The scheme to put Mr. Sherman in Mr.
ZUcKinlcy's Cabinet in order to make a
place for Mr. Hnnna in the United States
Senate does not seem to be progressing
very rapidly; but the great Republican
manager will bo well provided tor, nil
the same.
The Texas is not the only unlucky war?
ship in the American navy. The cruiser
Boston has lately been baAIy strained by
running aground on the Coreau coast, ami
nt last accounts was leaking considera?
bly. The experts who hare been so ready
to condemn the namesake of the Lone
Star State had better make examina?
tions in other directions.
The recent earthquake in England was
a- veritable shaking-up of all parts of that
country, and will no doubt have a serious
effect OU the couttdeuco of the people in

social upheaval which will take place in
the united kingdom when Wales attempts
to enter upon his political inheritance.
The candidacy of Mr. Choatc for the
United States Senate will hardly break in
upon the plans of BossJPlntt. He has
New York Republican politics too
securely in his vest-pocket to be upset ;U
this late day by men who have had no ex?
perience in* manipulating voters. Mr,
Choatc- stands easily at the head of the
New York bar: but it does not follow
from this that lie has any chance of be?
ing elected United States Senator from
that State.
Maceo is dead, Maceo is alive. With
-the constant assertion that both of these

great mulatto soldier should show up in
lull vigor physically ami mentally: but
somehow we cannot help thinking that
lie has met a .soldier's fate, and will
never again lead the Cuban hosts to bat?

MEXICO AN!) T1IK RIO GRANDE.
American enterprise is disturbing our
neighbors across the Uio Grande, and if
tho Mexicans have their way it will cost
the United States Government n round
sum. Secretary Olney and Minister
Romero are busily engaged in discussing
a claim of the Mexican government for
indemnity for tlie diversion of the waters
of the Rio Grande by citizens of the
United States for irrigation purposes.
Minister Romero states in a long official
letter that the city of El Paso del Norte
has existed for more than three hundred
years, and during almost all of that time
until about ten years ago its people have
enjoyed tlie use of the waters of the Rio
Grande for Hie irrigation of their lands.
Since then a great many trenches have
been dug in Colorado and New Mexico,
through which the upper Rio Grande and
its affluents How, so greatly diminishing
tlie water in the river at El Paso that,
except when rains happen to lie abun?
dant, there is a scarcity of water from the
middle of June until March. He con?
tends that these American irrigation
ditches come within tlie prohibitions of
the old Guudnlupc-llidulaotreaty against
any work which interrupts navigation.
Attorney General Harmon, however, is
positive that irrigating ditches wholly
within the territory of the United States
at places far above the height of naviga?
tion lind no support in the treaty, and so
the matter stands for tlie present. It
seems hard thai tlie greedy Americans
and their lands should drink all the water
up before it reaches the Mexican settle?
ment, but if tlie provisions of the treaty
are as the attorney general construes
them, the only remedy for the evil will
be generous concessions on tlie part of
the United States.
TERRITORY IN VIRGINIA.
Senate lb-solution Inquires Into the
Validity of Rctroceding It.
The 'Washington Post says: The Senate
yesterday agreed to a resolution cf inquiry
about, the acquisition of tlie territory in
Virginia, which was once a part of the
District of Columbia. This territory was
ceded back to Virginia, and the project, is
to have it brought again within the juris?
diction of the District. The subject has
often been discussed in the District, ami
eminent lawyers have thought that the
territory could never be acquired again
except bv tin- consent of the people of
Virginia. Hut there has alway.- been a
difference of opinion, which will proba?
bly lead to further agitation of tin- mat?
ter in and out of Congress. Tlie resolu?
tion was introduced by Sendtor McMil?
lan, and is as follows:
??Whereas, The United States has ac?
quired large holdings of laud on and
near the south bank of the Potomac
river, in that portion of the State of Vir?
ginia originally comprised within the
District of Columbia: and
? Whereas, it is proposed to build a
memorial bridge ncross said river to con?
nect tin- city of Washington with Arling?
ton Cemetery: and
??Wiieteas, '! he United Staii-.s main?
tains the roads leading from the Aque?
duct Rridgc to the -aid cemetery: there?
fore in- i:
"Re.solvcd, 'Ihat the attorney general
be and he i.- hereby institu ted to report
to the Senate first, what proportion the
present holding-of the United States in
the State of Virginia, and within the
former limits of the District of Colum?
bia, hear to the whole territory originally
ceded by that State to the United States:
secondly, by virtue ol what, legislation
tho Virginia portion of the original Dis?
trict was retroseded to the said State:
thirdly; whether the constitutionality of
Mich acts of retrogression has been judi?
cially determined; fourthly, what legis?
lation is necessary again to secure to the
Government exclusive jurisdiction over
eil her the whole or a part oi .such terri?
tory originally included in the District of
Columbia .'is is now ^embraced in the
state of Virginia." .

A Boy's'Idea of the Great Musician's

A school boy, obliged to write u compo

lad's effort, and some of his comparisons
may Imj brought to mind when Hemeuyi

AGNEYV HAS A CINCH.
Snlem friends of Cupt. P. II. McCnuli,
our formet' townsman, who was defeated
for Congress in '.lie Eighth district, will
lie sorry tu learn that he will lie likely de?
feated fur collector of internal revenue of
this district, fur which he is an aspirant.
Well posted Republicans of this section
say there is little chance for him to get
this position, as Park Agncw, of Alexan?
dria, seems to luve a "cinch'' on it.

A HAIRLESS SQUIRREL.
The Ereilerieksburg Star says: John
K. Curtis brought from Stafford'a hair?
less squirrel, caught in his woods yester?
day. The squirrel is perfect in every re?
spect, save that it is as hairless as a Mex?
ican dog.as if it had been cleaned shaved.
Except tile few long hairs about the nose,
from mouth to tip of tail, there is no sign
of hair. The tail is very much like a
rat's tail, and altogether it is a most re?
markable freak. How or why tin- hair
dropped oft there is no means of know?
ing.
