The National Zoological Park has received from New York a handsome ocelot kitten, very tame and tractable. 11 is a beautifui specimen and takes great delight in running about the office, The Government’s Silver Purchases. The director of the mint said yesterday in regard to the criticism on his action in refusing to make public the prices paid by the govern- ment for silver: ‘The daily prices at which sil- ver is purchased by the goverument havenever been made public under any administration. We have been buying silver for twelve and a half years for the silver dollar coinage, and until I became director it was never the prac- tice to make public avy of the details of the transaction, not even the amount purchased daily. This administration is the first that has given the daily papers any information on the subject. In the absence of the Secretary I did not feel warranted in changing the practice of the department for the past twelve years and make public the price paid each day.” As there seems to be a strong sentiment that this should be done I intend to communicate with the Sec- retary on the subject. Yhis much I will say: There will be no attempt upon the part of the Treasury Department to buy silver ‘cheap’ or to beat Uown the price. The government will pay the full market price and will buy 4,500,000 ounces month if it is to be had, ‘The admin- istration desires to see the price of silver ad- vance und there will be no attempt in the exe- cution of the new law to throw obstacles in the way.” Decisions Under the Customs Law.

Paris Correspondence of the London Telegraph. Much amusement has been caused here by the trial of an action in which M. de Gaste, the deputy for Brest, sought to have his daughter— who is forty years of age—declared incom- petent to manage her own affairs. The lady was married toa M. Exquiron. M. de Gaste is the champion of ‘‘women's rights” in the French chamber. Not only would he give women votes, but he is anxious to see them sitting in parliament as deputies or senators. Afortight ago he introduced a bill to that effect, but it was rejected summarily without discussion. It was therefore, with surprise that politicians heard of the abnegution of his cherished principle of women being as good as men—if not better—in managing the affairs of the nation as well as their own, by seeking this interdiction against his own daughter. M. de Guste set up the plea that Madame Esquirou was hystericul. ‘The lady's reply was emphatic and disciosed a peculiar system of educa’ on. “You say lam nervous and hysterical! the answer to her father’s request; “well, it ry not your fuuitif Iam uot driven crazy.
