SAWYER AAD THE sPppePRI.FIay


A report having been circulated in this
place thatour Representative in Congress,
the Hon. Philetus Sawyer, had used his
influence to cut down the appropriation
for Manltowoc harbor, we have taken
the trouble to see that gentleman and
get history of the whole matter which
we lay before our readers, merely stating
thatthe said report issoobyiousy false that
1T hardly needs correction. Mr.. Sawyer
said: Not long since, as is well known,
bill passed the House of Representa-
tlves and went to the Senate-where it
failed to pass for want Of time-giving
$4,000, each, &c Manitowoc and Green
Bay harbors. Learning of this failure |
went to the chairman of the Committee
on Commerce in the Senate and found
that an addition to the Deficiency bill of
one million dollars was to be reported [
asked if in this addition anything could
be done for Manitowoc and Green Bay
harbors; L was answered, not one cents
acorth. | told him then that the bill
could not pass the House. An arrange
ment was soon effected to increase the
addition to million and a halt, and [
received the assurance from Mr.. Humph-
reys, Chief Of the Engineer Department,
that all the money necessary for the use
OF Manitowoc and Green Bay should be
: paid out of that sum to carry on the work
the present season. Tie Deficiency bill
passed in that way, and the harbors re-
ferred to are to day receiving all the aid
that Major Wheeler asks for. The Bill,
first spoken of, passed by the House ap-
propriating $35, 900 is still before the
Senate and will undoubtedly pass at the
next session; so that all the help receiv-
ed this fall is additional aid - 4
.Ehusit will be seen that the report spok-
en- of above was not only false but we are
actually indebted to Mr.. JSawyer's indie
fatigable efforts for the necessary funds
to carry on the work this fall to the ex-
tent that it has been done.

ANOTHER NgT VESSEL.
Launch of the Schooner Jessie Phillips

! On Saturday afternoon, at precisely
three o'clock the fine schooner, which
has been under course Of construction at
the shipyard near Jones BILL, was con-
signed to It's natural element The launch
of a vessel at this place is no curiosity
An opportunity for witnessing such a
scene is of frequent occurrence here, and
all the novelty of transferring a vessel
from the stocks to the water, is taken
| away on this account. However, quite
a number of our citizens-both ladies and
gentlemen-assemble in the immediate
neighborhood of the shipyard to witness
the launch. 1t proved to be one of the
most successful that has ever taken place
here, and when the signal was given the
fine schooner, displaying a fine set OF
colors-one of which bore the name Of
Jessie Phillips = gracefully moved down
the slippery ways to float upon the water
like a thing of life. A gentleman from
Chicago had the honor of naming tie
vessel and he presented her with the
colors, valued at a hundred dollars.
The Jessie Phillips was built by MIR.
Jasper Hanson, and her model is consld
cred one of the best that has ever been
produced Good timber has been used
in her construction and every pains taken
to make her strong sea- worthy vessel,
capable of successfully facing the heavy
storms of our inland seas Her length of
keel is lI3 feet, over all l26 feet. Depth
of hold feet inches Breadth of beam

tention to have her ready for business by
the first of October, and she viii be com
manded by captain I. FL. Rowland, well
known by many Of our readers as
thorough sailor-man of many years ex-
perience.

ard, Hoes & Rowland, and we hope
viii prove profitable investment to her
enterprising owners.

To impart correct information con-
oerning the social condition of Tennes-
see is one. of the duties which the Ten
nessee State Board of Immigration has
imposed on me, in sending me once more
to the North. In the discharge of this
duty l beg to state to you that | am very
desirous to have it distinctly understood
that while there are portions of TenRes-
see where disorders prevail, by far the
larger portion ofthe State is in as peace
full condition as any part of the North,
and that, while there are lawless men
committing acts of violence in some
parts of the State, there is yet a very
large majority of the citizens of every
shade of political opinion who are frown-
ing upon these acts and are endeavoriug
TO prevent them, II it were otherwise
how could there be the peaceful and un-
interrupted development of the mineral
wealth of many parts of the State or the
influx of large farming population
from many parts of the North who, after
living for months in Tennessee, do not
hesitate to encourage their friends to
Join their numbers p? Distance, it seems,
though it often lends enchantment, is at
times the cause of misapprehension, and
heartily desire that our Northern friends
during the coming summer would turn
their steps to the mountains and valleys
of Tennessee, in order to form their own
opinion concerning this question of the
social condition of the State in which the
citizens of Tennessee take of course no
common interest.

the opinion that the custom Is so general
in Paris that lady receiving her friends
card with either OF the four corners
broken down can tell at a glance the
object of the call This is an error, for,
as a general thing, there is no rule the
wording printed on the back OF the card
has been varied TO suit the taste OF those
using the following words on cards-as,
for instance, in French, il has been used,
Feiicitation, in the right upper hand oi
the card; Coincidence, on the lower right
hand; Viste, on the left upper corner
and Congo on the left lower corner OF
the card; aud have seen this wording
placed just in the opposite direction.
A translation Of the French has also
been made and used in the Spanish
language. In English it has been used
in various manners-some having il con-
dolence, visit. adieu, regret; also, con-
dolence, visit, adieu, and congralulation.
The letters p. p. G. on a visiting card
meaning pour prendre conge-to take
leave--sre not much in use now. Such
cards are often inclosed in envelopes and
sent to ones friends just on the eve of a
long Journey. Most Of your readers are
unausstionably quite familiar with the
initials II. S. V. P. on invitation cards,
meaning A" Responder s IL voits ptaif,n or
"Send an answer IL you please. This
idea has been also expressed in plain
English: "The favor of an answer is re-
quested." In the matter of invitation
cards being issued in the name OF the
mother, or parents, instead of using the
daughters name, quite agree with your
last correspondent, that when parents
are at home it is in much better taste to
issue party invitations in their own
name. For weddings, parties, or recep-
tions, they should be always in the name
of father and mother, both having equal
interest in the marriage oftheir daughter.
| will make mention of an original idea
of the late N. P. Willis-namely, in the
corner of his visiting card, in neat script
letters, he had placed: The wish, but
not the time for call" This idea is
quite pretty, showing that you have not
quite lost sight of your friend, but it is
rather too business-like to become much
in vogue. We remember printing only
one pack of these cards for Mr.. Willis,
and do not think the idea was ever
adopted. J. N. G.
