AN IMPORTAXT DECISION. A decision was rendered bv the United States Supreme Court In an Important bank tax case entitled the Mercantile National Hank of tho City of New York against the Jdayor, Aldermen, and commonalty of the City of Acw York, and George w. McLean, Receiver of Taxes. This is ono of tliirtv- livo suits brought by the National banks of the City of New York against the municipal amnunues ol mat city to restrain me col lection of taxes assessed upon the shares of stock of said banks. The question raised by the case Is whether or not the system- of laws enforced in tho State of New ork is In opposition to Sec 5,219 of tlio ltevised Statutes of the United States, which requires that the taxation of the shares of National banks "shall not be at a greater rate than la assessed upon other moneyed capital m the hands of individual citizens of said State." I his court answers that Question in the nega tive, and affirms the decreo of the court be low in favor of the State. This Is a very Im portant decision to the State of New York, as taxes to tho amount of $2,000,000 are in volved, and the National-bank stock affected dv It amounts at nar va ne to mni flthnii 80 . 000.000. A similar dectsion was rendered in the caso of the .National .Newark Hanking company against tne mayor and common Council of the City of Newark, N. J. A NATIONAL GUN FOUNDRY. Secretary Whitnev is considering the plans submitted by tho board appointed to ascer tain the amount of plant required to equip the Washington navy-yard as an ordnance foundry. He has been in consultation with ordnance officers, and it is probable that the pians ultimately decided upon win be made public in a short time. While the report of the board will form the basis of the scheme of reconstruction of tho yard, yet a considerable reduction will be made in the expenditure proposed by It, mainly in the uiiL'uuun ol utiiizinK inuiiy ui 1110 uunuings now standing, instead of tearing them down and building new ones, as recommended by tuo Doani. As soon as the plans are decided upon work Will be begun on the machinery ami nlnnL Very few of tho large tools such ns lathes and steam hammers, necessary for the finishing of heavy orduanco can bo procured by purchase In this country, so that It will be necessary for the new foundry to make most of Its tools. It Is believed that two years' time will be necessary for tho completion of the plant largo enouirh to turn out thn hravv calibers of ateel ordnance, but meanwhile me ioundry will ue adio to Handle material ior gnus not exceeding six Inches In caliber. Every effort will be made to have the plant completed in timo to undertake the making of the heavier pieces when the deliveries ol tel begin under the new proposals. W. S.

I saw yesterday, says a writer In the Washington Herald, two of tho most curious and interesting relics of tho groatest tragedy in American history. xnvy uru mu pistol will! WUlcn John Wilkes Booth shot President Lincoln and tho dagger ho held in his hand when ho loaped from tlio box to tho stago of the theater, crying, Sio sem per tyrannis;-- incso rencs aro pre served in a bureau of ono of tho groat departments or. tuo government, and with them is tho bullet that struck Mr. Lincoln down. Tho pistol is tho most interesting of tho lot. It is one of the kind known as tho Derringer, mado In Philadelphia, which was very famous all through tiio South and Southwest thirty years ago. The ono in question is of beautiful workmanship. Its barrel is only two inches in length, and tho bullet weighs about a quarter of an ounce, me entire length of the weapon is but four inches. Its mounting is of silver, and tho lock is ono of tho finest and most perfect' pieces of workman ship I havo ever seen, even in theso weapons, which are very expensive and elaborate. Tho bullet is much battered. and was evidently driven into tho muz zle (for tho pistol is a muzzle-loader) by the use of a mallet and iron loadinjr rod. Considering tlio heavy chargo of powder under tho bullet before it was lirod, tho latter must havo been only half an inch from tho muzzle, and could easily have been touched Willi one little finger inserted into tlio barrel Tho marks of tho rilling in tho barrel aro clearly visible on the bullet, which was very much llatfenod from striking tlio skull. Altogether, a moro interest ing and ghastly curio I havo never seen While handling tho pistol I looked at the end of the breech. I found there a receptacle for percussion-caps, which had evidently been overlooked, and on openiug it I found a solitary cap, which uooiti nail 'evidently put there himself, Intending if by any chanco the ono on tho tube of tho pistol exploded without firing it, to havo another ready to his hand. A SUGGESTION TO TIIK TRAVELING PUBLIC Tourists emigrants and manners find that llosteltcr's Stomach Bitters is a medicinal sa'eguard against unhealthful influences, up on which they can implicitly rely, since prevents the effects of vitiated atmosphere unaccustomed or unwholesome diet, bad water or other conditions unfavorable to health. On long voyage?, or journevs in latitudes aojacent to the equator, )t is espec ially useful as a preventive of the female complaints and disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which arc apt to attack natives of the temperate zone sojourning or traveling in such regions, and it is an excel lent protection against the influence of ex trtme cold.'suddcn changes of temprature exposure to d?.mp or extreme fatigue.

A ITo w Dakota Town. Along about 1883 and 1883. much w 8 heard about the rapid growth of Dakota how a sprightly city would spring up where only a fortnight before was the un settled prairie. These laics were recieved at the time, in the East, with many a grain Of allowance. It has been popularly 6up. posed that the time for such examples of rapid growth had passed, and that the d vclopment of Dakota, while goiug steadily on. had assumed a more even pace; but it has been the fortune of many within the last few days to see a large town, with im portant business lnicrebts, jump into being on ground wncro but three or four weeks ago a bucolic Mouse Iliver ranchman peace fully pastured his lowing herds. . Keference is made to Minot. ut the sec ond crossing of the 3Iou.se Kivcr, 118 miles west from Devils Lake and 527 from St uul. The cause which has so suddenly brought this tin iving town iDto being lies in the fact tint this is the place chosen by tho St. Paul, Mineapolis & Manitoba Hailwayco., lor a division headquarters, nd ruilrond communication has suddenly opened up for settlement a wide and fertile cgion which, so late in the season, is al ready attracting many settlers. lhotownis building on the south side of the river, which here, as elsewhere is timbered, and on the gently sloping hills wincn lurtner back make a rapid ascent ... 4l. 1 . 1 ! - 1 1 J luiuuievui priuriu ueyonu. a icw airs ago, only the bare ground lo-dny a long main street, lined on each side With twenty or thirty business houses in all stages of completion, with hastily constructed dwell ings straggling on cither side. Lumber uildcrs, tar paper nnd a miscellaneous array of other building materials litter tLe street, and trip up the unsuspecting way farer, while rasp and clatter of the saw and lammer continues from early morn till ate at night. It is amusing to sec tlio des perate merchant to "open up" and bo tho first to catch the golden shower. Empty grain bags and tar pnper do duty for win nows, nnd blankets and quilts for doors. This is rather airy for November, building goes steadily on, and order no doubt come from chaos before the cold weather comes on. A restaurant is doing a rushing busi ness, with tho entire front of tho building not yet finished, while the thin November 'ozone" playfully whisks bits of paper around the coat tails of its patrons. Busi ness is rushing and everybody is busy. It is ready understood that there is a big demand for workmen of all kinds. Carpen tci 8 receive $2.75 to 4.00 per day, and other. work is paid for in proportion. Of course, everybody is making monev: it cant be otherwise where, with the bare ground to begin with, everything must be created from the raw material. The fu ture prospects of the town are excellent. and a greater growth can be expected next year. The town is Iho present-terminus of the freight and passenger tcrvico on the railroad, and be sides, it is lo ho the head qtiHrtcrs for building five or six hundred miles of new road next year, and machine shops, storehouses nnd division hcadquar- teis aro to ikj creeled in tho early spring. and in addition, much repairing and other work must be done. The company is busy at work putting in several miles of side-track and making other arrangements for an extensive business. But the chief factor which assures its future, is, that it is the natural entrepot for the DcLhco and Mouse river valleys, and tho exceedingly fertile surrounding country, which is now only psrt ially occupied, and which will lie certain t be settled with the opening of another spring. 8t.Paul Pioneer Press, i t Byron.
