Mr. S. S. Cot, who has been men
tioned of late as a possible candidate
for the mayoralty of lyew York, em
phatically denies that the rumor has
any foundation or tha the idea meets
his approval in any way. ne says :
I would not accept a nomination for
mayor if It were nnanimoosly ten
dered to me. Such a position is for
eign o all my tastes, i My place is in
Congf-ess. I am fitted for that by
fcrainijag,: experience ;and tempera
ment! and I shall again; be a candi
date for Congress (his fall. I am
confident, too, that I will be elected.
I saymoft emphatically that no man
has any right to connect my name
with the mayoralty. J suspect that a
good Ideal Of that kind o talk is in
stigated by those who wish to get me
out of Congress. ?
Son Henry Smith! of Wiscon
sin, who waa elected to i Congress on
a labor platform, in -explaining why
he voted for th. Mils bill says,
among other things, hist reasons for
voting for the bill are becaase the
large surplus of money in the treasury
is "fraught with danger to the bus i-
ness Interests of the country by witn
drawing that medium; from the chan
nels Qf trade, which, if pot Btopped,
will cause a panic and result in bank
ruptcy to a large extent; because his
personal experience is that cheap raw
materials; which the ffliUa bill se
curest, never reduced wages in a man
ufactpry,: but, on tho contrary, had a
tendency to raise tbemr; because he
does not believe , nation can be
haDDV Or prosperous ij, taxation,
"nor; should a republican form of
government like ours exact from the
people by taxation more than is
actually iequired for an economical
administration of public; affairs"; be
cause a liarge accumulation of ,money
in the. treasury becpmel a factor of
demoralisation in many ways, and also
because he finds that "in those States
that I are supposed to receive the
benefit of a protective tariff there is
more' dissatisfaction, strikes and lock
outs than in States ot so protected."

Something About P.arW
.No city in the world, we read, was
ever richer in precious pearls than
Rome in the time of the Caesars.
Special mention is made of Lollia
Pollena, wife of Caius Caligula. "I
have seen her," says Pliny, "so be
decked with emeralds and pearls dis
posed in rows, ranks, and courses,
one by another, round about the at
tire of her head, her peruke of hair,
her band grace and chaplet, hangirjg
at her ears, round her neck as an
ornament in a carcanet, upon her
wrists as bracelets, and on her fingers
in rings, that she glittered and shone
like the sun as she went," The habit
was so common of using . pearls as a
base to throw up the brilliance of
other gems that we may, perhaps,
believe even in Caligula's slipper of
pearls, with rubies and emralds set
upon them like flowers.
The Roman ladies had a special
favor for pearls as earrings, and it
was one of their consuming ambitions
to possess exceptionally fine speci
mens for this purpose. They pre
ferred the pearshaped pearls, and
often wore two or three of them
strnng together. They jingled gently
SB they moved about fitting accorn
paniment, it may be said, to their
graceful movements; an 1 from thH
jingling they got their uamts whifh
was crotalia, or "rattles."
And the taste of the Roman lauit-s
for pears has perpetuated itself,
though other of the aucient luxurious
habits, which in their case accom
panied it, nave long dieU out. ine
women of Florence even now are not
contented if they do not possess a
necklet of pearls, and this generally
forms the marriage portion of the
middle-class women. It is thought,
just as it waa in ancient Rome, that
this gives an air of respectability, and
forms a sure protection from insnlt
in the streets or elsewhere.
Pearls are only twice mentioned in
in the authorized version of the Old
Testament, and both times it is used
as a symbol of wisdom.
Some critics have held that the
Hebrew word did not exactly mean
pearl, but since there can be no doubt
that our Saviour referred to the tru
pearl when he spoke of the "pearl nf
great price," we may the mors im
plicitly accept it, and gather from the
Use of the pearl as a figure by tbe
Jewish writers that a perfect pearl
has been rare in all ages, and cbnsid-
red of the greatest value
i may be presumed, from what
We have just said, the Romans class
ed first among pearls those which
were pear-shaped, and gave to them
the name of unio, or unique, a name
now in our scientific terminology
attached with fitness, as we have
Seen, to tbe species of melluse from
which some of the most perfect pearls
are obtained.
To be perfect," says Mr. Em
manuel in hia valuable work ou gems,
a pearl must be of perfectly pure
white color, it must be perfectly
round or drop shaped; it must be
mmuxj ni ouspTtrenr, it uiusi
from spots or blemiBb; and must
possess the lustre characteristic of
the gem."
At the breaking up of the crown-
.treasury of France iu 1791, a magnifi
cent large spherical pearl unboreu,
was sold for 8,000; and two pear-
Sfcapea ones, wmcn eacn weigueu
- T m J A AAA
14 grains, were valued at xtz.uuu.
Another famous pearl of history was
that sold to Philip the Fourth of
Soain in 1625. It is said that the
Shah of Persia is the happy possessor
of a pearl valued at JU0,uuu a
goodly estate in small compass, light
and portable and the Iman of Mus
cat one for which he has been onerea
30,000.
The second division in the Komau
classification of pearls was "Mar
garites," which' included pearls of
any shape or color, large and mis
shapen often, but often, too, of ex
ceptional purity and beauty, xne
jewellera of the Cinque-Cento period,
with tbe fertile ingenuity that distin
guished them, gave a new value to
hese eccentric specimens Dy mount
ing them in styleB as ecceu-
tric. Mermaids and sea-mou-
sters were favorite dtsigns; and
some illustrations of this treatment
are to be seen in collections in this
country, notably in tbe Devonshire
Cabinet.
Unlike most gems, the pearl comes
to ub fresh, pure, lustrous, direct
from the hand of nature. Other
precious stones undergo much care
ful labor at tbe hands of the lapidary,
and sometimes owe much to his art.
Diamond-cutting is indeed, a branch
of art, and cameo carving is a yet
higher one. But the pearl owes
nothincr to man.
This perhaps has a good deal to ao
- . n i v
with the sentiments we cnerisn to
wards it. It touches us with the
same sense of simplicity and truth as
the mountain daisy or the wild rose
It is absolutely a erift of nature s
own. When we turn rrom iub uui
liant. dazzling coronet of diamonds
or emeralds to a necklace of peaile,
there is a sense of relief, of soft re
freshment. The eye rests on it with
'duiet. satisfied repose. It seems bo
truly to typify steady and aDiamg bi-
fection, which needs no accessory or
adornment to make it more attractive.

tunny Ways or Hotels In Japan.
From the St. Louis tilot Oemocrat.
There is no general dining room
and no set hour for meals at a Japan
ese inn. The guest claps his hands
and orders his food at any hour of
the day or night, and it is brought to
his room on a lacquer tray and set on
the floor before him, or, at moat, ele
vated on a table or oven, about four
inches higb. Iu a small room open
ing from tbe office and entrance room
cf ihe tea house two cirls were sort
itg the landlord's new tea, just
brought in from tbe country. Ihev
sat beforo a large table, raised only a
rew inches from the floor, and from a
heap of tea at one end scattered little
bandfuU of tea leaves out thinly over
the lacquer top. With their deft
fingers tney si d off to one side the
smallest aud finest leaves from the
tips of the new shoots of tbe tea
laot, and tbe larger and coarser
leaves were slipped to tbe other tide
into a box to themselves. They did
it so quickly and with -uch a sure.
quick touch that it was a pleasure to
watcn them, and to judge by the coy
giggling and conscious tittering it
wa3 a pleasure to the two prettv
maids to be watched so at'ehtively.
In another corner of the vestibule
place two other little maids were at
work at what corresponds to putting
on clean pillow caves in other coun
tries. The Japanese pillow is a
wooden box with a little padded roll
on top, and at iuns tbo pa 1 is covered
with a fresh bit of soft hite
mulberry paper each day-
iue bath-room of a Japanese inn is
public and open 'o the world as I
the kitchen, (runerallv without anv
door, aud with glass walls or screens
at tae most. In passing through to
the rooms hack or going up staiis one
always has the barn in view; often a
large tank, where three or four can
socially dip together. From the late
afternoon until midnight or later
there is alwiva a splashing in the
bath room and steam issuing from the
open door, as, the natives stand im
mersion in boiling water with tbe
geseTemperature.' UYteu Tue" t u"6
is a small one, and then several peo
ple take turns in tbo same bath water.
Foreigners .being known to be queer
on the subject of bathing, preferring
to bathe alone and unseen, and to
have fresh water each time, are gen
erally invited iu first.
Ihe master, as they call the mascu
line head of our party, was invited to
the bath-room at Mishtma at 5 o'clock
the first afternoon. He found it a
doorless, glass-Bided apartment, but
the landlord quieted him by bringing
in a folding screen about three feet
high and setting it between the tub
and the general view of the oifioe,
corridor, garden and main street. A
too vigorous sweep nf the bather s
arm knocked the screen down, and
the foreigner had to drop to his chin
in the water and call for help. The
two girls who were sorting tea ran in
ami set the screen up as coolly and
and as much without ' thought as a
home servant would go iu to put up
the blower on the parlor grate. There
are harrowing stories still handed
down of the experiences of early trav
elers in the interior, who had tbe
whole tea house and town crowd to
the bath-room of an ion, and filled the
air with their admiration of the beau
tiful white skin of tbe foreign bather
In tbe old time the bath-tub used
quite as often to be beside tbe door
stop, and he who travelled the coun
try roads might see the inbabibitants
in tbe aot of nearing godliness as he
rode by at sundown, and the people
lost nothing that passed by.
THE REPUBLICAJ TARIFF BILL,.
OUTLISE OF IT8 PROVISIONS,
i .
Wash. Ot.r. N. T. Evening PosL
A gentleman who haB . been con
sulted by the Senate finance sub-committee
as to the Republican tariff bill
says this of it: It will be a protect
ive bill. It will seem to . reduce the
reve :ues $60,000,000. Tbe average
reduced rate on tbe dutiable list is
computed at 42 per cent, but tbe re
ductions are so distributed as to make
the bill thoroughly protective. It
abolishes the internal taxes on to
bacco, removes the tax on alcohol
used in the arts, manufactures and
medicines, but does not touch the tax
on whisky and beer ; corrects the de
cision that worsteds are not woolens,
prevents the entry of frozen fish as
fresh fish for immediate consumption,
lowers duties on a few articles that
are not, produced in this country in
considerable quantities, and raises
duties as to ruany articles. The su
gar duty ia reduced to 41 per cent.
Wool, farm produce, lumber, and all
other articles that cr.n be produced
in this country which am on the free
list in tbe Milia bill are transferred
to the dutiable list, The free list will
not ba la-ge, and w4li contain chiefly
articles that are not made or pro
duced here.

AUGUSTA.
THE CITY INVITES THE PRESI
DENT TO HI PRESENT AT ITS EXPOSITION TO
BE IIXLD TU13 FALL OTHER XEWS.
Washisotos, D. C, Aug. 4. Major
Barnes, the Representative in Con
gress from the Augusta (Ga.) district,
accompanied by Senators Brown and
Colquitt and tbe two South Carolina
Senators, Hampton and Butler, called
on tbe President yesterday and ex
tended an invitation to him and Mrs.
Cleveland and the, members of his
Cabinet and their families to visit
Augusta during the EipoBition to be
held there this fall. The affair was
of an entirely informal character and
devoid of ceremony.
Major Barnes was tbe chief talker
anl his remarks were endorsed
by the other members of the
delegation. I le said that Augus
ta had raised for the Exposition
by private subscription a larger
amount bf money than had ever been
raised by any other Southern city for
such a purpose and that the exposi
tion was to be of a. national character.
The people of Augusta had depended
entirely upon themselves and had not
solicited outside aid. The exposition
building would be larger than any
which had ever been erected in the
South. Augusta, Mr. Barnes said,
was different from other Southern
cities. It was an old town and its
people were old fashioned, conserva
tive folks. Tbe history of the town
was spoken of and the attention of
tbe President was drawn to
the fact that it had wel
comed Washington to its hospitality
during his first administration. The
people of Augusta, he said, would re
joice to welcome the President as an
illustrious successor of Washington.'
The President in reply cordially
thanked the delegation for the invita
tion extended to him, but said that in
the present state of public business,
Congress being still in session, it was
impossible for him at present either
to accept or decline tbe invitation.
He would, however, take the matter
under advisement aud would subse
quently inform the - delegation of his
decision. Maj Barnes expects to re
ceive a definite answer in about ten
days. - '

The modes of death's approach are v
rious, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs than any other. It
is probable that every, one, without ex
ception, receives vast numbers of Tuber
cle Ueims into the, system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
and is shown by a si ight tickling sensa
tion in the throat and if allowed to con
tinue their ravages they extend to the
lungs producing consumption and to the
head, causing catarrh. Now all this is
dangerous and if allowed to proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing a
cold to go without attention is dangerous
and may lose you your life. As soon as
you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee s German Syrup. It
will give you immediate relief.
