THE WEEKLY SALES OF UaIrRD
BTATESGOLD.
Secretary BOutwelrS Intentions.
Dtpatch to he Nt,O York Posi-.

Dtf7dtck to the NetO York koN.
WASHINGTON, May 81.
The action OF Secretary Boutwell, In
issuing instructions to sell, hereafter,
gold to the extent of two millions OF
dollars weekly, was not entirely uneX-
pected here, as 1thad been known that
he contemplated disposing OF the sur
plus gold in the Treasury which yester.
day amounted to nearly forty millions.
There Is no doubt that this order Will
soon be followed by another, to buy
bonds in sums larger than one million
weekly. The Secretary does not hest
tate to say that it is his policy TO Keep
no more gold in the vaults than Is alb.
solutely required, or larger surplus OF
currency on hand than is essential Tor
tie workings OF the department.:
At the present time there Is ABOUT
thirteen millions currency on handI
which is in excess of the amount re-
quired to meet all expenses promptly
by about six million dollars. This sum
can and will be used towards the re-
duction of the public debt by the pur-
chase of bonds or otherwise.
Dispatches received here this morn
ing from New York say that danger ts
apprehended that the Secretary Will
throw a large amount of gold upon the
market and break iGdoWn.L But this 10
far from his intention, as he does not
purpose doing anything until due no.
tice is given through the press. Inat
he will increase the amount OF gold 70
be sold weekly to more than two mil
lion dollars, and buy bonds with tne
money thus obtained, there ls little
doubt.

By the side OF murmurIng stream.
An elderly gentleman sat;
On the top OF his head was his wig,
And ATOP of his wig was his hat. =
The wind 1t blew high and blew strong,
Asthe elderly gentleman sal;
Aud IL tore from his head in q trIce,
Ard plunged in the river his hat.
The gentleman then took his cane,
Which lay by his side as he sat;
Ana he dropped In the river his wig
In attempting TO get out his hat.
His breast 1t grew cold with despair,
And full in his eye sadness gal;
So he flung in the river his cane,
To swim with his wig and hishat.
