It is the `; first and most positve sign of old bach- = elorhood. A young bachelor is rather pleased with the idea otbeing suspected of a tender passion. A widower makes love to all women generally, and is quite safe and comfortable notwith- standing. But the most proper of old bachelors, who. when alone with a lady, keeps as far from her as the walls of the apartment will permit, is `always suffering secret pangs of ter- gror.

It is a well-known principle in interna- tional law that the lines of demarca- ; tion between contiguous territories should be dened by natural boundary ` lines, such as great rivers, estuaries or mountain ranges. It was afrmed by the late Czar of Russia. as arbi- trator in a similar dispute between Dutch Guiana. and French Guiana, that the larger river ,_c_ourse, in the ab- sence or the clearest evidence to the contrary. should be the natural boun- dary line. The only two `rivers answer- ing this description 'are the Essequibo and the Orinoco. As Spain had al- ways held and colonized the basin of the Orinoco, and Holland in a similar manner had held the Essuquibo and its tributaries, Schomburg xed upon the next largest river, course lying be- tween the two, the Amacura, which forms the bast of the Schomburg line. forms the base of the Schomburg line. A settlement of this matter has been allowed to iremain in abeyance _.b.3ll these years because, in the first place, .the territory involved was thought to f be of little or no value _untii the dis- *covery of gold, about ten Years ago; secondly, all the inhabited iporto `of British Guiana had been conned -'3 a strip of land along the sea cos ric- voted exclusively to` sugar plant:-*1;-, and extending around inland about fteen miles. Since emancipation of slavery, in 1834. the negroes refuse tqe: work regularly, and large numbers oi.` coolies from East India, amounting to about 7,000 a year, have been reg-ularl`y imported attrom India-to work on the estates. This was `done at a- very heavy expense,` and the planters, who con- trolled the Dolicy of the government (8 man sreqiiiring to be a possessor or eighty acres` of. land. forty of which should be bona fide in cultivation, to be eligible to a seat in the Legislature), naturally were averse `to any mamg being taken to develop or facilitate ac- cess to`t_he'vast country lying behind them. `1'e_arln"g\ that their labor supply would be drawn away. from` them.

The Dutch laid out sugar and coffee plan- tations upon the Essequibo from the ' mouth of the Cuyuni River around the coast to D the Pdmeroon, -the majority of which plantations are in cultivation to-day. At no time has Venezuela ever had any foothold there, -nor has there been a settlement, or even a clearing` east of the Schomburg line. On the other hand, the writer, who was one of the rst white men to pene- trate that country, fteen years ago. before any gold was discovered, found a dreary trackless waste, where the Indianwas monarch of all he survey- ed., At the same time remains of Dutch forts are to be seen well up the ` Cuyuni River almost as far asthe Uruan, where the difculty of` on`!- posts occurred about a year ago. In the Barima. remains of Dutch aban- doned estates, with large canals, can be seen to-day. All this would go to show that the presumption of evi- dence as afforded by previous occu- pation would be in favor of the Dutch as against the Spanish claimant. 1-.. 10111 n...L..; t)..u..I...

The Spaniards settled on the Orinoco about the Yea!` `1580, the Dutch at the Pomeroon in the * same year.` They `were dislodged from their settlement by the Spaniards thre- years later. and their next successful `attempt .at colonization was in 1611, on an island called Kyk-Over-All, near ` the mouth of the Essequibo River. This was the principal seat or government for 100 years, until the capital was removed to Stabroek, called George- town when taken over by the British By the peace of Amiens, in 1803, Hol-- land's possessions in what is known as the colonies oi!

'..A-._ IICIC: 5 A year ago two. American" prospec- tors crossed from the English to the Venezuelan territory at Uruan; onpthe one side the Venezuelans had a sta- tion with fifty men: on the other, the English two sub-inspectors and vve `men; the Americans were promptly` arrested, being without passports, and in responseto their appeal, Inspector Barnes crossed to the Venezuelan side to mediate in their "favor. He was im- mediately placed under v arrest; the Venezuelans then crossed the river. tore down the Eglish ag, trampled it to pieces, and placed the whole guard under arrest, the station being entirely looted. The men were march- `ed over a rough country to Bohvar, where word was receivedfrom Presi- dent Crespo .to set" them free. -The American miners were forced to cross the country with ropes around their necks; one of them died upon arrival at Bolivar from the ill-treatment re- ceived, and the other escaped-to Trini- dad. broken in health, with all his property gone. A statement of these facts was submitted to the State De- partment by the United States Consul, Dr.Spright,but nothing has been heard of any demand made to: redress from the Venezuelan Government. Although this outrage occurred over a year ago. Venezuela, up to the present, has or- tered no apology or indemnity` to Great Britain, although one has now been peremptorily demanded. That this has been so is only one of the many proofs that Great Britain, conscious of her right and strength. has shown ex- treme anxiety to defer to the wishes 01.` this country as far as is compati-ble with her dignity and self-respect. There will be no war." War between two such countries as England and the United States upon such a trivial matter would be the greatest crime the world has ever witnessed. It is im- possible for these two countries to go` to arms without bringing on a general European war, the result of which no one can calculate in its loss of blood and treasure. The house of Roths- . j childs is composed of ve different na- tionalities, one ' English, another French, another Austrian, another Ger- man, but_ they are `all Rotschilds. With the enormous interests they have at stake and the power they can bring to . bear on the various Governments, who dare not go to war without their con- sent, it may be taken for granted that such pressure will be brought to bear as will remove all possibility of con- I met. In order that both. the United States and Great Britain can with- draw honorably and without loss of prestige. a way will be found whereby intimation will be conveyed to Venez- uela that she must deal directly with British Guiana, which, in 'turn will be i instructed to make come concession on the Schomburg line either in money or territory, and that will be the end of the matter. In the meantime Brit- i_sh Guiana will ,have got an immense amount. or free advertising, and the losses already indicted by President Cleveland's hasty and ill-advised ac- tion will render impossible hs nomina- tion asa future preident. - all X\.ll\JVV VVIIGIL II.

Several attempts at compromise have been made in years past, but came t_o naught, owing` to the demand of Venezuela, backed up by the United States; to extend the mat- ter to the line of the,_Essequibo. As this country has been in continuous possession of the Dutch and afterward English territory for 200 years, where millions of capital are invested, can it be wondered that Great Britain should refuse most 'positively to submit the lives and property of her subjects to such a Government as that 013 Venez- uela?

Mr. Perot, an American citizen, at once went to Venezuela. and protested. against this high-handed action, and was thrown into prison, where he was only" released by the good `offices or the English Consul, and was glad to get out of "the country with his life. 1:~...........: a....1- 4.1.... -1..- 1.--`- .-..-....-ms.-.5 I `Milk as a FiVr:- Extinguisher. vii- _ , _ g, Illl "You needn't fret so about it, Maria. my dear," said Mrs. Tompkins. `'There s not a more particular lady in the world than Miss Prim--one not anxious to be younger than she is, either.
