NEW York, October 2l.-A specia
dispatch from Washington says tina
General Garfield has called meeting c
the Appropriation Committee for No

estimates Of the Department viii be in
Thus far none Of the reports have beef

A very ingenious plan has been de
vised, and is now in extensive opera
ton, to evadsthe law requiring revenu,
stamps on bank checks. The last inter
nal revenue act abolishes the STAMP
duties relating to all papers such as re
ceipts and the like, except bank checks
To escape the payment Of two cents on
each check, many business men have
their checks in the form Of receipts,
upon which the bank pays their money.
The Bureau has been frequently ap.
pealed to by banks, but it is powerless to
make any change or stop the practice.
There are now in the Tombs, confined
on the charge Of murder, twenty-five
criminals, several Of whom have not yet
been tried, while others, who have al
ready been sentenced TO death, are
awaiting the action OF the Court from
the appeals OF their counsel. Two of
the principal men among the crowd
charged with murder are Foster, the
car hook murderer, and Stokes. Fos-
ter's last hope now lies in the Court of
Appeals, before which tribunal he will
probably be taken in November. Stokes
bears his position much less fretfully
now than at first. His health is good,
aud he is very hopeful Of being gently
dealt with in January.
1t is stated that Tweed left the city
and will not return until
satisfied that bail will be taken in his
case. 1t is said that he was informed
thatthe proceedings now being instituted
against him were on new indictments,
for which no bail would be received.
The indictment against Mayor Hall is
very voluminous, and covers seventy
eight counts. The grand Jury will re-
sumo its session tomorrow, when it is
probable the indictments against Hall
and others will be brought into court.
The Herald editorially says, that no

quarter Of century or longer more
than the Cuban. and says the slavery
view Of the Cuban question must enlist
the sympathy of the world more and
more for Cuba, and make Spain more
obnoxious, and asks, in view Of this
question acquiring fresh Importance, of
the prolonged aud fearfully bloody
struggle in Cuba which Spain ia power
less to end, of the Insecurity to Ameri-
oans and American interests in Cuba,
of threatened ruin to the commerce Of
America there, and the demands of bu
manity and civilization, is it not time
that the United States recognized the
Cuban patriots as belligereats and thus
put both eidea an Tho same footing.

BARBOUR LEWIS on cARPET-BAG-
GTRG

We learn that Barbour Lewis, in his
speech at Macon last week, said that
Landon c. Haynes and all the East
Tennesseeans who have lately moved to
this end of the State were carpet bag
gers, and that the latter were hard
looking set" There are about five hun
bred voters in Fayette who are from
East Tennessee They have been pub
licly tainted by Barbour Lewis as being
carpet-baggers These gentlemen came
here to work and make an honest living
and not to NEEDLE with politics, and
they keenly feel that they have been
grossly insulted by man who is their
inferior in many respects. 1t is barely
possible that they will remember this
distinguished gentleman on election day
by voting for Haynes, who was raised in
East Tennessee, aud is. according to
Lewis, carpet-bagger. = Somerrille

A Good Hit.

When Jenny Lind was in this country,
she once attended the Bethel church in
Boston, where the well remembered
Father Taylor was pastor. The good
man, who did not know that she was
present, was requested, as he entered
the house, to preach on amusements.
The church was crowded and the pulpit
stairs we're filled. The sermon opposed
dancing, card playing end theater-going
but approved music. The preacher paid
q glowing tribute to the power Of song,
and to the goodness, modesty and the
charity of the sweetest of all singers,
"now lighted on these shores" Jenny
Lind was leaning forward, and clapping
her hands With delight, when tall per
son rose on the pulpit stairs and in
quired whether any one who died at one
Of Mas Linds concerts would go TO
heayen7 Disgust and poniemnf swept
across Father Taylor's face as he glared
ut the inlerloper: A Christian will go

will be fool whefegsF he is-eyen il he
is on the steps Of the pulpit"

Extracting the Teeth of Young Persons.

Unless they become extremely painful
it is best TO allow nature to conduct
the process Of shedding the first set of
teeth. 1t would occupy too much room
in this paragraph to give a reason for
this advice. Therefore receive it as true
without hesitation. When the second
set are developing it is commsn prao-
tice of some dentists to extract one
somewhere in order to give mope room
for others, which are said to be crowd
ing. That is serious mistake not to
be perpetrated. If one is removed, the
jaw at once stops growing, and the re-
suit is very different expression from
what the individual would have had,
provided all the teeth and Jaw were
harmoniously developed together. In
consequence of that sort of unphiloso-
phical interference with the law of denti-
ton, one jaw or the other is smaller
than it would have been. The whole
character of the face becomes altered.
Even distinct speech is sometimes i'm
paired in that way. When carries takes
place after the teeth have completed
their growth, they may be removed
with less damage to facial expression.
