A CHILD SWALLOWING A CENr.-A lit
tie girl aged six years at Alstead, N. II. re-
Gently swallowed a cent, and great alarm was
caused, from fear the copper might prove poi
sonous. The little girl, however, continued
as playful as ever, and complained only oc-
casionaly ofslight sickness in the stomach.
Nothing was done, and on the 4th day, says
the Claremont Eagle, the coin came away I'M
changed.
In such cases, the better plan is to sheathe
as much as possible the stomach with muci-
laginous oily drinks, as milk, &c. and not
throw in acid substances, which, by etfecting
chemical changes on the copper, gives activi-
ty to its poison.-N. Y. Star.

Great Merchants Meeting.
AT THE MASONIC HALL, NEW YoT

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE APpoIN-
TED At THE MEETING OF MER-
CHANTS, AT THE MASONIC HALL, on
THE 25th OF APRIL, 1897.
At half past 7 o'clock last evening,
the time appointed for the meeting,
Masonic Hall was SO crowded that
standing room could hardly be procur-
ed.-The meeting was evidently COM
posed, not only OF merchants but of
mechanics and operatives-ofth the bone
and sinew ofthe country. 1t was un-
commonly decorous, and all attempt at
excitement was deprecated and disa-
vowed. We have only time and space
atpresent to state, that the meeting was
addressed by ISAAC S. HONE g.
BRYAN, Esqrs., in support of the reso-
lutions, which were adopted with great
unanimity. We shall comment upon
the proceedings hereafter. The second
and last resolutions were warmly APP
plauded, and second reading called
for. After which, the meeting quiet
ly adjourned.
On motion of Shepherd Knapp, PHI
LIP HONE, Esq. was appointed Presi-
dent, and the following gentlemen
were appointed Vice Presidents:
Nathanl Weed, Benjamin Lodor,
Shepherd Knapp, Charles Halsey,
! Thomas Tileston, NJ d. Benjamin,
George S. Robbins, John w. Leavitt.
Stephen Croker and Thomas Den
ny were appointed Secretaries. Isaac
S. HONE, Esq. then read the Report of
the Committee appointed to proceed to
Washington and demonstrate with the
President on the subject of the present
distresses of the country.
This Committee having been con-
vened upon the day after its appoint
ment, we ascertained that a large ma
jerity Of our number could not leave
the city without serious inconvenience
and loss, and we therefore appointed a
Subcommittee of fifteen to repair to
Washington, and present to the Exec
utlve, the remonstrance of the Merch-
ants of New York. In the interval be-
tween the nomination of this Commit
the, and the day fixed for its departure
several of its Members found that the
increasing difficulties by which they
were surrounded, made their presence
at home indispensable and according.
ly only nine were able to enter upon
the duty with which WE were original
ly charged.
These gentlemen reached the capt.
tol on the evening Of the 2lst inst. and
on the following morning their Chair
man addressed the following note tc
the President
To MARTIN VAN buren,,

WASHINGTON, May 8, 1887.
After the address had been read to him, I'd
Presidentin brief and emphatic terms assure
the committee ofhis sympathy with the dill
tresses of his fellow-citizens of New Yorl
and of his desire to do every thing in his pow
er for their relief, consistent with the views
his official duty, and said that he would OF
swer the address in the manner indicated
his note.
The following reply was communicated
the Committee the same afternoon
WASHINGTON, May 4. 1887.
GENTLEMEN-I have. bestowed 8
your communication the attentive COZ
sideration which is due to the opinion
wishes and interests of the respel
table portion of my fellow-citizens 1
whose behalf they act.
In the correctness of the iudgmea
which, in the exercise of an undoubtd
right you have in such general term
pronounced upon particular points /
the policy of the late and present al
ministrations, you cannot expect me
concur. My opinions on those poin'
were distinctly announced to the i
merican people before my election, az
| have seen no reason to change then
But however much | may differ viii
you upon them, as well as in respect
the causes of the existing evil, you ma
be assured of the warm interest SID
ever feel, in whatever concerns I'll
mercantile community, of my de(
sympathy with those who are now ST
fering from the pressure Of the timd
and ofmy readiness to adopt any me
sures for their relief, consistent wi
my convictions Of duty.
The -propriety Of giving to the Cd
lectors Of the Customs instructions
the character desired, necessarily
wolves inquiries into the extent of t
power Of the Executive over the SD
ject, the presentcondition ofthe tired
ury, and its probable receipts and q
penditures for the remainder of y
year. These examinations have bel
; directed, and are in progress, and I
result will be communicated by Il
Secretary ofthe Treasury to the Collie
tor at New York, who WILDE instrud
/ ed to give it publicity. A few dal
will be required to arrive at a safe CO
clusion upon some parts of the inves
cation, but there shall be no unnecs
sary delay. \.
: The other subjects to which "
have called my attention, are, first,

on among the Indians. The preva-
lence of the belief which have stated
IN Mexico may be the salvation of the
Texans, for whom | confess my appre-
tensions had been greatly excited.
General Santa .Aawaa, you will be
surprised to learn, is reported to be 60
ing to Europe for two years finding 1
presume, that circumstances are unfa-
vorable to his present views in Mexico,
and being regarded with suspicion by
the present rulers of that country, be-
cause of his supposed disposition to
compromise the authority which Mex
leo still claims over the territory of
Texas.
President BUsrAMErTE has recalled
from France the Minister St. MARIA,
in order to make him Secretary ofState.
You may have seen story in the
newspapers that the command of the
Mexican army against Texas had been
offered to Gen. ELovITcH. 1t was q
command, (chief of the staff, and not
tie command, which was offered to
him and even that offer was, under
stand, declined.
Money affairs here are almost as dis
couraging as ever. For cotton there is
hardly any plice ; and we are all gap

Dreadful Rumortrom Mississippi
It is rumoredi in New Orleans, says the
N. O. Bulletin, that the citizens of Ya-
zoo county, (Miss.) had torn down the
Court house and compelled the sheriff
to resign, and several adjoining coun-
ties in like manner had also compelled
the sheriffs to resign, to prevent the
process from issuing against them du-
ring the present pressure. To what
state has General Jackson's "humble
efforts" reduced the country.
The prices provisions in the West
are falling to low point. We learn
from the Cincinnati Post that on the
s9th April sales were made there of
well cured country Hams at 81 cents
Whiskey at lS cts, & Flour at So, so.
