The air of mvsterv which
always prevailes sitound the
State department, is just now
very much intensified, owing
to t he fact that. Mr. Maine
and Sir Julian Pauneefote
are deep into 'he negotia
tions preliinininary to the
arbitration of the Pehring
Sea question, wlucli Air.
Blaine is pleased to think or
to pretend to think that he
has compelled (!reat Britain
to accept, although till the
rest of the world knows that
he never made the slightest
progress toward a settlement
of the dispute, until he re
turned to the position main
tained by Mr. Bayard under
the Cleveland administra-
ion. These negotiations are
not conducted tit the depart
ment. Oh, no. J here are
too many prying newspaper
men always on the watch, so
whenever Mr. Blaine has any
very important business on
hand it is transacted at his
private residence. The ad
ministration leels very much
relieved at the prospect ot a
peaceful settlement of this
question, having last fall be
come fully satisfied that tin?
sentiment of t he country was
opposed to any unnecessary
display of "jingoism.''
Mr. Harrison was anxious
to find a good reason for not
appointing the new Circuit
Court judges created by the
late Congress uatii next win
ter, doubtless believing that
the longer they can be held
the greater their value in
votes at the next republican
national convention, so he
referred the matter to Attor
ney General Miller, expecting
: that he would render an o-
aud the chunorings of the re
publican npplicnntsand their
friends. Mr. Harrison will
find it diiiicult to postpone
the matter very long, al
though he still professes to
be in doubt as to his right
to make them until Congress
is in session.
Treasurer Houston is again
at his desk, although he can
not hide his anxiety to have
his resignation accepted in
order that he may feel at lib
erty to express his opinion
of Mr. Harrison and his ad
ministration. An attempt
was made to get him out of
the way by giving him a
foreign appointment, but he
refused to be caught, and
says that he intends to re
turn to Indiana for the ex
press purpose of taking an
active part in politics, which
is interpreted to mean that
he will do his level best to
prevent that state endorsing
Mr. Harrison.
If things go on for a few
days longer as they have for
several days past, there will
not be a democratic employe
left in the Government print
ing oliie. It is customary
to largely reduce the force
shortly after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and that
reduction is now being made

The London correspondent

in this city :
"Chevalier Daniel Boone,
great grand-nephew of the
pioneer, sailed in the Wyom
ing this week for America
with ten performing lions.
Boone, who is a Kencuckian,
has not been in his native
laud for fifteen years, during
which period he has been o
ver the hunting grounds of
Asia and Africa, capturiug
and taming the king of
beasts. The ten lions he has
with him were all captured
and tamed by himself. He
received the title of Chevalier
from the Sultan of Turkey?"
The correspondent is mis
taken as to the period of Mr.
Boone's absence from "his
native larid. He was in
Lynchburg about six years
ago, and remained for a
short time. He married a
daughter of the late William
Simpson, and his family still
reside in this city Lynch

HE KNEW NORTH EH.
Governor Northenwas just
leaving the Capitol one clay
when a little dude spoke to
him.
"Sav, is the Governor in his
office?"
"No sir."
"Oh, Fll bet he is. lie may
have sent word to you that
he was out, but he'll not treat
me that way."
"Do you know him?"
"Know him? Know Bill
Nuthen? Well I should
smile. We are very intimate.
I spent a month with him
last summer run his cam
paign for him and now he
wants to see me about unim
portant matter.
"I think vou are mistaken
sir."
The speaker's cold stare
and positve tone nettled the
dude.
"May T ask your name" he
asked haughtily.
"Northen is my name."
"Oh aw related t o the
Governor, sir?"
"I am the Governor sir."
"The devil!" exploded the
little dude. And with that he
made a break through the
vacant door, leaving the
Governor looking after him
with an amused smile on his'
face.
