Cabbage and Porter.

The following amusing auecdote is
now going the rounds of the English
clubs and messes, and is said to have
happened quite recently: An officer
was ordered on duty from one station to
another. In his travelling claim ap-
peared the item, Porter, Cd. This
was struck out by the War Department.
The officer wrote back, stating that the
porter named had conveyed his bag
gage from one station to the other, and
that he would have had to take cab,
which would have cost 1s cd. In
answer to this he received an
official reply, stating that under
these circumstances his claim would be
allowed, but that he should use the
term "por,erage" instead OF porter"
He, unable, we presume, to resist the
temptation which seized him, answered.
to the effect that, although be could not
discover a precedent for the word "por-
terage," he would, nevertheless, do as
be was told, and wished TO know whether
he, should use the term cabbage when
he meant cab" The response was q
severe reprimand from the War Office.
The officer, however, had the joke at
their expense, not the first one, either.
that the petty economy OF. the present
Government has called forth. -.a...b q

STAND M THE GUNS.

Before the late election We claimed
5000 majority for the GREELEY ticket
in Hamilton county. We now, with
equal confidence, since the result has
been narrowed down to GREELEY and
GRANT. insist that our majority will not
be less than 10000 in this county for
GREELEY. Since the result Of Tuesday,
there has been a general stampede. 1t
is known that we shall carry the city in
the spring on Mayor, and all those who
wish to be on the strong side are COM
ing over. GRANT is very unpopular,
and hundreds who voted the Republi-
can ticket will not vote for him. The
figures show, too. that there are thou
sands of Democrats who did not vote
on Tuesday, for our vote is not as great
as it was four years ago at the October
election. Ten thoqsspd majofity under
the circumstances is low estimate for
the majority GREELEY will get in Old
Hamilton. With ashttle work and ex-
ertion we might make it 1900; but
10000 is enough to carry the State

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Adsiees from st,
Petersburg state that GOrtschakof's note to
Minister Curtin was published in the Off
cidL Messenger, an unusual course. 1t says
Catacazy was ordered to come to Russia as
soon as the Grand Duke departed from the
United States, and was informed that he
would not be returned to his post. The
Prince regrets that the painful affair did not
terminate with this aequiescence by Russia
IN the request of Mr.. Fish, who ought
then, By the rule of courtesy between friend
ly nations, to have considered it finally set
tied. Subsequent correspondence shows
that neither sufficient attention nor respect
was shown to the Russian ambassador per-
forming his duties. Mr.. Fish'S letters
present complaints against Catacazy and
thus invite the Imperial Cabinet to judge his
conduct. Many ofSthese complaints Cata
cay has satisfactorily refuted, and on others
judgment would be passed when Catacazy
had full liberty to present his case. The
Prince hopes the justice Of this will be suff-
GENTLY understood. The United States
cannot expect judgment to be passed on
Catacazy before he renders his version of
the unpleasant affair.
The tone Of the note Is that of studied
inSolence. II is certain that Gortschakoff
lost his temper and is excessively annoyed.
Notwithstanding his expressions of con-
tinued amity, there is decided coolness in
the relations betWeen the two nations.

A UtOpian Scheme of Internal I'm
prOVemeDtS.

PrOVemeDts.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. IA bill has been in
troduced by the Legislature to facilitate the
construction of railroads in this State. The
principal feature is a provision to issue to
all new broad gauge railroads $4,000 per
mile in State bonds, and $1,000 per mile to
narrow guage roads. All roads receiving
this aid are to pay into the State treasury
two per cent annually of their gross earn
ings to be applied to pay the interest on
bonds and create sinking fund to pay off
the bonds. After the interest and bonds
are paid this two per cent is to 60 into the
State treasury and be perpetual source Of
revenue. County Courts are prohibited
from taking stock in said roads,
except by a tWO-thirds vote of the
legal voters of the county. The amount of
bonds to be issued under this bill is not to
exceed s18,OOO,OOO Mr.. Leiper, author of
the bill, estimates that under this law the
State will have in ten years two thousand
additional miles of railroad, and that the
interest and bonds will all be paid off. The
roads are to be under full control of the
Legislature.
Greenbacks vs.. Gold.
A Joint resolution introduced in the
State Senate yesterday, authorizing the
State Treasurer to pay some four hundred
thousand dollars in State bonds maturing
tomorrow in currency instead Of coin,
created considerable feeling among merch-
ants and citizens generally here to-day, and
this evening the Board of Trade held a
meeting and passed the following:
Resolved, That the st. Louis Board of
Trade do hereby Indignantly denounce any
such proposition, and demand the fulfill
ment of the obligations of the State in letter
and spirit.
LATER.-Joint resolution authorizing the
State Treasurer to pay the maturing State
bonds in legal tenders passed the Senate
this afternoon by vote of 20 to 10. The
debate on the resolution was very warm,
and an effort was made to give the matter
political turn, and an intimation was thrown
out that there was a job in it. Several
Democrats voted for the resolution while
others denounced it in strong terms.
A special to the Democrat gives the fol-
lowing explanation of the case The Legis-
lature having failed to direct in what man.
ner the maturing Indebtedness of Jan. IA
should be paid, the responsibility was
thrown ON the Fund Commissioners, con-
sisting of the State Treasurer and the Aud
itor, of deciding the matter. The commits
sioners, therefore, under the advice of
the Governor, directed the payment in
coin as stipulated in the bonds. 1t seems
there is no law requiring these bonds to be
paid in coin, and it Is claimed that the
