VALEHTIKE'S BAY.

The fourteenth of February is now a very much degenerated festival, tbe only observance of note consisting merely of tbe sending of jocular anonymous letters to parties whom one wishes to quiz, and this is confined very much to the hnmbler classes. Now the day is heralded by the appearance of vast numbers of cheap ridiculous colored caricatures of the male or female figure, each accompanied with bnrleeque verse of a very low order. At rare intervals the print is of a sentimental kind, rich in design and of beautiful workmanship.

At no remote period the day was celebrated in a different manner. Ridiculous letters were unknown. On the eve of St. Valentine a number of young folk—maids and bachelors—would assemble together, and inscpibe upon little billets the names of an equal number of maids and bachelors of lheir acquaintance throw the whole into a receptsclo of some sort, and then draw them lottery-wise—care, of course, being taken that each should draw one of the opposite eex. The person tbns drawn became one's valentine. Of course, besides having got a valentine for one's self, one becaaoe bv the universality ef tbe practice, some other person's valentine but the msn stuck faster to' the valentine that had faikn to him, than to her to whom fce had fallen. These imaginary engegeKifrits, as may readily be supposed often lei to real ones, because one necessary consequence of them was, that |or a whole year, a bachelor bound to the service of his valentine, somewhat after the fashion of a medieval knight of romance to hi* lady love. At one period it was.customary for both sides to make each other presents, but latterly the obligation seems to have been restricted to young men.

The connection of the custom with St. Valentine is purely accidental. In the legends of the different saints of that name recorded in tho Acta Sanctorum, no trace to the practice peculiar to this day is found. It has been suggested that tbe custom may have descended to us from the ancient Romans, who, during the Lupercalia, celebrated in the month of February, were wont among other things to put the names of young women into a box, from which they were drawn by tbe men as chence directed and that the Christian clergy, finding it difficult or impossible to extirpate the pagan practice, gave it at least a religious aspect, by substituting the names of particular saints for those of the women and it is certainly a usage more or less widely extended in tbe Roman Catholic church to select, cither on St. Valentine's day or some other, a patron saint for the year, who is termed a valentine. But it is far more probable that the custom of choosing valentines is a relic of that nature-relig-ion which was undoubtedly the imitive form of rel'gion in northwestern Europe, as elsewhere and that it sprung from a recognition of the peculiarity of the season. Hence in. Bailey's dictionary the following explanation is given: "About this time of the year the birds choose their mates, and probably thence came the custom of the young men and maidens choosing valentines or special loving friends on that day."

A few days ago the Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette telegraphed that paper some information concerning tho coming campaign in this state, in which he did not take a very hopeful view from a republican standpoint. The Indianapolis correspondent of the same paper, who ought to know something of the subject, takes a different view, and says: "The statement from Washington to the Gaz8tte to the effect that a republican member of coDgrcss from this state had little expectation of a republican victory in Indiana in the next campaign, does not reflect the feeling of leading republicans here and throughout the state. The recent meeting in this city, at which a full expression of individual views was had, indicated a very hopeful, not to

Bay

confident feeling on the part of republicans, and they consider the chances considerably more than even in their favor. One of the best indications that the demacrats are anything but sanguine as to the coming contest is the indisposition of well advised democrats to scnounce themselves as candidates fof office. It is known that two prominent gentlemen, who would cheerfully announce themselves as candidates LOT secretary of ttate, if thev

The murder of another Jewish family is reported in Russia. It is offered in excuse that the government is ignorant of the true state of affatrs, and therefore not responsible for them. If this is true it is high time for Russia to have a government which would be cognizant of what ia detrimental to its progress.

St- Sophia acd the Grand Forte. A Turkish superstition has it that when the mosque of St. Sophia falls in ruins, the Ottoman Empire will also be destroyed. A recent examination of the old mosque reveals the fact that it may collapse at any moment. It may not be in verification of tbe superstition, but the Empire is in a most dilapidated state, an insurrection hss just broken ont in Arabia, and another of considerable proportions prevails on the northwestern frontier, with at least the possibility that the warlike spirit may cross the Turkish line. The fall of the mosque, should it occur, might.not be without efi'ect on the fate of the Empire.

Compulsory Army Retirement. CHICAGO, February 13.—The subject of compulsory retirement which has been brought before Congress by Butterworth's bill, is being agitated among tbe military men in the West. From recent letters received here from Army officers, aud from conversation with several of those stationed here, it appears to be the unanimous desire in the Army to have a bill pass retiring all officers from active service who have attained the age of 62. This feeling is not confined to tbe .younger men in thQ ranks, who will benefit by the law, but is entertained by the older ones, and a petition recently forwarded to Washington urging the passage of the bill contained 1,400 names of military men, many of them being men who would, if the bill passed, be retired at once, or in a few years. The arguments adduced in favor of the bill are many, but the chief ones are that by making retirement mandatory, instead of discretionary, all, would be treated alike there would be no chance for favoritism or political prejudice the officers would know just what to look forward to, instead of being in constant uncertainty, and the Army would stand on the same ground as thie Navy in the matter. An examination of the Army register shows that under this law the following would be retired: Generals Sherman, McDowell, Rucker and Barnes Colonels Ingalls, Eakin, Cuyler King, fienham, Macomb, Getty .Hunt, Dent, Brenham and King Lieutenant Colonels Simons and Keeney Majors Potter, Vedder, Brooks, Clark, Smith and Broad head—twenty-five in all.

Foreign News, OREAT BRITAIN.

LONDON, Feb. 13.—A corresponaent ox the Manchester Guardian says be understands that general inquiry by the Government shows that there will be a majority in favor of the firet of the new rules of Parliamentary procedure. It is supposed that Gladstone will appeal to the House to permit the discussion to continue from day to day.

The Daily News says In a leader, probably inspired, that if the rules are rejected the proper course of the Government is clean it should devote RB many sessions of the present Parliament as may be necessary to the county franchise, the Tedietribotion of seats and the corrupt practices bills. When these have been paesed it should appeal to the enlarged and reformed constituencies on the question of other substantial reforms to which the revision of procedure is an essential preliminary.

The Daily News also states that the cloture rule is tbe very essence of the Government's proposals, and Bhoujd it be rejected the other rules will not be submitted to the House. The News, however, has no apprehension of such a result. The Liberals eeceders will probably be numbered only by units. They will be persons who nominally joined the Liberal party in order to better aerie its opponents. Bat these questionable allies, and the aid of the Irish enemy, will not secure victory for the united forces ot obstruction. It should be well understood by constituency that all the members who vote against cloture also oppose the various reforms which the Ministry is anxious to pass.

The Liberal seceders are expeeted to include Sir Edward Watkin, Cowen, Storey, Marriatt and Walter.

The Times says: Cloture, beyond all dispute, is the question of the hour. It has been acclaimed, in many cases with ludicrous misconstructions of meaning, by the organs of the machine which was brought to perfection two years ago, and of which the National federation of the Liberal ssociations at Birmingham is the mainspring. But it has arrayed against it the unexpected unanimity of independent criticism.

In regard to the proposal, the Times points out that Brand, Speaker of the House, will probably retire at the beginning of the new session, and that as Gladstone will soon complete his fiftieth year of Parliamentary service his retirement from the active conduct of the affairs of the lower house cannot be long delayed. The disappearance of these men would throw the power moie than ever into the hands of the machine. Cloture, wl? never it suited the purpose of the Government of the day, would be clamored for by one hundred organs inspired by local caucuses, whose wires would be worked from Wesminsfer and Birmingham.

The Under Foreign Secretary stated in the House to-day that no reply has heen received as to the intentions of the United States Government in regard to the Fortune Bay fishery dispute.

LONDON, February 13.—The Mark Lane Exprees, in its review of the British grain trade for the past week, says: Tbe spring sowings are progressing favorably, growing crops continue satisfactory, and the position is promising. Trade is restricted, apd all except the best samples are cheaper. There was active inquiry for seed parcels of spring corn, but the consumptive demand is slow. Foreign was remarkably quiet throughout the week, and the demand very small!. The spot supply was ample, and a concession of Is, Friday, was insufficient to induce buyers. The off coast market is inanimate. Fourteen cargoes have arrrived, of which four were sold. The floating bulk has considerably increased. The forward trade is dull and rates are generally lower. Maice is everywhere Weaker and the demand nominal. Barley unchanged, with a slack demand. Oats, unchanged for all but common, which is rather cheaper. Sales of English wheat during the week, 45,182 quarters, at 46s 5d per quarter, against 36,090 quarters at 42s 3d per qusxter for the corresponding week last year.

In twentyfour leading cities tbe total gross exchanges of the week amount to $1,043,869,338, against $1,346,386,614 in twentythree citics last week.

DISASTROUS COAL OIL FIRE. BRADFORD, Pa., Feb. 12.—A spark from a locamotive on the Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia railroad this evening set fire to the little pools of oil in the low grouqd near Orleans N. Y., where the United Pipe Lines have a number of large iron tanks located. A few minutes after the pools of oil were set on fire the flames were communicatcd to three iron tanks, containing in all 105,000 barrels of oil, which arc now in flames. Pipe Line men from all sections of the oil region were summoned by wire to the scene of the fire. Superintendent Snow and Smedley, with a large force of men, left Bradford by a special, fast running train. They took picks, shovels, cannon and chemical fire extinguishers. Trenches and embankments will be formed to pre-" vent the spread of burning oil when the overflow occurs, which will be at 2 or 3 o'clock a. m. Olean Creek runs near the scene of the fire, and there are great fears that tho oil will strike the surface of the stream and destroy a number of railroad bridges and houses near Banks Creek. The oil will be drawn off as rapidly as possible by perforating the tanks with cannon ball. The night is bright as day for several miles about the tanks. What the result will be can not now be conjectured.

NEW YORK, February 13.—A special from Olean says, concerning the oil fire in that region, that the fourth tank caught this morning. Thus far 130,000 barrels, valued at $100,000 have burned, and it is feared that the fire will spread.

SAS FRANCISCO, Febi 13.—The Merchants' Exchange announced that it would commence the call of wheat and other produce, bon^s, miscellaneous stocks and other property with the exception of mining stocks, which will be rigidly excluded.

As no previous intimation of such intention had been given the natural inference was that it was intended to hold off the wh^it call of tho Produce Exchange, which will be shortly commenced, but the President of tho Merchants' Exchange informs a reporter that the latter was under consideration hv him before it was broached in the Produce Exchange and that no opposition was intended.

BAN FBANCISOO, Feb. 13.—According to Saturday's announcement, the "call" opened at the Merchants' Exchange today. A large crowd was present, but no business was transacted.
