blood into black veins to Caucasianize
the whole race, if the blood was gen

WasHiNGros. Oct. 15.—The reports
now g prepared by the heads of
| the vari departments of the govern
| ment ¥ expected to contain some in
| terestin, recommendations to con
| gress. ;mm the treasury department
sOme «u“er.l. i~ on the carrency ques
tion ar%" looked for. The postmasier
generallas is well known, will make a
fr-,ulurcél postal savings banks. From
| the war and navy departments there
are expeeted -ome interesting duts
and recommendations regarding forti
fications and vaval eguipment. The
, Hawaiian and (üban questions will
probably figur: in the president's mes
| sage, and from the department of jus
itim: may come soggestions touching
| matters ‘that hixve been before it this
': summer, ‘()m» of the idsas which See
retary Wilson., «f the agricaitural de
| partmeng, w advance in his
| report isthat of having agricnltaral
| attaches @t [ nited States cmbnssies
! and legations in Europe, just as mili
tary and maval attaches are now de
tailed to some of these stations.
Interest in the immigration guestion
is likely to be greater in the preseng
congress than it wos in the last. The
reeent troubles in the Pennsylvania
| eoal regions hLave attracted o preat
| deal of attention to certain foreign
| elements that have pained entrance to
| this country. The bill which President
| Cleveland vetoed just prior to going
| out of office will be revived and proba
| bly made much ~tronger. The princi
, pal feature of this bill was the educa
| tional test, which. it isclaimed, “would
! keep out almost o1 of the undesirable
immigrants and not affeet more than
| five per cent. of those coming from
Great Britain, Germany, Norway and
| Sweden and other Luropean countries
that furnish an intelligent, hard
| working and desirable class of immi
| grants, who come here with the inten
: tion ¢f becoming citizens of the United
i States.” 1. V. Powderly, commissioner
general of immigration. has long been
! convinced that the character of thon
| sunds of Europeans who come to the
| United States is such that string-or
| laws should be passed to keep ther.
l out. He is now in a position to ad
| vance his ideas with the probability of
‘ their receiving attention. and itis like
! 1y that he will make recommendations
in his report to the seeretury of the
| treasury.

A.J. Smith at the soldiers’ home with |
dynamite, was arraigned in the United |

-1 ing to murder Gov, Smith and attempt
ing to commit manslaughter on
| Mrs. Smith. His attorneys argued
|at length to gquash the indiet
ment on the ground thatdynamite was
| not a deadly weapon. Judge Foster |
| held that dynamite and giant powder
| were both deadly weapons when it de

THE TREASURER'S REPORT.
Man Who Handies Uncle Samn's Cash Ure
wents Some Interesting Figures.
Wasnixeros, Oct. 12—The annual
report of the treasurer of the United
States will show that on June 30, 1595,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were 8855685321, and on June 30,
1597, they had increased to 874,764,377,
Of these sums 510%351.448 was avail
able on June 50, 1596, und $283,295,424
on June 30, 1207, for the strictly fiscal
operations of the government. On
June 39, 1866, £547,330.97%, and on June
30, 1597, 8591, 365953 was held on deposit
against outstanding certificates and
treastiry notes. In addition to the net
ordinary revenues, the treasurer re
coived $15,448.970 in deposits for the re
tirement of national bank notes, and
£3.250 in refunding certiticates for con
version into bonds, so that the total
income available for ihe fiseal opera
tions of the year was 5565.173.025. As
against this there was disbursed be
sides the ordinary expenditures the
sum of $11.37%,702 on account of bonds
and fractional eurrency, and the
further sum of €11.0045%5 in the re
tirement of national bank notes, mak
ing a total of 5i85,215617. The net
loss of available cash arising from
these operations therefore. was #25,-
071.091. In the issue of paper car
rency, the operations of the year, which
amount to $574.545,000, were exceeded
in only one year—lsuz—and then only
by @ narrow margin. The redemp
tions, amounting to $550.710.020, were
also relatively higher. The presenta
tion of national bank notes for redemp
tion incressed to such proportions as
to overtax the capacity of the force
employed in counting and assorting,

THRICE BURIED.
l Disxposition of Calhoun’s Remllnn—i
The Secret Interment.
l A correspondent of the Charleston |
| News and Courier says: “In the “City |
| Year Book” for 1596 appears a historical |
| account of St. Philip's church, by Gen.
i McCrady, of St Louis, in which he
| makes mention of the removal of the re- |
| mains of Mr. Calhoun from the tomb in |
| the Western cemetery to a place in the |
: rear of the church. In this connection
| perhaps it will interest some of your
| many readers to know how and when |
| said removal took place. The Sunday
| following the occupancy of Morris
s island by the federal forces 1 was ap
| proached in the churchyard of old St. |
} Philip’s by Messrs. H. and R. N. Gour- |
| din. The latter desired to know frnmf
| me whether I could keep a secret. My
| reply was that I could and would, if 1
promised to do so. He then informed ‘
| me that the desire was to remove Mr.
| Calhoun’s remains to a place of secrecy. ]
We then proceeded to select such a
place. Having done this, it was agreed |
that at midnight we would meet oo
the work. Agreeabls o the same, I
repaired to the Western cemetery at |
the your agreed upon, and there I met
Messrs. Gourdin and Messrs. E. P. and
Adam Milliken, and my esteemed friend,
Mr. 1. L. Deas, then sexton of the
| French and Protestant church, and also
in the employ of Messrs. Gourdin. After
waiting awhile Mr. White, the stone
| mason of Meeting street, arrived with
a force of hands, all colored, to remove
| the slab from the tomb. This being
done, the hands were dismissed. Mr.J.
| E. P. Alley. an undertaker of that day
| and time, furnished a new wooden case
| to put the casket in, which was of the
| Fiske make and perfectly airtight, for
| the tomb was full of water and the cas
| ket floating. The remains were con
| veyed to the vestibule of the church
and put under the staircase to the south
| of the vestibule. I threw a piece of sur
| pet over it to prevent suspicion.
On Monday night about one o'clock
| the following party met for the pur
| pose of burying the remains: Messrs,
| H. and R.N. Gourdin, . P. and A. Mil
| liken, R. L. Deas and the writer. The
| remains were taken toa spotin the rear
| of the church and immediately at the
| foot of the grave of Mrs. Jumes Wels
| man, wife of the late Capt. Welsman.
] The grave was dug during the day and
left by the digger. who never knew for
whom the grave was made. No mound
was made, and everything was confided
| to those present, all of whom are now
,I dead except the writer.
l In 1870 I resigned the sextonship of
| St. Philip’s, after serving that congre
gation from 1556 to 1870 in the humble
' butrespectable positionof a doorkeeper.
| Before leaving the church T was re
| quested to superintend the digging up
| of Mr. Calhoun’s remains and the plac
:‘ ing of them buck in the tomb from
| which they were taken, This was my
| last official act as sexton of old St.
Philips.
' What I have stated is true and sh: uld
| be given as a part of the history ot iiie
i disposition of Mr. Calhoun’s remains,
[ and is placed at your disposal.—John N.
i Gregg, in St Louis Globe-Democrat.
POSTAL CARD CANVASS.
| Populurity of That Method of Ob
i taining Information.
| Several years ago a man, who has
| #ince become well known as a promoter
| of real estate transactions in the west,
but who at that time was endeavoring
| to obtain an expression of opinion from
| eastern capitalists, sent to the latter a
j neatly and modestly worded letter in
which he ingenuously invited sugges
-1 tions as to the mode of procedure iu the
| matter of developing certain sectiony
| of the west.
l That was the beginning of a system,
i directed mainly to feeling the public
pulse, which has since come into vogue
! in political, commercial and financial
circles. As developed, and as employed
| to-day, the system is to send a few
| pointed guestions to the persons whom
it is desired to reach, together with :ll
l postal card which is to be filled in and
‘| returned to the sender. ’
i Recently a dry goeds periodical in
; New York resorted to this system lu|
| find what the business conditions were |
| throughout the country. Letters and|
| return cards were sent to the leading
merchants in every state and territory
in the union. and 1,600 replies were re
ceived. These were sorted and tabu
lated, and from the opinions advanced |
the editors were enabled to make al
deduction which was in effect that the |
long desired era of prosperity had rvul-l‘
ly arrived, and was being felt in every |
section of the union.
Believing in the value of the ]mflln]'
card system, some of the largest busi- |
ness houses of the country have resort- |
ed to it from time to time in order tnl
gain a more extended knowledge of the
existing conditions of trade. By this
means they are in closer touch with the
actual needs of the people, and are Let
ter able to guide their future opera
l tions. Organizations with branches in
every part of the United States have
| also adopted the system when seeking
' knowledge on any particular subject, |
The League of American Wheelmen
‘ finds the system, whether used for local
or nattonal purposes, of great value,
and within the past year it has become
popular with the men at headquarters
| By means of the little card a vote cun
| be taken on any subject that is contem
i plated, and afterward the count is made
known officially in the League Bulletin
| Secretary-Treasurer Bull uses the sys
’ tem every week to ascertain the condi
tion of the roads in the vicinity of New
! York city.
In England the card system has been
tried in a few instances, and then only
by newspapers seeking votes on some
project.—N. Y. Commercial-Advertiser

The bicycle fever has broken out in a most
" unexpected quarter. It is only natural that
a landsman sfimuhl take to that lgeedymefl,. 3
od of locomotion, but who would ever think
that seamen would get the craze? F. :haps
it is because they have become accustomed
to rolling. Nearly every British s! ?’ thas,
comes into port now carries a bicyelz, and
the skipper is usually an expert rider. At
gea he rides around and around the main
deck, and as soon as he reacts port he
takes his wheel ashore. Turee sea captaing
| were riding in the park the other afternoon.
One of thenr was a novice and confessed KiZ
| imability to work the tiller so as to sail a
straight course. “It’s very good,” he de
| clared, “if it just had a little more pitch to
it. Ah, that’s better,” he added, as he
struck a stone and pitched off head fore
| most. The manufacturer who will turn out
a bicyele with elliptical wheels will makea
| hit with seafaring men. — San Francisco |
