MEN SHOULD WEAR. Winter Styles for the Male Sex, as Outlined, by New York Tailors. A well-known New York tailor says he is making most of his evening dress suits of small wale diagonal worsteds. Many of his customers prefer the shawl collar. The vest in general favor, is of the above cloth, self embroidered about the collar, down the edge and over the pockets. Four buttons are popular. Trousers are cut medium, nineteen to twenty inches knee, and ; show the side stripes of silk braid, these being from one-quarter to one inch wide, according to taste. . He finds a growing demand for white vests for evening dress.' He is making them up in embroidered silks and embroidered piques. For middle-aged and elderly men the broadcloth coat and vest, and doeskin trousers continue as of old, except that occasionally soutache braiding appears on the vest. - Orders for the evening dress sack are not numerous. It is made mainly from diagonals with lons shawl silk faced collar. For formal day entertainments the coat favored at "this house is the Prince Albert in fine wale diagonal silk faced, flat braided and closed with four buttons. The skirts end at a point just above the knee. The vest is of the same cloth, and cut with notch collar. The trousers are cassi mere in medium light grounds with modest down stripes. A coat affected for day wear at the club, etc., is the three-button cutaway in dead finish diaeonel, either black or blue. The vest worn with this coat is of some fancy material, and the trousers are either striped or checked, the pat tern being quite pronounced. Stripes prevail in business suits made through out from one piece, but it is not un likely, that plaids and checks will take the lead in this direction next season. A smart-looking four-button cutaway for business wear has the soft roll front. Only the top button is used. A fashion able combination in a business suit is a black rough cheviot coat and - vest with fancy casimere trousers, either checked or striped. A favorite outfit for horseback exer cise is a three-button cutaway of black melton, the skirts cut clear to the sad dle. The vest is of the same goods as the coat, and the trousers are of brown mixed whip-cord, with straps for boots. ■ To Save Doctor's Bills. New York Mail and Express.

Lord Randolph Churchill Will Make a Strong Fight for His Old Seat. His First Move Will Be to Make an Attack Upon His ■ Successor's Budget. A Deceptive Calm Now Pre vails in German Diplo matic Circles. Despite Semi-Official Assur ances Preparations for War Continue. ;. ='■ V*S ?■'■■'- Copyright Cable to the Globe. London, Jan. Politicians of all classes are returning from their Christ mas holidays in good spirits and good temper. The government are satisfied that their majority in the house of com mons is secure'- and the Unionists are confident that they can maintain Lord Salisbury in office, and by staving off a dissolution defer their own political ex tinction. The Liberals feel that time is on their side and that every month which passes brings back old adherents who have wandered away, cementing the union of the party and exhibiting the ugliness of triumphant Toryism in j a clearer light. There is only one polit- | ical corner in which there is any active j discontent.and that is the nook in which | Lord Randolph Churchill dwells, sur rounded by a clique of toadies and | henchmen, lie has never gotten over i the bitter mortification he experienced a year ago on finding that his vacant chair of the exchequer was to be filled, not by some Conservative nonentity, whom from an independent position he could bully to his heart's content, or worry with the abhorrent criticism of the candid friend, but by yy the BUST financier barring Mr. Gladstone, of the day, and a man whose tenacity of power is proof against all the assaults of the enemy. From the duy he found Mr. Goschen was his successor till now, Lord Randolph Churchill has sedulously sought to re gain the position which in a fit of ill temper he flung away. All the year he has played the part of the convinced economist, who couid not bring, his sensitive conscience te impose warlike" burdens on poor taxpayers, but who de sired the success of the Conservative government rather more sincerely than his own. This submissive and dutiful line has succeeded but indifferent!y,and Lord Randolph will soon exchange it for UOBJE PUGNACIOUS TACTICS. What form the intense vindictiveness, which is the most salient feature in his 7 character, will actually assume remains of course uncertain. What is certain, : however, is that he will not long permit : those who, by opposing his designs and accepting his resignation, have inflicted on him a year's exclusion from office to lead a lifeof unvexed tranquillity on the treasury bench. He intends attacking his successor's budget and to ' frustrate : Lord Salisbury's plans for co-operating with Prince Bismarck's league of peace. No mawkish tenderness for Lord Salis bury, no romantic loyalty to the Union-: ist cause, no sentimental regard for the Conservative party will deter Lord Ran dolph from whatever course of action may best conform to his own political or ' personal designs. The more effectually he can embarrass the Tory cabinet, and the sooner he can, upset them,. the bet- J ter he will be pleased. Orthodox t Con-' servative circles scout the assertion I that Lord Salisbury, with his habitual ' feebleness under long-continued press ure, will seek to "buy off his Danes" and avert the wrath of his former col league by inviting him to return. A close friend of .Lord Salisbury in speak ing upon this latter matter to-day, said: : "A FKKSII DISPUTE HAS OCCURRED 7 between Lord Salisbury and his former lieutenant, and the prospect of Lord Randolph's return to the ministry has ' again become somewhat remote. It is beyond doubt that a month ago a rap prochement took place, which might have had important results if both sides had been earnestly desirous of concilia tion. Lord Randolph's speeches in the country had been as loyal to the minis try as could be wished, and much more loyal than had been expected ; and, on the other hand, his former colleagues were prepared to make important con cessions to his views, especially in the matter of departmental economy. With regard to the vexed question of land purchase, Lord Hartington himself, who, in conjunction with Mr. Goschen, is primarily responsible for pressing this question forward, is credited with having undertaken Lord Randolph's conversion. At first, more suo, the ex chancellor of the exchequer gave signs of being tractable, but he suddenly re sumed his old attitude on land purchase, and, worse still, showed a disposition to make conditions as to the general com position of the ministry. This is an OLD BONE OF CONTENTION between Lord Salisbury and Lord Randolph, and the matter is one in re gard to which the- prime minister will suffer no interference with his discre tion. The rapproehment is consequently followed by a rebound which has made the gulf between Lord ' Randolph and the government wider than ever. It may possibly be the means of upsetting the government. The cabinet will meet again next week to consider expected dispatches from Mr. Chamberlain re garding the fishery question. It is stated that Mr. Chamberlain will communicate the expression of Lord Salisbury's re gret that the commissioners have not succeeded in settling the difficulty which it is hoped may be speedily referred to arbitration for a compulsory arrange ment. Meanwhile the feeling among ministerialists is that Mr. Chamberlain's mission has been eminently useful in removing him from England at a time when Lord Hartington could, with con sequently greater freedom and success, be seen in more complete harmony with the government, y'-ry A DECEPTIVE CALM. German Diplomatic Circles Say the Calm -Which Now Exists is - Very Deceptive.- ' iyyy. Berlin, Jan. 7.— A calm, which offi cial and diplomatic circles know to be deceptive, prevails for the moment. The Austrian and Russian governments have exchanged assurances of peace aspira tions, to which nobody attaches the slightest importance. The only actual change in the situation tending toward peace is the active resumption of nego tiations between Count Kalnoky, the Austrian foreign minister, and Prince Lobanoff, the Russian embassador at Vienna, for the settlement of the bal ance of power in the Balkan peninsula' This^niitigates the crisis and removes the danger of war. at • least for the pres ent; but it does not modify any of the essential differences between the two governments. The negotiations are ex pected by both sides to end in an exact definition of their respective demands, such as heretofore has not ex isted, and from " winch may bo. obtained a valid' excuse for war. According to a semi-official dispatch received from Vienna to-night, - Prince Lobanoff has opened the diplo matic - campaign, by proposing as . the. first step toward an entente the removal of Prince Ferdinand from the throne of Bulgaria under a joint mandate of the powers; the election of a new prince by a new sobranje, and the reappointment of Russian officers to the Bulgarian army. The proposal specifies that the new prince be a member of the orthodox Greek church, and the . so branje so elected as to enable Russia to recognize it as being legally constituted. In the meantime the foreign office here holds aloof from the negotiations, which: are recognized 7as feelers by Russia J toward other demands. The czar's min isters already know that Count Kalnoky; will not admit that the Berlin treaty 1 gives Russia any special right to - y.M v IJXTEItFKHE IN BIILOAUIA. They know, also, that it is impossible to obtain from the powers a joint man-; date. Baffled on these points, Russia 1 will next raise a new question on Aus trian retention of Bosnia and Herzefeb vinia. These provinces were occupied;; ' under a purely temporary title, but are ' now practically annexed. Austria will J be called upon, to evacuate them, and It] s is probable that the question! of their, future administration will be referred ; to a conference of the powers. An os- ! tensible casus belli, it Is anticipated, will arise over Austria's refusal to di- * vide the Balkans. The lines of St. Petersburg diplomacy tend to a pro- : " tracted exchange of views, thus assist ing the plans of the Russian strategists, ! who are unwilling to risk war until the summer. ; No time would be given 11 to Russia to complete her preparation^, if Bismarck had a free hand. But the.di- ! visions within the imperial family are increasing; the weakness of the em- c peror and the renewed activity of Uie J anti-Bismarckian court combine to en-' J feeble .and retard the development of the German policy. Only the deter mination of Austria can now „ . l-HECiriTATE AWAK. : If the Kolnoky government is too timid to cut short the negotiations and de mand the reason for the concentration' of Russian troops on the frontier, Rus sia can select her time for a rupture. Meanwhile, despite the semi-official as surances to the contrary, war prepara tions progress on either side. The War saw arsenal is working day and night. At Kovno ■ more extensive earthworks and detached forts are being con structed, and the defenses of lvan-Gor vel are being armed with heavy guns.' Cracow papers report that the Russians are erected a bridge at the junction, of the Don with the Vistula, forming there' also a cavalry camp. They also report that 4,000 'ambulance beds were dis tributed last week among the stations? on the Vistula line. A military bureau; ' has been established at Piotrkoff and the valuables, pictures and art treas ures in the imperial residences in Po land are being removed to the interior of Russia. ;. .-yy 77. y : : 7.77; : - . ; ' THE !

The latest intelli gence', from San ;Remo is reassuring. Dr. Telschow, one of the German court : physicians, .who has just left the side of his illustrious patient, reports that, the appearance and general condition of the crown prince are excellent, and so. confirms the optimistic announcements': which have been made by Sir'Morrell • Mackenzie.' With this good news comes : a revival' of the' sinister rumor that there ' is a party' in Germany to whom . the re ports are not .quite . welcome. Accord-' ing to the Tageblatt, a journal of "considerable repute and influence, there-*' is a clique 'of courtiers at Berlin who. smile significantly when the bulletins augur ill, and who exhibit much im patience when they are so hopeful as those of J the"past week. These per sons; - who •. are > the foremost among the war parly desire, so says the Tage blatt, the abdication of the crown prii|<;e in. favor of his fire-eating son. Tin's : same organ declares that endeavors are ! being made to induce the sufferer to un dergo an operation— even; t^e \ German doctors attending him now pro- . fess to entertain grave doubts as to the i cancerous character of the disease, and | as to .the necessity for its surgical treat- j ment in the hope that he may. J ' PERISH I'NDKH THE KNIFE. &* ■ It is hard to believe that there is evten 1 a modicum of truth in. these statements, '. and yet the anxiety expressed by the ; .crown prince that the. news of his ijui- - proved condition should be spread jar and wide justifies the presumption tl-a j his illness . has been used -in a maimer i which ris 7 causing the patient some i anxiety, The Nati.eual 4Zeitu.ng i strongly deprecates*.- the insinuations , made by the Tageblatt, but by no means j disposes the, belief that tin* is a foundation for them iii fact. Then the Neve Freie Presse, regarding the sub ject from a totally different . point of view, arrives at the same .conclusions as those adopted by ■>; the .Tageblatt. There seems no doubt that there is a band of young. bloods in Berlin who re semble very much, in their impatience for a war, the . Derouledists in Paris, whose, hands are ever on the . " '* .r KILTS OE THEJUB SWORDS, and whose tongues are ever clamoring for La Revanche. The leader and hero of these precipitate patriots is Prince William, whose warlike speech to the red husssrs awoke sympathetic throbs In their * hearts. Their admiration of him is founded upon the knowledge - that he hates' the French with an implacable hatred; and that he impatiently awaits an opportu nity to repeat the scenes of 1871. Fortu nately the possibility that the opportun ity will soon arrive is becoming more remote, if the reports from San Remo do not exaggerate the truth about the crown prince's condition . The strong est guarantee for the continued mainte nance of peace between Germany and France is in' the crown prince's pacific predispositions, and it is on that account that they who wish the fatherland well welcome every item of good news which comes to them from the invalid at San Remo. Jubilee Offerings. By Cable to the Globe. London, Jan. ; 7.— The catalogue of the offerings presented . to the pope on the occasion of his jubilee is. in course of preparation.

I j About 1 p. m. yesterday an alterca tion took place upon the sidewalk in front of No. 314 South Main street, Still water, between John Gillespie and Fay ette; Marsh, in which the latter was knocked down and had his jaw broken. -The immediate cause of. the quarrel ap- . pears to. have been something in con nection with a law suit now pending in .which Mr. Marsh desired the appoint ment of counsel to succeed Levi Thomp son, deceased. Some words ensued upon which Mr. Gillespie struck Mr. Marsh, . knocking him down and jumping upon him. The combatants were parted by those who rushed to the spot, and upon examination Mr. Marsh was : found to ; have sustained a fracture '.ofy the ■ jaw. Later in the afternoon Mr. Marsh began a civil suit against his assailant, claim ing damages in the sum of $10,000. The matter created considerable excitement, as the gentlemen are both prominent business men, Mr. Marsh being an at torney of more than local prominence, while Mr. Gillespie is a lumberman and quite extensive real estate owner. The case will probably be brought to trial at the next regular term of the district court. A criminal prosecution was begun in the : municipal court yesterday after noon against .John Cillispie for assault and battery. The defendant . gave bail in the sum of $1,000 for his appearance J Monday morning. ; . . Chief Matt Shortall left last evening for Alexandria, with a warrant for the arrest of one, F. W.

His capture was effected by means of a telegram sent to the marshal at Alex andria by Chief Shortall. ■ Mitchell was discharged from the penitentiary about one year ago, having served a two years' sentence for horsestealing. He at once opened an office in this city and began the practice of medicine, claim ing to be a graduate of a Canadian med ical school. Not. being registered . ac cording to law, the medical board got after him and he left here ostensibly -for his former home, -returning; soon after .with what purported to be a diplo ma from the Met-} ill Medical college of Montreal, but which afterward proved to be a rank forgery. About this time he " became • dissolute, consorting j with disreputable characters, and:, being at one" time arrested for frequenting a dis reputable house.

Republican. A young countryman who had long loved a girl who lived a mile or .. two • from him was nearly in , despair about winning her hand, arid was on' the cve ■ of selling out and leaving, the country, as the girl had refused him "three times . and it was out that she was engaged to another fellow. Our hero had noticed that his rival and the girl .would walk in an old meadow field, nearly every afternoon, and he. grew madly, jealous. Among his cattle he had a young bull that was always mad .with everything J but his master, because 'he was an es pecial pet. Now Dave, as he called the bull, was to be the object with which to satiate his revenge. -lie would turn him into the meadow, hide himself, and see his rival tossed like a football. So one afternoon, calling ■• to V* Dave, who would follow ■'■. him 'like- a .doc*,. he repaired to the meadow, let the fence down, and turned the bull in. ; He then strolled off and walked around as miserable as a man could be who was committing an evil deed. An hour or so later he heard the deep mtit terings of the bull, and, hastening to the meadow fence, he saw Dave about twenty yards from the couple, pawing dirt and shaking his head. The man was trying to get the girl to run, but she was so terrified that she could not move. The bull made a dash and the fellow ran, shrieking, to the fence. The bull dashed on after the dying fellow, while our disconsolate young man, hav ing jumped the fence, rushed to the girl as the bull dashed on after the fugi tive rival, and, catching her in his arms, told her such a coward was unworthy of her. As Dave saw his young jnaster he left off pursuing the other man, returned and went to licking his ha n, while the indignant girl vowed she would never more speak to a man that was afraid of a cow. She soon after married Dave's boss. .■'::7:yyy.yyr's:y : DAYLIGHT. "Where in the Wide World Does It Actually Begin? The succession of day and night de pends on the rotation of the earth on its axis, and since the earth is of a globular shape, it is evident that the whole of its surface cannot be turned toward the sun at one and the same moment; in other words, that it cannot be noon all over the earth at once, says Chambers' Journal. A little thought will show that whenever it is noon at any one place it is midnight oh the opposite side of the earth, and at the different places between all the times of day are at one and the same moment to be found. Take a particular example to make this, clearer. When it is noon at London, the countries exactly ou the opposite side of the earth— say New Zealand and it's neighborhood— are turned directly away from the sun, and therefore have a mid night. Paris, being a little further east than London, will have been brought directly under the sun a little earlier— that is to say,at London noon, Paris noon has been gone a few minutes. Goto Egypt and Constantinople, further east; their noon has been gone an hour or two. Further on, again, India is approaching her eventide, and China and Japan have already sunk into darkness. Turn your face west, however, across the Atlantic; you. will find our American cousins have not yet reached their midday: in fact, are thinking in New York about breakfast, and out West in California are hardly yet getting up. Still to the west we come round again in New Zealand, where the day— which was only just dawning in Cali fornia—which was high noon at London and afternoon in India— this same day, say the Ist of July is, as we saw, on the eve of departing altogether, give place to a new one, the 2d of July. It is clear then, that while the Ist is still young in America, and long before it is over even in England, the 2d will be well started in New Zealand and countries in that longitude, J and will come round the world from east to west, as all its prede cessors have done. : The question then arises— where did this day, the 2d of July, first begin? It was not in America,for we saw the folks there just about to rise on the Ist. Yet it was beginning in New Zealand. There fore it must be either in New Zealand or. some place between there and Amer ica. The fact is that there is no defined place where the day can be said to ap pear first of all. Civilization Originally spread from east to west across the Old world, and then across the New, carry ing its calendar with it. The day came from the east and traveled across to the west, and no one asked whence it orig inally came or where it ultimately died. Thus, the common usage, treating the day as first appearing in the Old world and then proceeding to the New, left no place for the new day's birth except the wide Pacific ocean, and when traffic began to cross the ocean and the ques tion, was forced upon men's minds, a sort of understanding was arrived at that the day should be deemed to begin there. — — ; "■*■»- V.;,. Northern Pacific Patents. Helena, Mont., Jan. Mining men of Montoua are becoming alarmed over the fact that a vast majority of the pub lic land' in the territory is being classed by United States surveyors as agricult ural, thus allowing it to be claimed by the Northern Pacific railroad under their grant. Concerted action is being taken to apprise the general land office of the real facts in the "case. The Hel ena board of trade has sent a communi cation to the secretary of the interior reciting the facts and praying that the patents to the Northern Pacific railroad for lands in the mountainous districts of Montana be withheld for sixty days. y^y Chips From the Ties. Trains on nearly all the Western and Northwestern lines were late yesterday. The Northern Pacific encountered very heavy drifts, and trains on that road were many hours late. The Manitoba was in about the same fix. The Eastern and Southern lines were also delayed a good deal, though nothing compared to the Western roads.

The women in Russia do two-thirds of the work in the country. There are im mense wheat, oat and hay fields every where, and in August there is great ac tivity in the country. The large majority of persons at work are women. They wear short dresses, plain and straight, and a long piece or cloth over their heads, like Arabs. The wheat is sown broadcast, and if not cut by the women with sickles is harvested with the old fashioned * scythe, which has a two-pound snead . and a broad, short blade. From the snead up to the handle there is a wooden bow something like, in appearance, the half of a heavy bar rel hoop. This bow keeps the wheat, etc., from falling back over the scythe handle and scattering. I have never yet seen a man who would deign to gather up, hind and stack the wheat or oats when once *. it was . felled. The women must do this while the men do the "gentlemanly" work, although I have seen many women cutting grain with the scythe. The neighbors club together in harvest and help one an other..-; . ; •. 7 r7y-7yyr , :r : yyyyy A California Sermon. Christian Advocate. •A correspondent from Tuscarora, Nev., sends us an account of a sermon he heard in California from an illiterate preacher of an obscure denomination. Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac was his subject, and he dwelt particularly on the pathetic features of the narrative. The changes were rung on the grief of Abraham at offering '*his son, his only son." "As they were comin' to the place Isaac says, "My father, 'an' Abra ham says, 'Here am I, my son,' an' Isaac says, -Behold the wood an' the fire' "—{at this point the old preacher choked with the excess of his feelings and was forced to begin again)—" 'Be hold the wood an' the fire, but whar is the critter?'
