He is going late in tho spring or early in the summer, and will be back in time to attend the notable army meeting here in October, (ien. Sherman has always had a partial side for the west ern posts and the officers and soldiers of tho frontier, and he has long made it a practice to go to the farthest posts once a year, to show the boys they are not forgotten. On this trip he will devote himself particular ly to Montana, Oregon, and California. Much of the distance will be made on horse back, and the general will always have a cavalry escort. He will be accompanied by only two members of his staff. Cols. Tour tellotte and Bacon, and but two of the par ticular friends will go as his guests name ly, Chief Justice Waite and Justice Grey of the supreme court. THE TREASUIIV. Assistant Secretary French, who is now acting as secretary of the treasury, said, in response to inquiries, that he did not think: the present state of the public treasury would justify the anticipation of interest on the called bonds which will mature on the 1st of May next. He said also ho would not issue another bond unless specially di rected to do so by Secretary Folger. The latter is known to be opposed to making an other call at present and also anticipating interest on the bonds embraced in the last call if it can be avoided. He will, however, accept the proposition of the comptroller of the state of New York to surrender for re demption on the 1st of April next $2,(00,000 in bonds included in the last call, with the understanding that tho interest upon them shall cease on that date. TROURLE FOH THE POOH CLERKS.

HISMAuck's DKCBXE. . The proposition to enact retaliatory leg islation against Germany in view of the edict against the importation of Americnn pork, will, perhaps, be more favorably re ceived when it is known that tho State De partment some time ago, on the request of the New York Chamber of Commerce, of ficially invited the German Government to send to this country a competent scientific observer to look into the condition of the American hog and tho mnnner in which it Is prepared for consumption and shipment. The German Government has so tar de clined to do this, which yet would seem to be a reasonable way to ascertain con clusively whether our hog products are in jurious to tho consumers. Tho German Government insists on excluding only the pork of America, and that on a pretext which, being officially set up by a responsi ble Government, tends to injure tho repu tation of American hog products in all other countries. Tlds is so manlfestlv unfair that, unless that Is discontinued, Congress can scarcely fail to take notice of it, and our imports from Germany are large enough to make retaliatory measures entirely possi ble. THE MIANTONOMOH'S TltlCMPn. The monitor Miantonomoh having braved the raging Delaware river and reached the Washington navy-yard, thus establishing her triumphant success as a war vessel, has been ordered out of commission. Having left League island on a fair day, with a fair and gentle breeze, with a speed developed of about three knots an hour, and with nn other vessel kept close to her to pick up her crew in case she should sink, she reached the TVashlngton navy-ynrd In time to per mit Robeson to take the naval committee on board to see what an admirable craft John Itoach had turned out. True, on the first day of getting up steam Iter bilge pumps foiled to work, out Mr. Boach fixed them. Some fault was found also with the steer ing gear, a now device of four separate en gines, one relieving the other every two hours, so that the services of a quartermas ter are dispensed with. The experiments proved that it took the engines seven mi.i utes to put over the vessel s helm, but this was not a serious matter on a vessel going three miles an hour. Besides, as she was in tow of a steam tug, if It was necessary to change her course suddenly a hawser could be made fast to the monitor's bow, and her head could be pulled around in the required direction. There Is a popular mis conception of the true use of an American monitor. Not one of them can be depend ed upon to keep a straight course under steam, for-the engines are always unable to give them steerage way, but they are ex pected to yaw all over the river. A moni tor, therefore, can be depended on to run down seven vessels out of any ten lying in roads, and is invaluable against nn anchor ed hostile Meet. CORN AND WHEAT. An investigation of the consumption and distribution of corn and wheat to March 1 has been completed by tho department of agriculture. It makes the stock of com on hand at that date about ftHO.OOO.OOO bushels, or H6 per cent of last year's crop. Of this, hno.OOO 000 bushels are in the states of the central basin north of Tennessee, and "08, 000,000 bushels in the southern states. Most of the remainder Is In the middle states. In comparison with the average stock nf the rrsaf five vosrn at the sstne aate mere is scarcely any increase in -he west or middle states. In the south the percentage of the crop remaining Is 43 In stead ot Ho, Taking all the states together the Increased stock Is about 2 per cent. Tho seven surplus corn states from Ohio west to Nebraska and Kansas, 1 lustve, had :H per cent, of crop on hand, . gainst 27 per cent last March und 8tf per cent of the crop of 180, on the 1st of Maicb I8BL when the es timated stocks were 418,000,000 bushels. The present total Is about 820,000, 000 against WK) 000,000 bushels last March. In Illinois and Iowa the proportion on hand is less than the average of the previous five yea s. In Missouri and Kansas it is greater. The distribution of the quantity already con sumed Illustrates the rural economy of dif ferent sections. In all the south about one fifth is used for the food of man, over one half for the feed of work animals, the re mainder for feeding swine and cattle. In the west, half Is used for feeding for meat production, 0 per cent for the food of man, one-fifth for feeding work animals, and a proportion not much larger is shipped to distant markets. The proportion of w4ieat on hand March I Is 28 jier cent, of the crop, or about 140 ' 000,000 bushels. The propor tion of tho last five years at that date Is nearly the same. In the states of the cen tral basin the total reported on hand is 104, 000,000 bushels. The proportion remaining in the southern states is 25 per cent, Instead of 22 In the average of previous years. In the Pacific states tho percentage is 23, In st 1 of the former average of 20 per cent. T otails of distribution will be givou at length in the March report. A PKOFITAHI.E BUSINESS. The week after congress adjourns alw s sees a brisk trade in public documents, l piles of them are now lying heaped uj 1 the second hand book stores. When a i gress draws to an end the members find it now they stand on the books at tho document-room and take good care that their credit is exhausted before their term of of ficial life has ended. Many of these books are rubbish, and many of them are docu ments of considerable value. They have al so, of course, a greater or less local value. Thus a city member will have very little use for an agricultural report and will swap his quota of these volumes for documents on manufacturing industries and the like which a fellow-member from a rural dis trict will have no use for. Sometimes mem hers will buy documents in large numbers, so as to comply with the desires of constit uents. The niiblie document most in de mand is the agricultural reports, of which an annual edition of :i00,000 copies is print ed. Each member of course has toward a thousand volumes for distribution, but, not satisfied with this, some members buy the document by the thousands at the rate of 10 cents a copy and send them broadcast through the districts to make tliein solid with their farmer constituents. Many members make a practice of supplying their constituents with all public documents they ask for. When a request for some volume comes to hand, they either get a cony from a fellowmember In exchange, or, If neces sary, go out among the book stores and buy a copy. They say It is cheaper to do this than to go into a long explanation and per haps make an enemy. Thus there is a con stant and large demand by members them selves for all sorts of public documents, not to speak of business brought by the sales to public libraries and individual col lectors. The business is vast in its propor tions, as will readily be understood if we reflect that congress orders 82,000,000 worth of printing done annually, and the middle men who stand between the self-appointed almoners of this country and the reading public reap a ricli hai vest.
