A remarkable forgery of the name of Ad-
miral Farragut has come to light at Wash
ington. A letter is on file in the Navy De-
partmcnt purporting to have been written
by the Admiral, recommending the assimi-
lation of paymaster's rank and pay with
that OF the medical corps, and the legalizipg
by Congress of the existing regulations of
the Navy touching staff rank. Doubts hay
ing been expressed AS to the gonunenGss
OF the letter, Secretary Robson wrote to in =.
quire about it, and received an answer from
the Admiral, saying; "After examining
very carefully tho letter referred To, have
no hesitation in saying that the compost
ton is not mine, and that although the Gig
nature bears some resemblance TO my own
am satisfied that never signed that letter"
The question now is: Who forged the let
ter, and what was its purpose And how
did he get il into the files of the Navy De.
partment. M Y. Sun.

CO.OperatiOn i'm the Shoe Trade.

At the regular monthly meeting OF the
New England Shoe and Leather AssOcia-
ton in Boston, Mr.. Walker of Worcester,
called their attention to the following words,
which appeared i'll an article in the New
York Tribune of Julyl:
1t is discouraging to find that the shoe
manufacturers of Massachusetts have de-
termined to do everything i'll their power to
prevent the experiment of cooperation from
having a fair trial. The leather dealers are
pledging themselves to g i've cO-OperatOrs no
credit, while the jobbers and wholesale
dealers will decline to buy their merehan-
disc To this miserable middle of passion.
folly and selishness, both sides have come at
last.
The president, William b. Spooner, said
that no such position had been taken by the
manufacturers, and that no such sentiments
were entertained by them. He was manu-
facturer and seller of leather, and that he
should be very glad to see cooperative So
cieties formed and see them successful.
That if they or any one else came to buy
leather Of him, the only question he should
ask was: Is the security adequate! Shall
get my pay! He was ready and DESTROYS
to sell goods to any one who would pay him.
As far as he knew, these sentiments were
universal among the whole shoe and leather
trade.
Almost all the shoe and leather manufac-
turers and dealers came from the ranks of
operatives in those branches of business,
and had strong sympathy with those who
were still in the ranks, and desired their adj
vancement and success.
Other members of the association made
brief speeches, fully confirming the state.
ments Of the president.

FIRE n NEW HAIIPsmHRE.



MANCHESTER, N. H., July 8.-This morn

the Merrimac on the south. The fire burned
from five to six acres. The amount OF prop
erty destroyed is two hundred and nifty
Thousand dollars, OIL which there is about

largest individual loser by the fire; the Ma
sonic Temple was owned by him and DR.. s.
w. Jones, worth $50, 900: insured for $780,
900. Harrington g. JOhnson's loss is about

geant's loss ST., 900, insured for $4,000. John
B. Clark, proprietor Daily Mirror, whose
office was partially destroyed, estimates his

Baptist Church burned loss $4,000. Al large
number of mechanics and small tradesmen
are among the sufferers.
