THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The most important subject referred
ernment of the United States,
not now be discussed, but the idea looks
ernment,
In addition to the commercial
the President reports that a
treaty has been concluded with the Do
minican republic.
He recommends that the
laws shall be amended 80 as to
and punish acts against neutrality com-
mitted within this country and aimed
against the peace of a friendly nation.
The prompt and thorough treatment of
this question, he says, intimately con-
cerns the national honor,
He recommeds the immediate suspen-
of the issue of silver certificates; like- |
wise tha legal-tender notes for one and
two dollars shall be withdrawn, and that
the trade dollars shall be redeemed at a
slight advance over the bullion value,
BCARED BY SPrOOKS,
An
press
cifle. About two years ago, at Montioel-
| 10, a station on that road, a band of rob.
bers attacked Wells-Fargo's express car,
| which was valiantly defended by Aaron
| Ross, a gigantic express messenger,
| known on all the railroad and stage lines,
One of the robbers was killed dead sure,
and it was said that another crawled off
and died somewhere. All the surviving
ing State service at the Carson prison.
When the express car which the rob.
| hers attecked returned to Reno, on the
way to Sacramento to be repaired, it wns
dubbed “Fort Ross.” It looked as if it
had an altereation with bullets and shots
had gone through it in all other direc.
| tions. When the car eame back on the
road it looked like new, but it was still
the same old car. After a few days Ross
| noticed strange noises in it while he was
making Lis run, altogether different from
the ordinary rattle of a car. Packages
of express matter danced abont, occa.
sionally giving him a hard-glove whack
on the nose, while a box would waltz up
behind and hoist him vigorously.
This continued for some weeks, when
Boss became very nervous and fidgety.
He wonld face the devil in material form,
He also recommends the abolition of |
all excise taxes except those relating to |
distilled spirits.
iff, the President holds, should be re-
United States nor other American States |
mercial treaties uld be
with all the countries of America and |
the adjacent islands until a complete cus-
toms uniQn is formed; and this
ment shoald be furtber strengthened by |
a8 monetary union of America.
He concurs in the opinion of Secretas |
ry McColloch that the American gteam- |
ship marine should be encouraged by |
Government subsidies, either inthe form |
of liberal payment for mail trapsporta- |
tion or otherwise,
The restoration of the navy to the high |
state of efficiency which formerly char-
acterized it, is earnestiy recommended.
The reduction of postage on drop let-
tera to one cent, and the fixing of the |
unit of first-class postage at one ounce
instead of one-half ounce, are also re.
commended.
No President hos ever proposed more |
impoatant measures, and noone has stated |
his ideas 1a a simpier and clearer style.
The literary form of the message is rath- |
er scattering, however, But it has the
merit of belag short.

A PECULIAR MERBREW TRIDE,
ab
Between Damascus and Jerusalem is a
tribe of about three thousand Hebrows,
which has been there probably since the
beginning of the Christian Era. They
have neither city nor town ; they live in
camps, The temple is represented by a
more spacious tent. They have never
admitted among them a person of differ.
ent mco or religion. Their ordinary
language is Hebrew. In their relations
with others they speak Arabian, These
relations, however, are very few, for they
have remained, like the primitive moes,
exclusively tillers of the soil and war.
riors. They oulivate the ground, armed
from head to foot, always ready to de-
fend their portion of earth, from which,
with great difflonlty, they derive a
meagre sustenance, They live on little
and are content to thus live in this sort
of native country which they have oo-

HMENRY CLAY'S NOSE,
Henry Clay, when presented in Feb-
York friends, received it by reading a
written address, and then, in a conversa-
tional manner, expressed a favorable
opinion of the head, as giving his features
with great truthfulness, but playfully re-
marked that he did not know before that
value of the medal from its material :
“Who can tell but fifty or a hundred
years hence some Goth may get hold of
this and say the nose of this old dead
fellow will serve to buy me a great many
things that I want, and may carry it off 7
However, it is n capital likeness, I think.
The artists,” said Mr. Clay, ‘have not
generally succeeded well in taking my
features, but that has been in a great
measure my own fault; for my face
never retains long the same expression,
and, especially when I am under any ex-
citement, it changes every moment
John Randolph once paid mea high
compliment, not intentionally, for he
seldom complimented any man; but,
without intendisg it, he paid me what I
deem one of the highest compliments I
ever received. He said that whenever a
debate is coming on, if I can get a sight
at Mr. Clay's face I can always tell which
gide he is going to take.” Strange to say,
the medal was soon afterwards stolen be-
tween Washington and New York from
a lady to whose care it had been intrusted,
and the original donors had a facsimile

Owing to the small proportion of
moisture in mountain air and the low
barometric pressure, evaporation is very
rapid. Even after the heaviest rain the

On Sanday, Ang. 10, which wns the

A CHINESE LAUNCH,
Says the Philadelphia Press: It is
amusing to watch the ceremonies at the
launching of a Chinese war vessel. Itis
always customary before a junk sails on
any voyage to sacrifice a cock and
sprinkle its blood on the bows of the
veasol, amid much beating of gongs
But on this cocasion a very especial bless.
ing is invoked on the new undertaking,
and the court at Pekin sends its Imperial
Commissioner $0 offer sacrifice, as the
representative of the Emperor. Two
altars are, therefore, erected on board the
new ship, one to the Goddess of the
River, the other to the Goddess of
Heaven. To the former are sacrificed
two goats and two pigs, and to the Iat-
ter, who has less to do with theshipping,
only the heads of one pig and one goat.
But quantities of joss paper, inscribed
with prayers for good luck, are burned
on each altar, and showers of prayers on
gilt paper are thrown into the sea %o
propitiate the Sea Dragon. Then, amid
deafening beating of gongs, firing of
guns, shouting and gemeral uproar, the
vessel glides into the river,

FARMING IN UTAH
Says the Denver Republican: Utah has
now ten thousand small farms, averaging
twenty-five acres, and the whole must be
irrigated. There ia but one large farm
in the Territory, and that is owned by »
company. The great Salt Lake, scoords
ing to Elder Cannon, contains enough
salt to supply America for centuries.
All that is necessary in preparing it for
market is to drive to the edge of the lake
with a wagon, and a man with rubber
boots on can load it with a shovel. The
salt lies on the bottom of the lake in
small, coarse erystals. After loading, it
is taken to a grinding machine, and at'ter
being ran through it is fit for the table
