Examinations in Postoflices The Postmaster General has issued an order establishing a Board of Pro motions in the department, to whom shall be refered all questions of pro motions in every clerical grade. The promotions shall be determined by the result of competitive examina tions. Silver Purchasers. Director Leach, of the Mint Bu reau, at Washington, made the fol lowing statement last Saturday on the subject of silver : "The price of Biver today is $1.01, fine ounce, an advance of three or four cents over the price at which silver has brought for several months. I bought largely Wednesday and Friday because I be lieved from indications that the price of silver was going up and that it was to the interest of the Govern ment to get its quota of four and a half million ounces a month at the lowest possible figures. While it is believed that considerable silver rep resented by certificates on the New Tork Stock Exchange 1b held on foreign account, the visible stock, that is stock that is for sale, has de creased and offers to the Government have fallen off largely. For this and other reasons it is thought that the present advance is largely a natural one, with strong probabilities that is will be permanent and progressive Government purchases are evidently making a decided impression on the price. If the wheat crop of India should be as large as reported, it would necessitate increased ship ments of silver to pay for it, and this would have a tendency to increase the value of white metal. The Secre tary has not decided vet whether he will Icontinue the coinage of silver dollar after the first proximo, but will make a decision in that matter promptly on his return to Washing ton this week " Trenton's JSoenped Bear. Philadelpbia Prcw. There is a bear in New Jers y that lives a charmed life. 8he mingles more or less with civilization, but yet is her own mistress. This is the bear that created much havoc in Somerset, Mercer, Hunterdon and Burlington counties, and seems to be bullet proor and trap wise. She is now giving the farmers of the upper part of Mercer county a lively existence. She is the same bear that escaped two summers ago from the 1 renton city park under sensational circum stances. She was then a cub, pur chased for the park in the Poconc mountains by Councilman Edmund C. Hill, who started the little zoolog ical garden which delights the chil dren of Trenton. When the bear ar rived at the Clinton street station by express the box was roughly tumbled J from the car and fell apart. The cub showad her teeth, and at once got the right of way. She dashed across the lawn, and finding an open ing in the fence, entered the yard of the hotel near the depot. She pro ceeded through the kitchen and wandered into the barroom, which was at the time filled. The presence of the cub cleaned out the barroom. The cub followed to the street, but met with a reception of flying brick, and then she took refuge in the Mercer cemetery opposite the station, where she held the fort against sev eral hundred excited men and boys, and was Anally lassoed by a colored man. The bear pit at the park was not yet ready for the cub's reception, so she was locked up in the barn, and the newspapers, out of admiration for the precociousness of the cub, called it Kitty Hill, after Councilman Hill, of the park committee. Two days of confinement wore Kit ty's temper, and one day Kitty un latched the barn door and walked out. She reached the canal that winds its way in front of the palrk and jumped in. The park guards gave a lively chase, and Kitty saved her bacon by swimming from one side of the canal to the other until she distanced them; then she took to the woods. Since then she has been a veritable tourist, and has managed to keep out of the range of bullets and clubs and lived on the fat of the land. She has disturbed the suburban quietness of many places, but defied all the ingenious plans of men to cap ture her. Her appearance iu Mercer county, only a few miles from the park, is a matter of surprise. Those who have seen her say that she is large and fat. She is now in the great bear swamp.fi ve miles above i renton, where she is safe unless hunger causes her to wander. A Bloody Affray. The Wadesboro Intelligencer gives particulars of a bloody affray thatoc enrred last night in tlie Long neighborhood of Aneou county. weapons used consisted of pistols, brass knucks, kuives and weeding hoes, The belligerents iu the affair were Rev. T. W. Kendell and two sons, V. A. and Pearl, aged about 23 and 15 respectively aud Mr. William Thomas and two sons, Charles and Shelton, aged about 23 and 21. All the parties engaged in the affray weie more or less hurt V. H. Ken dall being dangerously wounded. Bad blood exist d between the two families for some time, dating from a quarrel about a negro woman the Thomases claim the Kendalls enticed from their service. They met Monday morning about sunrise in a field tended by the Ken dalls and the trouble began, ending only with the utter exhaustion of the combatants. The casualties are stated as follows: V. A. Kendall shot in side with pistol; cut in side with a knife; arm cut open with a weeding hoe; wounds dangerous. Wm. Thomas shot in head with pistol; shot in arm with pistol; hit on head with brass knucks; ileeh wounds and not dangerous. Charley Thomas shot in one arm; other arm broken by a lick from a stick. T. W. Kendall badly bruised on different parts of the body. Shelton Thomas cut on heel with weeding hoe, and bruised on body. Pearl Kendall hit on head with hoe handle; not seriously hurt. Rev. T. W. Kendall is a local Meth odist preacher, and is well known in Anson and adjoining counties. Mr. Wm. Thomas and his sons are men of good character iu t heir neigh borhood.

St. Louis Republic. Among the curious enigmas of na ture which have remained unsolved to the present day is the growth of a forest upon the site once occupied by one which differed in character from the latter growth. Some have sup posed that the seeds from which the second forest sprang had been lying undeveloped in the ground for a great length of time, perhaps centuries, but the improbability of seeds re taming their vitality lor such a length of time, and under the cons ditions to which they would neces sarily be exposed, makes that theoiy rather implausible; and, besides, this speculation fails to account for the origin of the seeds necessary to pro duce the second growth. What reader can explain this riddle or tell us why species of weeds and grass wholly different from those found in the Bur rounding country spring up wher ever the earth is turned, even if the point of disturbance be in the center of a grassy plain 500 or 1,000 miles from where such weeds are known to flourish, Commemorative services wers held in the First Presbyterian Church of Norfolk in honor of Rev. George D. Armstrong, D. D., who has retired lifter a pastorate of forty years. The New Copyright Law. The new International Copyright Law which gives to foreign authors American copyright protection in ex change for foreign protection to American authors, went into effect July 1st. Mr. A. R. Spofford,- Li brarian of Congress and probably the most book-learned man in Aincr ca, says:- The addition to the work of the copyright office at Washington, through the extension of the copy right system, will no doubt be very considerable. It is not likely, how ever, to show a very large increase immediately, since some time will be required for new publishing arrange ments and contracts to be entered into by foreign authors, who may avail themselves of the privilege of copyright here. It is. not probable that the importation of foreign printed books now extant will be affected in any way, although that is not absolutely certain, but the im portation from abroad of all books written and published after the law goes into effect, except such books as claim copyright here, will be sum marily cut off. Odds and Ends The newest thing in chirography is the most indecipherable. The amount of gold in the world would lit in a room twenty-four feet each way. A scheme for a Bunday theater is being promoted in London, and is expected to succeed. For cankered throat, sore, mouth, etc., use borax and honey; drink sage or slippery elm tea. It takes about three seconds for a message to go from one end of the Atlantic cable to the other. The highest railroad bridge in the United States is the Kinzua viaduct, on the Eric road 305 feet high. According to Richard M. Johnston, the author, Joel Chandler Harris sometimes gets $500 for a magazine article.
