IN OTHER LANDS.

It is stated that the Pope has instructed Archbishop Walsh and other visitpg Irish prelates to adopt a conciliatory attitude towards the Government of Ireland. The Sobranje of Bulgaria has passed bills authorizing the Government to conclude treaties of commerce with all countries and to issue a loan of $10,000,000 for railway construction. There ismach dissatisfaction in Samoa with the German administration recently imposed upon the people. Some of the most influential men of iAe island refuse to support the Government. The Prussian and German departments of justice has commissioued Judge Ashcraft to study and report upon the American penal system, with the view of making it the basis of a new sy stem in Germany.. The isuue of rum is to be discontinued in the British army in India, and the canteen for spirits will soon be a thing of the past This is a long step in the right direction, and is due to his Excellency Sir Frederick Roberts, Commander-in-Chief. Cholera of a peculiarly deadly type has been raging for some time in Chili. All Peruvian ports have been closed to vessels coming from Chilian ports until such time as a lazaretto at San Lorenzo, in Callao Bay, can be made ready to receive patients. The Primness Metternich has been in Paris recently, and astonished that city by appearing in costumes which were actually shabby. The Princass Metternich has long been famous for ti e elegance of her attire, and her present carelessness in regard to dress is most astonishing. The Duke of E linburg has an unenviable reputation for parsimony throughout Europe. For many years he has been a sunporter of the Kent County Hospital to the extent of five guineas annually. He has now withdrawn this subscription, as be no longer resides in Kent Newspaper men in Germany have to be ;,very careful about punctuation. The Hofer -Tageblatt a short time ago said a decoration had been conferred upon Count von Holstein. By an oversight an exclamation point instead of a period appeared at the end of the sentence, and for this the authorities seized the whole issue and instituted a suit against the editor for atrocious libeL A complete menagerie has been purchased by Baruum's London agent. Included in the list of animals are genuine man-eaters, the first ever sent to America; also lions, tigers, zebras, tapirs, rare antelopes, a hippopotamus, Hamas, baboons, panthers, leopards, and a splendid pair of brown alpacas, formerly the property of a Scotch lady, who used them to draw her carriage in Scotland. There fire indications of another revolution in the Sandwich Islands. The King, in exercising b if v veto power as to certain measures of legisla tion, intoncU to stand on his constitutional rights until a judicial decision is rendered. The Legislature will contest his action and the natives are becoming excited. They find themselves ignored and treated with contempt, the King insulted, and his rights; as understood by them, ignored or defied. The native papers, it is said, are inciting the natives torise in arms, if necessary, and assert their rights.

IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER That happiness is not perfection unless it is shared. That great possessions may bring great aoMortunes.

TOPICS OF THESE TIMES. A UNIQUE SUMMER TRIP. It is now possible for the man of leisure and means, who desires to travel and see the world, and who has an ambition to diverge from the beaten and common-place paths that have for years been followed by the mass of pleasure-seekers to go by modern conveyances to points of interest that have until recently been inaccessible to all except the most hardy and daring adventurers. There are many places of this character, notably Alaska, and the Russian frontier in Asia, now accessible bv way of the great railway in process of construction by the Czar. Another is right at hand on our own continent, and the route has been explored and laid out by Mr. Ogilvie of the Canadian Land Survey, being no less than an inland trip to the Arctic Ocean. It is now possible to make the round trip in seventy days by rail, stage and steamer, from Ottawa. The route is by way of the Canadian Pacific, four days to Calgary, to Edmonton, one day, by a branch railroad, then 100 miles further north, three days, by horses, io Athabasca Landing, on the Athabasca river. The tourist should reach Athabasca Landing about the 1st of June so as to connect with the Hudson Bay Company's steamer, on which he can descend to Grand Rapids. Four days will bet required to make the portage around the rapids, to Fort McMurray, and if he connects with the steamer Grahame at that place a day more will land him at Ft. Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca. Then descending the Great Slave river to Smith's Landing, another portage around rapids becomes necessary, there being a descent of 250 feet at that point, at the lower end of which is located Fort Smith. At this place the traveler will connect with the Steamer Wrigley. which will reach Fort McPherson, hundreds of miles down the Mackenzie river, in seven or eight days. According to Mr. Ogilvie's experience the tourist can reach the Arctic Ocean at the mouth of the Mackenzie river from Ottawa in about twenty-three days. Ascending the river on the return trip forty days will be required, the whole trip not necessarily consuming more than seventy days, allowing for unexpected delays. The cost of the trip need not exceed $300. The route covers 4,000 miles, and the point of destination is upwards of 1,600 miles north of Ottawa. North of Edmonton the steamers have no regular time of departure. The traveler who makes the trip will hardly realize the vast extent of territory that he is traversing. Twelve hundred miles of beautiful prairie land extend from Winnipeg to Athabasca Landing, and from that point to the Arctic Ocean he would have ordinary river navigation for 1.800 miles, except a few miles on Lake Athabasca and 120 miles on the Great Slave Lake. Daylight is continuous in that region during the summer season. It is a matter worthy of note that steam will take us from almost any part of the country by inland routes to the land of the "midnight sun," to the Esquimaux and the great Mackenzie delta, to attain which travelers in the past have undergone untold hardships and in countless instances have laid down their lives.

in, and of those who are in to stay in." A representative of the opposition, in reply to Gen. Vasquez's statement, said: "No, it was the intolerable tyranny of the Bogran administration. His whipping to the point oi death of respectable citizens for the most trivial offenses or no offense as suited his whim." It appears from" records, however, that Bogran has; been no more severe in this respect than his predecessors, and American officers in ti e service of the government army assert that he was too lenient. However that may be, it seems evident that Bogran sought to perpetrate his power by the espousal of the caue of Leiva, arold and infirm man, who had served as President twenty years ago, and whom he put forward as the government candidate at the last election. According to the opposition, government troops were used on electicr. day to intimidate voters, and thereby secured the election of Leiva by a large majority. Various outrages were committed on election day by government officers, one of whom killed a voter who resisted a

challenge. This officer was tried i

and sentenced to eight years imprisonment, but Leiva promptly pardoned hirr. and restored him to his command. From these and other resulting causes the present war arose and has been conducted on the part of the government with the most savage and inhuman atrocities that has aver been recorded. Mercy is held to be a weakness. Women are outraged and subjected to the lash. Prisoners are butchered in cold blood on the s teps of cathedrals until the pavement is slippery with their gore. ' 'Gringo tigers. M in employ of government forces, get a bottle of run a day for their wages, and extra pay for each man they kill, and a saturnalia of crime and terror that have never been equaled since the French Revolution prevails. It is a war in which whole villages have been destroyed, the aged, the si 3k and the helpless driven into the woods to live as best they can. It is a war without principle, a struggle for personal aggrandizement ajid selfish ends, and a contest that may yet involve all of Central America. Vasquez seems likely tc win. He has arms and ammunition and levies forced contributions on all men or women known to have money under terror of the lash and penitentiary. Bonilla, the defeated candidate for President, is the leader of the revolutionary forces, and his policy is exactly the reverse of that of Vasquez. He will not allow the execution of prisoners even in retaliation, and while a candidate favored the abolition of the death penalty. This policy, however, is held oy the government forces tc be onlv for effect and is sneered at fa by them. Nothing like this contest has taken place on American soil since the French and Indian wars in New York 150 years ago. Evidently the savage in the human breast has net yet been exterminated and humanitarians have here an awful object lesson for contemplation and elucidation.

SAVAGE WARFARE. The vast majority of the American people are to-day fully engrossed in peaceful pursuits, and a large percentage of the citizens of the United States ,re devoting what time they can spare from the amassing of the almighty dollar for general purposes towards the accumulation of a special fund with which to attend the greatest aggregation of the world's peaceful efforts tht has ever been assembled on the globe. Yet. while these exhibitions of a world at peace are daily taking place, and our teeming millions are resting at ease in a sense of absolute security for person and property, a dozen American citizens, who owe their only allegiance to our free institutions, are engaged in fomenting strife in Honduras, a Central American State in fact upon our own continent and openly say that the inhuman atrocities which have so far characterized the struggle are necessary and right. A New York Sun specialo correspondent has made an exhaustive report of his investigations in that unhappy country, and his statements, no doubt reliable, challenge the attention of the civilized world and arouse the sympathy of all who read them. To begin at the beginning the cause of the war here are i.he statements of the representative men on each side; Gen. Vasquez, commander-in-chief of the government army, said: '"You can sum up the cause of the war in one word ambition; ambition of those out of power to get

AN INNOVATION. The President's new rule closing the doers of the White House to persistent office-seekers, and discontinuing the long-established usage of introductions by Senators and Representatives of their constituents, who are firmly convinced that the welfare of the country demands their immediate installation in positions of honor and emolument, though a decided innovation, will be likelv to impress the country ut large as a necessaary reform and a move in the right direction, however harsh it may appear in individual cases. Not only will it relieve the chief executive from an unnecessary pressure and an onerous and unpleasant even herculean task, but it willaiso relieve the congressman from the vexatious and utterly useless impor tunities of those of his constituents who will not take "no" for an answer, and who persist in pushing their claims for recognition to the arbiter of last resort in the face of certain disappointment and hopeless discouragement from their better posted political friends. While it is no doubt true that the first impressions of many will be that all Americans have a right to be heard in their own behalf upon all occasions, yet . sober second thought will convince the most prejudiced that the time has passed when human strength is able to contend with the struggling and enthusiastic mass who are alike entitled to all the ame iities and consideration that polite intercourse demands. This country "aas grown to such vast proportions that to longer continue the conditions which have in the past prevailed in this matter is a physical impossibility, and the people, or at least all fair-minded people, believe that the Chief Executive, no matter whet his politics may be, owes his time, energies and abilities to more important interests, and that, while it is best that the appointive power should be vested in the President, he should be favored at least to the exter,t of allowing him to choose his own manner of disposing of what has always been, and is likely to continue to W, a most perplexing and vexatious problem, and one that no President has ever succeeded in solving to the satisfaction of all the elements which by their united efforts placed him in his high position.

THE WORLD'S FAIR. A Few of Its Wonders PennsylTania'8 Pyramid of Coal. In the exact center of the Mines Building is a tall needle of anthracite coal from the Mammoth vein of Pennsylvania. It is a part of the State exhibit. Fifty-four feet high it stands, and in the mass are ninety-five tons. The foundation goes through the floor. The mass is ten fen feet square. The cap was put on and the needle completed Thursday. It cost $10,000 to get up the pyramid. The bottom layer is from the bottom of the coal vein, the second layer is frogi the second layer in the coal vein, and so on to the top. There are six car-loads of it in all.

How many men and women are prepared to believe that a fabric, as soft and pliable as silk, with a gloss and texture rivaling the weaver's art, can be spun and woven of glass? Not many, doubtless, yet it is actually being done ever' day at the Exposition. The glass-worker who blows and twists and shapes into all sorts of fantastic and ingen-

her who attend the Fair will visit this marvelous exhibit.

PENNSYLVANIA S XLDLE OF COAL. ious forms, souvenirs of the Fair, is a familiar feature of every exhibition. The man who engraves vourname on a mug or goblet while you wait" is an annual attraction at all the shows, but the glass-spinner who draws over a wheel that looks like an old-fashioned bicycle with a wide tire a thread fine and elastic as a silkworm's web is a decided novelty, and the weaver whose deft fingers toss the bobbin back and forth in the loom, fashioning the crystal threads into a cloth of surpassing fineness, is almost new in the realm of industrial art. In the whole exposition., wonderful as it is in a'.l departments, there is no illustration of progress more interesting than the magic transformation of sand into this cloth of glass and its manipulation into hundreds of ornamental uses. In making this new art a prominent object lesson in their model glass works the Libby Glass Company, of Toledo, O.. have afforded the public a chance of viewing one of the most astonishing achievements of modern handicraft. The ceiling of their showroom has been adorned with a glass tapestry at the cost of $10,000. Nothing like it in interior decoration has been seen before. Articles of furniture, small tapestries, table scarfs, lamp shades, and other objects made of this rare fabric are displayed, beau tiful in design and rich in color. This exhibit is a favorite resort of the ladies, who flock to it daily in constantly increasing numbers. Owing to the superior quality of their ware the Libby Glass Company were allowed the exclusive privilege

LIBBY GLASS WORKS. of constructing and operating a cutglass factory on the Exposition grounds and they evidently intended to leave a lasting impression on the minds of all. The building, the surroundings of which are elaborately ornamented, cost over $125,000, and is equipped with the best machinery and appliances. Over two hundred skilled operators are employed and the expenses exceed $1,000 per day. Every process of glass working is carried on before the admiring gaze of visitors, from the great furnaces and crucibles containing the molten metal, red with heat, to the shapely crystal pieces cut and polished into the dazzle of the diamond. So interesting is each stage of the work that the visitor is loth to leave the fascinating place. Some of thefinished pieces of cut glass are fhier and handsomer than any yet shown in this country, and cannot be exceeded by any European artisan. Since the opening of the exposition more than one-third of all the visitors have passed through the turnstiles at the entrance to the glass factory. Five thousand can be accommodated at one time, yet so great has been the patronage that Mr. Libby has been compelled to charge a nominal admission fee of 10 cents in order to prevent overcrowding, but each visitor receives a souvenir in glass. It is not too much to say that one-half the whole num-
