Ni vv Yi.uk, Jan, 18.—A special to
the World from London says:
"Knowing the deep interest you
take in maintaining the understand-
ing between this country and Amer-
ica. ! have no hesitation in sending
you the following letter from Sii
William Dcsvoux, who is a man of
large experience and late governor
of Hong Cong. He spent a year in
Venezuela and therefore knows the
subject thoroughly.

"As the desire appears to be gen-
eral on linlh sides of the Atlantic for
an amicable settlement with Vene-
zuela of the boundary question
winch has recently received such lie-
lielious importance, I venture to
make a suggestion, which, besides
other advantages, may tend to facil-
itate and shorten negotiations.
"We learn from Caracas that any
proposal for settlement will lie re-
ferred to \\ ashington for approval
Venezuela, as she has a perfect right
to do, has thus practically chosen

diplomatic relations .villi us, it might

her behalf.
"Such an arrangement would pro-

siding ii- with a civilized and stable
.government with which to negotiate,
while our acceptance of it would go
tai to ' "m ilitate fet ling ill the Cull-
ed States. If one or more negotia-
tors were then appointed by Ihe
1 'tilled states ami an equal Great
lint inn. they, actuated ou both sides
by an earnest desire for peace and

fore them, might be expected to

premature."

tate of Prank Moore, deceased, was

ing a grand total $l2,ti')(), all of
which, the .loiirnal says, was well
sold. However, the purchasers of
one of the tiaets, was offered next
day, over and above the sum
t hey had paid (. ir ! lie t ract.
I'he following special from Mon-
y, Mexico, glvta an account of
the death of Dave Kay, which oc-
curred iu that city, ou the 10th:
"On December Ji'Jth, there arrived
in this city a man who registered at
tho Hidalgo hotel, as 1). Hay, of
Houston, Texas, llu was a large,
line-looking tnan, and appeared to
have coiho here for rest, as he had
no business to occupy his time.
This morning when the manager of
the hotel inspected the rooms lie
found Mr. Kay dead iu bed. it is
said that he came here from Yoakum.
Report also savs that the man be-
longs at LuGrangc, Texas. The
authorities have taken charge of his
body and effects, and it is i'ssuiued
made an autopsy with a view of
ascertaining the cause of death, but
no definite information is obtain-
able." Dave Kay was well known
iu llastrop, where he spent most of
his time for several years.
No one at all posted in regard to
the political situation can for a mo-
ment doubt that both Maryland and
Kentucky if called upon to vote again
to day, would givi hcav\ Democratic
majorities. When they struck down
their party candidates last November
or .sacrificed I hem b_j abstaining from
voting, they felt that they were in re-
ly exercising the right to "wahip
their own jackass" and set their own
disordered houses to lights; but they
did not think of the moral effect of
their action, or dream of the spiiit of
exultation that would rule in the
camps of their whilom udvesaries.
I'he result however has suprised, en-
raged and disgusted 'hem: They
find the Republicans congratulating
themselves upon their skill and pow-
er, and now they long f ir an oppor-
tunity to make them again "bite the
dust."—Aberdeen (Miss.) Exam-

A little girl nine years of age, near
Portsmouth, Ohio, had presence of
mind enough to save a heavily load-
ed passenger train on the Baltimore
& Ohio Southwestern railroad from
being w recked last week. The little
girl was out with a lantern looking
for a horse, and found it stuck fast
in a bridge at a sharp curve of the
road. Realizing the danger to the
train that was nearly due, the child
quickly gathered sticks and chips at
a point some hundred yards from
the bridge, and piling them in the
center of the tnu#., lit the |>iie from
her lantern, and kept, il blazing until
liie train came along and stopped
within a few feet of it, to learn the
story of danger and rescue, from the
baby herione.
