The newest gossip in Boston is " the ro-
nance Of the Public Library which, accord
mo to rumor, is to this effect, as given bv the
Commercial Bulletin AN English gentle
man who frequented the institution became
charmed with the appearance and virtues of
one of the fair assistants, the ice OF his rigid
. English reserve was melted by the sunshine
Of her smile, he became sociable and commu-
NEGATIVE finally more pointedin his attentions,
when the lady like u discreet New England
maiden. as she was, became more retiring
and reserved, not choosing to receive atten-
tons from one whose character and social po-
Siton she knew nothing of, He, on the other
hand, more enamored than ever, sought out a
lady, well known in our best society, who had
obtained for the fair librarian her situation,
obtained formal introduction at a little COM
panv given at Il residence on Beacon Hill, as
Mr. Butte, an Englishman of character and po-
siton, and next visited the par nts Of the OBJ
ect of his admiration, who were plain country
people on New Hampshire farm, and solic-
tied permission to pay his addresses to their
daughter, informing them that he was Lord
Butte, and desired to make honorable propos-
ais for the hand of the young lady. The old
folks amazed, referred rim to the young lady
herself She is said to have at first modestly
objected, saying that she feared to assume
such position rs the marriage with an Eng
fish nobleman would place her in, to which
his Lorlship CALAMITY replied that her grace
and beauty fitted her for any position How
ever, preliminaries were settled, and his
Iordship has sailed for England to make ar
fragments for the approaching nuptials."

There is a commotion among the Collect
ors Of Customs in Maine, whose commissions
expire the present year. Devereaux, at Cas-
tine, who has had the place for two terms, is
striving for new hold; but as Grant is said
to have set his face against that class, he will
probably fail Gen Tlden is said to be the
coming man there. In this district, Harmon
seems to be resigned to the DEGREES Of fate,
and prepared to die officially without strug-
gle No man presumes to designate his sue
cessor. The fierce contest for the place, that
ragged last year, has died out, and a mysteri-
Gus silence broods over the field. 1t may be
the calm that precedes the storm. We shall
not be surprised to see the editor Of the Age

New York Dec. Is. 1t is stated that the Gu
nard, Innan and German steamship lines yester-
day notified the Postmaster General that after next
Saturday they will not carry the mails nt the rates
OF the new treaty. 1t is s;ild that the Postmaster
General will send the mails in sailing vessels rather
than submit to such foreign dictatlon.
So say the telegraph dispatches Having
destroyed our own steam md sailing marine,
our radical administration finds itself snubbed
inthis style by the foreigners that ii has truckled
to. And our mails are to 90 in sailing vessels
while foreigners send the rs by swift steam
ers. 'Were we to build no sea-going ships,
nor engage in the foreign carrying trade, we
should perceive the difference but little, -

BOUTWELL'S PLAN FOR FUNDING THE
DEBT.
Correspondence Of the New York Herald.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80.

w ASlllNGTON, DEC. ~.
1t has already been stated in the newspa-
pcrs that Secretary Boutwell, intends to urge
upon Congress a plan which he has matured
for the funding of about Sl,000,00O,00 of
the national debt at four per cent. or lower.
In addition to the facts heretofore stated in
regard to Mr. Boutwelrs plan, it may be
mentioned that it contemplates taking up the
tive-twenties now due and in their stead is
suing the new bonds. 1t is expected that
this measure will be violently opposed by the
bank interest and bondholders generally.
The Secretary however, has made up his
mind and will not be swerved from his pur-
pose. As far as the banks are concerned, if
they oppose it, he will take steps to encourage
the establishment Of institutions on the free
principle The proposition of Mr.. Boutwell,,
if put into operation, will warrant an almost
immediate release of the great bulk of the
articles of internal taxation from the severe
burdens resting upon them at present. Over
S150,000,000 are now required to pay interest
alone. By the reduction contemplated it is
thought that with safety taxation can be re-
moved from all the necessaries, leaving
spirits, malt liquors, tobacco and incomes to
provide the balance required in excess OF the
customs. The funding is also considered an
actual demand, in order to produce favor
capital in bonds and in industrial enterprise
as an investment The present high rate of
interest, it is admitted, cripples the industry
of the country, as United States securities
not only provide a safe and convenient in
vestment, but also pay a high rate of inter-
est In regard to the tax on incomes there
is disposition on the part of the Secretary
to favor increasing the amount exempt to
81, 800 or $4,000, and to tax all incomes over
that amount He takes the ground that the
present arrangement is not a fair position.
For instance, a person with an income of ST.,
800, and probably large family to support,
pays forty dollars income tax per annum, an
amount he can hardly spare, whereas those
of large incomes can pay theirs without
stinting themselves or their families. He
considers the income tax Just, as it is a tax
upon the surplus wealth of the country, and
if anything should bear its share Of the finan-
cial burdens Of the government it is consid-
cred the net income is certainly very near
ly the first. 1t is also considered that this
new scheme, when put in force. will admit
of reduction of the army of internal reve-
nue. appointees, and the system will permit
material simplitcation and saving of cN-

The Gloucester Advertiser says the year
just closed has proved quite disastrous one
to the fishing fleet of that port; the losses of
life and property greatly exceed those of last
season. Sixty-seven lives have been lost,
against forty lost year. Sixteen vessels have
been totally lost, and twenty three have met
with disaster. Total value Of vessels lost,
about SS4 900; insurance, $61,13 In addi-
ton to this the partial losses will amount to
S62 300, making the total amount Of losses
for the year about Sl47 900. Total amount
of losses insurance, Sol,937. Of the sixty
seven men lost, twenty-four We're married,
leaving twenty-tour widows and thirty-tive
tathcrless children. From the records kept,
it appears that there have been l6l vessels
lost since 1880, valued at S733.750 and 9lS
lives, averaging 4 vessels and % lives year.
The most disastrous yearl was ilS62, when
IS vessels and 14S lives were lost. Nearly one
half of the losses were in the Georges fishery.

One of the little juveniles replied in a clear
triumphant voice, 'For father and mother"'
