% EETALIATION. Seiznuri of a British Schoonet at Portland, Me. There is great excitement here, says a dispatch from Portlan 1. Me. This morning Captain Jesse Ellis entered at the Custom Housj his schooner Sisters from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, with a cargo of 20,000 mackerel, taken last Wednesday, and consigned by W. A. K&llain, of Yarmouth, to F. F. Clement & Co., of this city. Captain Ellis signed the customary oath tbat his report and manifest correctly described the cargo of his vessel. First Deputy Collector Colesmith then asked for the mauifest. "I have not any," repuea captain r.ias. jur. wiomuu expressed his sorrow that the Captain >hoald have been caught without his papers, but told him nothing conld be done in his case, that he must in the usual course pay the fine imposed by law. "How much.'' asked the captain. "Five hundred dollars," replied Mr. Colesmith. "The little schooner won't bring that,"' said the captain, who pre.-euted a picture of distress. Nothing could be done for him, and Surveyor Bradbury sent Inspector Home to take formal charge of the sen x>ner. This done, Captain Ellis and his crew were allowed to go ou dischargiug their cargo of 20,000 mackerel. It was pathetic to see the Captain and erew of the wretched little schooner discharging the cargo that the Government ; of the United States will claim. Captain Ellis counted out the fish, but he had little heart iu his work He was asked what he had to say. In a broken voice he replied: "Nothing." Alone and tending the windlass was one of the crew, who was more inclined to talk. He said: "I'll .-'it my pay, wou't I.' It can't be that I'll be left here without a dollar. What have I done? What has the skipper done.' We didn't do anything more than common. They wou't take the schooner from us, will they?'' Another of the crew thought it must b_> all right,because the fish are as g x>d as they can be. Secretary Bayard has been informed of the seizure U. B. Whitten, Secretary of the Portland . Fishing Exchange, was s<*?n by a reporter. He saiu: ''Coming at this time, the seizure of the Sisters will do good. She comes here from a port so near Digbv that the fellows up there will hear of it. The matter having been referred tn Secretary Bayard, he <wifi be obliged to take notice <if it." A Washington dis^fh says: "Messrs. George W. Biddle, of Philadelphia, and William 1,.

Courtship in Zululand has several advantages over the same sort of agreeable pastime in this country. When a Zulu girl takes a fancy to a young war-rior, she leaves her father's house, and, at dusk, stations herself before the hut of the favored one, remaining perfectly silent. If her attentions are favored, she will be asked into the hut, and remain a week or more. This obviates the necessity of the young man walking a couple of miles, perchance, along a dark and lonely road six or seven nights a week, after midnight; and the girl's father doesn't iind his coal and gas bills augmented during the courtship. ?Norristovcn Herald. baby mine.

LEADERS OF THE DIPLOMATIC COUPS AT WASHINGTON*. Peculiarities of Some of the Foreign Ministers?Denn of the Corps? The Russian Representative's Clever Wife. The Diplomatic Corps, writes a Washington correspondent of the New York includes 125 persous, more or less. Viewed as a whole, the corps is only brilliant from the court uniform point of view. Taken individually, it has clever men and women, and the women are superior to the men. The foreigners find in American official socicty a wide field for criticism and gossip. Americans are just as deeply interested in the foreigners. and discuss them with equal freedom and with vigorous tongues. There are about thirty ladies belonging to the twenty-nine legations at Washington, but of this number not more than half have been here this year or have been seen in official circles. The Dean of the Diplomatic Corps comes from the little island of Hayti. Mr. Stephen Preston presented credentials as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Hayti Republic on February lb, 1873. This ceremony took place in the blue-room of the White House, where all foreign representatives are presented to tire President. Thirteen years of service places Mr. Preston the senior over the other ministers and makes him their Dean. Before he became Dean the honor belonged to the Hawai ian Islands, whose representative, Elisha Allen, was Denn, succeeding the British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton. After the latter's promotion to St. Petersburg, Mr. Allen by seniority of service became the Dean. He preceded the corps on the New Year's morning of 18b3, and was the first to enter the blue room to greet President Arthur. This was only a short hour before his tragij cally sudden death in the "White Ilo.ise ended the New Ye:ir reception. His daughter, Miss Allen, is remembered as j one of the loveliest young women in the ! corps. The present Dean is a man of English physique and Haytian com lexion. His serenely smiling face keeps company with a serenely courteous manner that indicates the happy, smooth temperameut of tropical people. Two years ago Mr. Preston was sent by his government on a special mission to Europe, where his family have been with him. When here, theirs was one of the j very pleasant houses open to visitors on ! regular days,after the American fashion. Mrs. Preston is Quite as genial as her husband, and was a popular hostess. Thsir eldest daughter, tall and of French type, was one of the best dressed girls in society. Mr. Preston, who recently paid a brief visit here, takes his family from Paris to London for the summer, and i brings them back to this ooimtry next I autumn. The French Minister, M. Theodore i Roustan, is a bachelor. There has never j seemed to be any doubt of that. And he could never by any possible mistake be ' taken for other than a Frenchman. He i is a very agreeable Frenchman, too. Hie English is limited, but his gestures are not. M. Roustan may not be able to say more than "You have now a fine day," in the six words, but in one gesture of his hands, and a single lifting of his eyebrows, he will better express all that can be said about the weather, good or bad, than other diplomats, who pride themselves on their efficiency in our language. It was Mr. Blaine who said one evening at a dinner party: "Mme. de Struve is the cleverest woman in Washington." The wife of an ex-Cabinet member, who felt herself not without cleverness, quickly made the qualification: "You mean in in the Diplomatic Corps, Mr. Blaine?" Without an instant hesitation, he answered: "No, I mean that Mme. de Struve is the cleverest woman in Washington." Those who know the wife of the Russian Minister agree with Mr. Blaine. Those who are not 60 happy would hardly see in the little, pale, gray Russian woman the magnetism, brilliancy and fascination which are hers. Mme. de Struve has a short, thin figure, colorless complexion, blue eyes, and permaturely gray hair. As dress goes, she could not be called a well-dressed woman. Her clothes, though always of good material, seem to be the one thing she is most unconscious of, and on which she spends the least thought. But with all lack of taste in shade and fashion, her appearance never suggests want of harmony. Without beauty and without the art of dress, she is acknowledged by the entire Diplomatic Corps to be their clevere-st member, and Mr. Blaine gives her no equal and no rival in Washington. The Russian Minister's wife is thoroughly well read in books,and knows the newspapers of all countries from beginning to end. She is master of half a dozen languages, speaking English almost as well as her native tongue. Her knowledge of medicine is large, and was gained by a course of study. She is inclined to be what is called strong minded , in this country,and if she were an American would be claimed by the woman suffragists. She is a better diplomatist than her husband, and the compliment to her is no disparagement to him. In fact, it may be said that few Ministers here are as accomplished in diplomacy as Mme. de Struve. But she is one of the most truly natural women, frank and outspoken ; and just. When a young American abused I Kpr flllfr Ktt onnoonnrr of nnn Af * ?v wj <t 1/ v/uu v/i her evening parties in a half-intoxicated condition, she quietly requested his friends to take him home. The next day she wrote the young fellow a note recalling the invitations, which prevented him from going again to her house. At the same time she was even more kind than before to his sister, whom she continued to welcome as her guest. Mr. Chares de Struve reads and writes English perfectly, but does not speak it as fluently as his wife. He is most punctilious on all points of etiquette. He writes all his notes to Americans in English, as he deems this more complimentary to them than the use of French. His official papers are also written in English. After Mr. Lothrop, our present Minister to Russia, was appointed, he made a brief visit to Washington, but did not, as he should have done, pay his respects to the Russian Minister. On his second visit a friend reminded him of his duty, and he called at the legation. .Mr. Dc Struve was about to start for New York. Ilis carriage was at the door to take him to the station, ttut when Mr. Lothrop's note, asking when he might call, was handed to the minister, he answered it at once, inviting Mr. Lothrop to lunch with him. Then he dismissed his carriage, and half an hour later received and entertained his visitor. In the evening he took the tram for New York, and Mr. Lothrop probably does not know to this day that his host was perfectly aware of the breach of etiquette in the omission to call before. But this was the case, and it had been cause for some diplomatic comment. The fact that Russia had not previously been fortunate in her representatives to this country gave reason for Americans to be severly critical. But the Dj Stuves are an honor to their country, and arc an important social acquisition to the diplomatic corps. The new Spanish Minister has but recently arrived, and Senor Valera has departed. He had been here two years and maintained a bachelor establishment, as his wife was not with him. His nephew, Senor Mesia, one of the attaches of the legation, is somewhat noted in society for peculiarities, which are more than eccentricities of person and deportment. He is the young foreigner who has astonished society now and then by appearing at parties in knee-breeches and a dress coat with large, smooth, brass Kuff-tno j Since cur Government insisted on sending Mr. Iveiley to Austria that Government has been represented at Washington by a Charge d' Affaires, Count Lippe Weissenfeld, a bachelor, and for some time connected with the legation. The Count is large, showy and blonde, and looks more English than Austrian. Ho is on incessant but harmless flirt, never concentrating his affections long on one object. The Itaiian Minister is a picture of the Louis XIV. nobleman, and is tall, blackeyed and white-haired. Teaching Canaries Tricks. Patience and continual instruction only can teach a bird tricks. Because it sometimes gives no outward sign-of imitation is not to be accepted as a belief that it is not learning. It is practicing the trick in private, and not until a perfect rehearsal will it give a public exhibition. To teach a bird to kiss hold him tightly, chatting in soothing tones till he is quiet; then kiss the bill repeatedly, still soothing him with gentle talk. Kiss the bill again and a^ain till he ceases to struggle in fear of the salute; then bestow a final one?a kiss of approbation ?and release him to partake of his enjoyment. Repeat this the next day? several times a day if you wish to teach him quickly?and h'; soon resorts to this performance as a method of coaxing, opening and closing his bill between your lips exactly as you have done by him; so nearly us bird imitation is possiK1 Tf ntxVra rrnitr Una Hft nft nntiofl UiUi 4.1 11V ptvtko JWtti V* v _ it before him. The cage of a nervous bird should never be touched without calling the tenant's attention, because, being always engaged in some project, an abrupt action starts him just as it would a human being who is come upon suddenly. To teach him to sit upon your finger, draw a chair up near the cage, hold a conference with him, and then introducing a finger between the wires near his favorite perch, hold it there, patiently reading your book or paper meanwhile. The new object showing no disposition to harm him, he goes up cautiously for an examination. Then he picks it to ascertain the material?maybe he fights it. This is a good sign. He no longer fears it. Iiepay him with some choice morsel and cheerful words for his courage. Try him again in the afternoon. He may go further and light on it. Possibly the trick may take several days. Be patient. Once the step is attained, vary the programme by introducing the finger into other spots. He will soon light on it at any point or angle. Next try thrusting the fingers under the door. Next time fasten it open, blocking egress with the rest of the hand as one finger extends within. When he perches on it draw him forth a little way. .Next tempt mm to perch outside a little, and so on. In a short time you but have to open the cage door, -uplift a finger and he is sure to fly for it, and he may be thus called to any part -of the room to rest on the familiar perch. To eat from the fingers let him hunger several days for some favorite dainty ?say a fig. Show him one; disregard his -elation; do not let him have it. Spread a few seeds over the end of your finger and offer them close by his perch, allowing him plenty of time for specu. lation. Soon he will snatch off a seed or two. If he utterly refuses, put him sadly away, leaving the fig where he may see it. Next day try again; he'll take one or more. That will do. Do not plague him any longer. Give him a piece of tig in the cage, and leave him alone until next day. He may feel independent, being surfeited, a.id refuse to pick. No matter; put him away without his fig. The next day he is : sure to pick all off the fingers. Praise the act and reward him. After that it is plain sailing.? Cincinnati Enquirer. Trees. Profes sor Lazenbv, of Cornell University, says: To make timber plentiful and to render our elimatc more genial we must re-clothe all rugged, broken land and rocky crests, in fact, every acre that is not cultivated or is cultivated at a loss, with valuable forest trees. First?All ravines and steep hillsides, all land too rocky to be thoroughly cleared r>f ctnne nnd nlnwerl. should be devoted to trees. Second?Protecting belts of timber should be planted wherever buildings, orchard, gardens,etc.,are exposed to cold, sweeping winds. Third?The banks of streams, ponds, open ditches, etc., should be so planted with trees that they will be protected from abrasion by floods and rapid currents. Fourth?All public roads should be belted by graceful, stately trees. We should preserve, improve and extend our existing forests by keeping up a constant succession of young, growing trees of the best varieties. To do this it is necessary: First?To allow no stock to run in wood-lots for purpose of forage. This should be a rule inflexible and rcleatlees. Second?Young growth in forests should be thinned moderately and judiciously. Worthless varieties should be cut out and the valuable sorts should be trimmed up so that they will grofr tall, forming trunk rather than branches. Third?Timber should be cut with intelligent reference to future growth. Valuable trees that you wish to propagate should be cut in the spring. Those that you wish to exterminate should be. cut in August. Dear Bought Knowledge.

This is believed to be the largest game fish ever caught. A young man of Clyde, N. Y., shot a muskrat and waded into the water to get it. He intruded upon the spawning ground of a shoal of pickerel ana was attacked by a large number of old males sc fiercely that he was glad to get away. A Missouri River fisherman says: "I took from a trot-line that had been baited with paw-paws three channel cats, aggregating 170 pounds.

Several kinds of quadrupeds in the London Zoo suffer from corns on their feet, due to the hard floors, and these produce boring ulcers, which may extend clear through the foot.

Millions of wild pigeons are nesting in the woods on the borders of Forest and Warren Counties, Penn. They are being slaughtered in great quantities and shipped to market. This is the first time since 1880 that pigeons have gone to those woods to rear their young. At that time they filled five miles square of the woods. Their number was estimated at 2,000,000. The colony this year is much smaller than that of 1880. Several negroes recently captured a large sturgeon in Big Creek, Ga. It had been seen swimming around in the creek for more than a week, and that day they went prepared with spikes and axes to capture the monster. The water was three or four feet deep, and it took considerable work to bring him to shore. It was taken to Waynesboro, and weighed eighty-five pounds, and measured six and one-half feet in length. It is the first sturgeon ever captured in the creek. The Reese River (Cal.)

A doctor was at once sent for and the leg was bandag< d tightly above the wound, although it was expected that the man would die before medical assistance could be procured. The leg having been bared for the application of the bandage, was attacked by mosquitoes, and when the physician finally arrived he found the man in good condition, but the ground around where he lay was strewn with dead mosquitoes. Our informant, who overheard the foregoing stoiy told by an "old-fashioned doctor" on a railroad train, said that the nirrator remarked "it was rather hard on the mosquitoes,"' and then he added, in a reflective sort of a way: "I ] r.sunii* the man's life was worth saving.*'?Xcto York Mcdical Journal.

'Tis an ill thing to be ashamed of one's poverty. Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any outward touch as the sunbeam. You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself into one. The love of singularity proceeds from a restless mind, possessing some portion of genius and a large portion of vanity. There can be no study without time; and the ixind must abide and dwell upon things, or be always a stranger to the inside of them. He that procures his child a good mind makes a butter purchase for him than if he laid out the money for an ad dition to his former acres. There is no American boy, however Eoor, however humble, orphan though o may be, who, if he has a clear head, a true heart, a stout arm, may not rise through all the grades of society, and become the crown, the glory, the pillar of the State. Sorrow is not an accidont, occurring now and then?it is the very woof which is woven into the warp of life, and he who has not discerned the divine sacredness of sorrow, and the profound meaning which is concealel in pain, has yet to learn what life is. The cross, manifested as the necessity of the highest life, alone interprets it.

If you are unable to take such exercise on horseback or on foot, that should furnish no excuse for shutting yourself in-doors, brat you should take exercise in a carriage, or in some other way bring yourself in contact with tho open air. Medicines which cause expectoration must be avoided. For five hundred years physicians have tried to cure Consumption by u?ing them, and have failed. Where there is great derangement of the secretions, with engorgement of air-cells, there is always profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure removes the engorgement and the derangement of the secretions, and consequently (and in this way only) diminishes the amount of matter expectorated. This medicine does not dry up a cough, but removes the cause of it. When it is impossible from debility or other causes to exercise freely In the open air. apartments occupied by the patient should be so ventilated as to ensure the constant accession of fresh air in abundance. The surface of the body should be sponged as often as every third day with tepia water and a little soft-soap. (This is preferable to any other.) After thoroughly drying, use friction with the hand moistened with oil, Cod-Liver or Olive-is the beat. This keeps the pores of the skin in a soft, pliable condition, which contributes materially to the unloading of waste matter from the system through this organ. You will please recollic; we cure this d sease by enabling the orpans of the system to perform their lunctions in a n rmal way, or, in other woids, we remove obstruction-, while the recuperative powers of the system cure l he disease. We will here say a word in i egard to a cough in the fi rming stage, where there is no constitutional or noticeable disease. A cough may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take it in its Lni dest form, to say the least, it i> a nuisance, and should be abated. A cough is unlike any other symptom of disease. It stands a conspirator, with threatening voice, menacing the health and existence of a vital organ. Its first approac i is in whispers unintelligible, and at first too often unheeded. but in time it never fails to ma e itself understood?never fails to claim the attention of those on whom it calls. If you have a cough without disease of the lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so much the better, as a few do es of Piso's Cure will be all you may need, while if you ro far advanced in Consumption, several bottles may be required to effect a permanent cure.
