part Of the story is that the aforesaid beau was
engaged to be married TO young and beautiful
lady, who, IN consequence of tho Episcopal veto on
wigs, now refuses to become the welded BRIDE
What calamity for the beau At one blow he
loses his reputation and his lady love. The whole
affair win be fully ventilated by the Rev. Frank
Moore In his forthcoming work on the efficacy or
baptism In an ocloth suit, in which he is to take
the ground that neither wigs, scratches nor
cnignon oppose any sufficient obstacle to Episcopal
imposition, and cites the case Of Jacob versus Esau
as showing conclusivey that the candidate has and
the bishop has not right to put on airs.

Iu,portaEt Change in the Census nurenu.
Mr.. James 8. Wilson, who was formerly Chief Clerk
OF the Census Once, and for the last two years
clerk in charge OF the Census records has been
removed and DR.. HOugh, somewhat identified with
the late bangllng State census OF New York, ap-
pointed in his place. tits thought that this move Is
made with view to the training Of Dr. Hough for
the charge of the Ninth United STATES census; but
his constitution is hardly equal to the discipline aad
regimen requisite to adapt him to position OF such

The sudden and unexpected ascent OF the new

Sherman Is not the least disconnected by the shock
which has been given the current OF his financial
theories. The butcher shop and overturned gastric
SMILES applied to Senators Cattell and Warner have
not IN the least disturbed the presence Of mind Of
those gentlemen. The Senators listen 10 the etfu-
slons Of the rising starr they say, because Of their
novelty and incoherency and, as they state,
furnish excellent lessons in eccentric oratory.
The new candidate for fame has Of late
become exceedingly democratic in his habits. He
may be seen during the day surmounted by puri-
tanic hat after the style OF the pilgrim Roger VIII
hams, with studied men and apparently In profound
meditation, strolling aong the avenues seemingly
without any definite destination in view. At night
he is a constant frequenter OF public places Of
amusement. At the opera he may be seen among
'the boys' in the galleries, and the next moment
moving with measured tread down the
aisle of the parquet, attracting observation
and remark on all sides. The cares and RESPONSE

The Tice Meter.
The whiskey disters are making an issue with
the Internal Revenue Department about some orders
issued lately by Commissioner De,ano relative to
the Tice meter. 1t win be remembered that Con-
gress passed law Providing that this particular
meter should be attached to all distillerles. The
time and manner Of doing 1t were left to the dscre
tion OF the Commissioner, as also the amount to be
paid by the d!stlllers to Mr. Jce the manufacturer
To regulate the latter arrangement the Commissioner
decided that three gentlemen should be appointed
to appraise the value OF the meters two to e named
bv the department and by the manufacturer. Mr..
TTce. The appraisers fixed the price at $1,000 for
each meter, and the Commissioner decides that the
money must be paid Mr.. Tice as soon the meter
is delivered and before it Is attached to the still.
The disters claim in the first place that the charge
for the meter Is cxorbitant. They say that 1t be
proved that does not cost over 5000 to make them
and while they are willing 10 pay Mr.. Tce reason
able profit for his invention, labor and material,
they think $500 is too much. Another ground OF
complaint is that they should not be required TO pay
for the meters until they actually attached to the
dstilleries, and until has been ascertaned whether
they will work well. 1t is estimated that to supply
all the dstllleries in the United States with these
meters Will cost about s.. 900 at the price fixed
by the appraisers. According to the theory OF the
dstiers the largest part OF this amount will go into
the pockets OF Mr. Tice The distiers have sent
counsel here from different parts Of the country TO
represent their grievances to the Internal Revenue
Department.
